In a thousand-year-old tomb, people light candles and ghosts blow lanterns.

As a fake book fan of Ghost Blowing Lamp, I am very happy that "Long-hunting Art" basically satisfies all my imagination. Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, Shirley Yang, Da Jinya, these people seem to have come out of the book little by little, their laughter and scolding are so compatible. The sets, art, costumes, props, I can't be picky about every one of them. Also, there is nothing that is not "good-looking" in Wu Ershan's films.

"Looking for the Dragon" has a high degree of completion. It not only has the style of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster, but also integrates the oriental mystery well. Although the villain team led by Aunt Liu Xiaoqing is too stupid and useless, the whole film as a whole tells a complete story logically and clearly.
Back then, when I used Ghost Blowing Lamp as my bedtime reading, I was often scared to the point where my hands and feet were cold. It's not that what the novel itself describes is terrifying, but the eerie atmosphere it creates makes people panic. People light candles, ghosts blow lamps, this sentence alone gives people infinite imagination. The same is true of movies, which fully mobilize the senses of the audience, and the real 3D effect makes people feel like they are in the real world. (Every time they fight, my heart breaks because I have a phobia of cutting edge; my roommate is even worse, covering my eyes for a third of the time =_=) Although there is no need to worry about the protagonist's death in the middle, after all "last minute rescue" "It is a stalk that has been abused since the beginning of the film, but how these adventurous processes are presented and how the thrilling scenes are triggered will always haunt the audience's minds.
In addition to the visual and psychological impact, there is still a lot of space in "Looking for the Dragon" to discuss guilt and obsession. Although I personally don't like Ding Sitian's part, I must admit that her existence is very necessary. She is the stagnation in King Hu Bayi's triumphant heart, and the reason for them to resume their old business. At the end of the film, with the help of the illusion of Manzhu Shahua, the two people's inner demons are slowly untied, "She died so that we can live well." In my opinion, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Ding Sitian are the three of them. The bond between them is far higher than the love between men and women, but more like the "revolutionary friendship" mentioned by Wang Kaixuan. Finally, let go of the obsession, and the tearful Wang Kaixuan was also relieved.

If you touch Captain Jin, if you combine it, you will live, if you divide it, you will die. This is my favorite part of the video. It exploded, ah, there is wood! There is no resistance to this setting of fighting side by side while disgusting with the body and being honest! I have to mention the gold touch team here.
Chen Kun was a surprise. I didn't have much hope for his Hu Bayi, but I didn't expect it to be good, with the character of Master Hu. Twenty years ago, he obviously buried deeper. When Wang Kaixuan questioned, his slightly trembling facial muscles, clenched teeth, and depressed eyes were all well-presented, and I gave him a thumbs up.
As for Brother Bo, he has never been worried. He is just playing who is like who, and his body is not fat/burly. Besides, people in the movie are called Kai Ye! Brother Bo, this Kai Ye, I am satisfied with all kinds of 360 degrees! satisfy!
Shu Qi's shirley Yang has a little drama. Although she is Chinese-American, she can't help but feel her upper body when she speaks a Bayan accent! But Shu Qi's appearance is simply the Chinese version of Laura, she is really beautiful, and the vest looks very sexy. The action scenes are as clean as ever.
Then there is Xia Yu! What a big surprise! The big golden teeth are simply alive! Philistine, shrewd, greedy for life and fear of death... My roommate said that she has never read novels, and she can fully describe a "profiteer in Beijing's hutongs". It's just that Xia Yu's golden teeth come and go from time to time. Is there a bug?
Aunt Liu Xiaoqing's highlight is that she speaks English, Chinese, Japanese, Sichuan dialect in one breath, and the audience bursts out laughing!

Finally, how about the sequel? !
(Super hope to shoot Jingjue Ancient City! My favorite part of the book!)
