said that Chen Sicheng is trying to create China's first "Tang Detective IP" through the series of " Chinatown detective " series.
But what I want to say is that Chen Sicheng is really a step too late, at least in front of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, his "Detective Chinatown" IP is not enough to watch.
Not to mention the number of fans and book fans of "Ghost Blowing Lamp", just mentioning the movies and TV series that "Ghost Blowing Lamp" has released in recent years, there are as many as a dozen.
Among them, Hu Bayi played by Pan Yueming and Jin Dong is the most memorable.
So at a glance, Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown" is really not enough and in front of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but in the past few years, due to the limitation of the subject matter, the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series of movies has indeed started to go downhill. Can
not rob the tomb , and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" without ghosts can still make a hit movie?
has just been online for 2 days, and " Ghost Blowing Lamp: Huangpizi Grave ", which has dominated the popularity list, has indeed given the answer!
1, small costs , but rhythm is quite in place!
After watching this online big "Ghost Blowing Lamp: Yellow Leather Grave", one of the things I am most impressed with is the cost saving of this movie.
Four protagonists: Hu Bayi, Fatty, Yanzi, Lao Zhao.
After watching the whole episode, I only saw these four people walking around. If there is a little more drama, it may be the dungeon housekeeper, who does have a "weasel" face.
can save actors and costs so much, the rhythm and plot of this network are surprisingly good.
For example, in the first scene in which Hu Bayi and others entered the underground palace, the Huangfu, as soon as the door was opened, the whole lobby seemed to be full of people and lively.
, but the scene of "beheading" was sung on the stage, and the spectators below were all applauding and watching with smiles.
It can be said that opera and ghosts are combined with a large group of spectators who look a little strange. Without the soundtrack, it is a terrible scene.
And this is the fun part of this website, not spending money to hire big names, but focusing on the sense of picture, but on the sense of rhythm.
Especially in such a design in the play, the housekeeper took Hu Bayi to celebrate their master's birthday and asked him to add the word "shou" on the paper on the wall.
When the housekeeper told Hu Bayi that if you can't see the "shou" character, you can stretch your head towards the welcoming pine, Hu Bayi's eyes suddenly and appeared just now on the stage Take out the "beheading" drama.
is the housekeeper who asked Hu Bayi to quickly add a sum, and Hu Bayi already felt something was wrong there.
is the superposition of this kind of picture and the superposition of the horror effect. To be honest, when I saw this paragraph, I felt a little scared.
2, don't rob tombs, play "horror cruise"!
In fact, the reason why "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is popular is because of the plot of "robbing the tomb".
But now not only the plot of tomb raiding has been removed, but also the "ghost legend", which can be said to be stuck in an instant.
But this "Ghost Blowing Lamp: Yellow Leather Grave" is really unusual. It doesn't play tomb robbing and ghosts.
For example, such a detail, when Hu Bayi took the fat man, Yanzi and others out of the fantasy , and after they walked out of the maze, but when they pushed away next time, what was waiting for them was still a theater, and what was waiting for them was still the same Scenes.
Of course there is also the suspicion of cost saving here, but what I want to say is that the director saves the cost very well here.
One link is another, a maze is a maze.
Every time Hu Bayi felt that he could take everyone out of the maze, the director suddenly slapped Hu Bayi again.
, especially such a scene, can be said to have a deep memory for me.
That's when Hu Bayi felt that he had memorized the position and distance of Shengmen, and asked Fatty, Yanzi and others to follow him out.
Suddenly Hu Bayi turned his head and found that Fatty and the three of them were missing. When Hu Bayi turned back in time to look for it, he suddenly saw Fatty following another Hu Bayi.
The two Hu Bayi looked at each other, no one knew who was real and who was fake.
But at this time, when the fake Hu Bayi suddenly burst out and was about to chop the fat man, the design of this rhythm was really touching.
To tell the truth, this is still a "Ghost Blowing Lamp", obviously there is a feeling of "true and false Wukong" in " Journey to the West ".
3, scary last minute!
Of course, this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Yellow Leather Grave" is not without its shortcomings, or in the plot design.
Don't worry about tomb robbing. Although the atmosphere of the whole movie has always been terrifying, at the last moment, it explained to the audience in a way of "going closer to science", that is, there are no ghosts and superstitions in this play.
is completely human beings, and all the plots are illusions that Hu Bayi saw.
However, if we only understand the movie to this level, only see the movie to this level.
is really superficial, because the real breaking point of this movie, the real climax of this movie, was at the last minute, after Hu Bayi took Fatty and Swallow out of the underground palace.
Everyone felt that this movie Hu Bayi and Fatty cleaned up Lao Zhao and brought the little sister out of the underground palace, and it was over.
But all this is just a fantasy.
Because Hu Bayi heard a song sung by Fatty and Yanzi at the end, it happened to be sung by the "people" on the stage, but Hu Bayi knew that after going to the underground palace, whether Fatty or Yanzi, they All stunned by psychedelic drugs.
In other words, it is impossible for them to have heard this song at all, let alone know what is being sung behind this song.
So this is also the reason why Hu Bayi's eyes tightened in the end, because at this time, he suddenly discovered that he was still in a fantasy, and he was still in the way of that little girl.
So why does this movie end in this way of " Inception ", I think it is normal, after all, the little girl in the underground palace has lived alone in the underground palace for more than ten years, no Maybe just because of what Hu Bayi and Fatty said, they really changed their minds.
And that little girl's psychedelic skills are really advanced, from when she knew how to pretend to be a fat man to fool Hu Bayi into the coffin, to when she used magic to trick Lao Zhao into madness.
In fact, it can be seen that this little girl has an unusual scheming, and this can really explain why this little girl has lived in the underground palace by herself for so many years, because she looks like a girl, but in fact she The mind has fully matured, and it has even surpassed that of ordinary people.
Therefore, I am willing to give a high score of 8 points for "Ghost Blowing Lamp: Yellow Leather Grave", especially after I understand the last minute breaking point, I am more willing to give this movie a good rating . After all,
is a big network, and it is really unusual to have the strengths of "Terror Cruise" and "Inception" at the same time!
