"New Jiupin Sesame Official" played with the edges, and the box office only sold 3350 in three days, which hurt the face of Sister Huang Yishan

In 1994, ghost director Wang Jing joined hands with Stephen Chow, a film celebrity in "One of the Fortnights", to bring a classic comedy movie - "Jiupin Sesame Official".

The box office of 30.17 million ranked seventh in the annual box office list of Hong Kong that year.

And today, thirty years later, this absolute masterpiece in the hearts of countless fans has been remade, crowned with a "new face", and debuted - "New Nine Sesame Officials".

However, on the day of the premiere, the box office was only 1,300 yuan.

So far, three days after its release, the box office is only 3,350 yuan, and the filmmaker's account sharing is even more pitiful than more than 1,000 yuan.

There is no doubt that this is another bad movie of "fried cold rice".

Some netizens who have watched it bluntly said, "Is it necessary to remake it? ”

It's hard to believe that there are really directors and actors who "head iron" to "touch porcelain" star masters in recent years, rubbing his popularity.

You must know that there are many classic works of Xing Ye, but most of them are irreproducible, in addition to the solid script and novel story, a number of supporting roles also have their own brilliance.

And now if you want to "reproduce" the state of the year, it is difficult to do it with supporting roles alone.

In fact, a few years ago, Xing Ye also "rubbed" his own works, such as "The King of New Comedy".

Although he found famous directors, powerful actors, and even adapted the script to keep pace with the times, the effect was really not ideal.

Therefore, even Xing Ye didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to surpass his classic works, but "New Jiupin Sesame Official" actually had the courage.

However, if you look up the director and starring of this movie, it should not be surprising.

Let's talk about this director first, Zhu Lingfeng.

He rose to prominence with the production of the costume comedy TV series "Laughter in the Hospital", and in 2016, he directed the costume drama "Joyful Agent" with Bao Bell and was upgraded to director.

Since then, he has been mixed in the field of "Internet University", and most of his works are rubbing IP, and the score of a certain petal is almost three or four points.

The male protagonist Peng Yu厶 (péng yú sī), the existence of "carrying the handle" in the Internet University, he was originally studying graphic design, and by chance, he came into contact with acting.

In 2014, he made his debut by participating in the costume comedy "Bao Xiao Gongtang", and in just ten years, he has starred in nearly 100 film and television works.

Among them, the most out of the circle is the fantasy comedy "Taoist Priest Out of the Mountain" starring him, which is also the reason why netizens advised him to "catch ghosts well" after watching "New Jiupin Sesame Official".

If the configuration of Wang Jing + Stephen Chow is a strong combination, which makes people's expectations for the movie rise infinitely, then the lineup of Zhu Lingfeng + Peng Yuyu will reduce the quality of the movie to the greatest extent.

In line with the principle of "I've seen a bad movie, I still have to watch it if it's so bad", Uncle Fan is really finished!

Today, Uncle Fan will talk to you about this "New Jiupin Sesame Official".

1. The complete collapse of the plot under the copying

At the beginning of the release of this movie, it was known as "the original team of "Jiupin Sesame Official".

But in fact, in addition to the supporting roles "Sister Pomegranate" Yuan Qiongdan and Huang Yishan playing the old bustard and the emperor again, there is only the queen voice engineer "Shi Banyu" of the star master.

This made many viewers feel very uncomfortable.

The first is that this dubbing and the male protagonist's bleak face are put together, there is really no laugh, and it is even very disobedient and embarrassing.

Moreover, Sister Pomegranate and Huang Yishan are also old, and the burdens and jokes that can be highlighted on their bodies are very reluctant.

Such a "gimmick" can be described as a "sky collapse start", not to mention that there are no highlights in the plot.

Compared with "Jiupin Sesame Official", the story of this movie is generally based on the former model, but there are some changes.

At the beginning, the gentry "Chang Wei" fell in love with the folk girl "Pang Xiaorou", so his father sold his daughter to the other party at a low price, but Pang Xiaorou already had a place in her heart, so she found the bamboo horse Bao Longxing.

On the day of the wedding, Bao Longxing, who is the magistrate of the county, "hired" several actors and staged a scene of "fox demon snatching relatives", and successfully helped Xiaorou escape from marriage.

With Xiao Rou's "escape", Chang Wei, the "bitter master", was unwilling to look for someone around, and finally discovered the "scheme" of Bao Longxing and Xiao Rou.

So, in a fit of rage, this gentleman raised a knife and killed the Sun family's family of eight, and only Xiaorou escaped by luck.

After the case, Bao Longxing took Chang Wei for the first time, tried the case, and put him on death row, but Chang Wei's godfather was the secretary of the criminal department.

Soon, a prefect arrived and overturned all the cases, and Bao Longxing became the murderer of the case, making him a wanted criminal.

The plot behind this does not need to be repeated, basically according to the old version of the story.

The scenes of the acrobatic troupe and the scenes of the Qinglou are all in it, and it is said that it is "new", but it is nothing more than breaking up the old version of the story and making some changes, and the effect presented is really indescribable.

