China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 625 A good movie
The few days between the premiere and the nationwide release were the most controversial.

People who attended the premiere and the media gave the movie "Mojin: The Last Dragon" very good reviews.

Another group of media and netizens maintained their previous views.

Either they are not optimistic about the movie adaptation of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", or they think that Cao Qing has never directed a commercial blockbuster independently, and it is very unusual that Li Yu did not support Cao Qing.

In short, Cao Qing is now experiencing all the criticisms that Li Yu had experienced before.

Cao Qing himself ignored these criticisms.

Because saying a thousand or ten thousand things won't accomplish anything.

When the movie is officially released in a few days, the audience will vote with their feet to choose the correct answer as to whether it is a mule or a horse.

That day is coming soon.

Wang Zhiyong and Liu Biao are roommates in a university and also father and son.

As for who is the godfather and who is the godson, it depends on who pays for the meal or brings the meal that day.

For example, today, Liu Biao was very generous and said he would invite his roommate Wang Zhiyong to the cinema to watch "Mojin: The Lost Tomb".

Wang Zhiyong immediately felt the excitement of finally meeting a wise master after wandering for half his life, and said, "Thank you, foster father."

However, the clever Wang Zhiyong soon realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.

"Didn't you say two days ago that you had an appointment with a schoolmate to watch a movie together?" Wang Zhiyong couldn't help but ask, thinking of what happened two days ago.

"She said she had no interest in such a crappy movie as Mojin: The Lost Tomb. I was so angry at the time that I carefully explained to her the value of Ghost Blows Out the Light in online novels and told her that it was the founder of the tomb-raiding school in the online literature world and also its pinnacle work.

I explained the situation to her for quite some time, but she actually said that I was boring, didn’t understand romance at all, and was a straight man who was destined to be lonely for the rest of his life.”

Talking about this, Liu Biao still felt that he was wronged.

If he is straight, why would he ask a girl out to watch a movie? Isn't watching a movie romantic enough?

“……” Wang Zhiyong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know where to start.

His roommate is destined to be alone.

How can you ask a girl out for the first time and watch a movie like this?

This is a relatively unpopular category in itself. Most of the people who are interested in it are boys, and very few girls are interested in tomb robbing.

Wang Zhiyong was silent for a long time. He didn't want to hurt his godfather's heart, so he had to say: "It's okay, don't blame you, she is ungrateful. Don't have women, they will only slow down your sword-drawing speed. You invite them to the movies, and they still look down on you for being straight. You use the money for the movie tickets to treat the brothers to spicy hot pot, and you can happily be a godfather for a night. This is the difference."

Liu Biao, who lost himself in the calls of "godfather", felt much better.

He felt that this was very true, and women would only slow down his speed in drawing his sword.

He quickly put the matter of his schoolmate behind him.

On the way to the cinema, Wang Zhiyong and Liu Biao began discussing the movie "Mojin: The Lost Tomb".

"Biaozi, do you think the movie "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" will be badly made? Last time, I was badly fooled by the movie version of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", which seemed to be made by a famous director from Hong Kong.

I think if Mojin: The Lost Tomb is as bad as The Lost Tomb, it really doesn’t need to be made, leaving some room for imagination for us fans of the original novel, and not ruining the classic.”

Wang Zhiyong said that in the six-person dormitory, he and Liu Biao were both loyal readers of tomb-raiding novels.

So after being rejected by the goddess, Liu Biao did not call his other four sons, but chose to call Liu Biao.

This is a common hobby between the two of them, and they often talk about some very imaginative topics.

Explore whether the Queen of Jingjue that Hu Bayi saw at the bottom of the bottomless ghost cave really looked exactly like Shirley Yang, or was it an illusion caused by the influence of the corpse-scented konjac.

Professor Sun also experienced all the things that happened when the earthly immortal was born as predicted. Did Professor Sun become an earthly immortal in the end?

There is also the most outrageous piece of imagination. In fact, Hu Bayi and his group have died in the bottomless ghost cave. The contents of the next seven volumes are all Hu Bayi’s fantasies before his death under the influence of the corpse-scented konjac.

The two of them love Ghost Blows Out the Light so deeply that they are really afraid that the first movie of the show will turn out to be a bad one.

"It shouldn't be the case. Mojin: The Lost Tomb is an adaptation of Ghost Blows Out the Light. How can the Grave Robbers' Chronicles you mentioned be compared with Ghost Blows Out the Light?

Just judging from the quality of the novel, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is better than "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". You even said that the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" movie was bad because of that Hong Kong director.

That director hasn't made any good films in recent years, and the cast is full of young and popular stars, so it's normal that they are bad.

"Mojin: The Lost Legend" is worth looking forward to. The director, leading actors, and production team are still the original crew of the web drama version. The script was still written by Director Li, so the quality is definitely guaranteed."

Liu Biao replied.

"Director Li also has his bad days. I read a post yesterday in which the author analyzed why Director Li did not support "Mojin: The Last Dragon". After ruling out various possibilities, the author finally came to the conclusion that the movie was bad. He analyzed that Director Li might have felt that the movie was bad and that he would be laughed at if he praised it, so he simply didn't show up." Wang Zhiyong added.

"Those people know nothing. They just like to guess. Whether the movie is really bad or not, we will know after we go to the cinema. Let me make a bet with you. If the movie is bad, I will treat you to a spicy hot pot meal. If the movie is not bad, conversely, you will treat me to a spicy hot pot meal." Liu Biao said.

"Okay, it's a deal. Let's bet on a meal of spicy hot pot." Wang Zhiyong agreed readily.

When they arrived at the cinema, they entered the screening room and were finally able to watch the Ghost Blows Out the Light movie they had been looking forward to for many years.

Once the movie started, they soon discovered a surprise.

This movie satisfied the fantasies of these fans of the original novel in terms of music, art, and special effects.

This is what their imagined movie version of Ghost Blows Out the Light should be like.

However, there was one aspect that made them a little unsatisfied, as the story told in the movie was excavated from the novel.

However, the story of the movie has been adapted, and the extent of the adaptation is quite significant, which makes these fans of the original novel feel that it is not faithful enough to the original.

Because the theme of the movie version is suspense adventure, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the word "ghost" is deliberately avoided.

Fortunately, the script adaptation was quite successful. Although it is different from the novel, the flavor of Ghost Blows Out the Light is retained, and the viewing experience of the movie is relatively good.

Moreover, the novel's author, Ba Chang, participated in the adaptation of the script, making it easier for fans of the original novel to accept it.

So Wang Zhiyong and Liu Biao came to a similar conclusion after watching the movie, that the movie was pretty good and there was nothing wrong with it.

The movie is definitely not bad, but it is far from being a masterpiece.

Fans of the original novel don't bother to pay attention to details, and the whole movie is quite enjoyable to watch.

If you are a passerby, you will have a better viewing experience and think it is a good adventure movie.
