Several stills and materials exposed earlier in the "Shadow" of the National Normal University revealed that "Shadow" is a story about the Three Kingdoms period, and at the same time, it is said to be a story of overhead history. Since April this year, I have been developing a project related to the Three Kingdoms and Guan Yu. Until a few days ago, "Shadow" exposed the ultimate trailer. Although there is still no spoiler, the relationship between many scenes and characters has begun to emerge. With a little knowledge of the Three Kingdoms, I pondered the tip of the iceberg and suddenly felt a surprise. Now Make a bold guess about the stories and character prototypes borrowed from the film, for reference only before the screening.
The starting screen of the final version of the trailer is a duel between Deng Chao and Hu Jun in a gossip-like graphic. It can be guessed that they are hostile to each other, that is, the confrontational characters in the film. There are many confrontational characters in the Three Kingdoms, from the character shape. Seeing that it is a military commander again, the weapon used by Hu Jun's character resembles the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. The following sentence "I can regain Jingzhou, can not do without three people" is a homophony of Jingzhou and "Jingzhou", which can be regarded as a homonym. The reason for the overhead history, then you can boldly guess that the character prototype of the military commander played by Hu Jun is the famous Jingzhou defender-Guan Yu. Going down with this hypothesis, Sun Li’s line mentioned that “the hexagram has moved, it only takes seven days to rain continuously, and the water will prevail”, and the heavy rain like ink painting on the screen, can not help but remind people of Guan Yu taking advantage of the sky to fall. The heavy rain flooded the Seven Armies and Megatron Huaxia’s feat, and the following Wu Lei’s line "Has my father ever met a master?" I walked through the Sanhe under the sword", which fits the character of Guan Yu's arrogant character. At the same time, from the perspective of Wu Lei's character and the use of weapons, he is playing Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, and this prototype can be set.
Around the timeline of the story of the Seven Flooded Army, the one who can form a confrontation with Guan Yu is the guards Cao Ren, Yu Jin, and Pound of the Cao Jun guarding Fancheng, and the other is the Wu general Lv Meng who is famous for his surprise attack on Jingzhou. The term "recovering Jingzhou" should be judged by Lu Meng, and the strategy used by Lu Meng to break Jingzhou was to pretend to be sick and hide himself in the snow, replace himself with a green-faced Lu Xun to become the governor of Lukou, and flatter Guan Yu in a humble manner. Come to induce Guan Yu to underestimate the enemy and withdraw the Jiangling defenders to the front line, thus "faulting Jingzhou carelessly." If this hypothesis is true, then at this time, I admire the Chinese master's bold creation of characters. The model in "Shadow Warrior" is used to set the relationship between Lu Meng and Lu Xun. From the historical story, Lu Xun really In line with the role of Lu Meng’s shadow, these two are both iconic figures who regained Jingzhou, but their functions are different. One is inside and the other is in front of each other. Whoever deserves more credit is not judged by history, but they are digging for this in the movie The mental state of the two makes the drama tension and space huge, and the character setting like Sun Li is more in line with the needs of the genre model. At the same time, we can judge that the lord played by Zheng Kai is the big boss Wu Wang and Sun Quan behind it. Then the main storyline of the whole film is Lv Meng's "shadow" method to design the story of regaining Jingzhou.
If this conjecture is true, then the story angle chosen by the national teacher this time has a huge dramatic energy, the court's power, confrontation between the two sides, inner struggle, and at the same time overhead history and take its personality and character relationship, which will not spoil the audience. There is also a sense of deja vu, coupled with visual setting, enough to have a strong attraction.
In addition, the death of Lu Meng in history and in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very dramatic. The movie has not yet been released, and the ending of the characters is also very exciting.
The article is written before watching the movie, purely based on the guess and idea of the ultimate trailer. You can wait and see when it is released. More guesses and exchanges are welcome~
