I don’t know if you still remember the Vietnamese hair-cutting and blow-drying group HKT. When they first debuted, they looked like this:
A strong aristocratic style that blinded netizens. Eye.
But later this Vietnamese group transformed, and the hairstyles of the three of them also changed to this:
Shamat changed into Korean style, which looked more pleasing to the eye.
Just when everyone thought that this group was going to "change their evil ways" and embark on the road of cleansing their names, they did not expect that they would make another big news.
Recently this group accepted an interview with a program to promote their new song as the theme song of the movie "More and More":
I was so scared that Poison Master immediately searched for this "More and More" What movie is it? I found the poster looks like this:
There is no Xu Zheng in the cast list, the only one who looks familiar is Wang Dazhi (his masterpieces "Soldier Assault" and "I am Not Wang Mao").
This is another bad domestic film that uses IP. It tells the story of a middle-aged single man who goes to Vietnam to find a wife. Since it happened in Vietnam, bringing the Vietnamese washing, cutting and blowing combination is very "local style".
The HTK in the stills has both the Shamut style of returning to the basics and the farmer-entrepreneur style.
It seems that they are going to take the comedian route of using self-deprecation as a punchline.
The film has been released, but the Douban score still shows that there are not enough reviewers. It seems that the promotion of the combination of washing, cutting and blowing has not attracted much attention.
The comment area was full of curses:
Only the trolls are still working tirelessly to whitewash it with five-star reviews.
It’s really hard to earn this money, thank you for your hard work
In fact, Xu Zheng’s “囧 series” itself has become worse and worse as time goes by. Although the recent film "囧" was a great success with a box office of 1.6 billion, it received negative reviews, with a Douban score of 5.7, which is far lower than "囧中文字幕" and "囧囧".
But even for such a meme that has been played badly, there are still people who are constantly gaining popularity.
A casual search will reveal an endless stream of low-budget copycat movies in the "囧 series":
"囧 in Australia"
You have "囧 in Hong Kong", I have "囧 in Australia". This bad copycat movie is obviously riding on the popularity of "囧 in Hong Kong" and was released ten days earlier than "囧 in Hong Kong". It is also created by the low B production team. The screenwriter is actually Song Zude. It has a Douban score of 2.9, which is well deserved.
What impresses me the most is the five-star evaluation from the film critics of Navy and Red Packet:
How dare you brag...
"Shanghai" "囧"
This is an Internet drama, and it is also riding on the popularity of "囧". There are not enough people to rate it on Douban, so the poster is probably made of beautiful pictures.
The only five-star review in the comment section was written by the director himself, which is also not modest.
After seeing the ending, I was deeply impressed. If they disagreed, they would rely on the system and take the blame.
"We filmmakers just want to do one simple thing: tell stories to the audience, and tell good stories."
I was deeply moved...
p>
"囧"
The story takes place in Shenzhen, so this is another bad copycat movie named "City+囧". If this continues, it feels like every city in the country can make one. The movie has a Douban rating of 2.6.
According to complaints from fans in the comment area, the most disgusting thing about this bad movie is the way they promoted it: they had no money for publicity, so they used a large number of barrage ads on popular TV series on video websites.
Forget about the rubbish you filmed, do you still want to disgust everyone watching a good drama? Do you want to lose face?
"囧"
Douban score is 2.5. It can be seen from the poster that the biggest feature of this film is the addition of meat-selling elements, which is also commonly used in low-cost bad films. Eye-catching means.
The plot synopsis of the film is very similar to the American comedy "Two Treasures Fighting the Devil".
Synopsis of "囧囧": Tang Xiaojing, a senior graduate, and a group of six people went on an adventure trip. After a few people landed on a mysterious island, Zhang Haotian, the rich second generation who was traveling with them, told the story of what happened on the island three years ago. A murder case on the road, this legend made this group of young people accustomed to watching horror movies uneasy. On the way, they met two migrant worker brothers Yugan and Dan, who were menacing in appearance but cute and kind in heart. The cabin happened to land on the island, and the two parties, who didn't know it, met again on the island and started a ridiculous battle...
Synopsis of "Two Treasures Fighting the Devil": Feng He One sunny day, eight college students including Jack and Ellie drove to the forest of Lake Morris for vacation. It is said that a tragic massacre occurred here 20 years ago. This legend made this group of men and women uneasy, and the two local youths they met by chance on the way also made them feel lingering fears. The two young men were named Tok and Dale. Although they looked ferocious, they were really warm-hearted at heart. They met to go fishing near the mountain cabin on Lake Morris, and accidentally rescued Ellie who accidentally fell into the water at night. However, their good deeds were misunderstood by Ellie's friends as murderous atrocities. The reckless men and women were determined to rescue their friends, but they triggered a series of bloody tragedies...
As expected, some netizens in the comment area revealed that this movie was plagiarized from the poster to the plot of "Two Treasures Fighting the Devil" 》.
Part of the plagiarism points pointed out by netizen "Watching Movies":
In the promotion of the film, the film crew used the "Qiao Renliang death incident" some time ago to hype Qiao Renliang and "囧岛" 》Director SM died of suffocation.
The news is released first, and then the director himself refutes the rumors, in order to achieve the effect of hyping up the popularity.
Of course, some netizens immediately exposed the chat screenshots and other evidence of the film crew's hype, causing Qiao Renliang's fans to denounce the "囧" team.
I can only laugh at this method of using deceased people to create hype.
"Car on the Road"
Not only are the little-known low B teams using IP, some big names in the entertainment industry will also make such bad movies, such as Guo Degang's " When it was released, many people thought that this movie had something to do with "Car on the Road".
With Guo Degang as the supporter, this film is obviously much more famous than the bad films above. *** 14,799 people have rated it, and the score is 4.0, the highest among these bad films. However, it seems that the fewer people who know about this "black history", the better.
The negative reviews in the comment area show that Guo Degang is indeed good at cross talk, but acting in movies is another matter.
Take a look at the movies Guo Degang has participated in over the years. Most of them have a score of less than 5.
So why do people who talk about cross talk insist on acting in movies? Including the two "traitors" in Guo Degang's words, each of the movies he made is worse than the other, so why bother to undermine each other?
Maybe making a movie is really more profitable than cross talk, no matter how bad it is.
In addition to the ones listed above, there are actually low-cost bad movies such as "Cantonese Lost" and "Korean Lost". Facing so many copycats and taking advantage of the situation, director Xu Zheng also expressed his views through the media.
Xu Zheng’s original words are as follows:
“IPization is not necessarily a very material IPization. From a humanistic perspective, human embarrassment can also be IPized. Humanities The IP of "囧" was gradually formed. Everyone knows that the word "囧" belongs to Xu Zheng, because he has made several such films in succession. However, Australian and Korean "囧" appear frequently on the Internet, and we cannot stop others from making them. . Although there is copyright protection, how can you make the word "囧" your own? I think the real IP is actually the brand."
Taking these copycat movies too seriously actually helps. The other party was hyping up, and Xu Zheng's answer was generous and confident, without an aggressive attitude, nor did he get into a fight with the copycats.
When I was chatting with an industry insider, the other person revealed the reason why these bad movies exist. The other party said: "We are not afraid that the audience will not watch this kind of film, but we are afraid that the leaders will be dissatisfied."
In addition to making bad films, this industry insider will also be responsible for some local promotional videos, advertisements, etc. wait. For them, making a movie is much more important than making a good movie.
Therefore, some films may not be made for the audience at all, so everyone should just be a fan. Anyway, you will not pay to watch something that lowers your IQ.
