On January 30th, the ancient costume fantasy drama "The Great Lord of the North Spirit Youth" (hereinafter referred to as "The Great Lord") starring Wang Yuan and Ouyang Nana was launched. Douban has not yet opened points, but from the audience's comments, it is sad to pass the line.
First, let’s look at more than 4000 short reviews, which can be described as polarizing. It is easy to see that the position of Wang Yuan and Ouyang Nana’s fan control reviews has been covered by Douban. Among the five popular reviews on the homepage, two have five stars. , There are three negative reviews. What’s interesting is that the two negative reviews with less "usefulness" are placed first. Obviously the system has activated anti-cheating, no matter how the fans operate, there is no way to squeeze the two negative reviews. Out of the homepage.
In recent years, TV series of the same genre have not been successful, but it is rare to see them as thorough as "Democratic Master". So what's the difference in "Big Master"?
The story is pale, and the personality of the characters is fuzzy
"The Great Master" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Tiancan Tudou. Before that, Tiancan Tudou wrote the series of "Martial Universe" and "Douluo Continent" successively. When "The Great Ruler" was launched, it had already given people the feeling of exhausting their talents and screaming for new words. The unchanging routine of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the protagonist has never been defeated, and has good luck again and again. Not only does the novel lack depth, but also has no good sections. The whole story is a main line of the rise of waste wood, which is looked down by others. The work is lacklustre.
Even so, this series of novels actually produced a lot of copies, and generally failed the Douban score, which shows the readers' dislike of this series of novels.
Therefore, it can be said thatwas adapted into a TV series, that is, rushing to the name of the silkworm potato and trying to harvest a group of young audiences. However, the novel itself is very weak, and the script written on this basis is equally boring, with a plot that can be seen almost at a glance, and the character's personality is vague. Wang Yuan's Mu Chen is born with no spiritual power, but has continuous adventures. Eventually grow into a "master", this kind of routine setting is really boring! Without a good script, it is difficult to portray the characters well. After watching the two episodes, except for Wang Yuan and Ouyang Nana who have the protagonist halo, the other characters are very fuzzy.
special effects in addition to fifty cents, but also lack of imagination
As a fantasy theme, special effects are an inevitable part. The evaluation of special effects is actually a two-part consideration. First of all, the level of special effects is good enough, and the details of special effects are fine. There are no surprises in this part of "The Master", it may be expensive for fifty cents.
is a big scene at first. The first act of the opening is a city created by computers. This seems to have become a classic in fantasy TV series. I really don’t understand the meaning of this operation. It seems not as good as the renderings of real estate advertisements. ! The first shot is pretty bad.
followed by Wang Yuan walking at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. The scene is beautiful and shocking. Here I want to give the crew a thumbs up. At that time, "The Master" was filmed in New Zealand. This part should be New Zealand material.
In fact, the title design of the first episode is a bit "Game of Thrones". You must know that Quan You is basically based on real scenes. If you can go down this creative direction, "The Master" should be good, even if I also admit that the plot is bad and there is no acting skills.
then went to the Beilingyuan, the presentation of the big scene is still the page game level, you can ignore these details, but when it comes to the actual test of special effects, the "Master" still shows its timidity.
For example, special effects in multiple fights can highlight the "fairy spirit" of the characters. You can only look at it casually. You can't dig out the details, otherwise you will think what it is? "Thunderbolt Bebe"?
The motion capture is equally bad. The eagle who snatched the mustard coin made it feel as light as a swallow, with no details at all, especially perfunctory.
The dragon behind the Dragon Palace, sure this is not a snake? The TV series dared not give a still close-up at all, because the model of the dragon's head was not exquisite enough, even without scales, it was too foolish.
In the second episode, the students went to the secret realm to try and met the snake king. However, it became the worst scene in the first two episodes. The director was too perfunctory, and there was almost no action. The King Snake still couldn’t see the details. Since there is so little money, why have to go to New Zealand to shoot on location and spend the money on production. Is it good? Seeing this, there is no expectation for the special effects of "Master".
The second consideration isImagination. This is the most important part of text to image conversion. This was the problem with Wu Lei's "Asura". The Hollywood team has a high level of special effects, but because of the lack of imagination, everything from setting to art is terrible. "The Great Master" has a sense of "Asura".
All the scenes oflook very empty, lack of proper props and furnishings, and have no gorgeous feeling at all.
The design ofDragon Palace is simply ugly, and the director really didn't ask for it.
What are these things that go around? Might as well change two incense burners.
pay attention, it seems that except for the New Zealand location, the domestic scenes are probably all shot in the studio, including the market in the college and the secret forest. They are all very fake and the lighting is not strong. The lighting team is not even too lazy to simulate the sunlight effect. No wonder the filming was finished in less than 4 months.
The script, special effects, art, and setting are all failing. Even if a group of good actors cannot be saved, let alone Wang Yuan and Ouyang Nana who do not have much acting skills? So the lines and acting skills of the two people are regarded as the biggest slot of "The Great Master". In fact, it's a bit wronged. It's hard to save the production of such a fairy. What do you think?
