The Korean movie "Tian Yuzhi" is a fantasy action film directed by Choi Dong-hoon and starring Kang Dong-won, Kim Yoon-seok, Lin So-jing and others, since it is a fantasy action film, the film must be full of fantasy elements.
In addition to special effects fantasy, it is plot fantasy, which is different from the characteristics of domestic fantasy films that only pursue special effects and do not pay attention to plot fantasy.
A Taoist priest named Tian Yuzhi (Jiang Dongyuan) enters the palace and teases the emperor and his courtiers, but makes the imperial palace full of Manchu Wenwu helpless. He wanted to get the spiritual "Wanbo Flute", and the "Wanbo Flute" had a very magical effect, and after it was played, the gods and immortals would have a headache in their heads and would be surrendered instantly. At that time, some youkai also wanted to get the "Wanbo Flute", and they did not hesitate to endanger the human world. Tian Yuzhi's master, Master Tianguan (Bai Yunshi), wants to find the "Wanbo Flute", and the mysterious Taoist painting world (Jin Yunshi) also wants to find the "Wanbo Flute" and convinces some immortals to seal the monster with him. However, Tian Yuzhi, the apprentice of master tianguan, used Daoist techniques to make the palace uneasy, which caused a lot of public opinion. The painting world must find the Heavenly Crown Master Xingshi to ask for guilt, and at the same time, it is necessary to get the "Wanbo Flute".
The youkai get the "Wanbo Flute", but are defeated by Tian Yuzhi. Tian Yuzhi got the "Wanbo Flute", and the painting world also wanted it. When they arrived at the Tianguan Master, the two people quarreled, and the "Wanbo Flute" was divided into two, the Tianguan Master took half of it, and the painting circle took half. On the one hand, the painting circles did not give up, on the one hand, they persuaded the immortals to let the immortals hold the painting and seal Tian Yuzhi and his dog in the painting, one letter is 500 years; on the other hand, to grab half of the "Wanbo Flute" in the hands of the Heavenly Crown Master. As a result, the painting circle killed the Heavenly Crown Master, and did not obtain the half of the "Wanbo Flute".
After 500 years, the monster has become a modern person and continues to endanger the human world. The immortals had no choice but to release Tian Yuzhi and his dog from the painting and let him defeat the youkai. But the painting world has also come to modern times, not only killing people, but also killing Tian Yuzhi and snatching half of the "Wanbo Flute" from him.
After a fight, Tian Yuzhi finally defeated the painting world and sealed him in the painting, and the "Wanbo Flute" also lost its effect.
The film spans 500 years, and the various Taoist techniques in it are very fantastic, and later Tian Yuzhi uses spells to summon wind and rain, the art of earth escape, as well as the possession of demons and immortals attached to the human flesh, the sealing of the painting world, the Taoist art of puppy transformation, the Taoist technique of dominating others, and so on. Tian Yuzhi's puppy and Ban Xiaoyi (Liu Haizhen) and him complement each other, not only adding fantasy elements, but also jointly promoting the development of the plot. There is also a young widow who Tian Yuzhi can never let go, who transformed into Xu Renjing after 500 years, although she was dominated by the magic of the painting world, but killed the painting world at the most critical moment, which is an unexpected plot. Of course, there is Also Tian Yuzhi from the Joseon Dynasty was sealed for 500 years, to the modern era, suddenly did not adapt, but after adaptation, but lingering. In modern times, taoism is used, of course, it will be more enjoyable, more fantastic.
The film uses computer synthesis stunts, those monsters are the embodiment of rats, rabbits, and cows in the zodiac, the heads are the heads of these animals, and the body becomes the image of a general wearing armor, and has a strong destructive power. But Tian Yuzhi and the painting world can subdue such a monster, and when they are dueling, they are more attractive, and various Daoist techniques emerge in an endless stream. Tian Yuzhi wants to use spells to show Daoism, and the painting world does not need spells, just use Daoist techniques at will. The two people's Daoist skills can be seen at a glance, but in the end, Tian Yuzhi, who represents justice, defeats the painting world representing evil, or Xu Renjing kills and injures the painting world, so that he is obediently sealed.
The fantasy plot of the film plus the special effects are more outstanding, which will be much higher than the domestic fantasy films. Perhaps, domestic movies do not have such a plot to create, will only pay attention to special effects, and that special effects are not very good...
