Before it was released, I watched the trailer and was actually quite worried. Because of the appearance of Ding Sitian, I thought it should be the plot of "The Tomb of the Yellow Skin". Anyone who has read the novel knows that "The Tomb of the Yellow Skin" is the most bizarre in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but it is also the weakest plot of the tomb robbery. In addition, Lu Chuan said before that China would not allow tomb robbers to shoot, and was very worried that the filming of "Looking for the Dragon" would become a plot of the Japanese army's three-day tour of the ruins and the battle against the weasel.
After reading it, I found that this is not the case. It is almost a new story based on "Huangpizi Tomb" and "Jingjue Ancient City".
And then from this new story, it's very well set up.
First of all, from the point of view of the censorship system, among so many domestically released films, only "Drug War" gave me the illusion of when the domestic censorship system became such that the police are collecting money, and the drug dealers are burning money. The new story of "Looking for the Dragon" perfectly avoids some key points of the censorship. Students who have seen "Huangpizi Grave" should know what happened in the end, and "Longhun Jue" draws on "Huangpizi" for reference. The concept of "Grave" can not only seal the mouth of the original party, but also escape the knives of the radio and television old men, what? Did you say no? Then you have given all the domestic horror films released in the past few years.
Then about tomb robbing, this should be taboo in radio and television. "Long Searching" is very cunning in the plot setting: I am going to rob tombs, but I am not robbing tombs. Because it involves spoilers, I won't say much, and the students who watch it will understand it by themselves.
And about the zongzi, the zongzi is the essence of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". If there is no zongzi in "Long Searching", it would be strange if the original party didn't spray you to death, but if you want to make the dead body alive in the movie, then don't watch the movie. . Therefore, the zongzi in "Looking for the Dragon" is the subtlety of this new story: there is no logical problem, and it can seal the mouth of the original party.
Finally, the most satisfying thing about the original work party is that in the novel, although Hu Bayi and others have been robbing the tomb non-stop, they basically did not come up with anything. The world hegemony is indispensable.
Then from the plot point of view, this new story is definitely stronger than "The Tomb of Yellow Skin", because it satisfies the elements needed in the plot of the movie, no matter which aspect.
Finally, let’s talk about the shortcomings. If you are a newcomer who has not read the novel, this movie is basically no problem, but as the original party, there are still some points that are not satisfied:
1. The whole movie lacks novels. The treacherous and imaginative feeling in the burial chamber is not very satisfying.
2. Fatty Wang in the novel is a character with a stronger sense of existence than Hu Bayi. In the movie, Huang Bo didn't have this feeling of acting. He was handed over to Da Jinya, played by Xia Yu, to be greedy for money and stingy. Hu Bayi, played by Chen Kun, stole too much of the limelight.
3. 1:1.85 cover up, down, left, and right are not enough to hit the screen, and then finally change the frame to fill the screen. The feeling to customers is that I am making a mess of this theater. It's really annoying to carry the pot to the theater.
Even if there are some shortcomings, the landlord still gives five stars: I can see the movie on the screen that pleases the original party with all my heart. I hope this "Search for the Dragon" can make a lot of money, and then hurry up Take a photo.
