Why is Bao Bell's reputation not good, but there are works released one after another? This year alone, there should be three movies on the list!
Recently, another "big production" starring him was released, which also included the sexy goddess Clara and Jia Bing, Wei Xiang and others in the comedy circle.
Loading...
Looking at this lineup, you know that it is a "comedy movie", but it is said that the cost of this movie is more than "100 million"!
I really can't figure it out..... Comedy movies are usually small productions, but looking at the cast doesn't mean that all of them are big names, if you let the cost exceed 100 million?
Although the cost is high, the premiere box office of this movie is really a bit "hit the street", only 8 million box office.
Should I say it or not, don't look at Bao Bell's "evaluation has not been good" in the mouths of netizens, but he still has a lot of works he has participated in, like Zhao Tai in "Big Man" starring before, although the work was remade with the copyright bought.
But he is really good at playing a "gentleman".
However, even if everyone has opinions about him, the other actors in it are still quite exciting, such as Clara, who was at the peak of "Love Saint" back then, and she was not sexy in a red dress.
Needless to say, Jia Bing and Wei Xiang are also well-known comedians in the circle, so "The Big Villain" attracted a lot of attention during the publicity period, I thought it would be a big hit, but I didn't expect the box office to be so bleak!
What kind of concept is the box office on the first day of only 8 million? This amount of money is not even a fraction of the cost! Could it be that the promotion of this movie has not been done well? Or is the audience aesthetically tired of Bao Bell's funny?
The plot of the movie is too repetitive
Let's talk about this movie first, which tells the story of the young actor Bi Chao played by Bao Bell who went through many hardships and hardships and finally got the opportunity to play the role of a villain.
He knows that this opportunity is not easy to come by, and he is determined to take advantage of it and show his acting skills, but fate always likes to joke.
An unexpected car accident unexpectedly not only disrupts his plans, but also causes him to unexpectedly lose his memory.
After amnesia, Bi Chao vaguely regarded himself as a suspect in the kidnapping case, although his heart was full of confusion, but at the same time, there was an obsession driving him.
So he wants to rewrite his own destiny!
simply continued to carry out the kidnapping, but he didn't expect another accident on the road, it can be said that his journey was extremely difficult.
Not only did he endure hunger, but he also suffered all kinds of beatings, and he was under tremendous physical and mental pressure.
What's worse is that he accidentally provoked three real gangsters who "want money and don't want their lives", and then Bi Chao and the three gangsters launched a thrilling chase and competition......
Let's just look at this plot, don't you think it's a little familiar and boring?
The audience is tired of watching those routines and wants something new. Others said that Bao Bell's performance was a bit too hard and felt unnatural.
However, some viewers defended Bao Bell, saying that the film may just not meet the right audience, and the box office does not fully explain the problem.
(The editor wants to ask if the box office of a movie can't explain the problem, so what can explain it?)
I don't know where the cost of 100 million was spent, maybe it was to buy copyrights?
(Or: the leading actor never loses)
It's all a remake
In fact, for Baumbel, this is not the first time he has ventured into remakes.
It's not that the audience doesn't accept remakes, like the remakes of "Manslaughter 1 and 2", the effects are very good, but those brainless remakes should not come out and be embarrassed, right?
In 2018, he and the article starred in "Fat Squad" was released, this work is also Bao Bell's directorial debut, this film really has no obvious plagiarism, because it is a combination of many movies....
Multiple shots in it can be found in provenance.
Then in 2019, Bao Bell also became a small hit, and won a good reputation by starring in the movie "Big Man", but this movie is also a remake of South Korea's "Veteran".
After a year, Bao Bell reappeared in the audience's sight with the starring movie "My Girlfriend is a Robot", the name of this movie must be known to everyone at a glance which one is a remake, right?
That's right, it's the Japanese movie "My Robot Girlfriend", and the effect of Bao Bell's remake is "really shocking", a combination of disaster movies and science fiction films.
watched Xin Zhilei's acting skills in "Flowers", and I really regretted that she was scolded very miserably because of this movie at that time...... In the end, the score of this drama barely reached 3.5 points!
In 2023, he has once again made a remake of the Korean movie "The Secret Zoo" and launched "What's in the Zoo"!
But this movie is also known as "the first bad movie in 2024"!
So many remakes of movies that buy copyrights still haven't found the trick, look at Jia Ling's remake with the remake to cut down more than 3 billion box office in one fell swoop!
The remake collapsed, and neither can the leading actors
Do you think Bao Bell only has remakes of movies that hit the streets? In fact, the movies he starred in are not very good at the box office!
Xu Zheng's "People in Embarrassment" series originally had a good reputation, and "Thai Embarrassment" brought this series to the top, but by the time of the third "Hong Kong Embarrassment", Wang Baoqiang, who was originally the protagonist, disappeared and was replaced by Bao Bell.
The result is that "word-of-mouth box office double hit the street", Xu Zheng also said when he appeared on the show later, "The embarrassing series and the surname Bao are incompatible"!
If you really want to say that there are good actors, such as "Only Our Dying Youth", he played a good supporting role in it, if I remember correctly, he also won an award for this movie that year.
In the rest of the films, whether it is the box office or word of mouth, it has not reached a satisfactory level, for example, in "Journey to the West", his role did not leave much impression on the audience.
On the other hand, the performance of some other actors in the same type of movies is much better, and they have gained good word-of-mouth and box office results.
Take "Journey to the West" as an example, the Tang Seng played by the article at that time was quite impressive, the audience liked it very much, and the box office was also good.
Unexpectedly, after the second part changed actors, the movie collapsed directly, and Bao Bell's acting skills were all criticized.
Some viewers frankly said that Bao Bell's acting skills are really not excellent, and he always interprets the role with a fixed expression and tone, which makes people feel extremely blunt and pretentious.
In addition, Bao Bell's image does not quite fit the audience's aesthetic guidelines, his appearance and figure are not outstanding, and there is nothing unique and attractive.
And his hairstyle and clothes always make people feel particularly rustic and low-grade.
(But people's daughters-in-law worship and obsess.)
Some viewers pointed out that the themes of the films selected by Bao Bell are also difficult to attract people, and he always remakes those foreign films and does not create some original stories that are unique to him.
His films are extremely lacking in their own style and character, which makes people feel very lacking in creativity and sincerity.
In addition, his directing level is also very average, which can be seen from the fact that he has made so many unsuccessful remakes, or the plot is copied, or it is simply "changed randomly", which is illogical.
The quality of the work is similar to that of the "Internet movie".
Especially after the "Liu Yan Incident at the Wedding", the reputation of Bao Bell and his wife plummeted!
One final word
The main reason is that most of the previous works disappointed the audience too much, so as soon as I saw "Bao Bell", I felt that it was box office poison, so I simply didn't go to the cinema to watch it.
If he wants to change this situation, the first thing is to refuse the remake, or even if it is a remake, he has to make the plot a little better and make the audience look interesting, and he needs to work hard in these aspects to improve his strength and level.
I have to say that this time "The Villain" is probably going to be a failure again, remakes nine movies in five years, you can have a snack!
Finally, I added a sentence "Clara is so beautiful, and it is more charming to be fat"~
What do you think of the remake?
