According to research, the score of " Shushan Chuan " was only 6.3 points in 2017, and the scores have gradually risen in recent years.
but 6.9 points are still a relatively low score.
This movie was released in 2001, with more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars invested and filmed + production for a total of 3 years. As a result, the Xu Laoqian , which was highly anticipated by everyone, continued to fall apart (he had already fallen a lot before).
The final Hong Kong box office was 11.7 million, and the mainland box office was 20 million, which added up to half of the cost (fortunately, the copyright of this film was sold to North America and earned 100 million).
This movie received one-sided negative reviews. Keywords: is a mess and I don’t know what it is.
But now, people keep mentioning "The Legend of Shushan" again, praising it as the pinnacle of fairy-tale movies. The Sixth Princess also commented on this movie in the screening room many times and gave a lot of praise.
Is it because the audience in the last session that didn’t recognize the goods?
style is avant-garde, and it is difficult for the audience to accept that
2000 was a period when police and gangster films and gangster films dominate, and they can all be classified as modern themes.
Tsui Hark 's movie belongs to the fantasy of fairy tales and is extremely rare and is very much anticipated.
But because the style is too avant-garde, people ignore the exquisiteness of the special effects.
in the film Louis Koo wearing a strange helmet and carrying cool metal wings:
Two Louis Koo are competing with whose meat grinder is great
Youquan old monster looks very Cthulhu:
Eastern tradition + Western myth + postmodern technology, which makes people feel that time and space are misaligned, and it is unclear.
plot is empty, and the acting skills are insufficient
Tsui Hark has a feature of making movies: technology is often too big than the plot.
He is almost always going to be obsessed with the pursuit of technology.
Chinese film directors like pioneering technology, and spend a lot of money to use the top-level equipment and the most dangerous shooting methods to present gorgeous special effects and fights.
Therefore, most of his works are visually stunning and have perfect composition, but the plot is not very scrutinized.
Chinese movies must be hired to be responsible for the atmosphere group, and then cooperate with a director with a great storytelling. The combination of two swords will surely be a masterpiece.
"The Legend of Shushan" is full of superstars. Chapter Ziyi and Wu Jing are just guest supporting roles. The main actors are: Sammo Hung , Louis Koo, Ekin Cheng , Tan Yaowen , Cecilia Cheung ...
All the actors did not perform particularly well, and there were not many opportunities to show them.
style avant-garde and thin plot have persuaded many people to be abandoned, so the audience was not ignorant back then. The thin plot of alone is enough to lower the reputation. How thin is the plot of
?
"The Legend of Shushan" constructs a fantasy and ethereal world of gods, demons and immortals. The villain boss is named "Youquan Blood Demon". He looks like a moldy octopus monster, but he makes a tender childish voice.
and a finger-sized boss named "Red Cirrus". She and Youquan are in the same group.
The first half of the Youquan attacked Kunlun Mountain . After Gu Yue, the top leader of Kunlun Mountain, drove away his disciple Xuantian Sect, he stood on the top of the mountain with bare hands and waited for death (it was inexplicable if he didn't even resist).
Then "I cracked":
fragments were collected and reshaped by the old Taoist Baimei, and became his The owner of the Tianjian of the Emei Sect .
In the past 200 years, Xuantian Sect and Emei Mountain disciple Danchenzi have joined forces to fight the enemy, thus forging a deep friendship.
After many fierce battles, Youquan was able to enter the Blood Spot to retreat. This is its real purpose. Use the Blood Spot to absorb the powerful self of the soul.
On the other side, the only Tianlei Sword that can compete with Youquan failed to combine. The owner of the Thunder Sword was burned to ashes, and the owner of the Sky Sword was still alive.
The old Taoist Baimei didn't see well, so he passed the position of the leader to the Xuantian Sect in Kunlun Mountain, and then ascended directly...
In his words, it was to go to another space to find a magic weapon.
Dan Chenzi guarded the door of the blood cave every day. When he encountered a petite red corpse as small as a finger, his loving mother was overflowing with her heart. She completely forgot the master's teachings and was taken over by her.
A loyal and good man suddenly became a vicious man who massacred the Emei Sect.
Xuantian Sect chose to inherit the Lei Sword, hoping to combine the two swords with the remaining heir of Tianfen (Gu Yue's second life), but failed again, and he was burned to coke...
and the heir of Lei Yan Sword did not end well.
Tianlei Swords were combined for the third time, and Cecilia Cheung and Wu Jing finally succeeded in the match.
