On the first day of the Chinese New Year, when many movies in theaters were in full swing, a fierce battle for the online Spring Festival was quietly launched. "The Diary of Fortune" starring
Song Xiaobao, Sha Yi , Ma Li , Wang Baoqiang , Ni Dahong , Wu Mengda , Liu Haoran , all appeared on the Internet on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Putting aside the quality of the main film, we can still feel that both movies are full of energy from the cast to the story theme alone.
In addition to these two popular movies, there is also a new online film "Qinglong Yanyue Sword", which also attracted a lot of attention, because this film tells the story of Guan Yunchang, and the old actor who plays Guan Yunchang is Lu Shuming .
994 CCTV version " Romance of the Three Kingdoms ", in which Guan Yun, played by Lu Shuming, is green-clad and powerful without anger. Even if 27 years have passed, he is still the most recognized image of Guan Gong in the film and television drama.
After all, after so many years, I have seen the Honor Edition, Donnie Yen Edition, Bassen Edition, Dillon Edition, Han Geng Edition, and Chaotic Edition. Most people still think that the Lu Shuming Edition Guan Yunchang is the most authentic.
Even the figures sold on Taobao are modeled with Lu Shuming's image. His face is the same as Zuo Dayu's "Guanyin face", and it is equated with Guan Gong's image.
Therefore, although this is an online movie, Lu Shuming, who is now 65 years old, still gave him a wave of presence.
,
without any guilt, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four classical classics, is the only novel that Pi Ge has read twice so far. Among them, the classic stories cannot be memorized and understood as well.
movie selects clips from the late stage of Guan Yunchang's military career to cut into it.
The story begins in the 24th year of Jian'an, "Guan Yunchang defeated Maicheng "--
Guan Yunchang (played by Lu Shuming) led the Shu army to attack Wei, but was attacked by the Wu army in the east, and captured Jingzhou .
Guan Yunchang faced the front and back attacks of the Wei army and Wu army and suffered heavy losses. He had no choice but to retreat, so he could only lead more than 300 people in the remnants to defend Maicheng. But the food and grass in the city were empty, and 20,000 Wu troops surrounded the city again, and it was time to fight to the death.
Shu Army We see the familiar Guan Yunchang, the Zhou Cang (played by Liu Weizhou) and the Guan Ping (played by Zhou Hang), but what Pige "never expected" was that he actually saw Guan Xing (played by Guan Zhibin).
According to the original arrangement, Guan Xing should be in Hanzhong at this time to . The movie arranged for him, and this scene was quite sufficient!
Wu Jun's side is Pan Zhang ( Jinsong ) as the leader, and deputy general Lu Mao (played by Ma Ruihan).
In history, Pan Zhang's subordinate Sima Ma Zhong captured Guan Yunchang and Guan Ping, but the character Ma Zhong did not appear in the movie, but was replaced by Lu Xun 's younger brother Lu Mao.
In real history, Lu Mao was originally a civil servant , but in the movie he gave him the attributes of military generals, and he was also very capable of fighting.
Less than 3 minutes into the opening, Guan Yunchang's 300 cavalry fought with 20,000 Wu Jun. The process is very tragic. Although the special effects are a bit flawed, you can still see the level of the blockbuster.
Finally, we saw in exaggeration that Guan Yunchang and Guan Ping and his son piled up the killed Wu army soldiers into a small hill, and the two were eventually shot to death by Wu army arrows.
Guan Yunchang, played by Lu Shuming, died heroically at this time, and it only took 10 minutes from appearance to death.
Pi Ge suddenly realized when he saw this. It turned out that Lu Shuming came out this time to make a wave of soy sauce, but he clearly occupies the C position in the three character posters he published online. The film company's slutty operation is quite a bit like selling dog meat.
A netizen left a message on Douban saying that this movie will be enough to read the first 10 minutes.
But Pi Ge has always had a beginning and an end in his work. With a responsible attitude, he should still keep watching it seriously. The story behind
focuses on the character Guan Xing. In the original work, Liu Bei raised troops to attack Wu, fought with Lu Xun in Yiling, and Guan Xing killed Pan Zhang in this battle and took back his father's Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
directly ignored Lu Xun and asked Pan Zhang to guard Yiling, giving Guan Xing enough scenes to form a sneak attack team.
There are 4 people in this team. In addition to Guan Xing, there are Zhou Cang, Zhang Fei son Zhang Bao (played by Meneldeni), and a fictional female general Fan Ling (played by Jiang Lai) who is purely to ensure the balance between men and women.
