Because I didn't have any obsession with the series of novels "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", I didn't have any expectations for "Searching for the Dragon". I thought that it was probably a domestic adventure film, a treasure hunt thriller, and after watching it, I felt quite emotional. Thinking that many viewers feel the same way, this commercial film has completed its mission of creating happiness. No doubt, its box office performance will be very good.
We all know that domestic films cannot have ghosts, so the director and screenwriter stepped on the fuzzy area and played a game of unwarranted underworld. There were cultural revolution educated youths shouting materialism before "sacrifice", and Liu Xiaoqing's qigong master and crazy sister confessed that they were It's gimmicky and deceitful, but from the truth summarized at the end of the film, the large-scale death in the first half and the resurrection of the "big zongzi" zombies in the middle section are actually not complete, but the audience understands what is going on, and they will laugh at the zombies. Instantly turned into gold powder. Yes, the special effects throughout are also well done. Under the 3D effect, all kinds of debris are flying in front of our eyes. We may also blink and hide like we did when watching "Gravity"...
Commercial films need idols. Chen Kun has contributed a beautiful image since he was dubbed "The Flower of the Factory" for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". This time, he is a tough guy with a beard and a sharp face. He is brave and resourceful, loyal to his brothers, and has a bit of humor. Ruffian, can afford to let go of feelings, knows how to solve the knot of first love at the right time - this year's hot theme in mainland films - cherishing the person in front of you, it is a character that men want to be and women want to marry. Miss Shu Qi didn't show her best acting skills, she spoke vaguely, barely holding on because of the role of Changju Meidi, but she was only responsible for having a sexy and lovely talk with Chen Kun about a love that the audience wanted to see. , and Huang Bo, who doesn't know the truth, gags and makes jokes. This three-person interactive drama is just a wonderful pen that surpasses the plain emotional narrative of the original. And Huang Bo's Kai Ye and Xia Yu's Lao Jin are actually very playful roles. Huang Bo played a stubborn, rude and affectionate man who wanted to die for his first love very naturally, but Xia Yu did not forget his righteousness to this greedy for money. The harlequin is a bit exaggerated, and Aunt Xiaoqing is also exaggerated.
anything else? Gone. Digging out the deep connotation of entertainment films is only what marketing accounts and fanatical fans do. We don’t expect ourselves to remember many episodes a month later, but we may remember the nervousness when the giant mosquito hit our face, the worry when the suspension bridge fell, and the knowing smile when the relationship between men and women leapt forward. In addition, the film played Cui Jian's "Rock and Roll on the New Long March Road" in the film and at the end of the film, combined with the sarcasm of the intellectual youth in the film, and "Would you like to sublimate our pure revolutionary friendship?" Such lines that are in line with the historical background of the 1960s and 1980s and poke everyone's bad taste, I feel that this song is really appropriate!
