What are the shortcomings of the failure of Jiangnan compared with the original Shanghai Fortress?

The film Shanghai Fortress can be said to be a failure. The summer file was released, but because the box office was so bad, it was forced to be removed from the shelf in just a few days, and finally the box office failed to exceed 200 million. The reason is that the film quality is too poor and the audience's requirements are getting higher and higher. It's no longer the time when traffic stars can make a lot of money even if they are bad movies.

Jiangnan, the original author of Shanghai Fortress, apologized to the audience, and so did the director of the film, but what's the use? The original is not bad, but the film is bad. Now, let's take a look and compare the slots of the original film "Shanghai Fortress". The first is about the plot setting of the movie. Anyone who has read the original work knows that "Shanghai Fortress" was originally a novel with a love theme, but the background has sci-fi elements. However, when making a movie, the director clearly knew this, and made a love movie, only to promote it as another masterpiece of China's science fiction after The Wandering Earth, and also to cheat the audience by rubbing against The Wandering Earth's science fiction fever.

Secondly, the director of this film, Xiao Bai, a sci-fi movie, is only good at making romantic films. It was difficult for him to make a film with sci-fi elements for the first time. Moreover, he chose the leading role because he took a fancy to Lu Han, who was a traffic star at that time, and said that Lu Han was suitable for this role, but a closer look at the original shows that Lu Han's temperament is incomparable with Jiang Yang's. In fact, the role choice is in the era of small fresh meat, and the director just wants to find a few small fresh meat to increase the box office. Now that the era of small fresh meat is over, the director throws the failed pot of Shanghai Fortress to Lu Han.

There is also the villain in the story. The image of the villain in the original book is very full, but the film does not describe the villain. Many viewers are confused. They don't know who the villain is, why he is fighting, and what is the purpose of coming to Shanghai. None of this is clear. I guess the director is busy shooting a love story. In short, there are many things in this movie that people can spit out, just need to explore them with heart.
