Bao Bell doubled the remake again.
Since the 2019 remake of "Big" People" from a Korean movie went viral, Bao Bell, who has been criticized for a long time, has been praised for the first time, and Bao Bell has gone further and further down the road of remake.
Like a life-saving straw on the verge of death, Bao Bell thought he had found a way to break the curse, and he went crazy and reproduced the action of "remake" until it became a muscle memory, and even the audience was not surprised by it.
However, it is a pity that the subsequent works Bao Bell did not copy the success of "Big" People, but almost a foot a pit steady, while handing the audience a vomiting feast, but also unscrupulously pressing one classic work after another on the ground and rubbing repeatedly -
"My Robot Girlfriend" original 7.5 points.
He shot it, 3.6 points.
The original version of "Sunshine Sisters Tao" has a score of 8.8.
He shot it, 4.5 points.
Even the old film "Big Red Packet", which was renovated at the beginning of the year, was also under his blessing.
From 6.5 points just passed the line plummeted to 4.7 points.
The so-called "Big" People, which was previously successfully remade, has just passed the passing line.
The original version had a score of 7.7.
After reading Bao Bell's work column, I suddenly found that on the intensity of the "remake" action, domestic stars really have nothing to compare with Bao Bell.
From starring in "Big" People to directing "Sunshine Sister Tao", to remaking his own "Big Red Packet", Bao Bell has become a film foundry, randomly drawing a lucky person from the ready-made script library for 1:1 reproduction.
Either ruin the classics, or disgust the audience, anyway, the money is in the pocket.
This is not, just sent away South Korea's "Sunshine Sister Tao", Bao Bell pen worked tirelessly, once again put his eyes back on Huang Zhengmin, a small hand, and found a classic -
"When a Man Is in Love"
Man in love
Let's talk about the original.
"When Men Are in Love" is a love movie released in 2014, starring Huang Zhengmin and Han Huizhen.
The story is about a debt collector who only speculates, meets the borrower's daughter at some point, and then falls hopelessly in love with her.
Under the fierce courtship offensive and the pursuit of the dead face, the girl silently accepted the little, the two marginal people in society snuggled up to each other inspired by love, the girl wanted to get married, the man wanted to retire, and both looked forward to an ordinary and beautiful life.
Suddenly, one day, the man was found to have a tumor in the brain, and at the same time, the two people's life savings were also cheated out.
Men were sentenced for clashing with each other, and girls spent two years alone under a sudden disconnection.
After two years in prison, the man was released by humanity due to the aggravation of his illness, and in the remaining 3 months, how could he make up for the girl, and the family who had been silently supporting him behind him....
The film is very famous, and when it was released that year, it set a record of 1.75 million viewers in 19 days in South Korea.
And in the country is still the heat is not reduced, after watching the film netizens have been impressed by Huang Zhengmin's performance, played a high score evaluation, accumulated to now that the past 7 years, more than 50,000 people participated in the evaluation, the total score is stable at 7.9 points, only one foot away from the "8 points" column.
Of course, a score of 7.9 is definitely a good thing.
Listening to this title, many readers may feel familiar, in fact, Bao Bell is not the first person to remake this film.
In the summer that just ended, the remake of the same name produced by Taiwan Province was released in theaters, starring Qiu Ze and Xu Weining, and it is only 5 months apart.
It is worth mentioning that although it is a remake, Qiu Ze's version has also achieved great results.
In Taiwan Province, it exceeded 100 million box office in 9 days, and the follow-up was temporarily ranked as the annual champion with a box office of NT$400 million, and there were also 200 million good results after the mainland was launched in June.
And the word of mouth is also good, pearl jade in the front also has 6.4 points,
In addition, this script also has a Mizuki drama version starring Song Chengxian, and the Internet celebrity "Wudaokou Hongnan" has also remade a paragraph about this film.
Counting, Bao Bell is already the fourth edition.
Unfortunately, compared with the flower clusters of Qiu Ze's previous remake, Bao Bell's version is much more deserted.
First of all, this film is not a theatrical movie, but a complete network movie, produced by Kiwi Station, which belongs to its test of involving PVOD (high-end pay-per-view model).
Therefore, although this film is a webcast, it is not free, and the on-demand price is divided into 6 yuan (members) and 12 yuan (non-members).
Although the ticket price is far less than that of the cinema, this form has not given Bao Bell a good reputation, and the film still has not escaped Bao Bell's "bad film universe", which caused a spit once it was launched.
Casually open the comment screen is a one-two-star bad review.
Thankfully, at least money is earned than being scolded.
Although the word of mouth is not good, the movie has been promoted by the platform since it was launched, and it has always maintained the first recommended position, and it is also ranked first on the popularity list.
