The story of the Three Kingdoms period has always been a popular material for film and television adaptations.
white-faced Cao Cao , red-faced Guan Gong , black-faced Zhang Fei , are all the most popular figures of that era. "The New Three Kingdoms Invincible", released on May 1st, is adapted from the electronic game of the same name by Glory Tecmo. It tells the story of heroes from all walks of life rising and competing for the world in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
movies are full of big names, including actor Louis Koo , powerful actor Wang Kai , and familiar idol teenager Han Geng , Yang Youning and others.
However, such a lineup still lost in May Day, and only received a box office of 15.26 million , which is less than a fraction of the two movies "" and "Your Wedding".
I thought of "punch", but I didn't expect "punch" to be so powerful. What's the problem?

In fact, this movie has released the makeup photos in 2017.
has been delayed for 4 years until this year.
movie creates a young version of the "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", which mainly focuses on describing the early stories of the Three Kingdoms, such as the Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu, the Huge Wine Killing Hua Xiong , and the Yellow Turban Army Uprising.
In this period of history, Cao Cao, Liu Bei , Guan Yu and others are still relatively young.
According to the director's introduction, Cao Cao was only 30 years old at that time.
It can also be seen from the stills that Cao Cao, played by Wang Kai, has no beard, and most of them are young actors in casting.
Lu Bu played by Louis Koo is a special starring role.
In the promotional poster, he and the male lead Wang Kai occupy the C position at the same time.
is visible, and the film company still attaches great importance to Louis Koo.
The Lu Bu he starred in is completely different from the police and gangster films he starred in in the past.
He has a sharp look. As the main combat power of the Three Kingdoms period, many classic scenes happened to him.
And Cao Cao, who played by Wang Kai, is still very different from the treacherous hero in the minds of the audience. Compared with the classic version of
and the classic version of Bao Guoan , Yu Hewei and others, although Wang Kai is very handsome and young and cold, he lacks a complicated side.
It is also possible that Wang Kai has played many positive roles, and there is still a lack of control over such complex and changeable characters.
02,
In addition to the two male protagonists, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the most controversial ones.
This is also the most complaints from viewers.
Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms period was one of the most prominent characters. He was loyal and brave all his life. He was a highly respected "martial saint" in the temple or among the people.
Even viewers who do not read history may know the story of "killing Hua Xiong with warm wine", "killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou", "killing the Seven Army ", "hanging seals and sealing gold", "passing five passes and killing six generals".
There are many actors who have played Guan Yu, and the most classic one is Guan Gong, who played by teacher Lu Shuming.
Even after more than 20 years, in the mind of the old editor, Lu Shuming can still be called a god.
How classic is it?
It is said that as soon as Lu Shuming put on makeup appears on the set , ordinary people kowtowed to him.
He truly interprets Guan Gong's majesty and heroism.
Even later, Guan Gong, who starred in , was also in both form and spirit.
And Han Geng is a traffic actor, singing and dancing very well, but traffic stars play a generation of martial arts saints, which is too out of the play.
Slim figure and melon-shaped face are gone, the magical martial arts of the martial saint in the minds of the audience.
It can be seen that Han Geng is also working hard to "pull his beard and play with a big knife", but only "shape" is the lack of the "god" of the character. The failure of
03, and
casting are important factors in the failure of this movie.
In fact, in addition to a few main characters, there are some old actors who are quite good.
For example, Yuan Shao played by Lu Liangwei , Dong Zhuo played by teacher Lin Xue , Zhang Jiao played by Jiang Haowen , etc.
These characters do not have many scenes, but they make people find a familiar feeling.
Especially when Dong Zhuo appeared, the "inner flavor" already existed.
After all, the director can cast the role according to his original image. I don’t know why he chose a few young and handsome guys to take on the role.
Young and handsome guys are good-looking and popular, but appearance is not a guarantee of success.
Compared with the box office that is hundreds of millions and the huge passerby, the fans of traffic stars are really awesome.
