Special feature of 1905 film network The third part of the series "Ghost Blowing Lights"KunlunjingongAfter a lapse of one year, it finally went online.
The three "touch the gold captain" played by, are assembled again, except for the former director, the others are still the original formula, ensuring the same "taste".
After four episodes were broadcast in the first week of the series, Douban scored a high score of 8.2 directly, and then rose by 0.1 points, making it the highest-rated one-season series at present.
The most exciting thing for both the drama powder and the original powder is that the South China Sea Return to the Market, which is currently being filmed, is still starred by this group of "iron triangles".
The super IP of "Ghost Blowing Lights" has been adapted into several versions in the past. Movies, dramas, online movies and even stage works have different reputations, but this version alone can always get everyone’s infinite expectations.
Only at present, the online drama "Kunlun Temple of God" has been criticized by netizens in various ways. I don’t know if it will affect everyone’s feelings of watching the drama, which will lead to the change of the drama score.
It is undeniable that the whole series of Ghost Blowing Lights can maintain a unified creative team, which is already the best case result for various IP-adapted series of works.
What’s good about Kunlun Temple?
Only four episodes have been broadcast, why can "Kunlun Temple of God" be directly recognized by 8.3 points?selfLongling Mystery CaveSince then, this series has always done its utmost to restore the original works.
Regardless of the content of surprise and adventure, the gag of the iron triangle has always been the main attraction in the original book. In this series, these contents have been preserved as much as possible. Especially after the running-in of the first two works, the tacit understanding among the three actors, Pan Yueming, Yuqi Zhang and Jiang Chao, has already been highly adapted to the roles.
At the beginning of Kunlun Temple, the interaction between the three directly drew the audience back to this relationship.
Although it is a series of dramas, Kunlun Temple of God has not designed too many thresholds for watching dramas, which can make the audience who come into contact with this IP for the first time naturally close to it. For the audience who came along with Longling Cave, they can easily find the first two eggs in this work.
What is the Kunlunjingong about?"Iron Triangle" inYunnan Worm ValleyDuring the experience, I found a bead of dust — — Legend has it that they were infected with erythema for some reason in Longling Cave. But they didn’t know how to use the life-saving artifact. Hu Bayi remembered his early experience as a soldier in Kunlun Mountain. At this time, shirley Yang found trace elements in the dust beads through scientific instruments.
So, the trip to Tibet started. The main line of the story is very simple, but all kinds of experiences on the way to adventure add excitement to the whole story.
This has to be compared with the level of the two previous works, Longling Cave and Yunnan Worm Valley.The former scored 8.1 points so far, while the latter scored only 6.1 points, barely passing. The problem that causes the big difference between the two seasons lies in the adaptation itself.
Although the first two works are close to the original works in adaptation, they are still often criticized by writers for making various additions without reason. The beauty of the series Ghost Blowing Lights lies in how the "Iron Triangle" helps each other to overcome various difficulties. However, in the adaptation of the series, in order to promote the development of the story, a wave of opposites is added for no reason to complete the adventure process together.
Longling Cave is relatively good, because the characters Ma Dadan and Li Chunlai, who only "live" in the oral part of the original work, have become the villains who run through the whole situation, completing the contradiction and confrontation in the drama.
Moreover, for a drama series with adventure action theme, Longling Cave adjusts the order of "going to the tomb", ensures the flow and three-act structure of the drama, and enriches the content of the original work.
Under this adaptation, although many fans still spit out and even expressed their dissatisfaction, from the perspective of a wider audience, this twists and turns of the story still fits the current rhythm of watching the drama.
When it comes to "Yunnan Worm Valley", this creative way of increasing characters has not been restrained because of the fans’ previous spit, on the contrary, it has intensified.
In this season’s story, many villagers who have nothing to do with the original work have been added, which makes the rhythm of the story more protracted. The advantages of the adaptation of the previous work have not been continued. On the contrary, the story is simply told in a flat way, which makes the whole story look bleak and powerless, makes the wonderful story in the original work more dull, and makes the suspense and tension even more difficult to find.
