Although the plot of the movie "Painted Skin" has been modified a bit, it is not particularly complicated overall.

During a bandit suppression, General Wang Sheng rescued a young girl named Xiao Wei who claimed to have been captured by bandits. Since she was homeless, she took her home.

Xiao Wei is smart and polite, and is very good at handling interpersonal relationships. Within a short period of time after entering the palace, she had a close relationship with Wang Sheng and his wife Pei Rong.

Wang Sheng and Pei Rong had been married for many years, but due to the seven-year itch and no heirs, their relationship had a slight fluctuation.

The appearance of Xiao Wei intensified the fluctuation. Wang was so excited that he became entangled with his beloved wife. The virtuous Peirong wanted to help her husband, but did not want to involve a third party.

Xiao Wei is relatively simple. She is a fox demon who has fallen in love with Wang Sheng and wants to have sex, so she is tempted and hooked up with her in various ways, and Wang Sheng is wavered repeatedly.

In this scene, there is a passionate scene between Mr. Zhou and Cao Xuan, but it is more artistic. Cao Xuan is naked from the waist up in the hot spring pool, and Mr. Zhou, dressed in cool clothes, seduces him enchantingly.

This paragraph in the movie plot is not a real hey hey, but Wang Sheng's fantasy under Xiao Wei's charm.

The effects are presented through various shots of Cao and Zhou, but when they actually hug each other, the scene switches to a hot spring pool with turbulent waves and splashing water. Click until you click, and the rest is left to your imagination.

audience:"……"

That's it? I've taken off my pants, you show me this?

Zinima, refund your money!!!

The first 1/3 of the whole movie is basically a triangle relationship with all kinds of tangled hookups. It also foreshadows Xiao Wei's desire to eat, and the panic among the people in the city, which leads to the demon-conquering man Duan Long.

The appearance of Duan Long quickly brought about a plot twist.

Wang Sheng leads the troops to suppress the evildoers every day. His wife Pei Rong silently waits and comforts Wang Sheng. As the general's wife, she takes care of the army's logistics and appeases the people in the city. Her gentle and virtuous nature makes Wang Sheng, who was originally thinking about Xiao Wei, gradually face his inner feelings.

.

So after being seduced by Xiao Wei again, she flatly refused and broke off directly.

Then Xiao Wei turned evil, threatening Wang's life and massacre of the people, forcing Pei Rong to obey his orders, slandering Pei Rong as a demon, and blaming Pei Rong. At the same time, he also wanted to kill her, so that he and Wang Sheng would live together.

Pei Rong drank the evil poison, turned white-haired and ugly, and looked like a demon, which attracted the fear and targeting of the people in the city.

Only two and a half people believed in him, one was the demon-conqueror who had a magic weapon at his side, and the other was the loyal maid Damimi.

The remaining half was Wang Sheng who was dubious, but public opinion was fierce. In order to maintain the majesty of the general's palace, he was determined to "exterminate relatives for justice."

But at the critical moment, the Demon Conqueror came to the rescue. During the fight, Wang Sheng injured Pei Rong and stabbed the opponent with a sword. Pei Rong was heartbroken, but the Demon Conqueror rescued him.

After this incident, Xiao Wei prepared to become his own Mrs. Wang, but when she saw that Wang Sheng seemed to have lingering feelings for her, she still worried about Pei Rong and prepared to eradicate her.

She unexpectedly learned that Peirong had sent a maid to contact Wang Sheng. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, she transformed into Wang Sheng and followed the maid to a valley.

Seeing Pei Rong who was seriously injured in the valley, Xiao Wei prepared to kill him with a fatal blow, but found that the maid suddenly ran away, and there was suddenly a demon conqueror beside Pei Rong.

After a few handprints of the Demon Conqueror, the rocks in the valley changed and fell off, and suddenly turned into a formation. Xiao Wei was restrained and suppressed by the formation, unable to maintain the painting skin and the art of transformation, revealing the fox's appearance.

At this time, a group of cavalry arrived. The leader, Wang, pointed his long sword and shouted: "This woman is the real demon. My wife was harmed by her. Brothers, follow me to kill the demon."

The scene flashed back, and it turned out that all this was a trap.

