How to give audiences a successful movie with a satisfying outcome

I have been looking forward to the movie of my favorite Ghost Blowing Lantern. This year, there are two "Ghost Blowing Lamp: Nine-Story Demon Pagoda" and "Ghost Blowing Lamp: Searching for the Dragon". I am completely disappointed in the nine-story demon tower. When I saw a ghost blowing a lamp, I ran away from the back, all kinds of disappointment and a feeling of being deceived. There can be no tomb robbery, monsters, aliens and so on come, even the protagonist's life experience is unbearable.
"Looking for the Dragon" felt good after seeing the trailer, especially the special effects are very good. After the release, I was not disappointed. The story is still clearly told. There is a complete story, and there are also many elements of the original work.
The reason why "Looking for the Dragon" can produce the original feeling, and it is not exactly the same as the original, I think it is because it is a harmonious society now. The screenwriter and director are very attentive. In order to make the film close to the original but pass the review, they cleverly avoid some restricted areas of censorship. You can't have big zongzi, but it's not big zongzi inside, they are just poisoned, how can you see that big zongzi can pull out the black donkey's hoof by itself. Said that they went to rob the tomb, and they have already washed their hands. One is to find out the cause of death 20 years ago; And they didn't steal anything, they all fell to the ground when Fatty Wang and Da Jinya quarreled. Saying that the other side of the flower can bring people back to life is not what I said in the end, it is just a fantasy that a meteorite produces. And what kind of cult, in fact, she doesn't have any mana at all, just the anesthetic in the ring.
In view of the fact that "Searching for the Dragon" only has a little "yellow skin" content, and the story line is newly written by Tianba Sing himself, there is no need to compare it with the novel. Some people wonder if it is a hallucination, then whether the episodes that happened 20 years ago and the later memories are true, and whether there are those people. I don't think it's necessary to know this clearly. The novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has so many things that make you feel that it is both true and false. If you explain all these clearly, it will be boring. Interesting.
Because I only had a slight impression of Fatty Wang and Da Jinya in my mind, I felt that they were more in line with the image in my mind. Wang Kaixuan, played by Huang Bo, is more in line with Lord Kai, and Fatty Wang is still almost, not fat enough. The character of Lord Kai is well grasped, his speech and actions are very appropriate, but unfortunately he did not show his marksmanship skills; Da Jinya still remembers that his mouth can fool people, it seems that Hu Bayi has also been fooled by him once. . Xia Yu's big golden tooth is still shown, because sometimes in the movie I really think he is very talkative hahaha. As for Hu Bayi, he remembers that he understands Feng Shui, which is still very well shown. Shirley Yang, I have no impression at all, and I feel that he played it well. It is quite a thing in the movie. But their emotional scenes were rather abrupt, like a couple who had just started dating bickering in various ways, which made some parts of the movie not thrilling enough, but if you go back to the novel again, you probably won't feel that way, haha .
The "cult" villain in it acted like I was "powerful" in front of me and would die if he didn't listen to me. I feel that the villains in most of the movies now seem to be very strong at the beginning, but the final showdown seems vulnerable, spreading their hands ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍. The one with stronger combat power is the Japanese cos girl. You are good at martial arts, but don't you feel out of place in this outfit? It should be time travel. For the role of AB, there are not many scenes, and the setting is a "goddess", so there is no need for many lines and acting skills, as long as you are responsible for beauty.
As for the special effects, I just want to say that I have made great progress. Wu Ershan is very good at this style, and the picture looks cool. Especially the red scene of the resurrection of the Japanese devil, it should be like an illusion. But that resolution is too high for the eyes to handle. Generally speaking, "Looking for the Dragon" can also be regarded as a very successful domestic commercial film this year.
