praise or scolding, " Kunlun Shrine " finally came to an unsatisfactory curtain.
went high and low, the anticlimactic "Kunlun Shrine"
suddenly announced the launch of "Kunlun Shrine" in the tangle of whether to expect or not. Check it out, man! Come up and give you a month-long playlist first.
is only a dozen or so episodes in size, excluding the opening, ending, hard and broad, and the length of the review, the actual length of a single episode is only about twenty minutes, and only three episodes a week? The monkeys at the rally are more dignified than this!
took the shadow of the previous work, opened "Kunlun Shrine" cursingly, and found that the four episodes released in the first wave not only restored the degree of restoration, but even added a lot of dazzling transitions. Except for the special effects, it is a bit unreasonable. In addition to a small and not small slot, the beginning can be regarded as saving some of the word of mouth.
but it is a good hand and can be played very thinly.
During the 11th, there was an advance on-demand video. I wanted to watch it in one breath, but I fell asleep halfway through it. If one word can evaluate this "Kunlun Shrine", then "anticlimactic" may be the most appropriate word.
The plot is cut, the rhythm is slow, the special effects are shrinking, is the problem of funding, ? Okay, this can be tolerated.
But what does it mean that the follow-up of your character is not fully explained? Ah Xiang went abroad for treatment? The iron rod lama brought Shirley Yang to donate money to build a temple? Hu Bayi and Fatty went to Uncle Ming's house to move antiques? On the first day of the first year, the whole family was so miserable that people couldn't figure it out. What kind of hatred was there? Why would such a miserable family force a high-ranking paraplegic sister who had nothing to do with the original book?
As the final chapter of the first "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" quartet, "Kunlun Shrine", which was supposed to be the climax and ending, was filmed like this. In the last episode, which was originally not rich in a single episode, it was still hard. Was it added to the preview of the next "The Return of the South China Sea"? I want to contact customer service to ask, is there a quick entry for the 18 yuan "advance not broadcast" ?
is not good, let's stop it!
"Kunlun Shrine" is worse than the original? When
was chasing books, he thought that "Kunlun Shrine" was the last book of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series (the second book had not been published at the time), and it was the finale of the three books. The suspense surrounding the curse of the erythema is completely resolved in this book, and the hearty feeling when I read this book with trepidation is still fresh in my memory after many years.
can say that "Kunlun Shrine" is the best ending for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in the hearts of many fans.
Of the four books of the second "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", two belong to the prequel series, and "The Return of the South China Sea" is the one with the lowest evaluation. Only "Wu Gorge Coffin Mountain" barely stood still with its detached imagination, but it was still hard to hide its exhaustion.
So what's the difference between the drama version of "Kunlun Shrine" and the original?
First, let's talk about the characters in the show.
Pan Yueming 's acting skills should not be discussed, but in " Yunnan Insect Valley " and "Kunlun Shrine", he is more like paddling. His heart is still water, he reads the lines without emotion, except for the fear of death in the dream of the first episode, you can't even feel any tension in the cursed him. In addition, as Hu Bayi, who has been a soldier for more than ten years and even went to the battlefield, Pan Yueming is more like the image of opening a restaurant for ten years, Jiang Chao eats two meals a little less, I feel that the role of fat may have to be replaced .
Although Pan Yueming has some flaws, they are all image problems or plot arrangements. As a powerful actor, Pan Yueming can at least hold 80% of the role of Hu Bayi.
Zhang Yuqi and Jiang Chao are the hardest hit areas for the drama.
Zhang Yuqi 's text-like performance perfectly demonstrated the actors' reading skills. She is obviously a refined and sassy Chinese version of Laura, and she has been arranged to be a love-brained woman here, except for showing off her figure, reading textbooks, gasping for breath, and throwing the hook many times. Outside of the close-up of the claw, I really can't see what role Shirley Yang has.
Jiang Chao is actually very good at acting, but the portrayal in the play is not enough to restore. In the book, Wang Kaixuan is a master who is not afraid of the sky and the earth. In addition to gags, Fatty has saved Hu Bayi's life countless times. At the same time, to outsiders, Fatty is simply a demon king of chaos, a solid backing for the team. But what about in the show? In addition to being poor or poor, when confronting Peter Huang and Uncle Ming, he even felt that the fat man was really slapping his face and pretending to be fat. I feel that Jiang Chao is more like the fat uncle next door, without the arrogance that Wang Kaixuan should have. Of course, this should not be Jiang Chao's own pot.
Tang Zhenye's version of Uncle Ming is absolutely restored, as long as he stands there, the aura radiated from the inside out will make you think that he is Uncle Ming himself. But the image of Uncle Ming in the play will make you wonder how he made money from doing business. Not only is he not as cunning and ruthless as a profiteer should be, but he will even make you think that Uncle Ming is a lover of justice. man. You know, Uncle Ming in the book is for himself, but even his goddaughter A Xiang will betray it.
As a team explorer of radar , Ah Xiang kept her eyes wide open and looked surprised, but she didn't tell you whether there was any danger.
In fact, these problems have nothing to do with the actors, but should be the responsibility of the creative team such as directors and screenwriters.
In addition to the problem of character creation, the narrative method of the whole drama is even more stretched. There have been many cases where team members are attacked and others are standing and watching. If you have read the original work, you will even feel that you can't watch it.
