"Qiao Yan's Thoughts" is scheduled to be released after the popular National Day and New Year's Day dates in October, starring Zhao Liying and Xin Zhilei . On its opening day, "Qiao Yan's Mind" ranked second at the box office, right behind the American blockbuster "Venom: The Last Dance". But the box office on the opening day was only 29 million, and the platform predicted that the total box office would be just over 100 million. In other words, the movie "Qiao Yan's Mind" will not do well at the box office. If you want to ask why, it is naturally because the movie is too bad.

1. Promotional fraud

First of all, the promotion does not match the content. Not all movies can be labeled with suspense. In the

trailer, " Qiao Yan's Thoughts " is labeled as the main heroine. Although the two sisters are very close in the trailer, they each have their own secrets in their hearts. The "evil girl" sisters pull each other and look good. Have feelings.

Moreover, in the trailer clip, "Qiao Yan's Mind" is also full of suspense. The protagonist Qiao Yan is a girl from a small town. After hard work, she finally became a star, but she lived a cautious life. Later, she received a blackmail message saying that she was going to expose her previous scandal, and her sister who had disappeared for a long time also appeared. It seemed like a coincidence, but there was a bigger secret hidden behind it.

There are many doubts in the promotion of "Qiao Yan's Mind", but in fact it tells an extremely ordinary story. The director tried to use various means to make it appear fuller, but unfortunately in the end he used too much force.

The plot of "Qiao Yan's Mind" is this in a nutshell: There used to be an eldest daughter named Qiao Yan (played by Xin Zhilei) in the family. Later, her mother gave birth to a younger sister (played by Zhao Liying), but her father did not want to lose his job because of her sister. , I asked my mother to abort it. As a result, my mother died, but my sister survived. In order to keep his job, his father refused to register his sister and sent her to Myanmar.

One day, when their sister came home to help cut sugar cane, the two sisters wanted to take the opportunity to join forces and kill their father. The two sisters thought their father was dead. The elder sister wants to go to Myanmar to find her boyfriend, while the younger sister pretends to be her elder sister and sneaks away to study. But in the end, the father did not actually die. Instead, he accidentally drowned on the way to catch up with the two sisters.

The timeline returned to the present. My sister married that man in Myanmar and had a child, but her life was not satisfactory. His elder sister came to Beijing to look for him and met his younger sister. A lot of things happened during this period, such as the man blackmailing his sister, the sister hiring someone to send him away, the sister asking her to borrow money for him, etc.

It can be seen that the plot of the movie is about the life gap between a pair of sisters after they switch identities and their adventures for money, but it drags on to two hours. In order to prolong the series, a sex scandal involving an investor and an actress was inserted, which made people feel embarrassed. Due to the collapse of the plot, the characters' behavior has no clue and can only be explained by plot reversal. Finally, ending with love and peace and returning to the family is so nonsense!

Although this film was shortlisted for the Tokyo International Film Festival, the director obviously had ambitions to win awards. Unfortunately, the finished product did not reach the level of a pure literary film, but instead made the audience feel a bit different. Director

always wants to leave room for the audience's imagination when filming. When watching some shots, the audience always feels that there are some hints or metaphors hidden in them. As a result, the whole film feels very bland after watching it. There is no suspense element in it, except that the movie does not explain the cause but tells the outcome first, it doesn't look like a suspense film at all.

2. The actors are weak

The name of the movie is "Qiao Yan's Mind", and the protagonist Qiao Yan is played by Zhao Liying, so the performance of this actor is particularly important. Qiao Yan's emotional changes and life experiences determine whether this film is good or bad, which also means that Zhao Liying's performance is crucial.

However, the audience's response to Zhao Liying's performance was mixed. Some people praised her emotional grasp and interpretation of the character's temperament, thinking that she cleverly added a lot of color to the mediocre plot; while others criticized her performance for being too bland, like It's repeating the same old performance routine.

Zhao Liying's previous performance in " Road to Fire " was acceptable, but this film gave too many face-shaking scenes. When expressing anxiety or worry, her eyes and facial lines seemed to have been fixed, although she is here She has some control over her performance, but the big screen often magnifies these details, and she needs to further hone her acting skills. Overall, Zhao Liying's acting performance in this film is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

The second heroine Xin Zhilei has sacrificed herself to support the protagonist, but Xin Zhilei's acting skills are obviously higher than Zhao Liying's in more than one level. This arrangement is a waste of Xin Zhilei's acting skills.

In addition to Xin Zhilei, Huang Jue also performed well in the movie, but unfortunately they couldn't save this thin script.
