No one cares about the corner, during the May Day period, the movie "Fengshen List: Decisive Battle of Ten Thousand Immortals" was launched on the video platform.
I can't count, this is the first time that the big IP of the "Fengshen List" has been taken out by the production team to fry cold rice?
The eternal theme of the gods, the occasional creative plot line, and the back and forth of the few well-known characters who are always talked about: The Erlang god Yang Jian, Nezha, Shen Gongbao, Jiang Ziya and so on.
Speaking of this so-called "ingenious and unique" "Fengshen List: Decisive Battle of Ten Thousand Immortals", starring non-traffic actors Zhang Zhilu, Li Qinfam and others, as an oriental mythological hero movie, it claims to be based on the theme of "Fengshen List", boldly innovating, adapting itself, and creating a new style of the Oriental version of "Avengers".
But with all due respect, after watching an entire movie, my mind was spinning: That's it? That's it?? That's it???
The story line of the whole movie is taken from the chapter in "Fengshen Yanyi", the Tongtian Sect Lord defeated the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, but the screenwriter made a drastic adaptation of the original work.
To put it bluntly, it is to refer to the Marvel system, and it is to create a "strongest alliance organization in history", where all the gods and immortals show their magic and carry out fierce battles, and completely move towards a mythical hero movie that is not mythical, non-special effects, and does not become a demon.
In the play, in order to satisfy their personal selfish desires, the Master of the Tongtian Sect and Shen Gongbao tried to work together to open the Ten Thousand Immortals Array to destroy the mortal world, in order to save the world, Xiqi Jiang Ziya, like the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., took the lead in gathering six immortals, Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, Tu Xingsun, Deng Chanyu, and Huang Tianhua, to form the "Avengers Alliance" in Xiqi to oppose the persecution of the Master of the Tongtian Sect and save the entire Immortal Realm.
The funniest thing is that the peak of the decisive battle of this "Immortal Avengers" has not yet begun, and one of the members, Huang Tianhua, has taken the lead offline, and the speed of death is jaw-dropping.
Then the plot will go to the "brilliant special effects" of the wild bombardment, with sparks of fancy fighting, the two forces you sing and I appear, take turns to fight.
Originally according to the original direction, this part of the plot focused on the Wu Wang cutting, highlighting the content of "cutting the road", but this random adaptation, the original epic reform significance is gone, some are just self-passionate immersion, Hollywood-style heroic narrative can not extricate themselves, see the audience is Zhang'er monk confused.
In my opinion, this movie does not want a logical plot line, it wants a Marvel-style pure blood pure fight, and when the boss is passed, the movie will be over.
From the quality of the whole movie, it is really not a heartfelt adaptation of the ancient mythological universe, with too much emphasis on battle special effects and self-innovation of the plot, resulting in the loss of basic respect for the classic original context.
Even the length of the showdown is not very exciting.
The "magnificent" war scenes with fifty cent special effects are not only funny and imposing dramas, which can be seen that the director wants to take the American heroic style and wants to take care of the humor of playing with the terrier, but unfortunately, the sudden comedy bridge is not only full of embarrassment, but also makes the overall struggle painting style full of harmony.
There is also a problem, don't look at the Tongtian Sect Lord is a big villain, but people's combat effectiveness is not a joke.
As a groundbreaking Ancient Great Immortal, one of the Six Saints of the Heavens, one of the Three Qings, and other figures of the Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal with many titles, in the original work, it was still Yuan Shi Tianzun who pulled up the Zhun Ti and introduced the two great saints to win the battle, how did he get to this movie, can he be defeated by Yang Jian and a few three generations of disciples in Nezha District?
Even if you know that this is the halo drama of the protagonist's victory, you have to spit a sentence, this story is inevitably too TM ridiculous!
In general, it is the screenwriter who finds a reason, skips the main line of the original work, and directly makes the positive and negative sides fight, the purpose is only to make the whole special effects fight more logical, so that the victory of the protagonist alliance is more pleasant and comfortable. The overall narrative is simple and rude, no logic, anyway, play enough 90 minutes.
To be reasonable, in today's era of script quality is withering away, it is not that I do not understand the mind of film and television dramas to stir up new heat with big IP. Just fried cold rice also has to pay attention to the logical plot, right? At the very least, this kind of film and television adaptation must respect the original work.
After all, it is called a classic thing, its original "world view and values" has been recognized and supported, you scribble on the pearl jade, design some useless and disorderly innovations, try to ask the audience who are accustomed to seeing the essence, who will pay for the crap?
Please ask all the adaptations to go a little bit, don't use the mentality of running with one vote to do the movie, otherwise the box office will definitely be doomed.
