Recently, it coincides with the "small holiday" on the weekend, and many films such as "The Wandering Blade", "Stuntman", "Morning Clouds and Mud Rain", "April Girlfriend" have been officially released, and the domestic film market has once again ushered in a wave of "small climax" !
Among them, the most anticipated work is undoubtedly the drama film "Morning Cloud and Muyu" co-starring "Best Actor" Fan Wei and "Queen" Zhou Dongyu. However, after the film was officially released, it failed to stir up any waves. .
The film only had a box office of 3.27 million on its first day of release. It was nowhere to be seen on the domestic real-time box office charts, and the Douban comments section was all negative with one-star reviews.
This also makes people sigh: without Zhang Yimou, has Zhou Dongyu really become the "king of bad movies"? One movie will be released, and the other will hit the streets!
But without exaggerating, "Morning Cloud and Muyu" can be regarded as a "good" movie, and the plot setting is also quite dramatic.
But the casting of the film is really a bit outrageous. Who would want to watch Fan Wei and Zhou Dongyu, two actors with "huge age spans", stage a "forgettable love" in the cinema.
To be honest, the editor believes that many viewers choose to "avoid lightning" because of the actors.
The film focuses on Lao Qin (played by Fan Wei), a released prisoner who finally regained his freedom after spending a long 27 years in prison. He longs to start a new life, marry a wife, have children, and live a peaceful life.
However, fate did not seem to give him this opportunity. After being released from prison, he unexpectedly met Chang Juan (played by Zhou Dongyu), a girl who had also just been released from prison.
The two of them had their own purposes, Lao Qin wanted a son and Chang Juan wanted money, thus starting a complicated marriage of interest.
This kind of marriage with different motives undoubtedly adds strong dramatic tension to the film, but it is also this setting that many viewers find difficult to accept.
In addition, since Zhou Dongyu left Zhang Yimou, this "Mou Girl" has begun to decline, and many viewers have even questioned its "box office appeal".
Especially after winning the "Third Golden Best Actress Award" with "Young You", she began to engage in "literary arts". From the "three-dimensional explosion" "Burning Winter" and "large-scale bloody scenes" to "Hot Search" and then to "Parrot Killing", these works are all without exception, almost everyone is on the street, and the box office performance has plummeted.
But it is no exaggeration that the poor box office performance of the movie "Morning Cloud and Mu Yu" has nothing to do with Zhou Dongyu. To be honest, the editor was surprised by Zhou Dongyu's performance in the film.
This is also the first time she has challenged such a difficult role, and her rivalry with veteran actor Fan Wei is also full of tension.
She vividly displayed Chang Juan's inner struggles and contradictions with her delicate performance. Especially in the scene where Chang Juan is in a vegetative state and lying on the hospital bed after her disappearance, Zhou Dongyu used her superb acting skills to make the audience feel the despair and helplessness in the character's heart.
's performance is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough for her acting skills, and it has also gained her more recognition among movie fans.
However, even with powerful actors like Zhou Dongyu and Fan Wei joining the cast, the box office performance of "Morning Cloud and Muyu" was still poor.
The reason for this is not only that the setting of "Forever Love" is difficult for the audience to accept, but also the quality of the film itself.
Although the film is adapted from the true story "The Murderous Girl in a Wedding Dress", it seems that the essence of the original work was not well grasped during the adaptation process.
The narrative of the film is too long and the pace is slow, making it difficult for the audience to feel involved.
At the same time, the film also has some problems in character creation. The images of the two protagonists, Lao Qin and Chang Juan, appear too thin and lack depth and layering. These problems affected the audience's perception of the film, resulting in poor box office performance.
Generally speaking, the box office failure of "Morning Cloud and Muyu" is no accident. The film has certain problems in terms of plot setting, character creation, and narrative rhythm.
But this is the fault of the script and the crew, and has nothing to do with the actors. Sure enough, even if "good actors" join, it will be difficult to restore the decline of the film itself.
Do you think "Chaoyun Muyu" is good to watch? How did the actors perform in the film? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
