The TV series "Twinkle Twinkle Star" co-starring Zhang Jianing and Qu Chuxiao will be launched in 2022. After the show was aired, it was evaluated as a phenomenal hit drama. "It's Snowing with Zhang Wansen" is the drama One of the more classic lines in the film has also become the most out-of-the-box line of the whole year.
This drama mainly introduces you to a secret love story full of regrets. Secret love has always been difficult to express, but it is precisely because it cannot be expressed that it becomes a regret. The two leading actors in the drama missed each other because of regret. Even the final version of the drama failed to have a happy ending.
Perhaps in order to make up for everyone’s regrets about this drama, after the TV series ended, the official immediately announced that there will be a movie version of the work, and the whole team will continue their relationship. Fans of the drama are very much looking forward to it. The movie version was finally released during the New Year's Eve, and the film arrived as promised. During the promotion process of
, the drama team has always emphasized that it will make up for everyone's regrets, and this time, compared with the TV series, it will be unfolded from the perspective of the male protagonist, creating a perfect double-arrow secret love story for everyone. Since the release of the
movie, the box office has exceeded 600 million. Compared with the New Year's Eve movies in the same period, the figures are much better, but in fact, the reputation of this movie is not as good as expected.
As early as the first day the movie was released, everyone complained. First of all, everyone expected a story that could make up for the regrets of the script. However, the content of the movie has almost nothing to do with the drama version. It can be said that it has been adapted beyond recognition.
The film is indeed unfolded from Zhang Wansen's perspective, but in the first half of the story, the interaction between the male and female protagonists is somewhat inexplicable, and many of the designs have been complained about as "forcibly reducing intelligence."
The second half of the film begins to introduce all the previous doubts to everyone. In fact, the story presented in the movie is the secret love story of Zhang Wansen and Lin Beixing, and the two came to the same parallel time and space at the same time, wanting to save each other.
In this time and space, Zhang Wansen is a top student with a score of more than 600 points in the college entrance examination, and is about to study abroad under the arrangement of his parents. Lin Beixing failed the college entrance examination and has been preparing to repeat his studies. In the film, everyone saw a domestic A very common problem in youth romance dramas. They seem to have nothing else in their lives except each other and love. Even if they travel to a parallel time and space, they should be responsible for the lives of people here.
Another issue worth complaining about is that the characters of Zhang Wansen and Lin Beixing have undergone great changes. In the TV series, everyone admires Zhang Wansen's dream, and also appreciates Lin Beixing who dares to love and hate. In the
script, Zhang Wansen's dream is to be a Veterinarian Without Borders, which he is very sure about. Although his life trajectory has changed after meeting Lin Beixing, he has not given up on his dream.
However, in the movie version, Zhang Wansen’s dream became a man who just wanted to go to the moon. This dream was caused by Lin Beixing, a child, pointing at the moon and saying, "If you can get up here, we will be good friends." , this kind of plot design weakens Zhang Wansen's character and makes everyone think that he is a very brainless person.
In the drama version, Lin Beixing is a person who has one thing and two things. Her free and cheerful personality is deeply loved and supported by fans. When she was a student, she would take the initiative to confess to the boys she liked.
However, in the movie, she is the same person as Zhang Wansen who loves but dare not say it. The two traveled to the same parallel time and space at the same time and were doing the same thing to save each other, but neither one said it to the other. The truth was revealed, and it was not until the finale that the two resolved their misunderstanding. This also caused the audience to feel that the plot was dragging and helpless when watching the movie.
The movie did make up for the regrets of the drama version. In the Easter egg after the finale, Lin Beixing stood alone in the snow, but when she said "Zhang Wansen, it's snowing" again, Zhang Wansen stood behind her when she turned around .
But in fact, there is another regrettable point buried in the film, that is, in Zhang Wansen and Lin Beixing's respective time and space, both Lin Beixing and Zhang Wansen died due to the fire at the concert, which also caused them to want to do it again and again. The reason for traveling to parallel time and space to save each other.
The drama version was really popular when it was aired, and the Douban score reached 6.8. It is indeed one of the better-looking youth love dramas in recent years, but I have to admit that the movie version did not meet everyone's expectations. Perhaps it is because the drama version is so exciting that everyone has expectations for the movie version, so it has been evaluated as a "fraud movie" by some moviegoers.
The first half of the film will indeed make everyone feel confused, but there will be a turning point in the second half. Although the adaptation is a bit disappointing, overall there is still something touching.
Zhang Jianing and Qu Chuxiao's acting skills in the film are still online throughout. Friends who like it can consider whether to go to the cinema to watch the original film.
