Di Renjie chases the prisoner, encounters Yuchi Zhenjin, and a third-party water monster participates. The high-ranking officials in the Tang Empire want to get Yin Ruiji but cannot. Many people are dispatched to compete with each other. This sequence pays great attention to editing. It is a collection of short shots of 0.5 seconds. This is not Tsui Hark's movie. Instead, it is full of "Inception" style, which is extremely tense and exciting. .
It even made some people clench their fists tightly with sweat in their fists, nervously wanting to know whether Di Renjie and Yuchi Zhenjin could escape the clutches of the devil.
Di Renjie¡¯s face, which looks young and even a little childish, is completely different from Yuchi Zhenjin¡¯s panic. There is a firmness and confidence in his eyes, which makes people sigh again, Li Donglai¡¯s acting is so good!
The emergence of voodoo can be regarded as a pioneer in Chinese movies.
The scene of "strange grass growing on the arm" shows the aliens cultivating the poison seedlings with their bodies, while the poisonous insects in the court are the poisonous insects that crawled out of the human body after being dispersed by the antidote.
This scene is very mysterious, with dense worms running out of the body, making everyone feel numb. Empress Wu Lei was furious and asked the two to solve the case within a time limit.
Tsui Hark carried forward the "poison" and "evil" of voodoo in "Detective Dee: The Dragon King of the Dragon King". He not only designed a "heavy taste" plot such as arms covered with voodoo seedlings and hundreds of voodoo insects ravaging the court, but It also made "Gu" a key factor that almost leveraged the powerful Tang Dynasty regime. Tsui Hark has his own opinion on such a design: "I think a smart detective must challenge fascinating and strange cases. I want to design events that are beyond expectations, but in the end they can be summarized into logic that we can accept. Design A case that will not appear in other stories can attract the audience and make Dee Renjie more charming."[
There are also subsequent fighting scenes. In "The Dragon King of Gods", there are more than twice as many fighting scenes as in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".
If in the Hollywood movie "Special Forces 2: The Rise of Cobra" that we have seen before, the shot of ninjas jumping and climbing with ropes on the snowy mountain cliffs is classified as a classic cliff shot, then Di Renjie, Sha Tuozhong and Yuchi Zhenjin went to an isolated overseas island and engaged in a thrilling cliff-side battle, which was even more dizzying.
This cliff battle. The 3D effect is very obvious, and Li Donglai's skills are once again perfectly demonstrated, and the feeling of grasping the rope on the cliff also provides everyone with a "ticking time bomb" of danger.
Fully implement the "ticking bomb" theory to its extreme. It gives the audience a feeling as if it was about to explode but didn't, and stuck at the red line at the last second. I couldn't take my eyes away at all.
So this section is quite exciting and makes people want to stop. The whole process is almost tight to the stool. They are all sweating for the protagonists in the movie.
Finally. Everyone successfully solved this danger, and it seemed that this was about to have a happy ending. However, many people thought about the scene at the beginning of the movie and felt a little thoughtful in their hearts - it seems that the situation is not that easy to solve!
Sure enough, soon after the Tang army began to return, Yuchi Zhenjin still wanted to save face and was very unhappy with Di Renjie. But just when they started to cherish each other, monsters from the sea came! This is a huge sea creature possessed by a worm. Then it became a scene of disaster. The ferocious waves and sea beasts, as well as the merciless blows, are ready to come out under the amazing 3D effect of the IMAX screen, as if they are about to catch people's faces, making the audience feel that they are also experiencing danger with the officers and soldiers. While on the dangerous trip, I was also hooked and felt that watching this kind of special effects film was so exciting!
Because of the huge investment, it is naturally impossible for the monster to be poisoned to death with poison and fish. If it is poisoned to death in such a simple way, it will not be the Dragon King.
Crossbows, repeating crossbows and even the ancient bed crossbow, the ultimate long-range weapon, catapults, etc., have all been put on the screen one by one. There was a water battle with the Dragon King several times. The thrill is definitely the first choice of the year.
Of course, there is a happy ending in the end. Yin Ruiji left reluctantly, which made the audience a little regretful.
Throughout the film, there is a Hollywood-like style - in the process, various dangers continued, the "ticking bomb" theory was used proficiently, and after countless conspiracies, difficulties and obstacles, a happy ending was used as a symbol. The ending, all of this is really satisfying. In addition, the 3D effects and beautiful scenes of the movie make everyone feel that this movie is no different from Hollywood blockbusters. At least it is thrilling to watch, and the special effects are particularly realistic.
The screening is over, but the movie doesn¡¯t end there. After an ending song that is very in line with the temperament of a European and American blockbuster, the words "Please don't go away, there will be more excitement later" are clearly written below, reminding the audience that the movie also has Easter eggs.
That¡¯s right, easter eggs.
Since "Di Renjie" has been taken over by Chen Tiandu, of course it will not just be this one. The content of the easter egg is a preview of the next "Detective Dee". A bloody phoenix let out a shrill scream that resounded throughout the theater, foretelling that the next movie would be "Detective Dee: The Murderous Phoenix".
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In this way, there seems to be no need to question the film's success.
"A refreshing and unique costume suspense blockbuster!" This is the reporter's conclusion for "The Dragon King of the City of Gods".
Although this film is unlikely to set off the dream interpretation craze like "Inception", nor is it likely to be as thought-provoking after the end as "Gravity", this film still gives everyone a very strong sense of wonder. Shocked, unable to calm down for a long time.
