Chapter 458 The Monkey Calls The King

All edited down, the whole film lasts for more than two hours, which is definitely a long story.What is rare is that the director uses three story lines, the protagonist defends Kim Soo-hong in the underworld, and tracing the cause of his death is a secondary line;
Jieyuanmai and Li Dechun calling Xu Sanchun in Yangjian is the second secondary line;

The past life of the main character, Jie Yuanmai and Li Dechun is the third one, which is the main line of the film.The three lines echo each other, weaving the complex relationship between the characters in the world, the underworld, and the house gods.

The protagonist escorts Kim Soo-hong to stand trial in the underworld, defending him vigorously for his unjust death.In this sub-line, we know that the protagonist has lived for thousands of years with the memory of his previous life, and told the story of his previous life in the process of breaking through levels and fighting monsters in the underworld.

At the same time, Jie Yuanmai and Li Dechun were sent to the underworld to carry out the task of receiving Xu Sanchun to the underworld, and the second secondary line started.

In the underworld, the two met the God of Creation who protected Xu Sanchun, and found that they had known them thousands of years ago, but their memories of their previous lives had been erased.Under questioning by the two, Cheng Zuoshen told the story of their past lives.

In the interludes of the two sub-lines, the main line of the past life stories of the protagonist, Jie Yuanmai and Li Dechun is introduced.The god of creation plays the role of succession and transformation in the film.He is the narrator of past life stories, and also the clue connecting the worlds of yin and yang.

The first two-thirds of the plot are spent preparing for the relationships and emotional entanglements between the characters, resulting in a somewhat abrupt transition between the three story lines.Multi-line narrative is not easy to express, and it is difficult to make a good film.The previous life story took place during the war between Goryeo and the Jurchen tribe. The relationship between the protagonist, Jie Yuanmai and Li Dechun followed a typical Korean routine.

During the filming process, the manga has not explained the past life of the protagonist. The director changed the protagonist to General Goryeo, the elder brother who relieved the grudges, and finally killed the younger brother because of jealousy.Make the relationship between the members of the underworld team more complicated.This kind of setting increases the viewability of the movie, and guides the audience to analyze the plot through different story lines. This onion-style expression method can still arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.

I heard from the screenwriter that when filming the first film, the concept of the movie universe had already been conceived.The small details and foreshadowing all reveal ambition.In the first film, Jin Xiuhong refused to return with Yin Cha because of his unjust death. He turned into a ghost and fought with the protagonist in a residential area. They passed by an old man.

Later, in the hospital, the old man meets the protagonist. He is Xu Sanchun, who is guarded by the God of Creation in the second part.

This kind of foreshadowing also has a pulse to relieve grievances. His weapon is a pair of knives, and he is an absolute output player in the Yinchai team.And the relationship between him and the protagonist in the underworld is almost brotherly.These characteristics are the foreshadowing of the second part of the two people's past life story.

In the previous life, the protagonist's son inherited his father's career and became a general; Jie Yuanmai is the most feared white wolf by the Jurchens.

There are even two easter eggs at the end of the second part. The first one is that Jin Xiuhong is expected to become the new subordinate of Yan Luo Wang, and the second easter egg explains the true identity of Yan Luo Wang.

It can be said that it is the end of the second series of works and the opening of a new chapter.Whether it's details or easter eggs, they are all integrated on the basis of the previous idea of ​​serializing the film.

The author of the original manga is Zhou Haoyu, and the work was completed in August.There are three seasons in total, namely God's Judgment, God of the Yang World, and Yin Shizhuan.Construct a huge world of ghosts and gods. The three realms communicate with each other, but they also have their own rules and ecological systems.Each character has flesh and blood, with a unique soul and character.

There are far more characters in the original book than in the movie. For example, in the original book, Yama’s boss is King Dabie.In the movie, King Yama is the supreme leader of the underworld; the family god system includes not only the god of creation, but also gods such as the kitchen god, toilet god, and door god. Their past and present lives are all mentioned.

The director deliberately chooses and rejects the original story. The comics are not bound by time, and each character can be described, and the relationship between the characters can also be described in detail.

However, due to the time limit of the movie, it is inevitable to consider how to capture the hearts of the audience in a short period of time and extract the essence.

Through the "Walking with the Gods" series, we can see that Korean comic films are gradually moving closer to Hollywood, and want to create a localized and global film universe.

Hollywood Marvel brings superheroes to the world, relying on the universality of its content, which is easily accepted by audiences from all cultural backgrounds.At the same time, the adapted film retains the core values ​​of the original work, and is not superimposed on real life.

The same is true for this series, which closely follows the core of the original work in terms of story.The settings of the underworld and the divine world are always far away from the audience, so realism elements are added to make the film more grounded.

For example, the old house where Xu Sanchun lived in Yangjian all his life was occupied by real estate developers, and gangsters violently drove him away; Cheng Zao Shen used Xu Sanchun's savings to buy funds and stocks, but in the end caught up with the global economic downturn, instead of making money, he lost money.These plots are also traceable in the present.

What Marvel and the "Along with the Gods" series have in common is the zero-threshold output of three perspectives, coupled with the blessing of special effects stars and other elements, it is easy to be recognized by the audience.

However, there is still a big difference between the two movie universes, which is related to the differences in Eastern and Western cultures.The Marvel series is cheerful and unrestrained, with ups and downs in the fate of the characters, who can sprinkle sugar and dare to abuse one's heart.

"Walking with the Gods" is restrained and restrained. Although it talks about the world of ghosts and gods, the characters' emotions and desires rely on reality, and they don't want to be vigorous in their emotions, but only seek a long flow of water.A desperate effort to save the world, a self-salvation.Big love and little family can bring emotional impact and resonance to the audience in some aspects.

The usual plot setting of Korean movies is the battle scene between the Goryeo tribe and the Jurchen tribe. In the eyes of Ding Cheng, this thing has never seemed to be a big deal, at most it is a small border dispute.

From the perspective of normal Chinese people, the reunification of Monday is a matter, the unity of Qin and King is a matter, the Han Dynasty's attack on the west is a matter, the Tang and Song Dynasties are all at ease, the Yuan Dynasty is unbridled, the Ming and Qing Dynasties are great developments, and the others It's not a problem at all.

The incident between the Jurchens and Goryeo is almost like an episode in a movie. The small rhythm in an episode has never been mainstream.

But when it comes to South Korea's own description, it becomes a big event that will destroy the world. This is indeed the ass that determines the field of vision.

Why is there always such a little bit of exception?
Why is the peninsula always absent from China's great historical evolution?
And then an independent attitude to guard?

In fact, it was the desperate struggle with real swords and guns and real and pragmatic strategies that made this small place able to escape.

Resist when there is a conquest, even if it is death, you must resist. This is one thing, and the other is pragmatism.
