After watching more movies, you should be able to find such a phenomenon - bloody, violent, sexy and other shots are now becoming less and less, or will be processed by some technical means, otherwise it will not pass the trial.
When importing film and television dramas from abroad, various deletions will be made, and it is difficult to see the full version.
However, an online movie "Tang Gate: Beauty Rivers and Lakes" was recently released, which made Dahao see that the operating space of censorship norms is actually a little bigger.
There are many beautiful women starring in the film, and there are many well-known actresses such as Clara and Tong Fei.
But the plot, characters, etc. can be described as perfunctory, in the words of netizens, "The biggest selling point is that women take a bath!" ”
From the perspective of the plot of the movie, it is not excessive for netizens to leave this kind of evaluation.
Numerous scenes of actresses taking a bath have appeared many times, and if it is useless to advance the plot, then the purpose is self-evident - eyeballs.
For example, the male protagonist came to the Tang Gate to steal the Yin and Yang Eye, and the female protagonist was making a conflict with Tang Shuang, the hall master of the Instrument Hall, and others in Simingfang.
After that, the male protagonist happened to pass through a bathroom, and many women were taking a bath.
From the plot point of view, who will these people take a bath?
If it's just a small soldier of the Tang Gate, then being lazy and not working in the broad daylight is too insane.
If it is a high-level Tang Gate, it is also impossible to say that it is impossible not to hold a meeting with the head at this time.
The movie gives the bathing woman a lot of shots, which can be said to be able to pull the scale of playback to the maximum, and the director's purpose of using this as a gimmick can hardly be more obvious.
Generally speaking, online movies are not long, and sometimes it is inevitable to set up some more "fragrant" lenses, but they are basically shallow.
For example, the previously complained about the large version of the net "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", "The Legend of the East Sea Mermaid", the ace swordsman, etc.
"Tang Gate: Beauty Rivers and Lakes" has brought "fragrant beauty" to the extreme.
In various plots, the actress's clothes are deliberately revealing, there are many places before and after the bathing scene, and there are even episodes where the clothes are ripped off.
This movie almost wrote the word "selling meat" on the face.
If the plot of the movie and the actors' acting skills are not bad, it is not impossible to expand in terms of sexiness.
But after watching the movie, I will only be disgusted by the weak plot, and even the characters are portrayed inconsistently.
The story of "Tang Gate: Beauty Rivers and Lakes" is actually very simple -
The Tang Gate used the Dongtian Yi to obtain information about the wicked in advance, and in line with the idea of "killing one person and saving a thousand", he killed the wicked before he did evil to protect the peace of the world.
But the name of Tang Wuyan, the head of the Tang Gate, appeared on the Dongtian Tablet, and after some tossing, Tang Wuyan returned to the Tang Gate, broke the prophecy, and regained his destiny.
It is not difficult to see from the introduction that the plot of the movie has a very unpleasant internal setting - the wicked person kills him before he does evil, so how to prove his guilt?
And the other so-called "wicked people" have been killed, the matter has come to his head, Tang Wuyan has to control his own fate, and this double standard is also nobody.
The script of the online movie is a lot worse, but there are really not many people who dig holes for themselves from the story framework.
What's even more speechless is that the problems of the film already arise in the opening narration.
The narrator gives a brief introduction to the background of the story -
Flying stars outside the sky, the stars are as red as blood, and the flying stars fall to the ground and trigger mountain fires that last for several days. The Tang Gate found this foreign object, and since the existence of this object, it can check the good and evil of people, and the Tang Gate will blame the wicked and protect the peace of the world. The world only knows that the Tang Gate has an insight into the heavenly machine, called the Dongtianyi, but does not know that the Dongtianyi takes the flying star as the core, and the Tang Gate calls it the Yin and Yang Eye.
The problem with this introduction is not in the content, but in the female voice that reads the narration.
Many movies, especially mythological and story movies, like to set up such a narration, the benefits are not detailed, but the voice of the narration is generally full of breath, without personal feelings.
