"Dragon Quest" belongs to the treasure hunt expedition from the genre.

In fact, domestic movies have never made such a genre, and Zhang Pu is also the first person to eat crabs.

There are actually quite a few such films in Hollywood.

And this kind of film, in fact, also has a certain pattern.

The first stage is the introduction of the characters.

At the beginning of the film, one of Hu Bayi's dreams actually has four characters.

Hu Bayi played by Chen Huatao.

Because of the family biography "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", proficient in feng shui gossip, very interested in tomb exploration, and later met Shirley Yang, and his partner began to touch the career of Jin Xiaowei.

After nine deaths, he was ready to wash his hands with Shirley Yang and his friend Wang Kaixuan, but he suddenly heard that his first love Ding Sitian, who sacrificed for him 20 years ago, might still be alive, so he and his friends returned to the grassland, but they didn't expect this to be a more dangerous adventure.

Wang Kaixuan played by Huang Ye.

He is Hu Bayi's most iron buddy, and when he was in Inner Mongolia in the 60s, he "competed" with Lao Hu to pursue Ding Sitian. Later, he reunited with Hu Bayi and began his career as a lieutenant.

He was unwilling to wash his hands in the golden basin of the United States, but unexpectedly saw the mysterious symbol that led to the death of his first love Ding Sitian 20 years ago, so he returned to Inner Mongolia and went to danger again with Hu Bayi.

Shirley Yang played by Tang Rui.

Chinese-American, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, and worked as a photojournalist for National Geographic magazine. He loves archaeology, and when he returned to China, he met Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, forming a stable combination to start an expedition, and in the process he developed feelings for Hu Bayi.

Because Hu Bayi returned to China to explore the life and death of his first love, he couldn't bear to be separated, so he followed Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan to Inner Mongolia to reorganize the "gold trio" and experience the most thrilling adventure together.

In addition, there is Ding Sitian played by Dong Qin.

She cut the queue with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan in the grassland, and is the first love object shared by the two people, who can sing and dance, Hu Bayi uses "too beautiful, amazing to heaven" to describe her.

The heroic sacrifice on the grassland to save Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan made Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan unforgettable for 20 years. After that, her life and death became a mystery that was difficult to solve. Unexpectedly, the trio of Touch Gold met her in their latest adventure.

The characters appear, but the information about the characters slowly unfolds and continues to improve as the plot unfolds.

Of course, for fans of the original book, these characters are naturally familiar.

But even if you are not a fan of the original work, it does not affect the movie.

Just like Hu Bayi's dream, whether it is a fan of the original book or not, there are doubts.

Why did you have such a dream?

The film continues, and the plot unfolds.

On this day, Wang Kaixuan drank too much, and an organization called the Global Spiritual Restoration Society found them, and the leader of the organization, Ying Caihong, was particularly interested in a baby named Biganhua, and hired them at a high price to go out of the mountain.

Wang Kaixuan agreed to cooperate with the organization with the help of his agent, Da Jinya, and signed a treasure hunt contract.

Big Gold Tooth makes a living by reselling antiques and has super lip service. said that Wang Kaixuan was the eighty-second generation descendant of Captain Jin, so the other party gave a lot of money.

Wang Kaixuan drank and scolded the other party for taking money to smash people, and when he wanted to drop something, he found that the tomb information provided by the other party contained the other side flowers. What really prompted Wang Kaixuan to decide to hunt for treasure was this treasure called "Flower on the Other Side".

Hu Bayi received a farewell video from Wang Kaixuan, Wang Kaixuan told Hu Bayi that he was going back to China to explore an ancient tomb of the Liao Dynasty, but it was not for money, because this ancient tomb had news of flowers on the other side, and decided to enter the thousand-year-old tomb of the grassland to find out, Shirley Yang said that Wang Kaixuan lied and persuaded Hu Bayi to stay in the United States, and through their fake marriage, Bayi could obtain the right of residence in the United States.

Hu Bayi was sure that Wang Kaixuan would not tell a lie about Ding Sitian.

The flower on the other side involves the unforgettable memories of Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi.

At this point in the film, it moves on to the second stage: the appearance of the mission.

Twenty years ago, Wang Kaixuan, Hu Bayi, Ding Sitian and others were a group of educated youths who responded to the motherland's call to go to the mountains and countryside.

They were assigned to work in a mountain pasture in the Inner Mongolian steppe. After a long time of love, the two brothers Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi fell in love with Ding Sitian, and Wang Kaixuan also wrote a love letter to her. However, an accident completely changed their fate and cost Ding Sitian's life.

One evening, Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi followed the team to break the four olds, they have firm beliefs and ideals, and responded to the call of the supreme leader to sweep away all ghosts, snakes, and gods... I was going to destroy the tomb of the goddess, but I accidentally broke into the abandoned base of the Japanese army, and saw many corpses of devils, and the Japanese zombies in the Japanese army base were densely packed with ragged clothes, bandages, and heavy weapons, and their rigid facial expressions added a breath of death.

The educated youths are staunch materialists, and they are not afraid, they still break the stone statues, and as a result, the devils have to stand up and attack, in the process of protecting Ding Sitian and fighting with the Japanese zombies, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan fell to the ground one after another, but it is also a plot of desperate struggle and heroes saving beauty, but the "treatment" of the two is worlds apart.

Hu Bayi's beauty is in his arms, but Wang Kaixuan is holding a zombie in his arms. During the struggle, someone fell, which happened to trigger the blasting device to activate, and except for Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, who barely escaped, everyone else died.

