"Chinese films are copied and copied, and whether they can succeed depends on which one is more proficient."
Although 2021 is said to be a "year of disaster after disaster", in the film industry, various types of works are still emerging, such as "Send You a Little Red Flower", "Sweeping Black Decisive Battle", "Wishing Dragon" and so on.
There are highly acclaimed films, and there are also films that have been criticized since they were released, and the film we are going to talk about today, most people divide it into two categories.
As for the success or failure, it still depends on how everyone reacts to it. But before talking about this movie, let's talk about its lead actor, Chen Haomin.
As one of the once popular Hong Kong stars, Chen Haomin has a large number of fans in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Handsome appearance, coupled with just the right acting skills, people will never forget, and participating in the early years of "Tianlong Babu" as Duan Yu has captured the hearts of many young girls.
Therefore, in recent years, some of Chen Haomin's selfie dramas have been watched by many people. Whether it looks good or not, whether the subject matter is novel or not.
Initially, Chen Haomin's pace has been stuck on the TV series, after all, this is the field he is most familiar with. But in recent years, Chen Haomin has dabbled in movies again.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="152" > plagiarism storm</h1>
No, some time ago, Chen Haomin had a movie with the theme of ancient Chinese mythology, which is "Fengshen Bang Tota Heavenly King", starring Chen Haomin and Lin Zicong, and the release time was also not long ago on October 17th. As soon as you look at the name of the movie, you know that this is an ancient myth that Chen Haomin has loved for decades.
But students who are fortunate enough to have watched this film will find out, "How come the plot in the movie is exactly the same as the demon boy of Nezha some time ago?" "You must know that in the film and television circle, the most taboo is plot plagiarism, after all, because of this problem, there are countless overturned."
Yes, in Chen Haomin's version of the Tota Heavenly King, the human design and the Nezha in the demon boy incarnation, not to say that it has nothing to do with it, but it is exactly the same.
When they were young, for some reasons, their personalities changed greatly and they became the "little devils of the mixed world" who were rumored to be in the mouths of the people, hanging all day long, thinking about how to "engage in destruction".
There is also an old immortal who values his physique and escapes into the Immortal Gate to learn immortals, the only thing that is different: Nezha was born special and disobeyed discipline, while Li Jing in this movie is cultivated by the environment.
Having said that the "similar" disadvantages are over, let's look at the "similar" advantages.
The teenager Li Jing in the movie and Nezha in the incarnation of the magic boy are both people who bear justice and carry out their beliefs to the end.
Nezha is "my fate is up to me", and the young Li Jing is "saving my mother at any cost", although the forms of expression are different, but they all end up with the same destination, and in the end they all end up defeating evil.
Therefore, under various conditions, since the broadcast of "Fengshen List Tota Heavenly King", there has been a sound of "plagiarism" on the Internet. Live-action movies plagiarize anime, "shameful to the extreme".
But there are also many people who have justified the "Fengshen Bang Tota Heavenly King", most of the ancient mythological stories are well-known to everyone, and the general content is the same, not to mention Li Jing and Nezha.
Fathers and sons have very different personalities and similar behavior habits, is it plagiarism? Until now, the two groups of people have also argued endlessly, and have not distinguished between each other.
Throwing aside the subjective criticism of netizens, I don't know if everyone thinks that the content of the two movies belongs to plagiarism or "son inherits the father's business"?
However, putting aside the so-called plagiarism, we can still see some clues when we return to the story itself, such as the acting skills of the main actor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="116" > 52-year-old Chen Haomin re-played the 18-year-old teenager</h1>
In this movie, the protagonist of the teenager Li Jing is played by the early Generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars "Chen Haomin" that we are familiar with. In addition, Lin Zicong also appeared as a co-star.
Students who are familiar with the two must have heard more or less about their acting skills and the TV series and movies they have made in recent years.
For example, "Living Buddha Jigong", "The Legend of Searching For God", etc., exaggerated performances, exaggerated acting skills and the plot of Thunder Dead Man's Unpaid Life, all mark that this former "Duan Yu" can never go back.
The same is true in the "Fengshen Bang Tota Heavenly King". Exaggerated performances, embarrassing lines, in short, in recent years, it seems that the reputation of the "dancing boy" has disappeared.
Acting backwards, the control of the role alone is much worse than that of the actors of the same period. In the film, Li Jing's character is an 18-year-old teenager.
But what about Chen Haomin in reality? Now 52 years old, but also the father of two children, according to the age of the screen, the largest span of the general participation age is more than ten years.
Therefore, after watching the movie, many people also commented that "a teenager insists on pasting a fifty-year-old face, very jumpy", just like the older generation of actor Li Xiaoqing, the boss has been playing some girly roles.
It is true that making movies is not wrong, making money is no problem, but the problem is his attitude and irresponsibility to the audience and fans, with the changes in society, Chen Haomin's pompous performance has no market competitiveness now. What is even more ridiculous is that the 52-year-old Chen Haomin's re-playing of an 18-year-old teenager is not the first time for him.
Acting, strength is the key to pleasing, like Yi YanQianxi in the little red flower, young and famous, instead of forgetting himself in fame and fortune, but polishing himself for many years.
Just when everyone was thinking about progress, Chen Haomin was standing still, and it could not be said that he was immutable, at least his age had increased.
The quality of the movie depends on the script and the actors to the greatest extent, and if Chen Haomin wants to "eat the old book" all the time, the market will soon abandon him. The performance is exaggerated, and the plot is also accused of plagiarism, which shows the perfunctory selection of the script.
After all, good movies are not as occasionally top-notch as they were in previous years, so there is not much left for him, honing his acting skills to polish the script, or retiring early.
Some people say that Chen Haomin is forced to be helpless, after all, in the current film and television circle, there are many talents, and there is not much road left for them such as Hong Kong and Taiwan predecessors.
Some people also say that Chen Haomin is because he needs to support his family, so he has no taboos to take the script, no matter whether it is good or bad to give money to act, but no matter what, it is not right to squander his former reputation.
Don't wait until "everyone shouts and fights" to make a change, then it's too late.
