"So I temporarily close your eyes, and my expectations float in the darkness." After waiting for 3 years, this song finally sounded in theaters, and the movie version of "Want to See You" was released nationwide on December 24. The reporter noticed that the Douban score of the drama version of "Want to See You" was as high as 9.2. However, regrettably, the Douban score of the movie version of "Want to See You" has dropped to 6.7. Both die-hard fans of the series and ordinary viewers said that although and Xu Guanghan are still so handsome, the movie version is simply a collection of MVs, combining the leftovers from the series to make it more like a spin-off.
Three years ago, the drama version of "Want to Meet You" became popular in Asia and received a score of 9.2 points. At the same time, it also left a lot of emotions. So when the movie version of "Want to See You" suddenly aired on the Lunar New Year schedule, many fans bought their tickets early and prepared to rush into the theater as soon as possible, just to witness once again Huang Yuxuan (played by Ke Jiayan ) and Li Ziwei (played by Xu Guanghan) who are destined to fall in love and travel in both directions across the timeline.
It is reported that the pre-sale box office of "Want to See You" was close to 10 million the day after the pre-sale was launched at the same time.
Let’s first talk about the drama version of “Want to See You” aired in 2019. It is an urban fantasy suspense love drama directed by Huang Tianren and starring Ke Jiayan, Shi Boyu, etc. The film cleverly uses the concept of the Möbius strip that can make time infinitely loop, telling the story of the heroes and heroines in 1998 and 2019 respectively, traveling through time and space through a tape to find each other’s love story.
This drama has two highlights. First, the male and female protagonists appear as three characters in different timelines, and then unfold a complicated and entangled love story; second, the brain-burning reasoning and drama-chasing pleasure brought by the wireless time loop.
Because of its novel narrative techniques and solid story shooting, this drama quickly became a hit. After the TV series was aired, the movie version was quickly launched. The director and starring actors of the movie version of "Want to Meet You" are still the same cast, including the familiar Feng Nan team and the youthful Li Ziwei, but the screenwriter has been changed and new characters have been added.
However, reporters noticed that after the first weekend, the movie version of "Want to Meet You" dropped to 6.7 on Douban. Many viewers said that although the movie is indeed full of emotions, such as the tape of wubai, the back figure running in the rain, Huang Yuxuan's third birthday wish, Mo Junjie's action of covering his left ear, the chance encounter between Li Ziwei and Xiao Huang Yuxuan, etc. But the movie version is really perfunctory, with a simple crossing line, a rushed ending, difficult to reconcile logic, lack of sense of suspense and atmosphere, and flat characters...
Some viewers said that in the first and second stages, the movie version of "Want to See You" can still be viewed as a fresh romance film with good-looking graphics, good songs, and fun performances. The feelings and memories scattered like sesame seeds can also bring tears to the eyes of fans. However, in the third and fourth stages, the cumbersome and confusing time travel, the superfluous drama, and the vigorous torture made the scattered feelings and memories disappear. The most important thing is that the most shocking thing about the drama version of "Want to See You" is the sense of "destiny" in the love between Li Ziwei and Huang Yuxuan. There is a kind of exclusivity that cannot be interfered by any external force, but the movie version cannot feel it at all!
What makes fans even more angry is that the film’s ticket purchase platform shows that there are three Easter eggs at the end of the film. However, after the subtitles ended, it was discovered that there was no so-called third easter egg. There are indeed two plot Easter eggs at the beginning of the rolling credits, and then there are some on-set photos. This made fans who were already dissatisfied even more angry.
Actually, going from the drama version to the movie version is a difficult proposition. The original version of the drama has left a deep impression on the audience. Whether it is a remake or a new story, the elements of "love + brain-burning" are difficult to achieve in just 2 hours.
reporters noticed that in recent years, many popular TV series are on the way to be adapted into movies, such as "Love is delicious", "I don't want to be friends with you", etc., and there are also movies such as "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" and "Looking for Qin", which are also adapted from the old dramas of the same name.
"Drama to Film" has brought richer themes and types to the film market. From the aspects of market and box office, "Drama to Film" has its own traffic, and has the reputation and popularity of the original work in advance, which reduces the investment risk .. However, judging from the overall situation of "drama to film" in the past, it is often difficult for new adaptations to achieve the reputation and popularity of their predecessors. The reason is that the producer's profit-seeking mentality is greater than a sincere creative attitude. It can be seen that in order to stir up a new flavor from cold rice, it is still necessary to throw away the crutch of IP and carry out original production in a down-to-earth manner.
