"Hello everyone, I'm Huaiyue, and this is my first serious film review this year."
Text/Huaiyue
"When I can't feel love, I can't get away with it."
"What are you staring at me, am I a thorn in your eye?"
"I can't promise you to get married, I can't promise you love."
Can you imagine these earthy love words coming from the movie "First Incense"?
Some people say that going to see "The First Burning Incense" is like watching a two-hour pirated quotation from Zhang Ailing.
Taking the genuine version of Zhang Ailing's article into a pirated version of Zhang Ailing's quotations, "The First Burning Incense" is probably unprecedented.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" >01, bad reviews, film reviews are more exciting than the movie itself</h1>
From the beginning of casting, "The First Incense", which has been scolded on the hot search for nearly two years, did not turn over against the wind after the release.
On the first day of release, the box office was only 5.67 million, and the Douban score was only 5.6 points; in the same period, the movie was only comparable to "Turandot".
More than 20,000 comments were almost all questioning:
"This is not the first incense, this is Shoko the Camel, does Peng Yuyan and Qiao Qiqiao have even the slightest similarity?"
"Film critic commented: After watching 'The First Incense', I want to report the work injury."
"It's really a rare movie experience like sitting on a needle felt, like a thorn in the back... Ma Sichun was possessed by Shuangzi the whole time, and Peng Yuyan? Why would you want to play a mixed-race greasy soft rice aquaman? ”
Some people even complained:
"Ma Sichun has a sense of the heaviness of a ten-pound pot helmet, choking people."
"It's too fat, really... Every round arm, a strong double chin, and the greasy performance of the two were pounding my heart. ”
"Georgie Joe is of mixed race, not of mixed oil."
There are also spit directors and screenwriters:
"The sense of embarrassment, awkwardness and dissonance given by the whole film is condensed in the audience laughter caused by Fan Wei's oysters facing Ma Sichun."
"Wang Anyi's screenplay is soft and flat, and there is no cold and devious atmosphere of Zhang Ailing's novels."
No wonder netizens complained, Ma Sichun and Peng Yuyan's makeup looks like a pair of small couples who went to the city to work, relying on their diligent hands to finally get rid of poverty and become well-off in the countryside.
The confrontation between Peng Yuyan and Ma Sichun, Sheng Sheng turned the "first furnace incense" into "the first furnace steel".
Netizens even arranged the roles:
"Camel Xiangzi's first furnace steel, Peng Yuyan plays Xiangzi, Ma Sichun plays Tiger Girl, and Zhang Junning plays Xiao Fuzi." The casting is appropriate. The male actors are strong and the female actors are also strong. ”
The audience can't understand why Xu Anhua, with the strongest team, made "The First Furnace of Incense" into "The First Furnace of Steel" and staged a simple and unpretentious "Steel Love"?
In fact, from the very beginning of the casting, this movie is destined to have such a situation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="66" >02: Making the ceiling of the industry, casting is an absolute disaster</h1>
"The First Incense" has the strongest team of literary films:
Original Zhang Ailing, screenwriter Wang Anyi, photography Du Kefeng, costume and Tian Emi, music producer Ryuichi Sakamoto, everyone is the ceiling of the industry.
But when it comes to casting, it is an absolute disaster.
The male protagonist, Qiao Qiqiao, described him in the original book as "he is not bloody than Zhou Jijie, and even his lips are pale, just like plaster." ”
Peng Yuyan, who has wheat-colored skin and 8-pack abs, has nothing to do with the pale and gloomy mixed-race Georgie Joe.
Especially when wearing a small vest and exposing the strong tendon flesh on the arm, like a rickshaw driver, like a laborer carrying a large bag on the dock.
It's not like the chaotic wind and moon place, pale and fragile, gloomy and decadent.
The aunt played by Yu Feihong is an old and fading mother Sang in the original book, who needs to rely on her niece to help her catch men.
However, although Yu Feihong is "old", but not at all faded, still full of style, do not do superfluous things, as long as she goes to that station, there are countless middle-aged men who want to fall under her pomegranate skirt eagerly.
Peng Yuyan's greasy and Yu Feihong's excessive beauty, everyone can still accept, what can not be accepted is Ma Sichun.
Ge Weilong, played by Ma Sichun, is a petite socialite in the original work, and her appearance is described as:
"Her face is plain and beautiful little bulge, and now this type of 'puff face' is outdated.
Her eyes were long and beautiful, and the deep marks on her eyelids swept straight into her sideburns. Slender nose, small fat mouth. ”
Ma Sichun's stout appearance was completely inconsistent with the slender and weak Shanghai girl.
It's not that fat is not good, it's just that the actor's appearance is too far from the image required by the role, and this is where Ma Sichun is scolded: as an actor, she did not do her job: image management.
The characters are required to be thin, a little dedicated, and at least try to lose weight from the start.
