However, the ratings of movies on Douban have become polarized. As of press time, nearly 20,000 netizens have rated the movies, 28.5% of the five-star ratings and 22.1% of the one-star ratings. It should be noted that the movie On the morning of the 13th, it was still 6.8 points, but in the afternoon, it dropped to 6.4 points. This shows that most of the five-star fans are fans of novels and Xiao Zhan. As the average audience who watched the movie increased, the score of the movie slowly declined. This shows that the movie did not satisfy the audience.
So what are the problems with the movie? How about the performance of starring Xiao Zhan?
The story is not finished, the movie lacks a climax
To be fair, "Zhu Xian I" has the basis of the novel, which has constructed a very grand world view. The screenwriter is as close to the original as possible in the process of adapting the script, so the film is in the rhythm of grasping It’s not bad. Although there are scrap scenes, there are no obvious peeing spots. Some humorous elements are also more successful. Every time in the theater, there will be laughter. For example, Xiao Zhan and Meng Meiqi's scenes in the cave, Xiao Zhan thinks he is himself The dog was roasted and eaten, and the scene made the audience roar with laughter; in addition, the master played by Qiu Xinzhi was also more eye-catching, and every time he was funny, he never failed.
But the problem is that "Zhu Xian I" played the same routine as "Chibi" and "Tai Ping Wheel". It may be worried about losing money, so the original "Zhu Xian" was later changed to "Zhu Xian I", which means that the movie was Split into at least two upper and lower parts, so this one has been laying the groundwork. Until the end, the vicious fight between Decent and Demon Cult is a small climax. However, the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan feels that his life is only open and the movie is over. The audience can only wait. Pay another penny for the tickets when the lower part is shown.
This directly leads to the feeling that the movie has been paving the way for people without a climax, and there is no conflict between the actions and the characters that should be imagined. Therefore, "Zhu Xian I" is not a big blockbuster in the true sense. It is wiser for Cheng Xiaodong not to make 3D for the movie. The
action is embroidered with fists and legs, like the party acrobatics
, let go of the actors first, except for the IP of "Zhu Xian", the more anticipated film should be the director Cheng Xiaodong.
Cheng Xiaodong has been in the film industry for decades. He is one of Hong Kong’s best gold medalists. He has designed works such as "New Dragon Inn", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Swordsman" and "Swordsman in the East". In the martial arts genre, Cheng Xiaodong has almost no rivals.
For him, shooting "Zhu Xian" should be handy. From martial arts to Xian Xia, the action style does not need to change much, just use WIA to make the actors look more elegant. But the result? The movie brought disappointment in capitals. The
movie makes people feel that from the director to the action director, there is an obvious lack of imagination, and the action design is not careful. To cite a few very simple examples, many characters flying around in the sky can't see any beauty or detail; the contest is the highlight of the movie, but none of the few fights can be remembered; At the end of the climax scene, everyone confronts the leader of the demon cult. There is no action scene, and it is completely filmed into a game-like spell. Where did Cheng Xiaodong, who filmed "New Dragon Inn" back then? The biggest slot in
's movements appeared in a group of female disciples practicing martial arts. Many people lined up in a row and hung upside down in the air with veils. They seemed to like the acrobatics of a large party. The movie did not have the rigidity of swords, swords, fists and fists.
Of course, he can't let Cheng Xiaodong take the blame, he may not be able to spare it! Throughout the whole movie, it can be said that there is no actor who can play. The young actors are not Lianjiazi, Li Qin, Meng Meiqi and others are even the first time to hang Wia, it is good to be able to complete this basic skill. The old actors, Jiang David, Xu Shaoqiang, Liang Jiaren, etc., were all dedicated practitioners back then, including the guest star Xiong Xinxin. Those who have seen "Huang Feihong" and "Sword" all know how powerful his leg skills are! But now he looks old. "Zhu Xian I" did not play well, but it made fans miss the golden age of Hong Kong movies that year.
Xiao Zhan uses three stand-ins, what can young actors play?
"Zhu Xian" was launched on October 17 last year. At that time, "Chen Qing Ling" was not broadcast, and Xiao Zhan was not as popular as it is now. Just imagine a new actor who received such a big IP movie and starred in the actor, how could he not? Go all out? However, he really didn't go all out.
can be seen from the end caption that Xiao Zhan is using a double in four aspects. Among them, Stylistic and Guangdi are the same stand-in actor, there is another stand-in actor underwater, and there is another stand-in for action. Xiao Zhan uses three stand-ins alone.
Here is the stand-in for popular science.
Generally speaking, doubles are indispensable in movies, especially action and other highly professional performances. It is understandable to find doubles. For example, "God of Gamblers" and other poker-related movies are almost all contracted by Jiang Daohai. He plays cards. It's good, it's the famous "hand substitute" in the circle;
martial artist is also well understood. Some fighting stunt actors can't do it, so they ask for help from stunt actors. Jackie Chan also had a substitute back then. The high-risk action would be performed by the substitute first, and then the details were adjusted. After the feasibility was determined, Jackie Chan would play in person. Therefore, it is understandable that Xiao Zhan used a military substitute in "Zhu Xian"; what about
underwater substitute? Let's just say it's normal, maybe Xiao Zhan can't swim and has bad water quality? It was used anyway.
but style and light substitute are available or not. As the name suggests, many literary plays also use substitutes. The substitutes need to recite the lines that the actors want to say, and then play against the actors of the opposing scenes and rehearse repeatedly. Some shots that do not require a face are directly completed by the substitutes. What about
? For the scenes that need lighting, an actor who is similar in height and figure to Xiao Zhan will stand for him. After the lighting is adjusted, Xiao Zhan will go to battle on his own. Of course, when the avatar is busy, Xiao Zhan can sit. Resting next to me, playing with mobile phones.
This is especially surprising to me. Xiao Zhan, who was not well known at the time, was already like this. I don't know how he will be in filming next?
In addition, you can also find in the movie that Xiao Zhan personally played the scenes, as long as all the actions involved use Wia, even if you are kicked and fell, you must hang it with Wia to prevent yourself from being dropped. .
Some people may say that there is nothing wrong with actors protecting themselves! But his actions like this have seriously affected the performance. Diaoweiya lay down gently, which is completely different from being kicked and thrown. This is not a highly professional movement, why can't it be done? Here I think of Zhao Youting talking about the Lanxin Grand Theater in an interview. He said that when playing against Wang Chuanjun, the other party asked for it to be true. He had a scene that was played by Zhao Youting and repeatedly asked Zhao Youting to be true. The two actors have completely opposite attitudes towards performance.
has been talking about the fault of film talent in recent years. In my opinion, it is not only the five elements and stunt actors, but also the performance concept and fighting spirit of the actors. When young actors fall, they are afraid of pain, and they are afraid of cold. When I stand for a while and get tired, can Chinese movies be saved?
