Yes, "Assassination Novelist 2" has made its debut.
Note that this time it is not just a rumor, but a grand and official announcement of the launch, the release of the first concept poster, and the cast is also directly in front of the audience.
I don’t know if you still remember the previous work of this movie, " Assassins the Novelist ".
Although the reputation of the first film was severely polarized after its release, with a Douban score of less than 7 points, its popularity cannot be underestimated.
has been rated by 660,000 people, and the box office revenue was more than 1 billion 4 years ago.
You need to know that year, but there were heavyweight players such as "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Tang Detective 3" participating. It was already very good to break through 1 billion without a top star.
I thought this movie was finished at that time, but I didn’t expect that after 4 years, there would be a sequel.
Compared with the previous one, what is the difference between "Assassination of Novelists 2" and is it worth watching?
Don't worry, the show is about to begin -
dual male protagonists unlimited streaming setting, Dong Zijian and Lei Jiayin return
The previous part of "Assassination of Novelists" is actually a complete story.
The process of the novel affects the real world. This super imaginative imagination and the collision of styles from the two eras once made the audience addicted to it.
The second part continues this series of characters, but it will open a new chapter.
In the first part, Dong Zijian plays the author, plus the male protagonist in his novel.
In the second part, he will return again as the author Lu Kongwen.
At this time, he entered a low period in his life and was tempted by huge benefits.
Lu Kongwen himself and the male protagonist in the novel were both in crisis. At this time, the door to dual world adventure opens, and the two people may meet in a certain world.
This is perhaps the biggest difference between the second part and the previous one.
Because the previous author and the male protagonist of the novel were played by one person, what we saw was always the villain’s persecution of the male protagonist.
However, when the writer and the male protagonist have an intersection, the dimensional wall is broken invisibly, the two straight lines represented by the two people will be clearer, and the story will be richer.
At the same time, Lei Jiayin will also return for the second part.
It’s just that he has changed from a leading male lead to three special appearances.
Yu Hewei did not appear in the cast list this time. I guess Lei Jiayin is likely to take up the banner of the villain and play a more important role in it.
At the same time, there have been some changes in the production team.
Director Lu Yang arrived as scheduled. It seems that he has already started planning "Assassination of Novelists 2" after filming "The Wind Rises in Longxi".
The screenwriter became Li Zelin, who has created "The Sky of the Wind Dog Boy" and " Lion Boy " on Douban, both of which scored more than 8 points.
So even if the plot has not been fully revealed, the adaptation of the script is relatively high quality.
Whether it is the character design or the plot direction, it is considered a breath of fresh air in the Chinese film and television drama market, which also represents strict requirements for post-production technology.
Similar ideas may be associated with the Korean drama "W-Two Worlds", but "Assassination Novelist 2" focuses on suspense and infinite streaming, and it should be more thrilling.
I only hope that the second part can be more online in terms of script design and production than the first one. I hope that Director Lu Yang can create a new track in domestic films.
Deng Chao strongly joined, Yang Mi was kicked out
In fact, after the official announcement of "Assassination of Novelist 2", the most focus actually fell on Yang Mi and Deng Chao.
As the second heroine in the first film, it stands to reason that given Yang Mi’s celebrity status and her desire to break into the film industry, she will definitely not miss the second film.
However, this time there is really no her name.
Of course, being kicked out was not unexpected.
Whether it is acting skills or reputation, the resources Yang Mi has access to now are definitely incomparable to those before.
After all, there are three hits in a year. Among them, the movie " Nothing Can't Be Solved by Hot Pot " tanked at the box office and received a lot of criticism, which shows that Yang Mi's appeal has not been that strong for a long time.
In the second part, it is Xin Zhilei who replaces Yang Mi as the new heroine.
Although it is a bit surprising, it is understandable.
Xin Zhilei’s popularity has skyrocketed this year, which is not unreasonable.
Starting from " Blossoms ", she has relied on her strong personal charm and the third female position to be able to perfectly get out of the circle, and she is even so beautiful that people will never forget her.
In variety shows, she has attracted countless fans because of her true nature without any pretense.
In this summer season, Xin Zhilei directly cooperated with Xu Zheng and became the heroine of the summer blockbuster.
Although " Retrograde Life " has a mediocre box office reputation, Xin Zhilei's acting skills really surprised me.
In a movie that seems to be about a counterattack by the male protagonist, Xin Zhilei is not blocked at all.
's crying scene without warning made my eyes shine even more. The performance is so delicate and it can't be wrong in "Assassination of Novelists 2".
Of course, what everyone is most looking forward to is Deng Chao’s joining.
has been quiet for so many years, but it became popular as soon as it came back.
I think many viewers are worried about whether Dong Zijian can handle it. In fact, Deng Chao is the male protagonist of "Assassination Novelist 2".
I guess that Brother Chao will most likely play the male protagonist in the author's novel, and this male protagonist passively follows the plot from the beginning, gradually develops independent consciousness and then awakens, and finally saves the two worlds together with the author. With a plot like
, Deng Chao is destined to achieve many highlight scenes.
And "Assassination of Novelists 2" is actually not the only trump card in Deng Chao's hands. He has a workplace drama "Win the Vault" that has not yet been officially announced.
At the same time, the large-scale costume historical film "Sea of Salmon" has been officially announced before and is expected to be released to the audience after the second half of this year.
has not yet fully debuted, but it already has three hits. It seems that next year's movie market is likely to be the "Year of Deng Chao".
I don’t know what kind of surprises his cooperation with Dong Zijian and Lei Jiayin can bring.
Conclusion
kicked out Yang Mi and brought in Xin Zhilei, and the young actor Wang Shengdi also helped out.
When the three male actors Deng Chao, Dong Zijian and Lei Jiayin came together, I even had a picture of the three of them in the same frame in my mind.
However, if "Assassination Novelist 2" wants to continue its former glory, there are two difficulties that lie ahead.
One is how to improve the quality of your own pictures.
In fact, when the previous film was released, many viewers complained about the visual effects of the film.
After so many years, the film market has developed rapidly, and everyone has seen the emergence of good works. However, "Assassination Novelist 2" must keep up with the times in order to gain the most basic recognition.
The second is the grasp of the main storyline of two men.
If you want to be suspenseful, you can't deliberately suppress the sense of suspense. Only when the story is told clearly and does not deliberately make things mysterious can the audience be drawn into it.
I wonder if you are looking forward to this new movie by Deng Chao?
