Chapter 111: Fully upgraded Lotus Lantern

Soon the second episode of”Baolian Lantern” begins. Chenxiang accidentally enters the underworld. The judge of the underworld is ready to send him to the eighteen levels of hell for trespassing. Heibai Wuchang is also sentenced to dismissal because of Chenxiang’s involvement.……

There is no lack of depictions of the underworld in mythological dramas

Especially in classic masterpieces such as”Journey to the West”, there are many descriptions of the image of the underworld, so the audience will have a general concept when the underworld is mentioned, but there has never been a TV series that can make the underworld feel so realistic!

Ghosts and monsters!

The ghost soldiers are passing through!

There are ghosts wandering around!

Among them, the underworld ghost soldiers are portrayed in several shots. Whether in terms of clothing or temperament, this group of ghost soldiers forms a sharp contrast with the image of the heavenly soldiers and generals in the opening of the first episode. The appearance of the gloomy judge makes the atmosphere depressing all of a sudden, not to mention the various strange buildings in the underworld under the blessing of special effects and some weird soundtracks.

The original version is for children

So this part was shot very casually and even a little shocking, but Li Qi and Liu Daqing were always setting the pace during the filming. Finally, the play became serious and serious. It can be said that their efforts completely eliminated the influence of childishness in the play, and there was no feeling of a group of underworld soldiers smiling and playing. Every penny of the costumes and makeup was spent on the blade.

On the small screen

Just as the judge ordered the punishment of Chenxiang and the Black and White Impermanence, a red-faced underworld official suddenly appeared and ran in in a panic:”Judge, judge, someone is coming from heaven!”

“Someone from heaven?”

The judge stood up suddenly:”Who?”

Before the red-faced clerk could open his mouth, Roaring Sky Dog’s voice came from afar, with a hint of bullying:”Of course it’s my honorable master, Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun.”

Swish, swish, swish!

Instantly, countless eyes turned to the door. A man in a black robe, with a slender figure and a handsome face walked in. He seemed to be unaffected by the atmosphere of the underworld and seemed to be strolling in the garden.

“Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun”

“It turned out that he was here!”

“The famous god of war in the three realms!”

“The current god of justice in heaven!”

Even the previously extremely cold-blooded ghost soldiers suddenly changed their expressions at this moment, and the judge’s attitude took a 180-degree turn, without any trace of the previous seriousness and coldness, and the forced smile even had a bit of flattery:”Second Master, I didn’t expect you to come, please forgive me for not welcoming you in person!”

“Oh”

Roaring Sky Dog was really arrogant, and he sneered, stared at the judge, and raised his chin high:”Do you think you can call us Second Master?”

“True…True Lord……”

The judge was so frightened that he immediately changed his words.

Chenxiang’s eyes widened, and he recognized Yang Jian as the man who said he knew his mother. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Jian spoke first:”How many years will Liu Chenxiang live?”

“eighty!”

The judge answered immediately

Yang Jian glanced at Chenxiang, but did not reminisce about the past with him. He just said calmly,”Then add another twenty years to make it a whole number. By the way, what mistake did Heibai Wuchang make?”

“They commit……”

The judge was about to answer when he noticed Roaring Sky Dog’s threatening look and suddenly changed his words,”No, no, no, they are fine. I’ll release them all right now. What are you standing there for? Hurry up and release them. Hey, I’ll also add 20 years to Liu Chenxiang’s life span. My Lord, why don’t you stay for a while while I go and ask the King of Hell to come over.”……”

“No”

Yang Jian looked at Chen Xiang and said,”Let’s go.”

The next moment, several figures disappeared in the underworld. The judge breathed a sigh of relief, and the clerk beside him was also terrified:”Are the people in heaven so arrogant?”

“You know shit”

The judge said unhappily,”Do I need to be so humble to an ordinary deity in heaven? He is Erlang Shen, a man that even Sun Wukong can’t do anything to him. He is also a famous war god in the Three Realms. Not to mention me, even if the King of Hell is here today, he has to be polite to him. How many people in the Three Realms dare not take him seriously!” (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“Yes, yes, yes”

The judge nodded repeatedly, then said suspiciously:”I just don’t know where Liu Chenxiang came from, how could he make Erlang Shen come to our underworld to ask for someone, and even casually increase his life span.……”

“Shut up”

The judge said coldly:”For this kind of important matter, no matter what you saw or heard, you must pretend that you didn’t hear or see it, otherwise one day you will die without knowing how you died.”

“……”[]

Very clichéd pretense

Similar to the original plot, the portrayal of the underworld, the image of each character, the status of the characters, etc., are all portrayed very deeply in this plot. Even Li Qi, who knew the plot in advance, had to praise Erlang Shen for being so handsome, but then he felt that this was not good.——

Actually, it’s not Li Qi’s fault for being narcissistic.

Although it was not the first time for him to watch a TV series in which he acted, Li Qi always felt that he was out of character when he saw his characters appear in the past. However, in The Lotus Lantern, he felt that his character was not out of character for the first time.

This feeling

It’s very rare for Li Qi

And it has to be said that the fully upgraded costumes, props and special effects, plus the change of the original childish style, have greatly improved the overall quality of”The Lotus Lantern”. Even the script seems to have been refined as a result. The plot is similar to the original, but a slightly different way of expression has created a nearly perfect effect.

Yang Jian of Jiao En County

Why has it become a classic?

The acting skills and the fit of the role are one reason, and there is another very, very tacky but almost true reason (good Li Zhao), that is, he is good-looking enough. Although the overall style of Erlang Shen played by Li Qi is somewhat different from that of Jiao Enjun’s version, they have this in common.

That’s cool!

Whether it was his first appearance setting up a dragnet to capture the Three Holy Mothers or pretending to be cool in the underworld as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, or later when Yang Jian came to ask for Chenxiang after he was captured by Princess Iron Fan, Erlang Shen’s style was highlighted all the time!

Identity, status, strength, and wisdom!

The same is true for Yang Jian in”The Lotus Lantern”. Such a character can be said to be born to be cool, not to mention that in addition to these almost perfect conditions, he also has a heart that no one can see through! all in all

After CCTV-1 broadcast the first two episodes of”The Lotus Lantern”, many forums exploded, and the focus of everyone’s discussion was the character played by Li Qi in the drama, Erlang Shen Yang Jian!
