In the film industry in 2024, I thought there would be a good start, but "A Thousand bones of Flower" by director Zhang Chaoli got off to a good start-- directly to the throne of bad films. CCTV can not help but use "miserable" to describe this film, which shows that it is very bad.
Speaking of this film, it has attracted a lot of attention from the beginning of preparation. With the addition of Zhao Liying and Jiang Xin, the expectation of this film has skyrocketed. The publicity campaign is so big that it seems that even if we don't win a box office champion, we are sorry for this show. Unfortunately, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
On the day of its premiere, "A Thousand bones of Flower" was directly at the bottom, and then the box office went down all the way, and cinema managers were probably secretly wiping away tears. The film, which looks gorgeous on the outside, is actually a failure of gold and jade. Just like an ugly duckling in a gorgeous dress, no matter how you dress up, you can't hide the inner mediocrity.
The audience also commented on the film mercilessly: "what are you shooting?" "it's a waste of my movie ticket money!" Even director Zhang Chaoli himself came forward to apologize under the pressure of public opinion, but unfortunately, the audience is not so easy to fool.
In the movie "A Thousand bones of Flower", if there is no plot and no acting skills, even the special effects are fifty cents. At the end of the whole movie, the only thing that can be remembered is the title of "king of bad movies".
The big screen of "A Thousand bones of Flower" turned over, and Director Zhang Chaoli was criticized for "magic reform" without a bottom line.
In the entertainment industry, director Zhang Chaoli was once praised as unlimited creativity, but this time, he seems to have tried too hard. As soon as the movie version of "A Thousand bones of Flowers" was released, it triggered a collective complaint from the audience-where is the story we are familiar with? it is simply "selling dog meat with a sheep's head"!
First of all, let's talk about the role of killing buildings. Originally, he was strong in force and on a par with Baizi painting, but he became a "soft-footed shrimp" in the movie. People stared at the plot when they were killed in a second by Ni all over the sky. The audience said that the change was too outrageous, so they might as well change the name to "the Legend of Neon Sky".
Let's talk about Sheng Xiaomo, who doesn't have a strong sense of existence in the original version, but he has become a villain BOSS in the movie. Not only dominated the fate of thousands of bones, but also made a bunch of ridiculous emotional plays. Obviously is a long stay immortal, but trapped by love, has become an infatuated species. This kind of setting simply makes people laugh or cry.
What is even more outrageous is that Sheng Xiaomo is blackened because of his love for purple smoke. In keeping with these three immortals, one of them is a normal person, and the other two are crazy about love. This kind of idol drama character setting is simply unacceptable.
And the love line in the movie is also a mess. The feelings between Baizi painting and Hua Qianbu are heating up inexplicably, and there is no logic at all to turn enemies into enemies. The two men kissed each other before the audience understood what was going on. This greasy and ugly kiss scene is really disappointing.
Not to mention director Zhang Chaoli also gave the emotional play that originally belonged to the leading actor and heroine to the couple of killing buildings and flowers. This kind of operation is really speechless. Did Director Zhang knock this pair by himself? Then there is no need to satisfy your selfish desires so brazenly.
As for the choice of actors, it is also indescribable. Zhao Liying's demon makeup is crazy, while Chen Duling's demon makeup is like "blackening" too much. Not to mention the casting of Baizi painting, the original immortal character has become an ugly man with "hot eyes" under the interpretation of Li Chengbin. This kind of contrast image makes the audience want to cry.
The shadow version of "Hua Qian Gu" suffered Waterloo, and Li Chengbin's version of Bai Zi was painted as a representative of "spicy eyes"
The situation in the entertainment industry is unpredictable, but some things, such as classic characters such as Baizi painting, like snow lotus in the mountains, are difficult to touch and replace easily. In the original novel, he is a kind of otherworldly, righteous existence, as if as long as he appears on the stage, the whole world will shine for it.
Back then, Huo Jianhua's version of Baizi painting had already made many fans of the original work feel a little different, but at least Huo Jianhua's appearance and temperament were still online, barely able to control the character. However, when Li Chengbin's version of Baizi painting was born, many viewers shouted "hot eyes." This is not an immortal-like Baizi painting, it is almost like Baizi painting has encountered "metamorphosis".
Costume styling is a big challenge for actors. Some actors are born with ancient costumes, as if they have traveled through thousands of years just for that costume, while some actors seem to be cursed by ancient costumes, and they can't wear that smell.
Obviously, Li Chengbin belongs to the latter. His appearance was originally on the strong side, and his facial features were also relatively open, which was more suitable for modern modeling. The ancient costume not only failed to cover up his shortcomings, but magnified all his shortcomings.
What is even more unacceptable is that Li Chengbin's figure management is obviously not in place. You know, although the role of Baizi painting is cold and aloof, he is also a skilled and elegant character.
But what about Li Chengbin? Visible fat, muscle lines disappear, leaving only a thick mass of "white meat" dangling in front of the camera. Such a figure to interpret white painting, simply a great challenge to the audience's eyes.
In addition to the lack of appearance, Li Chengbin's acting skills are also unflattering. Baizi painting is aloof, but definitely not facial paralysis. Li Chengbin's performance was so blunt and deliberate that he completely failed to grasp the essence of Baizi painting. Under his interpretation, Baizi is painted as a "crispy skin" that can only play cool and has no emotion.
The failure of the film "A Thousand bones of Flowers" is not just because of Li Chengbin's white paintings. There are serious problems in the production level, storyline and character setting of the whole film. High production volume but can not get the corresponding box office feedback, can only show one thing: the audience's eyes are clear, they will not be blinded by shoddy works.
For Li Chengbin, the failure of "spend a thousand bones" is undoubtedly a heavy blow. But then again, it was also the result of his own choice. I know clearly that my appearance and acting skills are not suitable for this role, but I have to go ahead and act, and I can only end up with a "hot eye" in the end.
It is hoped that this failure will bring some enlightenment to Li Chengbin and the entertainment industry as a whole: actors must do as much as they can when choosing roles, and producers should also be more careful and cautious in casting and making works. Only in this way can similar "tragedies" be prevented from happening again.
