2020, a " Longling Labyrinth " is hailed as the most successful remake of "Ghost Blowing Lamp" with a score of 8.1.
But just when everyone is looking forward to the original team to make another brilliant, the follow-up work " Yunnan Insect Valley " has become a follow-up work.
Pan Yueming 's big belly, the special effects with obvious traces of cutout, and the dragging narrative rhythm are all discouraging the audience. In the end, this highly anticipated sequel ended dismal with a score of 6.1.
In the face of this situation, the producer decided to change the coach immediately. The third "Kunlun Shrine" kicked out the original director Fei Zhenxiang , and moved in an unexpected big Buddha Cai Yuexun. The reason why
is unexpected is because Cai Yuexun is known as the "father of Taiwan idol dramas", and he is best at shooting idol dramas such as " Meteor Garden " and "The White Tower".
let the idol drama director to make the adventure drama, seriously? !
In the audience's doubts, "Kunlun Shrine" was launched on September 20.
premiered four episodes, and it went straight to the top of the hit list, which shows the degree of attention. Two days after the broadcast of
, Douban scored 8.2 points! Created the highest score for the remake of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" again.
What is even more surprising is that this score is still rising, and now it has risen to 8.3 points!
starring Zhang Yuqi was so happy that she was ready to do somersaults on the set.
So the question is, how good is this show? Is it really worth the score?
After watching 4 episodes, I dare say - it's worth it!
1. The opening chapter of a dream within a dream, which captured the hearts of the audience
The reason why the series "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is so popular is that the brain hole is big enough and the plot is strong enough. What fans and audiences pursue is a thrill.
"Kunlun Shrine" obviously captured the essence, and it was a big gift as soon as it opened.
On the Kunlun Mountains, the sky is full of snow, but in sharp contrast to this peaceful scene is the tragic battle situation in the Kunlun Devil Mother's Tomb.
Hu Bayi saw his companion being chased and killed by mysterious wolves, bullets pierced through the body of one wolf after another, but more wolves emerged, and the life of his companion was at stake.
However, Hu Bayi was trapped by a mysterious force and could only watch his companions being torn apart by the wolves.
Just as he patted the transparent barrier and roared, a furry paw was placed on his shoulder, and when he turned around, a wolf opened its bloody mouth and swooped in.
The terrifying scene made Hu Bayi wake up from his dream, and happened to meet the fat man and go home.
But when he absorbed it, he found that the fat man with a broken mouth had lost his voice. When he looked back, the fat man's eyes were sluggish, and his face was dry, with as many folds as the bark of a century-old tree.
Before Hu Bayi could figure out what was going on, he also had the same symptoms as the fat man.
woke up again and found that it was a dream within a dream.
A dream in a dream takes the weird atmosphere, the tense atmosphere and the special effects of fantasy , telling the audience clearly: This is my quality.
soAttractive opening, how not to attract people to continue reading?
2. Reject magic changes, highly restore
Nowadays, many book-reformed dramas are complained and disliked because the screenwriters always have their own ideas, and then change the drama beyond recognition.
The secret to the beauty of Kunlun Shrine is that it highly respects the original work.
From the opening thirteen-bearded raccoon cat, to entering the temple of reincarnation, to opening the door of disaster by mistake and releasing Eating Sin Balu , the current plot can be said to have highly restored the original work.
even the details of the fat man being scared to pee his pants by eating crime Balu were filmed, which made people laugh.
Because the plot is restored to the original work, there is no trace of water injection, so the plot is very compact. The second episode is on the snow, and the third episode is in the Samsara Temple. Almost every episode has one or two highlights, which are always exciting. The nerves of the audience will not make people feel mentally weak.
3. The cast is a surprise , firmly in the real name of "Hu Bayi".
can be ranked first, which proves the audience's recognition of Pan Yueming.
Among many actors, he may not look the most like Hu Bayi, but he is definitely the most comfortable one.
"Kunlun Shrine" is Pan Yueming's third time playing Hu Bayi, and his acting skills are as steady as ever. The gags with Fatty, the ambiguous relationship with Shirley, the fearless on weekdays, and the appearance of calm and unhurried in case of trouble, is completely Hu Bayiyi who came out of the book.
and Jiang Chao played the fat man who dragged the oil bottle, and he didn't feel like he was acting crazy and selling stupid. Everything seemed so natural, as if he was born to be so rude and funny. Even if he always makes mistakes, it makes people feel cute and not annoying, which is not something every actor can perform.
Zhang Yuqi's Shirley is also innately arrogant and glamorous. After all, Zhang Yuqi is a tiger girl who dares to slap Wang Xiaofei and outside the show.
and Tang Zhenye who plays Uncle Ming, Sha Baoliang who plays the singer, and Tong Lei who plays the big golden tooth, each role fits the characters in the original book very well, which makes people enter the play in a second.
Fourth, the special effects have been upgraded, and the picture is full.
's long-term view is shot from a real scene, and the CG animation is clearly visible whether it is the fluttering fur on the wolf's body or the lines on the monster's body.
The furnishings in the tomb are even more exquisite, and the sculptures on the walls are so exquisite that they look like they were moved out of a museum.
It can be said that the slow rhythm, poor graphics, and inappropriate actors of "Yunnan Insect Valley" were all made up for by "Kunlun Shrine".
"Kunlun Shrine" has only 16 episodes. Judging from the content and the total number of episodes that have been broadcast, each subsequent episode will be tight-paced and full of dry goods.
If it can continue to maintain the current quality, I believe that its rating still has room for improvement!
