In China's film and television industry, Xianxia dramas have always been very popular. As one of the masterpieces of Xianxia dramas, "Flower Thousand Bone" has set a very high ratings record and has also become popular with a group of actors.
However, when "Flower Thousand Bone" was adapted into a film version, it suffered a box office fiasco, with the director losing 100 million, and Chen Turin was also blamed as one of the main reasons for the box office.
The movie version of "Flower Thousand Bone" has been released in a low-key manner some time ago, but the box office is far lower than expected. In the first four days of its release, the box office only sold less than 5 million, which is obviously dismal for a big-budget movie. Soon, the director of "Flower Thousand Bone" came out to apologize, saying that he was surprised and guilty about the result, and felt that four years of hard work and dedication had not been duly rewarded.
However, the failure of the film version of "Flower Thousand Bone" was not without reason. First of all, from the perspective of the cast, the heroine Chen Duling's appearance and acting skills have been questioned.
Compared with Zhao Liying's performance in the drama version, Chen Duling's performance is obviously a little inadequate. And the appearance and temperament of the actor Li Chengbin are also considered to be inconsistent with the image of Bai Zihua in the original work.
In addition, the casting of other actors is also uneven, and they are described by netizens as "ugly in their own way". In addition to the cast, the plot is also one of the reasons for the failure of the movie version of "Flower Thousand Bone".
The movie version compresses the original 50 episodes of the plot into an hour and a half, resulting in the plot being too tight, the plot developing too quickly, and many details and emotions being ignored or omitted.
This also makes it impossible for the audience to fully understand and feel the development of the plot, let alone resonate with the characters. In addition, the editing and special effects of the movie version of "Flower Thousand Bone" were also criticized for not being excellent enough.
The editing of some scenes is confusing, and the special effects scenes are relatively rough, which makes the audience question the production quality of the film version.
The audience pays more attention to the acting skills of the actors and the quality of the production, which also reminds the producers and directors to be more careful and rigorous in the selection of actors and the production process. After the movie version of "Flower Thousand Bone" hit the street, many people blamed the heroine Chen Duling. The belief that her performance was not enough to attract the attention of the audience was one of the main reasons for the box office failure.
However, I don't think it's fair to place the blame entirely on Turin Chen. After all, the failure of the movie version of "Flower Thousand Bone" was caused by several factors, including the cast, plot, production quality, and more. In addition, today's audiences have higher and higher requirements for movies, and it is no longer the era of blind pursuit of IP. The audience pays more attention to the acting skills of the actors, the depth of the plot, and the quality of the production. This is also a reminder for producers and directors: in order to succeed in the highly competitive film market, you must have a good script, a good cast and a good production team.
In Cheng Wei's view, the failure of the film version of "Flower Thousand Bone" is a lesson, reminding producers and directors to be more cautious and rigorous in the selection of actors and the production process, and at the same time, it also reminds the audience to look at the IP boom in the film market more rationally and pay attention to the quality and value of the film.
The failure of the film version of Flower Thousand Bones is not an isolated incident, but also reflects some of the problems and challenges facing the current Chinese film market. Only through continuous efforts and innovation can the Chinese film market be made healthier and more prosperous.
