On February 11, Wu Mengda's posthumous work "Journey to the West: Origins" was finally launched, rushing to Uncle Da, without hesitation, he looked for it, and sure enough, the most heartfelt thing was Uncle Da's performance.
On the first day of launch, the box office revenue of "Journey to the West: Origins" was 1.41 million yuan, ranking second in the online movie box office ranking on the same day, losing to the new film "Old Nine Doors of Qingshan Begonia" in the same period, and also ranked second in the online movie network popularity list.
As a network movie, "Journey to the West: Origins" can be regarded as a sincere work, and it will not look awkward and worthy of the classic.
"Journey to the West: Origins" is better than Liu Zhenwei's "Journey to the West 3" and Huang Zitao's version of "Love You for 10,000 Years". Of course, don't expect too much, after all, "Journey to the West: Origins" is just a network movie.
Based on the adaptation of "The Moonlight Treasure Box of journey to the West", but the story plot is not unchanged, but tells new content, it can be seen that the screenwriter and director have their own ideas.
Supreme Treasure is played by Wu Haochen, who looks like Huang Xuan and Like Zhao Wenzhuo, not handsome enough, but the acting skills are still there, and Zixia is played by Ma Rui, although it is not comparable to Zhu Yin, but Ma Rui's version of Zixia is actually not bad, both charming and temperamental, and the acting skills are also solid.
Uncle Da's role in "Journey to the West: Origins" is not much, but his performance is the most impressive, Uncle Da starred as the "father" of supreme treasure, and the scene where he said goodbye to supreme treasure was the most heartfelt.
The emotional drama of the Supreme Treasure and Zixia is a big attraction, when the Zixia wick is about to burn out, an emotional scene is filmed movingly, Zixia was originally going to find Qi Tian Dasheng, let Qi Tian Dasheng pull out her sword, become her lamplighter, but met the Supreme Treasure, and the Supreme Treasure no matter how it tries, it is impossible to pull out the sword.
Zixia's words: "I have always wanted to turn you into the way I like, but I have long been inseparable from the way you are now." In fact, it is the realization that "the crowd looked for him a thousand hundred degrees, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the middle of the light."
At the end, the Supreme Treasure fights for Zixia to the last moment, and Zixia uses the Moonlight Treasure Box to prevent the two from knowing each other in order to save the Supreme Treasure, which detonates the emotional scene and shoots the deep feelings.
However, the slag special effect is a major failure of "Journey to the West: Origins", and there is also the fact that the story plot is somewhat chaotic, especially the plot involving crossing, the logic and rigor are not strong enough.
The section where the Supreme Treasure uses the Moonlight Treasure Box and the Su Mo Immortal Master to duel is filmed somewhat perfunctorily, and the whole process is not well explained, which seems that the plot is not smooth enough.
Polish the script of "Journey to the West: Origins" and make it more exquisite, and you can make a better film work.
The story integrity of "Journey to the West: Origins" is strong, the plot direction exceeds expectations, and it also leaves a new suspense in the process of plot advancement, on the whole, it is indeed a sincere network movie.
