This "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea", starring Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi, and Jiang Chao, which the audience has been waiting for for for a long time, has finally been broadcast. 
"The Return of the South China Sea" is adapted from the ** sung by Tianxia Ba, which tells the story of Hu Bayi's plan to go abroad with Shirley Yang, but at this time, he was entrusted by Professor Chen to go to the coral spiral to find the bone mirror of King Qin. Audio-Technica bought a "ghost ship" Trident with powerful facilities but no one dared to use it, and got acquainted with Tanmin Ruan Hei, Gu Chai and Duo Ling's master and apprentice, and went to sea together. As early as during the filming, Pan Yueming said that the filming of the show was very difficult: "Immersive, cold sweat is frequent, I think how can this be filmed!."”
Zhang Yuqi also said that this was the hardest film she filmed, she started work wet every day, and she got sick 4 times during the filming. So, what is the finished effect of such a difficult to shoot "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea"?
Iron Triangle becomes One Piece?If you don't go to the ground, you go to sea insteadThere is a coral spiral sea area that has no return, a ghost ship that is elusive, a ghost ship with a flickering black shadow, all kinds of fantasy underwater creatures, and the bone mirror of King Qin, who no one has ever seen, but is chased by thousands of people, and ...... sleeping in the seaIn the past, most of the expeditions were to go to the ground, or to the jungle and snow mountains, but the uniqueness of "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" is that this time the stage is set on the sea. 
The story of the Iron Triangle is always inseparable from the words "strange" and "dangerous". Let's start with that"Odd".。There are magical creatures: sea snakes, big sand, mermaids, giant octopuses, ......The vivid and realistic effect is scary just by looking at it. This time, there are fewer man-made mechanisms, but all kinds of magical natural phenomena, and there are more underwater creatures. 
There are also rare treasures: giant mussels with pearls hidden in the mussels, pearls as big as ping-pong balls, and a luxury car to buy. 
The colorful and dazzling underwater world, where all kinds of fish swim among the various corals, can be seen to be special effects made with a lot of money. 
On the other hand, the sea is always magnificent and calm, but there are always black clouds following, suggesting a storm that is coming at any time. 
The crowd also unlocked novelty items: a diving bell and an old-fashioned wetsuit. A fantasy ocean adventure map unfolds in front of your eyes.
Let's talk about "risk".
Before going to sea, the atmosphere of danger was already planted. This time, I didn't directly shoot what happened in the Coral Spiral Sea, but through the appearance of a single character, I brought out people's fear of this sea. This has the advantage of allowing the main cast to get to the core of the event faster. Iron Triangle went to rent a boat, only to learn that several batches of salvage teams had gone and never returned. If you want to find a boat, you can only ask the local head snake to fight the force.
They were told the legend of the ghost ship, and it turned out that the ghost ship was built by seven Britons, and all seven of them died on the day of the voyage. To this end, he specially recruited an experienced guide, Ruan Hei. From Ruan Hei's mouth, I learned that this coral spiral can enter but not exit, and it is very dangerous.
But for the sake of money, he took the job anyway. Nguyen Hei was eccentric, he didn't allow people to go near the bottom of the cabin. But at night he sneaked to the bilge to pay tribute to someone. From time to time, a black shadow shook in the bilge, eating all the living creatures that slipped in.
Since then, the atmosphere of horror and suspense has been achieved. Next, the screenwriter basically used the rhythm of episode by episode to hook the audience's curiosity. In the middle of the night, a ghost ship approached and tried to drag their ship to sink, and everyone worked together to rescue them.
I just thought that the wind and waves were calm, but suddenly the magnetic field was disturbed, the compass failed, and the "Trident" lost its way again.
After breaking through the fog, Hu Bayi and the others found the "place of returning to the ruins", so they and Ruan Hei took a diving bell and dived to the bottom of the sea. In the next second, there was a problem with Hu Bayi's diving bell.
Judging from the trailer, these are just appetizers, the Yin Fire at Sea, the Mary Sennu Ruins, the Temple, the Whale Tomb and other scenes will also be unlocked one by one, and the difficulty will also be upgraded.
Audio-Technica character upgrade?The tacit understanding is still there!For big IP adaptations based on the original work, people are often most concerned about 2 points: whether the plot is restored?Does the character stand?The ghost ship scene is the best answer. It is not only visually stimulating, but also the best display of the tacit understanding of the Iron Triangle. On the night of the voyage, a ghost ship carrying plague corpses attacked the Trident in the middle of the night, and Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi went to check on the situation.
When they discover that the ghost ship is a "marking ship" carrying the corpses of the plague, the two quickly escape. Relying on the lifebuoy given by the fat man, Shirley Yang successfully escaped first.
But the wind and waves were too strong, Hu Bayi's rope was torn off, and everyone couldn't stand steadily.
