This summer movie is obviously not as lively as in previous years, but in addition to the currently being screened " Catch a Baby ", there is also a potential dark horse ready to go, which is Ur Director Shan's new work "Under the Stranger".
Judging from the subject matter and IP alone, it is very difficult for the movie "Under the Stranger" to become a commercial box office blockbuster. On the one hand, the story itself is relatively fresh and fantastic, and the audience it can attract is definitely not as large as "Catch a Baby". On the other hand, the original story belongs to a Chinese comic, with a secondary setting, and the comic form is relatively niche.
To put it bluntly, the people who can be quickly won by "Under the Stranger" are often the original comic fans, and even some of the loyal fans are disgusted with the real-life version of the two-dimensional story.
The online drama version of "Under the Stranger", which has excellent quality and excellent casting, has achieved good results. However, this version was only a small hit and did not become a hit.
"Under the Stranger" directed by Wu Ershan is facing a very difficult market test.
But I have to say that with Wu Ershan's blessing, many viewers have expectations for "Under the Stranger".
With Wu Ershan’s blessing, those famous scenes in the comic “Under the Stranger” that require huge sums of money to be reproduced have the most basic guarantee.
Moreover, it can be seen from the casting of the movie version of "Under the Stranger" that this movie respects the original comic and is also very detailed in the understanding and portrayal of the characters.
Hu Xianxu , who plays the male protagonist Chu Lan, is an actor with a full sense of youth. Compared with the image of Peng Yuchang in the web drama version, Hu Xianxu has a more youthful appearance and a heavier middle-class atmosphere.
Moreover, for the role of Zhang Chulan, Hu Xianxu lost weight to the extreme. The Hu Xianxu who appeared in the trailer was so thin that the facial features on his face were more three-dimensional and the mandibular angle was clearer. When he recreated some scenes in Chinese comics with this image, he really looked cool. The realism that brought Zhang Chulan out of the anime.
In addition to Hu Xianxu, actor Li Wanda is also a highlight of "Under the Stranger". The audience is not familiar with Li Wanda, but in 2003, Li Wanda was well suited to play the role of the eccentric, slovenly and mysterious girl Feng Baobao in all aspects.
First of all, Li Wanda is young enough. She only officially entered the entertainment industry in 2017. She has beautiful features, outstanding temperament, and limited acting experience. She can also show Feng Baobao's cute and dull side in front of the camera.
Secondly, Li Wanda graduated with a major in singing and dancing. Her body shape is very strong and she can complete some of the difficult requirements of the action scenes in the movie, and the scene of Feng Baobao's dive in the trailer is also very realistic.
What is surprising in the movie "Under the Stranger" is the actress Naran. Since her debut in "Feng Shen", Naran's role as Daji has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. She has a gorgeous image and full of aura. When interpreting Daji's foxy nature , really performed a feeling of animal anthropomorphism.
In "Under the Stranger", Naran also took advantage of her beauty to play the role of Xia He, who seems to be charming and wanton, but is actually very affectionate and righteous. When Naran appeared with a head of gorgeous and flamboyant hair, and appeared on the motorcycle with her long legs spread out, the image of Xia He, a character who is born to make men obsessed with her, stood up.
It seems that when many viewers thought that Naran’s peak performance was Daji, she proved with her strength that she can still create more brilliant and eye-catching characters on the big screen.
With the fermentation of "Under the Stranger", the lineup of this movie has also attracted more attention from netizens. Now the most discussed one is the participation of Feng Shaofeng .
In the audience's impression, Feng Shaofeng has entered middle age, his acting skills are mediocre, and his image has lost the sexual tension of his youth. Except for "Do you know if you should be green, fat, red, and thin", almost all of Feng Shaofeng's screen portrayals in recent years are No splash.
But I didn’t expect that Feng Shaofeng would be favored by Wu Ershan, and even though he was old, he couldn’t escape Wu Ershan’s training camp. After the
movie released a special episode of Feng Shaofeng's modeling, it quickly became a hot topic. In the special episode, Feng Shaofeng was wearing a three-piece suit. The slightly slim suit gave Feng Shaofeng a yuppie effect.
In front of the camera, Feng Shaofeng has obviously taken care of his figure. Although the traces of age are still obvious on his face, his mandibular angle is very strong, his nose is high, and his appearance in a suit does not have the bloated middle-aged look he had when attending events in the past two years.
I was looking forward to Feng Shaofeng returning to his peak state, but I didn't expect that this time Feng Shaofeng would portray a murderous villain in "Under the Stranger".
Shen Chong is a crazy villain in the original comic. He seems to be kind, but in fact he has no regard for life, has an arrogant personality and a strong sense of oppression.
Judging from the original comic, Shen Chong looks more like a scholar, but in "Under the Stranger", the screenwriter and director obviously wanted Shen Chong to be more impactful, so there was something as extreme as Feng Shaofeng in the special episode performance style.
One second he was very elegant, and the next second he transformed into a super hero. Amidst the extreme changes in emotions, Feng Shaofeng still maintained an elegant appearance. His action scenes were set to Jeet Kune Do, and he had a beautiful figure when fighting. He matched with a suit The elegant image of leather shoes has the temperament of martial arts suits and thugs in suits.
From an image point of view, 45-year-old Feng Shaofeng has really contributed to a real boss in a domestic film this time.
Of course, Feng Shaofeng has also paid a lot for this role. The movie "Under the Stranger" will start shooting in December, but Feng Shaofeng has already entered the training camp in February, following martial arts instructors and teachers, learning Jeet Kune Do and improving his movements. The power of the play.
It is worth mentioning that Shen Chong, played by Feng Shaofeng in "Under the Stranger", also has some more interesting settings, such as mysophobia, and the mixed lines of Mandarin and Southern accent. These interesting settings actually make The relatively simple villain image has become more three-dimensional and vivid. It also helps Feng Shaofeng have a more obvious grasp when performing the role, showing the character's ultimate personality.
Whether it is Feng Shaofeng's portrayal, or Feng Shaofeng's image in the trailer, or Feng Shaofeng's efforts to interpret the character in the special episode, the audience can see Feng Shaofeng's intentions and the sincerity of the entire movie "Under the Stranger".
Perhaps, this time Shen Chong is another opportunity for the 45-year-old Feng Shaofeng to become famous and prove himself. The audience's aesthetics will never be wrong. Feng Shaofeng, who became famous through "Palace" many years ago, was not lucky. With good characters and good productions, I believe Feng Shaofeng can seize the opportunity.