Not only that, the relationship between the "iron triangle" is not as interesting as when the previous work was just assembled. On the contrary, it inexplicably added too many ambiguous emotions of Hu Bayi and shriley Yang, breaking the harmony of the "iron triangle" relationship.
With the feedback from the adaptation of the first two films, from the current four episodes, Kunlun Temple seems to have achieved its strengths and avoided its weaknesses.
Of course, in this novel, the story of a group of nine people entering Lamill is not enough for writers and directors to add too many characters. It’s just that the duration of the single episode is half an hour, and the capacity of only 16 episodes, it remains to be seen what the team will delete from the original content.
Not only that, after four episodes, the team has not yet entered the core of the destination, which makes people worry about whether it will be as slow as the previous one. It’s just too early to worry or praise for Kunlun Temple.
Where did the online drama "Ghost Blowing Lights" win?
As mentioned earlier, there are a large number of literary and artistic works adapted from Ghost Blowing the Lamp.In terms of movies, there have been successful cases before.Searching for dragonsHowever, the follow-up works, like "pie", have been mentioned over and over again in Wanda’s various strategies, and there is no following. It’s just clear that the directorWu ErshanWill not return to directing, but byChen Kun; Aloys Chen、Shu Qi; Hsu Kei、Hsu ChiandBo HuangThe "iron triangle" composed of it is also difficult to reunite.
Assuming that without the blessing of the original team, as a series of works, it will eventually lose its original flavor.
The director that Huayi once found filmed Yunnan Worm Valley, Longling Cave and Kunlun Temple of God in the form of a set of filming.
The film was filmed by a group of new actors, and finally "Yunnan Worm Valley" was released at the end of 2018, with Douban 3.2 points; "Longling Cave" was directly streamed online after four years, and its reputation was only 3.3 points; As for "Kunlun Temple of God", there is no follow-up news.
To a great extent, the adaptation of the non-line version of the story is almost reduced to the state of magic change, where the outstanding adventure is robbed by love, and the actors are hard to fit in with the character temperament.The copyright of Huayi version comes from the Dreamer Film behind it. In fact, we can see the confusion of the copyright ownership of Ghost Blowing the Lamp before.
The novel began to be serialized in qidian in the early years, and in that era when IP copyright awareness was not clear enough, it eventually spread everywhere. With the progress of the follow-up industries, especially the acquisition of qidian by Tencent’s Reading Group, the film and television industry has developed more organically, and the copyrights have returned one by one.
In the end, Tencent, Dreamer and Wanda reached an agreement to hand over the adaptation of the series of novels of Ghost Blowing Lights to Tencent. Before Longling Mystery Cave, Tencent handed over Jingjue Ancient City to Noon Sunshine for production, but it was a pity that it did not continue to create.
As a result, Tencent cooperated with Seven Impressions and took the lead in shooting the prequel of Ghost Blowing Lights series, Angry Xiangxi. Pan Yueming played Chen Yulou, and the partridge whistle appeared in today’s Kunlun Temple.
The success of "Angry Sunny Xiangxi" has promoted the follow-up in-depth cooperation between the two.
Thus, in 2020, the iron triangle of Pan Yueming, Yuqi Zhang and Jiang Chao was assembled for the first time, and Longling Mystery Cave was completed. At the end of the series, the drama revealed that three actors had signed three series, and this year, in the press conference, they said that they had signed five series in one breath. In addition to the filming of "Return to the Market in the South China Sea", they will also star in the later "Wuxia Coffin Mountain".
Obviously, whether the IP universe can really take shape, the unity of the main creation is an important key.
As far as the current drama series "Ghost Blowing Lights" is concerned, on the premise that the script adaptation is as close to the original as possible, the actors are willing to accompany the audience to grow up together, which is the most valuable situation in the current drama market in China. Looking at the overseas drama market, those that have passed season by season are becoming classics in the hearts of netizens.
When the actor and the role are really equated, the soul is really injected into the work and the actor.
Perhaps, it is still too early to judge the quality of "Kunlun Temple of God", but for this kind of companion drama, the audience expects it and hopes that it will produce more possibilities.
