On January 20, the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" was released quietly. There was no publicity or road show, it was just released quietly. After all, "Flower Thousand Bones" is considered a popular IP. It is really unexpected that it is so low-key this time.
In 2015, the fairy tale drama "Flower Thousand Bones" starring Zhao Liying and Huo Jianhua was launched. It quickly became popular after its premiere and became the hit drama of the year. It was with this drama that Zhao Liying began to become a first-line actress. With her excellent performance With its plot and the outstanding acting skills of the actors, "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" is hailed as the last glory of domestic love fairy dramas.
After many years, news about the remake of "A Thousand Bones" continues to spread, but I didn't expect that the first movie to be released would be the movie version of "A Thousand Bones".
The movie version of "A Thousand Bones" stars Duling Chen, Li Chengbin, and Mao Zijun. In addition, Lai Meiyun, Zhang Zining, Zhang Li and many other actresses join the cast. Judging from the cast, the movie version of "A Thousand Bones" It's not bad, and with the blessing of popular IP, the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" has no shortage of highlights.
What people didn't expect is that the movie version of "A Thousand Bones" had a dismal box office performance just one day after its release. So far, the single-day box office has only exceeded 2 million, and the predicted box office is only 13.41 million.
What is even more fatal is that after the film was released, there were countless negative reviews. The comment area was even flooded with one star, and the reasons for the negative reviews from the audience were surprisingly consistent!
01, the plot is sparse
The story of "Flower Thousand Bones" highlights one word, which is "abuse". One is an immortal who carries the righteous path of immortals and heroes for all people in the world, and the other is an orphan who is obsessed with evil and is born to be the true form of a demon god. The two people, who are immortals and demons, have different paths. They became masters and apprentices under the arrangement of fate, and they fell in love with each other as they got along day and night. However, they could not escape their fate because of the opposition between good and evil.
Zhao Liying's version of "A Thousand Bones" perfectly interpreted this "abuse". I believe that many viewers shed a lot of tears while watching this drama.
Although the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" also strives to highlight sadomasochism, after all, it is limited by the length of the movie. The entire plot is cut into pieces, the dramatic conflicts are not accurately grasped, and it seems very abrupt. The appearance of the characters and the development of the plot There is no foreshadowing, and it feels like the entire movie was pieced together, which is inexplicable.
02, Wumao Special Effects
As a theater movie, it is also a fairy tale drama. In addition to the plot, it is natural that exquisite costume scenes and grand special effects scenes are indispensable. However, it is a pity that the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" Did neither.
First of all, it’s the costumes. After all, "Flower Thousand Bones" is also a theatrical blockbuster, and there are so many stars, but the costumes are not even as good as those of some Internet celebrities. The costumes and scenes lack quality. Looking at today’s fairy tale dramas, which one is not the best? As gorgeous as it is, let alone a theatrical blockbuster, the beggar-like costumes are really unacceptable.
The second is the special effects. The special effects of domestic fairy tale dramas have always been criticized by the audience. However, in the past two years, the special effects of many fairy tale dramas have made great progress, allowing people to see the development of domestic special effects.
However, in the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", the 50-cent special effects mentioned by netizens have appeared again. Many netizens even bluntly said that the special effects are just like the old version of "Journey to the West", which is really too fake!
03. Poor acting skills
Frankly speaking, Chen Duling's appearance in "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" is still very good, but her acting skills are very average. Although it is not the worst, she can only be average as the heroine. To describe it, there are not many outstanding performances.
The same is true for Li Chengbin and Mao Zijun. There is a big gap between them and the drama version. Regardless of whether the audience is a fan of the original work or not, the actors' acting skills will not lie.
All in all, it is expected that the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" has a poor reputation. After all, "Zhu Xian" and "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" are lessons learned from the past. It is inherently difficult to adapt such fairy tale dramas with a grand world view into movies. You can imagine how difficult it is to get out of the circle!
