You thought you were watching a game adaptation, but you didn't agree that you were watching a historical drama.
When I thought I was watching a historical drama, I found out that I was watching a fantasy movie.
This seems to be a very tangled film. It has been adapted into a best-selling game work for more than 20 years. It is very famous in the game industry, and if it is adapted properly, it will also gain a lot.
Another "Resident Evil" game adaptation of the live-action and animated version of the movie played well and made a lot of money at the box office.
In addition, when "Dynasty Warriors" shows so many familiar old faces, not to mention the gathering of superstars, it is almost interesting, Gu Tianle , Wang Kai, Yang Youning, Han Geng , as well as Carina Lau, Lin Xue , the joining of Luo Jiaying.
It is reasonable to say that there are many stars, and there are many stars familiar to the audience. They should be able to perform well. Unfortunately, the May 1 golden file has almost no harvest, and the box office is bleak. It only collects more than 10 million yuan.
It's just that the director mistakenly wanted to organically combine the game and history through fantastic special effects, but he ended up playing a super MV with an independent version of short story .

Speaking of the Three Kingdoms, there are two most famous books, one is " Three Kingdoms " by Chen Shou, and the other is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" .
However, it should be noted that the former is included in the ranks of history books, while the latter belongs to the historical novel category. The historical records are relatively boring, but historical novels are fascinating due to the portrayal of characters and the ups and downs of the plot, but many people only remember that there are "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and ignore "Three Kingdoms".
The "Three Kingdoms" switch has such a description about the beginning of the conflict between Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao:
Zhuo arrived, abolished the emperor and established the emperor for the Hongnong king, Kyoto chaos. Zhuo Biao Taizu (Cao Cao) was the captain of the Xiaoqi cavalry school and wanted to do business with him.Taizu changed his name and went back to the east. Going out of the customs, passing through Zhongmu, suspected by the pavilion chief, he went to the county, the city center, or secretly knew it, in order to ask for a solution. Zhuo Sui killed the Queen Mother and Hongnong King . Taizu went to Chenliu, scattered his family wealth, joined up with righteous soldiers, and would kill Zhuo.
This text becomes three interesting stories in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and they are familiar to many people: Cao Cao assassinates Dong Zhuo, Chen Gongyi explains Cao Cao, and Cao Cao kills Lu Boshe the whole family and says that sentence to many people Familiar words: I would rather be blamed than others to blame me .
Among them, the first two are now judged to be non-existent things, and the third thing is not recorded in "Three Kingdoms", but "Wei Shu", "Shiyu" and "Miscellaneous" have records, but the expressions are different.
The history of the generation Lu Simian has also analyzed it specifically, and there is no conclusion. In a word, there is no way to know the inside story of the killing of Lu Boshe's family, but it is confirmed that there is nothing about Chen Gong. Although the history of
is doubtful, the story in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is too strong, and it belongs to the category of market novels, because such stories are widely circulated. In addition, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to have its own rhythm. Another sentence summed up is: can rule the world, a traitor in troubled times.
The movie "Dragon Warriors" did not jump out of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" circle, and wanted to combine the fantasy handling of the game, and then opened an scene. Strong super MV.

said that the scene is gorgeous, but there are many panoramic and overhead shots used in the play. It seems that the scene is still grand, but such a grand panoramic shot can really show the feelings of a movie.
But, having said that, in the face of such emotional works, you should also pay attention to the logical self-consistency, otherwise it will be a bit too funny.
In the scene of Guan Yu Warming Wine and Killing Huaxiong, various coalition forces stood on the top of the hill and watched Huaxiong behead one person after another in the plains. Everyone stood on the mountain and commented on their opinions, and they didn’t need binoculars to see them all.
And after the person was beheaded by Hua Xiong, the head flew directly into the cave where the coalition forces were located.
It seems that Huaxiong's combat power is too strong, and the head that is cut off will automatically find its way to the mountain.
After Guan Yu went to battle, he personally decapitated Hua Xiong, and then he had to ride a horse all the way up the mountain.
This big vision can feel the gorgeousness of the scene and the distance of the road. As the camera zooms in, Guan Yu rode a horse to fight and came back all the way to the rush of music as the camera zoomed in. It was not easy. The spirit of a hero.
Visually, this distance is not eight miles, and it has to be five miles. A glass of wine is estimated to be cold at the speed of a modern car, but the wine was still steaming when Guan Yu came back.
Of course, the most interesting thing is that when the coalition army started to kill one by one, everyone stood high and looked far, and they could see that their hands might be defeated and their heads would fly back. It is reasonable that the distance is very close.
came to Guan Yu, but everyone agreed not to watch it, and the distance became very far. Guan Yu's combat power should be higher than Hua Xiong's, but Hua Xiong's head couldn't fly back. The shooting technique of
seems to be a bit random like an MV. When the distance is close, everyone can see it. When it is far away, everyone hides in the cave and can't see it. Guan Yu rides a It takes half a day for a horse to run.
looks romantic and spooky.

In addition to Guan Yu's warm wine beheading Huaxiong mentioned above, audiences familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can understand what this movie is about.
Down to one line, various classic stories are staged one after another: the Yellow Turban chaos Dong Zhuo enters Kyoto, Cao Cao assassinates Dong Zhuo, Chen Gongyi explains Cao Cao, Cao Cao kills Lu Boshe's family, the dragons gather to oppose Dong Zhuo, Wenjiu kills Huaxiong, Sanying Fight against Lu Bu, and , until the final hero of cooking wine.
Directors and screenwriters should think that these classic short stories are the essence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so the unparalleled combat power in the game is used as a lead, and then these exquisite story pearls are strung together one by one. What do you want to express? What
wants to express in one sentence is: the story of the Three Kingdoms era of , which kicks off from now on.
Because it wants to show the beginning of the story of the Three Kingdoms era, the opening story has to be classic, and the result is the performance of one story after another. Of course, in the process of performance, I have to admire the dazzling scenes and stunts.
Such as , Lu Bu, , when the power exploded, how many people did not come up, all of them were knocked into the sky, and then all fell from the sky like dumplings.
This is even more hacker than "The Matrix". From the perspective of expression, such an operation will make people feel the role of the protagonist's game halo. After all, in the game, the combat power of the soldiers and the protagonist's combat power cannot be compared.
It is estimated that I want to take care of players who have played this game before, and to reproduce the battle scene of the protagonist in the game, so with the blessing of contemporary stunts, any game scene can be desired.
Therefore, Sanying ignored the gravity of the earth when they fought against Lu Bu, and almost flew. This is a reference to the shooting method of MV, and it is possible to enter the sky.
However, games are games, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although the game is very famous, the audience of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is even more popular, and it is the latter, not the game scene, that everyone watches. Short stories are classic stories in novels. If
was not in the name of the Three Kingdoms, would the effect be better if the scene, the relationship between the characters and the overhead tactics were changed?
The director began to think that this is based on the game, just borrowed the shell of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so it can be interpreted in a wild way.
Just, there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to. Comparing with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it can be understood that because the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is too strong and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, any too magical changes may cause the audience to feel uncomfortable.
The degree of overlap between gamers and movie watching is not too high, so that a person who has never been exposed to games will be confused when they see this movie. What does it want to express? Is
the unparalleled combat power of the characters, or is it through the interpretation of the story to express the character, motivation and how to dominate the Three Kingdoms?
When what you want to express is not well thought out, games and novels, or even a little history, can only be turned into a dazzling MV expression.
is beautiful, but the market will be ugly.
