Picking the Bone for Lao Hu's Movies

First of all, I must be sure that Lao Hu's film sets and costumes are very elegant, and they are not comparable to those shoddy costume films made in Hong Kong at the same time and the large amount of traffic ip costume movies in the mainland now.

However, there are several distasteful places in the film:

1. There was a battle in the deserted general's mansion. The conspiracy, tricks, rumors and rumors of the male protagonist were highlighted for a long time as a strategy of Gu Zhuge, but I personally feel that these so-called strategies did not play a role in the movie or It is said that Lao Hu did not film this part well. The fundamental reason for the victory of the General's Mansion is nothing more than the super combat effectiveness of the positive characters and the role played by those who fired multiple bows and crossbows. Therefore, these useless arrangements of Gu Zhuge by Lao Hu are completely useless and useless.

2. After the war at the General's Mansion, Gu Zhuge's scenes of laughing and fiddling with organs were actually superfluous failures. Those laughs actually showed the ugly appearance of the hero, and did not create an image of his resourcefulness.

3. After the battle at the General's Mansion, he entered the hall and saw the enemy general who was killed on the ground. From here onwards, the image of Master Gu became absolutely ugly---look at him Just now he laughed to show himself off, but now he scare Haw six souls into loss. So many corpses outside didn't scare him, only this enemy general could scare him? This is definitely Lao Hu's failure. After that, Gu Zhuge even lost his IQ---asking people everywhere to see if they saw Miss Yang---his IQ is not online, although we know that this is to show his urgency to find Miss Yang, but the movie is like this. Shooting, embarrassing the audience to the point where it can't be done.

4. At the end of the movie, the four apprentices of the monk who are carrying ropes are really not as useful as the enemy's soldiers. You are joking, old Hu. In fact, Lao Hu can be adapted like this: the four apprentices are highly skilled in martial arts, but they are entangled by the powerful second general of the enemy leader, and then the local boss and the monk boss start to fight. There's really no need for it to be like in the current movie: 4 rope-ring apprentices were killed by the enemy boss in seconds---In this case, what Laohu and his grandmother portray these 4 people to do, it's better to let the monk boss appear alone!
