When "Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Notes from the Tomb Robber" were just popular, all kinds of small network dramas competed to be released, almost destroying these two major IPs.
In 2015, the movie "Ghost Blowing Lantern Dragon Hunt" turned out to be a change in this embarrassing and bad situation.
The first part of "Finding the Dragon" was directed by Ur Shan, starring Chen Kun, Huang Bo, Shu Qi and Xia Yu, and after its release, it earned 1.68 billion yuan at the box office, which shows its classic degree.
How to describe "Dragon Quest"? Unexpectedly good, couldn't fault everything, probably the best answer.
Although this film has little to do with the plot of "Ghost Blowing Lights", the characters are in line with the original work, and the story plot is also very exciting.
A group of the most correct star team did the right thing, satisfied many people's fantasies about the novel "Ghost Blowing Lights", which is the highest level of Chinese cinema and has landmark significance.
"Dragon Quest" has a total of two hours of time, but there is no time, the picture is superfluous, and there is a feeling of inexhaustibility after watching it.
The moment Chen Kun, Shu Qi, and Huang Bo came out of the lake, I began to look forward to the arrival of the next part. The film can be filmed to this extent, which is also a great success.
Now, 5 years have passed since the first part of "Dragon Quest". So, when is the second part of "Dragon Quest" coming?
In fact, as early as March 2020, the movie "Dragon Hunt 2" has been successfully approved and approved for filming, and the investor is Wanda Pictures.
In June 2020, Zeng Maojun said that filming will begin at the end of this year and is expected to be released in July, August or October 2021.
2021 has arrived, what is the situation of "Dragon Hunt 2", some netizens revealed the news on Weibo: "Dragon Hunt 2" is scheduled to be released in the 2022 New Year file.
In this way, it is not far from the day when "Dragon Quest 2" starts.
"Dragon Quest 2", also known as "Dragon Quest Golden Empire", is written by Wang Qinan, who is the screenwriter of Huayi Brothers Company, who has produced "Legend of the Wind", "LOVE", "Get Out", etc., and the level is relatively high.
The supervising producer is still Chen Guofu, and the first "Dragon Hunt" is his supervision, and the special effects, props, actors, etc. are relatively good.
The director of the first "Dragon Hunt" was Urshan, and the second was replaced by Tian Li. Although Tian Li is a new director in the entertainment industry, his directing ability is still quite strong, and the two web dramas "River God" and "River God 2" have won a good reputation.
From this point of view, this "Golden Empire of Dragon Hunting" will also be a very good film.
The film mainly tells the story of: Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, Shirley Yang's expedition continues, this time they are looking for the legendary "Nuwa Patch Heavenly Stone".
Legend has it that this thing can make up for all the regrets of the world. Hu Bayi discovered a completely different life, can the biggest regret in his heart be repaired? And his opponent is his ancestor...
Although the above story introduction is very simple, there are many highlights that can be spied on, such as: "Nuwa Patch Heavenly Stone" and "Old Ancestor" What is the secret, or quite attractive.
A good "grave robbery drama", the story plot accounts for half, and the other half is how the cast is.
Once in an interview, Zeng Maojun said: "This film is still played by the "original class of people", "presumably this is also the ending that many netizens want to see."
Although there are many tomb robbery dramas "Iron Triangle" now, Chen Kun, Shu Qi, and Huang Bo are definitely the "white moonlight" in the hearts of many people, and have an irreplaceable position.
In "Finding the Dragon", although Chen Kunyi appeared with a depressed look, his eyes were full of wisdom and shrewdness, especially the section on the grassland that galloped on the horse, which was called a new height.
In the later period, in the process of going to the tomb, it showed a 30-year-old Hu Bayi persona, who did not lose his calm in tension, and his skills were smooth and smooth.
In general, Hu Bayi, played by Chen Kun, can be called a comprehensive combination of Jin Dong and Pan Yueming, with handsomeness, acting skills and temperament, which is the role that is most in line with the original work.
Huang Bo, the bottles and cans of the body are a bit sloppy, the body is completely fat, and the coincidence with Wang Fatzi is not so high.
Fortunately, his acting skills are better, there is no idol baggage, and the character of Wang Fatzi's "iron and humble" is vividly displayed, and the performance can be said to be decent.
Compared with Jiang Chao's Wang Kaixuan and Zhao Da's Wang Kaixuan, the three of them have their own tastes, and Huang Bo is more inclined to the temperament of a grassy hero.
Shirley Yang, played by Shu Qi, may be the best candidate at present!
Whether it is Chen Qiaoen's Shirley Yang or Zhang Yuqi's Shirley Yang, they are all a little bit different in taste and style.
Shirley Yang herself is a Chinese and foreign mixed-race, Shu Qi's temperament has a shareholder female beauty, but also a little European and American female style, and the original heroine's personality is very consistent.
In addition, in the performance of the film, Shu Qi's interpretation is also relatively wild, without any idol baggage, and Chen Kun's CP sense is also relatively good.
In general, the iron triangle in "The Golden Empire of Dragon Hunting" is none other than Chen Kun, Shu Qi, and Huang Bo, if you change other people, it must be another wave of "keyboard operation".
What do you think about that?
