How to evaluate the movie "Embroidering Spring Knife to Fix the Battlefield"?

Yang Lu's Embroidered Spring Knife 2: Shura Battlefield was released. I still remember the surprise brought by Embroidered Spring Knife three years ago: Zhang zhen, Wang Qianyuan and Ethan played the role of Royal Guards, depicting the story of three little people struggling for their fate in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the dark world, eunuchs are rampant, and flesh and blood figures have a wonderful and handsome fight, which brings people back to the martial arts era.

Of course, Zhang zhen has made a lot of fans again.

After four years of planning, even the audience almost forgot the plot of the first part. Luyang launched the series of embroidered spring knives, but accurately speaking, this is a prequel to embroidered spring knives, which is an independent article. You can watch it directly without watching the first part.

Unlike shooting Embroidered Spring Knife with a small budget of 30 million yuan in hand, Embroidered Spring Knife 2 gives people an obvious feeling that the crew is rich!

Both clothing and weapons have been upgraded again, and the appearance is so beautiful that every frame looks like a painting.

The scene where I first met Zhang zhen Yang Mi in the rain was so beautiful in the movie. Is it as good as Makoto Shinkai's "The Court of Words and Leaves"?

Similar to the first movie "A Life as Miserable as an Ant", the absolute protagonist of this movie is still played, but his surviving brother is replaced by Lu played by Zhang Yi and Pei Lun played by him.

Like the first movie, I like workshop director Zhou. In this prequel, Shen Lian's sweetheart is the painter Bei Zhai (Yang Mi) wanted by the Royal Guards. I have to say that Yang Lu is an excellent male dramatist. He is good at shooting the blood and passion between men, but he is still weak in the emotional drama between men and women.

Therefore, Yang Mi's role in the film, like Zhou played by Liu Shishi, is more like a functional role, responsible for making bugs, involving and promoting the development of the story.

In this film, Zhang zhen's portrayal of Shen Lian is still very good-looking, licking blood, and being forced by the status quo, she stubbornly rushes out a way to survive.

The role of Shen Lian is not an absolutely positive image. He has a very complicated side. In order to survive, he worked as a security guard. Every day, he fights and kills.

But for the sake of the emotional world in Beizhaikou, he will try his best to change it;

Beizhai is sick and has a fever. Shen Lian gave her hot water to reduce her fever. The line says, "It's not hot, I'm cold." It's too gentle. It's a foul.

In the night scene chasing in the rain, the two looked at each other across the alley. Shen Lian gave the book to Beizhai and asked her to run away to find her lover, which was also a very touching scene.

So the biggest bug in this drama should be why the heroine always doesn't love Shen Lian! ! !

Director Yang Lu once said in a roadshow interview that Shen Lian, played by Zhang zhen, is handsome, has good martial arts, likes painting and calligraphy, and has a cat. If everything is too perfect to be true, let him be incomplete in love.

Therefore, in the words of the director, Shen Lian will spare a spare tire for his old age.

In this play, the role is more functional, and the director skillfully reduces her lines and action scenes as much as possible, so that Yang Mi can be a classical beautiful girl quietly and not let people play too much.

Unlike the first travel-stained week, Beizhai was a recluse scholar in troubled times, with the character of an intellectual.

She was sold as a lean horse when she was young. She drowned herself and was stubborn. She is introverted. Although she is afraid of death, she is willing to sacrifice herself to save her friend at the critical moment.

In the last scene of the drawbridge war, Beizhai escaped with the help of Shen Lian Perrin, but came back because he didn't want to escape alone. Although this scene highlights the decline of the writer's IQ, we can still feel Beizhai's childlike heart for Shen Lian and see Yang Mi's progress from Yang Mi's hesitation and firmness.

Lei Jiayin, who walked next door to My First Half of Life, was a surprise of this movie.

When I made my debut for the first time, I befriended Shen Lian, ate snacks, and looked like a smirk. In the later scene, I recorded my knowledge in the impermanence book and dipped my subordinates' saliva in ink, which instantly brought the role of Pei Lun to life.

Perrin went to Jinghai, a monk, to investigate the whereabouts of calligraphy and painting in Beizhai. By stealing the concept, he framed Jinghai's words as "Lindong rebels who collect calligraphy and painting in Beizhai are good people" and recorded them in the impermanence book.

This scene is the most horrible scene in the whole film, which instantly presents a world in which black and white are reversed and everyone is afraid of himself.

The sea of tranquility, which used to cover for Shen Lian, was like a deflated ball at once.

Perrin also treated Shen Lian because of a friendship, and then the brotherly friendship between them, both enemies and friends, made the role of Perrin more complicated and interesting.

This is Lei Jiayin's amazing performance on the big screen again after The Golden Robbery. There are even many Zhang zhen fans who intend to give up Zhang zhen and become Lei Jiayin.

Lu played by Zhang Yi is also a very popular figure. This is also the first time that Zhang Yi made her debut in ancient costume, sketching out a chess piece image that in order to survive and change the world, she did not hesitate to condescend to a treacherous court official like Wei Zhongxian, and was reduced to giving up morality.

Zhang Yi's performance is still somewhat different from the past, and he is completely different from Shen Lian played by Zhang zhen. Zhang Yi restored the down-and-out side of the little people, bowed to the powerful, and switched to become a pawn who sacrificed everything for the ideal, which made people feel uncomfortable and gave birth to many sighs.

Ding, played by Xin in the film, also makes people shine, and the image of a chivalrous woman is vivid. When her master ordered the killing of Beizhai, she was very entangled and hesitant. Because of her faith and respect for the love of Beizhai, it was from this moment that she began to doubt her master and knew her next fate.

Finally, the image of still fighting is missing, which is also bloody and comic.

Many people know the new Lei Zhi from the map of the Yangtze River. In "Embroidered Spring Knife 2: Shura Battlefield", her literary temperament similar to that of Hao Lei turned into a chivalrous spirit with sharp eyes and high martial arts.

Ding is the master with Ding Xiu in the previous work. Her image in this "Shura Battlefield" is eye-catching, and the fighting scene of Ethan's apprentice is also clean and graceful.

Jin Shijie, who made few appearances, continued to play the role of nine-year-old Wei Zhongxian in the first film.

However, unlike the first film, Wei Zhongxian in this film is glamorous and has a relaxed facial expression, which makes people feel oppressive.

At the end, forbearance and unwillingness make people contact his ultimate fate in the first film.

There is also an egg at the end of the film, which explains the appearance of your long-awaited eldest brother Ding Xiu (Zhou Yiwei) and connects this prequel with the first one. Maybe the third one is Ding Xiuchuan? After all, that handsome and hot-blooded big brother has circled so much powder.

The Douban score of this sequel is currently 7.7, which may continue to rise according to word-of-mouth visual inspection. After all, the sharp embroidered switchblade and gorgeous flying fish suit are carefully done in every detail of the movie, and the audience who hope to see a good movie will not want to miss it.

The previous work "Embroidered Spring Knife" scored 7.5 douban. Admittedly, there are some shortcomings in this sequel, such as weak plot logic and far-fetched characters' motives, but the whole film is still full of bright spots:

Exquisite costumes, all kinds of interesting weapons, reference to Japanese comics, location and fighting scenes make people enjoy more visually, injecting fresh elements into the martial arts films of the new era, which makes people feel very interesting.

It is easy to fight the country, but difficult to protect the family. Although the word-of-mouth of the sequel has declined, Embroidered Spring Knife 2 can still maintain its original word-of-mouth and even increase, which also shows the audience's recognition of this attitude of respecting the audience and making movies seriously.

After all, the audience is not stupid.
