In late January 2024, Chen Duling came with his new "big movie" "花千 Bone".
As the first work of the "Master and Disciple Cultivation" in the past 20 years, "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" not only made Zhao Liying popular, but also became a "super IP" in itself.
Chen Duling's remake of such a "big IP" is destined to reap traffic dividends, but may also suffer from traffic backlash.
As expected, the box office of Chen Duling's version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" can be described as a smash hit. The box office was just over 6 million in 9 days of release.
is a work that claims to have an investment of 100 million, and its box office performance can already be described as "bloody".
The box office is losing money, and this reputation...
An audience member gave a very good review: Chen Duling's "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" gives people a feeling of distress no matter who dies in the play. .
The sixth princess of CCTV also shouted the slogan "The worst start of the year" without mercy.
From reviews like this, we can see how hard it is to take a direct look at the reputation of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".
Regarding the major and even magical changes to the plot of Chen Duling's version of "Flower Thousand Bones", Chen Duling's temperament is too cold and ignorant to match the ignorance of "Flower Thousand Bones", as well as other errors in the casting, the audience has commented received varying degrees of criticism.
But while the viewers were criticizing, the starring actors of this drama also came off the stage to give their own opinions.
The words of the starring team are: they also know that the plot changes are very huge, and this is worthy of the audience's expectations that "Duling Chen's version of "Flower Thousand Bones" can surpass "Zhao Liying's version of "Flower Thousand Bones"" .
However, Chen Duling's version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" was not prepared to surpass anyone from the beginning. Part of the reason for changing the plot was to stagger the "relationship" between the two dramas. Therefore, the audience is also asked to give the film A chance to create a version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".
After the starring cast of Chen Duling's version spoke out, the starring actors of Zhao Liying's version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" Jiang Xin, Zhang Danfeng and Marco also stepped forward to support Chen Duling's version of "A Thousand Bones". "Flower Thousand Bones" corrects its name.
Regarding the audience's criticism of Chen Duling's version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", Jiang Xin said straightforwardly: Come with me to the theater to review. The support is very obvious.
Jiang Xin's acting skills are impeccable. The Xia Zixun she starred in in Zhao Liying's version is one of the "Five Great Immortals". She has profound cultivation and active mind. Jiang Xin performed this role vividly and became a classic.
And because Chen Duling's version of "Flower Thousand Bones" downplays the existence of "Zixun Shangxian", this is one of the reasons why this version has been criticized. Jiang Xin's voice has a negative impact on Chen Duling's version of "Flower Thousand Bones" It is undoubtedly a timely help.
After Jiang Xin supported Chen Duling's version of "A Thousand Bones," Zhang Danfeng, who played Dongfang Yuqing in Zhao Liying's version of "A Thousand Bones," also came out to support Chen Duling.
Zhang Danfeng said that the creation process of this film was full of many challenges, but the main creative staff still worked hard to present it with expectations. The implication is that we all worked hard during the filming and everyone should support us.
An Yuexi also had similar views to Zhang Danfeng, and also emphasized the intentions of the creative team.
It was also the leading actors in Zhao Liying's version of "A Thousand Bones" who sided with Chen Duling. After the reputation of "A Thousand Bones" declined, it quickly aroused a new round of "controversy": What is the work? Whether a movie is good or bad should only be judged by box office and word of mouth, and whether it is judged by box office and word of mouth.
Some people support the views of the original protagonists of Zhao Liying's version: the core of a good movie is more important.
But more people believe that word-of-mouth and box office are the only criteria to determine whether a movie is good or bad. If the audience doesn't pay, what's the point of talking about the core?
