Di Renjie's Four Heavenly Kings
Xu Ke's trilogy "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" (2010), "Di Renjie's God Dragon King" (2013) and "Di Renjie's Four Heavenly Kings" (2018) began the Di Renjie series of movies, the three films by famous actors, such as Andy Lau, Li Bingbing, Liu Jialing, Zhao Youting, etc., each has strength, but also box office guarantee, film publicity is also in place, Liu Jialing three films are starred, the viewing of the film will not be so abrupt. Since then, many directors have also been inspired by this and began to shoot the Di Renjie series of films.
Di Renjie's mysterious eyes, iQiyi can see
Today, let's talk about the movie "Di Renjie's Magnificent Red Eye" (2021), the case is still full of mystery. On the occasion of the tianhou Wu Zetian's birthday feast, in Fangzhou, where the prince was degraded, there appeared "red-eyed monsters", which literally means red eyes, and the so-called monsters are actually "unknown" dead people, after all, they cannot be real monsters. To digress, props, makeup is not so careful, it is estimated that it is a provincial cost, the lens also keeps a distance, not scary, more ugly. So this matter was quickly exploited by people with ulterior motives, and it was rumored that the prince was resentful because he was degraded, and deliberately made things happen at this moment. But is this really the case?
Di Renjie
In the midst of all parties harboring ghosts and conspiracies, Di Renjie was sent by Emperor Wu to investigate the case, and the forces of all sides also overtly or covertly monitored Di Renjie's every move, and after obtaining evidence and various strange tricks too smoothly, the prince went to death row. Di Renjie was obviously suspicious of the matter, And Di Renjie stripped away the cocoon, cleared the fog, and finally found out the truth: the prince was designed, and the real murderer was someone else. But is this truth the end result? There are also some hints in the movie, and with the progress bar indicated, the ending is reversed again. In addition to inheriting the elements of the previous Di Renjie series of movies: action, ghosts, magic, fright and other elements, the plot development also integrates politics and the struggle for the prince's position, which can really be said to be a praying mantis catching cicadas, yellow sparrows behind, and the final result is unexpected, but also reasonable.
Shen Qingqing is also an enemy and a friend
After talking about the plot, let's talk about my opinion of this movie. The trilogy directed by Xu Ke had a great influence on the later Di Renjie series of films. Especially when the case involves magic and the embodiment of demons and ghosts, many movies refer to Xu Dao's form of expression, but this film does not have the performance of magic (embarrassment), and there are not many special effects. There is also a more common method of the Di Renjie series of movies: the people around Di Renjie will always die. This seems to be inherited in the trilogy of director Xu Ke (the role played by Li Bingbing and the role played by Deng Chao). In fact, sometimes it is completely unnecessary, of course, this is my personal idea, maybe the director is to strengthen the conflict, inspire the protagonist to turn grief into strength, and finally find the truth. There is also the beginning of Di Renjie's own experience, put in the beginning and the back of the plot is a bit jumpy, personally feel that in the process of the case, in the way Di Renjie recalled, it will be more attractive.
