"The Crowd" and "The Sheep Without a Shepherd" are both remakes. Why is the box office gap so big?

After the Spring Festival movie "Crowd" was released, everyone saw that the results were not bad, because it was also good for Andy Lau to participate in the comments. "Sheep without a shepherd" was a remake of the Indian film "Killing the sky by mistake" and received rave reviews when it was released. So, these two films are remakes, why is the box office gap obvious?

One: manslaughter remake is very suspense. Sheep without a Shepherd is adapted from the Indian film Mistakes Hide the Sky, which was released on 20 15. The original book won a lot of praise with its wonderful drama content, and still maintained a high score of 8.5 in Douban. And "Sheep without Shepherd" is also good, with a suspense film with a score of 7.6 in Douban, which is higher than 78%. This achievement can be a highlight in the history of China's remake, but the only fly in the ointment is that the ending of this film is full of controversy.

Sheep Without a Shepherd is directed by young director Sam Quah and produced by Chen Sicheng. The big scene of the story is set in a virtual town in Southeast Asia, where good and evil are mixed. The local police use power for personal gain to squeeze the people, and the bottom people dare to be angry and dare not speak.

Li Weijie (Sean) and his wife, Ayu (Tan Zhuo), are an immigrant couple from China. Li Weijie runs a network company in a small town, which specializes in helping people repair network equipment. They have two daughters. They are poor, but they can also have fun in hardships.

As an ordinary person, Li Weijie has a common hobby, which is watching movies. He firmly believes that when you have seen more than 1000 movies, you will find nothing strange in this world.

Unexpectedly, things beyond ordinary people's imagination really happened to them. Li Weijie's eldest daughter, Pingping, attended the summer camp organized by the school. After being sexually assaulted by the police chief's son, Sucha, she also filmed a rape video.

After returning, Sucha urgently asked for a second date. As a result, when Sucha arrived at the garage, she accidentally "killed" Sucha in a dispute with Pingping and her mother Ayu. Where is Li Weijie at this time? After watching the boxing match, he called home many times, but no one answered. He always spends 600 plants and takes a taxi back to the disabled class overnight.

When he got home, he knew about it. In order to protect his daughter and family, he decided to use his film knowledge to excuse his family. As the police chief (Chen Chong), she becomes heartless when she thinks that her son must have been killed by Li Weijie's family. A thrilling game of life and death began.

The ups and downs of the plot, the tension created successfully, the actors' acting skills are online one after another, and the audience is hooked again and again. But at the end of the story, Li Weijie, his father who successfully cleared his name and won the support of the masses, chose to surrender. This makes the audience say, "Why?" Yes, I can live happily with my wife and children, and I can get together as a family. Why did you choose to turn yourself in? Some viewers even said that this ending is undoubtedly equivalent to suddenly splashing a plate of alpine ice water after drinking an aphrodisiac, and it came to an abrupt end.

Second: the crowd has an unexpected ending. In a word, A Group of People is an absurd comedy with a serious core. Referring to foreign recipes, the elements such as crime, love, absurdity, satire and tribute are integrated into one furnace. The story of this film is very simple. Andy Lau plays the number one killer, which has nothing to do with Sean's lonely group Chen. In an accident, the two exchanged identities by mistake, and since then, the absurd life of the two people has been started.

After being reduced to a group performance, Andy Lau took root at the bottom and blossomed the most dazzling flowers in the dust, which not only gained new love, but also found the direction of life again. After Sean was upgraded to a killer, he was desperate. In the days when he licked blood, he saved the day again and again. In this process, he also gained love and realized the true meaning of life. Just after they adapted to the new role, a murder case once again entangled their fate.

Judging from the quality of the whole film, Andy Lau, the leading actor and producer, really kept his word, and he didn't let the audience down. Therefore, as long as the word-of-mouth of the crowd continues to ferment, the stamina of this film is definitely not bad.

For other mass fans, the quality of movies is the most important thing they consider before watching movies. I believe that with the advancement of the Spring Festival file, Crowd will once again stage a counter-attack box office miracle with word of mouth. The pre-sale of "The Crowd" was not ideal at the box office. Andy Lau apologized to Rao Xiaozhi in the live broadcast and laughed at himself "Which play I pre-sold was good".

In a word, these two films are classic films and deserve our praise for China films. If it were you, which one would you like?
