Do you still remember the hilarious "The Richest Man in Xihong City"? No, a new film "Don't Be Rich Don't Be Happy" was recently released, which is claimed to be a continuation of the joyful style, but as a result, it unexpectedly aroused widespread complaints from the audience.
This film, from the beginning, attracted everyone's attention with a plot similar to "The Richest Man in Xihong City", although the producer repeatedly emphasized that it has nothing to do with the Happy Twist team, but the audience's eyes are bright, this kind of "bumping shirt" style of creativity is really laughable.
On the first day of release, the film successfully attracted a large number of viewers with its "familiar" plot and "déjà vu" scenes, however, the reviews were mixed, to put it bluntly, it was a mixed bag.
It seems that the audience does not pay for this practice of "changing the soup but not the medicine".
This movie mainly tells the story of a male protagonist who unexpectedly gained a huge fortune and began to live a profligate life.
This kind of plot, well, that's right, is the kind of hilarious scene in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", but in this film, it seems a bit old-fashioned and makes people not interested.
The audience showed obvious dissatisfaction with this "fried cold rice" style of plot, and it seems that simple imitation cannot win the hearts of the audience.
Not to mention the scenes in the film that are full of male perspectives and vulgar jokes, compared with the affectionate atmosphere of sacrificing for love in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it is a world of difference.
This kind of gap made the audience even more unhappy, and they said: "Is this still the joyful style we are looking forward to?" ”。
Producer, do you think that if you invite Huang Cailun, you will be foolproof? As a result, Huang Cailun's actual appearance time in the film was less than ten minutes, and this practice of "selling dog meat with a sheep's head" really surprised the audience.
Most of the scenes fall on some relatively less-known actors, and this marketing strategy that relies on star effect is a kind of deception in the eyes of the audience.
At the same time, the performance of "Don't Be Rich Don't Be Rich" is also bleak in the film and television works released at the same time.
Compared with the popular TV series "The Story of Rose" and "Between the Ink Rain Clouds", it is much inferior in audience acceptance and box office.
This contrast makes people more worried about the quality of current domestic films.
On the Internet, the audience's evaluation of "Don't Be Rich Don't Be Scared" is also one-sided negative.
Many netizens expressed their disappointment with the film in sharp words, and some even questioned that it was a hype project for Huang Cailun's personal funds.
Although this movie also won a box office of 600 million, it is regarded as the lowest record of the Happy Twist team under Shen Teng's name in the industry, which is really embarrassing.
Speaking of Huang Cailun's performance style, the audience also had a lot of discussions.
The general view is that his performance does not have Stephen Chow's absurd nonsensical style, nor does it lack Shen Teng's unique sense of humor.
On the contrary, his over-reliance on vulgar jokes and repetitive old memes to please the audience is clearly outdated.
Since Huang Cailun became independent of Shen Teng, many of the films he starred in have not achieved good commercial results.
Especially in "The Sun Never Sets Hotel", although Shen Teng's participation is vigorously highlighted in the promotional materials, in fact, Shen Teng only appears in the form of a stand.
This marketing strategy of "selling dog meat on the head of a sheep" has greatly dampened the audience's expectations, and it makes people feel like they have been cheated.
In Happy Twist's other film works such as "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Lonely on the Moon", although Huang Cailun also starred, he appeared as a supporting role.
These characters highlight his identity as a more suitable supporting character than the main character in the play.
Many viewers felt that his performance was over-the-top and lacked the necessary emotional depth, a significant gap from what was expected.
Although it appears frequently in Shen Teng's films, Huang Cailun's performance evaluation shows a polarizing trend.
This highlights his limitations in acting and role selection.
Faced with this situation, Huang Cailun still chose to cooperate with Shen Teng in the new film "Catching the Doll".
This shows that he is trying to break out of the old mold and reposition his career path.
What a wise choice.
Wong's career journey is a true reflection of the challenges of an actor in choosing a project and creating a character.
His experience can be regarded as a reminder to the industry and the audience: successful comedians need more than just a sense of humor.
It is necessary to have a suitable role choice and a clear career positioning.
I hope that in the future, Huang Cailun can show more high-quality comedy talents on the stage that suits him.
Don't let the audience down anymore.
