On the evening of December 12, a number of regular news media revealed that the new film directed by Guo Jingming was officially approved. The films that have been exposed are called "Hariyaji" and "Taki Nocturne". Both movie stories are taken from the novel "Onmyoji". At the same time, some media also exposed that Deng Lun and Zhao Youting appeared on the set of director Guo Jingming and became the male protagonists of the two films.
So, what kind of novel is "Onmyoji"? Many readers may not have read this Japanese novel. In short, this is a story novel in the style of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige. It has a lot of fantasy content and is willing to borrow some history. The prototype story of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is "The Ghost Banquet in the Tang Dynasty" by the Japanese fantasy writer Meng Zhenmo. Coincidentally, the author of "Onmyoji" is also this dream pillow tapir.
The novel "Onmyoji" plays a pivotal role in the field of Japanese fantasy literature. How important is it? An analogy with Chinese literature is a bit similar to the importance of "Feng Shen Yanyi" to us. This "Onmyoji" is two male protagonists, one named Abe Haruaki and the other named Gen Hiroya. With the dark and distant Heian era as the background, a fictional and elegant human and ghost coexisting world is created. After being published in Japan, immediately lead to uproar.
The protagonist of the book of
, Onmyoji Seimei Abe, has an elegant, quiet and joking character, coupled with the upright and honest source of Boya, one soft and one strong, one evil and one village, which makes people all obsessed. The two sang and sang together to solve an unbelievable bizarre incident, to relieve people's worries. Judging from the character setting of the original novel, Deng Lun seems to be more suitable for Abe Haruaki, and Zhao Youting is likely to play Yuan Boya.
Director Guo Jingming has set up the film title "Qing Ya Ji", which is composed of two male protagonists. For Director Guo Jingming, shooting such fantasy movies should not be too difficult. Earlier, Guo Jingming's "Grand Path" series was similar, but Xiao Guo's movie was more "fantasy", and even the historical dynasty was unwilling to be affiliated, so I told the big guy directly that this is the ultimate fantasy. ,all fake. And "Onmyoji" is undoubtedly linked to the Heian era in Japan. The "Onmyoji" series of films that
has established, should be adapted to a certain degree in China. Although the project text currently available shows that the names of the two heroes in the original novel have been retained, Abe Haraaki directly changed his name to Haraaki. Obviously, Guo Jingming wanted to rely on the original Japanese story structure to create a fantasy story placed in the Chinese dynasty. The original story is very interesting, and Guo Jingming is also good at creating works of fantasy content, so his two new films are worth looking forward to.
Although the quality of Guo Jingming's novels such as "Illusion City" and "Lord's Path" is really poor, he has clearly understood the true essence of the movie after several years of hard work. In the past, Guo's works did not have any human fireworks, but recently, Guo Jingming has shown his own pyrotechnic side in the variety show "Actors Please Take Your Place". His film "Onmyoji" is electrocuted this time. If it can add some breath of the times to the work, the quality should not be bad.
The author of the novel "Onmyoji" is the Japanese fantasy writer Dream Pillow. The writer's "Shamen Konghai: The Great Tang Ghost Banquet" was also bought by director Chen Kaige to make "The Legend of the Demon Cat". Coincidentally, director Guo Jingming also remakes a section of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige on the stage of "Actors, Please", and with this work, he won the remake of "Sadness Against the River" Chen Kaige. Director Guo Jingming has a strong imitating ability. The artistic styles of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" and "Onmyoji" should be very similar. As long as Guo Jingming maintains a high degree of imitation of director Chen Kaige, there will be no big difference. What is more noteworthy is that the novel "Onmyoji" has long been shot into a movie by the Japanese side. "Onmyoji" is a 112-minute fantasy film produced and released by Japan's Toho Cinemas. The film is directed by Takita Yojiro, written by Yasushi Fukuda and Eraichi, starring Mansai Nomura, Hideaki Ito, Eriko Imai, Kyoko Koizumi, and Hiroyuki Sanada. It was released in Japan on October 6, 2001.
For director Guo Jingming, he can not only refer to "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige, but also refer to the "Onmyoji" by Toho Cinemas in Japan. Still the same sentence, Director Guo Jingming showed on the stage of "The Actors Please Take Place"With his immense ability to imitate, he is good at learning and borrowing from the artistic style of excellent directors, and he is also good at "learning and borrowing" from outstanding novels. With these previous works as a reference for him, he should be able to perform well.
In fact, on the stage of "Actors Please Be in Place", Director Guo Jingming has shown a more consistent aesthetic taste with Director Chen Kaige. Director Chen Kaige also expressed his recognition of the young director Guo Jingming. This time, director Guo Jingming’s film has these inextricable connections with director Veuve. It can only be said that the tastes of the two are really the same. It seems that Director Guo Jingming's future ambition is to become an excellent director like Director Chen Kaige.
However, Japan's "Onmyoji" has a very good reputation, and the first film received a score of 7.8 on Douban. I wonder if Guo Jingming can surpass the classics. After all, it's easy to paint a gourd, but it's too difficult to add the finishing touch.
