Then his mouth said:

"As urgent as the law!"

The matters needing attention are explained.

We can get down to business.

Jia Jiang: Zongxie 2

20 18 sequel to Taiwan Province province's hot horror film "Zongxie", produced by the original crew.

Starring a royal male director directed by Golden Horse Award winners Li Kangsheng and Cai Mingliang.

The story takes place in south-central Taiwan Province Province.

Many ancient folk customs have been preserved.

Geomantic mysticism, temple sacrifice, taboo legend ...

Compared with the first book, Zongxie 2 has made some progress in production and story completion.

Shantou is also more extreme.

It introduces Thailand's traditional evil god, the ghost teacher.

Against China's traditional ghost king Zhong Kui.

The so-called "Zongxie".

People who hang themselves, angry people, will look for the living to be scapegoats in order to cross over.

People who hang themselves one after another will be like a string of meat buns hanging from a beam with straw ropes.

From the beginning, the film was a large-scale "jiaozi Bundle".

In the basement of an old factory, one, two, three, four ... six zongzi are hung neatly.

The dead, a group of drug dealers.

Cause of death, ghost worship.

Master ghost, the most vicious evil spirit in Thailand, is often supported by drug dealers for prosperity.

You have watched too many horror movies, so you must know the evil custom of worshipping ghosts in Southeast Asia.

Raising evil spirits can be terrible if you are not careful.

Ahuo (Li Kangsheng) is an apprentice in a local temple.

It is the daily work of him, his master and his brother to deliver jiaozi with minced meat.

This mass hanging of drug dealers is not normal, so we must send it well.

But master genius, can they reach KPI so easily?

When Ah Huo untied the rope, a cloud of dust fell into his eyes.

Gan, it itches.

And it itches more and more.

My brother ran to see him. Mama of, fire eyes turned into blood red.

High energy ahead! High energy ahead!

3!

2!

1!

Master, his old man's eyes are sharp and his hands are quick, and "the magic weapon is as urgent as the law", and Ah Huo spits out a cloud of black gas in an instant.

He is fine, but the black gas has entered the master's body again.

Knowing that he could not escape this robbery, the old man took off his list, hung it around Ah Huo's neck, and attached his last words.

"Don't escape.

This is your destiny. "

After that, the evil spirits in the old man broke out and a sharp spell suddenly sounded in the basement. The eyes of the statue of the ghost Lord flashed red, the evil wind blew and the fire went out.

"I don't want you to go to heaven or go to hell."

Suddenly, a meatball cheated the body.

After a fierce scuffle, Ah Huo finally strangled him.

But take another look.

He was strangled, but it was his own master. ...

Since then, Ah Huo, who personally killed Master, has been burdened with heavy burdens and is unhappy.

He stopped asking about ghosts and gods, became a bottom worker, and drank like a dog all day.

Time, five years have passed in an instant.

The master of genius who was suppressed by them at great cost made a comeback.

This time, blood is a drug dealer, who is always waiting to make money.

He crouched under the bridge, furtively waiting for the informant to bring the goods-a box of Thai smuggled drugs hidden in coconuts.

In order to fix the box, he picked up a hemp rope from the water and tied it up.

You know, people who pick up things casually in horror movies generally have no good end.

He was riding his beloved scooter in the desolate suburb when suddenly a group of things came and blocked his view.

He overturned the car under a big tree.

Gump, my eyes itch!

Rub your life.

Looking up again, I saw a man hanging on the big tree next to him.

I saw the body turn around slowly.

How can it be yourself? (I won't let go of the original picture)

The next day, local residents found Chang Chang's body.

He died unlucky, so the local villagers asked the mage to send him away, and Ah Huo's brother was invited.

He is keenly aware that this hemp rope is related to the collective hanging of drug dealers they met in the past.

The prologue has begun.

If you don't give off this smell, it will kill people you come into contact with one after another like an infectious disease.

But now he is weak and exhausted, so it is difficult to complete one of the most critical ceremonies-Zhong Kui dance.

Dancing Zhong Kui means that the mage practices channeling with Zhong Kui and pretends to be Zhong Kui to frighten Sha Qi.

No choice, he had to go to Ah Huo and beg him to jump.

Five years later, A Huo was forced to face darkness and inner guilt.

Really, as Master said before he died, this is his destiny and there is no escape?

The other end.

The hostess Jia Min is the niece of the drug dealer's wife.

My parents died when I was very young, and then I lived with my aunt and uncle.

She can see ghosts and predict people's death, and she dreams about who may be GG soon.

