The new “ghost story” Love comes too easily
Yangcheng Evening News 2020-05-03
33 years later, the original version was authorized to redo, but production of the update story did not progress.
“Ghost Story: Human Love” was released in the Tencent video on May 1. As of 3:00 PM on May 2, this online movie, which is only available to Tencent Video members, scored 8.1 on the platform, down from 9.1 on the same platform as ” The Ghost Story “starring Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian in 1987. Yu scored 8.7 points in the sequel” Ghost Story 2: Human Dao “starring the original cast, but more than 7.3 points in” Ghost Story “starring Liu Yifei and Yu Shaoqun in 2011. However, on the Douban platform, the score for this new movie did not “pass”, only 5.1 points, much lower than the 1987 version of 8.7 points, and even lower than the 2011 version of 5.3 points.
Among the online movies with the fantastic theme of “Archive of May 1”, “Ghost Story: Human Love” attracts the most attention. This is mainly because the IP is well known, and compared to other versions, this one is licensed by the 1987 version of “The Ghost Story”, and even the title song sung by A Yunga is the one that people know about. . But the film’s bipolar evaluation is also derived from the comparison of the two films: if the scene is great and well done, the previous version that was born 33 years ago may not be the same as the new version; but if the narration method, the new version does not Nothing is better than the previous version. In the final analysis, people may give lower scores due to disappointment and confusion: Since they cannot beat the original version, why do they have to make a new version?
Production of Krypton Gold Upgrade
Judging by the quality of the production, “Ghost Story: Human Love” is an online movie, but it doesn’t get lost with the same themed movie. The film is reported to have invested 40 million yuan, and it took 3 years before and after, these two pieces of data alone are enough to hang up some raw theater plays.
This money is indeed in place. At the beginning of the film, “Try 5 minutes” showed a dazzling crossdresser fight, and the end result of the play was the winning villain: the disparity of right and wrong forces constitutes enough suspense, which is the most widely used in the movies. online. The opening is the climax. If non-VIP viewers are willing to spend money for the movie right now, they will see more exciting fight scenes. In addition to the similar appearance of the “monsters”, which are more visually striking due to the use of special effects makeup techniques in western magic blockbusters, the two original classic scenes from the Temple of Lan Ruo and Montenegro have also been created more than the “common sense” of 33 years ago. The original version is more textured. The film party once claimed that the work convened a “professional cinema team at the cinema level.” After 370 days of post-production, over 1,400 special effects lenses were produced. From the perspective of current cinematic effects, this statement should be true. However, while production is fine, the realm and creativity of the action scenes and scenes have not yet surpassed the original. Overall, the new version is more like the original “Krypton Gold” update.
Simple and rough love
The producer of “Ghost Story: Human Love” has revealed that the film uses 40% of the original content. His confidence comes from the personal adaptation of the 1987 version of screenwriter Ruan Jizhi, and after watching the movie, the journalist discovered that the main line of the new version of the story is not really different from the previous version, but there are some Subtle but sufficient to produce subversive change. For example, when the original version of Ning Caichen fell in love with Nie Xiaoqian, he ignored her true identity, but in the new version, he easily guessed that the other party was a demon in his first close encounter with her. But still, the genuine Zhong Ning Caichen still decided to dedicate himself to it from the beginning: “If my life is so important to you, then you take it.” “The new version of love at first sight seems to be less emotional. This may be related to the fact that many IP remakes in recent years have focused on attracting young audiences. But is youth casual? This understanding seems too simple and raw.
Compared to the sad, romantic mood of the 1987 version of “Ghost Story,” the emotional lack of humor in “Ghost Story: Human Love” is perhaps the most criticized. Since the plot can’t be beat, criticizing two new actors, Nie Xiaoqian’s Li Xiaixin actor and Ning Caichen actor Chen Xingxu, will seem too harsh. In fact, the distribution of these two roles is debatable. After all, Yu Shaoqun’s appearance and temperament were rare and “clean”, but Leslie Cheung still didn’t approve of it, and now Chen Xingxu lacks “book anger” appearance. Similarly, Li Kaixin does not appear to have Wang Zuxian’s “talking eyes.” The union of Yuanhua, Xu Shaoqiang, Zhang Zhiheng, Luo Dahua and other powerful actors has stabilized the performance of this work and contributed some fun dramas based on following the original set. It’s a shame that regardless of supporting roles or villains, characters are still down to “tool people”, and character creation hasn’t improved since the original version.
■ Evaluation of the audience.
Jerry’s chest muscles:Not to mention Wang Zuxian’s version, Liu Yifei’s version can slap this one!
Huang Meiyou:This movie is incomparable to Cheng Xiaodong’s version, and it is a breakthrough if it can produce new ideas. The results can only be given to Samsung after reading, two stars to old actors Yuan Hua and Xu Shaoqiang, and one star to Ghost Story’s IP.
Laughing and scolding:You might not like this online university, but before this job take a private look at what online university was like. Look at what were the great online movies that were rampant on various platforms. , Re-evaluate, maybe you have the same idea as me, this is the milestone.
Small deduction Chai Fei:Once the sea was difficult to irrigate, except that Wushan was not a cloud. Two years later, Chen Xingxu’s expression handling is still as good as ever. The heroin’s face value and style are amazing, and the essence of the predecessors has not been imitated, and has become an emperor.
Xu Ruofeng:A tribute and a new statement that emphasizes the sense of youth. As a web university, it is quite exquisite in hardware, such as service channels and special effects, and it doesn’t miss the film version of Ye Weixin’s previous remake. With the blessing of the original screenwriter, the script appears to be fast and Hong Kong, and the design of various works is also very interesting. He was very impressed with Chen Xingxu before seeing “Donggong”, but this time he still performed well.
crazy77 cat:Ordinary, mediocre, and even felt that the male and female actors were playing two fools.
