's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series is online, and it's still the story of the ancient city. When I saw this movie, I didn't plan to watch it, because the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series has made many online movies over the years, but none of them have a decent work, plus there are Jin Dong version of the online drama "Essential Ancient City" Zhuyu is in front, so I don't have any expectations for this movie.
But seeing that the main actor is my favorite actor Yu Yi , I decided to take a look. After all, Yu Yi's windbreaker Jeep "Ferryman" really left a deep impression on people. Even so, expectations for the film haven't improved much because there are so many lessons learned.
Sure enough, this movie really didn't bring more surprises than expected. The biggest feeling after watching the whole movie is that, apart from not being like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it is still a pretty "standard" online movie.
said that it is not like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" because most of the characters and stories in the movie are not like the original.
First of all, professors are not like professors, and scholars are not like scholars. Regardless of whether it is Professor Chen or Hao Aiguo, even if there are some solid board that academics often have, they are all scholars who are very obsessed with historical research, and have a very strong sense of family and country. But what about in this movie? If I hadn't read the novels and previous web dramas, I would have thought that these two were professional and financially obsessed gang leaders, completely irrelevant to scholars. This may be a problem of line design after the script is adapted, or it may be a problem of actors' performances, just like Zhang Yi, and Zhang Da, who performed the same segment, but performed different characters.
The second is that students are not like students. Several students in the entourage are all college students who are still on campus or have just left the campus. I don't say anything about being inexperienced in the world or not physically strong. The college students in the 1980s and 1990s were all serious academic masters, and they must have a little bookish air. Looking at the few people in this movie, they really don't look like students, especially Chu Jian, who is simply a social gangster who is more rogue than a fat man.
also has the plot of the movie, probably to make the audience feel that the screenwriter has made an adaptation and made great efforts, so the plot is a little different from the original. . There is also the group of fighting peers that I met in the tomb passage, thinking that it would become the final point of conflict, but I didn't expect that it was just the cannon fodder to open the next level for the protagonist team, and they were collectively smashed after two minutes of playing. I came and went in a hurry, and I don't know what it really does~
just said one thing, the movie's special performance is quite good, which is why it is said that this is a "standard" online movie, it is Shoot a simple story with some good special effects, and a movie can basically be completed in a green shed, saving time, effort and money.
is also because of too many special effects, so that this movie has no sense of age and vicissitudes of time. A few years ago, the online drama "Essential Ancient City" also used some special effects, but it was more realistic. From the set to the costumes to the characters' speech and behavior, this drama can make the audience feel the sense of age and the vicissitudes of history and greatness. Naturally incredible.
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series often publishes online movies, and each one is more dissimilar than the other, which probably has a great relationship with the copyright of this IP. I really hope that the company that owns the web drama adaptation copyright can also buy all the movie adaptation copyrights and do it well, instead of cutting leeks in the name of IP like now ~ Toutiao Creation Challenge
