Have you ever seen a TV series that has been scolded for 21 years? Have you ever seen a TV series that has been scolded for 21 consecutive years but can still achieve a counter-attack by word of mouth? From 3.9 to 8.0 points, do you know how hard the counter-attack of " Journey to the West " is?
In 2000, "Journey to the West", the follow-up story of Journey to the West, was born. However, contrary to the evaluation of Journey to the West, the show was unanimously hated by the audience as soon as it came out, and was even rated as the bad film of the year. . But what is interesting is that the ratings of this TV series were the runner-up that year, and even defeated " iron teeth and bronze teeth Ji Xiaolan ", which makes people extremely curious, what kind of TV series can cause such a polarization phenomenon? It can make the audience can't help watching while complaining.
Let's first look at the wonderful settings in the play. Can you believe Tathagata Buddha would fall in love?
Other TV series tell you that Buddha is sacred and unattainable. Isn't it nonsense to let Buddha fall in love? However, Journey to the West tells you that what other TV dramas dare not do, I dare, I just dare to let the Buddha fall in love. So in the play, you will see that after the reincarnation of the Buddha, the Tathagata fell in love with mortals. This time, it is like the blossoming of an iron tree, and it is two beauties talking about it. The lingering pictures are also one after another, and even the two beauties were sealed as Bodhisattvas when they returned, which is really shocking.
is the so-called up and down effect, as a Buddha, you can fall in love, so what's wrong with falling in love as a Buddhist disciple? In the play, the villain Wutian , when he was still Jinnara , also made outrageous actions with a prostitute named Asha because he went to preach, even if Jinnaro was kicked out of Buddhism because of this later , He didn't forget Ah Shao on the banks of the Daming River, and swore that he would definitely welcome Ah Shao back when he became strong. This kind of plot also made the audience of that year terrified. When Buddha fell in love, it was really a knife in his ass---opened his eyes.
Immediately after, Journey to the West tells you what innovation is. Tang Seng completely subverted the traditional image, that is called a combination of civil and military, wisdom and force coexist, and the monsters are inseparable. Not to mention Wukong, he directly incarnates as a reasoner, and his careful thinking makes people think that this must be a science tyrant, right? As long as there is a little bit of leakage, we can see it clearly, and don't give people a chance to calculate. These characters that subverted the traditional Journey to the West made everyone feel that this was a peerless and bad film, and they all scored negative points.
What makes the audience even more angry is that it doesn't matter if the characters have changed drastically, and there are countless horrible plots in the play. The big boss's Tathagata left his hands behind and chose to take refuge in the world, which was unacceptable to the followers of the Tathagata at that time.
's makeup and hairstyles are amazing, not to mention, even the special effects are terrible, an action scene needs to be repeated more than three times, and slow motion is used to the extreme. The king of bad movies in my heart, the final result was a 3.9-point evaluation.
However, the rating of this drama has risen strangely from 3.9 points to 8.0 points now, and the latest comments are also highly praised. What is the reason for this? In fact, it is not difficult to know the changes in it. Aside from the above slots, the concept of this drama is very worth thinking about. Each character in the
drama has his own unique opinion on love, hate, hatred and madness. For example, Wutian, the biggest villain of the show, whose view of "what's the point of a person's life even if he loses himself" has aroused many viewers' thinking. If there is thinking, there will be evaluation, and the most objective and true reflection can be obtained. , which is also the main reason for the subsequent rise in the ratings of this TV series.
The second is that this drama excavated the story three hundred years after the success of Tang Seng's master and apprentice. This is the part that Journey to the West does not tell, just like the fairy tale only tells you that the prince and Cinderella are finally together, but it doesn't tell you how they lived after marriage? This excavation of the follow-up story greatly attracts the curiosity of the audience. This drama
is not only a continuation of the story of Journey to the West, but also an innovation! tells about the antagonistThe story line of the sky makes the beginning and transition of this drama very exciting. In the play, the stories of Monkey King and others rescuing the soul boy, searching for the relic, and fighting against the sky are also fascinating to watch. Even the little characters in the play have a complete story line. , which gives people the illusion that they are not watching TV, but that such a group of people with powerful mana really lived in the past. Especially the role of Wutian, which tells the story of Wutian's transformation from innocent boy to demon, which resonates with this villain. can even be recognized by the villain, which is one of the successes of this drama. here.
is probably the last batch of little kids who have grown up now, and the ignorant children have a more correct world view, and they can also justify the film and television dramas that they did not understand but were given negative scores. The non-rigid Tang monk, the flesh-and-blood villain, the Bajie who will protect the brothers and sisters even though they are cowardly, and even the Nezha are not exactly the same image", these deeper things always have to be explained by time, just As the lyrics say, "When the sky falls between heaven and earth, there should always be a story for future generations to read."