Second, the main characters have been changed by magic, and the character creation is single and featureless

In the old version, Bao Longxing, a later supplementary county, was a "rotten person" at the beginning, in addition to greedy for money, there was also inaction, so he was rejected by the people.

His growth was prompted by two opportunities.

First, before fleeing, when his father died, he said, "Corrupt officials will be traitorous, and clean officials will be even more traitorous."

He wants to sue the royal court, although there is a reason to seek justice, but it is more of a "revenge" mentality, because he is not treacherous enough.

Second, on the way to Beijing and even after entering Beijing, several encounters, being backstabbed by his father's friends and being tricked by Qinglou, Bao Longxing understands that simple good people can't fight these wicked people.

Only then did Bao Longxing develop a body of courage and have the courage to fight with the bad guys.

Looking at the new version, Bao Longxing is a "light of justice" from the beginning, and the character has no growth logic, as for the reason why he wants to sue the royal court, it is more to save his beloved woman Pang Xiaorou.

The contrast between the two patterns is undoubtedly the new version of the slag in seconds.

There is also Fang Tangjing in the film, in the old version, Fang Tangjing played by Wu Qihua is extremely cunning, he is clever and clever, and he always has a "cheap" look.

Even in the face of Bao Longxing, the magistrate, he has the confidence to be positive, which makes people laugh at the same time, and he can't help but want to hit him.

But in the new version, Fang Tangjing is actually a good person.

After that, Bao Longxing practiced his skills and returned to fight with him, but naturally there was no more.

What's even more outrageous is that in the new work, Fang Tangjing's setting is Bao Longxing's small hair, and he is still jealous of the latter's ability to be an official, coupled with the threat of his mother and sister, he finally became the person who "helplessly" framed Bao Longxing.

Similarly, the one who was changed by the demon was Lei Leopard.

You must know that in the old version, this person has contributed a lot of famous scenes, and the sentence "I want them all" is still fresh in the audience's memory.

In addition to being funny, he is also one of the promoters of the plot in the original story, chasing Bao Longxing all the way, becoming a "bodyguard", forcing Chang Wei to show his martial arts, and so on.

But in the new version, Lei Leopard has undergone a 360-degree change and has become "Lei Meow", with a slim figure and a convex and backward curve.

Especially the deep V design on the chest, if it weren't for a knife, it is estimated that you would be able to go to the red carpet for a walk.

I don't know what the screenwriter thinks, originally this role was very classic and expressive, but he actually set it as "the beautiful girl of the net", and played a side ball.

Third, many classic pictures were deleted, and the box office was unexpected

For example, the role of "Ruhua" was deleted, and there was naturally no scene where he hit the wall to help Bao Longxing escape.

The role of Li Lianying's father-in-law was also deleted, and the sentence "You are such a big official" can no longer be heard.

And the scene that shows Father-in-law Li's ruthless beating of Fang Tang Jing's mouth was also deleted.

There are also Lei Leopard, the Emperor, Bao Longxing Qinglou Encounter, Bao Longxing was mistaken for a woman in the drama class, etc., all of which have been deleted.

It can be said that many classic and worthy of scrutiny in the old version cannot be seen in the new version.

On the contrary, in the new version, the emperor directly went to the trial and Bao Longxing asked his subordinates to pretend to be the king of Hades to intimidate Chang Wei.

It's putting the cart before the horse.

Frankly speaking, such a work dressed as a "ghost and god" and full of avenging love is really difficult to impress the audience.

Therefore, the poor box office is also expected.

In fact, as an audience, we like Xing Ye's "Jiupin Sesame Official", not just because it is a comedy.

There are also many ecology presented by the characters.

For example, the Qi Qin family in the old version was coveted and violated by Chang Wei, and finally had a tragic fate.

She also longed to clear her innocence, but what she was waiting for was torture to extract a confession, so she sneered helplessly, and the next second her eyes were full of hatred and revenge.

She is just an ordinary person, her experience is an unjustified disaster, and the salvation she longs for is also the truest thought in the hearts of thousands of ordinary wronged people.

This character not only moved the audience, but also Bao Longxing in the story.

But Pang Xiaorou in the new version cried dryly, without any tears, she couldn't empathize with the role, and she couldn't move the audience.

There is also Chang Wei's arrogance, in the old version, as the second generation of officials, he is domineering and lawless.

The moment the yellow coat was added, he almost swelled to the extreme.

Like all perpetrators, he has fears and fears, and when he realizes power, he shows the arrogance of those in power.

But such a three-dimensional and vivid villain cannot be seen in the new version.

What we see is more like an angry thug.

It's really a mess, you must know that "Jiupin Sesame Official" is a comedy, and it is also a detective movie that punishes evil and promotes good, but its core is more to highlight the growth of the protagonist Bao Longxing.

When he was a child, he had a good heart and upheld justice, but when he grew up, he was lost in fame and fortune, and then he was lost.

The film uses Bao Longxing's perspective to interpret people's livelihood and bureaucratic power, which is full of irony and reflection.

And "New Jiupin Sesame Official" just dismembered the case and proved the old-fashioned drama of "evil defeats good" with a farce.

Alas, such a big network, don't shoot it next time!
