It's coming, it's coming, Gillian is coming with her new movie again!
Following the previous two years' "Meat Loading Daji", she came with a new work "Painted Skin, Love Extinguished".
Are you going to play the "Meat Dragon Girl"?
Don't talk about the dragon girl or the dragon girl, this intentional or unintentional "exposing the flesh" is for fear that others will not remember the "nude photos" in 08?
I don't know what kind of wind has been blowing in the entertainment industry in the past two years, and they are not good at acting in dramas, and one by one celebrities and Internet celebrities are eyeing the fragrant bait of "Internet University".
At the beginning of the month, Lou Yixiao's new film was criticized for "showing meat", and two days ago, the new film of "Brother Gazi" was also criticized for "overturning without becoming popular".
It's all too good to be less and more rotten.
And now Gillian has brought a new movie adapted from the classic IP, but it should not be said, this web series adapted from the horror movie of the same name topped the popular soaring list as soon as it was launched.
Could it be that Gillian can really get rid of the embarrassing title of "meat pretending to be Daji" this time?
"Traveling light" is frequent
Judging from the plot of the film, the new version of "Painted Skin" also retains the classic "love triangle" setting, and on this basis, the screenwriter has also made a lot of "magic changes".
In the film, Gillian plays the role of Ah Ruo, the dragon girl of the East China Sea, who comes to the world at all costs in order to find her sweetheart Wang Sheng (played by Li Mingxuan), who is seriously injured and has been left in the world.
Just when Ah Ruo was "mending his heart" for Wang Sheng, he was designed by the fox demon Xiaoman (played by Cui Zhenzhen) to snatch the treasure spirit leaf on her body, thus staging a bloody drama of "two women fighting for one man".
What's more interesting is that at the beginning of the film, people have the illusion of "stringing plays" to "A Chinese Ghost Story", and all kinds of familiar elements such as fox demons, grandmothers, scholars, etc., completely dizzy the audience.
It wasn't until there was a scene of the heroine and the female supporting actress "changing faces" later that I suddenly realized that this was a tribute to the original.
However, what are the two jealous beauties fighting for?
This Wang Sheng was originally a passer-by, and he was powerless, so why did he become the object of coveted by "fox spirits and fox friends"?
In addition to the cliché of the plot, Gillian's style in the film was also scolded out of the circle.
The crew is almost "lightly traveling", is it to show the fairy wind and fairy bones of the dragon girl?
frequently exposes Gillian's 43-year-old figure.
In order to attract attention, the female supporting actresses also dress with a slight sense of "rubbing the edges", revealing a lot of flesh intentionally or unintentionally.
For example, Xiaoman's ultra-small cheongsam is so convex and backward that it feels like it is about to burst, and it is a little reluctant to say that it is wearing "clothes", at most it covers the key parts.
The other banshee, Qingqing, is dressed very charmingly and sultry on the upper body, but the lower body seems to be hollow.
I have to say that Gillian is still in a very bad state in this film.
As far as she is concerned, when she was young, she did have a peerless face, her facial features were three-dimensional, her eyes were bright, and she was tender enough to pinch out water.
Even in middle age, Gillian's face is still outstanding, but she is too easy to gain weight, and when she gets fat, she has no spirit and no temperament.
This time in "Painted Skin", Gillian's image is really a little "overweight".
Her goose egg face became an "ostrich egg", and the entire jaw was almost invisible;
In the foreground, she is like a gas canister, short, stocky and chubby, with an adjective all over her body: stocky;
As for the close-up view, she laughs like a big fat girl, which is a little out of touch with the cold image of the dragon girl.
There is a feeling of "Lu Zhishen going to bury flowers".
Not to mention that she is 43 years old, and it is indeed not an exaggeration for the audience to use "meat dragon girl" to describe Gillian's image.
It's clearly a fat waistline, how can a "meat" outfit?
Compared with the male protagonist Li Mingxuan and the male supporting role, her physique is simply the image of a tough guy who debuted in the C position.
Catering to tastes or reluctant marketing?
For "Painted Skin: Love Extinguished", the first reaction of fans was to be divided into two poles.
On the one hand, there are positive voices that support Gillian's return to the screen and regain her career, and on the other hand, they laugh at the ridicule of "old goblins pretending to be tender" and "dragon girls dressed as flesh".
In fact, when the photo of "Painted Skin: Love Annihilation" was announced, compared with the embarrassment of being severely criticized for "pretending to be Daji" in the previous "Fengshen: Daji", Gillian's posture in the new work has become significantly slimmer.
But after all, no one wants to see a blessed Daji or a green snake, let alone the legendary noble and elegant dragon girl?
And the second half of the film gradually reveals that there is an ambiguous relationship between the heroine and the supporting role, and there are some "other" hints when the two are in the same frame.
For a while, fans speculated, did the production team want to use this to label Gillian as a "lesbian" on her back?
After all, Gillian and Huangfu Shenghua and other rich second generations in Beijing have been exposed to be suspected of falling in love, and the other party also has the nickname of "female version of Edison Chen".
However, some people think that the crew just wants to win attention and make the plot fresh and chic.
It's a pity that whether it's the speculation of this lesbian plot or Gillian's "traveling light" for eyeballs, the film's rating is really not high at present.
But the film's high opening data also illustrates the market orientation of the idea of the Internet University.
Previously, Gillian's "Fengshen: Daji" caused heated discussions among netizens because of her "meat suit" style, and as a result, not only did her reputation hit the streets, but it was also considered a new low in her acting career.
Many film critics believe that there is a reason why Gillian switched to the small screen.
In the past two years, Gillian's work scores have repeatedly hit new lows, and negative reviews are all over the place.
On the one hand, because the script is too bad, she herself has no choice, after all, Hong Kong Star's resources are really not good now;
On the other hand, Gillian herself is not self-motivated, she doesn't care about body management, and only when body management and appearance are at their peak can the audience really pay for it.
It can be seen that Gillian's "transformation" road has been doomed to be difficult from the beginning.
There are no bright spots, and there are many resistances
The reason why it is easy for Internet University to produce bad movies is that the audience has already known it.
Everyone really doesn't have much expectation for "Painted Skin: Love Extinguished" itself, what they really expect is Gillian herself.
used to be a beautiful woman in the sky, with a peerless appearance, but now she is fat like a walking bucket.
Really, please!
Don't keep hurting everyone's eyes.
With her current image, she is no longer suitable for the line of a good-looking girl, and it is time to wake up.
