The first and second parts of "A Westward Journey" have brought many literary and artistic youths an enlightenment in the sense of film. Many people went to the cinema to watch "Journey to the West 3" with the feelings of the year, but after watching them, they found out , The feeling of the year is no longer in the film. Zhi Zun Bao and Fairy Zi Xia were not there, only Bai Jingjing came back to make soy sauce, and the director was still the original director Liu Zhenwei, with a bunch of newcomers playing old feelings.
After the release of "Da Hua Xi Journey 3", the word-of-mouth was extremely poor, especially for Han Geng's Zhi Zun Bao, whose acting skills were terribly poor and he was scolded to death. The original Zixia fairy played by Tang Yan was bad enough, but Han Geng was the result. In contrast, she seemed to be pretty good at acting. Among the bad reviews, even Han Geng's fans are embarrassed to say, "Do you know how hard Korea is? You can do it, you can go!" There is no such thing. Of course, it was director Liu Zhenwei who was scolded the most. Netizens said he was exhausted, fried rice and so on.
The first two parts of "A Westward Journey" have suddenly turned into classics many years later; and "A Westward Journey 3" is almost never a chance to become a classic. The root of
comedy is actually tragedy, a tragedy of "unreachable" type, so real comedy masters can often master tragedy proficiently. In 1994, Stephen Chow had reached a bottleneck in his career development. In the eyes of some orthodox film academic experts, he was just playing a little trouble, and had nothing to do with the real comedy art, so the Golden Image Award at that time even had a chance to nominate. , Never gave Zhou Xingchi. So at that time, Stephen Chow hoped to transform and get rid of the nonsensical comedy style. With this idea, he and Liu Zhenwei hit it off right away, because when Liu Zhenwei got the script of "Journey to the West", he wanted to make Zhizun Bao a tragic hero. That's why there was the later "Journey to the West" movie.
"There used to be a sincere love in front of me, I didn't cherish it... If I have to add a time limit, I hope it will be 10,000 years!" This classic line of "A Westward Journey" is actually a copy of "Wang Jiawei" For the lines in "Chongqing Forest", if the memory is a canned food, I hope that the canned food will not expire. If it must be added a day, I hope it will be ten thousand years.
"The sword in my throat at the time was only 0.11 cm. After a quarter of the incense, the mistress of this sword will definitely fall in love with me..." This line is also in "Chongqing Forest" When I was closest to him, the distance between us was only 0.1 cm...
Of course, there were some plagiarisms from Wong Kar-wai’s "Evil and West Poison", leading many people to say that "Journey to the West" did not Creativity. Moreover, "A Journey to the West" was inspired by Wong Kar-wai's film "Evil in the East", and "Journey to the West" which Liu Zhenwei adapted from "Evil in the West".
However, in recent years, Liu Zhenwei's film is not as good as one. This time, the filming of "Journey to the West 3" has been accused of fried rice and ruined classics. Liu Zhenwei didn't know how to make a movie after "Westward Journey", so much so that he repeatedly borrowed the classics of "Westward Journey", but the effect was not good. Now Liu Zhenwei's market reputation is very bad.
Many people say that Liu Zhenwei's rivers are going down. In fact, some parts of "A Story of Westward Journey 3" are quite ingenious. The degree of completion of this film is also quite high. Of course, the actors' acting skills are too poor, which is the biggest flaw of this film. Originally, Liu Zhenwei intended to surpass the first two parts of "A Westward Journey", but the more he worked hard, the more he would destroy the classics. After all, the right time and place are not there.
This actually provides a negative teaching material for some people who want to surpass the classics. That is why the classics are difficult to surpass, and why he is a classic, because it is very well balanced. His shooting skills, plots, character settings, and feelings are various In terms of reaching a balance point, he is a very complete balance. One point increase is too long, and one point decrease is too short.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for Liu Zhenwei to make breakthroughs on the basis of the first two parts of "Journey to the West" with the help of old feelings and old themes.
A person who wants to truly become a master in a field must not fry it over and over on the basis of other people's cold food, because that is already a classic, and any change you make will destroy its balance and perfection. So if you want to become a master in a certain field, you can only find another way and create classics yourself.
Liu Zhenwei’s career as a director has been frustrated repeatedly, andHis views on fried cold rice are closely related and are also affected by marketization; this also indirectly tells us a truth: the classic "Journey to the West" that was no longer the classic, Stephen Chow is really very important, and Liu Zhenwei It seems not so important anymore.
