On October 17, 2021, in the name of feelings, iQiyi released a movie with the same name as the 2000 TV series "Eight Precepts of Spring Brilliant Pigs".
However, the crew's mind is not only to repeat the name, the shell, but also to invite Tao Hong, who played the little dragon girl in the TV series version, and weng Hong, the cat demon of the Nine Lives, Li Liqun, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and Han Zhenhua, the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion, Lao Zhong.
Despite the crew's efforts to restore in the lineup, trying to awaken the audience's memories of that year. But the old rice is newly fried, the more fried the paste, still can't escape the fate of the sequel or the remake of Easy To Flutter Street.
Not surprisingly, in addition to the addition of some original actors, the male and female protagonists of the movie version of "Spring Brilliant Pig Eight Commandments" have replaced the newcomer actors, telling the story of the Eight Precepts of the Pig and the Little Dragon Girl, but the content has been "innovative", becoming the fantasy love story of the Eight Commandments of the Pig and the Little Dragon Girl who met and knew each other in the adventure journey, and finally worked together to defeat the cat demon and protect the people of Chunshui Town.
Will the audience pay for this innovation based on so-called feelings? Of course not.
No matter how the feelings are set, the foothold of a work must be the quality of the work, which includes plot, acting, production and other aspects.
If you want to talk about emotional arousal, zhejiang satellite TV variety show "Ace to Ace" is already a player who is familiar with it?
The TV drama version of "Spring Brilliant Pig Eight Commandments" can be regarded as an innovation in the theme of TV dramas in that era, seemingly nonsensical magic to change the characters in "Journey to the West", but under the funny shell is the core of tragedy. The reason why it can become a classic is because the audience who was watching it at the time when it was a novel comedy, grew up to find it a tragedy.
This work, which scored 7.8 points in Douban, has become the childhood memory of countless people. Although in the past so many years, the mention of this name has always been faintly sentimental, and the love between Xiaolongnü and Brother Pig makes people sigh, but the love between Xu Zheng and Tao Hong outside the play seems to make up for the sadness in the story.
The drama version of the work carries a lot of complicated feelings of the audience.
And the latest version of "Eight Precepts of the Splendid Spring Pig", as soon as it appears, it is known that it is the product of showing off feelings.
Starring newcomer actors Xu Zili and Yang Qiru as Pig Eight Commandments and Xiaolongnü, two young and fresh faces, at first glance lack a sense of CP, especially when Zhu Yu is in front, they are very disadvantaged.
And funny comedy doesn't mean there's no need for acting.
Xu Zheng had already starred in the drama "The Color of Stocks" and won the Best Actor of the 10th Magnolia Drama Awards; and Tao Hong also won the Best Actress Award at the 10th Damascus International Film Festival, the Best Actress Award at the 4th China Film Huabiao Awards, and the Best Actress Award at the 18th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Film for her film "Black Eyes".
Not to mention that a number of excellent supporting actors Such as Sun Xing, Jin Qiaoqiao, Li Liqun, Chen Hong, etc., are all senior actors in the show business circle.
Under such an excellent creative class, the mythical world they created is convincing.
In contrast, the movie version of "Eight Precepts of the Brilliant Spring Pig", accurately called should be a big online movie, which gives people a feeling of taking classic works to fry old rice in order to make quick money.
They try to innovate in content, but they can't hide the fact that the production team is not up to par.
Douban reviews are very real, five stars or give feelings, the rest are almost all one-star, two-star, are spitting out the original renma starring just for the movie gimmick, the real sale is still a newcomer actor and a newcomer story.
This type of remake does not help the actors at all, and the biggest beneficiary is probably only the drama side.
Network movies, a type of film and television works that rely on the platform to survive, the click rate is the revenue. They don't need word of mouth at all, as long as someone clicks in, they are making money.
Earning a wave of attention through the audience's feelings is something that many internet giants often do.
"Ancient Sword Qitan" is on fire, there will be a variety of series of "Ancient Sword Qitan" network, all new actors; "Flower Thousand Bones" is on fire, and immediately "Flower Thousand Bones" is another series.
Even the "Chen Qing Ling" that was popular in the summer of that year, after the end of the network drama, the drama side took advantage of the hot iron to hit the iron "The Soul of Chen Qing Ling" and "The Chaos of Chen Qing Ling" two network big.
It is true that the original centaur starred, but the two leading actors of the fire must not be among them, and the rest is the story of some supporting roles, which is still emotional consumption.
However, it is obvious that the audience does not buy it, and the 4.8 points of "The Soul of Chen Qingling" and the 5.3 points of "The Chaos of Chen Qingling" are far from the 7.7 points of "Chen Qingling".
The derivatives made by the drama side to take advantage of the heat have not been able to sell the feelings well, let alone the quality of the works that have been remade for several years or even decades!
In the era of traffic, the crew only wants to earn clicks on the shell, and there is no sense of responsibility for the work at all. Fortunately, the audience has also learned well, and immediately ran when they saw the name network, but there are still many viewers who will be tricked into contributing click-through rates.
China's huge movie-watching market is the guarantee that the network can earn a lot of money.
There are fewer and fewer masterpieces, and the industrialized production process is only a reproduction of bad dramas, so that the fire that was once lit in the net is extinguished again.
The reason why the university has become synonymous with inferior products is because most of the works are indiscriminate, and there are only a few excellent works. Original masterpieces such as "Yellow Spring of soul ferry", the audience is still happy to accept and support, I hope that the network university will also begin to roll it!
