"Chen Qing Ling" made Xiao Zhan "a shadow into a god" and has countless fans. After becoming famous, the first task is to build a personal brand and further enlarge the fan effect. For Xiao Zhan, the popularity is actually quite surprising. Many people came to the show because of "The Master of the Demon Dao", but they didn't expect to get a handsome Xiao Zhan after watching it. This kind of enthusiasm continued in "Zhu Xian I".
As a post-80s generation, "Zhu Xian" was all the rage in college. My roommate enjoyed watching it at that time, but at that time I didn’t have much interest in such fairy-style novels, so I never watched it. This novel, this "Zhu Xian I" is directed by the director Cheng Xiaodong, who has filmed the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, so on the basis of not changing the original appearance of the story, try to tell the story as complete as possible, the characters are three-dimensional, and photographed in his mind Therefore, the real scene + special effects synthesis method is used to present the Xianxia effect, which is worth showing off from the effect.
Because the film was shot last winter, the filming process was very cold, causing the protagonists to suffer a lot of crimes, but the dedication of the Hong Kong team is well-known in the industry, and Li Qin said that he has learned a lot of new skills to sway him. Rocket Girl 101 member Meng Meiqi also sang for the movie, but when Xiao Zhan was interviewed, he was still as calm as ever, emphasizing that Cheng Dao always accompanied the actors every day. This is actually the most basic professional quality of a director. For many crews, the director is the “big housekeeper” of the crew. He is busy every day, and sometimes it is difficult to see the actors every day. Dedication is a high degree of condensing the professionalism of the Hong Kong team.
Xiao Ding's "Zhu Xian" opened a window in the world of Xian Xia, and the general theme in one sentence was "the world is not benevolent, and everything is a dog" mentioned in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. It was revealed at the time that everything should be followed. Its natural law of development has the taste of "God pays off for the hearted man", and it is a manifestation of the realm of harmony between man and nature. In the movie, it is the path of self-growth of the little character. No one can escape the cage of fate. The
novel was first adapted into Li Yifeng and Zhao Liying's "Ching Yunzhi" in 2016. Although the Douban score is only 5.4 points, the scenes and character modeling still perfectly restore the "fairy" part of the novel. The audience's dissatisfaction lies in the plot. Slow, did not present the imaginary fairy tale story, and even created a lot of plots. Therefore, it has been criticized by readers of novels. It can be seen that the love and enthusiasm of novel fans for the novel of the year has also driven this movie version. Adapted expectations.
Zhang Xiaofan is just a mortal, his homeland was slaughtered, and his two children, Lin Jingyu, survived, and he entered the Qingyun Gate on Qingyun Mountain, but his qualifications and understanding were mediocre, but his friend Lin Jingyu was progressing. With great speed, I got the true biography of Teacher Cangsong and the treasure "Dragon Slashing Sword". This is the main thread of the story. The life of ordinary people revolves around firewood, rice, oil and salt. In order to reflect his ordinaryness, he is directly positioned as a "cooper" in the movie. "The cooking special effects make it feel like "Monster Hunting". What Xiao Zhan wanted to say to Zhang Xiaofan was "You cook delicious food."
, as a member of the logistics department, despite the national humiliation and family hatred, he is still ordinary, so his humble secret crush Tian Linger dare not confess, the entire perspective of the novel is based on ordinary people, so it is very substituting Cheng Dao is considering showing a complete story, and Zhang Xiaofan cannot be burdened with the infamy of "Faxin", especially the process of blackening, which is actually extremely difficult. The hero in a normal fairy movie Either naughty and cute, or justice, this kind of ordinary to the ultimate character does not have the cleverness of Jin Yong and Wei Xiaobao, nor the free and easy of Linghu Chong, and is full of fortunes and destiny arrangements. This kind of destiny is actually what ordinary people long for in life. , The older the ordinary people, the younger the possibility, the stronger this idea will be.
In fact, it can be judged from the laughter of the theater that most of the audience watching the movie is not only novel readers, but also Xiao Zhan’s fans. The movie shot last year caught up with the peak of Xiao Zhan’s personal charm. As a result, countless viewers are immersed in the hypothesis of experiencing the beauty of idols. Even though the idols are painted with darkening cream and freckles, they continue to show selfless love.
