I haven't complained about the movie for a long time, but the recently released domestic fantasy film is really "fantastic" to make people stunned.
Turandot: The Origin of the Spell.
At first glance, the title of this film seems to be very powerful, according to the official introduction, the creative spirit of the film story inspired by one of the world's top ten operas "Turandot", telling the story of the imperial chaos caused by the incarnation of the spell.
As a result, a Chinese story imagined by Westerners was made into a Chinese film with magical elements, and the heroine was "Turandot" played by Guan Xiaotong.
As a result, after the release of this movie, it was considered to be not in the west, not in the west, not in the same category, the audience one star bad review brush screen, Douban open score of only 3.9, and then then dropped to 3.8 points!
Three days after its release, the box office of just over 10 million has fallen off a cliff, and the schedule has plummeted, not only the audience does not recognize, but also the film market is disliked.
The audience did not show mercy to "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" this time, and some people ridiculed "the audience who missed "Asura" and "Shanghai Fortress" should not miss this film anymore", and ridiculed Guan Xiaotong and boyfriend Lu Han have "masterpieces".
Some people who have seen it said that the film "can't understand but was greatly shocked", and can't help but think of the promotional slogan of Lu Han's starring role in "Shanghai Fortress" "shocking release", and sure enough, "there is no most shocking, only more shocking".
If you only see that the female protagonist is Guan Xiaotong, who is like a studio in the film, and the male protagonist is a foreign face, Dylan Sparks, such a score is not surprising.
However, when I saw that the director was Zheng Xiaolong, who made "Longing", "The Story of the Editorial Department", "Beijingers in New York", "Golden Wedding", "The Biography of Zhen Huan", "The Biography of Mi Yue", and the screenwriter was also Wang Xiaoping who wrote "The Biography of Zhen Huan" and "Gua Sha", the actors included a number of powerful superstars Jiang Wen, Sophie Marceau, Vincent Perez, Hu Jun and others, I really couldn't believe my eyes!
Zheng Xiaolong's position in the domestic television field naturally needs no more words, a bunch of heavyweight masterpieces are placed there, and the recently popular high-scoring TV series "Meritorious Service" also has his participation.
He is already an old predecessor, this time boldly shot such a pure domestic fantasy film, the original intention is to explore and innovate, into the field of film and television industrialization, it is still very admirable, and for this film, gathered a number of film industrialization professionals.
Zheng Xiaolong definitely wanted to make "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell", but the result was cruel. Therefore, some viewers sighed: "When I saw that the director was Zheng Xiaolong, my shock was no less than seeing Jiang Wen's style!" ”
Even if you put words such as "friendship performance" and "special performance" in front of the names of several superstars, the audience does not buy it, but it is difficult to dispel everyone's disbelief: Why? What's wrong?
Jiang Wen, who played the "Big Khan" in the film, this double ponytail + a handful of Qi bangs has become the focus of hot discussion, and everyone has cared about his impressive style, resulting in "Jiang Wen's double ponytail style" being quickly on the hot search.
苏菲·玛索，资深法国女神，在片中演小国王后的她如今还是那么美，但她的美丽不足以让观众平息对这部电影的无语，有观众调侃说“如果你那啥了，就眨眨眼”。
文森特·佩雷斯，和苏菲·玛索当年一起演过《芳芳》的法国男星，演过《玛戈皇后》《大鼻子情圣》，后来还当导演拍出入围柏林电影节的《柏林孤影》，出演小国国王的他和苏菲·玛索再次搭档，有话题度，却并没有提升这部电影的质量。
A tough guy like Hu Jun, this time playing the villain general, the shape in the film is rarely complained about, but this does not help the movie much.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wen and Hu Jun are Zheng Xiaolong's old friends and old partners, "Beijingers in New York" is the amazing work of Zheng Xiaolong and Jiang Wen's cooperation that year, Hu Jun has performed Zheng Xiaolong's "Golden Wedding Storm", this time they both starred, behind which are friendships.
Sophie Marceau read the English script, took over the film, and hung Wea for the first time.
However, their appearance did not add icing on the cake, this pot should not be their back, the audience have sighed, blind such a director and actor, and one of the failures of the film is the heroine Guan Xiaotong, who plays "Turandot".
In the film, this Turandot princess, from the beginning of the makeup, makes people quite speechless: blue-green eyeshadow, dark purple lipstick, and sure enough, it is written on the face of the "under the spell".
Although director Zheng Xiaolong is very optimistic about her, Zheng Xiaolong's related interview said that "Guan Xiaotong was selected from more than 9,000 people", and also said that "we hope that Turandot's actors are actors who can act and are very experienced, because this role is cold inside, but at the same time very eager to release, there will be a huge change before and after." We expected a stranger face, but after combining performance experience, investment, market and other considerations, we still think that Guan Xiaotong is the most suitable candidate. ”
However, the result is that the movie did not meet Zheng Xiaolong's expectations, and the audience did not buy it at all, but complained even more, and some netizens ridiculed the "list of 9,000 people to take out and see".
The most fundamental problem is that the audience generally believes that Guan Xiaotong's performance cannot support such a so-called international large-scale cinema film.
Guan Xiaotong is a domestic actress who has developed well from child star to the present, and her appearance conditions are also excellent, and her appearance and height are good, but she is mainly active in the field of television dramas and variety shows.
She played more daughter roles in her teenage years, more recognized, and began to play the heroine in some TV series after adulthood, but there was not much progress, and she has not yet broken through herself, lacking a representative work that proves her acting skills.
Although Guan Xiaotong has also acted in some large-scale films with good reputation, including Zhang Yimou's "Shadow" and Liu Weiqiang's "Captain China", they are only supporting roles with few roles.
Over the years, compared with his own works, Guan Xiaotong is most famous for the identity of Lu Han's girlfriend, and because of these related frequent hot searches. Therefore, in Guan Xiaotong's body, the identity label of the star is far greater than the label of the actor.
But it is that Guan Xiaotong, who has not proven her acting skills in the film field, was selected to become the heroine of a movie with a superstar gathering (to give her a supporting role), which is really incredible.
Who would have thought that the heroine would become the biggest violation in a movie.
Not to mention Guan Xiaotong's heavy photo-style makeup, even the performance can not be integrated, always overflowing with a sense of variety. No wonder some netizens commented: "Jiang Wenhujun is playing a court drama, Dylan Sparks is playing "Game of Thrones", Zou Zhaolong is playing a martial arts film, Sophie Marceau and Vincent Perez are acting in "Days on the Clouds", and Guan Xiaotong is showing talent in "Ace to Ace".
Of course, the problem of the film is not all in the actors, and the story itself, which is ridiculed as a "colorblind princess of the East falls in love with the prince of Western amnesia", also leads to the overall loss of control of the film.
Regarding the movie Turandot: The Origin of the Spell, the only suspense now is probably:
Ratings, will it be lower?
