Since yesterday, director Liu Guanwei's new drama "Mr. One Eyebrow" has become a hot topic on the Internet, for this movie we do not have much to discuss, just want to give a conclusion: "Mr. One Eyebrow" is just a cosplay circle money drama!
Why give such an evaluation without mercy? This should start with director Liu Guanwei and the Hong Kong zombie movie he officially founded.
In 1985, the movie "Mr. Zombie" turned out to be a golden age of "zombie theme" movies for at least ten years, and now when it comes to "Mr. Zombie", everyone remembers more of Lin Zhengying's ninth uncle, Qian Xiaohao's skills, literary talent, the funny of squad leader Lou Nanguang, the infatuation of the ghost queen Wang Xiaofeng and so on.
But at that time, these people's contributions to "Mr. Zombie" were not as good as director Liu Guanwei, and even Hong Jinbao, who did not appear in the film, could not compare.
Liu Guanwei made the movie "Mr. Zombie" that year, he took his future as a bet, because the Hong Kong films at that time were all immersed in kung fu films, and kung fu films just encountered a bottleneck, and the audience's aesthetic fatigue had begun to tire, Liu Guanwei looked at such a time, and then decided to shoot "Mr. Zombie".
The reason why Liu Guanwei chose the "zombie theme" shooting is because his uncle is a Taoist, Liu Guanwei has heard a lot of such stories since he was a child, and later he found the writer of the spiritual novel at that time, Huang Ying, and others, and through the collection and screening of various sources, he wrote the script of "Mr. Zombie".
After the official start of filming of "Mr. Zombie", and because of Liu Guanwei's attitude of excellence, the film was not half filmed, and the cost was all used up, in a hurry, Liu Guanwei went to Hong Jinbao to help, Hong Jinbao looked for Jiahe Company, and finally the two parties supported Liu Guanwei to continue to shoot "Mr. Zombie" in the case of an estimated loss of 4 million.
What was the concept of 4 million in 1985? I don't know if I'm good at math, I just know that Liu Guanwei said at that time that "Mr. Zombie" was probably his last movie, and his directing career was coming to an end, but even under such huge pressure, Liu Guanwei still conscientiously made "Mr. Zombie" a sensation in the film world.
Such a director, Liu Guanwei wants people not to admire, but 36 years later, Liu Guanwei used a web drama "Mr. One Eyebrow" that even the title of the film is Rubbing Lin Zhengying's "One Eyebrow DaoRen", and completely smashed his own signboard.
"Mr. One Eyebrow" has many problems, not to mention the plot of the nonsense, as well as the suspicion of imitating the old Hong Kong film "Chasing ghosts and seven heroes", first in the choice of actors, the use of an actor who looks exactly like Lin Zhengying, to many audiences who like Lin Zhengying, solid to buy a feeling.
But what's the use of you looking like? Lin Zhengying's great success in the "zombie theme" movie is not because of his looks, but because of his skills, Lin Zhengying was already Bruce Lee's martial arts instructor when he was 17 years old, he was only 33 years old when he starred in "Mr. Zombie", but the image of the decent Taoist leader is very decent, thanks to his years of roots, rather than the pretense of the one in "Mr. One Eyebrow".
As for Qian Xiaohao, he is not the first time to "eat the old book", in the past few years he has successively filmed "Mr. Supreme", "Mr. Four Eyes", "Spiritual Master", etc., this year there is also a "Maoshan" also released, we do not despise eating old Ben, after all, that is also his achievement, but excessive consumption is bound to be disgusting.
I don't know how many viewers found that this year's Liu Guanwei's "Mr. One Eyebrow", there is also the squad leader Lou Nanguang appeared, if in the movie "Zombie: Seven Days Reborn", it is a nostalgia for the past, this time it is really just to consume feelings and consume feelings.
There is also the newly joined Xu Shaoqiang, Xu Shaoqiang with the deeply rooted domineering villain image, in recent years has been in a variety of network movies in the scene, this time he joined "Mr. One Eyebrow", but brought the taste of Hong Kong films back to the pot, it is a surprise.
In fact, "Mr. One Eyebrow" is not the first time That Liu Guanwei has filmed "zombie themes" to eat the old book, and the "Mr. Four Eyes" in 2019 is still filmed by him, but like this time, he rubbed "One Eyebrow Daoist", and even found an actor who looks exactly like Lin Zhengying, as well as Lin Zhengying's apprentice friends, to shoot feelings in the form of cosplay, then we can only say: Liu Guanwei smashed the signboard, "Mr. One Eyebrow" is just a cosplay circle money drama.
