Wu Mengda's posthumous work "Journey to the West" has been released on the Internet, from the title of the film, I think it is another bad film that rubs the heat, but after watching it, I feel that it is a very careful work, many scenes in the film have evoked the audience's good memories, and there are also many bridge sections that pay tribute to Xingye, and the biggest highlight of the film is the Zixia Fairy, followed by Wu Mengda's unique farewell in the film!
Briefly talk about the story content of the film, the story takes place five hundred years before the QiTian Dasheng Tiangong, Qingxia Immortal and Zixia Immortal are the wicks in front of the Buddha's seat, the two people share a Yuan God, but Zixia has become the one who must burn up herself, but Zixia does not recognize her fate, to change her fate against the sky, Zixia came to Tianji Pavilion to steal the moonlight treasure box, and to find her lamplighter can change her fate, Zixia is looking for the lamplighter is the Qitian Great Saint Sun Wukong who is making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace after 500 years, However, in this lifetime, the Qi Tian Dasheng is nothing more than a mortal supreme treasure selling noodles.
Zixia used the Moonlight Treasure Box to find the Supreme Treasure, and at this time, the Supreme Treasure was dreaming of Qi Tiandasheng all day long, and also dreamed that he had stepped on the Colorful Xiangyun and married the Zixia Fairy, but he was a mortal with no divine power and could not pull out Zixia's sword. The father of the supreme treasure is the uncle played by Wu Mengda, the uncle is not the father of the supreme treasure, the supreme treasure is the child that uncle picked up and adopted, the supreme treasure in order to help the dream lover Zixia fairy, resolutely bid farewell to the father, followed the purple xia to find the lamplighter! The specific content is no longer too much spoiler, in short, the Supreme Treasure loves Zixia deeply, and the two of them have experienced three tribulations together!
Although it is a prequel to "Journey to the West", the overall story content is still not out of the framework of "Journey to the West", and the emotional relationship between the characters is still like "Journey to the West", Zixia and Qingxia are still good sisters who fight and kill.
Without destroying the classic story, and creating a classic character, this is the highlight of the film, this character is the Purple Xia Fairy! Why is the character of the Purple Xia Fairy the highlight? The Purple Xia Fairy in the film is played by Ma Xinrui, at first I saw the Purple Xia Fairy played by Ma Xinrui is not very amazing, because with the classic image of Zhu Yin, few people can surpass Zhu Yin, such as Tang Yan and Ni Ni have played the Purple Xia Fairy after Zhu Yin, but they are all playing Zhu Yin, not in the Purple Xia Fairy, or to imitate The Purple Xia Fairy of Zhu Yin, so acting, may make the audience feel that the performance is very good, but in the end it can only be acted like Zhu Yin!
Look at ma Xinrui's Purple Xia Fairy, although Ma Xinrui's appearance is not as good as Zhu Yin, nor as good as Ni Ni and others, but Ma Xinrui performed her own Purple Xia Fairy, she is not to imitate Zhu Yin, but directly to play the Purple Xia Fairy in her mind, in addition to the costume props have not changed, it is difficult to find Ma Xinrui's imitation of Zhu Yin's shadow, it is another Purple Xia Fairy. The Zixia Fairy played by Ma Xinrui is more playful and cute, brutal and willful and lively, seeing the end of the film, you have forgotten Zhu Yin's Zixia Fairy!
In addition to the more successful Zixia fairy played by Ma Xinrui, Wu Mengda's role in the film really played a role in the finishing touch, seeing Uncle Da appear, instantly tearful, this is Uncle Da's legacy, it is estimated that many people also opened this film for this reason to watch. In the film, there is a bridge section where Uncle Da agrees to the departure of Supreme Treasure, Uncle Da and Supreme Treasure say that "if you say you want to leave, there is no need to go so fast", this sentence is more like a farewell between Uncle Da and the audience, because Wu Mengda left in a hurry!
In addition, the film also proves that Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West" is really too classic, when the classic song of "Love of a Lifetime" sounds, when the Tulou appears in the film again, countless good memories echo in the mind!
