changed the starring series of movies, just like a bird without wings, a robot cat without a master bag, and Wukong without a golden hoop stick, losing the soul of the original classic movie.
It was originally a movie with a good box office and word-of-mouth, but who knew that when the sequel was filmed, the starring role was changed, and it would lose that flavor.
"Hong Kong Embarrassment"
The pioneering work of the "Embarrassment" series - "People in Embarrassment" can be said to be a big surprise to the audience that year, and the road comedy starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang is down-to-earth and funny.
tasted the sweetness of "People in Embarrassment" with a small box office, Xu Zheng had the idea of making a sequel in his heart, and wanted to use this IP to focus on the creation of "People in Embarrassment" II, and it was written, directed and acted by himself.
After the success of the first two films, Xu Zheng was unwilling to end the "Embarrassment" series, and in 2015, "Hong Kong" was born, but the reputation declined extremely, and it was also a self-written, self-directed, and self-acted movie.
Although it has achieved a box office of 1.6 billion yuan, the reputation is not so good, this one is like the light of the explosion of "Thai Embarrassment", the low Douban score is ironclad proof, as low as 5.7 points, 7.7 points for the first part, and 7.4 points for the second part.
is also an embarrassing series, also directed by Xu Zheng, written by the screenwriter and starred in person, but Hong Kong embarrassment did not give us the feeling of surprise back then, and was once considered a "bad movie".
And the biggest difference between this is that Xu Zheng's golden partner Wang Baoqiang did not appear in the first two films, or Wang Baoqiang is a good actor, it can be seen from this play, there is a saying that goes like this: "It's not terrible to win, it's embarrassing to be there, it's not terrible to lose, it's embarrassing to be whom."
Wang Baoqiang is indeed a good actor, who can play the honest and honest Geng directly in the movie to the fullest, and the role played by Xu Zheng constitutes a joyful gap effect.
But Bao Bell is almost in this regard, which may be the reason for his lack of comedy experience, Bao Bell plays a stupid root, which is more like acting.
Seeing the comments of netizens really broke the truth, whether it is a husband and wife or a classic movie starring, or the original match
To say that Bao Bell is just not suitable for acting in comedies, especially when the two explosions are popular and there are fans looking forward to acting under pressure.
Then Wu Yifan in "Journey to the West" can be described as having no acting skills, and netizens' comments hit the nail on the head.
Journey to the West
In the first "Journey to the West", Tang Seng played by the article who wants to break away from the world, faces the crush who turns into ashes, which makes people feel distressed, and at the same time, he also feels that the acting skills of the article are mature enough that he can already allow the audience to substitute the role of Tang Seng into him.
As the sequel to "Journey to the West", the demon chapter is produced by Stephen Chow and directed by Tsui Hark.
Wu Yifan was a traffic idol star at that time, and he had a large fan base, but his acting skills really didn't dare to compliment, from the blunt artificiality of the lines to the unnatural movements, and the facial expressions were too deliberate, these were much more youthful than the articles.
Looking at the entire movie, the score has also plummeted, with a score of 5.5, far less than the 7.1 score of "Journey to the West".
I don't know if there is a reason for Wu Yifan's acting skills.
Netizens are also outspoken about Wu Yifan's acting skills, and after watching Wu Yifan's performance, they miss the article very much.
1 point is given to Wu Yifan, and 100 stars are useless.
"Truant Dragon"
Stephen Chow's movies are really endless, most of them are classic and good-looking, whether they are produced by Stephen Chow or starring himself, they can be brought out for people to talk about.
Stephen Chow's performance is brilliant enough, and his golden partner Wu Mengda is also superb in acting, and the two have collaborated on thirty or forty films, Su Qier, Journey to the West 1 and 2, and Truant Weilong 1 and 2, which refreshed the box office that year.
To say that the first part of "Truant Weilong" is Stephen Chow's police one-man show, but the second part is Wu Mengda's noisy supporting role, and there are even more laughs, the famous "You are teaching me to do things" is from this drama.
It's a pity that Wu Mengda did not star in the third part of "Truant Weilong", and the box office will inevitably fall.
Even netizens said that the absence of Uncle Da is like the absence of something important.
Although Anita Mui and Chen Baixiang also joined, in people's hearts, Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda are more laughing together, and the reputation is still unsatisfactory.
Even Stephen Chow commented that this movie was "a little boring", and if there is anything hilarious, his answer is no.
Transformers
After talking about domestic movies, let's talk about foreign ones, everyone has seen "Transformers", which was also a global existence back then, the heroine of the first two films, Megan Fox, the photo of opening the hood, but fascinated the existence of thousands of young men.
But in the third part, it was replaced, but the reason was that he had a bad relationship with director Michael Bay, before publicly criticizing Transformers for not paying attention to acting skills, but paying more attention to special effects, which made the director unhappy, and then Michael Bay asked for harsh literary dramas, and Megan Fox scolded the director for being a tyrant and a Nazi.
If "Transformers" focuses on the male protagonist and Optimus Prime, the drama of the Decepticons, and the heroine being replaced has little impact, then it doesn't say anything.
However, in the fourth part of "Transformers", Shia LaBeouf, who played Sam Wittwiki, was replaced, which had a big impact.
Shia LaBeouf is also hovering on the verge of death after becoming famous, taking drugs and becoming sexual, which leads to mania, which is manifested in the third part, and there are scenes of him manic and roaring in the third part, in fact, they were all added by themselves, and the director couldn't resist him, so he could only shoot like this.
In the fourth part, the director actually invited him, but he was about to quit the entertainment industry because of drug abuse and mania.
The first three Transformers can be called classics, and after the fourth part, the Transformers who replaced the male protagonist played by Mark Wahlberg in Shya LaBeouf, the recognized word-of-mouth box office declined, and to add insult to injury, the fifth part was also starred by him, and the box office was less than half of the fourth part
Originally, it was still the appearance of the sixth part, but it was also forced to cancel due to the bad reviews of the fourth or fifth part.
Transformers changed the male protagonist, and also thought of a remedy, which was to replace other characters and plots with brand new, but it still didn't help, and the audience still didn't buy it, maybe Shia LaBeouf's role was too deep in the hearts of the audience
epilogue
For the sequel to the classic movie, everyone still likes the easter egg brought by the continuation of the original character and the original star, like exploring life after the first ending, which can satisfy people's unfinished curiosity.
And the original starring actor has already made a deep impression in people's hearts, and it cannot be changed, if it is changed again, it will be more or less uncomfortable and unaccustomed.