The specific process will not be discussed in detail. The protagonist team is always stupid and always makes mistakes, but relying on the protagonist's halo, you can always get rid of danger and laugh to the end of the plot.
Guan Xing and the four of them wanted to sneak in secret and cooperated with the Shu army led by Huang Zhong (played by Peng Chengqi), but their IQ was basically not online, and they caused many accidents, which also damaged Zhou Cang.
Fortunately, Pan Zhang and Lu Mao’s IQ are not high. They have already captured Guan Xing, but they still have to spare his life, as if they have special feelings for him.
Finally, both sides encountered it in the secret passage in Yiling City. After a war, Guan Xing killed Pan Zhang and avenged his father, and Zhang Bao also killed Lu Mao. The army led by Huang Zhong also captured the city and achieved the final victory.
.
The ending is different from the description in the original work and is very different from the historical facts. The Battle of Yiling was the last battle of the "three major battles" during the Three Kingdoms period. After more than half a year of stalemate, Lu Xun and Liu Bei finally defeated the Shu army in the Yiling area.
Liu Bei retreated to Yong'an, and later he entrusted his orphanage to Zhuge Liang in Baidi City, and was 63 years old when he died of illness.
Many characters were deleted directly in the movie, without Lu Meng , Lu Xun, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei just appeared and whipped soy sauce.
Although Zhang Bao is one of the main characters, his father Zhang Fei did not appear. Due to the limited length of the film, he could not explain too many characters and stories, so he could only delete them drastically.
According to historians, Guan Yunchang was between 58 and 60 years old when he died, which is similar to Lu Shuming's current age.
Therefore, some netizens lamented that Lu Shuming played Guan Yunchang again 27 years later, and he was still energetic. Time left a mark on his face, but he failed to take away the domineering aura he had.
Unfortunately, Lu Shuming's appearance time was very short. After the 10-minute scene, the rest was only in some memories, which disappointed the audience who liked him and went to watch his performance. The psychological gap in
will definitely affect the reputation of the movie, but the main creator has a reason to do this.
First, although Lu Shuming's appeal is there, he has few works in recent years, and it is not reliable to make him "take the lead" starring. On the contrary, Hong Kong movie star Kwan has more development potential;
Second, Lu Shuming is old and it is somewhat difficult to star in a movie with a lot of action scenes. He can come out to sell his feelings, even if he completes the task.

bug
movie costume props are very exquisitely made, and there are no strange costumes like "Flying Saucer Hat", but there are still many obvious bugs.
For example, the Shu army should actually write the word "Han" on the banner, rather than "Shu", which is a common flaw.
The flag that appeared in the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also had the word "Shu". According to the later interview with the main creator of the TV series, it was said that it was indeed the flag with the word "Han" written at that time, but later considering that the audience's ability to accept was limited, they might have questions about the word "Han" on the flag, so they had to change it.
Note: The second picture below is a screenshot after CCTV's modification
But now it is 2021, and most viewers who have come into contact with the Three Kingdoms stories understand this matter. It is unreasonable to be so careless in the movie. Gunpowder also appeared in
, which is also obvious time travel.
The invention of gunpowder and was used in military affairs was in the late Tang Dynasty, much later than the Three Kingdoms period.
In addition to these shortcomings, Pige thinks that movies still have many advantages.
One of the actors' performances are very attentive, especially the former BOY'Z member Guan Zhibin, although he is 41 years old this year, he still does not look old and seriously creates a handsome image of Guan Xing.
The second is that there are many unintentional long shots in the movie, and their arrangement and mirroring are very particular, which shows that the director still has ideas. Moreover, there is a panning fight scene that obviously pays tribute to "Old Boy" directed by Park Chan-wook .
The third is to grasp the scale of the movie. Pige thinks that as an online movie, its scale is still quite open.
not only shows the scene of corpses piled up, but also the bloody and violent elements of the fighting scenes are also quite good, and there are even close-ups of the throat cut, which surprised Brother Pi a little.
Overall, "Qinglong Yanyue Sword" is a work that goes a little higher. If you came to watch Lu Shuming, you will definitely be dissatisfied with the direction of its story; but if you happen to be a BOY'Z fan and also came to watch Guan Zhibin's performance, the film should be your favorite.
Compared with this movie, Pi Ge still prefers CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After all, it is a classic work that has been created by countless people and is also the most completed one of the four masterpieces. As for "The Green Dragon and the Celestial Moon Sword", it is just a look at the 65-year-old Lu Shuming's still-like anger.
