On October 31 this year, the Korean version of "Perfect Stranger" was released, which was a hit at the Korean box office, once topped the South Korean weekend box office list, and also received high praise.
This is the 9th remake of the classic Italian film Perfect Stranger, and the Korean version is titled Perfect Other.
The original version of "Perfect Stranger" was released in China in May this year, and finally received 53.5 million yuan at the box office with excellent word-of-mouth. Born in 2016, douban scored 8.6 points and has been remade into German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Greek, Swedish, Russian, Arabic and Korean versions.
So many countries have been remade, see it and think, there should be a domestic version of it, as a result, the domestic version really came, within three years, "Perfect Stranger" was remade 10 times.
Recently, the domestic version of "Perfect Stranger" finally debuted, but was startled by the title, called "Mobile Phone Crazy", the English name is Kill Mobile, instantly feel good collapse, this looks very localized, if the seven protagonists are receiving scam calls and marketing calls one night, it must be really a mobile phone ringing non-stop, how vivid and image of the title.
"Mobile Phone Crazy" is scheduled to be released at the end of December, starring Tong Dawei, Ma Li, Huo Siyan, Qiao Shan, Tian Yu, Dai Lele and Xi Mengyao, and this cast is mixed.
The director of this film is Yu Miao, a screenwriter, who has screenplayed works including "Let's See the Meteor Shower", "Big Husband", "Little Husband", "My Best Friend's Wedding" and the mainland version of "Love Saint", which is his first time directing a film.
Because it is a remake, the story adaptation of "Mobile Phone Crazy" should not look like it should be large, and the focus is on localization, Sinicization and reinterpretation of the story.
Based on the story framework of "Perfect Stranger", it still tells the story of a seven-person dinner, but because of playing a game that should not be played, the secrets in the mobile phone are exposed one by one, and everything becomes out of control.
In fact, before watching the trailer, I thought that the domestic version, the seven of them would play hot pot and drink liquor, or barbecue and drink beer, however, there was none.
It looks a bit foreign, drinking red wine, there are some snacks on the table, cold mix, fruit, meat skewers... It still feels like it's not fun enough, playing hot pot or forming a circle of barbecues.
If you have seen "Perfect Stranger", you must know that this movie is still quite a test of the actor's acting skills, good acting, wonderful, but the performance is smashed, the story is smashed.
What will be the final effect of "Mobile Phone Ringing", it is not yet visible, it needs to be further observed, but just watching the trailer has not caused the desire to watch, it feels almost hot, I hope that the positive film is not so.
This domestic version of "Perfect Stranger" is locked at the end of December this year, will play a surprise, or frightened, let's wait and see.
