Nowadays, more and more classic IPs are restarted. During the New Year's Eve, Feng Xiaogang returned with "If You Are the One" 15 years ago. It is still a familiar lineup, Ge You and Shu Qi, the pair of CPs , it can still make the audience feel a bit sweet.
And 2024 is the 100th anniversary of Jin Yong’s birth, and there are countless works adapted from his classic novels. Among them, the more familiar IPs include "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
At present, the most popular ones are "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Greatest Man" directed by Tsui Hark and starring Xiao Zhan, and "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" starring Zhou Yiwei, Chen Duling and other actors.
Whether it is domestic dramas or domestic movies, they are gradually focusing on major IPs. Not only have the ratings exploded, but the box office has also made a lot of money.
Next, there are still many IPs that everyone is familiar with, meeting the audience in a new attitude, including the film version of "Family with Children".
At the premiere of "Family with Children: The Divine Dog Master", the chief planner and producer revealed that the "Family with Children" IP will be restarted this year, with all the original cast members returning, and even planning to cooperate with the Hollywood team to bring The story of a Chinese family is introduced to the world.
Although "Family with Children" was a work before 2010, it did accompany the growth of those born in the 8090s and even the 2000s. Now that this TV IP is back in the form of a movie version, you can imagine how high the audience's expectations are.
Although we still don’t know what kind of story the movie version of “Family with Children” will tell, the excitement and worries coexist, which makes people feel mixed.
01
The original cast returns to
to restart the old IP. How to attract the original audience is the key, and the original cast remains unchanged is undoubtedly the most basic.
The audience does not need to adapt to brand-new actors, as familiar faces will give people a sense of substitution. The film version of "Family with Children" can only be considered the original cast in the true sense if it brings together Song Dandan, Gao Yalin, Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan and You Haoran.
Nowadays, Song Dandan and Gao Yalin don't have many opportunities to appear in film and television works, and they rarely take leading roles. After You Haoran gained weight, he could only play some marginalized supporting roles in film and television dramas.
After Zhang Yishan became famous again with "Yu Zui", he never had more opportunities to show his acting skills. Coupled with the "The Deer and the Cauldron", he became the target of ridicule.
The only one who has both good reputation and popularity is Yang Zi, who releases several good works every year. The next ones that will be available to everyone are "Long Time Love" and "The Story of Joy". Once these works are released online, Yang Zi's popularity will still have room to increase.
At that time, Yang Zi was the least favored by Song Dandan, and they even thought that her appearance could not make it into the entertainment industry, which also led to endless rumors about the discord between the two.
However, after Song Dandan clarified, he highly recognized Yang Zi, and several leading actors of the "Family with Children" crew reunited privately, it can still be seen that their relationship is very good.
And Yang Zi must be a big star for the movie version of "Family with Children". Although she is an actress in the original lineup, Yang Zi, whose popularity continues to increase, is no longer the same as before. . A lot of good resources are waiting for her. If Yang Zi still nostalgicly chooses to star in this movie version of "Family with Children", it will bring a lot of traffic to the film.
But the one who is most likely to make everyone laugh is You Haoran. When he was a child, he was cute and cute, but when he grew up, he was a completely different person. Unlike Yang Zi, who became more and more beautiful, and unlike Zhang Yishan, who was enlarged in proportion, You Haoran was completely tall. A disabled child star.
In addition, You Haoran's performance in film and television works in the past two years is really unsatisfactory. His acting skills are not as aura as when he was a child, and his tall and thick body shape does not look like a younger brother in the movie version of "Family with Children", but on the contrary Like Big Brother, it will also affect the audience's sense of immersion.
But even so, as long as "Family with Children" can gather the original cast, it will definitely attract a large number of viewers. Even if they pay for the sentiment, no one will want to miss this work.
02
Brand new story
But what really determines the reputation of the movie version is the plot. "Love Apartment" has also been restarted and produced a movie version. Although the box office results are very impressive, the unsatisfactory reputation evaluation has made all the leading actors look ugly.
This is also because the movie version of "Love Apartment" has turned into a fantasy adventure work, with various illogical plots, which directly proves that the movie version is just to make money.
Therefore, the importance of the story is self-evident, and the main story line of "A Family with Children" will inevitably have a lot of changes compared to the script. This is also because the leading actors in the play have grown a lot in age and can no longer The daily life in school, the relationship between neighbors, and the education of parents to their children are the focus of the depiction.
movie version will most likely focus on the careers and emotional issues of several children. This kind of story, which is closer to reality and more down-to-earth, can better resonate with the audience.
And Song Dandan and Gao Yalin are not too young, and they are likely to be involved in issues such as physical health and retirement, and there is also the possibility of being adapted for the screen.
The drama version of "Family with Children" has a high reputation because of its exploration of current social phenomena and its realistic depiction of reorganized family relationships. Only by continuing this advantage can the
movie version truly become a work that earns both reputation and box office, which places high demands on screenwriters and directors.
In addition to telling the story of a family, the drama version also extended many characters. The film version wants to make the story fuller in a limited time, which cannot be ignored.
However, the actors themselves are the guarantee of quality. If the script is too bad, I believe Song Dandan will not risk his life by starring in a bad movie, and Yang Zi's audience popularity cannot withstand the consumption, so as long as the original cast is gathered together , which can show from the side that the script is not bad.
Even People's Entertainment strongly supports "Family with Children" and is obviously looking forward to this film as well. However, judging from the current situation, the film will definitely have a big regret. With the original cast of
returning, the audience naturally hopes to see all the familiar faces, including a number of supporting characters. However, the actor Wen Xingyu who played the grandfather in the play passed away in 2007, and there is no possibility of his return.
It is the biggest regret that the whole family cannot gather together.
But fortunately, almost all other supporting characters have the possibility of guest appearances in the film, especially Liu Xing's good buddies. They are still close friends in real life, so appearing in the movie is not a problem.
So, are you looking forward to the movie version of "Family with Children"?