The female voice in "Tang Gate: Beauty Rivers and Lakes" not only substitutes personal emotions, but even has a very clear ventilation voice.
Generally speaking, a person's work habits are relatively stable, and the director set such an unintentional beginning in front, which basically hints at what the overall quality of the film is.
Sure enough, the plot did not disappoint everyone, in addition to all kinds of embarrassments, there were also all kinds of inexplicable.
In most movies, no matter how twisted the plot is, the two roles of the protagonist and the villain are very clear.
"Tang Gate: Beauty Rivers and Lakes" seems to have lost his mind, and he didn't tell a story well, but he wanted to entangle multiple story lines.
As explained earlier, the three female assassins sent by the Tang Gate were all killed by Tang Ruyi, the former hall master of the Dark Hall, and originally thought that the next conflict between the Tang Gate and Tang Ruyi would follow.
Unexpectedly, the heroine Tang Wuyan was soon seized by Tang Shuang and Tang Shi of the Hall of Instruments and driven out of the Tang Gate.
So now that the two villains have come out, the heroine should find an opportunity to fight back, right?
Tang Wuyan found Tang Fei, the hall master who had saved her since she was a child, but found that the other party was not on her side.
Seeing that the silly white sweet heroines betrayed, it seemed that there was no possibility of turning over, and then the movie came to a commotion.
The former Dark Hall Master Tang Ruyi mentioned earlier is actually a good person, she does not believe in the ruling of Yin Yang Eye, and believes that fate should be in her own hands.
So she saved many "extremely evil people" who should have been assassinated, and then three or two sentences countered Tang Wuyan and launched a counterattack against Tang Men.
On Tang Shuang's side, there was also a reversal.
She was confused by Yin Yang Eye and was extremely insistent on the ruling she made, and finally even wanted Tang Wuyan to kill herself to prove that Yin Yang Eye's judgment was not wrong.
Her logic is like this - Yin Yang Eye said that Tang Wuyan may be a great evil person in the future, but now she has not killed innocents, and if she dies in the hands of Tang Wuyan, she will be convicted of Tang Wuyan's crime.
So the question is, why did Tang Shuang feel that he was innocent when he was responsible for assassinating the unevil person who was judged to be evil?
And Tang Wuyan is coming back for revenge, is there anything wrong with killing her?
This inexplicable plot is also reflected in the emotional line of the male and female protagonists.
After the female protagonist was driven out by the Tang Gate, she met the male protagonist and the male protagonist's master Xiaomi Lai.
In normal logic, if you want to cultivate the feelings of the male and female protagonists, you will provide them with a lot of contact plots, after all, only contact with each other will there be contact.
Here comes another tumultuous operation of the movie.
The male protagonist and the master intend to steal the female protagonist's master token, but it is the master who is responsible for doing it.
At the beginning, the male protagonist pulled the rope to hang the master in mid-air, wanting to raid the sleeping female protagonist, but the rope was not firmly grasped, and the master almost kissed the female protagonist.
What kind of brain circuit will the director set up such a plot, and the male protagonist who needs to cultivate feelings next to him does not need to use a scruffy old man?
The analogy isn't over yet.
Entering the city, the master began to pursue the heroine fiercely, all kinds of earthy love words came with his mouth, and here you will even suspect that maybe the master is the real male protagonist.
The front focused on portraying the master went, and the only ones left in the back that really promoted the relationship between the male and female protagonists were two chat plots, one in the green building and one in the broken temple.
Then the two suddenly fell in love with each other, or the kind that is inseparable from life and death.
I think the director should have some misunderstanding about love.
Too little portrayal of the male and female protagonists in the front, resulting in the male protagonist being stabbed by the female protagonist in the back, the memories are only the plot of the previous chat between the two, which is not touching, not sensational, only embarrassing.
In the plot of the movie, six female characters are emphasized, Tang Wuyan, Tang Shuang, Tang Shi, Tang Ruyi, Tang Fei and the dark pile of the Caixiang at the beginning.
