On June 14, the domestic horror film "Folk Strange Talk: Water Monkey" was launched on the online platform
This year's domestic horror film reputation is not very good, basically the audience is not optimistic, this "folk strange talk" many viewers also thought it was a bad film, after watching the movie for the first time, found that the movie does have a lot of problems, but the movie has been reversed many times
The ending is intended to be pretty good in horror movies
In the big network movie with bad movies, I can only sigh: finally there is a horror movie that can be watched
But "Folk Strange Talk" is to be able to see the level, far from excellent enough, this article involves spoilers, the audience who has seen it can come to talk, and the audience who has not seen it can also understand whether it is their own dish
The start of the broadcast is the second place in the soaring list, why is "Folk Strange Talk" so fierce?
As of 16:00 on June 14th, "Folk Strange Talk" won the second best result in the soaring list in the first 4 hours of broadcasting, why is the performance so fierce? To a large extent, horror movies are very rare in theatrical films, but there are many fans of this genre movie
Therefore, every horror film launched on the Internet, the initial heat is good. But only really good works can get the heat to continue
"Folk Strange Talk" is only 71 minutes long, so the plot is actually very simple
During the Republic of China, Tianshui Village has passed down a story for generations, the water monkey, also known as the water ghost, is a ghost who drowned and died. If this creature wants to be reincarnated, it must first find a substitute, and every year the village chief asks the villagers to pay for the sacrifice ceremony
But now our male protagonist Bai Qiushui has returned
Bai Qiushui's father was killed by the water monkey, Bai Qiushui became an orphan, was sponsored by the high commissioner of the provincial city to study in college, and now comes back to prepare to run a school in the village, and the high commissioner also promised to give 100 silver dollars a year as a fund
This white autumn water went home to sit on a fishing boat, and as soon as he appeared on the scene, he encountered water monkeys
The water monkey was like a hairless monkey, with an abominable face and extremely frightening face. Three strokes and five divisions killed the three boatmen on the fishing boat, and Bai Qiushui failed to defeat the water monkeys by shooting, but it was difficult not to die and returned to Tianshui Village
However, the village chief, Mr. Qian, said that Bai Qiushui's shooting would anger the water monkeys, and the sacrifice ceremony was useless
However, when Bai Qiushui was able to bring back 100 silver dollars a year, the village chief and the villagers were in a better mood
I just didn't expect that the water monkeys were really getting more and more rampant, and even went ashore to harm people. Bai Qiushui is regarded as a scourge by the villagers, and Xueqing, the daughter of Mr. Qian, insists on using science to find out the truth about the water monkey
In fact, seeing this, many viewers can guess that there must be something wrong with the village chief Qian Laoye
It's just that the audience and I didn't expect that almost all the villains in the movie ending! The middle plot of "Folk Strange Talk" is not wonderful, it is nothing more than the thriller of some water monkeys appearing, but the end of the movie is really more reversed
The water monkey was indeed made by Lord Qian
It turned out that the Qian family had been the village chief of Tianshui Village for generations, and there was a pharmaceutical laboratory in the family, and the family had a secret recipe, using the secret method of transfiguration and bone change to turn people who were good at water into water monkeys, which were usually not high in combat effectiveness, but looked scary. But when it is necessary to create an atmosphere, the water monkey is allowed to take the medicine and become painless. Extremely violent
In addition to using water monkeys to deceive villagers of money, Mr. Qian often catches villagers to experiment, because water monkeys are extremely difficult to manufacture, and they must be physically different from ordinary people, and the water monkeys at the beginning are actually the fathers of the male protagonists, which is why the male protagonist can escape a disaster, although the water monkeys are violent, they also recognize their sons
However, the main villain of the movie is actually the follower of the inconspicuous Qian Laoye in front of him
"Bright Sword" cavalry company company Sun Desheng played the role of Jiang Shui, he knew the secret of Old Master Qian very early, in the face of the villagers who get along day and night, the class did not reveal the face of Old Master Qian, but at the most critical time, he used water monkeys to sneak up on Old Master Qian, wanting to replace Old Master Qian, the same in Tianshui Village as a blessing
In the ending, the male protagonist and the water monkey defeated the follower
But the water monkey sacrificed in order to save the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and the male protagonist also took the secret medicine and became violent and could not control himself
The villagers are saved and are no longer bullied by the water monkeys, but in the face of the saviors, they are punching and kicking, believing that the male protagonist has become a ghost, and the female protagonist can only promise to share all the money with the villagers in order to save the male protagonist. He took the male protagonist to live in the ancestral hall of the village and lived a difficult life
As time passed, the heavens and the earth changed color
The two children adopted by the male and female protagonists grew up and joined the People's Liberation Army. The male protagonist was also cured by the hospital, and the people of Tianshui Village also lived well
The male protagonist saw all this and knew that it was the old society that made people become ghosts, and the water monkey was greedy
"Folk Strange Talk" talks about science everywhere, but the plot is irrational everywhere
It can be seen that the plot of "Folk Strange Talk" is still full of ups and downs, but it sacrifices too much rationality for this ups and downs of the plot
The method of making water monkeys is completely impossible, except for magic, I really can't think of any secret recipe that can turn a big man of one meter and eight meters into a water monkey of one meter, and even the head has become smaller. "Folk Strange Talk" in order to use science to explain the existence of water monkeys, but this explanation is not convincing
There are also Qian families who have exploited villagers for generations, and it is better to put them in remote places
But in the film Near Tianshui Village, there is a railway station, two children can walk to it, the villagers are all made by Mr. Qian's family disciples, the wife and ion are scattered, why not run, stay in Tianshui Village and wait for death?
There are too many unreasonablenesses in "Folk Strange Talk", and the combat effectiveness of the water monkeys is also high and low, and in the end it has become a friendly army, which is really unexpected
"Eighteen-year-old Sky" became popular, and 36-year-old Li Zhinan came back to transform the shooting network
The male protagonist of "Folk Strange Talk" just felt very familiar when he first appeared, and when he took a closer look, he remembered the popular character Shi Yanfeng, who was very similar to "Eighteen-year-old Sky", and sure enough, he found that it was really Li Zhinan, who played Shi Yanfeng
2002's "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" is the childhood memories of many viewers, Shi Yanfeng is one of the most popular characters, and the actor Li Zhinan has also been extremely popular, but unfortunately, after "Eighteen-year-old Sky", Li Zhinan has no representative works, and gradually disappears from everyone
The 36-year-old Li Zhinan has very few works, and this time starring in "Folk Strange Talk" represents that Li Zhinan, like many stars, has begun to transform into a big shooting network
It may be that there are fewer opportunities to play the male protagonist, in the "Folk Strange Talk" Li Zhinan's acting skills are general, many emotional outbreaks of the scene Li Zhinan did not perform, or the acting method of idol dramas, in the net university also began to boutique now, Li Zhinan can not stand in the net university is difficult to say
