The ending of "Longling Labyrinth" was ridiculed: In order to be able to be played, no logic is ignored
Yesterday, Pan Yueming's version of "The Mystery of Longling" came to its finale. Today was supposed to arouse a lot of discussion. Who would have thought that one after another, "multiplayer sports" and "time management" would remain on the hot searches for a long time, causing the last trace of the drama to fade away? . But how could Hezijun be tempted by these external forces? They eat melon, and we watch our drama.
The story of "Longling Mysterious Cave" is very short in the original work. It is difficult to make the scene exciting, so it is really rare to achieve the current results. On Douban, it is difficult to get a rating of 8.3 for a domestic online drama, but "Longling Labyrinth" did it, and judging from the high-production episodes at the end, it is expected to rise even higher. So is it worth the score? Today Mr. Hezi will analyze it for you.
Hezijun is a die-hard fan of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series. He has read the novel more than once, so it is inevitable that he will view the adaptation from the perspective of the original work. However, the content of "Longling Mysterious Cave" in the original work is really a bit useless. Although it cannot be discarded, it is indeed not as exciting as other chapters. So since it is an adaptation, it is not good to ask the crew to follow the original work, otherwise no one will watch it and make money. , how to shoot down?
As a fan of the original work, all I want from the drama is to restore the characters’ personalities. For example, Hu Bayi, played by Pan Yueming, is usually playful and skittish, but at critical moments he is brave and resourceful, decisive and decisive in his actions, and he values friendship and loyalty. He is well versed in the principle of "doing your best and obeying destiny". It's a pity that the difference lies in his figure and military temperament. Hu Bayi's military career spans more than 10 years, and every move he makes should have some trace of a soldier. This cannot be seen in Teacher Pan. As for his figure, Teacher Pan has already reflected on himself and hopes he can improve it in the next film.
Wang Kaixuan’s question has been discussed by Hexian Jun before. If you are interested, you can click on the link: Apart from being fat, Jiang Chao is nothing like Wang Kaixuan. In the drama adaptation, Jiang Chao brought life to life Li Dazui, who is greedy for petty gains and quick-tongued, but he is completely different from the real fat man. Of course, the main blame for this has to be laid by the screenwriter. Several films like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are like this, overly highlighting Hu Bayi's personal heroism, but forgetting the importance of the absolute combat power of the fat man in the Iron Triangle.
Zhang Yuqi’s Shirley Yang is quite satisfactory. It should be noted that in the original work, Shirley Yang is a Christian who likes to think about God and would rather sacrifice herself than anyone else's life when necessary. When she lamented Li Chunlai's death, she said "people's hearts are not enough and snakes swallow elephants." She said it a bit harshly and Wei Wei was a bit dramatic.
As mentioned earlier, the content of the original work of "Longling Labyrinth" is a bit thin. In order to make the show more commercial, the screenwriter made drastic adaptations. In the original work, Hu Bayi, Fatty and Da Jinya came to Longling to collect antiques. They also went to the tomb to make money. The biggest gains in the operation were a large piece of fragrant jade and a gold-touching talisman.
After the adaptation, Shirley Yang wanted to come to Longling to find Li Chunfeng's tomb in order to obtain the Dragon Bone Book and get clues to the Muchen Bead. Hu Bayi and others were coerced by the gangsters again and forced to go to the tomb to search for treasure. Characters such as Li Chunlai and Ma Daudao were minor characters that were not worth mentioning in the original work. However, their roles in the TV series have been significantly increased. Of course, this is all to highlight the wisdom and courage of the protagonists and to extend the plot.
The crew also took great pains to meet the broadcast requirements. At the end, everyone got the Dragon Bone Book and saw the light again, and unexpectedly encountered the people's police. The police first took away Ma Bingdao, who had killed all his brothers and lost everything, and asked Hu Bayi, Fatty, Da Jinya and Shirley Yang to leave on their own with the underworld weapon (Dragon Bone Book). The operation was really Tianxiu... .
Let’s talk about the tomb mechanism. When Partridge Whistle and Elder Liao Chen went to the Tongtian Buddhist Temple, the blades were a little perfunctory; when Hu Ba visited Li Chunfeng's tomb, the mercury level at the beginning was also a bit boring. I understand, just watching Hu Bayi move his hands a few times in the end; as for the Hanging Soul Ladder, it was a bit creepy when I read the novel, but when a group of people stood together to break through the level, they were not so scared.
Even so, I still think "The Mystery of Longling" is the most thoughtful of all tomb-robbing dramas.
First of all, it has the most mechanism scenes, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources; secondly, the last Jiugong Bagua mechanism is so conscientious, with one link inside the other, solving puzzles and creating dangers at the same time, which made the audience hooked.
In "The Secret of the Dragon" starring Chen Kun, Hu Bayi always uses gossip to talk about things, but his downfall is that he only uses gossip to ask for directions. In the end, it seems quite easy to open the coffin and twist the key. ; and "Longling Labyrinth" is more like a game between Hu Bayi and his predecessors. He first uses Go to explore the path and shows that peace is the most important thing, and then uses the Nine Palaces and Bagua to test the ability of the challenger. After passing the test, the treasure is presented, which is not a problem at all. Don't be sloppy.
Even Hu Bayi said that this senior was very particular and did not put the Dragon Bone Book in the coffin, just waiting for future generations to pick it up. Since no one has opened the coffin, it is not known whether it is Li Chunfeng's tomb. In this way, even those who have strict requirements on film and television can't say that it disrespects history.
If you look at it from the perspective of a fan of the original work, Mr. Hezi believes that "Longling Labyrinth" has passed the passing line, but it should not reach a high score of 8.3. But there is a contrast in everything. In the past two years, there have been a proliferation of adapted dramas on the theme of tomb robbing, and there are countless shoddy ones. Most of them are just for fame and fortune, regardless of the audience's feelings. It is rare to have a crew with online acting skills and a conscientious production to seriously film this big IP. With the current level of domestic film and television, it is impossible to produce a series of masterpieces like "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings", but the audience also hopes that the crew can show sincerity in making works. Therefore, it is not excessive to give "The Mysterious Cave of Longling" a score of 8 or above. It is not only a compliment to the staff, but also an encouragement to people in the film and television industry.
Surprisingly, the original team is already producing "Yunnan Worm Valley" and has also released a trailer. Are you looking forward to it?
