took some time to read all the Pan Yueming version of "Kunlun Shrine", but almost the whole process is fast-forwarding, watching " Longling Labyrinth " and " Yunnan Insect Valley " The same, still indescribable. Again, it's okay to watch it as an adventure drama alone, and I admire the courage of the producer, but don't link and compare with the novel, and treat the plot as a brand new setting. However, if it is the same paranoid original party as Yu Lingjun, who always thinks about whether to restore the novel or not while reading it, it must be maddened by the screenwriter's self-righteous, unreasonable plot change, and unreasonable adaptation.
You must know that almost every setting in the novel has the author's unique intentions, some are for the purpose of laying the groundwork, some are related, and some dangerous situations are created to reflect the vitality of the Kunlun Shrine's dragon veins and feng shui, and ultimately serve Uncurse and escape at the end. It can be said that the filming of "Kunlun Shrine", or don't do it. If you want to shoot, you must copy the original settings of the novel, so as to truly reflect the author's creative intention behind the book.
To be fair, the first eleven episodes of the show are pretty good, like the ruins of the Guge Dynasty, Eating Sin Baru , Xue Maitreya, White Wolf King, Nine-Story Demon Tower, Crystal Freedom Mountain , Glacier Crystal Corpse and Ice Ladybug are all restored. Although there are adaptations of
, for example, in the original book, Sin Eater Balu is a cat-faced monster, and in the play, it is said to be an oversized mouse with genetic mutation; The Portuguese priest's zombie skin corpse poison invaded the long black hair and was abandoned, and was changed to be poisoned by the bite of the sin eater Balu; for example, the ice ladybug known as the Dapp ghost in the book is not only a form, but a It is divided into two types: "Infinite Karmic Fire" and " is the poor god ice ". With two crystal balls as the medium, you can switch between the two poles of ice and fire at any time. In the end, the ice ladybug is not as simple as in the play. It was destroyed by ginger water, but was broken by Xue Li Yang. One of the crystal balls was fixed in the shape of Naiqiongshen ice. The ice was afraid of fire and was finally extinguished by Fatty using a propane jet. However, these were not randomly adapted. Some inherent settings in the original work are not contradictory, as long as they do not affect the forward deduction of the plot.
However, starting from the twelve episodes, the screenwriter began to let himself go, and the magic changed.
First and foremost, in the Black Tiger Mysterious Altar of Reincarnation Sect, the basalt giant corpse, blood-baited safflower, shelling turtle and the useful thousand-year-old tortoise shell were discarded in the book. The image of the aquatic creature jellyfish, attacking everyone in the mysterious altar, wasting the bullets of Captain Jin. This is completely contrary to the setting in the book, and it does not make sense. Because it is set according to the inherent world view of the novel " ghost blowing the lamp ", there can be no danger in the black tiger mysterious altar under normal circumstances, which is related to the extremely angry feng shui situation here.
Kunlun was originally the origin of the dragon veins in the world, and Shenluogou was the top of the dragon's ancestors. Although the Longding Glacier is a rare low-altitude glacier in the world, it is held by Yufeng and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, making it a unique place in the Kunlun Mountains. It is precisely because of excessive anger that the corpses buried in the special location of Longding will die immortally and become "Xuanwu Giant Corpses", constantly growing "blood bait" and "fruit of the living". The Samsara Sect made a corpse for sacrifice in this place where life gathered, in order to prove the miracle of its immortal teachings. According to Hu Bayi , this is a place where anger is very prosperous, and there is no danger.
I told Uncle Ming that this place is very angry and that there is no danger, but don't worry, if you don't want to go together, then stay here with Ah Xiang and wait for us to come back. "Kunlun Shrine·Chapter 18"
The reason why Axiang is infected with blood poison is because she sees something she doesn't want to see, her nose will bleed, and blood bait spreads death The plants that scatter invisible pollen in the air will grow and sprout as soon as they touch the blood. Like Shirley Yang, Fatty, and Uncle Ming, they normally wouldn't get caught. Old Hu got caught because Ah Xiang's blood dripped on his hand. Like the jellyfish that evolved from a different point in the play, according to the feng shui law in the book, it is impossible to appear and dare not approach this lively auspicious point, otherwise it will be like the ten thousand-year-old meat mushroom in Insect Valley. In that way, the feng shui pattern of "Qinglong Dunpen, screen walking horse" that collided with it at the mouth of Insect Valley was weathered. And sinceThat snow Maitreya jellyfish can use its tentacles to attack everyone here, so why didn't Lao Hu and Xue Li Yang, who were facing Xia Glacier when they drilled into Han Shuna's body, didn't use their tentacles to attack them? The screenwriter arranged a dangerous situation here, just like in the previous work "Longling Labyrinth", it was written in the book that the "Inner Tibet" was dedicated to the burial of female aristocrats, but insisted that it was Li Chunfeng's tomb. Behavior.
