Wu Ershan's " Stranger Under " came. I thought it was Wang Zha, but it turned out to be bronze, and the score dropped to 6.2.
had an advantage in the film schedule at the beginning, but it could not beat " Deadpool and Wolverine ", and the box office on the first day was less than 40 million.
predicted that the box office dropped from more than 300 million to more than 100 million. Wuershan really overturned this time.
also had a "hell start". Last year's "Feng Shen" counterattacked all the way, relying on its own quality.
As for "Under the Stranger", it is basically hopeless to save it, with negative reviews.
Some people say that Zhang Lingyu is too ugly, and every close-up shot is bullying of himself.
Some netizens also commented that the story was completely changed, and Zhang Chulan’s forbearing and thoughtful character collapsed.
Some people said that the exclusive BGM for each character is an abuse and makes their ears hurt.
It seems that this time, "Under the Strangers" cannot complete the task of punching Marvel and kicking DC.
Wu Ershan’s expansion of domestic comic book live-action movies will most likely fail.
As a powerful IP, "Under the Stranger" has different fan groups such as comics, animations, and dramas. It is too difficult to be satisfied in all aspects.
So what is this comic book movie about? Let’s talk about its advantages first.
Shang Tielong plays Zhang Xilin, the grandfather of the protagonist Zhang Chulan. Even Uncle Long will admire his iconic rosacea after seeing it.
This is nowhere to be found in reality. With the help of excellent makeup technology and the actors' superb acting skills, this role is extremely restored.
Gao Ning, played by Sang Ping, also uses makeup to create a flower monk with a strange head. Compared with the comics, he is a little more violent and a little less feminine. Overall, he is relatively restored.
The most surprising character is undoubtedly Xu Xiang (Gou Wazi) played by Peter Chen. This legend of Taiwanese pop music fits the role very well.
His face is full of stories, and the century-spanning bond with Sister Baoer (Ah Wu) is the highlight of the film. Unlike other noisy BGMs in the film, their Sichuan folk songs are undoubtedly a breath of fresh air.
Wu Ershan arranged a biography for this supporting character who originally had few roles, providing a motive for her to oscillate between Quanxing and Nadutong.
The biggest highlight of this movie is undoubtedly the action scenes.
Especially when the three beauties go into battle to catch each other and fight, it can be called the most eye-catching battle scene in the cinema this summer.
Li Wanda, who plays Feng Baobao, in reality won the first prize of Beijing Baji Quan for making a good movie.
She is very comfortable portraying a character with a fighting body. In terms of fighting scenes alone, her performance is absolutely convincing.
The two little flowers from the Fengshen Training Camp were no less impressive in the fight scenes.
Xia He, played by Naran, is really good. She has a slim figure, not to mention her proud long legs.
Just as the opponent's eyes were wandering up and down, she attacked with a Prajna Palm move that can control people's minds. How should you respond?
Narnaqian plays Feng Shayan. Who can not love the rich and dashing royal sister?
The midnight showdown between her and Sister Boa was quite exciting, and her ability to teleport through space gave her an advantage.
If it hadn’t been for Sister Baoer’s super healing ability, anyone else would have been defeated.
Female stars are already rare. If three people can watch one movie, it is still worth the price of admission.
The most outstanding laughs of the movie are basically inherited from the original work. Sister Baoer buries a living person under the moon with a spade. She and Zhang Chulan’s embarrassing "master-servant interaction". Of course, the name of the light-hearted hero Zhang Chulan is also indispensable. The scene...
The participation of the original author Mi Er ensured the basic direction of the movie, and overall it is very restored.
However, some changes are disappointing, such as Zhang Chulan’s character design. In the comics, he obtained the memory of his grandfather from Lu Liang and did not seek revenge from Sister Baoer. Instead, he went to verify it in various ways. It turned out that there was another hidden secret. .
In the comics, he seems to be carefree, but in fact he is the most reliable. As Xu Xiang said, he trusts Zhang Chulan more than Xu San and Xu Si, so he entrusts Sister Baoer to him.
After talking about the advantages, it’s time to complain.
When the first part of "Fengshen" was released last year, the Chinese people were hurt by such so-called epic blockbusters, and the movie started extremely poorly.