At this time, the old Taoist Baimei happened to have obtained the artifact (cosmic power) in another space, and the spiritual power and rebirth power of Xuantian Sect came into a three-element integration.
Tianlei Double Sword + Three Yuans in one can defeat the Blood Demon and the Red Crazy.
As for Louis Koo, who has been taken away by the red corpse and his body by Youquan?
Of course, " is brother, come and chop me! "
The most common sentence in the film is "Haoran righteousness, the world will last forever". This sentence is about human nature and is suitable for writing, but everything you see is a big scene and special effect, which does not really reflect this.
According to the plot above, to produce rich plots, the duration of a movie cannot be achieved at all. What's more, the large number of fighting scenes and special effects scenes have compressed the plot space to a very small amount.
Before the actor could do anything to move forward, the picture changed. Then there is a gorgeous special effects scene.
says this is a Tsui Hark's show-off work, which is more suitable.
Why are people now praising "The Legend of Shushan"
The voice of praise for "The Legend of Shushan" has begun in recent years. Netizens' praise for it is a typical sentence: thought it was the beginning of a fairy tale film, but unexpectedly it was the peak.
Looking at the film and television dramas over the past 20 years, it is indeed a rare opponent in the creation of the atmosphere of fairy tales. Even the special effects of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which is known as the peak of the fairy drama, cannot match "The Legend of Shushan".
Tsui Hark's advanced technology in infusion of movies is admirable. The " holographic projection " in the sky in the old Taoist Baimei has already led the concept in "Avatar", and the scene of Wan Jian returning to the sect is also very shocking.
If you talk about the special effects of this drama, there are many remarkable things, but it is just relative to the technology from more than 20 years ago.
looks very rough now.
Chinese movies have made great progress in special effects technology over the years, but... the technology is good, but the aesthetics have not improved much.
's gorgeous special effects not only do not reflect the majestic fairy atmosphere, but instead reveal the feeling of cheap plastic everywhere. The color matching, lens and actions are all plain and light. Some obvious bugs are really outrageous.
View the cultivators in "The Legend of Shushan" again. If you can fly, you will never walk with your legs. If you can fly quickly, you will never delay.
Immortal cultivators flew into a sword river
Their flying posture is chic and domineering:
The weapon moves are also smooth and the various magic effects are dazzling:
The mirror is beautiful:
Composition attentively:
This is the appearance of a fairy tale in people's minds, mainly highlighting a "momentum".
The Gu Yue played by Cecilia Cheung draws on the shape of the flying dancer in the Mogao Grottoes mural. The color scheme is rich but the fairy spirit is swaying, and it cannot be desecrated, and it is also "momentum".
Today's fantasy fairy tale works, characters fly like pulling kites, and fall like weight hitting the ground;
all fairies have light-colored long skirts, long hair fluttering, and the same.
is much weaker in momentum. What should I compare with "The Legend of Shushan"?
Not to mention those fighting spirits that turned into horses, Wu Jing couldn't even hold back his four-kilometer sword.
It’s no wonder some netizens think there is no immortal hero after "The Legend of Shushan".
Douban 6.9 points are wronged or not
Objectively speaking, the special effects atmosphere of "The Legend of Shushan" can be scored above 9 points, and the plot should be less than 3 points. There are only a few scenes with good acting skills:
1. Louis Koo put petal wings on the flower demon transformed from the red corpse. After seeing her flying, she showed a gratifying smile;
Later, the red corpse was crushed by the demon's hole and the lower body was covered with blood and blood. He held it in the palm of his hand and eyes with tears in his eyes, showing his compassion. This is one of the few portrayals of human nature in the film.
2. Wu Jing wanted to throw away the broken sword, but was chased by the broken sword. At this time, his expression was innocent and a little funny, and he looked completely unconscious.
Apart from that, everyone is pretending to be cool, especially Ekin Cheng.
As for Zhang Ziyi, her acting skills are not a problem, but there is no promotion to the plot. I have no idea what the purpose of arranging her for a few minutes is. He went up the mountain to become a disciple for no reason, and separated from Tan Yaowen for no reason.
And the North American version of the poster actually puts her in the middle, which is probably a business behavior.
Therefore, in terms of actors, they can only score about 3 points.
All factors combined, 6.9 points is a reasonable range. If you add some feelings, 7 points are the most suitable.
boils down to one sentence: artistic atmosphere can be regarded as a god, and the plot only supports .
