Hualong Network News (Cao Kai) On July 17, Changan Mazda’s first B-class sedan based on a pure electric platform, the MAZDA EZ-6, was officially rolled off the production line at the Nanjing factory. The MAZDA EZ-6 has made several appearances at the Beijing Auto Show and the Chongqing Auto Show, attracting the attention of the industry and many fans. As Changan Mazda’s first new energy model, its arrival can be said to be highly anticipated!

At the event, Wang Jun, president of Chongqing Changan Automobile joint stock company and chairperson of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., said that at present, China’s automobile industry is accelerating its transformation to high-end, intelligent and green, which is both a challenge and an opportunity. It also brings new opportunities for Changan Automobile and Mazda to further deepen cooperation. For a long time, Changan Automobile and Mazda have established and maintained a long-term and good strategic cooperative relationship. Whether it is strategic demands, business philosophy, product technology, channel layout, globalization and other aspects, they are highly compatible, fully trusting, open and sharing, setting a benchmark for joint venture cooperation.

As the flagship of the joint venture new energy car, the EZ-6 is also a very comprehensive product. The length, width and height of the new car are 4921/1890/1485mm, and the wheelbase is 2895mm, reaching the body size of the B-class car.

And it also inherits the Mazda Soul design concept. The unique design beauty is combined with the new elements of the electric era, which not only maintains the classic belonging to Mazda, but also is very avant-garde and fashionable. The interior of the new cabin is equipped with a 14.6-inch high definition LCD touch screen, and with a 7-nanometer process Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, the interactivity and entertainment are comparable to current new energy models. In terms of comfort, the EZ-6 also has 64-color ambient lights and SONY custom advanced surround sound system, plus a rare zero-gravity seat in the same class, which further enhances the comfort of the whole vehicle.

For a brand born for sports, the handling of the EZ-6 has always been a topic that everyone talks about. The driving pleasure of "people and horses" will well demonstrate its new driving senses in the field of electrification. As a fine mechanized product, the tuning of the car itself tests a brand’s understanding and technical skills for the car. In order to ensure a smooth driving feeling, the new car is re-fitted to the power output curve of the tram, achieving a new tram calibration with both Mazda driving feeling and strong power. At the same time, it also has three driving modes: ECO, Comfort, and Sport, or choose a custom driving mode to meet the needs of different scenarios. It is worth mentioning that it also comes with an intelligent electric tail, and there are simulated sound waves, which can be described as "the heart moves with music" and "the car moves with the wings". I believe that such a tram will not get motion sickness, but also have a very driving soul.

In terms of intelligent driving assistance that everyone is keen on, the new car is an intelligent driving system composed of 4 megapixel high definition panoramic cameras and 12 high-performance ultrasonic radars, providing functions such as driving assistance, hazard perception and hazard avoidance. In addition, the EZ-6 also has AR-HUD with an optimal visual perception distance of 7.5 meters and intelligent parking functions such as automatic parking, remote control parking, remote control entry and exit, remote intelligent parking, and traced reversing. These functions are not only very practical, but also can bring more convenience and security to our daily car use.

Safety has always been one of Mazda’s advantages. The EZ-6 body is made of thermoformed materials with the highest strength of 2000Mpa in the industry. Among them, the top cover beam is made of 1500Mpa of the world’s highest strength cold-rolled steel. The industry’s first mass production of ultra-low emission and ultra-high strength steel reduces carbon emissions by 60% compared with traditional steel. The 7 horizontal and 5 vertical "all-steel cage structure group" takes the passive safety of EZ-6 to a higher level.

In addition, it is also equipped with 9 airbags as standard in the whole system, and the passive safety of the members in the car is also guaranteed. In terms of crucial three-electric safety, the battery safety protection level is IP69, which is also the highest level of waterproof and dustproof, and there is also a car + cloud BMS intelligent dual monitoring, 24-hour temperature sensing alarm, and digital battery housekeeper technology, which can realize 24-hour all-weather monitoring. In terms of battery safety, the aerogel material in the space capsule suit in aerospace technology is used as the fireproof pad insulation material, which can achieve high temperature barrier above 1200 ° C in extreme cases. The active safety and passive safety of the whole vehicle, as well as the safety of the three-electric system, are very well done.

In order to give users more choices, the EZ-6 also provides both extended range and pure electric power. It is reported that the peak power of the extended range version is 160kW, and the CLTC battery life reaches 1000km. The fast charge time of 30-80% of the battery is 20 minutes; the peak power of the pure electric model is 190kW, the CLTC battery life reaches 600km, and the fast charge time of 30-80% of the battery is 15 minutes. The performance on the battery life is also full of sincerity.

The launch of the Changan Mazda EZ-6 signals that Changan Mazda has firmly entered the new energy era. The new car has several advantages beyond the same level of joint venture products, such as zero-gravity seats, intelligent cockpit technology configuration, intelligent application scenarios, and unique Mazda sports genes. We believe this product will be a landmark heavyweight product for Mazda in China.

Recently, the brand-new models of Lantu Automobile have been showcased in front of exhibition halls across the country, featuring a brand-new design with a youthful, fashionable and sporty orientation. At the same time, they also have good highlights in terms of mileage and interior design, displaying a unique sense of fun.

