Unlike ordinary movies, the easter eggs in traditional movies are only used as adjustments and occupy very little space.
As for the "Wulin Gaiden" movie, because it has been defined from the beginning as a fan-oriented theatrical version, and because it wants to bring an end to this IP, its movie structure is very different from ordinary movies.
After the main plot of Pei Zhicheng and Ji Weili ended, "Wulin Gaiden" staged nearly thirty minutes of Easter eggs.
In the first episode, Xiao Liu Wushuang got married, and after Guo and Tong Hao decided to get married, the second Easter egg changed to the story of Seven Heroes outside the town.
————
On a dirt road somewhere, a few vicious bandits were robbing people.
An old man knelt down and begged, saying that his money was going to the city to buy medicine for his seriously ill grandson, and begging the bandit leader for a way to survive.
The bandit leader ignored him, and when he saw that the old man refused, he immediately beat him with his fists and feet. The old man huddled in pain, but held the package tightly in his arms, refusing to give up. The furious bandit raised the machete in his hand.
chief
At the critical moment, a powerful stone shot down the machete.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Xiaobei, a man dressed as a woman and quite heroic, came riding a donkey with a smile and a bunch of uneaten candied haws in his hand.
"Bold thief, in broad daylight, everything is clear..."
Before she could finish her words, the bandit leader interrupted her harshly: "Where did you come from? You are tired of living and are looking for trouble for me. Lao Wu, take down Laizi for me."
Mo Xiaobei shook his head, reached out and patted the donkey on his crotch, and immediately flew forward, knocking down all the bandits with three strokes and five divided by two.
The bandits knelt down and begged for mercy. Mo Xiaobei announced his name proudly, Mo Xiaobei, leader of the Five Sacred Mountains and head of Hengshan Mountain.
The bandit leader was shocked: "Are you the murderous little witch Mo Xiaobei?"
Mo Xiaobei looked confused: "When did I kill someone?"
The bandit leader glanced at Mo Xiaobei quietly and replied cautiously: "Jiang... There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Dulong Dao Ma Ning, Elder An of the Feidao Sect, the Saint of the Five Poisons Sect, and the old man of the underworld, Mr. Yu, all died in the small town.
...He died in a miserable state at the hands of Alliance Leader Mo..."
After Mo Xiaobei heard this, he immediately got angry: "Dulong Dao was poisoned and killed by the Six Sects. I am just a theatergoer. Elder An of the Feidao Sect died in the Feidao Sect's internal fight. I was just there when he died."
I had a verbal dispute with him before.
I feel even more wronged by the Holy Girl of the Five Poison Sect. She clearly eloped with someone and was afraid of being hunted down by the Five Poison Sect, so she framed her on my head.
And Mr. Yu, he sprained his waist even though he insisted on beating me and I didn’t touch him. That old man is almost 80 years old. He is old and frail. He committed suicide by himself. It’s none of my business.
.”
"I'm so angry. I'm so angry."
After saying this, Mo Xiaobei was still angry. Seeing that all the people were gone, he had no intention of catching the bandits and going to the officials. He rode on his donkey angrily and yelled.
"I went to them to reason and asked them to restore my reputation."
Mo Xiaobei left angrily. Several bandits staggered and helped him to his feet. The bandit leader rolled his eyes as he looked at Mo Xiaobei who was leaving.
"Publish the news to the Jianghu, saying that Hengshan Mo Xiaobei is cruel, and when he catches people, he will chop them into pieces with his red flame knife and chop them into pieces.
"Brother, and more, Mo Xiaobei likes to eat people, no matter men, women, old or young, he will eat them if he catches them."
"Yes, she eats people alive and doesn't even train them."
"..."
A few bandits added fuel to the fire, and a few lines of words flashed on the screen. Half a month later, Mo Xiaobei got a new nickname [Red Flame Madman], and the heroes avoided him.
————
Despite his great reputation, he is a "virtual scholar".
This setting has been used throughout the whole drama of "Wulin Gaiden", telling the audience that rumors may not be true, and they must learn to look at problems dialectically.
There are many similar examples in the drama. The famous thief is actually a timid and kind-hearted pretty boy.
The number one female head catcher in the world actually got into the government office by relying on books written by others, and she only relied on the so-called "woman's intuition".
There are also Lu Xiucai's Guanzhong heroes, Zhuge Kongliang, the god of cooking in the capital, Yue Songtao, the leader of the Huashan School, Li Dazui, the kitchen knife sect...
The most representative one is the Hengshan Swordsmanship acquired by Mo Taichong, the head of the Hengshan sect, and the set of meat buns.
Nowadays, the Red Flame Madman, who has always been the favorite of fans of major [Yuba] dramas, actually follows this routine.
You must know that how Mo Xiaobei became the Red Flame Madman has always been one of the hotly discussed issues among fans of "Wulin Gaiden", and there are various speculations.
The most exaggerated ones are even associated with the destruction of Tongfu Inn, Mo Xiaobei's blackening, and the bloody massacre.
Some people also said that it was clearly stated in the play that the appearance of the time-traveling old man Lao Wu made Xiaobei fearful of practicing martial arts, and the Red Flame Mad Demon was stillborn.
However, many people also refute this statement, because in the later period of the "Wulin Gaiden" TV series, Mo Xiaobei's kung fu was already somewhat popular.
In Wushuang's words, it doesn't take two moves to deal with Xiao Liu. This level is already infinitely close to that of Xiao Guo.
Therefore, the statement that Xiaobei does not practice martial arts is not true at all. The Red Flame Mad Demon will still appear in the world, but I have never thought about how Xiaobei successfully evolved.
