movie stars Yu Shaoqun and Liu Xiaoqing, both of whom are famous actors. For a major online work, such a lineup is quite luxurious. However, Liu Xiaoqing's reputation has been a bit embarrassing in recent years. It is estimated that many viewers will be attracted by this pair of actors when they see it. I'm afraid, maybe Liu Xiaoqing is pretending to be naive and Yu Shaoqun again.
After watching the movie, I can assure you.
Yu Shaoqun and Liu Xiaoqing played the role of grandma and grandson. This time Liu Xiaoqing matched the age. Unfortunately, the audience was fooled too much. The box office and popularity of "Weird Nights in the Rain and Autumn Lights" were quite bleak, and there was even the possibility of losing money.
only had a box office of RMB 200,000. 71-year-old Liu Xiaoqing’s new film was ridiculed by the public, and the Internet horror film was made into a science and education film.
According to data from video websites, the popularity of "The Night Rain and Autumn Lights Hear Strange Things" never reached the top on its premiere day. The box office of
on the first day was only a little over 200,000. For a star-studded Internet drama, this result is quite embarrassing. It is predicted that its final box office will be around 3 million. Generally speaking, the production cost of an Internet drama starring big stars is Around 8 million to 10 million, after all, the salary of a has-been star is not too low.
Therefore, it is difficult to return to the original version of "Wearing Strange Things in the Night Rain and Autumn Lights".
Although the 71-year-old Liu Xiaoqing did not pretend to be young this time, the quality of "Wearing Strange Things in the Rain and Autumn Lights" is really a bit poor.
movie is a typical online folk horror film. The plot of
is that the young master played by Yu Shaoqun is working hard outside. One day, his family received a letter from his grandmother, saying that he missed his grandson and wanted his grandson to visit her.
But my grandma passed away five years ago. What happened to this handwritten letter?
With doubts, the male protagonist and his good friend Huang Fatty embarked on the road back to their hometown. The director must arrange a lot of suspense and scary scenes along the way, such as meeting a fortune teller and saying that the two of you will never come back. Even taking one look at the male protagonist, the fortune teller was so frightened that he ran away.
This can't help but make the audience curious, is it possible that the director is planning to play something big next?
If the male protagonist encounters a water ghost next. I saw my grandma coming back from the dead.
Grandma also thoughtfully said that no matter what you hear while sleeping here, you are not allowed to open the door. At night, if someone calls the male protagonist's name, it will be Fatty Huang at first, and then it will be a female voice.
Anyway, there are a lot of supernatural stories after that. The villagers said that grandma passed away a long time ago. Who did you meet?
Why is there a snake demon in the village, and then he pretends to perform sacrifices, dance with immortals, etc. It almost captures all the elements of Internet thrillers in recent years. The funniest thing is that this film only lasts 63 minutes, which is the length of a TV series. Many viewers are wondering, doesn’t the director need to explain so many supernatural events? Can ghosts really appear in domestic thrillers?
After watching the ending, I have to say that I saw a ghost. The director is really a genius.
After these plots scared the audience, the plot took a big turn. The reason was that the male protagonist had a piece of shrapnel in his brain. All the stories were the male protagonist's own imagination. Simply put, it was what the male protagonist had in his brain.
The next step is that the male protagonist underwent surgery and lived a happy life. This is the scientific explanation of the movie. How is it different from "Into Science"!
The whole movie looks like Liu Xiaoqing is sleepwalking, without any acting skills to speak of. No wonder he is ridiculed by netizens for wanting to be a vase even at his old age.
was purely invited by the film crew to create a gimmick to support the scene. This kind of situation can be seen in many Internet competitions in recent years.
A veteran actor shouldn’t be a fig leaf for bad movies, but the audience still doesn’t buy it.
Liu Xiaoqing is 71 years old this year. Retiring or starring as an elderly woman in a blockbuster would have been the best option.
But in 2023, Liu Xiaoqing began to transform into a major in Internet shooting. The starring role in "Snow Sniper 2" received negative reviews. Not to mention the copycat "Taking Tiger Mountain", Liu Xiaoqing also played a girl who was even defeated by the two male protagonists. Chasing, doesn’t the producer know that this plot sucks? Doesn’t the producer know that Liu Xiaoqing is a member of the Yatou Cult?
They all know it, but these people have regarded movies as a business, and everything is done to attract audiences through gimmicks.
It’s not just Liu Xiaoqing, we can see that Li Liqun, Pan Changjiang, Eric Tsang, Xu Shaoqiang, Lu Liangwei and many other golden supporting actors have transformed into acting in the Internet industry, and their acting skills have plummeted. It’s not that they can’t act, but that they know , I came here not to act.
is purely a fig leaf for bad movies on the Internet! But the audience has been fooled a lot, and naturally they will not pay for their feelings. This is why in the past two years, the Internet universities starring these veteran actors have begun to receive a cold reception!
