Feng Xiaogang, Ge You and ** collaborated on the comedy romance movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" series has been loved by the audience since its first release in 2006. The third work "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3" is set in 2031, which has become a big expectation for this year's Chinese New Year. However, after the film was released yesterday, the box office was only 25.1 million yuan, and the attendance rate ranked last among the new films in the same period, which is really regrettable. In order to make up for the audience's discomfort with Ge You's age, Feng Xiaogang deliberately designed a bionic robot Liang Xiaoxiao, and added many detailed descriptions of the characteristics of the bionic person. The film also makes extensive use of the images of the first two films to shorten the distance with the audience, but it is also limited in the advancement of the story. Compared with the original, the performance of "Do Not Disturb 3" seems to lack something. This article will provide a unique interpretation of various aspects of the film and take you back to the highly anticipated film. First of all, the audience's discomfort with Ge You's age is one of the main reasons why the box office of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3" failed to meet expectations.
Feng Xiaogang was also aware of this, so he deliberately designed a bionic robot Liang Xiaoxiao. This character is not only designed to make up for the shortcomings of Ge You's age, but also adds a lot of jokes to the film. In terms of the characteristics of treating androids, Feng Xiaogang showed his keen observation of art, and skillfully tested the authenticity of Xiaoxiao through blowing, number multiplication, etc., adding some new highlights to the film. This kind of processing allows the audience to feel Feng Xiaogang's deep understanding of the audience's emotions in the process of enjoying the film, which also adds a lot to the film. At the same time, "Do Not Disturb 3" deliberately enlarged the pictures in the first two movies and used it to attract audiences in the form of nostalgic cards, which also brought a certain improvement to the viewing of the film. This kind of deliberate magnification can obviously see that Feng Xiaogang wants to shorten the distance between him and the audience very much this time, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as "deliberately pleased".
The main actors of the first two films in the film, such as Fan Wei, Li Chengru, Wu Yicong, Yao Chen, etc., all returned, which not only satisfied the audience's sense of nostalgia, but also added some emotional thickness to the film. But at the same time, this technique also restricts the advancement of the film's story, making the audience feel some aesthetic fatigue. In addition, the film's insight into love is also its brilliance. The relationship between Qin Fen and the android smile, as well as when the two "true and false smiles" appeared at the same time, Qin Fen's inner pull and conflict were all grasped by Feng Xiaogang very well. In the middle of the film, the identity of the real and false smiles was cleverly "replaced", and the joy generated by such a dislocation also added some interest to the film. But the age of the actors in the film, as well as Feng Xiaogang's excessive tribute to his previous works, seem to have also made the film lose some of its innovative vitality and make the audience lose some interest in it. To sum up, although "Do Not Disturb 3" has made efforts in many aspects, its performance seems to lack some highlights.
The audience's discomfort with Ge You's age, as well as the film's excessive homage to its predecessor, may be the main reason why the film failed to attract audiences. Feng Xiaogang used to be the "king of Chinese New Year films", but this time he failed to save some face for himself after all. I hope that in his future works, Feng Xiaogang will be able to find new creative inspiration and bring more surprises and touches to the audience.
