Why is the score of Yulan Shen Gong Douban so low?

It may be because the performance of the film is quite satisfactory, but it is still qualified.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the Buddhist Bonsai Festival, and the annual festival to worship the dead in July and half of the lunar calendar have always been well-known cultural symbols. In Hong Kong, the Orchid Festival is a grand and grand festival-it has been a hundred years since the influx of immigrants brought their traditional Orchid Festival to Hong Kong. This grand Yulan Victory Festival is held from the first day of the seventh lunar month to the end of July. Its activities include offering sacrifices, burning paper money, distributing rice, bidding for blessings and performing magic tricks. The story of the movie "The Magic of Magnolia" happened in a magic troupe that was about to start.

The above plot has been artificially combed, and when you actually watch a movie in the cinema, it will inevitably be a bit foggy. Because the narrative technique of the film is not straightforward, but the continuity of 40 years ago is constantly presented by interpolation, which makes people think that it is a two-line narrative in the same time and space. Until the end, Zong Hua's identity as the son of Qiu Yan's sister was revealed to the world, and the strange things he encountered also had a slightly logical explanation. However, if we delve into the cause and effect, this movie has too many regrets. Many scenes should have been brighter. For example, Jingjing, who is possessed and eager to go to power, the love-hate entanglement between the old monitor and his son, and the fiasco of Chinese businessmen (Zong Hua was cheated to open a publishing house in the mainland, as if referring to the stillborn Hong Kong Morning Post? ), even Zong Hua's dead girlfriend (did she have sex with Yu Xiaoyan and Zong Hua first, and then Xiaoyan was possessed by ghosts in Shuang Ling to fight for the wind? )? Many details that instinctively enrich the film will only play a scary role and then "scare it." It's a pity to scare the layout because of fear.

The most eye-catching part of the film is the one-man show. Nick Cheung sees himself jumping off a building through the monitor, and then sees the female ghost approaching him and watching him through the monitor. Both the camera expression and Nick Cheung's own performance made the whole movie enter a climax surrounded by fear. This relationship between watching and being watched is creepy, and it is even more frightening to gradually pull the audience into this relationship through close-ups and sound effects. In addition, Jingjing's possessed part has become a "blue event", which is presented from the perspective of elevator monitoring lens and is full of topics.