More than 80 minutes of plot, want to portray so many female characters, I don't know if the director has honey confidence in his own ability, or with private goods, in short, the effect is that there are many characters, and each character is very strange.
Here we mainly talk about Tang Wuyan, Tang Ruyi, and Tang Fei.
In the plot setting, Tang Wuyan's parents were judged to be evil and killed by Tang Shuang.
Later, Tang Fei took in Tang Wuyan and brought her to the Tang Gate.
After Tang Wuyan grew up, he was taught the profound martial art "No Heart Decision" by the head at the time, and also passed on the position of head to her.
But for many years, Tang Wuyan has been worried about the death of his parents, and he has been arrogant and arrogant towards the doorman, and he has achieved nothing as the head of the family.
It can be said that Tang Wuyan is a typical incompetent but high-ranking character, and her existence is completely a disaster of the Tang Gate.
Why the throne was passed to her before, there was no explanation in the play, because it was unclear and could not withstand scrutiny.
So, is there any problem with Tang Shuang, who has extremely strong business ability, taking away the position of the leader from the incompetent Tang Wuyan?
For the people of the Tang Gate, this is a lucky thing.
Compared with the silly and sweet heroine throughout the whole process, Tang Ruyi is more like forcibly whitewashing.
Later, it was emphasized that she thought that there was a problem with the yin and yang eyes, and the judgment she made may not be true, so she saved many "evil people" in private.
It seems to whitewash her here, but combined with other behaviors, this person's personality is completely untenable.
The beginning of the movie tells us that Tang Ruyi killed three Tang Gate assassins and sent his head to the Tang Gate, and this provocation and ferocity cannot be washed at all.
Before the war with Tang Shuang, Tang Ruyi killed Tang Shuang's junior sister Tang Shi with a sword, which did not seem like something that a good person could do at all.
So here's the question -
If Tang Ruyi is a good person, why did he save the "extremely evil person", but he was so cruel to the people of the Tang Gate?
If she is a bad person, why take the heroine to turn over and wash her white?
The strangest thing is that after a big war, Tang Ruyi and Tang Shuang shook hands and made peace, as if the Tang Shi and Tang Gate who died in front did not exist.
This kind of character setting can only be described as strange.
Clara has recently starred in many online movies, most of which appear in vase-like roles, and there are not many related scenes.
But in "Tang Gate: Beauty Rivers and Lakes", Tang Fei, played by her, really fought with the heroine.
Of course, the special effects are the mainstay, the kind that poses pose.
However, the role of Tang Fei is also a strange character.
She saved Tang Wuyan, who was orphaned, in her early years, but finally died in the hands of Tang Wuyan.
According to Tang Wuyan, Tang Fei had no killing intent on her and left his hand everywhere, which led to this ending.
But this is also the question - does Tang Fei want to kill the heroine?
If you want to kill, you should not say those parting words before you finally die, and you should not leave your hands when fighting for life and death.
If you don't want to kill, you don't have to pretend to fight to the death, because no one forced her to do this, and in the end, she gave her life in vain, which is meaningless.
Even if you want to whitewash her with loyalty to the Tang Gate, it doesn't make sense.
Later, it was explained that Tang Fei and Tang Ruyi had cooperation with Yin Yang Eye, and if they were loyal, they should directly start a war with Tang Ruyi.
"Tang Gate: Beauty Rivers and Lakes" can be described as the best among bad films in terms of plot and characters, but the box office has reached 5.24 million in 8 days of release.
In Douban, the praise for this drama is basically about the actress's appearance and figure.
This result hints at a very serious problem, if the producer looks good at the box office, it is bound to continue to circle money with this routine.
This time it is 6 beautiful women who attract attention, and next time it is 12, 18 or more, anyway, the plot and characters are not important, which eventually leads to bad money driving out good money.
If a movie with a good plot and good acting skills loses to a bad film that attracts people's attention, it has to be said that it is a sadness.
