finally took time to catch up with Pan Yueming , Zhang Yuqi and Jiang Chao starring " Kunlun Shrine ", the Douban score dropped directly from 8.3 to 7.5.
does not say that it is a cliff-like decline, but the audience's dissatisfaction with the subsequent plot is also reflected in the difference in scores. On the
network, there are not a few people who complain wildly.
But it's really unnecessary and meaningless to just complain.
First of all we have high hopes for it, and then we can enter the link of hating iron.
has expectations, only to be disappointed. Since
has expectations, I hope to improve and become better.
So, how to ask questions and then solve them seems to be the right way.
Ye Qiuchen has written drama reviews for episodes 1-7 before, and this article will share some feelings about the content of episodes 8-16. There are a total of three regiments in the tomb of
, the first regiment was destroyed, the Ming Shu regiment suffered heavy losses, and the iron triangle is still strong. From the preparation to the end of
, the story was told relatively smoothly, but there are still many regrets and shortcomings.
Some people will say that this is nitpicking. After all, now that you can see good-quality tomb-hunting and treasure-solving puzzles, you should be snickering.
wants everything, is he greedy?
But "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" finally produced a coherent series of adaptations for film and television dramas, and the audience has rated it well for the previous films. What's wrong with keeping improving?
Therefore, this article is not so much a rant about "Kunlun Shrine", but rather a hope that the follow-up can have a lesson from the past, and can be more attentive to the next two "Return to the South China Sea" and "Wuxia Coffin Mountain".
"Kunlun Shrine", where is the difference?
In other words, given the existing limitations and limitations, what operations can do to save the plot and turn the tide?
I will talk about this in 3 ways.
first, the plot is slightly thin.
I don't know how to express this point of view to be more appropriate, but from the current plot, there is no deep-level ideological output other than forming a group to fight monsters.
In fact, there are not many places to make a fuss, just give an example. In the finale of
, the Iron Triangle found a way to use Zong Chenzhu to eliminate the erythema on the back, and successfully escaped from the collapsed tomb, and also brought out Uncle Ming and A Xiang who had broken his hand.
At this point, the mystery of erythema is completely solved.
However, in fact, the design of Ah Xiang's broken hand is very meaningful. After all, the original partridge whistle also broke his arm to survive, and during the expedition, a lot of interactions between , Shirley Yang, and Ah Xiang were arranged.
However, the drama did not go in depth, but only showed the overall situation of the protagonist group, so that the spirit of the Iron Triangle of not abandoning and not giving up its companions was praised, and it did not link to the idea of inheritance.
Second, running account narrative.
Simply put, it's just a plot.
I'm not saying that this conventional linear narrative is not good enough. After all, the "beginning - development - climax - ending" is clearly arranged, although the sparrow is small and complete.
However, no surprises.
Indeed, a simple linear narrative is conducive to the creation of the script, the director's shooting, the smooth editing, the actor's performance, and the audience's understanding.
has many benefits.
but the disadvantage is also obvious.
is flat, unadorned, and lacks ups and downs.
This is not something that can be solved just by leaving the suspense in the last second of each episode.
needs to use non-linear narrative, that is, through some techniques to make the plot look blank, meaningful, and have space for thinking. The food that
feeds you in one breath may not be delicious.
something that needs to be chewed and touched seems to be more worthy of aftertaste.
For example, you can omit part of the content in the plot, and deal with it by foreshadowingreason.
also arranges some past flashbacks, connects time fragments through logic, and so on.
Would you say that there are also memories in the play?
, but playing the filmed scenes repeatedly is equivalent to using memories to make up the time, which is really not advanced.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is a subject that is very conditional for blanking and omitting operations, but "Kunlun Shrine" is obviously not enough.
Of course, I'm not a director major, so I can't reply to the evaluation of "you can do it, you can shoot", I can only talk about my feelings from the audience's point of view.
Third, character tooling. Everyone in
shuttles between different sets in order, promotes follow-up content through language popularization, and sacrifices team members at intervals to achieve the effect of tearing. The tooling of
is too obvious.
1234 Sitting in rows and eating fruit, the unimportant non-protagonists will leave sooner or later.
, for example, the two younger brothers in the Chu area, can guess the ending of the characters from the appearance, the only difference is switching between different methods of death, that is, which monster was bitten to death, and where did they fall to death.
Axiang basically stared at him in the early stage, saying that this move is a foreshadowing and acceptable, but there are still less details and hints, so the final outbreak of ability is a bit abrupt.
The role of the first day of the first year is a very good material in itself, and there is a lot of room for writing, acting and playing. In the
novel, he avenged his deceased sister, so he had to kill the white wolf king.
changed his sister to Gemma here, which indeed made the family's connection with Hu Bayi closer, but also lost the huge motivation for revenge. Although
's disability and loss of life are regrettable, the latter will be more reasonable and stronger as a revenge drive.
Even a character like Uncle Ming from the beginning to the end is very one-sided in portrayal, not to mention the pure tool person Adong.
In terms of character creation, "Kunlun Shrine" is naturally not useless. At least there is a scene that touches my heart, and it was shot very well.
Peter Huang left to protect Uncle Ming. In the content of
, the most important thing is the use of pomegranate, leaving behind images.
imagery is an objective object used to express subjective emotions.
Peter Huang doesn't talk much, but his survivability is very strong. Before Pomegranate, his image was relatively thin, and the only thing that impressed him was that he ate very cleanly, and all the scum was eaten up. After the appearance of
Pomegranate, the character is a little more plump. What
longed for as a child reappeared and finally became his own longing in another world.
associates him saying that fruit is delicious, but he doesn't eat meat. Although
doesn't have much ink, the entire character shaping forms a closed loop and is very complete.
If you have to pick another role, the one who has bright spots and tears in her creation is the daughter of the first year of junior high school. At least in the story that belongs to her, the completion is still good.
and Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Wang Kaixuan in the Iron Triangle, both in character and behavior, they all continue the style of the past, and as members of the protagonist group, they won the "death-free gold medal" in hands, so there is not much to say.
The only impressive part is probably that Hu Bayi and Xue Li Yang confirm each other's hearts and hold hands successfully. The hug of
at the time of crisis can be regarded as adding a lot of color to the emotional line of this pair of official and CP.
The above are all my personal opinions, and there must be some shortcomings. You are welcome to leave a message for criticism and correction.
wrote a lot, in fact, just to see a better series of "Ghost Blowing Lamp", better "Return to the South China Sea" and "Wuxia Coffin Mountain". Although
wrote a lotComments and suggestions, but Ye Qiuchen is still very much looking forward to the content of the sequel.
"The Return of the South China Sea", waiting for you to broadcast.
