It is generally believed that the first half of The Legend of Deification is too slow, which directly discourages many viewers. The second half quickened the pace, but it was too hasty. Some holes were dug, and there were loopholes in the plot. Although the animation special effects are very good, even the highest level in China, the audience is more concerned about the plot. In short, the plot is not as popular as Nezha, and the people are too clever. They are all old routines, and most of the time they are made up with special effects. The plot is too thin, not as many smiles and tears as Nezha, and not as subversive and explosive as Nezha.
As the first audience to watch movies on National Day, I feel that the idea of "The Legend of Deification" is quite good, involving many philosophical issues. For example, the classic tram puzzle: a madman tied five innocent people to the tram track. An out-of-control tram is coming towards them and will crush them in a moment. Fortunately, you can pull a lever and let the tram go to another track. However, the problem is that the madman tied a person to another tram track. Considering the above situation, should we pull the lever? Is one life worth exchanging with five lives? In the movie, the choice is to save one person or the whole world. The tram problem can't find an answer that satisfies everyone, so the movie can't give a happy ending, which will inevitably disappoint some people and lead to a split in word of mouth. But this kind of philosophical thinking is rare in other films, and we still like it. The more, the better.
According to the Bible, human beings worked together to build a tower that hoped to lead to heaven, but God made human beings speak different languages, which prevented them from communicating with each other. As a result, the plan to build the tower failed, and mankind parted ways from now on. The tower that gave up halfway is called the Tower of Babylon. The tower of Babylon symbolizes that the direct connection between man and God has been broken. In China's mythology, there is also a legend that the Jedi are connected with heaven. In ancient China, everyone could communicate with the gods between heaven and earth, that is, the communication between heaven and earth. Then there is tribal rebellion, and the rebellious tribes are disrespectful to the gods, so the gods tease ordinary people, such as hail when it rains. After the rebellion subsided, Ren Huang appointed a special person to be in charge of the Four Seasons Sacrifice, which cut off the communication between mortals and the gods of heaven and earth, that is, the communication between the Jedi and heaven, so that heaven and earth were in their proper places and the world was established. This is also to sever the connection between man and God. In Legend of Deification, in order to break the last lock of fate, Jiang Ziya interrupted the ladder from earth to heaven, leaving all beings without the protection of gods, but gaining freedom and peace. So this plot is very meaningful.
However, despite the profound thoughts in The Legend of Deification, it is a pity that the story is not well told. But from the story itself, it's not bad, but compared with Nezha, the gap comes out. "Nezha" has such an unusual ridicule from the very beginning, which is very funny. Laughing all the way, I slowly felt sad and heavy. Until the end, under the heavy accumulation, Nezha shouted: "My life is my decision!" The strongest struggle, venting, and explosion! And "The Legend of Deification" was very dull from the beginning, with a slow pace, but special effects took up a lot of space. The early stage was not enough, and the later stage broke out too fast and too fiercely, so the influence of Where are you going was not great, so it happened that the scene of life and death should be greatly exaggerated, and the feelings were not enough, which made it very embarrassing to watch. Intellectually, I know it is a critical point, and the film also focuses on it as a critical point. The special effects are also beautiful and should be wonderful, but the emotions are not so burning that I can't break out with them, so I have internal injuries that I can't get rid of, and the feeling is very complicated. If you think about it carefully, it is still a pot that has not accumulated enough: if there are not so many special effects, more interaction between characters and more goodwill, then the feeling of Where to Go will be different at that time and you will be happier!
The success of "The Legend of Deification" on its first day at the box office was largely due to Nezha's participation, which was expected by the audience as a sequel to Nezha. Today's success, but the divided word of mouth still makes it lose some viewers. As a series of films dedicated to God, the ending egg is not given to the lower part of the film dedicated to God, such as Nezha. Ok, let the crew be quiet before filming the next masterpiece, and learn the lesson from The Legend of Deification.
Nezha, Xian Yi, suitable for all ages, do not need too much background knowledge; Legend of Deification is too heavy for many people (including me) to understand.
From an artistic point of view, the two films are neck and neck, and the dubbing of art and film stunt music is first-class level; However, the subversive adaptation and narrative techniques of The Legend of Deification are more suitable for TV series than animation.
The evaluation of women in this history has always been morbid; Since ancient times, beauty has been a disaster, which is the same fate of beauties including da ji, Cong Si, Shi, and Di Xin stories, and it is also a mindset.
We can see the clues in the list of gods, and see several changes of da ji-from "human" to "immortal", from "immortal" to "demon", from "demon" to "essence" (Xiao Jiu in the film).
"The Legend of Deification" did not explain this clearly, and it was difficult to mobilize the audience's emotions.
In addition, the theme of Nezha is distinct-my life is not up to me; Nezha is like a superhero in a Hollywood blockbuster, and he can have a box office with this;
The myth of deification is different. "If you don't save one person, how can you save the whole people?" The savior can't be a personal hero after all.
