On the first day of the new year, I really couldn’t hold it back, so I sprayed Wang Jing’s "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Nine Yang Magic Power"
Today I am going to like a small web drama.
Last weekend, I watched " The Origin of Journey to the West ". It was not bad, at least it was better than the one mentioned above.
After Westward Journey became popular, countless people consumed it, claiming to be the most authentic. There are also original screenwriters, directors, and even actors. For example, this one:
and this one:
I won’t talk about the above two, they can’t be more terrible. I said before that Wang Jing didn’t know what to think, and now I have to say that and Liu Zhenwei didn’t know what to think either, hey!
The slightly better ones are and Xingye . However, this one has basically nothing to do with the most classic Westward Journey. I guess it just uses a classic theme song!
As for the little web drama I’m going to talk about this time, there was no hope at all at the beginning. If it weren’t for seeing Ng Mang-tat , I probably wouldn’t have even watched it. Everyone says that they owe Uncle Xing movie tickets, but I have never heard of anyone who owes uncle Datong movie tickets. The movie tickets owed to Uncle Xing can still be repaid, but Uncle Datong basically has no chance, so I clicked in...
There is a section of the film that deliberately plays on the relationship between father and son, but the scene that made me cry the most in the entire film was actually this scene:
Let’s talk about the movie itself:
Plot
Overall, the plot has some surprises and some surprises.
It is said at the beginning of the video that Supreme Treasure likes to dream, and always dreams that he is Sun Wukong , and there are some fixed lines. Logically speaking, he should be Sun Wukong, but he hasn't changed yet. Later, he should suddenly become Sun Wukong.
But in fact, the Supreme Treasure is not Sun Wukong at all (personal understanding), and he has no great ability. His dream is just a daydream. I think from this point of view, it even surpasses the most classic Westward Journey. In the classics, everyone says that the Supreme Treasure is the Sun Wukong. Only the Supreme Treasure himself does not admit it and is not willing to be the Sun Wukong. The movie also says that it is because the person who gave him three moles could not be found. However, the audience basically already knows that he must be Sun Wukong.
But in Origin, the Supreme Treasure is not Sun Wukong in the end! He is just a noodle seller, a small person, and an ordinary person! That’s all.
Zixia 's dream lover, the person (or monkey) who has his feet on colorful auspicious clouds , is he either the Monkey King or a noodle seller?
Just like what is said in the movie, the Monkey King is just a name, and anyone can be the Monkey King. Be creative!
does not follow the routine, this must be praised!
In addition, in terms of the overall plot, there is still some truth, although some are leftovers from Journey to the West, such as "Either love you or save you" and the like.
In terms of the details of the plot, some are handled quite well, which is somewhat unexpected.
It’s funny. For example, here, after rendering for a long time, a seemingly powerful opponent was kicked back!
There are also many plots that pay tribute to classics. For example, we will meet here three generations later.
can be said to echo the two plots of Westward Journey:
One is when Zixia enters the body of the Supreme Treasure. Look at the coconut part, which is when the Supreme Treasure is touched by "Pu Ni Lao Mu".
There is also a section at the end of the film, the section above the city wall, with a monkey or a dog watching below.
I prefer the latter part of the film, because this is a happy ending...
At the end of the film, it also pays tribute to the classic role of Zixia, as well as the bell on her hand, and a scene, without giving The figure is from the front, but it feels like it is connected to the back. Although there are other Westward Journey games imitating the Zhu Yin rattle, I think this one is the best at it, just click to the end without ruining the classic! Like again!
actors
or roles, divided into two parts:
First of all, the blessings of old actors such as Uncle Da added a lot to the film.
For example, Yuan Renxiang, I was afraid that he would suddenly take out a Tathagata Palm:
There is also a Jiu Kong with a Taiwanese accent, I thought it was Ren Xianqi is here:
And the aunt Zhang Mei'e , I haven't danced in the square well in the past few years. Dance and get a little fatter.
Second, there are no popular stars, and the male and female protagonists are newcomers who cannot be named.
But these two roles are pretty good, especially the heroine, I like it better, much better than Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao, Zhao Min and so on. Although she still tries to imitate Zhu Yin a little bit. But I saw shadows of the other two people in her.
The female protagonist, Ma Xinrui , born in 1993, 29 years old this year:
One is Yang Lijing:
The other is Zhou Haimei:
And the male protagonist Well, it is actually a combination of two people:
male protagonist, Wu Haochen , 94 Born in 2018, 28 years old:
One is Huang Xuan:
One is Zhao Wenzhuo :
Yang Lijing + Zhou Haimei, and Huang Xuan + Zhao Wenzhuo, interesting!
Let me end with a sentence in the video that seems to make sense:
Dependent origination is empty, when conditions converge, birth occurs, when conditions separate, destruction occurs, all actions are impermanent and change with circumstances, attachment is suffering, letting go is happiness,
The above are all personal opinions. !
