It stands to reason that with the star appeal of Andy Lau and Wan Qian, and the guest appearances of Sean, Guo Jingfei and Lei Jiayin, this lineup should be huge, but its box office was cut to the bottom in the Spring Festival movie, forcing the director to speak out for more slots.
"Crowd" box office is not popular, is it because there are few slots? I don't think so.
There is no doubt that the strength of Andy Lau, Wan Qian and Sean is good. I don't think they are picky about the actors' acting skills, but after watching this film, people feel that it is not easy to spread.
What is not contagious? In short, there is no impulse to share with friends after reading it, and there is no particularly good inner experience.
First of all, the protagonist Zhou Quan (played by Andy Lau) is not clear. This drama is mainly about Zhou Quan, a top killer, who wants to commit suicide because of an accidental amnesia. Chen (Sean), a poor group actor, takes the opportunity to exchange identities with him, thus making their lives change dramatically.
Living in a luxury mansion, wearing a watch, driving a luxury car and spending money like water. Chen lives in a shabby little rental house and is in debt everywhere.
So what's the difference between top killer Zhou Quan and Chen? Just thinking? Just brave? Just strict self-discipline
No, he should be a hero, with superb skills, calm courage and unexpected counterattack, which can be in sharp contrast with Chen's cowardice, incompetence and superficiality.
And all this, nothing.
Zhou Quan never killed anyone, but after receiving the task, he secretly reached a tacit understanding of "acting" with the other party's goal. He faked his death, the other party faked his death, and then both sides collected money (hehe, this is the skill of the top killer, isn't it a bit naive? )。
After a comprehensive memory recovery, he did not show his stupidity, let alone his shrewd decision, but also became an "actor", trying to run over Huijie who bought and killed people by acting a realistic play.
When the "play" broke through, Zhou Quan was beaten out of the water by Hui Jie and his gang. Chen began to "act" again, seducing Hui Jiechu and letting Li Xiang (Wan Qian) pretend to be the body of Zeng Jiurong, so as to save Zhou Quan.
I have to say, this is another naive plot that treats the audience as fools.
Sister Hui doesn't know Zeng Jiurong? How many minutes has Li Can been fooled by pretending to be a corpse?
After that, it is conceivable that they were severely beaten by Huijie and his gang. Finally, Li Xiang's son called the police in time and the police arrived in time.
From beginning to end, what's so great about it? I really didn't find it. Let's just say that when he began to pretend to be a criminal policeman and negotiate with Hui Jie, he was still a little flamboyant.
Secondly, Li Xiang's son and the comprehensive "father-son plot" are far-fetched. Li Xiang's son grew up in a single-parent family and longed for a father he admired since childhood. In his imagination, his father was a great astronaut, and he also gave a speech on My Father.
At this point, Zhou Quan has lost his memory, and he has a certain feeling with Li Xiang. Li Xiang wants to ask him to play the father of the child on stage.
Zhou Quan came to the stage dressed as an astronaut and hugged the children deeply.
Although I know this is a comedy plot, I still want to ask, can a twelve-year-old child believe that the stranger who suddenly appears is his father?
Moreover, after this speech, the child never delved into it again. Although it is understandable, the child knows in his heart that this is not his father, he is only a twelve-year-old child. How should he accept this fact? Shouldn't he have a lot of questions?
The plot of this paragraph is too fragmented. The only explanation that can be given is that the director wants to make it up like this. Do you watch it or not?
Chen's emotional line started suddenly and ended hastily. There are two emotional lines in the play, one is Zhou Quan and Li Xiang, and the other is Chen He and Zeng Jiurong.
There is no need to say more about Zhou Quan and Li Xiang. After all, the affection between them has advanced in an orderly way, which is acceptable on the whole.
However, the relationship between Chen and Zeng Jiurong is too stiff, too sudden and too meaningless.
Zeng Jiurong's appearance is the image of a pregnant woman. Chen was supposed to take the task of assassinating her, because she used to be Huijie's most trusted best friend, but when Huijie was pregnant, she sneaked in with her husband, * * * betrayed Huijie and absconded with the money.
Chen Ziran didn't dare to kill anyone, but after "slapping" her, she gave her a sincere heart (this relationship was really puzzling) and gave her all the money from Zhou Quan's family, so that she could "escape" with the money again.
At this time, Zhou Quan gave Chen an evaluation of "stupidity"!
This emotional line is really the failure of this movie! If Chen is attracted by Zeng Jiurong's color, she is pregnant at this time, and it is unlikely to be seduced.
If Chen is interested in other aspects of her, there will be nothing to watch.
Moreover, it is said that Zeng Jiurong is a malicious character, and Hui Jie and his wife can't compete with her. It was not until the end of the play that I saw Zeng Jiurong's "malice".
The final outcome did not achieve the purpose of punishing evil and promoting good. Any successful film and television work needs to embody a kind of values.
There are villains in this play, so the villains must be brought to justice in the end.
On the surface, Hui Jie and her gang were finally arrested, but the two most ruthless people, Hui Jie's husband and Zeng Jiurong, were at large with a large sum of money.
Sister Hui is actually a victim, and in this play, Sister Hui doesn't make people feel that she is particularly vicious.
Li Xiang's son called, and Huijie kindly asked her to answer the phone. Don't keep the child waiting.
She is a poor woman betrayed by her husband and best friend. How much she loves and how much she hates.
The initiator was released by Zhou Quan and Chen, but the poor woman was punished. What values do you want to express?
Watching the whole movie makes people feel that the plot is completely pieced together.
If it's a comedy, I really think the punch line is superficial and soulless.
