Don’t get together as soon as you become famous

The remake of a best-selling book is a gambling, and it is inevitable to use pressure for attention-compared with the original, but "Vampire Assistant" has two other comparative factors in addition to it-because he is also a remake of children's literature, audiences can't help but Compare with the "Harry Potter Series"; because he also talks about youth vampires, the audience will inevitably compare with the "Twilight Series".


After watching the movie, to be honest, I think it's pretty good. The plot setting is not protracted, the original work is not changed much, and the special effects are not bad. Maybe the box office is fair, but I am afraid it is hard to be as popular as "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" by book fans.


First of all, "Vampire Assistant" has caught up with the last train. In children's literature, especially fantasy has emerged for so many years, it is difficult to stand without making something special.
"Harry Potter" has created a magic school that is different from the real space, which is refreshing.
"Lord of the Rings" shows the racial system on a large scale, and the scene is relatively grand.
In contrast, there is no point in this film that makes people wonder and exclaim again and again.


Second, the positioning is too vague.
I remember that in those days, "Harry Potter" was positioned as a children's movie, and it was all about making children happy, so it did not offend book fans, and it also had the guarantee of backing. As the book fans grow up, the actors will grow up and become more and more adults.
"Twilight" is more clear, it is for teenagers who commit nymphomaniacs. Because the level of being handsome is too pure, I didn't
watch it (actually because the actor didn't like me and couldn't get silly) "Vampire Assistant", for children, it is definitely not right. The plot or something is for young people. Let’s show it to teenagers————First, the male protagonist is not strong or clever, and just feels a little silly; second, the male and female protagonist is not amazing enough, and the male protagonist does not have the temperament of attracting teenagers, and he looks unremarkable. fantasy. Not to mention the female protagonist, it is too ordinary, originally the last male protagonist sucking blood on the female protagonist's chest and shoulders was a very fragrant scene, and it turned out to be like a house.


In the end, the story is not interesting.
Movies are not the same as novels. If the original is finally higher than the original, the novel can be eloquent, but the movie will soon have a complex of arresting people. However, the director simply uses special effects to catch people, and he obviously didn't understand. Today, with the proliferation of 3D, general special effects can no longer activate human numb nerves.

In short, you need to be prepared to join in the excitement of a hot topic. If there are too few big scenes, lack of new ideas, and the male lead and female lead cannot make people amazing, the commercial flavor of this commercial film is too weak.