, as a tomb exploration drama, at least it should have mysterious, exciting, bizarre monsters, but the content shown in this drama is not as good as one-tenth of the book.
wrote in the last chapters of "Insect Valley of Yunnan" about Hu Bayi's memories of the Great Phoenix Temple when he was a soldier in Tibet. This drama has only taken a few scenes, and the plot of the fight against the wolves in the book is even more thrilling. , The big man who was dragged into the pool by the giant underwater hand and caused half of his body to collapse, the military doctor Gemma's intestines were pulled out on the spot, and he explained more clearly why the iron rod lama went to the lake.
is about Uncle Ming, who was a corpse hunter in western Hunan. In the play, he just passed by. In the book, Uncle Ming brought a civet cat with thirteen whiskers and a big golden tooth to make old wigs in Antique Zhai. One of the interesting episodes is that in order to prevent bad luck from breaking off the beard of a civet cat with three whiskers, Uncle Ming actually glued his beard together.
Zhang Yingchuan, brother of Hu Bayi, is really a proper guide in the play, but there is a saying in the book, "When you meet the water, you will find the middle way" throughout, whether it is the underground lake in the wind-eroded lake formed by the collapse of Eilaohai City, or The underground lake water poured out of the trapped colossus at the critical moment confirms Zhang Yingchuan's hexagram. In the play
, in the nine-story demon tower, the fire ladybug was sprayed to death by ginger juice, and the group used fire to kill Xue Maitreya, a soft tentacle monster who did not know how it mutated, and successfully obtained the iceberg crystal corpse. Eyes, Ah Xiang inexplicably broke off her hand under Shirley Yang's gaze, successfully found Eilean Sea City, and then walked all the way to the altar, and then all the staff had to spend time with a striped Jiao until the final timeout before they remembered to put the sacrifice. Pin, and finally found the exit through Ah Xiang's inexplicable hint from the underworld, and walked out smoothly. Exchange dream linkage (exchange content, make up your own brain). A smooth journey is not like an adventure at all, but more like a tour. Not only deleted a lot of book content, but also full of slots.
clearly explained in the book that ginger juice can't kill "Dap" ghosts at all, and the Dap ghosts in the book canBy switching to the infinite karmic fire mode and the Naiqiong Shenbing mode, the ice and fire are double heaven.
In the end, Xue Maitreya was frozen by the Dapu ghost bug in Naiqiongshenbing mode, and got stuck in the floor of the eighth floor. Only then did Xue Maitreya solve and block the Dapu ghost bug at the same time. In the ice abyss, Fatty used a "propane spray bottle" to burn the remaining "Neiqiongshenbing" flying insects to death. Yes, Xue Maitreya didn't turn into a disgusting tentacle monster with water-injection dragging the plot, and Pan Yueming's acrobatic fire-breathing fire ladybug did not burn to death, but was burned to death by fire-breathing in the book.
In addition, black tiger mysterious altar, human flesh bait, shelling turtle, spirit tortoise shell, fish array, striped scorpion, white-bearded old fish, emperor mushroom, daimaru shrimp, ground Guanyin , salamander, lights out Novel content such as silver dolls are also skipped, which makes the episodes lack a lot of content.
"Ghost Blowing Lantern"'s heart-wrenching magical history
Due to the chaotic copyright issues of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, as well as the well-known scale and audit problems, has always been optimistic that "Ghost Blowing Lamp" can produce qualified film and television works, the copycat version Lei Opera is not within the scope of discussion. When
's first film and television work "Nine-Layered Demon Tower" was put on the big screen, he experienced an experience from expectation to disappointment and then to despair.
Although Chen Kun , Shu Qi and Huang Bo starred in "Looking for the Dragon" achieved good ratings and box office, Angela also contributed to the epic post-level career best Acting skills, but this movie still has a big gap with the original. The content of
"Ghost Blowing Lamp" series works is rich and delicate, with the existing domestic film shooting ability, simply cannot fully display the content of a work with the volume of a movie.
Until 2016, "The Ancient City" starring Jin Dong , Chen Qiaoen , etc., although there are still various flaws, it is already a qualified adaptation of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
Next is a " Ghost Blowing Lamp: Yellow Leather Grave ", which I don't know has made some god horse stuff , this drama is as disgusting as you have worked so hard to find a "FBI" Warning", when I opened it, it felt like "Hulu Brothers". This is far beyond the scope of magic reform, it is simply selling dog meat.
Next is the well-received "Nu Qing Xiangxi", not only the story is basically restored to the original, but the casting is even more restored. The Chen Yulou played by Yueming Pan, who has not yet developed his cheeks, and the partridge whistle played by Gao Weiguang and are simply characters extracted directly from the book.
has accumulated word-of-mouth and won fans, and the "Longling Cave" launched by the trend still continues a good reputation. Although both the special effects and the degree of reduction of the original work have shrunk, but Zhou Xiaoou plays Ma Dadan, Wang Kuirong plays The super-level performance of supporting roles such as Chen Blind and other characters has properly covered up the many shortcomings of the play. "Longling Cave" also won the highest score for the adaptation of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series of film and television works.
has a fixed team and a fixed starring role. It was supposed to be the sequel "Insect Valley of Yunnan" that continued its good reputation, but it died directly and got the lowest score in the whole series. Originally supposed to be the magic weapon of winning, the restoration of the plateau novel has a big problem. The plot is cut, the scene is shrunk, the five-point special effect, the plot is watered, and the loss of the assist of the god-level supporting role has made the past points that could have been reluctantly mentioned. became a shortcoming. The protagonists have even changed from acting in their true colors to acting embarrassingly throughout.
Summary
Although the plot itself is full of slots, for the originalIt is not enough to restore the audience of book fans, but I have to say that the current version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is already a better version at present.
Maybe because of budget, review and other constraints, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" on the screen will never be as exciting as the book, but I still hope that since there are plans for the next one, then "The Return of the South China Sea" will not. Let the fans down again.
