Recently, the movie version of "花千 Bone" was officially released, but the box office in the three days of release was less than 5 million, and was ridiculed by netizens as a real "bloody masterpiece."
It is reported that the original filming investment of the film version of "Flower Thousand Bones" was as high as hundreds of millions, and it was adapted from a popular fairy novel. In addition, the drama version of "Flower Thousand Bones" is called a phenomenal fairy puppet show, so many People were originally looking forward to this work.
Judging from the main creative lineup of this movie, the film is directed by Zhang Chaoli, starring Chen Duling and Li Chengbin. It stands to reason that Zhang Chaoli is a relatively experienced director and has participated in the director of "October Siege" " red flag " and other film and television works.
And Chen Duling is a popular female supporting role in the popular dramas in the past year. She is impressive in various dramas with her top-notch question-telling tactics. Unexpectedly, they encountered Waterloo this time and provoked Everyone complained a lot.
Many netizens complained about the unsatisfactory quality and casting of the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers". They felt that the director's directing skills were not enough, and many details were not well controlled, and the visual effects presented were quite awkward.
The heroine Hua Qiangu, played by Chen Duling, was criticized for being too pretentious and her darkening was only supported by makeup. The male protagonist Li Chengbin did not fit the image of Bai Zihua at all, and gave people the impression that he was a concave and cold-faced man. .
Some netizens complained that Li Chengbin finally got to play the male lead, but he did not work hard for the role. Both his appearance and figure were dissed, which made people look down on him.
Even if the heroine of the drama version Zhao Liying specially posted to help promote it, it was not able to restore the movie version's audience reputation at all.
Even CCTV officials complained that this film was "the worst of the year" and bluntly said that this film was indeed too bad.
As a result, director Zhang Chaoli could only apologize everywhere. First, he bent down and apologized in public at the premiere, with helplessness written all over his face.
Then he sent a video apology. Facing the camera, he felt like others were about to break. He said that he felt sorry for the producers and the team, but his efforts were not proportional. He also said that he had not dared to slack off for thousands of days and nights over the past four years. It’s all about studying good shots.
Not only that, Zhang Chaoli also expressed that he was surprised that the box office was not good, and he also used the excuse that the crew was the first batch to resume work in 2020 during the epidemic, but he did not feel sorry for the audience.
Therefore, some netizens believe that this kind of apology and reflection has not seen the essence through the dismal box office. If a work does not put the needs and feelings of the audience first, failure is inevitable.
You must know that the drama version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" became a hit drama in the first place precisely because the entire team worked hard and the leading actors also studied their roles seriously.
Zhao Liying's acting when she was eating "special effects buns" was natural and smooth, and did not make people feel that her acting was pretentious at all. The plot also restored the original work as much as possible and captured the essence of the original work.
As for the film version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", regardless of the quality of the special effects and the suitability of the casting, it is difficult for everyone to see the highlights of this remake story in less than 100 minutes. It carries the skin of a big IP, but the inside is It's empty, which makes it difficult for the audience to pay for it at the box office.
Teng Huatao, the director of the previous movie "Shanghai Fortress", also issued an apology, but he was also accused of being insincere, insisting that "it doesn't take hard work, but there are rewards." At the same time, he also thanked the leading actors and investors first, and then said thank you at the end. Audiences who love this movie.
After the movie was released, it was difficult to recover the final box office cost, and its reputation was so high that it became a bad movie of the year. This also allowed people in the industry to see that the IP+fan economy does not equal a good box office.
Nowadays, the movie version of "A Thousand Bones" also has a popular IP. It took four years to finally become "the worst at the beginning of the year". This is undoubtedly because of problems in the work itself. And it is precisely because of the director's perfunctory attitude and failure to pay attention to the needs of the audience that bad films continue to emerge.
I can only say that the audience does not believe in tears, and good works do not need tears to wash them away. Treating the audience with your heart and studying the work seriously are indispensable for a high-quality work.
