Bao Bell, when he was just an actor, the audience was already very "annoyed" with him.
Since the beginning of "Hong Kong 囧", there has always been a series of unsolvable questions haunting the minds of all audiences:
Why does an actor with awkward acting skills, an anxious appearance, a lewd temperament, and no audience popularity continue to bounce in front of our eyes?
Why can he become the protagonist of the movie and still be on so many variety shows?
How are his resources so good?
What exactly does he have behind the scenes?
In 2018, Bao Bell's directorial debut" "Fat Man Action Team" made him directly "win" the most disappointing new director at the 10th Golden Broom Awards. But this is not nothing, the most terrifying thing is that the box office of "Fat Man Action Team" is very hot, with a revenue of 260 million yuan.
In 2019, Bao Bell, who repeatedly played an unknown number of big fools, actually relied on the evolution of the villain in "Big" People to discover a new path of his career - "remake" Korean movies.
1: My Robot Girlfriend
Original 7.5 points.
He shot it, 3.6 points.
At that time, when Bao Bell and Xin Zhilei were selected, netizens were scolded. As for why it was scolded, everyone knows the reason.
Or Bao Bell's acting skills, his dirty acting style is really not popular. But he himself was not aware of the problem. I always feel that being mean and not talking well is comedy.
Bao Bell is really difficult to control such a pure love otaku role. In fact, he was better off with Wang Qianyuan's previous perversion in "Big Man". Therefore, the role should empathize with the audience and cannot be pretended, and it must conform to its own positioning, which is also a breakthrough, but the pure love of the otaku is indeed very contrary to the sense of harmony.
This sense of violation directly caused a deep gap between the plot of the movie and the audience before.
2: "Sunshine Sisters Tao"
Original 8.8 points.
He shot it, 4.5 points.
The original Korean film "Sunshine Sister Tao" in 2011 can be called a classic in youth films.
This story has been remade in Japanese and Vietnamese versions, and now it finally has a Chinese version of the interpretation.
But many viewers were "dissuaded" as soon as they heard the director's name. The results were not unexpected, with a rating of 4.5, pounced.
It must be admitted that the three words of Bao Bell alone are enough to dissuade a large wave of viewers, and the characters in the new version are almost all reproduced according to the original version.
In terms of plot, Zhang Lijun, the full-time wife played by Yin Tao, met Lin Qing, played by her high school friend Zeng Li, in the hospital, learned that she was terminally ill, and decided to fulfill her last wish for her...
This kind of reproduction of the gourd painting scoop is really not interesting.
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.
From the above remake, it can be seen that in order to circle money, Bao Bell is really lazy, and another new film he is now online, "Northeast Love Song", is also a lazy work.
A touching story in which a debt collector falls in love with a debtor's daughter, and a rude man clumsily chases after love.
Under such a premise, as long as the director does the basic smooth narrative, the film will not cause disgust.
If the director can achieve a bright adaptation and design a few more exquisite plays, this film can get a passing score or more.
However, the whole story, whether it is the overall structure, the transmission of emotions, the performance of the actors, there is a certain gap with the original film, the plot of the third act is somewhat inexplicable, and the final ending, the emotions can not be sublimated, the overall feeling is that the director did not think too clearly about which angle to tell the story from.
Opening the barrage, the eyes are full of shouts for Bao Bell to return their hard-earned money.
(This film is a webcast format, and the on-demand price is divided into 6 yuan (members) and 12 yuan (non-members).) ）
If there is no Taiwanese version of "When Men Fall in Love" that Qiu Ze and Xu Weining allied with in June this year, then Bao Bell's film can still confuse a wave of audiences.
Because as early as 2014, this film was launched in South Korea, starring Huang Zhengmin and Han Huizhen, which had set a record of 1.75 million people in 19 days in South Korea, and also got a word-of-mouth rating of 7.9 in our country.
The lazy Bao Bell once again selected a word-of-mouth work, but it can only be a Leftovers from the Taiwanese version. From the casting point of view, although South Korea's Huang Zhengmin is not a very outstanding actor, but the people are extremely high and the acting skills are good enough.
In my memory, he has always been the kind of black-hearted "underworld" person, the kind that makes people shudder at a glance, and even if it is not, his elm-like face is unlikely to play a romance movie. Obviously, this mindset is the result of popular movies using people's obsessive thinking that binds love to appearance.
In When Men Are in Love, Huang Zhengmin has created a specific image from many years ago - a cute little.
He ran rampant in the poor streets and alleys, often making big fights, and when he really encountered something, he pouted his mouth and looked confused, full of embarrassment. You could say he's boyish, or boyish, he's stubbornly admitting that it only takes a few seconds to fall in love with someone, and the only weapon against reality is the fist.
But he is also very fragile, at the end of the film two people reunited that scene at night, he did not go forward to hug his lover and pretend to be strong, but he cried out with a grievance, which made me can't help but like the script. After acting in so many underworlds, Huang Zhengmin not only did not fall into the trap, but also the performance became more delicate and mature, making such a clichéd film become dense and the tears accurate.
The Taiwanese version of "When Men Love", the casting is known as the stroke of God, Xu Weining is full of liking, and Qiu Ze is also attached to the handsome appearance of the circle of fans.
On the other hand, Bao Bell not only has no competition with Qiu Ze in appearance, but also from the perspective of people's degree, he is not as popular as Huang Zhengmin. Coupled with the fact that "Sunshine Sister Tao" directed by him once hit the street, even if "Northeast Love Song" has the blessing of a classic paragraph, it is very difficult to stimulate the audience's desire to watch the movie.
Bao Bell has a humorous but unwilling trait, this personality is actually not compatible with the arrogance of the north, so throughout the film, he has always been received, which is also in line with the character's personality. Because the character of the character itself is also a contradictory body, it is necessary to collect protection fees and be kind at heart. So the male protagonist completed the role task, but did not feel the emotional interaction between the female protagonist and the male protagonist.
In this way, the audience saw an interesting scene, the male protagonist took a group of supporting characters to cook oil, and turned back to the female protagonist and the years were quiet. This contrasts the audience. I really can't say that the actors don't work hard. I think it's a bit like a small horse-drawn cart, the engine power is not good, the speed of the car does not come up.
After watching the current movie, the actress is the most impressed with the male protagonist's sister-in-law. This is not normal for a normal movie.
Conclusion: At a glance, it seems that the remake of Korean movies is a contract for Bao Bell. First of all, I blindly guessed that if Bao Bell won all the first-hand resources and channels for remaking Korean movies. That's really Saion's horse, and it's not a disaster. Originally, as I said, if you use these resources for distribution and production, not only do you not have to be scolded, but you can also make money and get a name. But now I see it. If Bao Bell doesn't star in his own movie. The easy way to get there is to make a wedding dress for others. On the contrary, I did not like to be pleased, and I was laborious and scolded after acting, which was really uncomfortable.