In fact, in the novel, the author arranged the plot of the Black Tiger Xuantan, first of all, to let Lao Hu and the others confirm the connection between the Demon Kingdom, the Ghost Cave Clan and the Xianwang Tomb through the stone carvings and murals here, and make sure that they came to Kunlun Mountain. Come on right. The second is to let them take a good rest and recover their physical strength, so that they have the opportunity to sleep until they don’t want to sleep anymore, so as to have the physical strength to deal with the follow-up dangers; however, the screenwriter arranged their resting place at the back and entered the altar and lightning strikes the mountain. The closer to the altar, the more dangerous it is, how can you sleep peacefully? There is also an arrangement for them to get the elixir of a thousand-year-old turtle shell here, just like the humanoid Muyu in the Insect Valley. After A Xiang lost her hand and fell into a coma and Uncle Ming was injured, it was the turtle shell that saved her. The second thing
changed was to change the crystal eye of the ghost mother placed at the bottom of the wind-eroded lake in the original book, and put it inside a bronze statue of an organ, and the entrance must be opened with a dust bead. There are two flaws in this adaptation, and neither of them makes sense. The first one, according to the follow-up plot, the mirror image of the evil Luohai City in the play was created by the reincarnation sect using the dust beads (the reincarnation sect actually has the dust beads), not with crystal eyes. Why did Lou take out the eyes of the first-generation ghost mother? He also built such a high-quality facility to place the pair of crystal eyes, which are enclosed inside the bronze statue, and the statue is located above the cliff. The Black Tiger Mysterious Altar is not far from the ninth-floor demon building. Why is the Samsara Sect superfluous? Could it be that the Samsara Sect was specially prepared for the later Xue Li Yang?
In the book, the reason why the author set up the reincarnation sect and placed the crystal eye at the bottom of the wind-eroded lake is because the real Eurasian City sank at the bottom of the wind-eroded lake, and then buried the ghost mother's brain under the ground on the other side of the green rock on the lakeshore before using it. The remaining memories of the ghost mother during her lifetime transformed into a mirror image of Eeluohai City, which means that the ghost mother's brain was buried at the bottom of the mirror image of Eeluohai City. The combination of the crystal eye and the brain can make the ghost mother's boundless demon pupil successful. Moreover, the mirror image of Eeluohai City in the book is not near the Black Tiger Profound Altar at all. It takes three days to walk from the Black Tiger Profound Altar to the gate of disaster to enter the city of Eeluohai. The back door of the gate of disaster is the wind erosion lake. Also, it was because the crystal eyes were at the bottom of the lake that the dispute between the white-bearded fish and the spotted scorpion was aroused, explaining why Lao Hu and the others encountered the danger of the fish array when they entered the gate of disaster, and because the white-bearded fish king was near the water tower and swallowed it first The crystal eye paved the way for the timely appearance of the crystal eye when Lao Hu and the others lifted the spell.
The second one is that the Samsara Sect actually has Zong Chenzhu in their hands. They actually created a mechanism that requires Zong Chenzhu to open, and they also used Zong Chenzhu to create a mirror image of the city of evil Luohai? You must know that the Samsara Sect is a remnant after the demise of the Demon Kingdom, and the Ghost Cave Clan who returned to Zagrama Mountain is another group (this is reversed in the play, and the Ghost Cave Clan is still before the Devil Kingdom), The reason why Samsara Sect went back to Kunlun Mountain's ninth-floor demon building to take away the eyes and brains of the ghost mother was to rebuild the demon kingdom, but because there was no Luo Chenzhu, in the end they could only rebuild a mirror image of the evil Luohai city. If they had Zong Chenzhu in their hands, with the means of sacrificing snake bones they mastered, they would have revived the Devil Kingdom long ago. The reason why the Devil Kingdom perished in those days was because King Gesar and Padmasambhava joined forces to take away the Zong Chenzhu. Writers, have you thought about this? It can be seen that this adaptation is a self-righteous behavior, and it is not logical at all.
Zhong Chenzhu pattern organization
The third old Hu who changed randomly, they encountered the attack of the striped Jiao in the mirror image of Eiluohai City, and Axiang was bitten off his hand. When Yu Lingjun watched this, his mind was full of confusion, how could it be possible? It is said that although the shadow city of Eluohai is a city of mirror images, according to the explanation in the book, it also exists objectively, which means that everything Hu Bayi and the others see in the city is true, including the beef they eat. .
