Xu Guanghan and Zhang Junning starred in "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea", which came with the charming aura of the leading actors and the charm of the original work's high scores. Therefore, the expectations of many viewers are very high, especially the fans of the two protagonists, who can be said to be unwilling to watch.
The early publicity of "Hiding from the Sky and the Sea" is very in place, and the two protagonists have a lot of early publicity **, which has gradually raised our expectations.
But I still didn't know too much about the film in advance, and when I watched the film with great expectations, I found that ** is also quite "Chen Sicheng", which is the style of Chen's suspense films. Positioning in Southeast Asia, the continuous reversal of the plot, the transformation of the characters from innocent to villainous, etc., "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" gives us both like "Manslaughter" and "She Who Disappeared".
And from the two protagonists being alone, from talking about cases to negotiating, I realized when I watched it, isn't this the "Invisible Guest" that we have all watched?
After watching the movie, I went to understand that "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" is indeed an adaptation of "The Invisible Guest". Note that this is not called a remake, but an adaptation. There was also a "Death Without Proof" before, which was a more perfect remake, the plot and characters have not changed, but the interpretation of some actors in the roles is more tense, so it has also received a lot of praise.
For "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea", just with the help of the bones of "The Invisible Guest", the overall plot is almost a makeover. If it weren't for the fact that the two protagonists hadn't been talking indoors, the plot would be a remake of "Disappearing Her"!
Maybe everyone can say that the director is paying tribute to "Chen Sicheng", after all, the overall style of "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" is a bit similar to "Manslaughter" and "She Who Disappeared" supervised by Chen Sicheng. I believe that for some passers-by who have no known origin, when they walk out of the cinema, they will praise "Another Chen Sicheng movie is worth recommending!".”
However, "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" is an adaptation of "The Invisible Guest" in terms of script, and the way of adaptation I describe it as "magic change".
First of all, "Hiding from the World" has a "complete reversal" with the original book in terms of the gender and age of the characters, which makes it difficult for audiences who like the original work to have a sense of fall;
Secondly, "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" completely defines the way that the villain protagonist of the original book seems to be "manslaughter" as "**This will discount the ethical emotions of some audiences;
Moreover, "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" is completely about the poor fighting the rich, but there are people behind it;The original work is obviously that the weak party arranges the whole routine completely by its own efforts, which will make the audience more convincing in terms of rationality and rationality.
In terms of characters, Xu Guanghan and Zhang Junning imitated the-for-tat debate between the two protagonists in the original book, but the overall atmosphere and meaning are completely different.
In the original book, the lawyer was invited by a wealthy man to come and discuss things. In "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea", the police seem to have been invited by a rich man, but the atmosphere is obviously that the police are a little uninvited.
The policeman played by Xu Guanghan also deliberately created himself as a "black policeman", and even added a lot of provocative actions. I don't know if Xu Guanghan's own image is a problem, I always find it difficult to understand his purpose of being a "black policeman", maybe I feel that he is "not black", he just relies on the "official information" that he can keep taking out from the notebook in his hand (the support behind it is too strong!）
Zhang Junning has the meaning of going out this time, playing a femme fatale. And if you want to play the femme fatale, you have to be ruthless in order to be more ruthless in the application.
Obviously, Zhang Junning worked very hard to create this character, and he tried his best to make himself more ruthless!
Its situation at the end is the same as the role played by Zhu Yilong in "She Who Disappeared". But it is obvious that there are no audiences in all movie theaters to destroy the posters and other material events of "Hidden from the Sea". In contrast, Zhang Junning's interpretation is not so thorough.
In fact, Xu Guanghan and Zhang Junning's image in the hearts of most viewers is very positive, and it is a little difficult to accept that they will be bad. Perhaps this is the reason why the credibility of the whole "Hiding from the World" has been greatly reduced...
