After the comedy movie "What's in the Zoo?" entered the working day, the single-day box office revenue was 4.18 million, down 67% month-on-month, with a total of 40.4 million. If you look at this trend, the box office should come to an end, and there is no hope of breaking 100 million, and the cost of the film is 100 million, which is a loss.

In direct proportion to the box office that did not perform well, is the Douban score of the film, which is only 5.3, and it is expected that there is still room for decline. Many viewers who have watched the movie have given spicy comments, thinking that it is very intellectual, saying that they really didn't expect that the first movie they would watch in the cinema in 2024 would be a bad movie, and at the beginning of the year, they would already be able to make a summary of the bad movies at the end of this year.

It is worth mentioning that this movie, which cost about 100 million yuan, is likely to spend most of its money on copyright. That's right, the movie is still a remake. The original version was the Korean movie "Secret Zoo", and strangely, the original version did not have a high rating on Douban, only 6.6. Some netizens joked that Bao Bell wanted to opportunistically remake a very ordinary movie, so that he would not be compared too badly if the two versions were compared. As a result, it was still miserable. Moreover, there is a cold knowledge, Bao Bell has made 5 remakes in a row, and he has made so many films, but he has not yet found the trick of how to shoot well.

If you are lazy to buy copyrights, you want to take shortcuts if you are not original

""Big" People", "My Girlfriend is a Robot", "Northeast Love Brother", "Sunshine Sisters", these are the 5 movies that Bao Bell has made in a row, including Japan and South Korea, some of them are directors, and some are just starring. The only thing in common is that all the remakes make Bao Bell almost became "China's No. 1 Sinicization Emperor".

Remakes are a commonplace topic, remakes of classics and foreign works are not uncommon, and Hollywood also likes to remake, even if there are countless of them that are getting worse and worse, but the thing itself is nothing, this is also a way of creation.

The main reason for most remakes is that they saw that the original work made money and was profitable, so they moved their minds. But this "What's in the Zoo?" is a remake of a very ordinary story, and the original work did not make a lot of money, and the performance was extraordinary.

So why do you buy this movie copyright? In the final analysis, you are lazy and too shrewd.

Being lazy is that you don't want to or maybe you don't have the ability to be original. Because the biggest advantage of a remake is that it is fast, the script is ready-made, there is no need to bother, and the production company has no upfront sunk costs.

is too shrewd, for Bao Bell, remakes have become a habit for him, ready-made scripts do not need to be polished, they are filmed quickly, the cycle is short, and the money will naturally come back quickly. Moreover, buying the copyright of a second-rate movie is definitely cheaper than a hit. It's just that this kind of behavior of constantly taking shortcuts has become what Bao Bell makes the audience very dissatisfied.

Superficial localization, no novelty, and perfunctory copying

The movie tells the story of a young man named Frustrated in the workplace, who suddenly takes over a zoo that is on the verge of closure, and tries to complete a zoo business plan with strange employees pretending to be animals.

After watching the two movie versions, you will find that they are exactly the same, basically copying. Sadly, in the process of localizing the original version of What's in the Zoo?

The copy has not been moved yet, and the original version still has a lot of places that make people feel very textured at first glance, but the props of the remake are very cheap, and they can be seen to be shoddy with the naked eye. What's even more ridiculous is that you have to put on a seriously adapted coat and carry out superficial localization. However, the localization method is that the leading actors all speak Northeast dialect, and then use Northeast dialect to speak Internet hot stalks. There are some strange baggage in the movie, as if trying to amuse the audience, and with a messy soundtrack, the audience will feel like pins and needles in the cinema.

The actor doesn't have to worry about the performance externalizing and wasting the lineup

What is the advantage of a large population, the tactics of crowds.

This movie used actor Wang Qianyuan, called the pillars of "Happy Twist" actors Chang Yuan and Wei Xiang, and brought together many comedians from the Northeast, such as Song Xiaofeng, Pan Binlong, and Jia Bing, who has been screened for a year because of "Hurricane", and Xu Zhisheng, who has also been laid off and reemployed by talk show artists.

In this way, when I first looked at the lineup, I felt that the movie was just a bunch of artists who you thought were funny when you looked at them, thinking that no matter how bad they were, they could have a look. I don't know if it's because the script is not solid, and everyone doesn't care, several actors, no matter how high or low their level, anyway, they all play their own roles, and there is no chemical reaction.

Bao Bell has overdrawn his reputation in front of the audience again and again, and the loss at the box office is the most intuitive answer.
