originally thought that the box office of 3 million on the day of the premiere was because the popularity and spread of the film had not kept up, and it would definitely pick up in the future. But I didn't expect that this was already the peak of the single-day box office for the movie version of "花千 Bone"!
Although the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" was not favored by the industry and netizens before it was released, I didn't expect that the box office would be so "bumping"!
Seeing that the single-day box office was about to fall below the one million mark, the movie version of "A Thousand Bones" also actively started "self-rescue"! First, the director cried live and apologized to the entire crew for the box office failure! Later, Zhao Liying, who plays the drama version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", and other script actors such as Ma Ke posted messages of support. The two-pronged approach also increased the popularity of the film to a certain extent!
However, even if Zhao Liying was invited to leave the show and the director's live broadcast apology failed to bring any box office improvement to the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers"! After the single-day box office did not exceed one million on the third day of release, the single-day box office on January 23 was only 325,600, and the total box office was barely over 5 million! With such results and momentum, not only is it getting further and further away from the predicted box office of 10 million, but the number of subsequent films will also drop significantly. The movie version of "A Thousand Bones" with an investment of over 100 million is destined to be a box office smash!
In the director's apology, he mostly cried out about his difficulties and his unwillingness to suffer a disastrous box office failure, but he did not reflect at all on the root causes of the poor quality of the work and the poor plot! In fact, with the sentiments of the drama version of "A Thousand Bones" and the current popularity of Chen Duling , the movie version of "A Thousand Bones" already has a certain amount of traffic and box office base.
But after the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" was released, it changed a fairy tale drama into a martial arts style. In addition to rough service, cutouts, filters and editing were all of insufficient quality, the plot was also completely subverted. The setting of the drama version not only loses the emotional feeling of the original story line of the drama version, but the newly added settings also seem inconsistent, completely losing the core and advantages of the story of the work! Under various circumstances, the audience lost their enthusiasm for watching the movie, the negative reviews and the Douban score of only 4.2 directly led to the film's disastrous failure at the box office!
Of course, although the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" was a complete box office success, looking at the entire film, in addition to the screenwriter's wild imagination, he wanted to completely subvert the narrative structure of the drama version, but the changes made it even more ugly. The performances of leading actors such as Chen Duling, Mao Zijun, , etc. are still worthy of recognition!
The first is Chen Duling who plays the heroine. In fact, when filming the film version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", Chen Duling was at the bottleneck of his career. Both his popularity and his influence on the work were very limited! Being able to get the heroine of the movie version of "A Thousand Bones" adapted from a big IP at that time was already a very good resource, and Chen Duling's performance was undoubtedly worthy of the show!
Under the rough and cheap clothing style, Chen Duling relied on his good looks to support the role of Hua Qiangu! Not only does Chen Duling still have a good reputation in ancient costumes, but he also has many merits in his control and grasp of the role. From a little white flower who has never been in the world, to a blackened character after suffering many doubts and betrayals, this setting of growth and contrast is vividly interpreted by Chen Duling.
Then there is Mao Zijun, who plays Sha Qianmo in the film. Mao Zijun, who is recognized as a male god in ancient costumes, although this time his overall makeup is in a demonic style and failed to show his elegant and fairy side, but with his excellent character creation ability, Mao Zijun still made "Killing Qianmo" "This role was accurately interpreted, especially the various emotional scenes in the middle and later stages, which made people's eyes shine.
There is no doubt that although the movie version of "A Thousand Bones" failed miserably at the box office, Chen Duling and Mao Zijun can still leave with their heads high!
Looking back at the examples of fairy tale dramas adapted into movies over the years, there is no doubt that they have all fallen into a strange circle! In terms of plot, dozens of episodes of the TV series were forcibly compressed into a two-hour movie, so it is understandable to make corresponding adaptations. But whether it was the previous "Zhu Xian 1" or this time's movie version "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", it was obvious that they had not been successfully adapted! Coupled with the aesthetic sense that I don’t know where to come from, I forcibly presented a fairy-style work in the style of a martial arts film. Not only did it lose the beauty of the fairy-tale style, but it was also full of roughness, which made it hard to describe. .
The disastrous failure of the film version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" may also be a wake-up call for all subsequent works! What do you think of this? Welcome to leave a private message and let’s communicate together!
