The highly anticipated but controversial "Yunnan Worm Valley" came to an end, and the end was indeed like the end of "Longling Labyrinth", and the preview of the next "Ghost Blowing Lights" web drama "Kunlun Shrine" appeared.
Netizens are somewhat welcomed by the "Kunlun Shrine" web drama, and some are of course not optimistic. Of course, the reason is also very simple, naturally it is the controversy brought about by the just-concluded "Yunnan Bug Valley".
I personally understand it very well, after all, last year's "Longling Labyrinth" is really good, and the original fans and fans have high expectations for "Yunnan Worm Valley", and everyone hopes that "Yunnan Worm Valley" can go to a higher level. The hope of the small target is in the chaotic film and television version of "Ghost Blowing Lights", this version has become the role of the needle of the sea god, and the big target is to sweep away the chaotic domestic tomb robbery adventure dramas in the market.
At that time, whenever book fans and drama fans talk about domestic tomb robbery adventure films and television, they can pat their chests and say: Hey, we have Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights", how about other tomb robbery adventure dramas-
The result is that it backfired, the much-anticipated "Yunnan Worm Valley" did not progress, but regressed to the level of "Nuqing Xiangxi", can you not disappoint the fans of the original and the fans of the drama? So, what should we think of Pan Yueming's version of the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series of web dramas?
I personally feel that in the current domestic film and television market environment, under the domestic cultural IP copyright adaptation environment, Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" has a stable cast, stable copyright, and a relatively balanced scale trade-off, which may be a helpless choice, it is indeed the best.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" which version of Ghost Blowing Lights is the best >? Do you stand "Dragon Hunt" or "Jingjie Ancient City"</h1>
The reputation of "Yunnan Bug Valley" has been exaggerated and degraded by the audience, and there are naturally many reasons for the audience to praise, the original cast of people and horses returning, the real and excellent special effects of the field shooting, and then try to restore the content of the original work, at least compared with other versions, it is already very restored.
Of course, this shortcoming is also obvious, the biggest problem is in the plot adaptation, this is said to be rotten, the newly joined Yunnan village Ofsalongzhai villagers are the top priority, some of the original content is not filmed, as well as the emotional drama of Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang, and then the trio mouth is too poor is also a problem and so on.
At this time, let's discuss the historical version, which version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" do you think is the best?
This evaluation of a film and television drama is nothing more than the level of production, the choice of actors, and then to the story plot and ideological core. The core of the story is usually a comprehensive performance of the first three aspects.
All the "Ghost Blowing Lights" film and television dramas in history are actually worth mentioning in three versions: Chen Kun's version of "Finding the Dragon Recipe", Jin Dong's version of the "Jingjie Ancient City" web drama, and this Pan Yueming version of the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series.
In addition to the "NetDa" version of the "NetDa" launched in the first half of this year, all other things, remember that all the "Ghost Blowing Lights" netda is basically a big bad movie. In the cinema movies, "Nine-Story Demon Tower" and "Yunnan Bug Valley" are also sparse, and the same "Yellow Skin Tomb" web drama directed by Fei Zhenxiang is not good, not to mention the "Makino Mystery".
If we compare these three versions with each other, you will find that the advantages and disadvantages of the three parties are obvious.
1. Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" is not as good as "Dragon Hunting Tips" as a whole, but it is better than "Exquisite Ancient City"
At present, the most undisputed advantage of this version is the level of production, except that some of the original content has been deleted and not restored, and then the restoration style is inconsistent with the imagination of some fans. The production level of "Yunnan Bug Valley" has reached a new high of the "Ghost Blowing Lights" web series, which is probably only inferior to the movie "Dragon Hunting".
The noonday sun's "Jingjie Ancient City" is well rated, even the best among many fans of the original.
But this version in terms of production level, I don't know if it is because the investment in the first version is not high, there is a biggest problem is that there are too many studio shots. Remember that studio shooting is not a problem, the problem is that the studio shooting, special effects and location framing are somewhat stylistically divided.
If you are interested, you can look back, if this version is a special effects scene, such as the nine-story demon building, the field shooting such as a lot of aerial photography, the art of this lens, filters and other aspects of the color is more intense, and there is more of the so-called "film texture". But switching to various close-up scenes has a strong sense of shed shooting, life scenes are more like period dramas, artificial snow in snow scenes does not exhale, desert scenes are not real enough and other issues.
As for the comparison with "Dragon Hunt", this overall level of course lost a lot.
Because the investment and duration of the film and the investment time of the web drama are really not the same, the diversity of the art of "Finding the Dragon" is definitely better, the special effects scene is more grand, the action design is more excellent, and before the emergence of "The Wandering Earth" and even the benchmark of domestic commercial special effects blockbusters in those years.
However, I personally feel that there is a place where Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" is better than "Dragon Hunting Tips".
It's not that it's almost all on-the-spot shooting, but on the makeup performance of the characters.
The director of "Finding the Dragon" is Ur Shan, who studied art and made advertising, his image style is heavy on art, the art direction is western oil painting style, the color performance is relatively strong, and this film does not adopt the dirty aesthetics of his debut "Sword Laugh".
This makes the whole movie of "Finding the Dragon" very colorful, the metropolis of New York, the grandeur of Inner Mongolia, the cold at the tomb gate, the green fire at the ghost door, and finally the big scene is weird, etc. The layering of the art is very rich, but the biggest problem is that the character makeup is too clean.
Chen Kun's protagonist Hu Bayi has a beard and is more of a "Wenqing" style rough guy, which has nothing to do with sloppiness. Except for the protagonist and even the supporting characters and then the Mongolian family, there is no special realism on the makeup.