At the critical moment, Shirley Yang threw out his flying claws, and Hu Bayi swung back to the boat.
This paragraph, whether it is the special effects production or the actors' performances, is impeccable. As the waves crashed, the hearts of the audience followed. It not only has the danger of stormy waves, but also clearly shows that the Iron Triangle performs its duties and cooperates properly. What remains unchanged in the Iron Triangle is that it is still tacit. But in "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea", we have seen more of their "changes". First of all, from the appearance, the most intuitive feeling is: thin. Among them, Pan Yueming is **30 pounds, closer to Hu Bayi's image, and has a lot of spirit.
Zhang Yuqi changed to a more capable short hairstyle.
Secondly, in terms of the relationship between the characters, the relationship between Hu Yang and Yang has been sublimated, and they have officially become lovers from comrades-in-arms. Shirley Yang's character design also has a touch of tenderness. After Hu Bayi jumped into the sea to save people, he blamed him for being too impulsive and disregarding his own safety.
On the one hand, because this operation was commissioned by Professor Chen, she and Professor Chen are like father and daughter, so Shirley Yang will feel that Hu Bayi is taking the risk for himself.
On the other hand, she is afraid of losing Hu Bayi and her desire to start a new life with him. Therefore, Shirley Yang showed a different nervousness than before. She has always been a science-minded, and she has also begun to believe in the taboos among fishermen.
Such a change makes Shirley Yang's character more full. Moreover, it did not weaken her force and brain power. In the case where the coral spiral was disoriented and all the guide equipment was out of order, it was Shirley Yang who took out the Si Tian fish to locate it. According to the characteristics of Si Tianyu's head always facing east, he smoothly led everyone out of the fog.
On the other side, Hu Bayi sprinkled rice and oil into the sea to determine where the submarine ruins are.
The two of them "show their own magical powers", which is exactly where Populus euphratica cp is good, they are both comrades-in-arms and lovers, they are evenly matched, and they have their own strengths.
As for the fat man, he is still funny, poor-mouthed, and righteous.
It is worth mentioning that the combat power of the fat man has been improved in this drama.
According to myself, there are many hand-to-hand combat scenes in the later war against the sharks, and I can't wait to see the highlight moments of the fat man.
A new fusion of nautical adventure and Chinese folkloreWhen it comes to nautical adventure stories, we may think of "Pirates of the Caribbean", "One Piece" and so on, but domestic film and television dramas have little involvement in this regard.
As a forerunner, the way of "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" is to combine nautical fantasy adventure with Chinese-style bizarre miscellaneous talk. First of all, it starts with the divination of Chen Blind, bringing out the mysterious atmosphere.
Then use the "Land of Returning to the Ruins" of "Liezi Tangwen" as the background to depict the details.
I have to say that the humanistic and historical richness of the stories sung by the world's tyrants are amazing. He draws heavily on traditional Chinese theories of yin and yang, feng shui, and folklore to expand the boundaries of his imagination. For example, when they bumped into Hu Bayi's "ghost boat", it was actually the "big sand hug" who wanted to get rid of the plague boat on their backs, so they came to rub Hu Bayi's "Trident". In ancient times, when the southeast coast was infected with the plague, the corpses of the sick and dead were put on the old ships made of white paper to expel the plague.
Including the identity of Ruan Hei's master and apprentice in the play, the identity of the three is Tanmin, who makes a living by opening mussels and pearls.
This is also a reference to the life prototype of the Tan people in the coastal areas of Fujian in the old days. After the founding of New China, under the arrangement of **, the Tan people successively settled ashore to live.
These settings make the story of the Iron Triangle, in the grand and treacherous background, have an illusion of truth and falsehood, fiction and reality. Oriental treasures and its historical value, folk customs and the changes of the times behind it.
When the audience watches "The Return of the South China Sea", they are not only watching the current story, but also seeing the big from the small, and the thick Chinese culture. This is also the reason why the story of the Iron Triangle can be different from the story of Western exploration and has endured.
Since 2015, due to copyright and other reasons, Audio-Technica has not had a fixed team. TV series, movies, and Internet universities often end after filming one of them. The combination of Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi, and Jiang Chao can get together to build most of the exploration universe, relying on the high degree of restoration of the original scene, the tacit chemistry of the iron triangle and the fascinating charm of Chinese exploration.
Judging from the plot that has been updated, "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" combines nautical exploration and Chinese folklore this time, and the effect is very good. From the actors, I also saw full sincerity. The stories of the ghost ship and the diving bell incident are laid down, and people have more expectations for the famous scenes such as the discovery of the Mary Sennu and the brave mermaid in the preview.
As the story deepens, the conspiracy of King Qin's bone mirror will also be revealed, which may scare you. Is the fate of Ruan Hei, Duo Ling and others the same as the original book, and what are the adaptations?Looking forward to the next surprise of "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea".
