There are some things that others can do, but if you do it, you will be stopped by others, so what does that mean? Let's say there must be some misunderstandings. It is as if Li Lizhi wants to shoot "The King of Comedy 2018", but was stopped by Zhou Xingchi, and judging from the current judgment and the announcement of the film, this time it is impossible to remake.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Li Lizhi has repeatedly remade Stephen Chow classics</h1>
Li Lizhi and Zhou Xingchi have been partners for many years, and the two have worked together for ten years, and they have made many popular masterpieces. But later the two people parted ways, and Zhou Xingchi was still a good work after leaving, while Li Lizhi was constantly remaking the classic works he had cooperated with Zhou Xingchi in the past.
(1) Li Li held the film "Beauty Eater".
Zhou Xingchi has a movie called "God Eater", the content is funny and funny, the plot is very nonsensical, but it mocks many unfair phenomena in reality, which resonates with the audience. Li Lizhi also filmed "Beauty Eater" in 2006 and broadcast it in 2007. Although the plot has changed greatly, and the changes in the character line and character image are not small, "Beauty Eater" has indeed absorbed several essences of "God Eater", and the two even have extremely similar endings. Although she was invited to star in She Shiman, Li Keqin, and Yuan Qiu, in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, "Beauty Eater" was a failure.
(2) Li Li held Liu Zhenwei to shoot "Yueguang Treasure Box".
Just by hearing this name, you know that this work is a remake of Stephen Chow's classic "Moonlight Treasure Box", and even "Yueguang Treasure Box" can be called a work of Stephen Chow's personal classic review, and even many famous scenes in "Kung Fu" appear in "Yueguang Treasure Box". In "YueGuang Treasure Box", there are a bunch of stars, even the vests running the dragon suit are band singers. But the work itself has no morals and has been ridiculed as a masterpiece of fried cold rice.
(3) Li Li held twice to shoot the "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang" series.
"Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang" is the most peak work of Zhou Xingchi's talent and nonsense, and even one audience member wrote such an online masterpiece as "Need for Excellence Ding" after watching "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", which shows how good "Tang Bo Hu Dian Qiu Xiang" really is. Li Lizhi also filmed "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang 2 Four Talents" and "Four Talents of Jiangnan" successively, and the main actor invited was also a big name, the former was Huang Xiaoming Zhou Libo, and the latter was Liu Kaiwei Chi Shuai. However, the rating is getting lower and lower, and it cannot be compared with the Stephen Chow version.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > why Li Li was not allowed to shoot this time</h1>
But in the past, Li Lizhi's remake, or even copied the classic plot of the past, Zhou Xingchi did not say anything, why did the filming of "The King of Comedy 2018" receive a lawyer letter from Zhou Xingchi's company? What are the unknown reasons for this? There are two main points.
(1) Zhou Xingchi also remade, and the two formed a competitive relationship.
When Li Lizhi filed "The King of Comedy 2018" in 2018, Stephen Chow's "King of Comedy" sister story "The King of New Comedy" was ready to be released in 2019. Therefore, the two are essentially forming a commercial competitive relationship. Coincidentally, the names of the two are very close, and they are both consuming the feelings of "The King of Comedy". According to the speed at which Li Li held the film, the film filed in 2018 can be filmed at the end of 2018 and then left for release in 2019. Then two movies related to "The King of Comedy" are released, and the audience will definitely have a diversion. At other times, Zhou Xingchi may allow Li Lizhi, Liu Zhenwei, Lin Zicong, and other friends who have partnered with him to remake his past works, but if you want to compete with him, it is certainly not allowed.
(2) Li Lizhi's remake is not a tribute to the classic, but a consumer sentiment to earn money.
In addition, the remakes of Li Lizhi, Liu Zhenwei, Wang Jing, Lin Zicong and others have not thought of surpassing the classics at all to a certain extent, but simply consuming the classic feelings to make money. In addition to the above-mentioned film works made by Li Lizhi, Wang Jinglin Zicong's remakes of "The Best Sesame Officer", "Sun Wukong Vs Pansi Cave", "Jigong's Dragon Has Regrets" and other works are deeply speechless, and they are all rotten to the limit. Perhaps for these works, the biggest contribution is that when the film starts and the crew starts, there will be many actors who run the dragon set to get employment opportunities, and they will not lose their jobs. But for the audience, this is completely consumed feelings and waste of money.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > the classic has been remade many times, and the feelings are no longer</h1> there
In fact, for many viewers, they don't care why Zhou Xingchi did not allow Li Li to shoot "The King of Comedy 2018" this time, nor did they care how different the "King of Comedy 2018" that Li Lizhi wanted to shoot was from "The King of Comedy" in all aspects of the plot. What the audience cares about is a good movie-watching experience. And many remakes of classic films, in fact, do not give the audience a good viewing experience, and even to a certain extent, let many viewers can not stand it. Here, Xiaobian also has two opinions to mention.
(1) Remake, but also pay attention to quality.
When many directors and filmmakers want to remake the classic, it is really necessary to pay attention to the quality of the film. Can't you always say that you can't surpass the classics, don't shoot with your heart, and then show the audience a shoddy work, right? The audience has not offended anyone, so why waste the audience's precious time with bad films?
(2) Respect for copyright owners.
In addition, I also hope that many filmmakers and directors can respect the copyright party more, and cannot always think of rubbing the heat of the copyright party and are not willing to pay the copyright fee. Sometimes others don't pursue it in terms of feelings, that is, others are benevolent and charitable, but when others really want to pursue, don't suddenly say "Why didn't you pursue it in the past".
The above is the whole content of this article, or I hope that every director will shoot a good scene and bring a good viewing experience to the audience!