It is a pity that the authenticity of this kind of data cannot be identified at all, and it is impossible to verify which is true and which is false.
After all, such a "popularity champion" movie, in Douban, has exceeded 4 days and still has not yet settled the total score because the number of participants in the review is too small.
Whether this number is more or less is very learned.
As mentioned above, "car accident, cancer, and incurable", this script is actually a very typical Korean dog blood bittersweet story, and the main line of the movie is more like a male subjective self-touching: the male protagonist is stalking the female protagonist, and it is also a parasitic existence at home.
This kind of person is full of devastation, if put in the present, there is a great chance that it will be impacted by feminism.
In fact, the previous Version of Qiu Ze has led to a decline in word-of-mouth because of the script, and many people do not understand the actions of the male protagonist.
The core of the script is the characterization, how to empathize with the protagonist when he knows that his values are shattered.
This has to praise Huang Zhengmin:
South Korea to make this kind of bad man in love with the well-behaved woman of the bitter love film can be said to be handy, and Huang Zhengmin's acting skills are even more golden, complementary to the director, in the process of watching, even if you can understand the various shortcomings of the protagonist, but still can produce empathy under Huang Zhengmin's brilliant interpretation, and even begin to understand this hanging child Lang Dang, nothing to do with the street.
Being brought into a hustle and bustle, understanding his nonsense, understanding his machismo, only to find out in hindsight that he had been tricked into drying his tears.
Similarly, Taiwan Province, which is known for its "Taiwanese small freshness", also has a unique set of techniques.
The reason for the success of Qiu Ze's version is also greatly due to Qiu Ze's acting skills, which effectively capture the audience's only remaining empathy in the chaos, which also provides Qiu Ze with a Golden Horse Film Emperor nomination.
And then came to the version of Bao Bell.
I can only use the comments of a certain netizen to describe:
Bao Bell's version is very chicken thief is that the screenwriter modified the scorned paragraphs in the original version, including but not limited to the protagonist's indifference, violence and other personality characteristics, and the family paragraph has been repeatedly simplified.
This is very clever, and fundamentally eliminates the problem of the protagonist's incorrect values.
However, the length of the film is not reduced at all, and the screenwriter uses more ink on Bao Bell's pursuit of girls, coupled with the baggage design of Northeast Characteristics, which is reduced to a standard love story in the first half.
However, it does not hold.
Instead of enriching the three-dimensional sense of the characters, instead of trying to empathize with the audience, you repeatedly peel back the cocoon, and when all emotions are stripped away one by one, only a sincere question about love is left:
Just think, in 2021, who will fall in love with a "Bao Bell" whose appearance is still dead.
Personality charm is completely no ah kiss.
Hiding around, I ended up with a simple problem.
At this point, the early stage of the film also marketed Bao Bell's "acting skills".
In the film, it also tried to reproduce the classic shot of Huang Zhengmin eating noodles and crying 1:1.
The result is visible to the naked eye: a twitching jaw from crying.
One is also visible to the naked eye: eye drops can't fall off, and frantically nods in signs.
Like a labor prisoner who accidentally electrocutes.
Secondly, in this version, the screenwriter also deleted the narrative structure of flashbacks and interludes, except for a few minutes at the end, the overall narrative is more inclined to the standard classical narrative, more like a remake of the Qiu Ze version rather than the Korean original.
Under the lackluster lens, the entire film presents a posture of wanting to rush things together, perfunctory to the extreme.
It is no wonder that a work that has gathered Bao Bell, Xu Juncong, Qiao Shan, and Pan Binlong is difficult to try to get rid of the "small feeling" that comes with the lens, let alone to deceive the audience's tears.
Xiao Shenyang doesn't like the hilarious and sad sketches anymore, and you are still engaged in hilarious and sad movies.
It is worth emphasizing that compared with the remake of the same name in Qiu Ze's version of Zhengda Guangming, Bao Bell's version is renamed, called "Northeast Love Brother", I don't know if it is the harmonic sound of "Winter Love Song".
Moreover, perhaps the negative impact of the remake directing "Sunshine Sister Tao" is too great, so that it is afraid of igniting the fire, this time the film publicity even does not mention the Korean original in its entirety, and even the form of "remake" is intentionally avoided.
Except for a certain partner Dragonfly who cue the original version, there is no trace of any remake, and even many people do not know that Bao Bell has remade another movie.
This also led to a very interesting phenomenon:
Many netizens found out after spending money: How have I seen this plot?!
Opening the barrage, the eyes are full of shouts for Bao Bell to return their hard-earned money.
Looking at the barrage of bullets in front of me, shouting for money to return, I can't help but think about a question:
Bao Bell, let's continue to remake like this.
Will anyone else buy it?
