A: I just finished watching the movie "The Legend of the Demon" to answer this question.
Such a film with only 3 points in Douban is another Jing Wong-style comedy pieced together by various old terrier.
First, first of all, the audience who watched the Stephen Chow 1993 movie Jigong should be able to see at a glance how similar the story frame of Yaoyao is to Jigong.
In addition to dragons and tigers, people in previous lives have basically made great contributions, almost all of which are the same:
There are also the roles of prostitutes, beggars and thieves, which are basically based on demon legends.
Second, Jing Wong will naturally not let Wong Kar-wai go. In The Legend of the Devil, the Ashes of Time was also used, that is, Ryan and Yuqi Zhang ordered a glass of wine called Let Life Intoxicate in the bar.
In Time Has Changed, Huang's line goes like this: "Not long ago, I met a man and gave me an altar of wine. She said it was called "Let Life Slip Away from You". After drinking, you can forget anything you have done before. I wonder why there is such wine. She said that people's biggest problem is their bad memory. If everything can be forgotten, every day in the future is a new beginning. How happy do you feel? This bottle of wine was meant for you. It seems that we will share it. "
Thirdly, there is the stem of Eighteen Bronze Men, which also draws lessons from Stephen Chow's Gourmet. One of the Bronze Men also invited Stephen Chow's old partner Huang Yifei to play.
Huang Yifei also appeared in Stephen Chow's Ji Gong.
Fourthly, the role setting of Xie Yilin, a woman with a man's heart, draws lessons from the role setting of Cecilia Cheung, a fox in the movie Zhong Wuyan by Sammi Cheng and Anita Mui of Cecilia Cheung.
And the appearance of Xie Yilin, the magnificent step she took, made people see the shadow of the Persian emperor when he appeared in the 300 warriors of Sparta.
Fifth, other films that flash by, such as Mulan and Liang Zhu, are full of golden flowers.
Sixth, the role played by Luo Jiaying at the beginning of The Legend of Demon Descending, a Taoist named Murong Ying Zheng, is obviously a tribute to Ching-Ying Lam.
It says a lot about the so-called "parody" in The Legend of the Rare, and in recent years, we have seen many typical hodgepodge movies like Jing Wong, which can be said to be quite familiar.
After the release of "The Legend of the Demon", its reputation was not good. Director Jing Wong expressed his dissatisfaction. He said that the audience didn't understand or accept his style, but that's not the case.
For example, Jing Wong is also a director, and the film "Truant, Year of the Rooster" of 1993 uses the stem of the film "Instinct", but in Douban, more than 40,000 people scored 7. 1-
Aside from the two factors of "time filter" and "fan filter", a comedy that spoofs and draws lessons from other movies certainly needs not only special effects and acting skills, but also a sincere story.
Look at the comments of netizens, and you will probably know why The Legend of the Demon is called a bad film-
@ Zhang Yongxuan Wayne: It's worse than vomiting blood, which is worse than "The Battle of the Immortals". This thing is a piece of shit in the sky, and it makes you sick to swallow flies in minutes. Yuqi Zhang, Ryan, Xie Yilin and Huang Zulin dazzled you from their costumes to their performances. The story is bullshit and the special effects are terrible. The whole movie is a bucket of dirty and greasy smelly slop, which smells disgusting.
