casting

Zhang Xiaofan is very important in this film, director Cheng Xiaodong first saw Xiao Zhan when the eyes lit up, think he is very suitable for this role, and said that Xiao Zhan's simple and unpolished temperament and the original Zhang Xiaofan ordinary kind setting complement each other.

Cheng Xiaodong said Baguio as a heavy responsibility of the magic heir, the piece more want to highlight her stubborn independent character. And Meng Meiqi independent study practice from childhood, which and the role of a strong and kind person set is in line.

Clothing modeling

In order to ensure the texture, Xi sews the costumes by hand, and then meticulously polishes them according to the character's setting.

Zhang Xiaofan to simple and honest image, so on the makeup will be sprinkled with some special paint, but also specially made sunburn, freckle feeling, to create a year round living in the Qingyun gate mountain feeling, enhance the film realism. The clothes are mostly rough cloth clothes, and the hair is casually pulled up.

In order to show Baguio's beautiful and agile personality, in terms of modeling, the clothing design did not use long and elegant design, but adopted a more convenient way to deal with Baguio's action to meet her lively characteristics, and the hair also revealed the girl's spirit and spirit.

Combat design

Cheng Xiaodong himself is a martial arts director, and his films also make some efforts to use the "kung fu" element. He starts from the actor himself, and wants the actor to do it rather than blindly pursuing the beautiful action. It may not be a very difficult action, but the actors are themselves, can do the action without a double.

VFX

In order to present the spirit "Water Qilin" with Oriental characteristics in the original work, the crew strictly controlled the concept and details of the form and other levels.

Film evaluation

The story is illogical and stops abruptly in the middle of the story; The whole film uses dubbing, and the dubbing does not match the lip-sync, which calls people out of play. Xiao War, Meng Meiqi acting is still ok; Xiao Zhan's acting is more outstanding, Meng Meiqi is a bit raw, but also does not play (" Beijing News "review).

The styling team of the film did not hand over a satisfactory answer, from the lead actor to the supporting role of the same clothing and "tweet" hairstyle, people are disappointed, and the whole dubbing is not sincere. Judging from the presentation effect of the film, Cheng Xiaodong's skills are still in place, and at least there are no big landslides and mistakes in camera scheduling and action design. The script narrative is complete, the logic basically stands on the foot, the characters also have a more complete character line description, but perhaps in order to seek stability, the plot in the small love small love circle, the pattern is not large enough. For Xianxia film, too strong city life atmosphere, but also a bit off topic. The problem of "Jade Dynasty I" is that it lacks the aura that transforms mediocrity into magic, and the aura and chivalry that Xianxia films need most. At the same time, the film has the ambition to restore the world of Zhu Xian through a series of works, but it is inevitable that there is too much white space for the sequel, so that the audience feels that it stops abruptly and does not know what is going on (Surging News review).
