Master Xu had two obvious intentions in making this film. First, to restore the visual spectacle of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with the current technical strength. Second, develop a series of movies that belong to China. Tsui Hark is quite promiscuous. According to his own image, he combines the advantages of the three heroes of Kaifeng (Bao Zheng's impartiality, Gongsun Ce's resourcefulness, and Zhan Zhao's outstanding martial arts) to create a brand new image of Di Renjie! In terms of visual effects, it is very coquettish and surreal, especially the statue of the Goddess of Tongtian, which is magical and magnificent, but Wu Zetian is confused. He built a "skyscraper" next to "Zhongnanhai". It's a catastrophic disaster! Back to the topic, sufficient capital guarantees Mr. Xu's dazzling needs, but how to tell a story rigorously and completely has never been his forte, especially this time he is involved in the weakest area of ​​the Chinese film industry ~ suspenseful reasoning! Chen Guofu and Zhang Jialu have just experienced the baptism of "The Sound of the Wind", which also ensures that there are not too many flaws in principle in the structure of the story. Basically, they can justify themselves, but the details and logic are a bit free, so the overall perception can't be talked about. surprise! ! !
