Another remake of the previous work has quietly pounced.
Compared with the remakes of the past that were scolded a few words no matter how good or bad, this remake of "Sword and Fairy" and the Xianxia drama renamed "See You Again", the audience is too lazy to scold.
Everyone is only left with a breath of resentment: Is the screenwriter Jiang Lang exhausted, and he will only remake old dramas?
It is not easy for "See You Again" to land.
Not to mention that "Fairy Sword One" is in front of the jade and difficult to surpass, just Liu Yifei and Hu Ge are like white moonlight cinnabar moles, it is difficult to find actors who can replace them.
But Tou Tie's "See You Again" still rose to the challenge, under the banner of a highly restored game, vowing to shoot a unique Legend of Sword and Fairy.
As a result, the audience who just watched the trailer didn't buy it: it's okay to respect the original work, but you don't have to restore the pixel art from 20 years ago one-to-one.
Ling'er is a descendant of Nuwa, she is not the daughter of the Eclipse King!
In addition to looking exactly like the villain in the game, what beauty does this angry look like?
However, "See You Again" is not useless, and has been highly recognized by gamers in terms of the restoration of the plot, special effects, and scenes.
However, it is a low-level mistake to say that it is meticulous, and it is a well-made work.
But whether it is criticism or praise, this drama is like a stone sinking into the sea, it can't make a splash, and no one cares whether it's good or not.
Perhaps, everyone has long been tired of these remakes that draw tigers and become anti-dogs, and they are not better than blue, but they have ruined the classics one after another.
Some people retorted that the audience doesn't like remakes because they have characters and era filters, and they don't have a heart for young actors.
But is that really the case?
Taking "Sword and Fairy" as an example, when Liu Yifei and Hu Ge were filming, they were only seventeen or eighteen years old unknown rookie actors, and the audience did not turn off the TV because of their immature faces.
Looking back now, the service at that time was far less exquisite than it is now.
After many years, netizens found out that the crew was poor and provincial, all supported by the actors' faces and sense of faith.
Ling'er's headdress is either so elegant that there are only one or two hairpins left, or it is so cumbersome that it looks like an illegal building has been built on her head.
Sometimes, her clothes are tied in a white sack, and sometimes she is dressed in fancy and layered mountains.
The rest of the costumes were also perfunctory, as if they were sewn from the curtain cloth that had been brought back from Pinxi.
Including Lin Yueru and Anu, they were also colorful and indescribable, as if they wanted to pile the most flowery rags on their bodies.
If you cover their faces, none of these clothes are pretty.
But at that time, we still watched it with relish, and our emotions were involved in the fate of the characters in the play, and we cried happily for them, not caring about the miserable costumes and the special effects of five cents.
Nowadays, the actors' costumes are becoming more and more beautiful, and the special effects technology is becoming more and more realistic, and the drama can't stand it.
The remake standing on the shoulders of giants is said to be difficult to shoot, but it is a great challenge to surpass the previous work;
However, remakes in recent years have frequently overturned.
Ju Jingyi's "The Legend of the New White Lady", Douban score 4.4;
Hu Yitian and Chen Zheyuan's "Peerless Double Pride" made a good martial arts drama into an ancient puppet Tanmei drama;
Tian Xiwei starred, the remake of "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Man" "The Sedan Chair Happy Event", the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, which attracted a lot of scolding;
Not to mention those who copy popular Korean dramas and Japanese dramas, resulting in bad movies that are not adapted to the water and soil and become four different from the four.
Remakes are not without success.
Jin Yong's works, as the most valuable golden sign of martial arts films, are often filmed by directors over and over again.
The most classic of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the 83 version filmed by Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling, and the 94 version in which Zhang Zhilin and Zhu Yin played the leading roles was also well received.
In 2017, it was remade by Yang Xuwen and Li Yitong, although it was not very popular, but it unexpectedly received unanimous praise, which is also a drama starring young actors in recent years that has not ruined the classics.
As for "Dragon Babu" and "The Condor Heroes", the latest remakes have all suffered a tragic Waterloo without exception.
In the final analysis, there is not much room for innovation in remakes, and it depends more on the performance of the actors.
Within the established framework, with appropriate casting, passing acting skills, and a steady script, it is possible to make a decent work.
For example, Liu Tao starred in "The Legend of the White Snake", not to mention surpassing Zhao Yazhi, but also deduced Bai Suzhen with a different charm.
On the contrary, Ju Jingyi's version of the White Lady, from appearance, makeup to acting skills, does not fit well with the adaptability of the role.
are all familiar stories, Liu Taosheng is close to his face, outstanding temperament, delicate emotions, and will not make people play.
It's just that there are always a few successful remakes.
A few years ago, film and television dramas set off a boom in remakes, and many works were not of high quality, but at that time, the audience loved to join in the fun and complain, which made these dramas unexpectedly popular out of the circle.
Like "The Temptation of Going Home" in the early years, Hong Shixian's sentence "You are so sassy" is still used today.
The little dragon girl played by Chen Yanxi was made into an emoji because her hairstyle resembled a chicken leg.
Chen Qiaoen played the villain Dongfang undefeated in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but he became popular by mistake because of the evil makeup.
Have you found out, everyone has a playful attitude towards the remakes of the past, like tasting a strange dish, the more undelicious the more interesting it is, so as to satisfy the curiosity of the hunt.
Just like "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" back then, it is not because of how good-looking it is, but because it is crazy enough, it makes people complain tirelessly.
Now, it has become difficult for remakes to retain audiences.
The first is that everyone is tired of watching this kind of grandstanding trick, the second is that it is not easy to find suitable actors, and the third is that they are more looking forward to original and high-quality film and television works.
In fact, instead of putting the pot on the actors for the overturning of the remake, it is better to say that the directors and screenwriters have become lazy and accustomed to using doctrine instead of writing scripts with care.
Remakes are simple, low-risk, and don't need to work hard to create, and old wine in new bottles can be performed according to the template, which is why they are now keen to remake big IP games and novels.
However, it doesn't matter if people eat egg fried rice once in a while, who can stand it if they fry cold rice every day?
Film and television practitioners should stop blaming the audience for being difficult to serve, the screenwriter creates a high-quality script with heart, the director ponders the lens language well, and the actor strives to improve the level of acting skills, which is the top priority.
Otherwise, everyone will not be bothered to take a look at the wonderful remake.