After that, with the special effects that were as hard-core as Hollywood blockbusters, and the good reputation fermented by movie fans, the public recognized the quality of the movie, and eventually the movie achieved a box office counterattack.
However, "Under the Strangers" obviously does not have such quality. When showing the strange fighting scenes between strangers, it still relies too much on simple lighting effects. The colorful visual impact of
still has a plastic-like cheapness to it.
In the Hollywood superhero movies next door, the boundary between superpower effects and reality has long been blurred, and many special effects have already reached the point where they look fake and real.
In the past, Wu Ershan was good at photographing beauties in ancient costumes. In " Sword Laughing ", Zhang Yuqi played the oiran who was so gorgeous that it can attract people's hearts.
"Looking for the Dragon" developed an alternative style of Yang Ying mysterious ancient costume sweet rice dumplings, and "Fengshen" made Naran dance and charm all living beings.
However, most of the female characters in this movie are stereotyped and reduced to tools from a male perspective. They have nothing but beauty and fighting scenes.
As the first live-action film that established the world view, Zhang Chulan, played by Hu Xianxi, can only be said to have achieved nothing, and the character's "unshakable green lotus" attribute needs to be further developed.
Li Wanda acted very hard, but the perfect Sister Baoer seems to only exist in animation.
In a 134-minute movie, it is indeed very difficult to create a complete world view of the aliens and create many characters at the same time, but this at least shows that the film adaptation lacks sufficient polish.
Among the important female characters, except for Sister Baoer who is highlighted, Xia He and Feng Shayan are almost tool men.
After watching the movie, apart from being eye-catching, the only thing I can remember is Naran’s line from Xia Sanlu, "I haven’t fully invested myself yet, third brother, you have to work hard."
For Wu Ershan to create the character in this way, I can only borrow the lines from Sister Baoer's movie, "Qi flows downward and goes astray."
This uncut diamond of Narnaqian was wasted. Apart from being cool and good at acting, this lady in black leather clothes, and her fat beating of Zhang Chulan on the bed, it is really hard to believe that she is the daughter of a wealthy family.
But the most disastrous casting choice of the film is undoubtedly the following one.
When Zhang Lingyu appeared, he stretched out his legs gracefully from a third-hand van, and then two vulgar-looking Taoist priests respectfully pushed him in front of him.
He is a very popular character in the original work. This person stretched his hips as soon as he appeared on the scene. ruined the Lingyu real person in everyone's mind.
Wuershan specially arranged this appearance for him, obviously to create a comedy effect brought by contrast.
He must be trying to copy the famous scene from Marvel, where the seemingly ordinary middle-aged uncle Hulk slowly appears on the stage on a dilapidated motorcycle, and in the next second he transforms into the world-destroying Hulk.
But the temperament of this little Taoist seems to be suitable for this van, so why is there such a contrast!
As the quasi-head of the world's largest sect and the son of destiny, he should have a noble air that should not be angry and self-promoting, rather than the petty family spirit shown by the actor. Obviously, the actor Wu Jiakai's temperament is not suitable.
Assuming there is a second part, as Xia He’s ex-boyfriend, he has many scenes opposite Xia He, how inconsistent it would be.
summary
" The Wandering Earth " has opened a new era of Chinese science fiction movies. " Fengshen Part 1: Chaoge Fengyun " is also of extraordinary significance to domestic fantasy blockbusters.
However, on the road of adapting comics to live-action, we still seem to be far behind Hollywood.
On the big screen, Wu Ershan’s attempt to complete a superpower movie directed and starring a Chinese person still has a positive significance.
at least shows that our type of film has already started, and it is only a matter of time before better works appear.
"Under the Stranger" is most likely a failure. Although Wu Ershan said that the second script has been written, he doesn't know if it can be filmed, and it may be stillborn.
As a fan of this IP, I naturally hope for a second part. After all, there is the wonderful Luotian Dajiao.
and the Wudang King Ye who meets the Heavenly Master, Zhuge Qing who likes to eavesdrop on gossip, and Sister Baoer who is getting better and better at burying people.
Of course, the most outstanding one is our "Unshakable Green Lotus" Zhang Chulan. Who doesn't look forward to walking birds under the moon? (Written by Mu Weizhou)
