I don't know when it began, the trend of drama that changed traditional Chinese mythology began to prevail again, such as "The Demon Child of Nezha", "Journey to the West to Descend the Devil", "Jiang Ziya", etc., really one after another.
Also because of the trend of traditional mythology, but also attracted a lot of capital to smell the taste of money, have also spent a lot of money to enter, but the quality of collation is somewhat unsatisfactory, although there are constantly the same type of drama online, but there are few good works that can meet the taste of the public, but just at the end of the National Day file, a new mythological adaptation of the dark horse "Journey to the West Red Child" quietly launched, on the day of broadcasting, people did not expect that the ratings on the two platforms were surprisingly good, I actually got the first place of the day.
According to the data given by one of the platforms, the number of viewers of "Journey to the West Red Child" has reached nearly half a million times, the cumulative total number of plays has exceeded 13 million, and the sub-account has reached 830,000, which can be said to be the most ideal of similar films at present, and even achieved the first amazing result of the soaring list of movies on the day of broadcasting.
However, it is such a low-cost network university, and even only one protagonist "National Sister-in-law" Xu Dongdong is well known to everyone, how to achieve such results?
So today we will talk about this unexpected internet movie "Journey to the West Red Child".
The first film to analyze "Journey to the West" from other angles gives the public a unique look and feel
Basically all the "Journey to the West" adaptations are from the perspective of the four Tang monks and apprentices to illustrate the rugged and difficult roads of the entire Western Heavens, but this drama does the opposite
The overall background of the film is still "Journey to the West", the basic main line has not changed much, and there is also the basic plot of catching Tang monks and eating Tang monk meat.
However, "Journey to the West Red Child" has made an earth-shaking change in the character setting, turning the red child, the Iron Fan Princess and the Cow Devil King's family into the real protagonists, and the four Tang monks and apprentices have instead acted out as a foil
From the original yokai who did nothing evil to a good yokai loved by the people in this film, the red child is a child who grew up eating a hundred meals, very likable, the iron fan princess is a god who guards the people of thousands of families, and even the bull demon king has become a good father and a good husband.
As for why the red child will rob the Tang monks behind and eat the meat of the Tang monks, it is also because they are seduced by the bad little demons and want to give their mother a congratulatory gift, so they face Sun Wukong head-on.
It can be said that the whole film not only extends a new plot line, but also does not make people feel detached from the main line of "Journey to the West", it can be said that the unique angle of this film is indeed eye-catching and full of points of view.
The plot is moderately paced, not hurried, and the laughter in the film is continuous
Although it is a change, but the background is still "Journey to the West", the main line will certainly not change, so no matter which character, their rhythm is also very important,
Just like the style of the Tang monks in the previous "Journey to the West", it has played a full role in the rhythm and even laughter of the whole film
The identity of Tang Monk's speech is also vividly interpreted in this film, such as when Tang Monk took the red child to the cave house, the essence of the words came out at once, and immediately gave the red child and several little demons a vivid life lesson, if it were not for the sudden running in of a small demon, maybe Tang Monk could successfully escape directly by relying on his three-inch tongue
And just like the Tang monk in the genuine version, not only a sense of joy, but also a person with a full sense of justice, when the last red child is out of control and the people encounter danger, the Tang monk rushes to the front of the people without hesitation, blocking the monstrous flames for them.
Although the setting of the Tang monks in this film is basically continued on the basis of "Journey to the West", there is no sense of violation in this film, but it makes people feel just right.
Let's talk about the "national sister-in-law" Xu Dongdong, his role in the film is also unprecedented, she is just a mother who only wants to protect her son well, and even for her son, she would rather endure the separation of mother and son for hundreds of years and go to the town to guard the Flame Mountain.
And she is also a person who understands right and wrong, and in the end she even prefers to sacrifice her son and save the people, on this setting, it instantly makes people feel full of justice, but also makes people feel heartache from the heart, from beginning to end, she interprets the role of a mother to the fullest, completely different from the previous sexy and feminine.
The unexpectedly strong reversal of the abrupt ending shows the screenwriter's super strict sense of logic
This point of logical design is also the place where I admire this film the most, it is precisely because Sun Wukong destroyed the alchemy furnace that fell in love with Lao Jun, there was a samadhi true fire in the body of the red child, and it also indirectly led to the death of the wolf monster's family, all because of the super logical setting of the antecedent and consequence relationship
Even in the next wolf to seduce the red child and Sun Wukong to fight, and to the two of them under the trap, and then the red child out of control, Sun Wukong asked Guanyin Bodhisattva, when he learned that all this was because of the mistake he had committed, he instantly rushed into the sea of fire, saved the red child, it was Sun Wukong who planted this cause, and the last to solve this result was also Sun Wukong, the plot logic of all this, one link after another, tight and flawless, no sense of violation, but also made the plot more full.
And surprisingly, at the end of the whole film, there is a strong reversal
Sun Wukong saved the red child, Guanyin Bodhisattva took him as a boy with scattered wealth around him, and Tang Monk also asked the bodhisattva to save Sun Wukong at this time, but the bodhisattva said: All this is cause and effect! Nor did it explain whether Sun Wukong had come back and disappeared
Turning his head, he found that a strange Sun Wukong was already waiting for Tang Monk to go west together, but the clear-eyed people knew that something was wrong at a glance, which also showed that the real Sun Wukong may have died, and now Sun Wukong may have changed a person, is it a six-eared macaque? There is no explanation behind the movie, which may be the last bit of suspense left for us.
Well, this is just my personal opinion, but I personally feel that these three points have already made this film look good, the first hot list, it is deserved, what do you think is the point that this film is worth watching? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss!
