Ding Haifeng, this name used to be a beautiful scenery in the film industry. With his tough guy image in "Wu Song", he is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become the idol of countless fans. The years are unforgiving, but the 53-year-old's latest movie "The Death of the Ember Owl" unexpectedly caused an uproar. What the hell is going on?
Ding Haifeng's acting career can be said to be a typical story from grassroots to star. In his early years, through his unremitting efforts, he left a deep impression on many film and television works. Especially in "Wu Song", his performance made him famous in one fell swoop and became a representative of the iron man in the eyes of the audience.
As he grew older and the film and television market changed, Ding Haifeng gradually found that his position in the mainstream film market was no longer so secure. He began to try to transform, constantly dabbling in some new fields and styles, hoping to find new breakthroughs.
But contrary to expectations, most of these online movies are not of high quality, and some of them are even rated as "bad movies" by the audience, which has dealt a big blow to his once brilliant image. Ding Haifeng did not give up, he is still looking for an opportunity to return to the top.
The release of "The Death of the Ember Owl" this time should have been a good opportunity for him to prove himself. The film tells a story of revenge and redemption, and Ding Haifeng plays a complex role in the film, which he hopes to show the depth and breadth of his acting skills.
Plot issues. Many viewers reported that the story line of "The Death of the Ember Owl" is disorganized, making it difficult to figure out the true direction of the plot, and the emotional line is also far-fetched.
In the context of the current rapid development of science and technology, the audience has higher requirements for the visual effects of film and television works, and this work obviously fails to meet the standard in terms of special effects, and many scenes look too fake to be invested.
What is even more disappointing is Ding Haifeng's performance. His rough, straightforward acting style is well received, but in this film, his acting skills seem to have lost their former shine. His expression is stiff, the dialogue fails to resonate with the audience, and is even a little exaggerated and loses the realism it deserves.
This kind of problem led to the criticism of "The Death of the Ember Owl" as soon as it was released. The response from the audience was particularly intense. Some netizens bluntly said that the film completely lived up to their expectations, and some even began to wonder if Ding Haifeng chose such a project because "the United States ran out of money and had to return to China to make bad movies".
For Ding Haifeng, such a response is undoubtedly a huge blow. Once a tough guy on the screen, but now he is being criticized and questioned so sharply in front of the public, his career seems to have reached a new crossroads.
But will this former star still have a chance to turn around? Can he regain the hearts of the audience and regain their respect and love through continuous efforts?
The film's producers and investors are also paying close attention to this wave of negative reactions. In the film industry, the success of a work is directly related to their return on investment. The poor performance of "The Death of the Ember Owl" may make them more cautious in future collaborations, and may have a significant impact on Ding's market value.
The release of "The Death of the Ember Owl" is not only a commercial failure, but also a severe test for Ding Haifeng's personal career. How he faces this crisis and how he adjusts his career plan will be the key to whether he can return to the top in the future.
For viewers and fans, it is also worth paying attention to whether they are still willing to give the former tough guy a chance to prove himself again.
