"The wind blows upside down on the night, and the grass is wet." It is a poem in the movie "XuanYe Fox Shadow", and it is also the "introduction" of the male and female protagonists in the film, Yang Yuwei and Hu Chain, who met and met. Among them, Yang Yuwei is an upright scholar, while Hu Chain is a fox demon hidden in the mountains and forests, and "Xuanye Fox Shadow" is a proper cross-border love between mortals and fox demons. Therefore, looking at the title of this film, it not only has a strong relationship with this poem, but also accurately summarizes the core of the story of this film.
"XuanYe Fox Shadow" is adapted from the "chain" article in Pu Songling's "Liaozhai Zhiyi". Once in the 1980s and 1990s, we witnessed the era of the great development of the ghost fox fairy god work "Liaozhai Zhiyi", countless movies and television series were filmed and broadcast, but in recent years, it is only "Painted Skin", "Ghost of Qiannu" and a few other films, so the emergence of "XuanYe Fox Shadow" is indeed worth our shouting "long gone", and once again seeing a cute fox demon - chain, I can't help but want to say "lucky meeting".
The original novel of "Chain" has many similarities with "Nie Xiaoqian", and the two women with the spirit of rebellion are lone ghosts. After all, the materials are all from "Liaozhai Zhiyi", so there are still some similarities between "XuanYe Fox Shadow" and "Qiannu Ghost", such as when Yang Yuwei compares Ning Caichen, Hu Chain compares Nie Xiaoqian, Wang Niandi compares Yan Chixia, the Sect Master compares with Grandma, etc., such a structure ensures the integrity and excitement of the whole story.
In the movie "XuanYe Fox Shadow", based on the setting of the story, the identity of the chain is a fox demon, and the plot has a lot of adjustments and richness compared to the original work, including the passage of the human world and the demon world, the entanglement of the fox demon and the snake demon, the decisive battle between the ghost catcher and the spider god, etc., which not only adds a lot of special effects scenes and action scenes to this film, but also enriches the structure and level of the story, and sublimates the theme to a certain extent. Thriller and other multi-element commercial works.
Regarding the cross-border love between people and demons, as early as the song "Talking about Chatting", it was revealed that "the cow ghost snake god is more cute than the righteous gentleman", not all demons are harmful spirits, and the same is true in "XuanYe Fox Shadow", although the snake demon charms sentient beings, sucks people's blood, and takes people's lives, but the fox demon is an upright person, and the two "humanized animals" have fought several times in the film, not only the fierce fight between the same kind, but also the life and death contest between good and evil. Ghost Catcher Wang Niandi represents the righteous force from the legal world, and although her attitude towards killing any demon and ghost is worthy of praise, it may also hurt the innocent, and her relationship with the fox demon chain is a rather suspenseful tangled part of the film.
Although "Dark Night Fox Shadow" is not a big investment, it does use good steel on the blade, there are many special effects shots in the whole film, the actors' makeup is also unique, and the scene is quite in line with the atmosphere of the story. The film is starred by Hua Kun and Yuan Jing, who have both high acting skills and good looks, and must praise the heroine Yuan Jing, who has the appearance of men's and women's clothes in the film, men's clothes look quite like Ye Tong in "New White", and women's clothes are like Chen Huishan of "Genesis", which looks quite comfortable and eye-catching.
At the same time, the film also invited Ge Tian and Wang Siyi, two actors familiar to the audience, to play the positive and negative bosses of the ultimate battle, respectively, and the fight really has the momentum of "heaven can cook and cook". In particular, there is also the actor Mink Cicada who plays Ge Tian and Ban Guilian, who is known as the female version of Wang Baoqiang, who has dedicated a lot of laughs to the film, and also added a relaxed atmosphere to this overall suspenseful and thriller work.
This is a rather immersive work, sitting in the movie hall, people's thoughts have already flown into the screen, with the characters in the film to cross the adventure together, although the world in "Dark Night Fox Shadow" is full of dangers, but it is also good and evil, love and hatred, let people yearn, it is like a black dream that makes people addicted and powerless to break free, allowing us to fall into it and feel the thrill and excitement that comes to us. The story of "Xuan Ye Fox Shadow" mostly takes place at night, so the requirements for projection equipment are also quite high, at least in the theater, you can see as much as possible image restoration, but if you miss the release, go back to the TV, computer or even mobile phone, it is difficult to see the whole picture, so watch the movie quickly.
