There is no doubt that the biggest winner of this year's National Day file is "Chosin Lake", and the box office of 5.36 billion yuan so far is less than less than 100 million yuan less than "Hello, Li Huanying", which is the second largest box office in the movie box office list.
At the same time, the third film in the "Me and My" series of films, "My Father and Me", was fixed at the box office of 1.4 billion, although there was a gap of 3.1 billion yuan for "My Motherland and Me" and 2.8 billion for "My Hometown and Me", but it was an excellent result compared to other films.
But the immortals fought mortals, and the film of the same name, which was remade from the classic Japanese comedy," only grossed more than 60 million at the box office.
Compared with the other two films that are often 30% and 50%, "Five Splashing Youths" only had 6% of the scheduling volume at the highest, which is the result of director Song Haolin's publicity everywhere.
So far, "Five Splashing Youths" has a rating of 7.4 on Douban, which is consistent with "Chosin Lake". Whether this movie was affected by the box office by the schedule, or the quality of the content is really not prominent enough, we can clearly see the difference between the two when comparing it with the Japanese version.
Whether it is the Japanese version or the Chinese version, the story line of "Five Splashing Youths" is roughly similar.
In the middle school campus, five boys accidentally joined the boys' synchronized swimming team formed by the school, and although there were all kinds of confusion and wanted to give up, they finally made their best efforts for the upcoming performance.
In terms of overall style, there is a clear difference between the Chinese version and the Japanese version.
The Japanese version is biased towards youth and funny, so a large number of related plots are set at the beginning of the movie.
The swimming department of Kono Gakuin consisted of only one rookie student, Suzuki, but with the addition of female coach Kei Sakuma, it attracted boys from various clubs.
Later, it was learned that Sakuma was teaching synchronized swimming, which made most people retreat, leaving only five people, including Tomomo Suzuki and Katsumasa Sato.
Whether it is Suzuki who won the last place in the competition but mistakenly thought that he was the first, or the early otome saint in the group of five, Sato Katsumasa, or the female coach who quit pregnant, they all deliberately moved the atmosphere closer to humor and funny.
Even if there are a lot of uncles dressed as men and women in the back, and the plot of finding unreliable coaches to learn to swim, they basically serve this purpose.
In addition, the Japanese version deliberately adds the ignorance of adolescent love to it, naturally explains the time conflict of the boys' school girls' school to hold the school celebration, and also provides a reasonable opportunity for the contact between Suzuki Tomo and Muneko Kinuchi, and finally transforms the previous time contradiction into a solution that the boys' school pool cannot be used due to fire, providing a reasonable and well-founded preparation for the replacement of the venue.
The beginning of the middle edition emphasizes the different personalities of the five boys.
Prince, with a cute personality and familiarity; Chen Minghan, a legendary scholar, won various firsts; Gao Fei, an outstanding sports student, refused to participate in all sports clubs; Qu Xiaodong, who was active by nature and had no heart and lungs; Captain Zhang Wei, with an ordinary name, ordinary grades, and an ordinary personality.
In the follow-up plot, the film also deliberately strengthens their respective personalities, such as Gao Fei winning the captain of the swimming team, Zhang Wei is always decent and not prominent enough, and Chen Minghan provides theoretical support for rehearsals...
Compared with the Japanese version, this is a relatively good adaptation, but for a film of only 110 minutes, it is not easy to shape the characteristics of 5 people in a limited time.
Therefore, after watching it, I will only have an impression of Gao Fei's sports ability and Zhang Wei's mediocrity, and the characteristics of several other people will basically be buried.
In terms of the personnel of the aquarium instructor, the chinese version has been optimized.
In the Japanese version, the instructor is just a dolphin trainer and does not know how to swim in a figure. But the five teenagers worked in the aquarium for a few days, and played games in the game hall for half a day, and suddenly learned without a teacher, and even trained other new students later, which is a particularly bizarre part of the whole movie.
In the Chinese version, the coach used to manage logistics and food in the professional swimming team, even if there is no professional technology, but also learned some training skills. So his training of the five boys is more professional. Coupled with the fact that the synchronized swimming team in the back province has specially sent coaches, this provides a reasonable explanation for the success of the five little whites.
The Chinese version of "Five Splashing Youths" can be said to be far better than the Japanese version in its portrayal of growth and setbacks.
For example, in the process of training, Zhang Wei has never been able to complete a backflip action. Although I tried it over and over again and practiced with a trampoline behind my back, it still had no effect. This is very different from the setting in other movies where you will get results immediately if you make an effort.
Seeing that Zhang Wei's qualifications were so mediocre, the coach couldn't help but scold him for "you are the worst of the five people."
Of course, the movie can't always let the protagonist succeed, so there is no growth, and it is not in line with the reality. So after continuous efforts, Zhang Wei finally completed the backflip action, which also became the jump at the end of the movie.
The end of the Chinese version, as the original part, is actually very sloppy.
In the Japanese version, the original plan was to hold a performance at the Gakuen Festival, and the men's synchronized swimming of Tomoyuki Suzuki and others became the most anticipated show in the surrounding area due to its popularity on the Internet.
The night before the festival, several students caused a fire by setting off fireworks, and firefighters drained the water from the pool to extinguish the fire, which in turn put suzuki and others in trouble.
However, the girls' school held the Gakuen Festival on the same day, so the girls' school invited Suzuki and others to use their swimming pools to perform (they could collect tickets to earn money). In the end, there was a happy ending.
The Chinese version also caused an accident - due to the organizers' plans to compress the time, the men's synchronized swimming that was scheduled to be the opening performance on the day of the competition was cancelled.
In the end, Zhang Wei and others ignored it, waited for the competition to finish the award, and immediately rushed into the venue to perform. Although the ending is also a good ending, it is too perfunctory in the plot setting.
Generally in the movie, it will create all kinds of conflicts and problems for the protagonists, because the audience does not like to see the protagonist go smoothly, that is too bland.
The Chinese version of "Five Splashing Youths" not only wants to learn from the Japanese version of this conflict plot, but also does not have the heart to create a story, only using a temporary plan to create a change, but let this ending become the failure of the entire movie.
In addition, under the conditions of domestic film review, the Chinese version of "Five Splashing Youths" deliberately strengthens growth and deliberately simplifies the crush of adolescence.
Even if Zhang Wei has a crush on Chen Minghan's sister for a long time, the movie only mentions it and does not dare to say more. After all, on the topic of early love, the film needs to have the right orientation. Although this meets the censorship conditions, it makes the whole movie lack of plot.
Overall, the Chinese version of "Five Splashing Youths" is an inspirational movie, but it is not young enough.
