Stephen Chow in 1994 was at his peak.
In that year, he not only released his first self-written, directed and acted movie "国产Linglingqi", but also starred in "Lord of Destruction" and "Nine-grade Sesame Official: White Bread Blue Sky" which were also released successively.
Especially for " NINE PINS SESAME OFFICIAL ", in this film Xingye not only stars, but also handles the lighting and art, so he is also known as the "Top Director".
Although this film is 30 years old, more than 700,000 people on Douban still gave it a high score of 8.7. It is an important masterpiece of Xingye.
Unexpectedly, 30 years later, when remakes and adaptations of classics are in vogue, "Nine Levels of Sesame Official" will also receive a remake. There are even some original cast members such as Huang Yishan and Yuan Qiongdan joining the cast. Of course, Huang Yishan still plays the emperor, but this emperor is indeed a bit old. After all, Huang Yishan is already 59 years old. Pomegranate sister Yuan Qiongdan is also 60 years old. They are no longer young, but they have also embarked on the road of bad movies in order to make a living, and they have already given up on it!
"New Nine-Pin Sesame Official" can't be called "bad".
opened Douban, and there were negative reviews for "New 9th Grade Sesame Official". Although it has just been released online, and it is synchronized with the Internet and theaters, its reputation has been greatly improved.
"Is it necessary to remake it? You are humiliating yourself!"
"Why remake it? It's too bad and it will ruin my movie."
Netizens are rude, just because this movie is so bad.
The theater box office performance was also disastrous. The box office of on the first day was less than 1,000 yuan, and the box office with on-demand screenings was just over 1,800 yuan.
Although there is still an Internet guarantee, for such a bad movie, the Internet box office may not be much better.
"New 9th Grade Sesame Official" is just like remakes and adaptations of classic films in the past, all in the name of paying tribute, selling feelings and ruining classics.
The plots of "New Nine-Rank Sesame Official" and "Nine-Level Sesame Official" are basically the same. They both start from a case of killing a family. Due to the strong background of the perpetrator, the innocent person was unjustly imprisoned, but the real murderer continued to be at large! The protagonist, county magistrate Bao Longxing, was also unjustly imprisoned, and then escaped from prison and embarked on the path of redressing his grievances. In the end, he accidentally met the emperor and gained power, retried the case, and successfully overturned the case.
seems to have the same plot design, but in fact "New 9th Grade Sesame Official" has greatly simplified the content of the original version, and this also includes the characteristics of each character, without the more arcuate presentation of the original version. Furthermore, the absurd satire of the original version has been greatly weakened.
Compared with the original version, "New 9th Grade Sesame Official" is really as simple and boring as most online movies.
is a standard Internet movie in terms of cast. The two leading actors Peng Yushu and Lin Yanrou are also regulars in online movies. Peng Yushu was once the top brother of the Internet University, but he has been facing backlash in recent years, and each one is not as good as the other. Of course, looking at the online movies he starred in, most of them were Taoist priests, all of which were about killing demons and demons. These have long become his label, so once he changes the style and type, it always makes people laugh.
is now openly imitating Stephen Chow, especially the dubbing and Peng Yushu's unchanging expressions and performances, which is unbearable to watch. After all, Peng Yushu is an old actor, but he has no acting skills. His performance is stiff and dull, and it is incompatible with the dubbing. He is completely two-skinned.
This is not the first time that Peng Yushu has imitated Master Xing. He also acted in "Crazy Demon Beggar Su Qier" before and imitated Master Xing's version of " Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier ". Of course it was also overturned.
Peng Yushu This is not a tribute to Master Xing, this is an attempt to embarrass Master Xing. Of course, not everyone can easily imitate Mr. Xing, especially his nonsensical comedy style, which is not seen at all in "New 9th Grade Sesame Official" today. The comedy turned into a farce, the expression of absurdity and satire was gone, and it became a mediocre bad work.
The heroine Lin Yanrou plays the role of Zhang Min. Although the name has been changed, the content is the same, but the performance seems artificial and awkward, especially the crying scene when she is wronged. It is thundering but not raining, and she looks like she is crying. It was very powerful, but I couldn't squeeze out any tears, and it didn't show the injustice of the characters.
Online movies have always liked to sell meat on the sidelines, and the same is true for this "New 9th Grade Sesame Official". The original Thunder Leopard Catcher played by Xu Jinjiang in the capital city was transformed into a female detective, and she was wearing a low-cut and tube top outfit that was completely off-limits, leaving people speechless. This is not funny at all, just disgusting and vulgar.
The reason why the classic is a classic is due to various reasons, and it is not just a remake by latecomers.
Nowadays, remakes of classics, especially those of online movies, are just trying to gain popularity in order to win the box office. Although it is in the name of paying tribute to the classics, in fact everyone knows exactly why. Fortunately, today's audiences are no longer as tolerant as they used to be. They will not make impulsive purchases just because of tribute. They still have to look at the quality of the film.
This time, the disastrous box office failure of "New 9th Grade Sesame Official" is the audience's best response to this film, and it once again taught all filmmakers a good lesson!
also begs the producers, directors, and screenwriters to let the classics go, and stop ruining the classics with random remakes and adaptations!
