slightly disappointing movie

I saw the premiere in Guangzhou yesterday, and I felt so-so. I don't know if it's because the director didn't understand the original book well enough or what. Of course, I haven't read the original book, but from the feeling of watching the movie, the scenes are well shot, but there is a lack of careful portrayal of the characters, Feng Shaofeng's feelings for the wolf Without proper foreshadowing, I feel that some behaviors and changes of the protagonist, including the villain, are rather abrupt. The plot is more like a separate and irrelevant scene. There is no moderate excess and explanation. The whole movie is slightly flat and has no climax. The film is more like a documentary, and it doesn't give the audience anything that touches the depths of their hearts. In addition, Dou Xiao, whom LP and I like very much, is basically a soy sauce, and Feng Shaofeng's play style and personality seem to be different. It fits the character of the protagonist too much.
