Let me tell you the story without spoilers. Although I am half a fan of books, I have only read the second half of the eight books of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but fortunately, the one that impressed me the most was the one from the movie. The closest relationship. Many old book fans are already familiar with the story of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so if the filming of the film is simply a remake of the novel's plot, it will inevitably make people feel uninspired. A little suspense is fun. Therefore, the crew decisively asked Ba Sing to come out again, and wrote the ninth part of "Searching for the Dragon" on the basis of "Huangpizifen". The characters are highly restored to the original work, but the plot still maintains suspense. More importantly, the most important and huge thing in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" restored with the highest respect in the movie-the worldview. Whether it is the setting of key items or the layout of the underground palace structure, it can be described as painstaking efforts, and it can be seen that the crew is full of sincerity.
When writing a novel, the stories and protagonists in the novel will leave room for readers to imagine, and the greatness of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is that it uses the author's huge knowledge to build an incomparably huge world view. In this magical world In the novel, we followed the pace of Captain Mo Jin, and we went deep into the dangerous land again and again, but finally saved it from danger. This is also the reason why "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can be well received in similar novels all the year round. But the movie is different. The characters in the story will be shown alive in front of everyone and tested by every reader. A thousand readers have a thousand Harry Potter in their hearts. How to make the characters in the book come alive , has become the biggest problem in the adaptation of the novel. And what this movie did to me was amazing. Stunning From the moment Chen Kun revealed his stills, I felt that it was done. This man is Hu Bayi, with a full beard, and his eyes are full of determination but revealing unruly. As soon as this Hu Ye appeared on the stage, it gave people the feeling that he was playing Hu Bayi in the ninth film. He has experienced too much life and death, he is used to seeing the danger of touching gold, and he only wants a safe and peaceful life, so he also A lot more calm and sophisticated, but the candle in his heart that was lit in the southeast corner of the tomb has not been extinguished, and coupled with the old comrades who always want to go home, it is only a matter of time before he returns to the mountain. Wang Kaixuan's image in the original text is a fat man, and Huang Bo's interpretation of Fatty Wang gives people more excitement. You may even think why the original text is written as a fat man. Fatty's body type is obviously unscientific! And Huang Bo also fully showed Kai Ye's temperament, more slutty, naughty, cynical, and really did not care about the body. The increase of emotional scenes in the movie has made the literary color that has been criticized in the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" fully displayed and greatly sublimated. It can be said that Huang Bo redefines Wang Kaixuan. Shirley Yang's character I couldn't even imagine what kind of girl she was when I was studying. She is rich in knowledge, a second-generation immigrant, and her beauty is certain. Fire and water. Shu Qi's performance can be described as superb. It turns out that we also have Laura in our country, and this Laura is not only sexy, but also full of skills. The development of Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang's emotional drama in the movie is even more eye-catching and logical. Added fun again. Da Jinya, does Xia Yu's acting skills still need to be said? He is only young again. In the film, even people who have turned into zombies and are dying are struggling to get a sense of existence. All of this makes people sigh. This is the authentic gold-touching fan!
Returning to the properties of the movie itself, under the story structure of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the story has been most completely preserved and fully interpreted, and the amazing performance of the actors has further enhanced the development of the story. The layout of the underground palace scene can be said to be just right, making people see that they are well-intentioned. The most recent successful case of a well-known novel remake film, especially the successful shooting of such a large-scale fantasy adventure type film, his significance is extraordinary. On the basis of filling this type of commercial film in our country, he also proved to the Chinese people what kind of height the most advanced technology and level of today's industrial films in our country can reach. If I was sitting in the movie theater during the summer vacation and watching a commercial film like "Monster Hunt", I only felt that my country was able to localize the films produced on the Hollywood industrial assembly line so maturely and achieve amazing box office results. I am amazed, the feeling that this "Searching for the Dragon" brought me can be completely described as shock. I still remember when I was sitting in the movie theater watching "Avatar" and "Pi", sitting in front of the computer watching "Indiana Jones" and "Tomb Raider", I still sighed that our country wants to make such movies It will take ten or twenty years. However, in just a few years, when the business model of our film has been initially formed, the film censorship model has gradually relaxed, and the film special effects film industry has just been tried, we can make such a work. Now, this has to be said to be another great miracle of our country. At this time, when I wrote down a lot of words, my thoughts were still stuck in this visual feast. When the three of them passed by and looked up, another splendid world was displayed in front of everyone. The protagonist was amazed and excited, and there was a sense of pride in this complicated relationship. We can finally sit in the cinema and spend RMB to enjoy domestic commercial movies and use movie tickets to contribute to the Chinese film industry. Now that we have been able to make and have good movies, I will cherish the movie tickets in hand even more so that the market can Speak, let those good movies with good stories and stories appear more in the audience's sight, and let those boring, crazy, rogue and bad movies die early on the road of losing money. The same novel changes, one is amazing Time, I haven't watched the other one so I won't comment. I will also recommend this "Looking for the Dragon" to everyone with my respect for those who love and focus on the film industry. I will also bring my relatives and friends to the theater for a second or even third visit. My strength may be small. , but I know and can feel that the world is getting better and better because of the existence of countless little mes.
