On April 8, the highly anticipated movie "Nobody 2" was officially announced, and this news sparked heated discussions among netizens.
In 2018, directed by Rao Xiaozhi and starring Chen Jianbin , Zhang Yu and Ren Suxi "The Nameless" was released.
This domestic film with great black humor is still talked about by the audience, with a Douban score of 8.0, and actor Zhang Yu began to be well-known to the audience with "The Nameless", and his sentence "Bigger and stronger, create brilliance" is still a hot Internet stalk to this day.
The success of "Nobody" is due to the wonderful plot and the excellent acting skills of the actors, although there are no traffic stars to join, but with the excellent quality of the movie itself, it has still been recognized by the audience, which is also the unique charm of "Nobody".
Now, after a lapse of 6 years, the sequel "Nobody 2" is finally coming, judging from the news learned so far, "Nobody 2" continues to be directed by Rao Xiaozhi, and it is mentioned in the official publicity that the original cast will return with new actors, which means that Zhang Yu, Ren Suxi, Chen Jianbin , and Pan Binlong, who performed well in the previous work, will all return, which also retains the original flavor of the series of movies.
In addition, although the names of the new actors have not been announced, judging from the news currently circulating on the Internet, many big names will join "Nobody 2", including Andy Lau, Yang Chaoyue, Dong Yuhui, etc.
The success of the previous work has given the sequel great confidence, so it is understandable to upgrade the cast, after all, in this era of traffic supremacy, the joining of traffic stars is not all bad.
But the new cast still caused a lot of controversy, among which the most controversial ones are Andy Lau and Dong Yuhui!
Andy Lau is controversial, I believe many viewers can't think of it, after all, as a predecessor in the Chinese film industry, Andy Lau is very powerful in terms of popularity and acting skills, and his joining of "Nobody 2" this time will indeed bring more attention and higher topicality to the movie.
But it is undeniable that Andy Lau is only suitable for icing on the cake today, and it is difficult to have the ability to turn the tide of the war by himself, in fact, if you look carefully at the works starring Andy Lau in the past two years, most of the films starring him as the male lead have average word-of-mouth box office, and Andy Lau has not shown a strong box office appeal, "Mr. Red Carpet" is the best proof.
And the only movie "The Wandering Earth 2" that wins both box office and word-of-mouth, Andy Lau is more of a icing on the cake in the film, and the box office appeal is obviously inferior to Wu Jing.
But this is not to say that Andy Lau is no longer good, as an actor, Andy Lau still has acting skills, but with the development of the times, the film group is getting younger and younger, and young audiences do not have such a strong emotional contribution to Andy Lau, so it is reasonable that the box office appeal will decline.
Dong Yuhui's joining is also unexpected, as an Internet celebrity who became popular by live broadcasting, Dong Yuhui is not a professional actor, but the traffic he brings is not beyond the reach of ordinary actors, he joined "Nobody 2" this time, more because of the traffic on him, as for the quality of his acting skills, it may not be so important.
Many netizens saw this cast and bluntly said that it seems that Rao Xiaozhi has to bow to reality, but I still hope that the director will not forget his original intention and continue to continue the style of the previous work.
It is reported that the story of "Nobody 2" will revolve around a mysterious order from Yiwu, China, which has set off a storm that has embroiled half the world. The plot is full of suspense and surprises, and I believe it will attract a lot of attention and expectations from the audience.
Looking forward to the early release of "Nobody 2", let's wait and see!
