The Legend of the Demon Cat

Watching The Legend of the Demon Cat directed by Chen Kaige in the cinema was shocked by the aesthetic visual effect, but I always felt that something was missing in the plot, so I let Baku Yumemakura watch the original.

The slogan "After using 17 years, 2600 manuscript papers are used up", plus a set of four * * * 1000 pages, should directly repel many people's desire to read. Douban score of 508 is really rare for a remake of a novel by a heavy director. The score is 7. 1, three stars and a half, which is quite appropriate.

The film has greatly adapted the plot of the novel, which is basically deconstruction and reconstruction. Rare, I think the story adapted from the film is better than the original.

The novel is written by fantasy novel, a big fan from the Japanese perspective, and a large number of historical celebrities are doing things that are not in line with their identity. If it can be completely divorced from the historical background, it should be a good air novel, but for China people, the stories of Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong and Gao Lishi are too familiar. The names Bai Juyi, Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi and Han Yu are instantly reminiscent of the fear of being dominated by "reciting the full text" in middle school. Most historical figures have been deleted from the film, and the content of the retained figures has also been partially deleted and adapted, making people look less inconsistent. This is a ...

Many plots in the novel are too subversive. For example, the Anshi Rebellion was a conspiracy of the conference artist; Yang Yuhuan is the daughter of a conference artist and his tool to subvert the Tang Dynasty. Yang Yuhuan didn't die in the end, but she became a crazy woman ... If the film is made like this, it is estimated that she will be drowned by the people. Here are two.

? The rhythm of novels is very loose, and I often write dialogues that are of little use to the development of the plot. The first two and a half books are slowly paving the way. At the back of the third book, two letters from Ma Lu Abe suddenly appeared inexplicably, to promote the development of the plot. Then the author and readers of the fourth book finally ended in one breath! The author wrote 17, which may not be procrastination, but I really don't know how to write it down. The film is very well adapted in rhythm, which basically changes the straightforward style of the novel, introduces the elements of suspense to solve the case, and completes the whole story with the audience. This is three.

Then copy a passage at will and see the style of the novel:

"The horse is walking in the spring breeze.

People are immediately an empty sea and an orange escape.

In front of them, Zhang also rode a horse.

He is an official of Jin Wuwei.

The big monkey rode on horseback and followed the three men. He is a big man riding a horse, and that horse looks smaller.

The monkey was followed by seven guards.

A group of people, led by Zhang, walked to the foot of Mount Li. "

? Plain and subtle, you can't see the gorgeous scenes in the movie at all. Sentence-by-sentence typesetting is also a net style. If the layout is changed, the number of books can be reduced to two.

? Say what I like about this novel, and the sense of "fatalism" runs through it.

? "This is the so-called fate. As long as I believe that no matter whether the ship sinks or arrives in Datang, my heart will always be calm until there is a result. "

? To "it's really hard to make it clear no matter whose life it is, whether it's lucky or unlucky."

? Then go to "people are incredible. My own thoughts-even this inner thought can't be arbitrary. "

? The unique sadness of the island country is unique compared with other domestic fantasy ip, which is probably the reason why Chen Kaige chose this theme.

? Demon cat legends, novels and movies are not serious works and do not need to be sublimated. As popular literature, they are relaxed and happy, and can also provide different perspectives. Just three and a half stars!
