Speaking of tomb robbery films, I believe that many audiences will not be unfamiliar, especially the adaptations of various film and television in recent years. Among them, the most familiar ones should be "Notes on Tomb Raiders" by the third uncle of the Southern School and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" sung by Tianxia. For Yu Meng, the tomb robbery movie is also a very attractive existence to me.
Regarding the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, you should have seen a lot, and the members of the trio of touching gold have changed batch after batch. Zhang Hanyu, Zhao Youting, Chen Kun, Jin Dong, etc. have all played Hu Bayi, the core member of the gold trio. Of course, my favorite is Hu Bayi played by Chen Kun. As far as the level of film and television dramas is concerned, Chen Kun's version of "Searching for the Dragon" can be regarded as a leader in these films or TV series.
In the late 1980s, Hu Bayi (Chen Kun), Wang Kaixuan (Huang Bo) and Shirley Yang (Shu Qi) planned to wash their hands in the United States. Chase all over the street. Hu Bayi and his fiancée Shirley immigrated to the United States and wanted to live an ordinary life, but on the eve of their wedding, they found out that their first love, Ding Sitian (played by Yang Ying), who died in the "Hundred Eyes Cave" twenty years ago, was obsessed with The other side flower actually appeared again! Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang decided to re-enter the Millennium Tomb in the grassland.
A movie released in December 2015, it has been 5 years since then. With the development of science and technology and the level of filming, there is no shortage of good tomb robbers, but I have always been fond of this "Looking for the Dragon", about Yang Ying's pure face and the highlight moments in her life, about this irrelevant ghost But scary material, about the chemical reaction of Chen Kun, Huang Bo and Shu Qi touching gold, I am deeply impressed.
No matter how long the time has passed, "Looking for the Dragon" really has something to say about the correct way to open the tomb robbery movie!
About dumping, about Feng Shui! If you want to make a good tomb robbery film, these two points really need to be interpreted carefully. They have to have their own universe, just like the zombie movies starring Lin Zhengying. The reason why they are so popular is that it opened a zombie movie. It's the first of its kind, and another point is that it's a group of its own, writing about zombie-related things as if it were a thesis. And our fighting and feng shui are also very important in the tomb robbery film.
The shape of the tomb in the past is similar to the inverted pyramid type, which is the shape of a bucket. So the upside down is to "turn over" the tomb. Funeral customs in China. From the monarchs and nobles to the commoners, they will put their favorite things in the tombs of the deceased.
And Feng Shui is what Chinese people pay more attention to, such as Feng Shui at home and Feng Shui at work. Although we are materialists and don't believe in this idea, we can't stand the belief of the elderly at home and are often brainwashed by them. There are so many classic lines in "Looking for the Dragon", which is also Hu Bayi's formula for touching gold. The first line is: "Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to look at the mountain, one level of entanglement is one level, and there are eight levels of closing doors. Dangerous, there is no yin and yang gossip." The second sentence is: "Touch Jin Xiaowei, if you combine it, you will live, if you divide it, you will die. There are two realms of yin and yang, and the flowers on the other side are blooming in front of you. ; Find the dragon to share the gold, one pass and one risk."
In the movie, every time Hu Bayi crosses the border, he will take out the compass and read the first formula to identify the direction and avoid the key points of the agency. It can be said that Hu Bayi can successfully pass through various levels, relying on these few formulas and his own ingenuity.
Just like this "Looking for the Dragon", if you want to be outstanding, you must have a set of rules for its upside down. We don't believe in ghosts and gods, and we don't believe in feng shui, but our lines and rules must be wonderful.
As I said before, the performances of several actors are also very wonderful. If I had to give this movie 80 points, I would give the actors 50 points for their acting skills. As the protagonist of the movie, Chen Kun, Hu Bayi, was 38 years old at the time, and his acting skills were all online. It was a very good challenge to break the routine of performing the unshaven Hu Bayi. Chen Kun's version of Hu Bayi is not handsome, and he takes the lead in loyalty, sometimes humorous, sometimes funny, and successfully shows the span of twenty years to the audience. Hu Bayi was funny and shy when he was young, but 20 years later, Hu Bayi is calm and mature but has a charm of his own.
Fatty Wang, played by Huang Bo, feels quite suitable for him. In addition to his sense of humor and loyalty, Fatty Wang in this film also has a hint of infatuation. After 20 years, he still loves the girl he promised when he was young. Of course, this version of Fatty Wang is not the only one who is infatuated. Fatty Wang in "Restart: The Extreme Sea Ting Lei" is not a child who washes his hair all day and is busy. Fatty Wang is not only funny, but also infatuated!
The Shirley played by Shu Qi didn't surprise me much, because this kind of role is not too challenging for our brother Qi. What beautiful role has she never played before? In the movie "Angel of the Sunset", she has long since performed her heroic appearance. Today, I still want to talk about Yang Ying. In this film, Yang Ying abandoned her big pupils and her delicate makeup, and gave her some yellow skin that is unique to Inner Mongolian girls. Although the character's appearance is not as good as those of her retouched photos, but she abandoned these external factors, and the shyness, panic, and youthfulness of a little girl in the film are all in this vegan Angelababy. For her to win the award, no one can persuade her. This film has also become a highlight of Yang Ying's performance experience.
For a good movie, the performance of the actors is really very important. We have no shortage of good scripts. We have a solid foundation for the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which has a large number of fans. Coupled with the wonderful performances of the actors, this film can pass.
Of course, there is one more important point. We are shooting action fantasy adventure films. Although there are fantasy elements, we do not encourage too many such elements for the time being. There are many fantasy elements in "Looking for the Dragon", the resurrection of Japanese soldiers, the slashing and killing of zongzi, and the appearance of Ding Sitian's goddess. All this amazed the audience, but in the end the director ended it all with an "obsession", just like the shattered other side flower, everything turned into nothingness. There are no ghosts in the world, and the mediocre people disturb themselves. It will be sooner or later for the trio to wash their hands. After all, this kind of thing is illegal, and we do not encourage it. This is the core of the film: it has been stimulated, taken risks, and seen too much, but it is actually an illusion. One more thing: we do not encourage tomb robbing. Just take a look, let's go home and get married and have children!
The film closely follows the theme of "tomb robbery", and does not fall into the original classic of "God Restores". The storyline of the original tomb exploration has been further expanded, the characters are full of emotions, and the storyline is rich and complete. Inheriting the essence of the original work and making a reasonable adaptation, using an authentic "touching gold" process to deduce an ups and downs adventure story, stripping the "tomb raiding" layer, the film also has flesh and bones. The actors' portrayal of their respective roles is harmonious, unified and distinct, and the plump characters are surprising and impressive. Undoubtedly, the release of "Searching for the Dragon" has opened a new era for the Chinese film projection industry, and will make the story conveyed by the film more convincing.
