After the Korean movie "Seven Days" was released in 2007, it was regarded as a classic by countless audiences due to its continuous reversals, ups and downs, and exciting plots.
In 2018, the Japanese remake of "Seven Days" movie "Abduction Court" was released, although "Abduction Court" is not as exciting as "Seven Days", this version is more realistic and credible, and more logical.
In 2023, the Chinese film "Saving the Suspect", a remake of "Seven Days", will be released, but it is full of loopholes, the worst of the three versions.
Here are 8 differences between the three versions.
"Seven Days" and "Saving the Suspect" are both about the lawyer's daughter disappearing when he participates in his daughter's school run, while "Abduction Court" is about the lawyer's daughter disappearing when he attends his daughter's performance.
I think the Japanese version is the most exciting, but compared to the actors who play the daughter, the Chinese version is the cutest.
The Korean version and the Japanese version are asthma attacks, while the Chinese version is actually allergic to seafood, and the screenwriter of the adaptation is really "brain-opening".
The plot setting of the middle version is undoubtedly the worst.
Both the Korean and Chinese versions put the medicine in the dog bag, the dog ran back to the owner's car, and the person who took the medicine drove away.
In the Japanese version, between the two floors, the lawyer threw the medicine over, and the person who took the medicine drove away immediately.
Both the Korean and Chinese versions find their daughters hidden in boxes on the grass, while the Japanese versions find their missing daughters in abandoned buildings.
I think the Japanese version is the most plausible.
The identity of the person who fights side by side with the lawyer in the Korean version and the Chinese version is a policeman, while the Japanese version is a "lawyer", and according to the development of the plot, the Japanese version is more accurately positioned.
However, the "comrade-in-arms" played by Li Hongqi is the best of the three versions.
Both the Korean and Chinese versions are police officers who fight alongside the lawyer, while the Japanese version of the lawyer goes deep into the tiger's den alone.
I think this treatment has its own merits, no matter how good it is.
The Chinese version was the first to expose the identity of the "prosecutor general", the Korean version was the middle to expose the "prosecutor" who broke the law for his son's knowledge, and the Japanese version revealed that the "parliamentarian" was covering up his son's crime in the second half.
In the Japanese version, the lawyer only learned the identity of the "parliamentarian" after multiple investigations, which is more in line with the development of the plot.
In the Korean and Japanese versions, the victim's mother finally avenges her daughter, but in a different way. The mother of the victim in the Chinese version not only failed to strangle the "real murderer of her daughter" as she wished, but even lost her own life.
The Chinese version even added a plot where the lawyer stopped the strangulation, which I think is a failure.
It is worth mentioning that all three versions of the role of the victim's mother were successful.
Through these eight different presentations, I think the Japanese version of "Abduction Court" is the most realistic and logical.
And the Korean version of "Seven Days" is better because the heroine is too beautiful, the soundtrack is better, and the plot is more ups and downs.
As for the Chinese version of "Saving the Suspect", the logic is the worst, and many plots are inexplicable, just like the plot of the lawyer and his daughter showing off their long legs in the bathtub, just "showing off their long legs", and the Korean version explains that the background here is "My daughter is worried that she can't win the running competition, and the lawyer stretches out her long legs and tells her daughter that she was a sprint champion".
Conclusion: Many Chinese remakes of films from other countries do not get the essence and seem nondescript, just like "Saving the Suspect".
I think the most successful film remake in China is "Twelve Citizens", which is "better than blue".
