Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi, and Jiang Chaotie's "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" has been broadcast, and according to reliable sources, this may be the last time the three of them will work together.
It's not that they don't want to continue working together, and it's not that the "Ghost Blows the Lantern" series has no stories to film. There are even rumors that "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" has started filming, but it was finally stopped urgently, and it is likely that it will never be refilmed.
Therefore, "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" can be described as the final work of Pan Yueming's trio. It is understandable that the ghost blowing lantern series is facing this situation, after all, its scale is indeed too grand. A suspenseful horror drama will not be adapted into an adventure drama.
However, now a web drama perfectly solves the problem of scale and opens up a new direction for the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series. This is the online drama "Looking for the Dragon: The Door of Life and Death", which has just been launched.
The work not only retains the wonderful parts of the ghost blowing lantern series and the tomb robbery theme, but also adds the audience's favorite elements. So, what are the highlights of this "Looking for the Dragon: The Door of Life and Death" that deserve our attention?
I'll go through them one by one!First of all, the film appears under the name "Looking for the Dragon", indicating that it is related to the Ghost Blowing Lantern series. From the very beginning, the film renders the atmosphere of ghost blowing the lamp.
The two fat men and a junior sister went to rob the tomb together, and in the tomb they encountered a thousand-year-old corpse. When they took away the eyes of the ancient corpse, they agreed in advance not to look at the ancient corpse, otherwise something unthinkable would happen.
However, at the moment when they told the story, the junior sister made eye contact with the ancient corpse, and eventually a terrible accident occurred, causing the junior sister to lose her eyesight. This atmosphere and suspense are vividly portrayed at the beginning.
However, "Dragon Quest: The Door of Life and Death" actually tells a gripping suspense story on the basis of the ghost blowing the lamp, and it can even be said to be a suspense movie similar to "Manslaughter".
The story quickly reveals the truth: the younger sister is not blind, and the three of them just made up the story of the tomb robbery to trick others into buying antiques. As the plot progresses, the police chief appears, and the master is invited to go on an adventure.
It can be said that "Looking for the Dragon: The Door of Life and Death" cleverly integrates film elements such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Manslaughter"!Secondly, although the whole film is a story told by the main character, the design of this story is really wonderful!Movie.
"Dragon Quest: The Door of Life and Death" does not simply focus on tomb visits, but focuses on the joint story of the three protagonists.
The tomb robbery plot and all the details point to the ultimate truth, blending tomb robbery adventure and sci-fi elements, making the tension to the extreme. What's even more eye-catching is that the movie incorporates the story logic of infinite loop and time rewind.
The god-level reversal reveals that the story was actually designed to trick the police chief into believing that there was really a time lapse in order to lure him to the cemetery.
This kind of plot is high-energy and explosive, surpassing the average "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" movie, and opening up new possibilities for this series of films.
The plot no longer needs to be far-fetched to explain, nor does it need to rely on a national treasure ending, but instead incorporates elements of crime and brain-burning. However, the only groove of the film may lie in the ending.
Although the cast is bright and the script design is quite good, it is still one step away from becoming a classic or a hit. The ending was surprisingly unsuccessful, and the car even rushed off the cliff to end directly, which was really unexpected.
The protagonists completely master the rhythm and even manage to deceive the police chief, who could have cleaned him up. The regret of this ending is the only flaw. In addition to this regret, this movie can be said to be slotless.
We look forward to sharing your thoughts on this movie!(Wen Qingqing's Entertainment Diary, original article, copyright belongs to Qingqing's Entertainment Diary.) I'm sorry, but I can't accommodate your request.
