A few days ago, it was rumored that Jackie Chan's "Longwei Boy", a classic series of movies, was going to be remade, and.
It has a certain audience base and emotional resonance. The series was already a huge success in the 80s and has a large number of loyal fans. Therefore, as long as the new film can continue the classic elements of the series, while adding new ideas and elements, it is likely to attract new and existing audiences**.
Jackie Chan is old, can he still eat? In the current situation where the film industry is rolled into a vegetable cake, whether "Longwei Kid" can still make waves, I am afraid that there is a question mark, at least at the box office, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue the glory of the past, and how many people will pay for the feelings of kung fu superstars back then?
So the new "Longwei Kid" is facing three difficulties.
First of all, the years are unforgiving, Jackie Chan, as a kung fu superstar, is already over the age of six, and his body may no longer be able to withstand the high-intensity action scene shooting as when he was young. Although the glory of the past may no longer be there, Jackie Chan's influence and appeal are still not to be underestimated. His name and image are a brand in their own right that can attract a large number of viewers to the ** movie. At the same time, Jackie Chan can also connect with a new generation of audiences through this film, inheriting his film spirit and martial arts culture. Of course, the success of the film also depends on the marketing strategy and promotion efforts. If the publicity and promotion of the film can make full use of Jackie Chan's influence and appeal, it may attract more audiences to come**, and at the same time combine the quality and reputation of the film itself.
Secondly, in the eyes of some netizens, Jackie Chan's acting skills have not made much breakthrough in his career, which may be related to his consistent style of comedy and action movies. In many of his films, he usually plays comedic roles that are agile and good at kung fu, a type of character that may limit the use and display of his acting skills. There is a certain similarity in the types of characters he plays in many of his films, often heroes with unique skills, humorous personalities, and good at resolving crises. But the repetition and repetition of this type of role may make the audience feel that he does not have much breakthrough in acting skills, or that there is a certain similarity in character performance. This style of performance used to have a distinctly personal character, incorporating various elements such as kung fu, comedy, and action, bringing many joys and surprises to the audience, but this trick, if not adding elements of the new era, may be difficult to attract a new generation of audiences. The film industry is constantly evolving and innovating, new technologies and concepts are emerging, and audiences' expectations for movies are constantly changing. Therefore, when restarting a classic film series, it is very important to add new era elements and ideas.
The last difficulty is that Jackie Chan's fans are also aging, and the young group is the main force at the box office.
As time goes on, Jackie Chan's fan base is also aging, and a new generation of viewers may be less interested in traditional action comedies. If Jackie Chan's films don't incorporate elements of the new era, it may indeed be difficult to attract these new audiences.
In short, if the new "Longwei Kid" wants to be vigorous, I'm afraid I have to weigh it, but I'm not optimistic about it anyway. I don't know what you guys think? Let us know what you think!
