Preface
In recent years, the phenomenon of remaking movies in the entertainment industry is not uncommon, and the remake of classic works has become the focus of attention. Whether it is for nostalgia or to cater to the audience's tastes, film and television companies have launched remakes, trying to attract the audience's attention with the help of classic IPs and achieve a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth. However, remakes are not always easy, especially when choosing a classic for a remake, and how to give a new idea while preserving the essence of the original is key.
Stephen Chow's works have always been loved by the audience, and his masterpiece "Jiupin Sesame Official" is known as a classic among the classics, both in terms of plot setting and character performance, which has left a deep impression on the audience. Therefore, when there were rumors that "Jiupin Sesame Official" would be remade, many fans expressed their worries and dissatisfaction, after all, this film has gone through many years, and the audience has a special emotional bond with it, and the remake may destroy the charm of the original work, and even affect the audience's overall perception of Stephen Chow's works.
However, the development of the film and television industry is inseparable from the injection of fresh blood, and the launch of remakes is also to allow more audiences to have access to excellent film and television works and re-understand the charm of classics. Therefore, how to find a balance when making remakes, which can not only meet the expectations of the audience, but also show different highlights from the original work, has become a problem that film and television creators need to think about and discuss.
1. The remake of Stephen Chow's works sparked controversy
Recently, some media broke the news that "Jiupin Sesame Official" will be newly adapted, and the director chose not other well-known directors, but Guo Jingming. For the news of this, many fans have expressed their dissatisfaction and opposition, after all, Guo Jingming has been controversial in the creation of film and television works, and his masterpiece "Small Times" series has been complained about by the audience, and choosing it to remake Stephen Chow's classic works will naturally cause a lot of controversy and questions.
In fact, as soon as the news of the remake of "Jiupin Sesame Official" was exposed, it sparked a heated discussion on the Internet, and many fans expressed their concerns and objections to it, after all, in the creation of film and television works, the director's skill and understanding ability are very important, if you can't interpret the original work reasonably, it is easy to lose the charm of the original work, so that the audience will have aesthetic fatigue, which will affect the film's reputation and box office performance.
And Guo Jingming's choice to remake Stephen Chow's work also surprised many people, after all, the two have obvious differences in the style and shooting techniques of film and television works, if they can't reasonably combine the original and modern elements, it is difficult to resonate with the audience, and may lose the charm of the original work, making the audience resistant to the remake.
In addition, when carrying out remakes, the choice of actors is also a key factor affecting the audience's perception, after all, Stephen Chow's performance charm in film and television works cannot be replaced, if the new version of "Jiupin Sesame Official" chooses amateur actors, it is difficult for the audience to resonate, but it may affect the viewing experience of the whole film, therefore, whether it is the choice of director or actor, you need to consider carefully, and you can't blindly follow the trend, otherwise it is easy to make the remake lose the charm of the original work, resulting in dissatisfaction and resistance from the audience.
Second, the success of the remake does not depend solely on the star cast
In the remake phenomenon of film and television works, many film and television companies will choose first-line stars to participate in performances, trying to attract the attention of the audience through the halo effect of stars, so as to obtain good box office results. However, the market performance in recent years has enough to show that the success of a film and television work does not only depend on the star lineup, but needs to be refined in many aspects such as script, director, and performance in order to win the recognition and love of the audience.
Especially when remaking classic works, the audience has a special emotional bond with them, if you just rely on the halo effect of the star, it is difficult to get the audience's recognition, but may be complained by the audience, therefore, how to find the right cast in the remake has become a problem that film and television creators need to think about and solve.
First of all, the casting of actors is very important, whether it is the male protagonist or the female lead, they need to have a certain acting foundation and relevant role shaping experience, only in this way can they better understand the inner world of the character, interpret the role with their own understanding and perception, so as to win the recognition and love of the audience.
Secondly, in the filming process of the film, the director's guidance and observation are also crucial, only through the director's careful arrangement and guidance, the actors can better play their own performance characteristics, shape the characters more vivid and three-dimensional, and leave a deep impression on the audience.
Finally, the audience's love also needs to be reflected in the performance of the film, only through excellent scripts and wonderful performances can we attract the attention of the audience, make them resonate, and thus have continuous attention to the film, so as to achieve a good performance at the box office and word of mouth.
3. The unique charm of the original work should be respected
When remaking a classic, both film and television creators and the audience need to have a heart that respects the original, after all, the reason why a classic can be called a classic is because it has outstanding performance in all aspects such as script, performance, shooting techniques, etc., which has left a deep impression on the audience, therefore, when making a remake, you should deeply analyze the success of the original work and find the elements that the audience likes, rather than simply copying and imitating.
Respecting the original does not require that the remake be exactly the same as the original, but requires film and television creators to be able to give new creativity and performance on the basis of a deep understanding of the original, and through modern aesthetic perspectives and shooting techniques, the remake presents different highlights from the original, giving the audience a new viewing experience.
In addition, when choosing a remake, you also need to have a certain trade-off and judgment ability, after all, not all classic works are suitable for remakes, and some works can become classics because they have a unique atmosphere and emotional value of the times, if a remake is likely to lose the charm of the original, but it will affect the audience's overall perception of the original, therefore, on the basis of retaining the essence of the original work, make trade-offs and innovations, and choose works suitable for remakes for adaptation, so as to gain the recognition and love of the audience.
epilogue
The emergence of the remake phenomenon undoubtedly provides the audience with a window to re-understand the classics, so that they can feel the excellent works through a new perspective, however, when choosing remakes and participating in the creation of remakes, they need to have a rational and inclusive heart, respect the uniqueness of original works, and give enough understanding and support to remakes.
I hope that in the future film and television creation, there will be more excellent remakes, and through the dissemination and performance of film and television works, the power of classics can be continued, and it can also bring more inspiration and thinking to the audience.
