Wu Ershan's movie " Under the Stranger " has finally been released after many days of pre-heating. The pre-heating before the movie was released was unprecedentedly grand, so many netizens speculated that this movie may become the king of summer movies. fry.
Wu Ershan's last movie "Feng Shen" was a hit all over the Internet last summer, firmly occupying the forefront of the box office, and earning more than 2 billion in box office.
And his "Under the Stranger" this time has a luxurious lineup and is escorted by well-known directors.
The IP of the movie itself is still a masterpiece in the Chinese comic industry, and it has a huge fan base in the market. Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as the movie does not make any mistakes in values, the box office performance should be very impressive.
But after the movie was released, there were more negative reviews than positive reviews.
First of all, some netizens questioned that the subject matter is empty and puts the cart before the horse, as if showing off skills is everything in the movie.
Some of the plot elements that should really be there are very scarce. Moreover, the film's casting was wrong, and the appearance of the heroine Li Wantan was relatively controversial.
Many netizens said that Li Wantan has a Southeast Asian style appearance, which is very suitable for the roles of some indigenous girls.
However, Feng Baobao in the original comic "Under the Stranger" has a fair complexion and a very delicate and cute face.
In the drama version of "Under the Stranger", Feng Baobao has exquisite facial features and a white complexion, which is more in line with the setting of the original work. However, Li Wantan's roughness is incompatible with Feng Baobao.
At the same time, "Under the Stranger" has many loyal fans of the original work.
The more works there are fans of the original work, the more it may be necessary to restore the work itself, and it will take a certain amount of time to restore the original work, otherwise it is likely to receive fierce ridicule.
But "Under the Stranger" failed to achieve this. There are many plots in it that are not in line with the original work.
For example, there is a scene in the movie where Feng Baobao is stepped on by someone from the Quanxing sect.
This scene made many fans of the original work unacceptable, because according to Feng Baobao's combat power, she has never been defeated by anyone from the Quanxing faction.
Many netizens asked whether Wu Ershan was a Quanxing sect, otherwise he would not have arranged such a plot for Feng Baobao.
In this movie, there is still competition for female roles. The supporting actress Na Ran has a lot more roles than the heroine Li Wantan. As early as when the movie was preheating, she made her debut with a set of highlights.
Because she plays the all-sexual beauty character Xia He, a bone scraper. This character usually focuses on charm skills, is coquettish and sexy, and has bright pink hair.
But Xia He's seemingly sexy appearance also hides a deep personality. She is also the person who makes Zhang Lingyu break her vows and fall in love.
If this character is well portrayed, he may be more able to attract the audience than Feng Baobao.
But the biggest feeling that many netizens have after watching the movie is that this movie makes Naran show off her sexiness too much. Although it is consistent with the original work, it only performs sexiness and does not show the deep soul of this character, and there is no way to win the audience's attention. like.
The personality charm of the entire character is not as good as that of the original work. Only the hot pants, long boots and sultry movements caught the audience's attention. The role is similar to the vase in a Hollywood blockbuster. It cannot rely on the character to form fan stickiness and achieve higher box office results.
In addition, this "Under the Stranger" also faces aesthetic problems, giving people the impression that a lot of elements are piled up. Wuershan has been questioned before about his excessive love of Mongolian elements and the use of ethnic minorities more than the application of modern elements.
This time, his aesthetic level also overturned.
was supposed to be a blockbuster, but it was not as good as the web drama version. Even the first poster of the movie looked like an online game, full of cheapness and messy layout.
Therefore, under the influence of various reasons, "Under the Stranger" has received more negative reviews. Today is the second day of its release, and the box office trend does not look optimistic.
As a work with multiple stars and famous directors, this box office trend can be said to be a hit.
