"The Legend of Chang'an" went straight to the top of the box office of online movies as soon as it was released. Unfortunately, the film's reputation has overturned. It scored 4.8 on Douban, and the Douban comment section was full of one-star reviews. Reasons for the negative reviews from the audience It’s surprisingly consistent!
Although the film starred two well-known actors, Simon Yam and Clara, the performance of the film was not satisfactory. The plot was weak, the actors' performance was poor, and Clara's vulgar "revelation" caused controversy.
1. Although the plot setting is novel, it is not satisfactory
The story of "The Legend of Chang'an" is set in ancient Chang'an. The film is full of suspense and thriller elements. I originally thought that this movie would have great appeal. attraction. However, as the plot unfolds, the audience soon discovers that the so-called "suspense" and "thriller" are just used by the film producers to cover up the emptiness and illogical logic of the plot.
The entire story did not give people a sense of tension during the development process. The characters lacked a three-dimensional sense, and there was no sign of the ups and downs of the plot. While there are some twists, those are just there to fill in the gaps of the plot.
If there is anything else worthy of praise in the film, it is the setting of the scene and the costume design. The beautiful pictures, coupled with the creation of ancient music, made the audience's overall perception of the film slightly better. But it is undeniable that the rich and colorful background cannot conceal the thin plot. What the audience hopes to see is a truly attractive story, not just an ancient packaging.
2. Simon Yam: Talent is wasted in the big movie No Bottom Line
Simon Yam, as a veteran actor, has shown extraordinary acting skills in many excellent movies. However, his performance in "The Legend of Chang'an" was regrettable and disappointing. Maybe he was attracted by the script, or maybe it was for other reasons, but starring in such a major online movie of worrying quality is undoubtedly a waste for his acting career.
In the film, the detective played by Simon Yam is old and has incredible abilities. However, his performance seemed completely uninspiring and almost always had the same expression. His reaction to various plots seemed quite dull, and he even seemed unmoved when the heroine with whom he had a romantic scene died.
What is even more incredible is that an actress who is 39 years younger than him plays an admirer who is devoted to him. When the two are in the same frame, they don't even feel like father and daughter, but more like grandfather and grandson. This absurd arrangement raises many questions. Why would Simon Yam take on such a role? Isn't he embarrassed by this?
3. Clara: From goddess to "vulgar" professional household
The performance of the goddess Clara is also surprising. Her wonderful performance in "The Holy Love" is unforgettable. His elegant and noble temperament and superb acting skills left a deep impression on the audience.
However, her performance in "The Story of Chang'an" was disappointing. From the initial exposure of her legs to various subsequent "meat-revealing" shots, Clara used vulgar expressions to attract the audience's attention. This behavior is unacceptable. What's worse is that this performance did not enhance the character's sexiness, but instead lowered the audience's evaluation of her.
This abrupt performance method is not only detrimental to the development of the plot, but also inconsistent with public aesthetics. It also fails to improve the actors' acting skills. Clara's figure is certainly perfect, but the way it's presented in such a deliberate way feels a bit pity.
She seems to have become an actress who uses vulgar means to attract attention. This behavior is not only disrespectful to the audience, but also demeaning to herself. Perhaps Clara needs to re-examine her career plans and not let herself become a synonym for vulgarity.
Overall, the release of "The Legend of Chang'an" is really disappointing.The structure of the plot lacks novelty, the actors' performances are a bit mediocre, and Clara's vulgar "revealing" has aroused many doubts. The emergence of such bad movies is undoubtedly disrespectful to the audience and a waste of the talents of excellent actors.