Although the resurrection of the dead body of the devil is absurd, Hu Bayi thinks that it is indeed a fact.

It was at this base that Wang Kaixuan promised to find the other side flower for Ding Sitian, even if he went to the underworld.

This is Wang Kaixuan's heart knot.

Hu Bayi decided to go to Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang was angry but not at ease, and he also wanted to return to China with him.

The film enters the third part: the map!

Where is the treasure hidden?

This part of the map is often a confrontation between positive and negative characters.

Of course, this confrontation usually lasts until the end of the film.

The villain of "Looking for the Dragon" is naturally Sister Hong played by Cai Ya.

This character is Wang Kaixuan's employer.

She brought a large group of people with her, and it didn't seem to be as simple as a simple tomb robbery, and they often carried out practical activities. And the owner of Princess Ogu's coffin they want to inquire about has a dual identity, and it is still a sacrifice. There is a magic weapon in his hand, which is called the other side flower.

Wang Kaixuan is not good at dividing gold and fixing holes, and he didn't find the tomb in eight places in a row, Sister Hong threatened Wang Kaixuan with a big gold tooth, Wang Kaixuan remembered the place where Ding Sitian died, and the result was a successful attempt, and finally found the location of the tomb.

On the other side, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang hired a herdsman's car to travel, but the car overturned. Hu Bayi borrowed the herdsman's horse and asked Shirley Yang to stay, and he came to pick up Shirley Yang after he returned with Wang Kaixuan.

Shirley Yang is not willing to wait, she abides by the ancestral motto: together is life, and separation is death. Insisting on going together, she got the herdsman's motorcycle and rushed to the ancient tomb faster than Hu Bayi.

And the plot is here, and the film enters the fourth link: the key after finding the location.

Generally, the treasure will be hidden in a dungeon, or in a dangerous environment, and to really find the treasure itself, you have to break through some level passwords or keys.

In this film, Hu Bayi's dragon hunt is undoubtedly the key. Because of this ability to pass the level, he was able to clear the level.

Wang Kaixuan was able to find this location because he had been to this place before, so Wang Kaixuan's link was the link of the map, and Hu Bayi's link was the link of the key.

After Wang Kaixuan and Sister Hong went to the tomb, the protector of the underground palace was mysterious and unpredictable, giving people a strong deterrent.

Sister Hong purposefully collected round carvings printed with the pattern of the flower on the other side, she had one in her hand, and collected two more in the tomb, and each time she took a piece, there would be a corresponding danger, and Sister Hong's team continued to die.

Wang Kaixuan and Da Jinya were also in distress, and when they couldn't get out, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang arrived and saved the lives of this group of people.

That's where the key comes in.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang want to take Wang Kaixuan out and don't want to lose their good friends anymore. But Wang Kaixuan insisted that he must find the other side of the flower.

Although Wang Kaixuan knew that Ding Sitian preferred Hu Bayi, this did not affect Wang Kaixuan's thoughts about Ding Sitian. My feelings for her are unforgettable in this life, and I can die for her, and I would rather die with her in the first place.

Subsequently, Wang Kaixuan recalled the moment of the accident with emotion.

Ding Sitian died to save them.

I have to say that Ding Sitian, played by Dong Qin, gives a feeling of first thought.

After a quarrel, no one left.

Shirley Yang is taken hostage by Sister Hong and threatens Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan to find the coffin of Princess Agu.

After a thrilling "tackling", Hu Bayi found the princess's coffin with the trick of finding the dragon, and Sister Hong asked the three of them to carve the coffin with the flowers they had collected.

The coffin was opened, and the princess corpse inside was holding the flower in her hand, which was Sister Hong's goal. Legend has it that this flower from the sky can connect life and death, go straight to the two worlds of yin and yang, and bring the dead back to life.

Then the film enters the fifth stage: the test of the humanity of the treasure.

Both the positive and negative characters have seen the treasure, which is the key link, and when you really get the treasure, it is often the villain who makes the wrong choice.

He is all to blame, and often the struggle between the positive and the villain is the difference in the choice of values, so the villain kills himself, and the positive character wins.

As soon as the coffin lid was opened, the steps around the coffin suddenly fell, and Hu Bayi and the three of them fell, but fortunately, Hu Bayi held it with the claws of the flying dragon, and the three of them escaped, and found the familiar remains of the 69-year-old group of educated youth.

After the three of them climbed up, they analyzed that the red light was the reason for the resurrection of the dead body, and the source of the light should be the flower on the other side in the princess's tomb, which would glow and mutate when it was in Yin. It's about to be the end of the day, Hu Bayi wants to remind everyone to retreat quickly, but it's too late, the flowers on the other side emit a red light, reflecting back from the top of the cave, countless dead corpses are resurrected, and they are frantically attacking everyone.

When the film arrives, it has undoubtedly entered the sixth and final stage: escape.

This is essential.

In "Looking for the Dragon", the map is based on an accident, and through a memory of Wang Kaixuan, the approximate location of this tomb was accidentally found.

In the end, the test of human nature of this treasure is that Hu Bayi himself overcame a dilemma in his heart and made the right choice, and the villain was bent on going his own way.

Sister Hong claimed that her time was running out and she had to get the flower to continue her life, so regardless of the danger, she stubbornly picked up the fragments of the flower on the other side, wanting to connect the yin and yang of life and death, and fell into the abyss in order to pick up the pieces.

As soon as the flowers on the other side were shattered, the ancient tomb activated the destruction device, and Hu Bayi and the three of them fled frantically with big gold teeth......

The ending is naturally an escape.