Until today, the official announcement of the movie "Wulin Gaiden" has been made.
The Scarlet Flame Madman deliberately discredited Mo Xiaobei's rumors.
The audience was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they quickly accepted this setting.
Most of Bai Zhantang's Thieves were framed by others, so why couldn't Mo Xiaobei's Scarlet Flame Demon be someone else's fault.
As the saying goes, if you start a rumor and refute it, you will lose your legs. There are not many things like this.
Audiences like Yiyiyueban who like to think deeply, even speculated whether Zuo Le was using this to ridicule other people's behavior of slandering him.
I made a special note of this point at 1:00 and a half, and planned to write it back in my own movie review.
Returning to the movie again, the third easter egg will be broadcast soon.
————
Mo Xiaobei, who had wandered around the world, returned to Qixia Town, and everyone at Tongfu Inn was finally reunited. After everyone gathered together.
Guo Furong began to give birth, shopkeeper Tong and Wu Shuang brought Po Wen to help, while Lu Xiucai was anxiously running around outside the door, followed by a baby's cry.
The first second generation of Tongfu Inn was born, a girl who could not cry after birth
Soon, everyone in the inn named the children, among them Lu Guo (aluminum pot), Lu Hejin (aluminum alloy), Lu Yixi, Lu·Angelina Yingxueyu Hanling·Furong, Lu Pin? (ji polyphonic characters)
) after Tongtong is killed.
Lu Xiucai personally named his daughter - Lu Qingning.
The reason is that Guo Furong liked to eat green lemons when she was pregnant. At that time, she thought that acidophilus gave birth to a son, but it turned out that she was a daughter. Lu Xiucai thought it was God's will.
Everyone thought the name sounded very nice and unanimously agreed.
A few months later, shopkeeper Tong also gave birth to a child, a son named by his grandmother Bai Sanniang. There has been no reply yet.
There happened to be a boy and a girl, so Tong Guo also followed the previous agreement and arranged a baby wedding for the two children.
That night, looking at his sleeping son, Bai Zhantang made an agreement with shopkeeper Tong that in order for his son not to follow his own path in the future, he decided not to teach his son martial arts and to take the path of liberal arts.
However, considering that Guo Furong was the mother-in-law, Tong Xiangyu suggested that martial arts might not be taught, but Qinggong could be taught so that in the event of domestic violence against her daughter-in-law, her son could still run away.
Bai Zhantang fell into deep thought.
————
The movie specifically included this Easter egg, allowing some viewers with quick minds to guess whether Zuo Le was deliberately digging holes to leave buttons.
Will you make a TV series specifically about "The Descendants of Tongfu Inn" in the future?
But before they could think about it, the fourth easter egg arrived.
————
At night, Bai Zhantang and Da Zui drank on the roof, Da Zui looked depressed.
Everyone in the inn, except for Xiaobei, who is a minor, has found a place to go, and has even started having children, but he is still alone.
Facing the half-drunk Dazui, Bai Zhantang asked him if Dazui regretted what happened to the female thief Liu Xingyu.
Dazui was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked into the sky: "I still like Huilan."
The camera moved down, and under the corridor on the roof, Liu Xingyu, who was carrying a baggage, heard Dazui's words.
She looked at the moon in the sky, smiled suddenly, and walked into Tongfu Inn resolutely.
The next day, Dazui covered his hungover head and woke up from the kang in a daze. Liu Xingyu looked at him with a hot towel in his hands, just like when they first met him, with the same smile as before, Wu Nong said softly.
"Brother Zui, you finally woke up, wash your face."
————
The plot ends abruptly here, leaving the rest for the audience to ponder.
Then the fifth and final easter egg was broadcast.
Still at the entrance of Tongfu Inn, shopkeeper Tong, Lao Bai, Lu Xiucai, Xiao Guo, Xiao Liu, Wu Shuang, Xiao Bei, Dazui, and the newly joined Liu Xingyu.
The beggar Xiaomi was carrying a baggage on his back and holding his dog-beating stick in his hand. He said with great enthusiasm that he had been promoted to the chief helm of the Beggar Clan. The next time everyone sees him, he will be the elder Mi of the Beggar Clan.
"Everyone, let's see you in the world."
After that, Xiaomi said goodbye to everyone in the inn who was reluctant to leave with blessings, and walked into the alley that symbolized farewell.
After Xiaomi left, everyone stood talking and talking about their future plans.
Shopkeeper Tong is about to open an inn branch in Hexi, and will leave it to Da Zui and Liu Xingyu to take care of it. Lao Bai will accompany her to manage the old shop.
She believes that the future economic situation is likely to be great, so she plans to open more branches and spread the name of Tongfu Inn throughout Guanzhong.
Guo Furong became pregnant again, and the scholar prepared to accompany his daughter-in-law to prepare for childbirth and prepare for the imperial examination.
With a young family, the scholar felt deeply that he had a heavy responsibility. The income from the accounting office could not bring a good life to his family, so he wanted to try again to see if he could win the imperial examination.
Xiao Liu captured Ji Weili last time and made great achievements. He is currently preparing to return to Qixia Town.
At that time, he will probably be promoted to the chief catcher of several nearby towns due to his merit. Not only will he be promoted, but he will also be reunited with Wushuang.
Mo Xiaobei plans to set off again soon to explore the world and carry forward the Hengshan sect left to her by her father and brother.
Childhood playmate Qiu Xiaodong planned to defect to her because he failed in the imperial examination, and Mo Xiaobei planned to make him deputy head.
As everyone was talking, they suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at each other, looked at the camera, and waved gently just like the finale of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden".
Only this time, no one said goodbye.
The screen fell into darkness, and then five words appeared——