Let's look at the local villagers of "Yunnan Worm Valley", the makeup of Ma Bold Brothers in "Longling Labyrinth", and the same is true of "Nuqing Xiangxi", even the "Yellow Pizi Tomb" with the worst reputation is better, and it is really very localized. In addition to this, the local folk culture is also more real and fully displayed.
This is something that neither "The Ancient City" nor "Dragon Quest" can match.
In short, the biggest advantage of Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" is the production level, although it is not as good as the movie "Finding the Dragon", but it is definitely a new benchmark for the "Ghost Blowing Lights" web drama, the top level of domestic web dramas, which is certainly worthy of recognition and praise, because the film and television industry is very important.
"Kunlun Shrine" does not mention other aspects, I believe that the field shooting and scene restoration still make many people look forward to it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="66" > Which version is the best for "Finding the Dragon", "The Ancient City" and Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights"? There is no answer to this</h1>
In addition to the production level, the rest is the character building and story plot, strictly speaking, this standard is of course based on the original, even from the original I personally feel that there is no clear answer, because the current three versions are each of the advantages and disadvantages, which is a part of the original book.
For example, from the point of view of the actors, the audience who likes each version alone can say why.
The film Chen Kun's version balances well between roughness and literature and art, but some fans of the original will feel that Chen Kun is too melancholy, and the melancholy is a little too literary. Is Jin Dong's version of the old cadre Hu Bayi good? The answer is that it is not necessarily true, because he is too old a cadre, a little too serious.
Finally, Pan Yueming's version of Hu Bayi, if the quality of "Yunnan Worm Valley" is good, perhaps Pan Yueming's version is not quite in line with the original work, but with the advantage that the actor does not change, I personally guess that the audience who recognizes his Hu Bayi will occupy the mainstream, but the reputation of "Yunnan Worm Valley" collapsed.
Now the audience hates Pan Yueming's version of the mouth is too poor, the body management is too poor, too fat, the spirit head is not good, and so on.
The heroine Shirley Yang is the same, "Dragon Hunting Tips" and "Exquisite Ancient City" are all played by actresses from Taiwan Province, to tell the truth Shu Qi, Chen Qiaoen is very similar to a large extent, the performance has a feeling of Taiwanese romance drama heroine, of course, in contrast, Shu Qi is more heroic and neat.
Zhang Yuqi is tall and sexy, the play is clean and neat, and the overall image is quite heroic. However, her voice is too special, coupled with her decent acting skills, many audiences always have a sense of drama. The most suitable appearance is the Lu Jingshan version of "Tianxingshu", but it remains to be seen how the film did not play.
Wang Fat Zi is so far no version that fits the original work, "Jingzhi Ancient City" Zhao Da version of the fat man is too thin not to say, in the marksmanship such as god and mixed world demon king attributes did not show it, Huang Bo version of the situation is similar, Li Dazui version of the most similar appearance, but the mouth is too poor, marksmanship and mixed world demon king attributes also did not show.
The most important thing is not only that the mouth is poor, but also the comedic performance of Wang Fatzi who drags his legs to the fullest, which is very bad for the audience. If you have to choose in the end, maybe Huang Bo's acting skills will be better.
Other supporting role lineups here will not be talked about, but also have their own advantages and disadvantages, if you have to choose the role that netizens are unanimously agreed on is probably Gao Weiguang's version of partridge whistle, the other two versions do not have Pan Yueming version of the partridge whistle is too highlighted, and handsome and can play, do not choose him can not.
As for the story plot, it can be compared between "Jingjie Ancient City" and Pan Yueming's version.
After all, "Finding the Dragon" is a newly compiled story that has nothing to do with the original book, although the characters are related but difficult to compare. And "Jingjie Ancient City" has received most praise, but I personally think that "Longling Labyrinth" is no different, "Yunnan Worm Valley" and "Nuqing Xiangxi" are the same.
"Yunnan Bug Valley" opens low and walks high, and "Nu Qing Xiangxi" opens high and walks low.
Jin Dong's version of "Jingjie Ancient City" in front of the rules and regulations most restore the original work, the last two episodes are actually broken. "Dragon Ridge Labyrinth" Ma Bold brothers are too stealing drama, there are several places are still too noisy, but the overall adaptation is more reasonable, and finally the tomb and the ending and other dramas are the most balanced in the domestic environment.
Of course, I believe that different audiences must have different understandings, and we welcome everyone's attention and discussion.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="92" > end</h1>
Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" advantages and disadvantages are obvious, perhaps many original fans will firmly choose "Jingjie Ancient City", there are also choose "Dragon Hunting Tips", but if you stand on the development of China's film and television industry and the development of Chinese cultural IP film and television, Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" has the biggest advantage that cannot be replaced.
That is the stability of the director team and the cast (this screenwriting lineup is unstable), one by one, and eventually a fixed impression of the series of film and television dramas will be formed in the audience. The original work of "Ghost Blowing Lights" is classic and has a great impact, and the largest number of ordinary viewers may not have seen it.
When the popular culture of "Ghost Blowing Lights" can still be circulated for 10 years, 20 years, the most impressive thing for future audiences to talk about "Ghost Blowing Lights" is the film and television drama version, just like Jin Yong drama. Unless there are several remakes like the Jin Yong drama, and there are better versions. Otherwise, in the eyes of ordinary audiences, "Ghost Blowing Lights" may really only be left with Pan Yueming's version of this film and television drama.
This can not be said to be the audience's last choice, this cast is stable indeed the current Chinese film and television industry, and then the biggest advantage of the cultural IP remake season, because the copyright chaos caused by the unstable cast, you will find that the current domestic season drama, Pan Yueming's version of the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series can be regarded as a thriving.
After all, you can't take the Country Love Story series out after all!
