The work that bears witness to the friendship between "Three Golden Movie Queens" Zhou Xun and "Melancholy Boy" Chen Kun should be "Painted Skin" released in 2008.
's "Painted Skin" back then was stunning in terms of plot, special effects, and imagination. Immediately afterwards, the two collaborated in "Painted Skin 2" in 2012, which also made Zhou Xun and Chen Kun completely immortal and became representatives of the acting school.
I never thought that after so many years, someone would actually remake their classic work, and this person is also a big star who was as famous as the two of them: Gillian (Gillian Chung).
When Gillian was at her peak, she was not inferior to Zhou Xun in terms of fame or popularity. I never thought that more than ten years later, the two people who used to have the same popularity would actually go to two extremes.
Zhou Xun has become everyone's favorite acting star, the "Three Golden Movie Queens", while Gillian's career has declined after encountering some incidents in the entertainment industry, and she has now become an online drama actor.
That’s right, it’s a remake of Zhou Xun’s classic “New Painted Skin”, produced by an online film company called “Painted Skin: Love Is Destroyed”.
is a "remake" work. Although it is produced by a major Internet company, since Gillian was invited, it naturally has its own "charm".
First of all, "Painted Skin: Love Is Destroyed" recreates the scene where Zhou Xun became a god: the hug from behind by the "Painted Skin Sisters".
I have to admit that this scene with Zhou Xun was both horrifying and "interesting and meaningful".
It's just that the two "painted-skinned monsters" can never understand love, nor can they understand men.
Therefore, as a "remake" work, "Painted Skin: Love Dies" reproduces this scene.
However, the gap between Gillian's version of "re-enactment" and Zhou Xun's embrace back then is too big.
Of course, one is a top-notch blockbuster with a large investment of hundreds of millions, and the other is just a "big Internet work" released on a streaming media platform. There is a gap in special effects and visual effects, which is completely reasonable.
What's more, although Gillian's version of "Painted Skin: Love Destroyed" is a remake of "Painted Skin" and is marked with "Painted Skin IP", even the male protagonist's name is Wang Sheng.
However, to a certain extent, the plot direction and character design of Gillian's "Painted Skin" are completely different from those of Zhou Xun's "Painted Skin".
Although they are both "Painted Skin", the two versions are still very different in terms of plot direction. It is equivalent to watching a brand new work, but borrowing the "Painted Skin IP".
On this point, it is pretty good among remakes.
Gillian's version of "Painted Skin" mainly tells the story: The dragon girl A Ruo (played by Gillian) fell in love with the mortal Wang Sheng, and wanted to become a mortal and be with Wang Sheng.
As a result, after landing ashore, Aruo was attacked by the fox demon Xiaoman. Then Wangsheng was confused by Xiaoman. Xiaoman hurt Wangsheng and prepared to steal Wangsheng's heart (stealing in the physical sense). In the end, Aruo could not There is no need to use his most precious spiritual leaves to repair Wang Sheng's heart.
Zhou Xun's "Painted Skin" presents the plot more based on the different views of "human nature" between the two banshees and Wang Sheng.
"Painted Skin: Love Destroyed" mainly talks about love and family affection, as well as the warmth and coldness of the world and other warm things.
In addition, Gillian's appearance is also very good. After gaining weight, Gillian gives people a fleshy and cute look. In addition, she is middle-aged, and she has the charm of a voluptuous beauty, which makes people like her. Gillian like
has also won the recognition of the audience.
As soon as "Painted Skin: Love Destroyed" was released, it directly won the "box office champion" position among major Internet works.
Only those who are slightly fat are the best. Gillian perfectly demonstrates this law.