When Deng Chao filmed "Shadow", in order to fit the changes in the characters in the film, he first gained weight rapidly from 72 kilograms to 83 kilograms, and then lost weight to 63 kilograms.
Even when Ma Sichun himself was once for Li Bar in "Left Ear", he could lose 15 pounds in 20 days, but ge Weilong seemed to give up on himself.
In a word: do not take the role seriously, do not pay attention to the work.
Xu Anhua's film heroine, large-scale literary and artistic films, Zhang Ailing's original blessing, such resources, how many entertainment industry Xiaohua want to get such a role, she easily became the protagonist, but so not seriously?
If you don't want to act, you can quit acting from the beginning. Since she took this job, she must go all out to do a good job, not to mention taking this high salary, not requiring her to do her best, at least to complete the basic requirements.
But Ma Sichun is even in appearance, unwilling to adapt to the role, let alone a breakthrough in acting?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="93" >03: The acting skills are pulled down, and there is no rescue in appearance deficiencies</h1>
If the actor's image is incompatible with the original work, and the acting skills can be pulled back, everyone can still accept it, but Ma Sichun's acting skills are too unstable.
Her performance makes you feel that she sometimes has acting skills, sometimes there is no acting skills, her acting skills are like clouds in the sky, and like the scumbags in the game world, it seems that you are caught in your hands, and it seems to float away quickly.
In the movie, Ma Sichun often does these two actions: bowing his head and shyly not daring to speak; twisting his eyes and looking confused.
Familiar?
"About Winter" and "Buckwheat Crazy" are also the feeling of hair flung, confused eyes, and overwhelmed.
Ma Sichun is really not suitable for literary and artistic films, and she really can't play the role of shyness, twisting, and the characters are too emotionally rich.
But I don't know if it is the sequelae of "July and Ansheng", after taking the film, Ma Sichun is bent on acting in such literary and artistic films.
It's like, she is bent on falling in love, to talk about love that everyone is not optimistic about.
The more the public won't let her do anything, the more she will do it, like a rebellious child.
Now think about it, which character ma Sichun left the most impression on you?
Can you remember? Or which role does she play that best suits the character image?
None of them seem to have.
Although Ma Sichun is bent on being a young woman in literature and art, and she also loves literature and art very much, she still wants to say a word:
Girl, what suits you is the best.
In life, you can be willful to be a female Wenqing. But when it comes to work, it is still serious to find a role that suits you.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="99" >04, the plot adaptation is outrageous, out of touch with the original and reality</h1>
The actor's image does not match, the acting skills are broken, this is not nothing, the most outrageous thing is that the plot of the movie is also completely deviated.
The original book tells the story of Ge Weilong, a pure female student, who is seduced by various material desires such as money and love in the world of paper drunk gold fans, and finally voluntarily degenerates.
But in the movie, Ma Sichun's Ge Weilong is a silly white sweet love brain, bent on marrying a scumbag, turning a tragedy into a youth pain literary film.
The theme of the story has changed completely, but if the adaptation is successful, it is not serious at all.
The 144-point film, but the logic is chaotic, the plot is scattered.
How did Ge Weilong suddenly fall in love with Ge Qiqiqiao, and how did he suddenly fall into depravity? What complex psychological changes did she go through that led her from innocence to self-depravity?
There is no such thing as any of these movies, there is no preparation for it, there is no point, and the protagonist suddenly laughs, suddenly gloomy, and suddenly sad and confused.
Why is that? The actor's acting skills are completely invisible.
In addition, the editor Wang Anyi may really dislike Zhang Ailing as she once said, and the character settings and story themes have been changed to messy, and the earthy lines in the film are uncomfortable.
When Ge Weilong and Qiao Qiqiao met, Ge Weilong shyly did not dare to look at each other and said:
This network is full of earthy love words, and the greasy level is disgusting.
Zhang Ailing listened to it and vomited blood, obviously the original writing of the family was: "Do you look at me unpleasantly?" How do you treat me like a thorn in my eye? ”
There are also crap conversations like "I'm your man" and "I'm your woman."
The final ending is even more outrageous, and the last dialogue is that Ge Weilong asks Georgie Qiao: "You give me a gift, tell a lie." "You don't lie, I'll tell."
Then, Ge Weilong stuck his head out of the car and shouted, "I love you." ”
Such a line dialogue, such an ending, always makes people feel like watching a youth pain movie.
It can be said that this "First Incense" became "First Incense Oil", the screenwriter had to carry a large pot, and the lines were too awkward.
Full of dog blood harmonic terriers and earthy love quotes, I feel that the next six months of emotional bloggers have a golden sentence.
Netizens complained: Like listening to two hours of pirated Zhang Ailing quotes.
The only satisfaction of this film is that the costume music photography art is quite superior, creating a luxurious and decadent feeling in Zhang Ailing's pen, but the rest is difficult to say.