This is because the eyes of the ghost mother are boundless demon pupils, which have a powerful ability to transform the realm (equivalent to the power of the mind), which can map the impression fragments of the city of Eilaohai in her memory to the real world and become a real thing. It is like moving the mirror world at a specific time in the mirror to the real world, so from the mirror illusionThe time in the transformed Eeluohai city is frozen at one point. According to the explanation in the book, it is the entity of imaginary space in the real world. This kind of fantasy is similar to the Marvel drama "Wanda and Vision", where Wanda created a Xijing Town in her imagination out of thin air with her super-strong ideation. Vision in Westview and her twin sons exist objectively, but they were created by Wanda based on her own impressions.
Judging from the performance in the play, everything in the mirror image of Eiluohai City in the play is also real, because Fatty and Uncle Ming also ate beef. Since everything in the mirror image of the city is real, why don't the striped Jiaojia go to the city to eat those foods, such as beef and street fruits, or simply treat the city as a nest and have to wait for the old age? Hu attacked them only after they entered? From the perspective of the play, everything in the city was quite well preserved before, which is basically in line with the logic of a large group of hungry Jiaojiao outside the city. And judging from the destructiveness when they were attacked by Lao Hu and the others, they were not demon slaves like the White Wolf King and Dapu Ghost Bug, and they could not be guarding the Shadow City.
The two striped scorpions in the book actually live in the virgin forest on the other side of the wind-eroded lake. The only targets they attack are the white-bearded fish king, because they have the nature to compete for pearls, and they want to put the two in the fish king's stomach. A crystal eye popped out. Although the striped Jiaojiao is ferocious, they are also a thousand-year-old species with spirituality. They can smell the vision of the mirror image of Era Sea City, so they will not approach the Shadow City. Ah Xiang's hand was not bitten by a striped dragon. In the book, it was bitten by a salamander on an underground volcanic island at the bottom of the lake, but it was all there for food. After being beaten to death by the fat man, he was cut and roasted. . Also, Peter was not bitten to death by the striped scorpion, he was killed by the ice ladybug in the ninth-floor demon building.
In fact, the author in the book arranged the appearance of Mirror Evil City for a purpose, that is, to let Xue Li Yang analyze the method to lift the curse. Because she saw the cause of the mirror image of the city, Xue Li Yang finally figured out the curse of the red spot and ghost caves, snake gods, and the devil based on the sacrificial ceremony of the devil depicted on the human skin murals in the temple, combined with the long poem of the world's enemy of the Orb King. and Zong Chenzhu, and deduced the way to lift the curse. That is, the mirror image of Eero Haicheng and the ghost cave are the passages that lead to the imaginary space (the place where the snake bones are buried) through the illusion of the boundless demon pupil, so Uncle Ming and Axiang, who have never been to the ghost cave, were also caught in the shadow city. The mark of the erythema of the eyeball is nailed, and it becomes a sacrifice to sacrifice the snake bone in the imaginary space. Then as long as you find the real ruins of the city of Eeluohai, in the deepest altar, hold the opposite ceremony of opening the eyes of the ghost mother, the boundless demon pupil, and use the dust beads (eyes of the snake god) to close the "transitional illusion" and cut off the real world. The connection with the imaginary space (where the snake bones are buried), then the curse will end. The screenwriter of the
drama version obviously ignored the plot role of the novel and regarded Mirror City as a walkthrough, and in order to make it a bit interesting, he also arranged a striped Jiao attack self-righteously, but he figured out Xue Li Yang's way of breaking the curse. This scene was arranged at Ishii and analyzed by simply looking at a few pillars and stone carvings. In Yu Lingjun's personal opinion, it is simply a slander of the exquisite design of the novel. The last thing that
changed was that the ending seriously simplified the difficult process for Lao Hu and the others to lift the curse. The unraveling in the play is simply too easy. First, it was easy to enter the altar, and then there was no internal strife, and the transition from breaking the curse to sacrificing one person only required a pair of eyes. Uncle Ming actually found out in conscience that he took out the crystal eyes he stole. The only thing that threatens them in the whole process is the attack of the striped Jiao, but what is puzzling is that when Lao Hu and the fat man were entangled in the striped Jiao, Xue Li Yang did not go to the sacrifice first, Zong Chenzhu and one of them. The crystal eye has always been in her hand, and the other is in Axiangna. She can take advantage of Laohu to fight with the striped Jiaojiao, and she will go to worship first. When the striped Jiaojiao is solved, and then the sacrifice is completed, the curse is completed. After that, the popular altar collapsed, everyone escaped, and Lao Hu's journey to unlock the curse was all over. Not only is the process simple, but the wisdom of the entire drama Lao Hu has been pulled down by more than ten grades than in the book.
