Domestic films have rarely tried magic films. First, there is no reference to the experience of their predecessors, and second, they are limited by the backwardness of special effects and makeup technology. However, Yang Zi, a rich and courageous producer, insisted on trying, so a work such as "Legend of the White Snake" was born. The film was shortlisted in Venice's non-competition unit and was officially screened the day before yesterday. The special effects of the film can see the technical progress of Chinese films. In terms of film content, it is a joke, and prototypes can be found from classic movie characters in the past. , the plot is a mixture of elements of Qiong Yao drama, action movie, magic drama, and funny movie.
Of course, the most surprising thing for the author is: I never thought that this is a comedy...
Qing Snake and Fahai's apprentice are the happiest
Why is this a comedy? Precisely because there are more Qing Snake and Fahai disciples can endure this branch. The roles of the two opponents are similar to boy and girl idol dramas. The green snake played by Ah SA is a seductive and savage version of Maggie Cheung's version, just like a jade girl version. So "As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet", the comedy drama was staged-in this one, it was wonderful to be able to endure being deceived by the green snake just after being bitten by the bat demon. The characters of the two characters are quite vivid. At the end of the movie, the scene where the injured green snake and the bat demon who have turned into a bat demon can endure each other and snuggle up together also has a strong comedic effect. Many Chinese media feel that the explanation of this branch is too little. However, it is said that when the domestic version is shown, the content of this branch will be richer.
White Snake is a modern modern woman Huang Shengyi is tested
It's really hard for Huang Shengyi! In "Legend of the White Snake", the thin and thin she not only has to become a beater, fight against Fahai, the water is full of Jinshan, but also play a good love scene with Xu Xian played by Lin Feng. In addition, she is also responsible for making jokes from time to time. material, add some fun. When describing the film, Cheng Xiaodong said that he hoped to use modern methods to tell the story of this millennium, so Bai Suzhen changed from a gentle lady to a modern girl. He had to give him a hug, and the next morning after the two of them slept together, he leaned against the door and gave Xu Xian a wink. Such a plot setting is probably a test not only for Huang Shengyi, but also for any actress.
Those familiar classic movie images
don’t know if it’s a coincidence or the Chinese media is too sensitive. In this movie, we can trace back to the images in many classic movies: the bat demon is like the vampire in the Hollywood movie “Saint” (or several others). The vampire in a Hollywood movie); the rat demon in it is completely the prototype of "Ratatouille"; the scene where the demons and ghosts escaped in the Leifeng Pagoda, the black shadows in the air, reminds people of "Harry Wave" The Death Eaters of the "Special" series... Fortunately, these images are either responsible for horror or funny, and they all play their due role.
Four major jokes:
1. Tolerance: My wish is to become the chief abbot of Jinshan Temple? Fahai: What about me? Can bear: I mean... Fa Hai: After I die? Tolerance: Master is not, I mean... (This dialogue between Fa Hai and his apprentice Tolerance broke the high-level image of the past, very natural, but unfortunately the image did not continue to exert force in the later shaping)
2. Can Shinobu caught the bat demon by the river and jumped on a boat. At this time, several girls in palace maid uniforms spread out the big wings of the bat, and they flew straight up, and the maid costumes swayed around...
3. The mouse that looks like "Ratatouille" jumped into the river with a group of mouse brothers to help Bai Suzhen. Suddenly, a bunch of mice appeared in the water, waiting for the little paws to rise again. At this time, a child's voice sounded: "Brothers, go ahead!"
4. The fox lured Fa Hai and his party into the bamboo forest, and began to perform magic tricks, one by one. A young woman who was wearing little incense climbed out of the pillar and twisted around the pillar. It seemed that some were dancing pole dancing...
