Among the domestic films, the most imaginative ones are not horror films, but fantasy films.
has counted many IPs, and "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai" has the highest positioning.
Actually, in my opinion, "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai" is not a banned book, but the content is more adult-oriented, which is really not suitable for vigorous promotion.
However, as long as it is slightly adapted, it can become the darling of film and television dramas.
In 1966, the first " painted skin " starring Bao Fang came out, setting off a wave of fantasy films. Eighty years after
entered, "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai" has become a fragrant pastry, and various film and television works have emerged one after another. Among them, the two chapters "Painted Skin" and "Nie Xiaoqian" are deeply loved by the audience.
With the passage of time, the big productions adapted from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai" failed miserably at the box office, which also immersed the fantasy theme.
did not find a suitable growth soil until the birth of online movies. One after another,
has started to take action on the classic IP of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai".
Recently, another new version of "Painted Skin" was launched.
As one of the most classic chapters in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai", "Painted Skin" has always been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for film and television creation, and has been brought to the screen many times. After
and Wangda's "New Painted Skin" was launched, the popularity and playback volume of the entire network for 2 consecutive days ranked first. The
film retains the general framework of the original book and reinterprets the story.
Despite this, the audience's evaluation of this network is polarized.
So, what is the quality of the new version of "Painted Skin"?
can only say that the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.
The story begins with a self-report by a character.
"My name is Changmian, I'm a bird, and I'm the best painter in the painting workshop."
"The production process of painting skin is complicated. First, the selected person is cleaned and soaked in warm water for a long time to make the leather soft."
"Then cut it open and poured it into the antiseptic solution, and finally stitched it together. The top painters will only leave a small trace."
Although this picture is a bit large-scale, after watching it, I can't help but shudder.
made a face-changing plot, a gloomy and terrifying environment, and unexpected transitions...
"New Painted Skin" grasped the "Golden 6 Minutes" rule at the beginning and created a good atmosphere. For an online movie,
has performed very well.
The story happened in troubled times, and the elements of fantasy were added.
Due to the war between the demon clan and the human clan, the human beings were ruined, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
In order to completely eliminate the demon clan, the human clan leaders Ji Tan and Shouyang decided to show their weakness, and take advantage of the other party's relaxation of vigilance, and then attack them all at once.
The whole story is divided into two story lines, one is naturally a war between humans and demons, and the other is a love story between the protagonists.
Painter Chang Mian was seriously injured in an accident when he was young, and was fortunately rescued by the young Shouyang. Since then,
has planted a hazy affection in Changmian's heart.
Shouyang, an adult, already has a lover, Qiusang, and is a beautiful girl.
One day, Changmian sneaked into the world and wanted to see Qiusang, but the demonic energy in his body angered the Demon Slayer Sword that was placed at home.
didn't expect Qiusang to die.
So in order to hide the truth, Chang Mian put on a painting skin and became Qiusang. After getting along with
, even Shouyang didn't discover her identity. The follow-up development of
's story, Seventh Brother, I'll sell it.
However, I believe that everyone should be able to guess the general context without looking at it, which is similar to "Painted Skin".
It is not difficult to see that the story of "New Painted Skin" is very detailed, with beginnings and ends and very rigorous.
Every character inwill push the plot forward, not just go through a cutscene.
and the director combines fantasy, love and horror elements to do something that many blockbusters can't do well: tell a story. Although
has some tricks, it is generally qualified, especially the ending, which makes people feel embarrassed.
Of course, the core of any fantasy movie will eventually fall on "people".
is like the first "Painted Skin" in 1966, known as the earliest fantasy horror film in China. The story of
does not shy away from directly satirizing human nature.
and Chen Kun's version of "Painted Skin", on the surface, discusses the good and evil of demons. In fact,
uses "demon" as a carrier to insinuate the ugly behavior of people. The difference between
and the old version of "Painted Skin" is that the new version puts a lot of ink on love. In the end, the core presented by
is like a mirror, not simply black and white, but more to highlight the good side.
However, "New Painted Skin" is not only good, its shortcomings are also obvious.
First of all, it has been criticized by Net University for a long time, that is, it is suspected of hitting the edge ball. In the
film, there are a lot of dispensable large-scale dramas, obviously to win the audience's attention.
Secondly, the special effects are not precise enough.
, especially the big snake made, is a special effect of 5 cents. Compared with "Painted Skin" released at the beginning of the year,
is much inferior in this respect.
Overall, "New Painted Skin" still lacks some novelty, and it's a new bottle of old wine again.
Looking at the Internet University over the years, except for some movies that have been seen in the past, others are unsightly.
From the script creation to the special effects, to the acting skills of the actors, Wangda University is still in a rising period, and it is not yet possible for people to see a promising prospect.
