The movie has only been screened for less than ten minutes now, but Yi Jianmei has already given it a high score of "8" in advance in his heart.

It is very difficult to bring a puppet show to the screen, and the ceiling of the puppet's expressive ability is there, and it is destined to not be as expressive as a real person.

But from the beginning of the movie to the present, Yi Jianmei can clearly notice that the movie is trying to avoid this shortcoming as much as possible when shooting. If you can't avoid it, you will also use various ways to divert the audience's attention and make up for the shortcomings.

Whether it is the scene, special effects, and especially the plot setting, that is, the content, this is largely done. The thriller and suspense of the front prologue, the various witty, nonsensical, and constant laughs after entering the feature film, can all show the level of the film's production team.

In the end, movies are actually the same as magic, they are all deceiving the audience's vision.

And the movie in front of me has played this trick very well.

On the screen, Ning Caichen was chased by a wild wolf all the way with a lantern and broke into Lanruo Temple, and bumped into Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman who were fighting. This Xiahou swordsman is the black-clothed swordsman who chased the robbers and slashed in the previous prologue.

In fact, there have been two simple fights before, one is the Xiahou swordsman slashing and killing the robbers, and the other is the hunting fast people in the market to grab people. But in comparison, this fight scene is the real martial arts!

Tomahawk Pictures is famous for making kung fu movies, even if the real person is replaced by a marionette, the fight scene is particularly exciting!

And unlike kung fu movies, the fists and feet are staggered, and the fists are to the flesh, the movie in front of me is called a sword and sword, and the eaves are walking on the wall! It's another style of free and easy, handsome!

Many fans are already a little fascinated, this is really handsome!

There are martial arts and martial arts movies in this world, but because the blockbuster of the Lighthouse Country swept the world at that time, it was directly smashed to pieces and died prematurely. Martial arts-style fights currently occasionally appear in some costume films to make up scenes, but that kind of fight scene can't be too difficult because it takes into account Xiao Xianrou's ability and beauty in the prosperous world, and it's far less refreshing to watch than these puppet fights now!

Zhao Chengwen is a martial arts fan in his bones, and when he was filming "Zhuxian 1", he brought a lot of private goods, so many scenes in Zhuxian can also see the shadow of martial arts. And Wang Xianzhi, as his student, was obviously influenced by him a lot, and when Han Lan proposed to use martial arts to make up for the shortcomings of the puppet's facial expressions, he integrated martial arts into it.

The effect is naturally very good, and for marionettes, this kind of cornice walking wall is easier to shoot than a live actor. A lot of difficult martial arts moves are also easy for them.

Yi Jianmei has already understood that the genre and style of this movie is martial arts and witty, plus horror elements, or to be precise, "Zhiwei", and love elements.

Ning Caichen met the swordsman Yan Chixia in Lanruo Temple, and also met the fox demon Nie Xiaoqian by mistake, and because of her kindness, she was touched by calling Nie Xiaoqian stupidly, and one person and one demon gradually fell in love.

This is Ning Caichen's main plot, and for Yan Chixia, it is actually to fight monsters all the way, then fight bosses, and finally fight an ultimate boss.

However, the film production team integrated these two lines very well, perfectly binding Yan Chixia, who is explosive, and Ning Caichen, who is a scumbag of war, to work together, to fight and blame me, and to promote the development of the plot together.

The movie's score in Yi Jianmei's heart increased to 8.5 points, and it did not fall until the end of the movie.

The little fat brother sitting next to him cried and laughed and laughed the whole time, laughing and crying, but he was a lover, and his emotions were completely led away by Nie Xiaoqian.

It's not just him, it is estimated that most of the audience in the theater will remember Nie Xiaoqian the most after watching the movie. has good looks, figure, temperament, and kindness and infatuation, not to mention men, women are excited when they see it.

Even Liu Rong was a little entangled after reading it, not only reluctant to reincarnate Nie Xiaoqian, but also unable to bear her to continue to be trapped in the fox corpse and suffer.

