On April 4th, the long holiday officially started, and the cinema ushered in the long-lost excitement.
As of eight o'clock in the evening, the box office of the entire market has exceeded 300 million. Among them, " What kind of life do you want to live " accounted for half of the box office . There is no doubt that it is the dark horse of the theater chain during this short holiday.
In addition to being number one, there is another movie released today that caught my attention, and that is the movie "The Villain" starring Bao Bell .
This movie actually had enough publicity before it was released.
There are related funny clips on all major platforms, but after its release, it was too disappointing. only had a box office of more than 7 million, and was not as high as the re-released " Let's Shake the Sun Together ".
Actually, after watching this new movie by Bao Beier, two thoughts came to my mind.
One is "another remake", and the other is "it's okay, almost the same as " Hot and Spicy ".
In the past five years, looking at Bao Beier's acting record, the movie should be his ninth remake of . The number of remakes like
is quite explosive in the entire entertainment industry. Perhaps the poor box office performance has something to do with this.
Do you still remember Bao Beier's remake of the most popular movie " "Big" Man "?
In this work, Bao Beier changed many viewers' stereotypes about him. For a moment, he even felt that he had acting skills. At that time, Bao Beier had a good reputation at the box office and reputation.
But just when everyone thought he was going to successfully change his acting route, he seemed to be confused by some illusions about the remake.
has made several similar movies, but as you can imagine, none of them have been able to achieve greater success. has also been dubbed the "King of Bad Movies" by everyone.
Still following the old rules, let’s first understand the story background of this new film.
mainly tells the story of the male protagonist Bi Chao (played by Bao Beier), who is a bit actor. He hopes that he will get a good role one day. Maybe God also saw his efforts and gave him a role as the "big villain". Opportunity.
But an accident suddenly happened, leaving Bi Chao to only retain the memory of being a villain, and then a series of funny scenes happened.
After watching this plot, I felt that it was inexplicably familiar. Later, after being reminded by netizens, I remembered that was similar to the French movie "Who is the Superhero", and was only used by the male characters in the film. The Lord's setting has undergone some changes.
This French movie will be released in 2022. It is also a niche work in China. The Douban score is not too high, only 7.4 points. The plot is similar to "The Villain", but the male protagonist in the original film has amnesia. Later, he thought he was a great hero and acted chivalrously and righteously everywhere.
Judging from the audience's evaluation, this French comedy is not bad overall and is more in line with the public's movie viewing needs. If
were to be remade, it would be boring. After all, it would take time, energy, and money to watch such a movie with a similar plot. might as well just watch the original movie on your mobile phone at home to feel better. .
In fact, in the past few years, domestic movies have tended to be remakes. Among them, the most successful one should be Jia Ling . Take the recent movie "Hot and Spicy" as an example. Regardless of the funny level or the texture, it is really the same. There's not much difference in "The Villain."
However, the box office of "Hot and Furious" can reach 3.46 billion. . If "The Villain" continues to achieve such results, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even break 100 million. Why is there such a big difference for the same remake?
Bao Beier can no longer be compared with Jia Ling. Although they are both comedies and turned directors, they are actually very different.
First of all, Jia Ling has a good popularity with the audience, and there are no scandals about her in the industry;
Secondly, the success of the previous "Li Huanying" has laid a huge foundation for her, and finally, the marketing method is exchanged for 100 pounds of her own flesh. .
However, back to reality, if Jia Ling’s subsequent works still use remakes, the box office will definitely become worse and worse . After all, the audience is not a fool, and they will get tired after watching too many remakes.
After this defeat, Bao Beier should start to reflect. Remake is not the final solution, and you are not called "Jia Ling".
