Hello everyone, watch movies together every day, I am a stupid bear who likes to watch movies.
Although the relationship between China and South Korea has not been very good, but because of the strength of Korean films, there have been many high-scoring masterpieces, because the country that belongs to the same Asian culture has not remade Korean movies, such as "Big Man" adapted the Korean classic movie "Veteran", Aaron Kwok's "Breaking the Game" is South Korea's "To the End", but the remakes are overturned...
But it's not just our adaptation of South Korea, Koreans will also remake some high-scoring domestic movies.
The movie "Hostage" recently released in South Korea is a remake of the 2015 domestic movie "Rescue Mr. Wu". "Rescue Mr. Wu" is based on real events, the film is directed by Ding Sheng, and starring Andy Lau, Liu Ye, Wang Qianyuan and so on. It tells that a big star is suddenly kidnapped, the star can only constantly negotiate with the kidnappers, buying time to wait for rescue, the police also fight with the kidnapper leader, and must solve the case in a limited time to save people.
Although the director of "Hostage" Bi Gancheng is a newcomer, the lead actor Huang Zhengmin is not ordinary, he is a first-line superstar movie emperor in South Korea, and his status in South Korea is equivalent to the domestic Andy Lau and Gu Tianle artists of this level.
The Korean version and the national version of the story are generally the same framework, but the Korean version increases the male protagonist's combat effectiveness and the cruelty of the kidnappers, while reducing the presence or IQ of the J-side. The Chinese version of Andy Lau was basically tied up in the room the whole time, while the Korean version of Huang Zhengmin (who played himself in the film) not only escaped from the prison room, but also fought with several kidnappers, and personally stabbed the main criminal...
In the film, Huang Zhengmin is not only injured but also lame on one leg, but he can turn over the kidnappers with sound limbs, and it feels that Huang Zhengmin is not an actor but a saint fighter, and the more he beats, the more he can beat. Therefore, it has been complained about by many Korean film fans, destroying the realism of the film, which is too cheesy.
The story of the film is indeed very Hollywood, I feel that South Korea has been looking for the Us emperor as a father for a long time, and the movie has followed the father.
Some Korean fans who have seen the domestic Andy Lau version feel that Andy Lau's version is wonderful, the sense of reality is strong, and the whole film is tightly paced and fascinating. Many Korean netizens also noticed Wang Qianyuan, who played the villain, and Wang Qianyuan's eating dumplings revealed his evil acting skills to amaze them.
In other words, the scene where Wang Qianyuan eats dumplings, the playful and rampant expression that makes people feel the perverted psychology of the kidnappers, is a highlight of the whole film, and the degree of dissemination even overshadows the protagonist Andy Lau. There are similar shots in the Korean version, but the dumplings are replaced with Korean fried sauce noodles, which have no taste at all, and it feels like the villain is really hungry and orders a takeaway, which feels like going to the J bureau to rub rice.
Therefore, Korean film fans only gave "Hostage" a 7 points, and film critics only gave a passing 6 points. And Andy Lau's "Rescue Mr. Wu" Korean fans gave 7.8 points, you know this movie is not released in South Korea! (So there are no critic ratings).
"Hostage" is really good in terms of appearance, there is a very real drag racing scene in it, there are exciting fights. Compared with "Rescue Mr. Wu", which basically did not shoot a few shots, a few hot shots are still imaginary shots of character deception.
Unfortunately, it is precisely because of the shots of these commercial elements that the film enters the Hollywood male protagonist is the god of war mode, thus destroying the realism of the film, making people feel contrary, emphasizing the truth while engaging in exaggerated personal heroes. Although the domestic version of the scene is not hot, the whole process is very stable, and the tense atmosphere makes the audience feel immersed.
"Hostage" is basically supported by Huang Zhengmin's personal charm and acting skills, in the film he dodged the kidnappers in the woods after the scene, the original strong Huang Zhengmin collapsed in the woods to lose his voice and cry, the emotional change makes people feel empathy when they look at it.
Although this Korean remake has turned over, but in the international Korean film popularity can be higher than domestic films, the current Korean film is very much like the Hong Kong film of the year, dare to shoot dare to say, there are such high-scoring works as "Iron Rain", "Melting Pot", "Busan Trip" and so on, so Korean movies have a large number of fans in North American countries.
Domestic movies, it is difficult to say a word, if it were not for the fact that watching movies for money, a bunch of movies may be ended up with Ultraman, just like Jia Zhangke said, "Movies can't be so engaged." But it was just, and it was repeatedly...
Finally Stupid Bear asked everyone a question; do you usually watch Korean movies?
