This year's Spring Festival competition is very fierce, especially Wu Jing 's " Changjin Lake: Watermen Bridge " and Zhang Yimou 's " Sniper " directed by Zhang Yimou . It has not yet ushered in the Spring Festival, but the themes are very popular.
Judging from the current data popularity, "Changjin Lake: Watergate Bridge" basically firmly sits at the top of the box office during the Spring Festival. It’s just that Shen Teng’s “ Super Family ” was unfortunately offline, leaving no replacement for the popcorn comedy this year.
This also reminds the audience of Stephen Chow 4 years ago, which has already started creating the comedy variety show " Star Mermaid " to select actresses for the movie.
With the blessing of Stephen Chow and the great success of the first part, the audience has high expectations for "Mermaid 2". If it can be launched during this year's Spring Festival, comedy-themed movies will have basic guarantees.
But unfortunately, although the latest news has been reported in "Mermaid 2", it cannot be released for the time being.
Lin Yun and Allen partner to create a fantasy comedy blockbuster
The comedy that is about to be launched during the Spring Festival this year is actually a bit weak. The pure comedy " The Killer Not So Calm" is partnered by Ma Li and Wei Xiang . Their previous works were also unsatisfactory if they left Shen Teng, and the quality of this movie is hard to say.
As for the movie " Four Seas ", although it has both comedy elements and Shen Teng, the protagonists are Liu Haoran and Liu Haocun . Shen Teng, as the three episodes, is not the core of the plot.
Overall, the audience really hopes that Stephen Chow's "Mermaid 2" can be launched to support the comedy theme.
As for Lin Yun's acting skills, the audience actually has a clear vision in their hearts. After all, after "The Mermaid", Lin Yun's development in film and television dramas has been on a downward trend. In 2020, the TV series " Red Riding Flower " starring her had a reputation score of only 2.6 points, making it an unquestionable bad drama.
However, although Lin Yun’s acting skills are not outstanding, he has a high degree of adaptation with Stephen Chow. Her youthful acting attributes and Stephen Chow's nonsensical comedy style are not that awkward. Otherwise, "The Mermaid" would not have become a comedy movie that was a big hit at the box office.
As for Allen, who is partnering with Lin Yun, let alone. The movie " Shameful Iron Fist " can show Alan's comedy charm, and Alan's comedy style can successfully attract attention even in front of a beautiful idol like Yang Yang .
In terms of lineup, "Mermaid 2" has the conditions that the audience expects, not to mention that this is a movie by Stephen Chow.
For most viewers, Stephen Chow's comedy has always been the ceiling in domestic comedy. Those classics are well-known, and just for the sake of feelings, a large number of viewers will enter the cinema for Stephen Chow. Stephen Chow actually doesn't need to worry about the audience not buying it for a work like
. It’s just that the actor , Huang Yishan, who has worked with Stephen Chow many times, revealed the reason why "Mermaid 2" has not been launched yet.
"Mermaid 2" has been in a backlog for 4 years, and the latest news finally came out
"Mermaid 2" took 4 years, but the audience's enthusiasm for this movie is still high. On January 20, actor Huang Yishan finally revealed the latest news about the release of "Mermaid 2".
According to Huang Yishan, "Mermaid 2" has not been launched for a long time because Stephen Chow is not very satisfied with the movie's post-production special effects. Huang Yishan bluntly stated that Stephen Chow's persistence in movies has reached the level of unprecedented and unprecedented levels. This standard "is no longer a requirement of the movie, but a level that can be remembered forever."
And "Mermaid 2" itself is planned to be launched in 2019. During this period, the movie has not yet met Stephen Chow's standards, so it has been reshooting the shots. In 2020, Stephen Chow's plan to re-sell in the mainland was also put on hold.
In short, Stephen Chow's high standards for "Mermaid 2" are the reasons why this movie has not been launched for a long time.After all, a large number of special effects shots are used in "Mermaid", so if you want to be more outstanding in "Mermaid 2", you can only add more effort to the plot and the later stage.
Moreover, in addition to the main line of mermaid, "Mermaid 2" also adds the sci-fi storyline of space. The mermaid Shanshan in the play accidentally became an astronaut. The plot setting is very clear and requires the perfect cooperation of the special effects in the later stage. Thinking of this, it is no wonder that Stephen Chow pays so much attention to the special effects of the movie.
Although it is unlikely to see "Mermaid 2" during the Spring Festival, Huang Yishan also said that everyone can look forward to this year's summer season.
Currently, the release date of "Mermaid 2" on major platforms has also been changed to 2022, indicating that the movie is indeed in the stage of preparation for launch. The movie is a very critical work for both the starring Lin Yun and the director Stephen Chow.
Of course, a movie took so long to be launched, which will inevitably increase the audience's expectations, especially Huang Yishan revealed Stephen Chow's attitude towards the movie "striving for excellence", which made the audience look forward to the finished product of "Mermaid 2".
Under such pressure, the launch of "Mermaid 2" will surely attract many netizens to watch. As audiences, we can only look forward to the quality of the movie and not let down the audience's waiting for the past 4 years.
