Speaking of comedy, the first thing that everyone thinks of must be Stephen Chow .
But Stephen Chow has not appeared again since " The New King of Comedy ", but this time there is a movie "New Truant Dragon".
In 1991, a movie " Play Back to School and Dragon " was released. In the first week of its release, the film broke all box office records for "midnight show in Hong Kong", "four o'clock show in Hong Kong", "second four o'clock show", "first day of opening", "Saturday", "Sunday" and "first week of release", and finally earned a total box office of 43 million Hong Kong dollars.
At that time, because of this movie, a campus comedy trend emerged. Even today, 30 years later, the lines of the "Truant School" series are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are still remakes of similar themes. I just didn't expect that this remake would be a direct continuation of "Play Back to School".
"New Truant Dragon" stars the original cast (except Stephen Chow), such as Huang Yishan , Huang Yifei , etc. You may not know who these two names are, but you must have seen the movies they played in and can remember their faces.
is like Huang Yifei who has acted in " Shaolin Football ", "Domestic Lingling Paint", " Jiupin Sesame Official ", " Variety Star King ", " Ouchi Secret Agent Linglingfa ", etc.
and the "Tang Sanzang" in "Journey to the West" that everyone is familiar with Luo Jiaying.
Without Stephen Chow, the protagonist this time is a passerby actor named Zhang Hao. He is a director who makes web dramas and web drama movies. After watching his previous works, I found that he basically directed and acted in them.
He plays a criminal policeman in "New School Truant", which is very similar to the previous plot of Star Master . He was sent to an aristocratic school as an undercover agent, but he also faced a dilemma. Not only did he like his teacher, he also had to protect the daughter of the witness and find the witness.
No one can imitate Stephen Chow's nonsensical comedy, so in this movie, opportunism is combined with Northeastern and Hong Kong style, and the jokes are concentrated "popcorn".
Moreover, Zhang Hao has no acting skills at all. Whether he is surprised, panicked or nervous, his expression is almost the same. He is even very confident in his own director's IP and even includes private goods in the movie.
What is even more difficult to accept is that many plots of "The New Captain" are borrowed from Stephen Chow's previous movies. I wonder where the "new" is reflected?
In "Fight Back to School", Zhou Xingchi (played by Stephen Chow) gradually fell in love with his teacher ( Zhang Min ) when he was working as an undercover agent in school. "New Play Back to School" also has the same setting, and the teacher is played by "Jing Girl" Tong Fei.
In addition, this movie was also criticized by many people as a "pornographic film" because they wanted to imitate Stephen Chow, but they did not expect to become a wretched man.
For example, in the scene of the students' outing, the director specially filmed the worthless part of the yacht going out to sea, and a large number of shots deliberately focused on certain parts of the female body. This kind of shooting method has long been despised by movie fans. Since the film has not been rated, these shooting methods that deliberately magnify certain special parts of women are obviously very inappropriate.
There is even a scene where Zhang Hao takes an exam and then uses a hidden camera to film the female teacher. In this section, both the pictures and the lines in the script are open to question.
Overall, it is shameful that this movie has soared to the top of the popular movie list just to gain popularity. Although the sentiment is good, the customers who pay the bill must keep their eyes open. Sometimes when watching a movie because of the sentiment, it is better to find the original classic and watch it.