If it is won, The Legend of Deification is definitely ahead of Nezha in animation production; But as far as the narrative technique of the story is concerned, the two films are not at the same level.
Hi, a new day has begun. I am your little cutie.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, as one of the most anticipated films in the cinema, The Legend of Deification made the cinema packed, and the box office achieved high results, even breaking the myth of Nezha, Guo Man. Animation is shocking, but why does word-of-mouth continue to plummet?
The release of Legend of Deification means another peak of animation production in Guo Man. The immersive sound effects and the careful polishing of each frame of the animation believe that many people unconsciously get goose bumps when sitting in the cinema.
Although the story of Legend of Deification is old-fashioned, as a very mature fairy tale in China, it still has its unique charm although it has been remake several times. This animated film mainly tells the story in the second half. After the decline of Zhou Wang Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was ordered to seal Kyubi no Youko. In the struggle with Kyubi no Youko, he found an envelope containing the right path and the conspiracy of Buddha.
After watching the whole movie, the experience of Kyubi no Youko, the fox demon, is somewhat sympathetic, but Jiang Ziya, the protagonist, is somewhat single, and you may not see any characteristics of Jiang Ziya. Only a few characters in The Legend of Deification are distinctive and their personalities are not clear. The real Taiyi and Shen in Nezha are mature characters.
Like Nezha, this film also wants to convey a direction to everyone. Nezha's most classic line is "My life is my decision". However, I wonder if you still remember the theme "Everyone can be his own hero" in The Legend of Deification? This sentence sounds like something that has nothing to do with the idea of the movie, so this point is still vague in the movie. And from another perspective, Nezha's central idea is "My life depends on me", which is a good way to release people who are now more or less stressed. No matter students who are tortured by their grades or adults who are troubled by their family life and workplace, they also have the idea that "my life depends on me", which is even less touching than Jiang Ziya's "everyone can be his own hero". What is a hero? It is redemption, a great love beyond small love, and self-redemption is a long process. Compared with Nezha who dares to fight against heaven, Jiang Ziya's self-salvation is relatively less shocking.
However, although the whole film is not as good as Nezha, it is also remarkable. In recent years, Guo Man has got rid of the rigid problem of character animation. From The Great Guardian and Mr. Miao, we can see that Nezha and Jiang Ziya, who are further sublimated, have some shortcomings in characterization and central theme, but the combination of shocking special effects and sound effects is also a masterpiece.
Will there be a Goddess Universe? Unfortunately, there is no corresponding communication between the two works at present. He is his story, and I am my story. The linkage between the two sides only appeared in the egg painting and publicity, and did not appear in the plot that could have been played naturally. If it is only to "deify the universe", the chess game of deifying the legend is a bit stumbling. In any case, what can move people's hearts is the plot. The two films have taken different paths, so the scores naturally vary from person to person.
The myth of deification was released in June 1, 1. It is said that the box office broke through 200 million yuan on 1 day, far exceeding the expectation of breaking through 1 billion on the first day of film release, and surpassed Nezha on the first day.
I went to see it on the first day of the release. I have a reservation for the performance at 9 pm. After reading it online, I plan to place an order at the gate of the cinema. As a result, when we arrived at the scene, no one bought it except 1 row, but there were seats next to the second row, and all other positions were sold out.
It can be seen that Jiang Ziya's banquet is big enough, and the audience is really willing to pay for him.

This Jiang Ziya is not only capable, but also a great spirit with feelings. There are two explanations:
First, in order to save Xiao Jiu's life, Jiang Ziya gave up the opportunity to kill the nine-tailed fox, angered the Buddha, and was banished to the world. If he didn't kill the nine-tailed fox, he was not allowed to return to heaven.
Because he won't kill innocent people in order to become the hero of the world and the head of the gods.
Every little life has its own value and significance and should not be given up. This is Jiang Ziya's feelings and the essence of the 5,000-year civilization of the Chinese nation.
Second, Buddha and God always want the whole world to exist according to their plans. In order to help him compete with the nine-tailed fox for control, the Buddha asked Jiang Ziya to kill the nine-tailed fox.
When Jiang Ziya knew the truth, he resolutely cut off the ladder. He wants to liberate the whole world and let them decide their own destiny.
Tao is inaction, and Tao is nature. For the fate of others, all artificial planning and control, even if your motives are no matter how good, is also a muzzle, but also a stranglehold.

Inspired by Jiang Ziya, Shen stopped being a bad guy and became a fan of Jiang Ziya. He sneaked into the world, sacrificed his life's practice, helped Jiang Ziya, and helped Xiao Jiu get rid of the parasitic nine-tailed fox and successfully reincarnate.
The evil nine-tailed fox was finally killed by Jiang Ziya.
03
The legendary apotheosis is compared with that of Nezha-in fact, there is no comparability.
Nezha is about the growth of a "god", but it also has the feelings of unwilling to be bound, "fate is up to me" and pursuing freedom. The process was painful, but overall it was more festive.
