Has' Fengshen 'been' Fengshen 'yet?

2023-08-07   

Since its release, as the opening work of the "Fengshen Trilogy", "Fengshen First Part" has contributed to many topics. Some people praise the movie for its festive performance, while others are concerned about whether it has been "modified by magic". Some analyze its special effects level, while others believe that the content is exaggerated... As the film's reputation deepens, more and more behind the scenes stories are being discovered, from adhering to real-life construction to training new actors for auditions. People are enthusiastic about discussing various details such as the Fu Hua Dao, and even how Jifa's meatball head is tied. Many viewers spontaneously make amends to movies, hoping for grand scenes such as the battle between humans, demons, and the fiefdom in the subsequent stories. They mock the "Proton Group" in the film for changing the aesthetic of entertainment - their acting skills may be a bit lackluster, but the main focus is on sincerity. From being once underestimated to the emergence of numerous "tap water", is the first part of "Fengshen" considered a "Fengshen"? Image source: The official Weibo story of 'Fengshen Part 1', familiar yet unfamiliar? The "Trilogy of Fengshen" is based on the Ming Dynasty novel "Fengshen Romance" and the Song and Yuan Dynasty script "The Legend of King Wu's Destruction of Zhou and the Pinghua". For the audience, they may feel familiar and unfamiliar with the movie when it comes to "brushing". The movie retains the familiar characters and plot that people are familiar with, and King Yin Shou of Shang (King Zhou) is a villain who colludes with Daji; Bi Gan remained a loyal minister, willing to dissect his heart to advise Yin Shou; Ji Chang adopted Lei Zhenzi, and Bo Yikao came to save his father. He was ultimately killed by Yin Shou... At the same time, the plot changed. Fatalism has been abandoned, and the setting of the "Fengshen Bang" is a treasure left by Nvwa. Only the "co lord of the world" can open it and save the people in troubled times. Ji Fa replaced Jiang Ziya as the core protagonist. In the original work, Jifa's sense of existence is not very strong. If the first part of "Fengshen" wants to focus on Ji Fa and express the theme of hero growth and discernment of good and evil, it almost needs to retell a story. Among them, "Proton Journey" is the original creation of the movie. Proton was a bargaining chip used by the Yin Shang to threaten the lords. "Eight hundred lords sent their sons to pay tribute to the Great Shang in the east, west, north, and south. If the lords dared to rebel, they would first kill their protons and then exterminate them." Ji Fa, one of the many protons, came to Chaoge from a young age and regarded Yin Shou, who was capable of conquering battles, as a hero. However, Yin Shou forced Four Protons to kill their father, Bo Yikao died tragically, and his friend Yin Jiao was pursued... One huge impact after another forced Ji Fa to start changing and make a choice. In order to ascend the throne, Yin Shou used the fox demon's magic to deceive his brother to kill his father, and then used Ji Fa's hand to kill his brother. Later, he beheaded his son Yin Jiao due to his own selfish desire. For Yin Shou, family ethics must make way for ambition. The Ji Chang family is exactly the opposite. Boyi Kao knew that going to Chaoge would be more ominous, but he still chose to sacrifice himself and make a living for his father and brother. Faced with the threat of Yin Shou, in order to protect Ji Fa, who was still alive, Ji Chang suffered humiliation and chose to compromise. In contrast to good and evil, Jifa saw the cruelty and darkness in Yin Shou's heart and resolutely broke away from it, riding his horse back to Xiqi. It should be said that the film has made significant changes to the original work, and the debate about whether the adaptation is reasonable still exists today. However, the logic of the entire story can be self consistent. Boyi Kao's warmth towards her family and Jifa's entanglement with her father can both evoke emotions
