Online movies really have a mysterious persistence towards classic IPs. In 2021, Gillian Chung 's "The Gods: Daji" and "The Green Snake: The Forefather" can be said to have been ridiculed by the crowd. They are a good childhood goddess, but they are controversial because of their figure.
After all, the glory of the Hong Kong circle was difficult to continue back then. It was indeed difficult for Gillian Chung to become popular. This is also the situation facing many Hong Kong stars, who want to come to the mainland to get a share of the pie. However, time has passed, and they can't even get almost the same resources.
If you blindly act in Hong Kong dramas, the effect will not meet expectations. It can be seen from the popular "Integrity Sniper" that marketing has reached a certain level, but the popularity has never increased.
So some people took a different approach and tried to be their own director. The representative figures in this group are the popular child star Xie Xiaolong . If you don’t have the right resources, then just revive it yourself.
Now he is coming with a new movie "False School Detective" paying tribute to the classic, and it is broadcast on the online video platform, but the audience does not seem to buy it. Douban is filled with a large number of one or two-star bad reviews, which makes people feel helpless. The film mainly tells the story of Chen Hu (played by Shi Xiaolong), who was the first Shanghai police captain, entered the campus as an undercover agent, and then launched an investigation and gained love in order to crack a murder.
From the name to the plot, everyone can see that this film is to pay tribute to Stephen Chow 's movie " Fighting School Weilong ", but it can only be said that it has a similar appearance. After all, the nonsensical style exclusive to Stephen Chow can only be understood but not expressed in words. Even if it is a tribute, it will look like Dong Shixi's impression.
The story begins with a transaction scene. The female gangster sister-in-law was fighting with the protagonist who came to save the person with a submachine gun. Good guy, he couldn't hit a single shot, and those bullets ran around the protagonist. So the protagonist solved the female gangster and the gun with bare hands, and it felt like a magic drama.
But these fancy ones are all floating clouds, because the main purpose of this beginning is to let the male protagonist flirt with girls, and the hero saves the beauty and fall in love at first sight. Not to mention the cliché, it seems that the whole film is for them to fall in love.
Because at the end of the later stage, the male and female protagonists were inseparable from each other when the villain and his teammates were fighting, and they didn't know the location of the occasion at all. The drama party might want to make a sense of humor because his teammates kept asking for help, but in the eyes of the audience, such operations were either confusion or speechless.
In addition to the heavy proportion of emotional scenes, there is another problem with the film, which is that the case throughout the film, the person in the rickshaw suddenly received a lunch box, and it was the son of the minister's family. Through various clues, the male protagonist found that it was a girl who had been bullied by this son.
But the fact is that a girl killed someone by using a knife. Through a button, Li Jinhu, played by Zou Zhaolong, played by , also caused the male protagonist to fight fiercely with Li Jinhu.
. When everything was settled, the male protagonist discovered the connection. This operation looked quite familiar. If anyone didn't remember it, it could be prompted that it was Zhang Zifeng's evil smile, because the plot design highly coincides with " Detective Chinatown ".
This film is not out of the way online movies like to use female figures as gimmicks. As a teacher, the heroine wore a high-slit cheongsam all day long, and the camera always scans her figure. This kind of male gaze is really a must-have for the Internet.
It is worth mentioning that Shi Xiaolong fully demonstrated his martial arts skills in the film, and was neat and neat. The opponents of Zou Zhaolong can be said to be wonderful, but it is far from enough to be outstanding in a film as a fighting scene. There are too many problems with literary dramas and it is hard to ignore.
Audiences really no longer want to save face for Jackie Chan. The constant negative reviews may also be the feature of big online movies, but in fact, some people still feel sorry for Jackie Chan.
After all, Shi Xiaolong did leave a deep impression on everyone in his youth in works such as "Young Bao Qingtian", "New Oolongyuan", " Boy Huang Feihong ", but he was abandoned under the wave of the great era, and his road to becoming popular was also quite bumpy.
Shi Xiaolong has never given up struggling in recent years, but since the 4.4 point of "The Legend of Wu Dong Qiankun" in 2018,Shi Xiaolong has embarked on a wrong path. Although he has not many scenes in the play, he has indeed been affected to a certain extent.
2020 Shi Xiaolong collaborated with Zhao Wenzhuo , Mao Linlin and others to " Hero Huo Yuanjia ", but the effect did not meet expectations. A group of actors waiting to become famous gathered together to keep warm, and the final score was only 5.5.
By 2021, the movie "Yan Chixia's Demon Hunting" starring Shi Xiaolong will be broadcast in the theater, but the box office can only hover around 3,000 yuan in a single day, and the box office has not exceeded 10,000 yuan in a week. I can only switch to the online platform and make a comeback online in advance.
This is mainly because the film company is not confident enough about the quality of the film. Shi Xiaolong no longer had any box office appeal at that time, so he could only escape quickly. The final score of the film was only 4.7.
Xu Xiaolong may feel that the script delayed his performance, so he chose to direct and act in this movie "The Detective of Fooling School", but it may not have reached the passing level. It gives people the feeling that he is too eager for quick success and wants to become popular.
But without the resources and confidence, when the times abandoned him, they would not even say hello. Since the frequent failures in the past few years, this problem can be reflected. From his performance to his aesthetics, it seems that there is no way to collide with the trend.
seems to be a better development among child stars. Guan Xiaotong , Wu Lei , Zhao Jinmai If you want to compare fighting scenes, it is indeed not as good as Shi Xiaolong, but they all took the traffic route and catered to the aesthetics of young people. Although the popularity is uneven, their popularity has always been low.
On the other hand, the situation of Shi Xiaolong is that he has starred in " Baolian Lantern ". He is obviously strong and has acting skills, but he is not successful. His previous performance form has had too deep influence on him, and he wants to fully express himself, so he will be overly forceful.
The key point is that in this era of traffic dominance, it is not a big problem for outdated child stars to sell their feelings and do live broadcasts, but it is basically impossible to become popular through feelings. Therefore, not only does not have traffic, but even the quality of Shi Xiaolong’s works are not done well, and they are abandoned by the times, which may be reasonable.
In short, the movie "False Detective" is not much different from other major online movies, and the limited production level shows that the effect does not reach the passing line.
No matter how hard Shi Xiaolong and Zou Zhaolong can fight, they cannot change the situation of the film's failure. No matter how difficult it is for a child star to stand up, it has caused many people to shed tears of the times. Survival of the fittest is really the truth. So do you think Shi Xiaolong still has a chance to stand up again?
