Public complaints about the bad plot

Because of the rumors, I did not watch the new Yang Jian for the first time. After watching it, I can summarize that this animated series has great ambitions, re-deconstructing the list of gods, and transforming the traditional opposition between good and evil, and the deep love between mother and child into All things are endless (traditional Chinese values), and individuals should not be sacrificed for selfish desires (modern Western values). In this version of becoming a god, the reason why Yang Jian cultivated Tao power to split peach mountains was because the gods needed to release the black bird, attract the heroes of the world to compete, and gain greater power in the fairy world through war and violence. After being conferred as a god, the gods no longer needed Xuanniao, so they arranged for Yang Jian's sister Yang Chan to guard the seal until she died. The representative of the old gods, Wan Luo (the goddess of Wushan, the daughter of the ancient god Emperor Yan), who failed to gain any benefit from the list of gods, and the representative of the new gods, Shen Gongbao, who was dissatisfied with the status quo, planned to lure Yang Chan's son Chenxiang to split the mountain to save his mother and release Xuanniao. Classic mythology route, in order to gain maximum benefits in the next war of gods.

The whole story is well written, deconstructing the various causes and consequences of the myth, using a modern perspective to analyze the motivations and rationality of the characters, and adapting the contradictions and unreasonable aspects quite well. In addition, the screenwriter used a reincarnation of 1500 years to open up a brain hole, and used the rise and fall of history ( The Battle of Makino dc1046--The Rebellion of the Eight Kings led to the Five Chaos China Era-The Turbulence of the Late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China) The era of separatist rule) brought out the rationality of the existence of the core element of the Conferred Gods List. In the easter egg, the appearance of Brother Monkey who benefited from the second Conferred Gods List in fighting against the Buddha also echoed this setting. The very imaginative adaptation made me feel that this so-called The new god list is quite promising.

Several ideas opened in the new god list this time are very interesting, such as boarding Lishan , Wanluo counting down on the beacon tower Nuwa patching up the sky , Beacon Fire Drama of Princes , Burning of Epang Palace, Concubine Taking a Bath, Xi'an Incident (the last few are just my imagination) all have the most glorious female images in Chinese history, but they have all been painted in a negative light by history, which makes me feel full. Heavy. The Hunyuan Qi needed by Feitian is a monopoly in the heaven, and it requires money, favors, and time to obtain. The Hunyuan Qi is provided by the Black Bird, which means that the Black Bird is the sandworm in the Dune World. The birth of the Black Bird will also spread to the human world. The political metaphor in creating a large number of heroes from a large amount of Hunyuan Qi and then unveiling the list of gods is quite deep.

The collective praise for the good special effects

is well deserved. Modeling, body movements, micro-expressions and are all done without any problems. The three main scenes of Yingzhou, Penglai, and Fanghu are very interesting. Yingzhou refers to the Crescent Moon Spring in Dunhuang, and the wooden buildings of the Han Dynasty are equipped with towering attics. The shape has great visual impact. Penglai refers to the future metropolis, with row upon row of strange buildings and airships traveling among them, fully displaying the charm of mechanical punk . The scene in Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain has a strong sense of Chinese beauty. Huge boulders hang on the top of the mountain, and an ancient tree stands at the end of the cliff. The lush branches and leaves seem to have been pruned, presenting a magnificent spectacle of a crane lying on the sea of ​​clouds. The fairy spirit is floating. The only sigh I saw was this.

Of course, the most worthy of praise are the two sections of the Luo Shen Fu Feitian Wu and the Tai Chi Diagram. The Feitian Wu section uses "as graceful as a wandering dragon and graceful as a startling giant". The most appropriate description is that it fully shows the beauty of Dunhuang Feitian culture and goes directly to the video.The first thing I felt in this section of Tai Chi Tu was the "two-way foil" thrown by the "singer" to us. When we stepped on the end of the stone bridge, the picture appeared twisted, broken, wrapped, two-dimensional, and several The picture is completed in one go, which is a rare visual spectacle in the past two years. Netflix's director can invite the light-chasing team to study how to present the various visual effects in "The Three-Body Problem"!

Regarding the re-deconstruction of characters

First of all, it must be a modern adaptation of the protagonist Yang Jian, retaining the appearance of the handsome young man with a pink face and no need, and deepening and strengthening the calm and capable part of his character. Get rid of the part that insists on showing off your skills. Fengshen's handsome appearance is pleasing to the eye and is in line with modern people's aesthetics. The part where he pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger is accompanied by his free and uninhibited appearance, which wildly stimulates the high points of young people. But he is neither reckless nor radical. When faced with problems, he is not busy making decisions. He thinks carefully and does not act sloppily after making a decision. For example, there is no sensational part in the final battle. When you ask about the situation, you do what you have to do and end it with one blow. Whether it is free and easy or cold, it is cool from beginning to end.

The second protagonist, Chen Xiang, is relatively decent, with a Yang Guo-type personality, but he doesn’t do much good.

I really like this version of the adaptation of the character Shen Gongbao. There are several scenes where he is drunk, and the image of the drunken sword fairy on both sides of the melancholy comes to life on the page. It is like an evil fairy with frustrated desires and ambitions in the system that overflows the screen, lying drunk next to the white tiger. , controls the affairs of the world, appears with a purple beard in anger, and draws his sword to fight against the sky. In the few scenes where he appeared, wc's sighs came out unconsciously. Such a sinister character who has been evil for thousands of years is so charming. The screenwriter and artist are very skilled. I really like it!

Evil God Shen Gongbao

Finally, there is the character Wanluo (Wushan Goddess), the representative of the old god's forces, a necessary character that leads to the entire story line, but the foreshadowing in the early stage was huge, and in the end, it turned into a sideshow. The trash role of a cheerleader seems to be quite a failure. The three of them climbed onto the city wall of Lishan Mountain and dropped a few thoughtful and informative lines, which are very rich in history. Then they killed Shen Gongbao inexplicably, and then became cheerleaders inexplicably. It was a waste of time. Well, in my opinion, the silence of Shen Gongbao can still be barely understood, getting rid of competitors in the new era of gods, but what happened at the end? Bu Yin Yishou Yang Jian, the righteous god, doesn't fit the character curve at all, I don't understand.