The mythical legend is sad and the story is complicated. Jiang Ziya saved Xiao Jiu, that is, Su Daji, and later became Shang Zhouwang's beloved princess. Zhou Wang harms people all over the world for da ji.
What will you choose after Jiang Ziya?
An audience said that this cartoon is not suitable for children, and I agree.
Perhaps the screenwriter and director also realized this, so they made up for it with the three eggs at the end. The children who had been quiet before suddenly cheered.
So it's no problem for the whole family to visit.
Poor, much worse.
First of all, from the character:
Nezha's slogan is: My life is my decision! Comprehensive fairy tales, it's true. Nezha made so many mistakes, but he lived a very self-centered life. This is totally my life. I'm in charge. I can shave my flesh off and give it back to my mother, and dig out my bones and give them back to my father. I've always lived for myself.
However, Jiang Ziya is a mythical mastermind and a powerful strategist. Sacrifice on the battlefield is inevitable. He can't save everyone. How can there be: if you don't save one person, how can you save the whole life? This sentence is a bit false, but many people died on the battlefield.
A large part of the reason why people watch The Legend of Deification is Nezha's eggs, which makes people think that it will be a follow-up or related film, but the result is not.
Moreover, The Legend of Deification has adapted too many fairy tales, which means that it is beyond recognition. Anyway, if it weren't for spending money, I might not want to see it in the middle. Shen is actually a strong and stupid person. How did he get involved with that black and thin man in Nezha? !
China movies should learn from the west. There are eggs, but at least it has something to do with the last movie! !
The official account of WeChat, the black water army that now posts money, has long been industrialized. Behind every newly released film is stinking capital marketing. I hope the state will pay attention to it, and the fewer examples of suppressing bad money and eliminating good money in good works, the better. In addition, the deified legend "The Great Guardian" is an adult animated film, which is not suitable for the audience of "Nezha".
First of all, the conclusion is that the production level of The Legend of Deification is not worse than that of Nezha, but it is difficult to reach the audience accurately because of the incomplete details of the plot and character design.
First of all, the story, because part of the story was cut out, it seems that the integrity of the story is not enough, such as how Shen escaped? How did Xiao Jiu escape? How did the four elephants suddenly change from a cute state to a fighting state? How was the Lord punished by the Lord? Why did The Grandmaster release mysterious birds? These plots are very important for the audience to construct the whole story completely, but because the editing problems or script design problems are not explained clearly, people feel that the story is fragmented. Some key plots in the later period are explained only by narration, which makes it difficult for people to enter the situation. This is one of them.
Another character design is not to say that their design is not good, but it is a little different from the image of the public. Twelve Jinxian's design, for example, is not to reduce the workload. All immortals either have no facial details like masters or wear masks. This is really cutting corners! As a fox, Kyubi no Youko is too simple. A mask completely isolates the fox's face, and when you look at it, you always think it is a monster beast, not a fox. . .
Of course, we can also see some people's elaborate designs. Their hairpins seem to have something to do with their magic. Twelve Jinxian even described the concept of three flowers on top, and the master just put a big tree on his head. Although it seems a bit strange, the producer is really careful at this point.
In addition, in design, both Nezha and Legend of Deification borrowed the cultural symbol of Sanxingdui, but obviously Legend of Deification abused it excessively, making a celestial body look like an alien spaceship. Too many rigid line designs seem to have no feeling of oriental celestial bodies at all, but feel like western celestial bodies. Besides, how did Jiang Ziya look a bit like Jesus when he broke Xiao Jiu's heart lock?
Another point may be that because of the desolate setting after the war, the environment setting of the whole movie is too simple, not only Beihai, Hui Gui and Wonderland, but also too simple. I still think it's cutting corners. I can't see the details. . . .
Besides, as an animated film aimed at people over 8 years old, this story is too serious. The steady laughter in the theater is actually caused by the eggs on New Year's Eve, so it is difficult for the audience to sing. Relatively speaking, Nezha is actually better in story integrity and character scene design, and it is more direct and touching, making it easy for people to substitute into situations.
The film is not bad, but people's expectations are too high. After the previous film Nezha won a win-win situation at the box office, people have high expectations for this mythical legend. But for a series of films, the success of the last film is the success without great setbacks. Nezha had reached a high level in special effects, fun and creativity. Jiang Ziya, in particular, is a well-known mythical figure. No matter how he writes his works, he can't escape the framework of answering questions.
Jiang Ziya succeeded in reasoning, but failed in reasoning. If Nezha gets 90 points, I will give Jiang Ziya 95 points.
There is no shortage of cool movies on the market now, no matter myths or movies. I think Jiang Ziya can do it with critical methods and introspection.
The point is not to fight monsters, but why, really? Hit who? Kyubi no Youko or master, injustice or fate?
Maybe the female audience won't like it too much, but as a straight man, I like to be reasonable.
In any case, from a philosophical point of view, Jiang Ziya's logic and ideological depth are better. From the point of view of appreciation, Nezha won completely, and Jiang Ziya saved the street.
