Although the premiere from an online movie dared to choose the big screen, this is not the courage of who gave it, but because the quality of the film itself is excellent
Beauty producer Sun Linlin told everyone at the premiere that this is our first and only online movie to be screened on the big screen
"Pick the lamp and cut the snake record", Ming Huang dangling five big characters, at a glance is the word "snake cutting" is the most attractive
Ordinary cauliflower snakes naturally have no need to be chopped, it seems that this snake is not only not small in size, but also certainly not small; it is said that the snake should be hit to seven inches
What is the essence of the snake; in "The Little Prince", it is said that the python can swallow an elephant in one breath, and the task of cutting the snake should not be lighter than the dragon... Before the movie was watched, I was already thinking about this "snake cutting" plot
"Picking the Lamp and Slaying the Snake" can be summed up in a few words, that is, the fallen scholar, the courtyard lady, the snake slasher, the candlestick banshee, the ignorant villagers, and the cult leader
It can be said that this film effectively integrates these words and runs through the main line of a love story. Therefore, we can see the shadow of many famous works in "Picking the Lamp and Cutting the Snake"
The name of the film is in the spoiler plot, picking the lights, chopping the snake. Therefore, we don't have to analyze the plot or guess who is the demon and who is the villain when watching the movie, because each character appears in front of us with a label
The magic of this film is here, although I have a general understanding of the plot, but I will also devote myself to the film, the opening human snake battle made me tense my nerves instantly, and the realistic special effects were somewhat unconvinced that this was a network movie
I used to use "well-made" with my friends to describe some of the special effects blockbusters I watched in theaters, but these four words are used to describe "Pick the Lights and Snakes" at this time.
The snake was burned to death, the former snake slasher also disappeared with the snake, and the real urging jade slowly returned. However, the lamp spirit who incarnated as Miss Feng had exhausted all his light and warmth, and could no longer be lit.
Love may not be love at first sight, but silent companionship. Be a lamp around him, give him light, give him warmth, and make him feel at ease
The sad thing is that it can't be by your side forever, maybe your side, there is no more light, no more warmth.
