The incident of the movie "Condor Hero" being removed from the platform before it had finished screening caused a stir in public opinion. Many audiences who love Kim Dung's novel have shared and argued about the reason why this project cannot continue to broadcast.
Is it the star's fault?
The 2024 version of the movie "The Condor Hero" has the participation of famous actors Ha Nhuan Dong, Zhou Nhat Wei, Gao Wei Guang, Ming Dao, To Sa, Bao Thuong An, Mencius Nghia, Hoang Nghe, Tran Do Linh, Vuong Hoang Nghi…
Among these actors, there are many famous stars who have been loved by the audience through a series of projects they participated in before.
However, looking at reality, "The Condor Hero" was not well received partly because the stars' role-playing skills were not really good.
In the film, Chu Nhat Vi plays the role of Hoang Duoc Su, while Tran Do Linh portrays the character of Phung Hanh's wife. The age difference of more than 11 years between this pair of stars makes the audience feel uncomfortable. Many people even think that they are father and son, not husband and wife.
In addition, the performances of the main couple Hoang Dung (Bao Thuong An) and Quach Tinh (Tzu Sa) have not conquered the audience due to their inexperience in acting.
Many viewers even rated them as exhausted and unable to create new roles in this 2024 version.
The movie was criticized not only for its stars
Chinese media assessed that, in addition to the performances of the stars that were not as expected, the reason the film was criticized was partly due to its content.
Fragmented content is said to be one of the reasons why the work was stopped streaming.
The first 30 episodes omitted many important contexts in Kim Dung's original work, causing the work to lack continuity and logic, making it difficult for those who have never read the original work to grasp the content.
Experts believe that Kim Dung's novels have been causing a fever on the screen for decades, mainly thanks to the spirit of chivalry in the stories. But in this project, the film crew has not been able to highlight this element, only using the excuse of making Kim Dung to attract the attention of swordplay fans. The story is poorly edited and clichéd.
Pressure with previous series of versions
Before the 2024 version of "Condor Hero" was released, the audience knew the version by Chau Tan and Ly A Bang in the 2003 version. After 21 years, this version has become a classic and a big challenge to the audience. Film crews want to do it again.
That's why, when the 2024 version of "Condor Hero" aired, the audience continuously compared and thought that this new version could not surpass the old version.
Not only is the acting of the stars poor, but the content is also less attractive.
Many viewers also asked the film crew not to follow classic projects and make a movie that lacks everything: acting, content, special effects...
