"Little Wish" is a remake of the South Korean high-scoring "sex comedy" movie "Great Wish", blessed by the director of "Predecessor" Tian Hanyu,
caught the audience's attention before it was released. Although
is so, but the fate of the movie "Little Wish" is twists and turns.
had set a summer file for release, and planned to win a wave of box office "Little Wish", but due to scale issues, it was withdrawn.
finally revised it and waited for it to be released. As a result, on the day of the premiere, there was a battle between the two male protagonists. The box office comparison between
and "Zhu Xian 1" released at the same time is even more disastrous. "Zhu Xian 1" has exceeded 240 million in the box office within three days after its release, while the box office of "Little Wish" will exceed 100 million within three days of its release. The
film takes three buddies as the core story. It tells the 18-year-old Gao Yuan who is about to pass away due to a terminal illness. After learning of the bad news, the buddies Xu Hao and Zhang Zhengyang decided to help him realize his dreams. Then the three embarked on a ridiculous journey of dreams.
The starring Peng Yuchang, Wang Daxun and Wei Daxun are all new generation traffic niche. Their own fan effect should not be underestimated. However, even if the three major traffic niche joins, it is of no avail. The film is not in the box office or word of mouth. As expected.
In fact, this film, whether from the selection or the actors, is eye-catching.
Although "Little Wish" is a remake of the South Korean film "Great Wish", it is not original, but as a youth film, the film pays attention to the topic of "broken places" and can also make audiences smile through sexual culture.
In the film, Peng Yuchang, who plays a teenager suffering from muscular dystrophy, only relied on the jitter of facial muscles and the changes in his eyes to bring to life the complex inner activities of the teenager.
But even the best acting skills can’t save the film’s shooting flaws. The messy narrative style of
's "Little Wish" and the obvious sense of rupture in the overall rhythm of the film. In addition to
, the soundtrack and shots often appear suddenly. These circumstances directly lower the audience’s viewing effect.
Although the film has a big problem with the narrative rhythm, in fact "Little Wish" tells a very simple story, and it does not hinder the narrative itself.
The entire film only focuses on "sex" and "comedy", and does not carry out a core divergence of the story, and the characterization is also simple, so the film also has the obvious problem of weak main story.
In fact, the "localization" of remakes often requires a location to resonate with the local society and culture, and some films that have achieved box office success also work hard in this area.
is also a remake of a movie, but "Little Wish" is more about copying the original film routines and jokes, and abandoning the derivation of the theme of the film, and also abandoning the search for the "falling point" that is in line with Chinese society.
"Little Wish" chooses China in time and space at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. How does
reflect the youth groups of that era to increase resonance with audiences of the same age should have been what the film should do ,
, but the film’s description of the times is very vague.
"Little Wish" is very diverse in themes, and the diversity of film themes makes it possible to diverge.
But in the end, the film chose to focus on "sex comedy", a relaxed, but lazy way of adaptation. This is no longer a question of adaptation, but a question of people.
