The Spanish film The Invisible Guest, directed by Oriol Paulo and known for its 43 unexpected reversals, is one of the most familiar Spanish films for Chinese audiences.

The mystery mystery decryption process is thrilling, so that Chinese audiences can call it addictive, and the box office has also risen all the way, becoming the first Spanish film in China to box office more than 100 million.

For the Chinese remake of the film, some fans look forward to it, and some fans reveal their concerns: "Again? Why do you want to reinvent the wheel again, have you forgotten the example of "Sunshine Sisters" flipping over before?"

In fact, in recent years, domestic remakes have been common, such as the hot movie "Priceless" starring Zhang Yi, a remake of the South Korean film "Guarantee";

This summer's big hit "Gone She" is a remake of the Soviet film "Trap for the Bachelor";

The recent movie "Save the Suspect", starring Zhang Xiaofei, is a remake of the South Korean film "Seven Days";

Feng Xiaogang starred in the "Loyal dog Hachi", a remake of the classic Japanese film "Loyal Dog Hachi", after the Hollywood remake of the "Loyal dog Hachi story" also has a 9.4 points Douban high score... Only from this year's cinema line, there are more than 10 remakes.

Looking back, you will find that some of the more successful films are actually remakes, such as "The killer is not very calm", "Mistake" series, "Your wedding", "Five diving teenagers", "The Tide of people" and so on. These remakes have very different themes, but they are often successful films that have already formed IP, such as "Hachiko" and the recent hotly debated "Bouquet of Love" Chinese remake project.

Others are acclaimed but relatively unpopular films, such as the original "The Way to Steal the Key" of the "Flood of People" and so on.

However, it should be noted that with the increase in demand for remakes, even the original films are relatively mediocre and selected by some film and television companies or filmmakers, which is also one of the reasons why many remakes have begun to be unpopular in the film market in recent years.
