On the evening of September 20, the TV series "Kunlun Shrine" was airborne, and the 4-episode plot was launched. The drama calendar announced by this TV series shows that there are 16 episodes in total, starring actors such as Pan Yueming , Zhang Yuqi and Jiang Chao . At present, there are 4 episodes, and the effective plot duration of a single episode is only 30 minutes. Such a short single-episode plot is indeed a bit unreal.
What is even more unreal than the length of the plot is the procrastination of this "Kunlun Shrine". The 4 episodes that have been launched online, it took nearly two episodes to officially form a successful team. In the previous "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series of film and television dramas, the story that a team can be formed in a few minutes, in this "Kunlun Shrine", it took a full two episodes. In this state, it is difficult for the audience to say that this TV series is sincere. In the next two episodes of
, when everyone thought that the plot finally opened the adventure mode and was about to enter the battle scene, "Kunlun Shrine" once again caught everyone off guard - because the next two episodes of the plot, although starting Yes, the adventure mode is turned on, but in two episodes, a monster was hit. It can even be said that a monster guarding the gate made this group of explorers and tomb robbers fight for nearly an episode. Such a thin plot mode is definitely not sincere.
What makes the editor feel more insincere is the burden of the giggling bridges in this TV series. These contents are filled with plots in a large area, and they seem to be used for comedy, but in fact, they occupy ineffective plot time. For this TV series, what the audience wants to see is the real content, fights, conflicts, not a few people sitting in a broken car, dangling around and dangling in it.
However, it is this kind of scene of dawdling around in a broken car. In the fourth episode of "Kunlun Shrine", it has been enlarged and processed. I can't wait to shoot half of the episode. These details all show that "Kunlun Shrine" actually lacks an effective plot, and there are too few real dry goods to attract everyone. In order to make up the content of 16 episodes with only 30 minutes in a single episode, a large number of invalid plots must be used to piece together.
In fact, the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series of film and television dramas has always faced a fundamental question: why do you do this. In other words, what is the justice of the protagonists' actions? So far, the series has been unable to find any justice for the protagonists of the lower tomb. Therefore, we can only cover up the emotional content of the plot with big scenes and big conflicts, and only let the audience pay attention to those exciting scenes. However, this time, in "Kunlun Shrine", there are even fewer scenes, so we have to face the issue of the justice of the protagonists' actions.
martial arts films should solve the problem of why they fight, and the theme of tomb robbing should also solve the problem of why they rob tombs. In "Kunlun Shrine", why did these people come to the underground of Kunlun Mountain ? The answer given by the plot is to find a way to use a broken bead. The motivation for this behavior is really pediatric. In fact, the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series of novels are children's books from the source, for those children who have not gone to school very much.
has a similar creative mode, and there are many so-called blockbusters of Hollywood and . Many special effects movies in Hollywood also have very childish motives for the protagonist's behavior, just to list big scenes. However, there is an advantage to Hollywood special effects blockbusters, such as the "Jurassic Park" series, they really know what fans need, that is, they have enough special effects and big scenes. Because these contents are given enough, fans also forget the naivety of the characters' behavioral motives.
On the other hand, in this "Kunlun Shrine", because of the lack of content to watch, the lack of special effects, the lack of scenes, the lack of fighting, and the lack of more things that can be called highlights, so I can only use gags to pretend to be effective plots . And the audience is not stupid. After such content is flooded in a large area, everyone will feel that this TV series seems to be too exhausted. In itself, the essence of the plot is shriveled, and the picture is not strong, so I can't find any advantages.
Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi and Jiang Chao have all maintained the performances of the previous "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". also followed by aesthetic fatigueI'm sorry, I can't see anything exciting. This is the inevitable outcome of film and television dramas such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that lack emotional and effective value.
My personal overall impression is that "Kunlun Shrine" is too much piecemeal, the scenes that are really powerful are not enough, and the roles brought by the actors have already exhausted everyone's aesthetics. This TV series has a good reputation. Likely. At least, after 4 episodes, I will not chase "Kunlun Shrine". (Text / Ma Qingyun)
