Although all the movies have been withdrawn from the Spring Festival in 2020, I believe you can still remember those famous titles, such as "Detective Chinatown 3", "Chinese Women's Volleyball", "Emergency Rescue", etc., except for these movies. , There is also a less conspicuous film also released during the Spring Festival, its name is "Golden Chan Conquer the Devil", it is an ancient fantasy film starring Shi Xiaolong and Hu Jun.
Among the many New Year films, "Golden Chan Conquering Demons" can be said to be an alternative existence. To this day, there hasn't been a trailer for "Golden Chan Conquer the Devil". Inquiring about Douban related websites, there is only a poster of "Golden Chan Conquer the Devil". A "Three Nothing" movie with no poster, no trailer, or even publicity, can actually be included in the Spring Festival file. Do you think it is an alternative?
Just recently, "Golden Zen Conquering Demons" appeared again. When other Spring Festival films were re-scheduled, the release date of "Golden Zen Conquering the Devil" was changed to May 8. Although the release date was revised, "Golden Zen Conquering the Devil" still has no poster and no trailer. A movie with mystery.
Today, let's uncover the mystery of this movie and see what kind of movie it is.
Actually, "Golden Zen Conquering the Devil" is a fantasy movie in ancient costume that has been produced since 2018. The earliest movie was called "The Legend of Fahai: Golden Zen Conquering Demons". It was originally intended to be made into a series of movies. "Golden Zen Conquering Demons" was the first film in the series, and the production cost was 60 million. With the production cost of hundreds of millions at every turn, the investment of 60 million is indeed not high, and judging from the fact that the film does not make a trailer, does not make a poster (currently there is only one poster), and does not do marketing, it should be very lacking in the later stage. money's.
The plot of "Golden Zen Conquering the Devil" is more imaginary, which is somewhat different from the known story of Fahai and Bai Suzhen. The plot tells the story of Nangong Zhou, the leader of Jin Chansi, the demon-eliminating organization, who fought against the demon king Ye Baiming, and sealed him with his life at a critical moment. Twenty years later, Nangong Sun’s son Nangong Yue met Ye Baiming’s daughter Ye Zhiqiu. With her appearance, Jin Chanji was also in danger, and many masters died. Nangong Yue had to hire the former leader of Jin Chanji Yang Rujing... An intricate battle between gods and demons kicked off.
Judging from the official plot introduction, the film plot has little to do with the Fahai in folklore. It is a typical film dressed in folklore, but inside it is a completely fictitious film. Since there is no trailer, I don't know if this film is made reliable. With years of experience in watching movies, it is estimated that the production level and viewability of this movie will not exceed the 2011 "Legend of White Snake".
Although the plot of "Golden Zen Conquering Demons" is suspicious, the cast is not bad. The leading roles are Shi Xiaolong and Hu Jun, supporting roles are Zou Zhaolong and Li Zixiong, and the heroine is Yao Xingtong.
Shi Xiaolong was born as a child star. He has been acting as the leading role when he was a child. After he grew up, he played supporting roles in film and television works. It is said that in the movie "Golden Zen Conquering Demons", Shi Xiaolong is the action director of the film besides the lead role. Regardless of the final market response of this film, it is a very important work for Shi Xiaolong.
Other supporting roles, such as Hu Jun, Zou Zhaolong, and Li Zixiong, although they are not first-line actors, they are well-known and have accumulated works. In the past few years, they have all won in their acting career. A very good achievement. This time I am willing to be a green leaf for Shi Xiaolong, and I may also think that the work is passable.
It is also worth mentioning the directors of this film. On Douban’s "Golden Chan Conquer the Devil" page, there are three directors of this film, namely Peng Fa, Wang Kai, and Cheng Zhonghao; but in Baidu's encyclopedia, Cheng Zhonghao's identity Is a producer. Although the latter two are not very familiar to everyone, but the audience familiar with Hong Kong movies should be familiar with the name Peng Fa.
Before working as a director, Peng Fa was a professional editor. He edited the famous "Infernal Affairs" series, "Wind and Cloud Dominates the World", and "Chinese Hero". The film "Ghost Domain" directed by Peng Fa and his twin brother Peng Shun was nominated as a focus unit at the Cannes Film Festival and can be said to be a highly professional filmmaker.
However, most of the films directed by Peng Fa are relatively horrifying and dark stories. I don’t know if "Golden Zen Falling Demons" will also become a kind of dark.What about color fantasy movies? Only when the film is officially released will I know.
