How do you evaluate Zhang Xinyu's "The Battle of the Holy Buddha: Tears of the Great Sage"?

In recent years, movies about "Monkey King" have been released almost every year, with different perspectives and mixed reviews. Recently, "The Tears of the Great Sage" starring Zhang Xinyu and Pakho Chau was released.

The movie changes the previous plot and interprets a fantasy love story from a novel perspective.

Based on the theme of the classic, innovative plot design, new viewing experience

As a classic, "Journey to the West" is a story that everyone is familiar with. In recent years, many screenwriters have created many new animations and movies based on this, but to be fair, most of the films based on "Journey to the West" are relatively dull, and the plots are very similar.

However, "The Tears of the Great Sage Who Defeats the Buddha" takes a brand-new perspective and unfolds the story with Lucky Star and Sun Wukong knowing each other and falling in love. It is ingenious and adapts the common and cliched plot into something else. The content gives the audience a more novel experience.

As classic works continue to be remade, there will inevitably be similar plots and no new ideas. Therefore, in-depth exploration and innovative plot design based on classic works have become the key to the success of the movie. .

"The Tears of the Great Sage: The Fighting Buddha" has made attempts and efforts in innovation, interpreting it from a novel angle and innovative plot, and re-creating classic works that are popular among the people. Create and continuously deliver content for IP. This provides a great case for future filmmaking and exploration.

The special effects of the film are exquisite, and the fighting scenes are smooth and natural

This film is a new plot based on the classic work "Journey to the West", but the main characters and story background still rely on the classic work of.

As a representative novel of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "Journey to the West" has a strong fantasy color. Therefore, the film is required to render special effects for the characters and abilities in the film. From this aspect, Taomeng Pictures' special effects are not bad, and they can combine special effects with the plot so that the whole picture does not look obtrusive.

At the same time, the director of this film is an extremely excellent special effects director. Relying on a large number of martial arts plots and the use of special effects, it brought a great visual impact to the audience and directly touched the hearts of the audience.

Three people supported a movie and presented a grand plot with a limited number of actors

There are only three actors with surnames in this film, namely Tang Seng and Sun Wukong And lucky stars. It can be said that the character setting is extremely limited, but the expressiveness of the entire film has not been reduced due to the reduction in the number of actors, and the expressiveness of emotions is relatively good.

Although having fewer roles can make the plot clearer, this method also extremely tests the acting skills of actors. Especially for actors like Zhang Xinyu who play two roles, they need good acting skills to be able to control the roles. . Fortunately, the acting skills of the three actors did not drop, especially Zhang Xinyu's performance was particularly exciting.

It is undeniable that it is more difficult to reduce actors and show a deep thought with limited resources, but this approach of reducing many unnecessary resources and focusing on deeply exploring emotions is also the future of online movies. way out. At least we are pursuing quality, not making movies randomly.

Taomeng Pictures' "Dou Zhan" series has been upgraded, continuing the "Dou Zhan" IP series, forming a closed-loop packaging for the entire industry

"Dou Zhan: Tears of the Great Sage" is a new product of Tao Meng Film The second film about Journey to the West produced by Taomeng Pictures, the first was "Monkey King: The Mountain of Fire". It can be said that Taomeng Pictures has made Journey to the West into a series and upgraded and perfected the "Dou Zhan" series. .

This way of continuing IP is also a good way, forming a closed-loop packaging for the entire industry, perfecting the industry, and promoting the quality of online movies. This is beneficial to today's online movies. After all, the quality of products in the online movie industry is uneven and there is an urgent need to improve product quality.

Zhang Xinyu plays a new role with charm, interpreting the sincerity of love with the love of a girl

The roles played by Zhang Xinyu in the past were relatively mature characters, such as Xiao Shufei in "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" , the charming Su Daji, and the cold and elegant Li Mochou. It is relatively rare for such a pure and lovely girl to appear in front of the public in this movie, which makes people feel like they are shining brightly.

As the age gradually increases, a mature woman needs higher acting skills to be able to perform the role of a girl well. In "The Tears of the Great Sage", Zhang Xinyu is the most shining part of the whole movie, completely interpreting the innocent, cute, lively and beautiful "Lucky Star". Lucky star? In fact, it is not really a lucky star, it is just the ability to make your wishes come true. She is formed by a ray of resentment. She has lived in her own "wishful thinking fairyland" for a long time. Her innocence and cuteness have been formed because she has no contact with external things.

When she came out of Wonderland, she had been struggling with whether to leave with Sun Wukong because she was afraid that Sun Wukong would deceive her and leave her comfort zone.

In fact, there are many such scenes in love. You will be entangled and afraid, but these are the same as "all your wishes come true". Everything is your own. Only when you break through what you think can you bravely take the next step and make a choice. Only then can you truly experience love.

The reason why Lucky Star turned black and chose to incorporate the resentful spirit into her body was because she felt that Sun Wukong had deceived her, and that the good things Sun Wukong had brought to her were all to take away her. heart of mortals. In order to save his master, Lucky Star chose not to let Sun Wukong's wish come true.

But in fact, Sun Wukong also wants Lucky Star to be good. He loves Lucky Star and hopes that Lucky Star can be liberated. He always keeps her simple and hopes that she can be happy. However, a simple lucky star cannot think of this, so he becomes angry. This kind of contradictory and torn emotional entanglement is the most attractive part of the movie.

In fact, in reality, people who are close to each other will also have misunderstandings and white lies. But when you have these misunderstandings and expose the lies, what will you do?

At the end of the movie, Sun Wukong sacrifices himself to save Lucky Star and achieve his own success. And although we don't have the chance to become a victorious Buddha, we can at least be sincere, loyal to love, and sincere to our lover.

Zhang Xinyu's performance in the movie is wonderful, vividly showing the girl's madness for love, and deeply explaining what sincerity of love is.

All in all, the movie does have many problems, but we can see the innovation and hard work of the film crew, and Zhang Xinyu's performance and special effects production are worthy of recognition. Even if the film is not very successful, it at least provides lessons for future progress.