Like Ah Huo, she is both a psychic and a person with a "destiny".

Her uncle's death also involved her in this dangerous struggle.

Ah Huo's master once said a word.

There is a thin line between fate and evil.

Those chosen by fate may represent justice to drive away evil spirits, or they may be used by evil spirits, leading to disaster.

After a strong ideological struggle, Ah Huo decided to face his "destiny" bravely.

He painted his face, dressed in red, and danced Zhong Kui.

A long line of zongzi delivery teams walked on the deserted street in the middle of the night, and the paper was scattered with the wind.

There are many things to pay attention to in the ceremony of sending zongzi. The more fierce the evil spirits are, the more careful they are.

Before sending zongzi, every household along the street should stay indoors, put paper on the doors and windows and put a broom upside down.

If pedestrians send zongzi to Lu Yu, they should turn their backs to avoid it.

The most important thing is not to be interrupted, otherwise it will fall short or lead to greater disaster.

But you should know that horror movies will definitely follow Murphy's law.

It's impossible without an accident.

Jia Min's aunt found half a statue of the Ghost Master at home and wanted to give it to the team for destruction.

As a result, I was moved.

She scribbled on the paper and kept rubbing her eyes. Obviously, she was possessed by a demon.

Then, people in the town were strangled.

What's the problem behind this?

Aunt Jia Min's ghost painting became the key to solve this secret.

The story of Zongxie 2 is actually not complicated, and it is a very basic exorcism mode of commercial films.

That is, the evil forces thoroughly remould themselves, gradually become stronger, and finally compete with the exorcists.

Its highlight lies in the application of regional characteristics and traditional folk elements.

Send meat buns, dance Zhong Kui, and aunt Taiwan Province folk chair. ...

In recent years, the horror films in Taiwan Province Province with traditional folk customs as their selling point have become a trend.

For example, in Memories of the Dead with the theme of ghost marriage, a man found a red envelope on the road and was entangled by the ghost bride.

There is also the famous horror film IP "Little Girl in Red" made by Cheng Weihao, the director of "The Soul", according to the folklore of "Mosinna" in Taiwan Province and the urban legend of "Little Girl in Red".

China's vast countryside, ancient legends and mysterious taboos are all rich in horror movies.

In 20 16, a small-budget horror film "Evil in China" in Chinese mainland was amazing, and it was also set in the strange "returning home" ceremony in the countryside.

Compared with exorcism and cults in western horror movies.

These traditional and local things can arouse the deep fear and recognition of China people.

"Zongxie 2" is undoubtedly the ultimate work to play this "folk custom" feature.

But it is also the most obvious exposure problem of this kind of horror film in Taiwan Province province in recent years.

The plot is unreasonable and the characters can't stand it.

In high-energy scenes, there are many materials, but they lose an imaginative aftertaste.

My aunt's madness and distortion caused most of the horror scenes in the movie. Aunt played so hard that the crew couldn't say no without an extra box lunch! )

High energy warning!

High energy warning!

But the deeper reason is.

"Zongxie 2" took the lead.

Compared with horror movies.

This is more like a promotional film to protect and promote traditional folk customs.

In movies, the way to do evil is to rub your eyes first and then hang yourself.

These evil spirits are either drug trafficking, domestic violence or bending the law.

This also confirms the theory of retribution-they all blind their eyes and bring their own destruction.

The negative force in the film is the foreign ghost teacher, and the method of confrontation is the traditional Taoist belief.

Things got worse several times in the movie because-my little brother died on the spot.

The police took away the magic rope on the grounds of obtaining evidence, so that the ceremony was not completed.

The mayor did not listen to dissuasion and took the lead in digging up the tree that hanged people.

Released the ghost owner buried under the tree.

It boils down to.

Disasters happen because modern people don't respect and believe in traditional beliefs.

There is nothing wrong with shooting like this.

But the film also lost its mystery.

Imagine, if traditional customs are a kind of positive energy to protect people, how can you still have fear?

Even the "chair aunt" who scared people at the beginning.

Became a helpful child.

At the climax of the film.

The sense of terror was swept away.

We only saw a high-burning scene, mission inheritance, superhero playing boss.

The ending of the movie.

It is to promote traditional culture and protect the positive energy of rural warmth.

In the view of Mr.

"Zongxie 2" is too eager to explore folk elements, too dependent on folk elements, too overhead folk elements.

On the contrary, a good theme loses its original charm.

Just when the horror film in Taiwan Province Province went too far.

We are faced with the creation of cooking without rice.

Compare the two.

Which is more embarrassing and helpless?