When Pei Rong was a demon, Wang Sheng was half-convinced on the surface, but in fact he didn't believe that Pei Rong was a demon at all. His previous appearance was just a show.

When he and the Demon Conqueror worked together to suppress the lizard spirit, the other party concluded that there was evil spirit in the house. Wang Sheng thought it was the warlock's lies and ignored it.

But the extraordinary behavior he and Xiao Wei later made Wang Sheng a little suspicious. When he learned that Pei Rong was a demon, his first reaction was that someone was harming Pei Rong.

Therefore, before "killing relatives for justice", he reached a tacit agreement with the Demon Conqueror to rescue Pei Rong first, stabilize the situation, and then slowly take action.

Pei Rong didn't know the inside story, so she was heartbroken after being stabbed. She indirectly hid it from Xiao Wei, making her relax her vigilance.

In the next few days, Wang Sheng ostensibly dispatched troops to capture and suppress the demons, and then gave Peirong the previous task of preparing logistics and appeasing the people.

It makes Xiao Wei think that she is about to become the general's wife, and she has a love brain attack, further relaxing her vigilance.

Wang Sheng secretly contacted the demon-conquering person, reconciled with Pei Rong, and prepared to slay the demon.

However, Xiao Wei has great demon power and is assisted by lizard spirits. He cannot be defeated by a direct attack and can easily hurt innocent people.

Therefore, we have to mobilize the tiger away from the mountain, lure the opponent outside the city, suppress it with formations, and then encircle and suppress them together.

So several people discussed it and decided on a plan.

Xiao Wei eats because she loves eating, but also to maintain her beauty. Now that the "demon" Pei Rong has escaped, in order to ensure that Wang Sheng is not suspicious, the people in the city cannot move, and the drama queen can only go outside to hunt business travelers.

Without this right-hand man, Xiao Wei could only take matters into her own hands, and at Pei Rong's request, she became the bait.

The maid brought a demon-conquering magic weapon, which could influence the opponent's thoughts and further lower Xiao Wei's vigilance. Coupled with Wang Sheng acting and playing drums, Xiao Wei was finally forced to kill her love rival by herself.

Under the arrangement of the demon-conquering man, the valley has become a demon-conquering position. Wang Sheng secretly led a team of elite soldiers to ambush nearby, waiting for the signal to lead the troops to attack.

Xiao Wei did not expect that she would be killed by Wang Sheng and others due to her painstaking calculations.

Seeing his beloved Wang Sheng and Pei Rong looking at each other tenderly, the eyes looking at him were full of disgust and murderous intent, and then Xiao Wei completely turned black.

However, the preparatory preparations by the Demon Conqueror and Wang Sheng were no joke. Although they paid some price, they still suppressed Xiao Wei firmly.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, the lizard spirit returned to the city and realized something was wrong. He used his magic to find Xiao Wei and destroyed the formation. Then he tried his best to block the Demon Subduer and Wang Sheng, giving Xiao Wei time to break the formation.

In the end, Wang Sheng and the two of them joined forces and at the cost of serious injuries, Wang Sheng finally hacked the lizard spirit to death, but it was too late.

Xiao Wei broke out of the formation and saw the lizard spirit dead, and became even more crazy. Wang and Sheng, who were already seriously injured, were no match at all, and the situation suddenly reversed.

Even so, Xiao Wei, who loves Wang Sheng, still doesn't want to kill Wang Sheng and forces Pei Rong to commit suicide. Then she plans to erase Wang Sheng's memory and continue to live together.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng lay in the arms of Pei Rong who ran over, said something, then looked at his wife infatuatedly, and committed suicide with a knife.

After Wang Sheng died, Pei Rong was not sad. She said something to Xiao Wei, probably because we are true love, we share the same point in life and death, and we share the same hole in death. She took Wang Sheng's knife and wiped her neck.

Xiao Wei was greatly hit, collapsed completely, and let out a desperate roar, her heart was filled with despair.

At the critical moment, the Demon Conqueror launched a fatal attack, but Xiao Wei did not dodge at all, and deliberately begged for death. She stroked Wang Sheng's face and said something regrettable that it was not me who met you first, and then she died too.

