[Article / Observer Net Guo Xiao] The first trailer of " First Burning Incense ", which has been controversial due to the casting, is finally here. Not surprisingly, it is all complaints...
is here, pale and thin female college student And the half-blood brother? Isn't it the love story of Xiangzi and Huniu? It is more appropriate to call "First Furnace Steel".
"The First Incense" is Zhang Ailing's early novels. It was published in "Violet" magazine in 1943. It tells the story of Shanghai female middle school student Ge Weilong.
Ge Weilong went to Hong Kong to study and stayed at the house of his aunt Mrs. Leung. She was used by Mrs. Leung as a bait to attract men, and gradually became addicted to the drunkenness. Later, Ge Weilong was attracted by the playboy Qiao Qiqiao. Under the design of Mrs. Liang, she married Qiao Qiqiao and became a tool for making money.
At the end of 2018, Hong Kong director Xu Anhua decided to remake this work, Wang Anyi was appointed as the screenwriter, and the heroine was identified as Ma Sichun.
At that time, just before and after the role was determined, Ma Sichun posted on Weibo his feelings after reading "The First Incense", "Love is not the humbleness of one person, but the bravery of two people."
Many netizens said that after reading this passage, they felt very chicken soup, and they couldn't match the theme of Zhang Ailing's novel.
and netizens ridicule Ma Sichun that any book can be read as youth sad literature, Ma Sichun directly replied to the other party, "If I was 60 years old and thought everything was a youth novel, I think I would be a happy person." To interpret a role, an actor must first understand the role. Can Ma Sichun play Ge Weilong well?
This doubt has not been dispelled yet, and the next doubt comes again.
In February of last year, Ma Sichun revealed on Weibo that he was going to lose weight for the next movie. In May, after the filming started, there were live photos of Ge Weilong, who was plain and beautiful, with long and charming eyes, and pale and thin. Waist round...
was questioned by netizens at the time. In the original work, Ge Weilong was used by his aunt Mrs. Liang as a bait to attract men. But this is it? Afraid you can't be a bait, right? What's more, Yu Feihong, who plays Mrs. Liang, is always known for her intellectual and beauty.
In August, the film was finalized. At the end of the month, when Ma Sichun appeared at the press conference of another work, it was still like this;
Not only that, Ma Sichun seemed to be on the bar with Zhang Ailing. In October, she appeared in "I Am an Actor". " Gu Manzhen in Zhang Ailing's other work "Half Life" is played. On the scene of
, Li Liqun, an actor who participated in "Half Life", said that many of Zhang Ailing’s works are not just about presenting a love story, but emphasizing the situation of women in such a feudal society. Love talks about how a woman's situation needs to be taken seriously.
However, when talking about the fate of Gu Manzhen, the heroine of Half-Life, Ma Sichun once again fell into the feelings of "youth hurt", "I hope she will be brave".
She also bluntly said, "I was questioned when I acted in a play ("The First Incense"), but then I still think it is more important that I want to do this."
may be the hero Peng Yuyan This movie is rarely mentioned. Therefore, when talking about "The First Incense", the main complaint is on the heroine Ma Sichun.
Yesterday, the first trailer for the movie was released, and most netizens expressed disillusionment. First of all, in the casting, I can’t substitute at all. I originally thought Ma Sichun was inappropriate, but I didn’t expect Peng Yuyan to be even more appropriate...
Don’t talk about the love story between a playboy and a female college student. The lady who is a nanny...
Some netizens made a picture: Isn’t this the fat tiger sister and the husband?
also has these "non-mainstream" copywriting in the trailer, which also makes most of the netizens outrageous.
This year coincides with the 100th anniversary of Zhang Ailing’s birth. The broadcast of "First Incense" at this moment has met the needs of many literary lovers to a certain extent. The film’s music producer Ryuichi Sakamoto and photography director Du Kefeng are also in the industry. Is a big-name figure. From this point of view, "The First Incense" can be described as the right time and place.
However, just judging from the reaction of the trailer, what is the food made with such exquisite ingredients, I am afraid that it will disappoint.