The applause sounded quickly.
Li Donglai and Tsui Hark looked at each other, smiled slightly, and brought all the creative staff to the stage to face everyone. Everyone bowed in unison, which triggered endless applause in the cinema.
Sure enough, Li Donglai's film is not to pit fathers. After watching Li Donglai and Xu Ke's "Di Renjie Dragon King", everyone is even more firm in this belief. Because this is indeed an eye-catching domestic blockbuster!
With the fall of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", everyone has been criticizing domestic blockbusters this year. At this time, everyone is a little worried about domestic blockbusters, but at this time, "Detective Dee, Dragon King" has once again revived everyone's confidence in Chinese domestic blockbusters!
After everyone leaves the cinema. Soon, excited people came to the Internet to give their ratings. Many people thought that the special effects of "Detective Dee Renjie: The Dragon King" were completely unremarkable and were on the same level as the visual enjoyment of Hollywood movies. In addition, this film Li Donglai is outstanding in his skills, and the whole film is full of tricks, compact and without losing some jokes. Overall, this video is quite good
The rating on Douban once reached 8.5 points, and finally more people rated it. It barely dropped to 8.0 points.
"Always a classic master from the east, Old Monster Xu who gets better and better with each brew!"
This is the title of the review written by a special film critic from Sohu News and Movie Network for "Detective Dee: The God of Dragon King".
He wrote: "'Detective Dee: The Dragon King' is undoubtedly the best special effects movie in China in 2013. The world of martial arts is still inseparable from this "Old Monster Xu." The joining of Li Donglai has added to the traditional Chinese costume martial arts culture Vitality. It gives the possibility for martial arts to enter the world.
Who is "Old Monster Xu"?
When talking about Tsui Hark with friends in the film critic circle. People will not call him Tsui Hark. For such a genius Chinese director, we will affectionately call him "Old Monster Xu". From his debut "Butterfly" to the innovation of "Shu Mountain", from From the classic "Once Upon a Time" series to the popular "New Dragon Inn", although there are occasional bad movies, when it comes to the world of martial arts, perhaps no director in China can stand shoulder to shoulder. After experiencing the failure of "Seven Swords" in 2005 and the overwhelming reviews, 5 years later. Tsui Hark is in Wujianghu. The 2010 movie "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" is definitely a brand new beginning for Tsui Hark. With nearly perfect movie special effects and movie plot, he proves to the world that his talent has not faded with time. And then from "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" to the "Detective Dee: The Dragon King of the Divine Capital" that we talked about today, especially in the last easter egg of "Detective Dee: The Dragon King of the Divine Capital", "The Dragon King of the Divine Capital" is definitely not the end, and this is definitely not the end. For example, in those years when Tsui Hark created the Jianghu series, with the maturity of Chinese film special effects, just like George Lucas back then, Tsui Hark was creating a Chinese martial arts version of "Star Wars" at the Industrial Light and Magic Company. Like a fine wine that gets better and better as it brews, the movie "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" really makes people get drunk on the martial arts of the "prosperous Tang Dynasty" that he created.
Who is Li Donglai?
It seems more needless to say.
He pioneered Chinese science fiction blockbusters and is a world-class star. He is currently the most popular in China. During the Republic of China, it was the most popular one, no one.
The two men teamed up to make the audience want to die, a perfect visual feast.
"The China of the 'Royal Tang Dynasty', the era of Wu Zetian, and Detective Dee's legend of solving crimes. I have to say that Tsui Hark chose the entry point for this movie very well. I remember that I liked the TV series version of "Detective Dee Renjie" very much. I have watched almost every one of them, and I am always immersed in the stories of detectives solving crimes, but I always feel that something is missing. But when I watched "The Dragon King of the City of Gods", I seemed to have found the answer. TV series can never create that kind of story. The glorious and majestic Tang Dynasty cannot make the whole plot so compact, giving people a feeling of being completely integrated into the movie. This allows the audience to fully integrate into the movie.??, is inseparable from the film's strong sense of space. With the continuous improvement of Chinese film special effects and the construction of major film and television bases, "The Dragon King of the Divine City" has been shown several times in the panoramic view of Luoyang, to the Dragon King Temple, The majestic display of the Dali Temple and the Royal Palace, the careful depiction of detailed scenes such as the market, dyeing shop, and docks, as well as the cliffs, battlefields, bat islands, and other scenes, all contributed to the film's almost flawless sense of space. 3D, at least to me, is an excellent visual experience. This is a process that can turn the audience from a viewer to a witness. This is also the highest level of a special effects movie in my opinion. "

Although thousands of people have passed away, Mr. Xu has always persisted in himself. For 34 years, I have watched basically every one of his movies. In this world of martial arts, although there are many setbacks, in this world of movies There have been many ups and downs in the movie, but Mr. Xu is becoming more and more mellow. He is really a gangster that I, as a movie lover, can't put down!
He gave it a five-star rating!
This is just one of them. After the premiere on the first night, it received rave reviews online and couldn't stop.
When it was officially released nationwide the next day, it immediately set off a movie-watching frenzy.
The overseas distribution of "Detective Dee: Dragon King" outside of mainland China has been completely handed over to Phantom.
After several years of development, Phantom¡¯s overseas distribution capabilities are naturally the first in China, and it is also the only film company capable of distributing movies to more than 60 countries and regions around the world.
"The Dragon King of Gods" was also premiered simultaneously in Southeast Asia, including South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. (To be continued)