But before she died, she used her demon elixir to revive Wang Sheng and Pei Rong.

The man who subdued the demon felt that all living beings had feelings, made great progress in cultivation, and left in a daze.

Wang Sheng and Pei Rong experienced life and death, and their relationship became more sincere and affectionate. They even gave birth to a child, and were promoted to the capital.

The carriage drove away on the official road, and on the sand dunes not far away, a small lizard and a white fox appeared.

It doesn't explain who they are, it's just a little easter egg, leaving a blank space for the audience to imagine.

Movie is over!

………

Compared with the plot of the original "Painted Skin", the plot framework of this version is not much different, but the changes in details are relatively large.

The main one is Wang Sheng, the male protagonist. From the tool man in the original version, he has become a brave and resourceful general, and he almost succeeded in killing the villain. His character design is quite outstanding.

There is no way, Cao Xuan is the one who sells tickets for the cast and crew.

Even if he is determined to be a tool man, the screenwriter and director dare not completely ignore him, and additional scenes are inevitable.

Moreover, a large number of hexagonal romances have been deleted. The Demon Conqueror alone is too monotonous. The interaction between the male protagonist and the male protagonist can better advance the plot.

As for the love line, there aren't many changes from the original version. The original version was a bit worse, but I still chose my wife.

This version has a better image. Although he is tempted, he has always been loyal to his wife. The so-called love triangle is more of wishful thinking.

As for the two heroines, Xiao Wei has not changed much. Infatuation is the biggest character design. Although she does many evil things, the premise of everything is for Wang Sheng.

The final part where he was so frustrated and begging for death was even a little sympathetic, and the whole character was greatly improved.

Pei Rong has slightly more changes. Compared to the original version, which was restrained everywhere and was like a doormat, this version is softer on the outside and tougher on the inside. She cooperates with her husband to fight back and defeat the little one.

If the original version of "Painted Skin" is about the mistress of the main palace fighting each other, with the male protagonist in a dilemma, but still siding with his wife, then the Stars version is more like a couple fighting to defend their marriage, joining forces to fight against the mistress.

Perhaps some of the delicate entanglement of emotions has been sacrificed, but the rhythm of the plot is more satisfying.

Cao Xuan personally prefers this version.

Although he could understand the thoughts of the protagonists in the original "Painted Skin", they were indeed a bit hypocritical. If he were Wang Sheng, he would either find a way to sleep with him or kill Xiao Wei.

Considering that Xiao Wei killed countless people, Cao Xuan preferred the latter.

Of course, this is also because the combat power settings are different. The monsters in the original "Painted Skin" are more powerful, and the decent ones are basically no match, and they rely entirely on the plot to kill them.

Fanxing's version of Demon Conqueror is more capable, Wang Sheng's strength is not weak, and the decent strength is just inferior, but it is not without the ability to counterattack, so it can be counterattacked if implemented.

It's hard to say whether the final change of Fanxing's version of "Painted Skin" has anything to do with Cao Xuan.

After all, his opinions and perceptions as a big boss have a great influence on the screenwriter and director. Perhaps a few words from the script discussion meeting and specific shooting changed the tone of the movie.

The two versions of "Painted Skin" each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which version is better can only be said to be a matter of opinion and wisdom.

The movie has been filmed, and it's too late to regret it. Word of mouth and box office are the most important.

The popularity of "Painted Skin" is no joke. That night, the ratings were released on Time.com. Nearly 3,000 people voted, and the initial rating was 7.6.

The comments from netizens and viewers ranged from positive to negative, with most of them being positive, but there was also a certain amount of negative.

【Long Gong Mo Yue】: good-looking, five stars

[I am currently reading]: Fraudulent trailer. When I first compared the trailer with the plot of the movie, I almost had a split personality. I am an old liar.

[Hungry Beauty]: Mr. Zhou’s acting skills are amazing. He plays a fox demon who doesn’t understand emotions but longs for them very vividly. Although she is quite bad, I still feel a little pity for her.

[WangOwang]: Old Monster Xu really has a couple of shots at women. Mr. Zhou is amazingly beautiful, Hu Jing is also very charming, and even the little maid is much prettier than usual.