"Alas~"

"It's hard to fall in love......"

Liu Rong sighed, glanced at An Keke on the side, and Ankeke quickly threw the last popcorn into his mouth, and then stuffed the empty bucket into his arms:

"Don't sigh, didn't I give you popcorn? The popcorn that the two of us ate together, made me feel sorry for you the whole time? Now it's your turn to hug. Let's go. An Keke waved his hand and followed Xia Ningxuan and Han Lan out.

"......" Liu Rong.

This woman, such a touching love story, didn't she react?

Liu Rong sighed and shook his head: "I'm too difficult......"

……

Yi Jianmei, a film critic who has always been known for being fast, rarely did not release the first film review this time, but sat in a café with a notebook and reminisced about this movie.

What he paid the most attention to in the whole movie was not Nie Xiaoqian, but the particularity of this movie.

In fact, after the trailer was released, he had specifically learned about the original work "Liao Zhai" mentioned by director Wang Xianzhi, and also read Nie Xiaoqian.

This movie is actually a drastic adaptation of the original book, and what is presented to him is another story completely different from the original book.

Including the character design, it has changed, such as the most popular Nie Xiaoqian, she is a female ghost in the original book, but in the movie, she was changed to a fox demon, and a section of the tree demon grandma sealing her soul into the fox corpse was added.

There is also this male and female tree demon grandma, which was naturally added by the crew, and it was not in the original book.

If there is an original party, this movie will definitely be scolded in the headlines at this time.

But if you really respect the original work and put Nie Xiaoqian's article on the screen, it will definitely be scolded even more fiercely by fans!

After all, after hundreds of years, people's preferences have long changed.

If you look at it by modern standards, Ning Caichen in the original book is a scumbag!

At the beginning of the original work, it was written that he often said to others: "There is no difference in life", which means that he will not take concubines for life, has not had an affair, and is a good man who is dedicated to love.

That is to say, in the original book, before he met Nie Xiaoqian, he had already married a wife, but after rescuing Nie Xiaoqian, Nie Xiaoqian proposed to make a personal promise, he looked at Nie Xiaoqian carefully, and saw that she "has a beautiful body, a thin bamboo shoot, a good face during the day, and is especially beautiful", so he agreed to take a concubine. This is very in line with the feudal etiquette law, I was seduced in the temple before, and I decisively refused because it was not in accordance with the etiquette law, but now I am a concubine, so there is no problem.

But the old mother of the Ning family didn't dare to accept Nie Xiaoqian, and only made them brother and sister.

Nie Xiaoqian lived in the Ning family like this, and it didn't take long for Ning Caichen's original daughter-in-law to die of illness. Nie Xiaoqian stayed up for more than a year, and the old mother agreed, so Ning Caichen married her to continue the string.

Later, Ning Caichen took another concubine in the Jinshi examination.

What about the "life is the same"?

If Tomahawk Pictures really dares to make a movie like this, it will definitely be sprayed into the sky by netizens.

Moreover, the original work is limited by the factors of the times, and there are many feudal remnants, so it is really impossible to use it directly.

After the drastic adaptation, whether it is Ning Caichen or Nie Xiaoqian, or the development of the whole story, it is obviously more satisfying to the audience than the original work. Especially Nie Xiaoqian, Yi Jianmei roughly guessed why she changed her setting to a fox demon.

People have a natural fear of ghosts, and even the most beautiful female ghosts always feel weird. It's the fox demon, with the whitewashing of various films, television, animation, and works in recent years, the fox demon is obviously more popular than the female ghost.

In addition, in addition to Nie Xiaoqian's story, the film is represented in the form of marionettes.

In other words, from the material to the production, the whole movie mainly uses things from traditional Chinese culture.

But the marionette has actually been modified by them, and it is completely different from the traditional marionette.

Yi Jianmei was a little confused, is such a big change really inheriting traditional culture?
