The new film collaborated by Chen Sicheng and Liu Haoran is released!
From the " Beijing Love Story " to the " Chinatown Detective " series, every work that Chen Sicheng and Liu Haoran have collaborated on has achieved outstanding results, which also made the audience appreciate the new work " decrypted " by the two. 》High hopes. Unfortunately, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
"Decryption" tells the story of the mathematical genius Rong Jinzhen. The presentation method uses a mixture of reality and dreams. The content of the dream can be understood as Rong Jinzhen's subconscious, and this part makes the audience feel the director Chen Sicheng's lack of imagination. The images in the dream have no deep meaning and are too straightforward to be worth analyzing and recalling. This also leads to The content of the video cannot trigger a higher degree of discussion.
The result of the straightforward and simple content is that the plot is boring. The most common comments given by viewers who have watched the movie are that the movie is ugly, the plot has no sense of logic, the emotional line is inexplicable, the male protagonist is thin, and the portrayal of the female image is even worse. Very stereotyped.
In addition to the development of the plot being too routine and predictable, some viewers said that director Chen Sicheng was too showy when filming "Decryption" and did not pursue scientific logic. Instead, he desperately used artistic techniques to advance the plot and make the film more enjoyable. Even more incomprehensible.
Because "Decryption" is adapted from Mai Jia's novel of the same name, in order to fit the original work and restore the characters, the male lead Liu Haoran made bold attempts in styling to subvert the previous image. Publicity has also followed this direction, and once released a video of Pan Yueming not recognizing Liu Haoran's drastically changed image when he arrived at the filming site. When
was announced, it was used to show that the actors are dedicated and that the filming of the film was done with great care. But when it was released, the film suffered a backlash. The big screen of the cinema magnified everything. Liu Haoran's attempt to subvert his image and look ugly not only failed to win the appreciation of the audience, but also caused discomfort to the audience. People said that "every time he is shot, it feels like torture." Some viewers even asked the filmmakers not to use the excuse of being close to the original work, thereby ignoring the perception and making Liu Haoran so ugly that people don't want to watch it a second time.
Various reasons make the box office trend of "Decryption" worrying. The two major ticket sales platforms predicted a sharp drop in box office. Some Eyes' predicted total box office dropped from 768 million on the first day of release to 501 million. The relatively conservative Certain Eyes also dropped from 493 million on the first day of release to 458 million. "Decryption" 》Now the total box office is on the trend of maintaining four and three.
Seeing the current box office trend of "Decryption", people can't help but sigh, "To be honest, I thought I would pounce, but I never thought I could pounce so big and lose all my money." Previously, some netizens broke the news that the total investment in the project of "Decryption" was 450 million yuan, and the target box office was 3 billion. Now the cost plus publicity and distribution is about 550 million, and the total box office is expected to be not as high as the cost.
It is fundamental for a film to tell a good story. Whether it is the director's shooting skills or the actors' makeup, they all play an icing on the cake based on the solid foundation of the script.Isn't the unsatisfactory box office performance of "Decryption" a wake-up call for directors in the current film industry who pursue "form" and ignore plot logic?
