In the current bustling film and television world, a controversial work "Genting Heavenly Palace" has attracted widespread attention. This isn't the first time that the Tomb Raider Notes series has been challenged by an adaptation, but this time, the audience's verbal criticism seems to have reached new heights. The comment area has become a collective place for complaining, and people can't help but wonder what is so peculiar about this controversial work that it can reach the top ten in many online dramas and cause heated controversy?
Among the voices of criticism, some people accused the casting of impropriety, some criticized the perfunctory plot, and some questioned the special effects. Even, the starring Bai Shu released "Disclaimer" before the broadcast, which seems to be mentally prepared for the upcoming storm. In this sea of abuse, the audience expressed their disappointment with Bai Shu, the actor of Wu Xie, and for a while, the comment area became a chaotic battlefield.
However, perhaps it was in this strong response that "Genting Heavenly Palace" attracted even greater attention. What is it about this much-maligned work that has caused such a sensation in such a short period of time?How did it repeatedly refresh the hot search in the audience's criticism, which made people puzzled and curious?Perhaps, we need to revisit this controversial film and television work from a different perspective and discover its unusual charm.
Reinterpreting Genting Heavenly Palace:
Genting Heavenly Palace is not a widely recognized adaptation of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", but perhaps it is in this unusual situation that the audience will discover that this is not an ordinary tomb robbery drama, but a work that combines strong comedy elements. Audiences may have misunderstood the work and positioned it as the worst "Tomb Robbery Notes", but they failed to find the comedic inspiration contained in it.
First of all, for the creation of the "Iron Triangle" trio, the audience may be too obsessed with the original book's setting of the character's appearance and personality. However, in "Genting Heavenly Palace", this time the Iron Triangle is a cast combination full of comedic elements. Bai Shu's interpretation of Wu Xie may be different from the well-known image, but it is through the subversive creation of the characters that they successfully show the root of comedy, that is, subversion.
Wu Xie played by Bai Shu, from appearance to personality attributes, almost subverted the original book and the audience's traditional perception of him. This kind of comedy technique is powerful and too fierce in the performance of the actors, but it is also to show the audience a deeper comedy charm. As a result, the audience may not be able to truly understand the crew's intentions when criticizing the actors' performances.
Secondly, the way the plot is adapted and developed is also worth revisiting. The audience's questioning of the plot may be a disappointment of expectations of the traditional plot framework, but this is the tradition that "Genting Heavenly Palace" is trying to break. The crew boldly tried multi-genre hybrid plot development, skillfully integrating elements such as fantasy, thriller, and spy warfare, making it impossible for the audience to develop in the next step. This kind of eclectic plot arrangement is one of the characteristics of comedy, which is empty, ethereal, and full of absurdity.
Finally, the way the special effects scenes are handled echoes the style of comedy. The audience may regard the special effects in the play as a flaw, but they fail to understand the ingenuity of the crew. Through the clever use of special effects, the crew made the scene an environment that was both absurd and absurd, fully demonstrating the ingenuity of comedy. Here, the earthy taste is not a mistake of the crew, but a deliberately pursued comedic effect.
