The legendary bad film that can compete with "Asura" has finally appeared.
Three days after the release of "Asura" that year, the reputation collapsed, becoming the first film to be withdrawn because it was too bad, making many friends who did not have time to go to the theater to watch sigh, this time, the opportunity finally came! If you want to see what the top cast makes a bad movie like, the ongoing "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" may satisfy you...
How high is Turandot: Origins of a Spell configured?
Director Zheng Xiaolong, who has previously created countless classics, "Beijingers in New York", "Golden Wedding", "The Biography of Zhen Huan", it is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is a Chinese audience, they have watched Zheng's TV series.
Screenwriter Wang Xiaoping, Zheng Xiaolong's wife, the two have been partners for many years and have a tacit understanding of cooperation.
As for the cast, it can arouse the expectations of fans.
Jiang Wen, whose performances have been reduced in recent years, has not had many opportunities to see him on the big screen.
Hu Jun, the representative of tough guy actors.
Sophie Marceau, the goddess of the hearts of fans around the world.
There is also the veteran French coach Vincent Perez, who used to be paired with Sophie Marceau in "Fangfang".
The heroine of the stars is Guan Xiaotong, who grew up watching the national audience, and the male protagonist is Dylan Spark, a newcomer actor from Italy.
One might ask, why are there foreign actors? Because, "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" is a Chinese-foreign co-production. As soon as you hear the title, you know that it has something to do with the famous opera "Turandot". Indeed, Puccini created an immortal masterpiece based on the fairy tale "The Three Mysteries of Durandot", and perhaps the success of this story on stage encouraged filmmakers, so they adapted it into a film. However, this adaptation can be said to be a complete failure, and like countless Chinese and foreign co-productions that have been thrown into the street before, it has become a "stitching monster" and "four unlikeness" that are not in the middle of the ocean.
Since the ancient bad film out of the divine evaluation, the Douban comment area of this movie has now completely fallen into the competitive stage of netizens competing in film criticism golden sentences, and a grand spit carnival is being held grandly, and everyone can go to watch ~ ~ ~
Some people say that Jiang Wen and Hu Jun are acting in court dramas, Dylan Sparks is acting in "Game of Thrones", Zou Zhaolong is acting in martial arts films, and Guan Xiaotong is showing off his talents.
Some people say, Zheng Xiaolong, that year the apricot blossoms rained slightly, and all the beauty brought to me by "The Biography of Zhen Huan" has now been paid off, and from then on, you and I do not owe each other.
Some people also say that Lu Han has "Shanghai Fortress", Guan Xiaotong has "Turandot", a masterpiece for one person, perhaps, this is also another way to show love?
At present, the douban score of the movie is 3.6, and the box office is also unbearable, just over 15 million yuan, indicating that our audience is also smart, and everyone is hanging on the head of the film.
In this movie, the Eastern Emperor, played by Jiang Wen, has nothing to do every day, dangling around in the harem, caring for the only heir, that is, the princess Turandot played by Guan Xiaotong. There is a scene in the film where he celebrates the birthday of the little princess and sends rare treasures from various countries, so that people can wear the scene of Shilang's birthday for Huan Huan in "The Biography of Zhen Huan".
The great general played by Hu Jun, the biggest villain in the whole film, the two words "bad guy" are vividly written on the face. Over there, Hu Jun just made the audience cry in "Chosin Lake", and here he dressed up as a villain and became a tool of bloodthirsty violence and full of intrigue and trickery.
And our much-anticipated Guan Gege, ah no, Princess Guan, painted with blue eyeshadow, big red lip makeup, wearing the fairy fluttering long skirt in the xianxia drama, shining on the stage.
Maybe it is because to reflect the magic of the princess's three-color bracelet, or this is a way for the actor to show the character of the character, Guan Xiaotong has an expression throughout the film: a high-cold iceberg face. It is not an exaggeration to say this, Yi Xuanjun carefully observed it, the corners of her mouth are not moved, if it is not the eyes are still blinking, the mouth is still saying lines, it looks like a static picture.
Not exaggerated at all, the expression has not changed at all, right?
The princess of the spell in the early stage is color blind + humanoid X-ray machine, the world seen is black and white gray, and the person who sees people passes through the skin muscles to the bones, and everyone in front of her is a walking skeleton ~ ~
The princess who has been cursed has nothing to do every day, and is in a bad mood like an undefeated oriental weave in the palace with a shuttle. Zheng Xiaolong also imitated Zhang Ziyi's water sleeve dance in "Ten Faces Ambush", and painted a gourd to Guan Xiaotong for a whole weaving dance, haha ~~
The contrast is tragic...
This raised a question for me, the princess finally told the male protagonist, she put the secret of fireworks, that is, gunpowder production technology, woven on the cloth, but she is obviously color blind, weaving the secret at least a little pattern or text, how does the princess identify the color of the line?
Well, it doesn't matter, what matters is the love of the princess. Although Guan Xiaotong and the foreign brother look completely out of the same dimension, the acting skills of the foreign brother and the princess are also half a pound and eight two, without any ups and downs, but the director just let them fall in love, do not believe please see the magic circle of their love in slow motion!
The power of love finally lifted the spell on the princess and wiped away her blue eyeshadow full of disobedience, but it changed her into a pink gauze dress from the wedding photography room and put on a multicolored garland for her...
The plot of the whole movie is actually a sentence: the prince with amnesia and the princess cursed by the tricolor bracelet fall in love, and the prince unveils the mystery to save the princess and retrieve his memory.
This is normal, after all, the origin of this story is a fairy tale legend, and most fairy tales are in this mode. Changing it to opera is not a big problem, one is that the music can support the whole play, and the other is that the stage allows enough drama. However, when it is changed to a movie, such a story is too old-fashioned and too thin.
I think the director and the screenwriter must have scratched their heads in this process, because the plot can't support the length of the film at all, so they can only rely on flashbacks and repetitions, flashbacks, crazy repetitions. The picture of the male protagonist's parents being killed when he was a child appeared again and again, and Sophie Marceau hit the soy sauce again and again.
Netizens said that this is the ugliest work of Sophie Marceau
The plot of the male protagonist answering three puzzles and helping the princess to solve the spell is also the same way to shoot three times, without change. Every time the princess reads the puzzle, the male protagonist's intermittent amnesia brain is suddenly stimulated, flashing back to the tragic image of the whole family being killed when he was a child, but the male protagonist answers the question timeout every time, is sent to the execution ground, and finally staged the knife to stay, the male protagonist shouted out the mystery at the last second, congratulations you answered correctly, entered the next round. Such.
What puzzle can make the whole world go unanswered for more than a decade? If you read the puzzle, you'll definitely show a black face of doubt like me.
Question 1: Of all things in the world, what is born in darkness and dies at dawn?
The second question: Women are beautiful because of it, men are restless because of it, women die together with men, it condenses into cold ice. (This title is like an advertising slogan)
Question Three: She can give you freedom, you light ice, and in return you more ice. (This title is like an English-to-Chinese excerpt)
How' about it, isn't it confusing?
And when you know the answers to these three questions, you may vomit blood. Because the answers are: Hope, Blood, Turandot.
Although the original fairy tales and operas are all so out of the question, but this is a movie, if you do not do some original adaptation and innovation, not only the effect will be greatly reduced, the overall credibility is gone.
When will Chinese and foreign filmmakers realize that it is really impossible to forcibly fabricate a mix-and-match film that combines East and West. "The Great Wall" and "Turandot" are all lessons from the past, even if there are more stars to join, no matter how top-notch the production is, because it is really deformed.
