The recent remake of Stephen Chow's movie "The New Man" was ridiculed as soon as it was released, and was accused of ruining a classic.
reproduces it according to the original version without changing a single detail, so it may only be called a mediocre work.
But they had to add more than necessary. Not only did they omit classic characters such as Ruhua and Eunuch Li, they also changed the leopard head into a female character.
Here, "New 9-pin Sesame Official" has not been offline yet, and there is another movie " Hao Ge Naoxian Yamen " that is based on " 9-pin Sesame Official ".
The former failed miserably at the box office, with a box office of only 1,305 yuan on the first day. The latter, with Erlong Huhao in charge, won the online movie daily box office championship for 8 consecutive days, with a total box office of 6.901 million.
01, the ultra-low-end version of "Nine Levels of Sesame Official" + "Let the Bullets Fly"
The film is written, directed and starred by Zhang Hao. The territory of the "Brother Erlonghu" movie universe has expanded.
His performance is based on Xingye's nonsense. Movies that pay tribute to Stephen Chow are commonplace. In 2021, he filmed "The New Truant".
When the filming of "Brother Hao Goes to the County Office" originally started, the title was also "New Ninth Grade Sesame Official", but unfortunately the name was snatched away by someone else.
But judging from the storyline, it is a hybrid version of "Nine-Rank Sesame Official" + "Let the Bullets Fly".
Feng Hao is a housekeeper of a Juren family who went to Ancheng to serve as the county magistrate for his master. (Side mission to find dad)
The county magistrate of Anseong is a high-risk industry. Among the 43 people in front of him, there were some who were self-denying, some who were corrupt and perverted the law. In the end, they all died in the line of duty.
As the 44th county magistrate, he faced the squire and bully Gao Tengtang, adhering to the principle of softness and hardness, and his life was good.
But under the scolding of the people, the contempt of girls who liked him, and the truth that his father (the first county magistrate of Anseong) was killed by Gao Dentang, he woke up and decided to resist.
had no choice but to be alone and weak. Under the pursuit of Gao Dengtang, he accidentally entered the bandit's den and learned a good skill (whistle horse training and archery), and happened to meet the son of Marshal Xiong.
Marshal Xiong happened to be his father's old subordinate. With the support of the Marshal, he returned to Ancheng, punished Gao Dentang, and brought the beauty home with him.
There is no doubt that Zhang Hao is talented and can mix two movies together, and also adds elements of treasure hunting and Japanese.
And many movie memes are used just right, and by the way, he pays tribute to " The Deer and the Cauldron ", " Playing Back to School 2" and Gu Long, which shows that he has put a lot of thought into it, and his creative attitude deserves recognition.
02, "Fang Tangjing" Wu Qihua joined
"New 9th Grade Sesame Official" invited Huang Yishan and Shiliu sister Yuan Qiongdan to sit in, while Zhang Hao invited Wu Qihua.
In "The Ninth Grade Sesame Official", Wu Qihua plays Fang Tangjing, who is eloquent and has a mean look, and his performance is very good.
In "Brother Hao Trouble in the County Government", he transformed into Master Zhen. Although he changed his waistcoat, he still remained a gangster.
Wu Qihua played many villains in his early years, and later became a gentle and gentle master killer in TVB.
For example, the easy-going Cheng Zhimei in "Miao Hands and Benevolent Heart", the humble and gentleman Zhang Wuji in " Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" , etc.
has been involved in major online movies in recent years, so much so that some netizens complained: Wu Qihua, why are you doing this? . . Are you really so short of money?
Wu Qihua invests wisely and is naturally not short of money. He may be acting in online movies because he really likes filming.
It is worth mentioning that he has two Hong Kong dramas this year, "The Unfair Crime" with Chen Wei, and "The Law Enforcers" with Xuan Xuan.
In addition to Wu Qihua, there is also a familiar face in the movie, Zhao Xiaorui who plays the villain Gao Dengtang.
My first impression of him was naturally the black whirlwind Li Kui in the CCTV version of "Water Margin ". He performed a straightforward, loyal, reckless and cute performance. He was simply Li Kui himself.
There is also Zheng Laofi in "The Gate of the Mansion", who uses his big stomach to please Master Qi so that he can stay in the gate of the mansion.
Zhao Xiaorui can play simple and honest characters, and he can also control hot and sophisticated characters, such as the killer whale in " Knives Out ", Cao Peng in " Anti-Crime Storm ", etc.
"Brother Hao is in the County Government" naturally has many shortcomings. For example, the ending is not like in "The Nine-Rank Sesame Official", where the villain is tried in court, and the method is to fight violence with violence.
The most disappointing thing is the heroine Tong Fei, who has the same expression from beginning to end, revealing embarrassment at every turn.
Tong Fei, formerly known as Tong Fei, her starting point is actually not low. She entered the industry and signed a contract with Wang Jing Company. She is a "Jing Girl" and has collaborated with many big names.
For example, A Bao in " Shanghai ", A Cai in the "Macau Storm" series, etc.
was praised by Wang Jing and was rated by some media as one of the "Four Little Actresses" with potential born in the 1990s.
's resources got worse and worse later on, and she kept playing in online movies, and her acting skills didn't improve at all. She was probably the worst Jing girl.
03, "Brother Erlonghu Hao" movie universe
In online movies, Zhang Hao can be called a super IP.
The story begins with the 2012 film "Brother Erlonghu: Siping Youth".
Zhang Hao, who had been working in the theater for three years at that time, although he had some acting experience, he didn't know much about shooting, editing, and lenses.
Perhaps he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, so he dared to take 2,000 yuan and find a group of friends to make a movie together.
After filming, there was no money for post-production, so Zhang Hao learned it by himself, and then used his favorite Hong Kong movie soundtracks.
After everything was completed, he chose to upload it on Singles' Day, November 11, 2012. Maybe he was just making a small fuss at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he would make a movie. The gears of fate started turning from this moment on.
"Brother Hao of Erlong Lake: Siping Youth" spread rapidly on the Internet, and the cumulative views on the entire network exceeded 100 million. For a while, everyone knew about Brother Hao who came from the Holy Land of Erlong Lake and Baomi Di.
Some people like the black humor in the movie, while others think it is realistic. Of course, there are also those who criticize the movie as vulgar and nonsense.
Although the movie was eventually taken off the shelves, Zhang Hao did become popular, and the "Brother Erlonghu Hao" movie universe began.
In the years after
, "Brother Erlonghu: The Rise of the Wind" and "Brother Erlonghu: The Road of Fury" were released one after another, and the derivative works "Siping Youth" series were released one after another.
Zhang Hao has been influenced by Hong Kong movies since he was a child. Hong Kong stars can be seen everywhere in his movies, such as Yuan Qiongdan, Li Xiuxian, Wu Zhixiong, Lu Huiguang, Zou Zhaolong, etc.
The territory of the "Erlong Lake Haoge" movie universe is still expanding, and its success is inseparable from the following reasons.
is number one, with low investment costs and no pressure on the box office.
Take "Hao Ge Nao Xian Ya" as an example. The investment should be no more than tens of millions, and the capital can be easily returned to make money. A typical example is a small gain.
Second, paying tribute to the classic IP, Zhang Hao’s performance has its own characteristics.
Third, it updates frequently. Since 2012, it has produced nearly 20 movies. Last month, "Siping Police: Diamond Heist" was released, which earned 14.76 million at the box office.
Zhang Hao is very clear about his positioning and advantages, so he has won a world in online movies with such a steady and steady approach.
I hope that this young man from Siping who walked out of the corn field will go further and further in the future. (Written by: Youwei)
