" Canglan Jue " This TV series combines the advantages of Chinese comics and expensive special effects. The whole drama gives people the feeling that it is "expensive", but whether the effect is good or not has nothing to do with whether it is expensive or not. Each drama has its advantages and disadvantages. Since "The Canglan Jue" can surpass the similar drama "Agarwood Rusha" in the online broadcast index after it is launched, it must be unique. Let’s analyze it in detail below:
anime movie texture, excellent effect
In the first episode, the first statement of the previous story is used, and the texture of the whole paragraph is a bit similar to the style of "Jiang Ziya" and "The Devil's Boy Nezha", and the effect is quite good. The existence of this paragraph is mainly to supplement the plot, because this is a story before the plot begins. A good plot is never separated from contrast. The stronger the contrast, the more surprises the audience will be.
Then in the previous relationship, the protagonist is a villain, but a monster without any feelings. This is to suppress and then rise first, create a bad and evil image, and slowly rise in the later stage, so that the audience's psychological expectations will gradually be improved and thus satisfied. The audience's focus in the later stage will be on "finding advantages". As the plot advances, they will gradually increase their favorability for the characters in the East.
On the contrary, in the play, Changheng Immortal Lord is a decent character. At the beginning, the character's status is raised very high and a perfect and positive energy character. Then the audience's preconceived expectations for this character are very high. All performances in the later stage will be mainly "finding flaws". When all the characters' flaws of Changheng Immortal Lord are discovered, the audience will lose their original favorability for the character.
The makeup in the fairy world makes a bad temper, the costumes and makeup are not in place
Those who have watched "Agarwood and Fragrance" or "Ashes" and when they watch "The Legend of the Immortals", they really cannot appreciate the image of the great immortal in this drama.
First, let’s take a look at the so-called Heavenly God of War costumes of the second male lead. It is full of plastic texture. The transparent acrylic board is worn on the body. There is really no fairy spirit. The decorations on the head look like the shape of a "ox horn", which makes it look strong in demonic spirit, rather than blessing with fairy spirit. The outer hat was actually made of tulle, a light layer, which did not add any majesty to the character God of War, but instead increased the temperament of "Empress".
Let’s look at this outfit by Yun Zhongjun, the Lord of Heaven. If the color is a little dimmer, I really feel that it is very similar to Black Mountain Old Demon in "A Chinese Ghost Story", but there are differences in color. In addition, the character is relatively petty and cares about everything, so against the backdrop of the overall makeup, Yun Zhongjun's character seems a bit "hard to distinguish between male and female".
The other people's fairy world looks slightly better, but they don't feel amazing. They can only say that they perform normally, which is simpler than the two people's styles.
In fact, it is actually more difficult to reveal the "fairy spirit" from the way of submission and transformation. I think more needs are to subtraction rather than addition on ordinary clothing. If you want to create the feeling of being untainted by the mortal world, the first thing is that the color selection must be simple and elegant. The immortals have long been separated from the illusion of the mortal world. How could they like magnificent things?
So especially for Yun Zhongjun's character, it is very unreasonable to wear gold on his head. The whole character looks like he loves power and money, which is very vulgar. Fairy energy should be extracted more from natural elements, such as flowers, grass, clouds, sun, and moon to show the characteristics of a god.
Who do the little orchid love? Actually it's already destined!
This drama often appears in the barrage of this drama and the CP is sometimes knocked on, but in fact, if you look at the beginning carefully, the CP is destined.
At the beginning, it has been stated: Once the East is resurrected, the catastrophe of the Three Realms is said to be the only goddess of Xishan who can resolve this catastrophe.But the goddess of Xishan disappeared. When mentioning "Xishan Goddess", an orchid plant appeared in the picture, with a hand below it. Although it cannot be directly deduced that the Xishan Goddess is an orchid plant, at least the two must be related.
So, although the heroine Xiao Lanhua ( Yu Shuxin decoration) is a low-level fairy in this life, her previous life is a goddess. The encounter between Dongfang and Little Orchid is destined to be a mutual redemption. Little Orchid goes from a carefree little fairy to discovering her shocking identity later, and takes on the responsibility of saving the people of the world.
And Dongfang Qingcang is the number one devil in this play, and he and Xiao Lanhua use emotions as the bond, and finally achieve a peaceful coexistence between good and evil.
Although in the play, the second male lead Changheng Xianjun and the heroine Xiao Lanhua who silently paid have many rival scenes, fate has been destined from the beginning. They are just passers-by. The existence of Xiao Lanhua must be to redeemed the East and thus to save the Three Realms.
special effects are full, but there is a lack of real scenes
I think there is a gap between the shooting of "The Legend of the Condor Hell" and "Agarwood Soup". For example, many fighting scenes in "Agarwood" are shot from Xinjiang, with the yellow sand all over the sky and the sunset behind them all real. So it is better for the actor to put them in a real scene than to put them in a void green screen.
I don’t deny that the special effects of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are made very much, and it must have consumed a lot of money. But in fact, such effects cannot give the audience a more sense of integration. Instead, they feel that the existence of the heaven is very empty, and these backgrounds are light and not the texture of real existence. In fact, fairy tale films should be produced by the "combination of reality and reality", with real scenes and special effects, and the two should be integrated.
Naturally, we can use special effects to make a beautiful vision like "Siming Hall".
However, doors, windows and trees like this can be displayed in real scenes, and all are virtual, giving people the feeling that all the flowers and plants in this garden are fake and not full of vitality.
And if special effects are used instead of too many real scenes, we find that all the scenes are actually very small and have limitations. For example, two people meet in the woods, but when you go around, there are only a few trees, instead of changing the scenery one by one, changing different scenery. My personal view is that scenery that is easy to find like the woods does not require special effects or landscape creation. It can be more flexible by directly using the natural background.
The later plot is moving towards
Since the theme of this story is "redemption", we must solve the problem from the root. Why did Dongfang Qingcang become an emotionally unsatisfied murderous devil? That's because his emotions and desires were forcibly broken by his father, and since then, the sea of his heart has become a deserted snow.
The later plot must be the little orchid trying to recover this wasteland, so that the trees in the snow will rejuvenate new branches, so that the Yuezun Dongfang Qingcang will restore his emotions. At the same time, according to legend, only ruthless and loveless people can master karma fire, and karma fire is the most powerful skill in the world. Therefore, once Dongfang Qingcang recovers his emotions, his control over karma fire will gradually disappear, and from then on, it will be difficult for him to be invincible in the world.
Then if Dongfang Qingcang wants to conquer the heavens in the later stage, he will have more factors to consider, because there is no possibility of winning, so the possibility of choosing to give in has increased. Therefore, the powers of the Heavenly Realm and the Moon Realm can stabilize in the later period, which is definitely because the energy of the two sides is similar, and no one has an overwhelming advantage.
It can be seen from this that the appearance of the little orchid is to balance the forces of the two sides, rather than simply weakening the energy of the moon realm. Only by balance can one be harmonious. This is the truth of history.
Finally, I think the overall expression of "Cranlan Jue" is actually relatively young. Many comedy and straight balls of speech are particularly popular among young people in contemporary times. From the development of fairy tale dramas, we mainly promote "forbearance" to "directness". In fact, we have also seen changes in the times. In order to reduce communication costs, we are advocating a more direct communication model, rather than the type you guess I guess.
Through Xianxia, we have seen more young people's love for oriental aesthetics and traditional culture. "Canglan Jue" has also brought us some innovations and some unexpected surprises in the original routine background of Xianxia drama.
