The fantasy suspense film "Lighting Store", adapted from Jiang Cao's comic work of the same name, is currently in theaters, and the film's focus on love and family affection is very moving, as of press time, the cumulative box office is 13.4 billion.
In recent years, "Get Out!"."Tumor Jun", "Take My Brother Away", "Walking on the Moon Alone", "I Love You!".and many other comic movies have gained a good reputation and market response, and their success is worth summarizing.
Comic book adaptations of live-action movies are booming.
"Lighting Store" largely restores the character characteristics and narrative style of the original book. Han Yan's work "I Love You!", which was released in the summer of this yearis also based on Ginger Cao's comics, which is different from the horror and fantasy style of "The Illumination Store", "I Love You!"."The main theme is warmth**, with the love of the elderly as the core, telling the story of two pairs of ancient old people who still love each other firmly at the end of their lives.
In fact, as early as 2015, the movie "Get Out!", also directed by Han Yan and adapted from Xiong Dun's comic of the same name"Tumor Jun" has explored the way of innovation for domestic films with a novel film language and changeable painting style, and also let the market see the potential of adapting comics to live-action films. Since then, live-action movies such as "Take My Brother Away" and "Lonely on the Moon" have been recognized by the audience.
Film critic Tan Fei bluntly said that the success rate of comic book adaptation is relatively high, because most of the adapted comics are relatively successful and have an IP foundation. But it should be noted that the comic is adapted into a live-action movie, and it is necessary to find a down-to-earth password and solve the problem of changing the comic environment to real life.
Balance the fit between the actor and the original character.
Different from art forms such as ** and drama, the unique style of comics is in a class of its own. Therefore, in the process of adapting a movie, how to rationalize the adaptation is a big test for the film creator.
Tan Fei said that from graphics to images, the picture must be changed a lot, and the character selection, character design, and social environment matching must be changed.
In addition, based on the original IP, in addition to the adaptation with a sense of substitution, the fit between the actors and the comic character settings, as well as the emotional interpretation, are also a key factor in the success of the manga live-action film.
In Tan Fei's view, the choice of actors is very important. "Take My Brother Away" Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng, "Walking on the Moon Alone" Shen Teng and Ma Li, "I Love You!".Ni Dahong and Hui Yinghong, including "Get Out!".Bai Baihe in "Tumor Jun", these castings are very convincing.
There is still a lot of room for adapting comics into live-action films.
Nowadays, many movie creators have set their sights on comics.
Director Wu Ershan's live-action film adaptation of the manga "Under One Man" has been launched. It is believed that with the joint efforts of the domestic comic market and film creators, more possibilities can be explored for comic adaptations in the future.
Tan Fei suggested that after getting a comic IP, creators should focus on how to adapt it better, rather than taking a mature IP as the only prerequisite for success.