Not to mention that the gate of disaster before entering Eilaohai City is gone, the white-bearded fish that paved the crystal-eyed wind-eroded lake and the striped scorpion are gone, the real Eluohai City and the underground world at the bottom of the lake are gone, what everyone experienced when they dived to the bottom of the lake A wave of danger is gone, the volcanic island strikes Leishan and the altar of Yushan trembles, and you can only close your eyes and walk through the terrifying white tunnelThe Dao is gone, and the plot of the altar where there are dangers is also gone.
Netizens made a schematic diagram of the Kunlun Shrine
The book arrived at the altar, Lao Hu and Xue Li Yang saw the mural, at first they thought that one person would be sacrificed for the sacrifice, but the cunning Uncle Ming robbed Zong Chenzhu and forced the gold trio to die in order to complete the sacrifice. As a result, the time for the sacrifice was exhausted and the crystal tremor appeared. The internal environment of the entire Yushan became more and more sinister, and it almost made Zong Chenzhu be thrown into the abyss in the fight. The densely packed mummified corpses with their eyes dug out were almost sunk into the mountain of corpses to retrieve the Zong Chenzhu. At the same time, after being reminded by Xue Li Yang, it was discovered that a pair of eyes was actually needed for the sacrifice; at this time, the white-bearded fish king and the zebra Jiao also fell from the bottom of the lake. At the altar, the fish king was hit by a striped scorpion and spit out a crystal eye. Lao Hu wanted to use the crystal eye to sacrifice, and at a critical moment, he risked his head being bitten by the striped scorpion. Although
succeeded in obtaining two sacrificial items, the crystal tremor caused by the "Big Black Sky Strikes Thunder Mountain" has already appeared, and the crystal layers in the cave have turned black. The shock made the bones and internal organs turn into mud, shaped like a pile of meat patties and died instantly. Lao Hu and others were surrounded by the black crystal layer; at the critical moment, Lao Hu wanted to use the mummy to pave the road, stepping on the mummy to avoid contact with the black crystal layer. He went to the altar to complete the sacrifice, but the crystal tremors intensified, causing the cone on the top of the cave to fall, the nose of the fat man who moved the mummy to pave the road was cut off, and Uncle Ming was also injured. Then, at the last moment, he handed the sacrifice to Xue Li Yang and threw it into the pool to successfully release the curse, suspending the spread of Thunder Mountain and Crystal Tremor.
However, it was too late to rejoice when the curse was lifted, and he was attacked by the lamp-extinguishing silver salamander who explained the mummified corpses in the altar and sucked human blood; after killing the strange fish, Ah Xiang's ecstasy symptoms took the crowd to the back hole of Yushan Mountain. When the way was blocked by the crystal cone, Lao Hu once again used his extraordinary analysis to determine the way out behind the cave, and successfully led everyone out of the mine; The black snake that must appear in the ancient city; chased by the snakes, everyone fled into the huge black statue of Gubi, but found that the inner cave was actually the prison where the martyrs were imprisoned in the past, but because of the arrival of A Xiang, the martyrdom of the year was awakened. Those who left behind a vicious curse of resentment triggered the continuation of crystal tremors and earthquakes, resulting in the complete disintegration of the evil Luohai city, helping Lao Hu, who was besieged by the black snake and desperately desperate, to take the opportunity to escape.
It can be seen that the thrilling level of the drama version is not at the same level as the book, which is a complete waste of the original complete and thrilling classic plot settings in the book. This adaptation is even more sorry for the author's world tyrants 's unrestrained imagination and the creative intention behind this magnificent work.
You must know that on the surface, "Kunlun Shrine" is about the journey of Lao Hu and the others to break the curse, to restore the history of the rise and fall of the Demon Kingdom, but it discusses the laws of the rise and fall of all religious regimes. That is, the rise of all religious regimes is inseparable from feng shui and theocratic worship, but will eventually perish due to these two factors. Throughout the entire "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series, not to mention that the translocation of the dragon veins often mentioned in the book will cause feng shui changes and lead to the rise and fall of dynasties. When it comes to theocracy alone, people under theocracy, with the repressive rule and the awakening of public opinion, will inevitably doubt their beliefs in the end, and it is precisely this that is the most deadly impact on theocracy. In the novel, the author abstracts the impact of the awakening of public opinion into the curse of the martyrs of the demon kingdom, and deeply explores the reasons for the final demise of all religious regimes and even repressive regimes in history. This is the creative intention behind the novel. Obviously, the drama version of "Kunlun Shrine" did not show this at all.
