According to real-time data from Maoyan Professional Edition, the movie "Xibao" has grossed over 100 million in total box office on its 12th day of release. Although the film's box office has exceeded 100 million, which is good news for the film producers and creators, it is bad news for conscientious filmmakers. For book fans and ticket-buying audiences, it's like swallowing a fly. Why do I have such strong disgust? The reason is very simple. It is that the filming of the film is really bad. It is difficult to express in words, and I am extremely disappointed. The film is mainly directed by Wang Danyang and stars Guo Caijie and Zhang Guozhu. It is adapted from Yi Shu's novel of the same name. It tells the story of Jiang Xibao, a Cambridge student with excellent academic performance but from a poor family, who meets Xu Conghui, a rich girl on a plane, and is later pursued by his father and brother. , and finally started a love affair with his father Xu Cunzi, and his destiny completely changed.

To be honest, with the support of the novel and the strength of actors Guo Caijie and Zhang Guozhu, if the film is shot according to the plot of the novel, it won't be so bad, right? However, after I watched "King Kong River", I was really curious, so I bought a ticket to watch it again. After walking out of the theater, I couldn't help but feel unhappy. Douban only had a 3.4, which is a reputation disaster of the year.

It is undeniable that both Guo Caijie and Zhang Guozhu in the film are quite satisfactory. However, the director is really not very good. The character is not explored. How a rich man fell in love with a Cinderella, and then how Cinderella fell deeply in love, showed no regard for money, and the conflicts with his family were not seen in the character Xibao. The rich man's stupidity was shown in the film, but Cinderella's calculations were not, and it was completely reduced to nothing.

Also, on the one hand, the movie has made magical changes to the original novel. The wife is gone, Xibao no longer cheats on her, and the rich man no longer kills people. Everything seems so embarrassing. The core of the original work has also been completely distorted. The original story about how modern women should choose their self-worth has been transformed into a story of pure love in which Cinderella is saved by an "old prince". It's really incredible. Xibao, a girl who was originally sophisticated and materialistic, has become addicted to love. With this kind of cosmetic change, the whole story collapsed, and the later contradictions were no longer valid.
