The story of the movie "Notes on Tomb Robbery" should be ...... It is a combination of the two paragraphs of "Genting Heavenly Palace" + "Snake Swamp Ghost Town" adapted from the original book.

Why 'should'?

Because from the perspective of an ordinary audience who has watched "Notes on Tomb Robbery" and is familiar with the content, he can only see such content.

Judging from the above synopsis, most people should expect to see a movie such as the "Mummy" series.

…… If director Li Rengang really filmed this "Tomb Robbery Notes" according to the rhythm and content mode of copying "The Mummy", it might not really be so ugly.

But this time, Li Rengang's version of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" really made Li Mo feel a big surprise.

I don't know how director Li Rengang communicated with the screenwriter Nanpai Third Uncle during the filming of the movie, anyway, what Li Mo and all the audience saw in the end was actually a fusion of martial arts, science fiction, comedy, action, horror, thriller and other genre elements mixed and matched.

Over the years, due to the restrictions on the theme of the Celestial Empire movie, for the theme of going to the tomb and inverting the bucket, basically everyone will be subject to various restrictions when filming the content of related themes, which is actually nothing to complain about, because this thing is the bottom line that the management department has long set to death, but anyone who wants to shoot related themes is subject to the same restrictions.

But even so, in the finished film, the final quality is still high and low.

"Looking for the Dragon", which was just released last year, and "The King of Adventure" by Jet Li in the golden age of Xiangjiang films, are all high-quality works, and if the quality is not so good, Baodao director Zhu Yanping's "Thorn Tomb" and Lu Chuan's "Nine-Story Demon Tower" are also typical representatives.

Unfortunately, in Li Mo's view, the "Tomb Robbery Notes" invested by Lay's Pictures this time can almost be regarded as a large collection of "Thorn Tomb" + "Nine-Story Demon Tower" + foreign classic inverted movies.

I don't know if it's intentional, "Notes on Tomb Robbery", like "Thorn Tomb", is also a movie that starts with someone's memories and kicks off the story.

At the beginning of the movie, the writer who starred in the guest role of the third uncle of the southern school found Wu Xie played by Lu Han in order to find material for writing, and then Wu Xie told him a story about how he and 'stuffy oil bottle' Zhang Qiling saved the world by fighting a few years ago.

Wang Zanghai, the ancient elephant king (Wannu king), the queen mother of the west......

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the end of the Jin Dynasty, the ...... of antiquity

These three dynasties, which span a great span, are connected together through a story.

In order to seek the way of immortality, the ancient elephant king (Wannu King) sent people to find the legendary Queen Mother of the West, and when the method of immortality was in hand, he instructed Wang Zanghai to build an ancient tomb to seal him, his generals and the army, until they woke up again thousands of years later......

Seeing this, do you think this story seems a bit familiar?

Déjà vu is right.

The story that Wu Xie said in his mouth is basically a "Prometheus" version of "The Mummy".

The setting of the Queen Mother of the West and the Ancient Elephant King in the film is basically from "The Mummy 3", the vicious royal family has mastered the secret of immortality and then slept for thousands of years, and finally hopes to rule the world with its own undead army, which is really the same as the setting of the emperor and his terracotta warriors played by Jet Li in "The Mummy 3", and the role of Zhang Qiling in the film is also similar to Liang Luoshi in "The Mummy 3".

On the other hand, the film tells the story of an old rich man who is about to die of old age and sends people to find the secret of immortality to make himself immortal, which also coincides with "Looking for the Dragon" and "Prometheus", and there is also a scene in the film where A-Ning uses an electronic technology aircraft to scan the structure of the tomb and draw a 3D image, which is just the same as the scene of the red light scanner in "Prometheus......

As a movie that puts the word "tomb robbery" into the title of the film, "Tomb Robbery Notes" did go all out to create a feeling of "going down to the tomb and fighting upside down", but even with such intentions, the atmosphere and environment presented by "Tomb Robbery Notes" are still much worse than the previous "Looking for the Dragon".

…… From the perspective of scene creation, the underground part of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is even inferior to Lu Chuan's "Nine-Story Demon Tower".

Anyway, even if there is a light source in the underground or cave in "Nine-Story Demon Tower", it can find a reasonable explanation.

As for the tomb in "Notes on Tomb Robbery", Li Mo feels that it is more like an ancient abandoned museum with many institutions.

Every room, no matter what the purpose of that room is, there must be lights when you go in, and it is absolutely bright, which is very conducive to Jing Boran and Lu Hantong's shoes.

Li Mo feels that the reason for this situation should be the director who controls the overall situation.

It is estimated that due to working in a certain environment for a long time, Li Rengang has been completely assimilated by the environment, and he may have forgotten the movie he shot at all, in fact, there was a set background at the beginning.

Of course, if it is only the above problems, "Tomb Robbery Notes" is at best a domestic movie with obvious logical bugs.

In this era when there are many logical problems in domestic films, in fact, ...... It's really not a big deal.

The reason why "Notes on Tomb Robbery" makes people feel very 'jumpy' is at least 40% of the reason why it is attributed to the screenwriter Nanpai's third uncle.

As the one who added character design to the characters in the play, the purpose of the third uncle of the southern faction to join the crew should be to make the character and plot of the movie "Notes on Tomb Robbery" not go too far, but judging from the effect presented in the movie, he basically failed to achieve these two goals.

From Wu Xie who went to the tomb for the first time, to the third uncle who is said to be 'experienced', everyone has not been able to see a little bit of the awe of 'death is like life' handed down from the ancient Celestial Empire, and it seems that they have never felt that there is such a thing as 'rules' in the behavior that they have inherited for dozens of generations.

When he saw the treasures of gold and silver, he threw himself up;

When you see a coffin, try to pry it open;

He is simply obsessed with the modern firearms in his hands to the point of fanaticism;

Who would have imagined that a guy who had to use the Jingdong APP to buy tomb robbery tools before going to the tomb would actually be a big family from hundreds of thousands of years of 'craftsmanship inheritance';

In addition to a black gold ancient knife that is said to be used only by those who are destined, where is the shadow of the tomb robber family in all the people of the third uncle's team?

Even his American counterparts, who have always been despised and uneducated, will not run to Amazon to buy a bunch of mass production or recharge when they are about to be born and die, right?

…………

At the end of the movie, the lights in the screening room were turned on again, and the main creators of the film were introduced by the host and took the stage in batches to be interviewed by the media.

It was only at this time that Li Mo really breathed a sigh of relief.

…… It's finally over.

If the "Legend of the Gods" released last week was a filming accident caused by the film's creators who were not capable enough and forcibly got on the horse, then this "Tomb Robbery Notes" is simply a living disaster scene in Li Mo's view.

"Mina, are you uncomfortable? I see that your face is not very good?"

“…… The 3D effect of the movie just now is a bit too strong, I ...... I'm a little dizzy. ”