From Xiao Zhan’s acting skills, he showed a state completely different from "Chen Qingling". If Wei Wuxian in "Chen Qingling" is a lively and clever fire, then Zhang Xiaofan in "Zhu Xian" is Heartbroken Bing, he didn’t want to be a hero, let alone a ghost. With the blessing of bloodthirsty beads and fire sticks, he created the best record in the history of "Dazhufeng", but he fell into justice with Baguio. Crusade by the Alliance.
TV shows are diversified, while movies test the actors’ acting skills. I was worried that Xiao Zhan’s performance might not be able to withstand the test of the big screen, but from the perspective of the performance, he has a lot of experience. The rich actors are a lot stronger. This may be his spirituality in addition to his appearance. As the protagonist, he showed Zhang Xiaofan's ordinaryness and greatness. Of course, he also gave the first kiss on the screen, which caused the theater to cry.
In fact, there is no such clear distinction between right and evil. The four subordinates of the King of Ghosts are quite interesting. This is unexpected. The unique characteristics of the characters make the image of the King of Ghosts unpredictable, and even the "True Sword and Thunder" It was difficult to resist his magic power, and only then did Zhang Xiaofan's painful memory of the family's destruction at that time aroused, and he drove away the ghost king.
but the result? The righteous person gave up treating him just because he was infected with evil spirits, and used a simple "kill him" to eradicate the troubles, which made the righteous party seem a little ridiculous, killing people but no one's head, and God has good virtues, isn't it? Can't you see what a person is like for decades? So Master Tian Buyi blocked Lu Xueqi's lethal sword in despair.
In the movie, the relationship between Baguio, Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan was played down. Baguio wanted to burn a fire stick, so she tried every means to approach Zhang Xiaofan. Does she have any love for him? I don't think so, it can be regarded as a good impression at most, and the final sacrifice to save others is more of being a demon sect and being shameless of decent practices.
But it was this move that won Zhang Xiaofan's favor and inspired his vow of "My life is up to me". Is it love between him and Lu Xueqi? No, although I have a crush on Tian Linger, it is a beautiful yearning for the opposite sex when I was young, and I yearn for the company of pure and innocent affection. Just like many adolescent children, this love is not only trust but also a responsibility, protecting the family members from Bullying by outsiders and a sense of mission to grow together.
Zhang Xiaofan is opposed to Lu Xueqi’s quick success. He saw Lu Xueqi’s astonishment, and also saw her desperate life worrying. If he stood up and repayed, he would stand bravely. The Baguio who came out to protect him is his view of good and evil.
The calm and restrained Lu Xueqi let go of Zhang Xiaofan, which is somewhat incomprehensible. She is frosty, calm and restrained. In terms of the master's admonition and morality, she should completely kill Zhang Xiaofan, but she was moved? Is it just because Zhang Xiaofan saved his life? He still felt that the master and the others had done too much, and Zhang Xiaofan had a chance to save it. In short, Li Qin is beautiful, but he is overly restrained in character performance, losing the external tension of his character.
sameThis is an adaptation of a popular IP. At the time of shooting, Cheng Dao was afraid of over-adapting and causing fanfare, so the character modeling and storyline are not overly exaggerated, but the film advances the blackening process of Zhang Xiaofan in the novel, otherwise it is too slow The plot setting will bring distrust of the audience, which is not conducive to the advent of the second film. Judging from the current "breakpoint", the relationship between him and Lu Xueqi and Baguio will still be the highlight of the second film ( According to the plot of the novel, Baguio may be resurrected), and look forward to his duel with Lin Jingyu. Of course, would it be better if Lin Jingyu can be replaced by Wang Yibo?
At present, the box office of "Zhu Xian I" has exceeded 200 million yuan. I originally thought that popular films such as "The Whistleblower" and "Decisive Hour" could fight against it, but these films have made way for this film and made a lot of it. The audience of "choice barriers" let go of their burdens and walked into the movie theater confidently. It is not so much Xiao Zhan who held up this big banner, it is better to say that this film has caught up with many factors such as the right time and place. Victory is only the first step. , As for how long this film can go, is the time to truly test the quality of the film.
