This year's summer file is quite lively, but there are very few movies that really arouse the audience's appetite, "Catching Dolls" starring Shen Teng and Ma Li exploded when it was launched, and the skyrocketing box office of the movie is obviously a good thing, but it doubles the pressure on movies in the same schedule, especially for some small costs and small productions.
It is reported that the movie will be launched on August 16, and the release date is more than half a month later than the previously determined July 26.
And this half a month has just given the box office market a chance to breathe, and the drama party has taken great pains to get the box office of the movie, but to be honest, the lineup configuration of the movie itself and the texture of the trailer are not like a dark horse that can be favored by the market.
The configuration is mediocre, the texture is too poor, and the movie is in obvious decline
Hu Mei, the director of the movie "Dream of Red Mansions", is a famous fifth-generation director with directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and is one of the most outstanding female directors in China.
In the story of "Dream of Red Mansions", the growth and fate of countless women are used as the highlight, and the perspective of female directors is conducive to filming the delicacy of the original work and shaping the charm of the characters.
But I have to say that Hu Mei's achievements in film and television dramas over the years are too far from those in the early years, and the "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" that she has participated in directing are all popular word-of-mouth dramas.
But the word-of-mouth failure of "Confucius" in 2010 was counted, and Hu Mei directly became the most disappointing director at the 2nd Golden Broom Awards, and the subsequent film and television dramas were basically word-of-mouth overturned, and the quality was worrying. With such an unstable performance of the work, it is really hard for the audience to believe that her remake of "Dream of Red Mansions" can become an exception in the remake.
Besides, generally speaking, the movie promotion period is the most eye-catching time, but as soon as the trailer of "Dream of Red Mansions: Golden Jade Relationship" was released, there was a rough feeling of a big online movie, and even the trailer could not be attractive, and the audience would of course not be interested in the feature film.
Now that the movie has experienced a twist and turn of withdrawal and finalization, the decline is obvious, I am afraid that before the word-of-mouth ferments, the movie has already died in the corner that no one cares about.
Not only that, but the configuration of the movie in casting is also difficult to describe.
The texture of the important characters is not suitable, and the momentum of ruining the classics is obvious
From the casting results, you can actually see the director's and screenwriter's understanding of the original work, once the casting is not highly suitable in terms of image and temperament, it is basically not even the most basic respect for the original work.
However, several protagonists in "Dream of Red Mansions: Golden and Jade Relationship" all give the audience a feeling of unreliability.
The actor Zhang Miaoyi, who plays Lin Daiyu, although she is a typical light face, her image is not outstanding enough, her eyes are not good-looking, her nose and mouth are not delicate enough, and the signal released in the trailer is like an innocent and cute little girl, which is completely inconsistent with Lin Daiyu's weak willow supportive, cowardly and noble image.
In addition to the "girlish posture", Zhang Miaoyi's adaptability to the role is only gender.
In addition, the actor Bian Cheng, who plays Jia Baoyu, also has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu in the original book in terms of image. Although actor Bian Cheng's acting talent is online, he has also created juvenile characters in many costume dramas before, but his appearance is relatively stronger than Yang Yang and Ouyang Fen before, and he is too tough.
The character itself is a young master of a noble family, a pearl in his palm, and extravagance is the essence of Jia Baoyu, but in the trailer of "Dream of Red Mansions: Golden and Jade Romance", Bian Cheng has a rustic face, the whole person is gray, and his bones and facial features are not outstanding enough.
Similarly, Huang Jiarong, who plays Xue Baochai, also has a mediocre maid face, modern clothes and ancient costumes are not recognizable, and the image is a small family, but there is really no sense of Xue Baochai's elegant manners and erudition.
At first glance, the lineup of young actors in "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Dream of Red Mansions" has a kind of fireworks smell of a big fat girl, not that this temperament is not good, but that the match between this temperament and "A Dream of Red Mansions" is too low.
If you take stock of the cast in "Dream of Red Mansions: The Golden Jade Relationship", you will find that among the young actors, only Guan Xiaotong has the so-called coffee position and popularity, but Guan Xiaotong plays the role of Jia Yuanchun in the movie.
At that time, when filming the movie, Guan Xiaotong was still young, and the baby fat on her face was about to come out, no matter how she looked at it, she looked like a little girl who had never been in the world, and her eyes were full of innocence.
Not only that, but as the promotion of the movie is on the right track, the casting of Qingwen's role has also been made public.
In the original book, Qingwen is somewhat similar to Lin Daiyu between her eyebrows and eyes, but she is pampered, her personality is unforgiving, and she is completely a Xi Shi who can speak well, and her figure and appearance are a must.
But the actress who plays Qingwen not only does not have the so-called amazing beauty, but also was complained by netizens about hitting her face, she is like Yoko Ramu after losing weight, her whole face is very meaty, her facial features are not delicate enough, and her temperament is also very girly.
Seeing this version of Qingwen, netizens were puzzled and questioned, "Is this Qingwen?" ", "It is estimated that it is the most common Qingwen in history", "Not to mention Beiying and the 2010 version, even the 87 version can't be compared".
Looking back at Qingwen's actors, you will find that even if the casting of the previous versions is not enough to fit the original work, she is definitely recognized as a big beauty.
The 2010 version of Yang Mi was at the peak of her appearance, her eyes were extremely attractive at that time, and her facial features were very exquisite.
In the 87 version, the actor who plays the role of Qingwen is named An Wen, she has a small head and a small face, but her facial features are very large, a pair of big eyes are quite advantageous, a delicate and tall nose, and her beauty is more aggressive.
In contrast to these beauties, Qingwen in "Dream of Red Mansions: Golden Jade Romance" is really like a personal maid around her in previous versions.
It can only be said that as soon as the image of Qingwen in the movie "Dream of Red Mansions" came out, the audience immediately realized the importance of appearance.
This is not just ruining the classic casting, in the case that the previous full score answer is placed there, the director can still cast in the faces of a group of maids, it can only be said that the movie is estimated to be more difficult to restore in terms of plot highlights.
