The characters are not cute enough, the plot is not a success

Diaosi loser marries super high-end Bai Fumei. The selling point of this kind of obscene movie is the cute character, but unfortunately, in this movie, the male and female protagonists are not cute, and the male protagonist is even a bit hateful.

Whether it is Diaosi marrying Bai Fumei, or Ugly Duckling marrying Gao Fushuai, in this type of work, Diaosi and Ugly Duckling must have unique personalities and be unique. This can be the eye of the right method. In addition, diaosi should be a gentle, humorous and warm man, and the ugly duckling should be a lively and active beauty. Of course, cuteness is the most important thing.

For Bai Fumei and Gao Fushuai, they must be tolerant and have the height, vision, temperament and way of thinking corresponding to their class. If the behavior of political and business tycoons is shaped like ordinary people or even children, then it will be a play. Of course, the most important thing is two words-cute.

After shaping the character, the next step is accidental encounters, warm relationships, sincere discoveries, the germination of love, and sweet love. It doesn't work if it's too sweet. A fierce contradiction and conflict in the second half is indispensable.

Lovely characters and warm plot are the keys to the success of this type of film. If there is a humor bonus, it will be even more icing on the cake.

In this movie, the actor has a personality, but he is too paranoid and loses his cuteness in the second half. On the Baifumei side, the personality is too high-end, and the behavior is not in line with it, resulting in a clear departure from reality. That's it for ordinary celebrities and businessmen, but this is a female president. Is it a joke on diplomatic occasions? Openly challenged the rules of officialdom and was elected in the end. This imposing perfect ending is full of signs of abrupt adhesion.

This kind of movie is to satisfy the audience's sexual fantasies. Therefore, the more real the better, the more cute the better, and the warmer the better. By extension, many types of movies are the same.

"Notting Hill" and "Pretty Woman in Wind and Moon" can be regarded as the leaders of this kind of movies.

Perhaps every screenwriter and writer knows how to write scripts and novels, but whether they can actually be written is another matter. Just like us, we know what a good person should be and what a good life should be, but we still can't live our life well.
