The novel is not the same as the script, which reflects that the audience targeted by Director Guo has not changed.

The movie Qingya Collection should be a combination of several stories from "Onmyoji"

The story of the killing stone at the beginning comes from "The Pipa Treasure Mysterious Elephant Was Stealed by Ghosts"

The murderous hair demon should be "Ghost Love Que Ji Xing"

The evil snake of the main line is "White Bhikkhuni"

"The Treasure of Pipa and Mysterious Elephant Was Stealed by Ghosts" describes the love story of the ghost of a qin master, which shows from the side that Boya is an elegant person who loves rhythm;

"Ghost Love Que Ji Xing" is about the resentment of a woman who was abandoned by a chaste sage

"White Bhikkhuni" is a story of a woman who eats the flesh of a mermaid and does not grow old, but the evil snake is born in her body due to the power of time and desire, and she is killed by Seimei and Boya...

All three stories are complete and impressive

I ate mermaid meat because of the pursuit of immortality, but my body turned into a monster because of the accumulation of years and desires.... Very logical

....but why is the plot in the movie on the street? In order to make do with the mermaid meat in the novel, the princess had to eat the mermaid meat; and then there was an immortal serpent in her body, which made people confused, and reluctantly explained: it is the mermaid meat that keeps the princess immortal, and the serpent keeps the princess immortal? Then why would the serpent eat the merman's flesh again to keep the princess from dying?

According to the novel, it is very logical. The princess eats the flesh of a merman, so she is immortal and becomes the best seal of the serpent, and the serpent feeds on desire, so the Onmyoji waits every few decades for the princess to produce a snake that materializes her desire. And kill it to prevent the princess from turning into a monster...

Why isn't the movie made this way? I believe that if the princess who has been eaten by the serpent for hundreds of years will never say sadly: old, dead, can't remember...nor will she have a vigorous love affair with Zhongxing .... will only exist as a god, ignoring all living beings...

Why shoot like this? It's still that gorgeous romance drama, in which the logic and plot still need to serve sensationalism.... I think it's just because the audience targeted by Director Guo is the same as the small era many years ago, and it still hasn't changed. Since it hasn't changed, naturally There is no need to change....

    (50/100) In the final analysis, Director Guo's aesthetic awareness is too poor. It was supposed to be a climax duel, but he actually found two little fresh meat to fight naked in close quarters? Is this really necessary? Originally, it was stupid enough to rely on lines throughout the plot. The design of the lines was as stupid as ever, and the actors were better than robots. Can you imagine that Zhao Youting, who has acted in a movie for ten years, has a lot more acting skills than Deng Lun, who was acting on the big screen for the first time? ? The story has the blessing of the original work, at least it can still be read, it is actually very monster reasoning (?), the props and costumes are not bad, and the background music is even played by the great god Kawai, which is very ancient. To tell the truth, if the director is replaced by Chen Kaige or Tsui Hark, the quality will be at least 7/8 points, and it doesn’t matter if the technique is rough and you don’t understand the language of the camera.

    Although my reason tells me this is impossible, literally speaking, "Qing Ya Ji" is very beautiful, and the costumes, art, and soundtrack are very good. Such a ceremonial base film that is full of ceremonial sense is simply tailor-made for the performance of Versailles master Guo Director. When Fan Xue film meets Guo's aesthetics, a chemical reaction from quantitative change to qualitative change occurs. It fits perfectly on every level, not to mention the Naked Man vs. the Python (forgive my evil).
