Controversial Ancient Myth Movie 'The Enslavement of Misfortune': Rated 3.2 on Douban
Controversial Ancient Myth Movie 'The Enslavement of Misfortune': Rated 3.2 on Douban
2023-07-25
The movie 'The First Enslavement' is currently hot and gaining popularity and box office success. At the same time, the ancient fantasy myth movie 'The Enslavement of Misfortune' has also been released on online video platforms. Directed by Zhang Zhe, the film stars Yao Di, Wang Qunshi, Jing Gangshan, Wu Qi, Wang Jinsong, and others, mainly telling the story of Lei Zhenzi leaving the mountain upon the order of his teacher to protect Ji Chang and help him return to Xi Qi.
However, netizens have a lot of controversies about this movie, with its current Douban rating being 3.2. The focus on Lei Zhenzi and Yao Di's portrayal of Daji has been heavily criticized, and many people express that this movie is merely riding on the popularity of 'The First Enslavement'.
Just riding the coattails? Then it should be called 'The Enslavement of Misfortune: Ho Ho'.
This movie is clearly riding on the success of 'The First Enslavement', but Yao Di as Daji looks a bit older, and the portrayal of Lei Zhenzi is a messy deviation from the original.
Yao Di, well, not a familiar face. Her acting doesn't seem to hold up well; sometimes her expressions don't match the storyline. This movie should have been titled 'Lei Zhenzi's Chronicle'; it's rare to see another 'godly' figure like Nezha.
Looking closely, this is an online drama closely following the schedule of 'The First Enslavement', with many overlapping roles and similar Easter eggs. It seems like using this coattail-riding strategy might just work for online drama projects. Having a red-haired Lei Zhenzi who resembles Sun Wukong as the male lead... the production seems rather rough.
