On October 17, a movie called "Eight Precepts of the Brilliant Spring Pig" was launched on the iQiyi Online Movie Channel. The film starred Xu Zili, Yang Qiru and other young actors, and Hao Shaowen, Tao Hong, Weng Hong, Li Liqun, Kong Lianshun and many other actors all played roles in the film. It is worth noting that in this film version of "Eight Precepts of spring splendid pigs", there are many old faces in the original TV series version.
The TV drama version of "The Eight Precepts of the Brilliant Spring Pig" was launched in the new millennium, 21 years ago. This TV series belonged to the very good ratings of the year, so it is the TV series memory of a generation of middle-aged audiences. Of course, it is obviously inappropriate to call the TV series "The Eight Precepts of the Spring Splendid Pig" a classic. I saw that in the short comments of the fans of the movie version, they thought that the TV series version was their own classic of the year, which was obviously lacking in consideration.
It must be reiterated that hit dramas and classic dramas are two typical things. When we evaluate a film and television drama work, we can't determine what a classic drama it is because of how popular it is. On this issue, I once took the drama starring Grandma Rong as an example in the drama review article, telling young readers which drama, when it was broadcast that year, was also a ratings fire, but it itself belongs to the bad drama, and it is not a classic at all. Of course, when I say this, many viewers who chased this kind of drama at that time may not be comfortable.
Why is it uncomfortable? Because I feel like I'm being "looked down upon.". You don't have to carry this mindset. In fact, popular dramas like "The Eight Precepts of the Brilliant Spring Pig" were also watched a lot by the old editors that year. At that time, many middle-aged audiences were just a child, and we could not ask children to be able to have advanced aesthetic ability. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with everyone chasing this TV series. What we should really think about is whether our aesthetic ability is still stuck in the child's intellectual ability. If this is still the case, it may need to be reflected.
In the TV drama version of that year, Xu Zheng and Tao Hong, the two actors, can be said to have "made the limelight" in the plot and played a living treasure without restrictions. This "Eight Precepts of the Brilliant Spring Pig" once made the old editor think that Xu Zheng was an actor without talent, and he could only eat in this kind of rotten drama. However, Xu Zheng's subsequent screenwriting talent and director talent are presented, and this film and television worker actually knows what is a good work and what is a bad work. It seems that good actors and good film and television workers may also need the nourishment of some bad film and television works.
In the movie version of "Eight Precepts of the Brilliant Spring Pig", Xu Zheng did not play a cameo role. Obviously, Xu Zheng, who is more willing to make achievements in realism now, should still stay away from this kind of work. For this movie version, the story basically adheres to the content of the TV series version, I am original, it should not be too much of a problem. In particular, the appearance of old faces in many TV drama versions can make the film carry some nostalgia.
For the quality of the film version, it should be judged from what angle. If it is regarded as a work for adult movie fans to watch, then this "Eight Precepts of spring splendid pigs" is not even a good idea in terms of story logic. In our current online movies, there are too many such demons and ghosts. The male and female protagonists are basically in the process of exorcising demons, sacrificing one, and then falling in love. In a word, this kind of content has been used on the street.
Of course, if we look at it from the perspective of a fairy tale film and lower our IQ expectations for this movie, we will find a good side to it. For example, it celebrates a spirit of love that dares to sacrifice for each other. This kind of mutual dedication in love is still very valuable. And the story itself to find treasures, fill in the East Sea, etc., are also the content of fairy tales. At the beginning of the film, it is the character played by Tao Hong who tells stories to the children, which is really a stroke of God. This movie should be seen as a fairy tale.
However, there are also debatable points about viewing the film as a fairy tale. Where? It is the content of the picture of some groups of demons dancing around. In this film, in order to cater to some improper needs of some adult fans, many debatable pictures were shot, especially on the elements of the female body. These contents put the film in the cliché of a typical network movie. As a fairy tale film, it is really inappropriate for so many actresses to make so many indecent moves.
Therefore, I think that the film version, and the TV series version, have maintained similarities in quality. They can only be in the state of "one fun", far from "classic". (Text/Ma Qingyun)