Specifically, in terms of appearance, the new car adopts an overall sporty style. The front face still maintains the through-type light strip led by the Landscape logo, and is connected to a flat daytime running light group. The far and near lights are located below, and with the trapezoidal lower grille light and other elements, it looks simple and fashionable. Of course, the sports version has a more exaggerated depression, and the black front face design is impressive. On the side of the body, the 4725/1900/1636 mm body measurements and the 2900 mm wheelbase are actually not small. The sporty style is adopted. The roof has a significant drop, the D-pillar tilt angle is very large, and there is a special C-pillar decoration. The suspended roof, the collision side body is standard, and the hidden door handle and frameless door will not be absent.

The wheel hub adopts a very characteristic aerodynamic sports shape, which combines a variety of attributes, and there is a special decoration below the A-pillar to enhance the design sense. The thick luggage rack enhances the practicality, and the through taillights at the rear part of the car continue the brand’s in-style. The large tilt angle rear windshield leads to a large-size roof spoiler, the small duck tail and Landscape letter logo below, and the rear bumper part is added with a special black decoration, highlighting the attributes of sports and unifying the style of the whole car.

In the interior part, the front row of the new car seems to be quite simple in design. The straight Chinese countertop is inserted with a suspended large-size LCD screen, and the narrow strip dashboard and Hud head-up display form a three-screen linkage. However, in fact, the Chinese screen can slide left and right at a considerable amplitude, and the control is silky and smooth. This solves the problem of the passenger entertainment screen at a limited cost. It is no wonder that a narrow adjustment dashboard must be designed behind the steering wheel to display basic driving information. In addition, the front end area of the armrest box is a strong Landscape style, double cup holders, wireless charging panels for mobile phones will not be absent, and the holding mechanism is of course standard. The steering wheel itself has a special two-frame structure, which organically combines the sense of avant-garde and sports. Elements such as the flocked roof also enhance the attributes of sports.

The rear space benefits from the 2900 mm wheelbase, don’t worry, it is also worth mentioning that the door opening method is neither the traditional handle design, nor is it the same as other solutions from friends. It is integrated into the door handle, which is very creative, but it may take up some storage space. And the trunk space also has a good performance. In terms of power, the car is currently the main pure electric version, the entry version is more accessible, the rear single motor has a maximum power of 292 horsepower and 313 horsepower, and the top model is an electronically controlled four-wheel drive system composed of 435 horsepower dual motors. Performance is not the main appeal of the car, focusing on battery life. The ordinary version can reach 650 kilometers, and there is a special 266,900 yuan long battery life version, equipped with 109 kWh Ningde era group.

The pure electric cruising range has reached 901 kilometers. At this time, the car is still the longest pure electric SUV that can be bought directly in the domestic market. The 800-volt frame and silicon carbide motor are indispensable. What kind of performance can it have in the future is very worth looking forward to.

In terms of building high-end cars, the Xingtu brand is undoubtedly the leader from behind. Not only has it successfully established the high-end image of Chinese brands, but the market performance is also very awesome. The sales volume exceeded 68,800 in the first July of this year, an increase of 28.3% year-on-year.

In the face of a serious domestic market, the Xingtu brand has advanced hand in hand in the field of fuel vehicles and new energy, and its product strength has played an important role.

A few days ago, the 2025 Xingtu Lanyue was officially launched, and the price of 4 versions of the new car was 193,900 yuan – 233,900 yuan. Compared with the old models, the practicality and technological sense of the new car have been upgraded, which further enriches the product matrix of the Xingtu brand and helps the Xingtu brand continue to make efforts.

The front face has been upgraded, making it more atmospheric.

Overall, the 2025 model has not changed much compared to the old model, and individual aspects have been improved. In terms of appearance, the car uniformly adopts the front face of the international version, cancels the straight waterfall grille, and unifies it into a banner-type air intake grille. With the headlights of the styling series, it creates a good visual effect; the taillights adopt a through-type shape, and the exhaust layout of the two sides is double, which greatly increases the sporty atmosphere.

In addition to the stylish appearance, the 2025 Lanyue also adds a sky blue color scheme, the texture of the car paint looks more advanced, providing consumers with more choices. In addition, the car also adds a chassis guard to take care of the user’s car.

Interior upgrade, luxurious and practical

Entering the car, the 12.3-inch LCD dashboard, 15.6-inch multimedia screen, and 12.3-inch entertainment screen for the co-pilot bring a full sense of technology to the 2025 model.

At the same time, the new car’s million-dollar luxury interior is advanced to make people’s eyes shine. The new Muguang orange interior, compared with the previous black interior, makes the new car look more elegant and luxurious; the peripheral trim of the large screen is replaced with black chrome, the silver handle in the car is replaced with dark color, and the ceiling and armrest box are also flocked, which further enhances the texture of the whole car.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4970 * 1940 * 1792mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, creating a good seven-seat space. In particular, the third row of space is the largest in the same class. From the data point of view: the sitting height is 274mm, the leg space is 804mm, and the head space is 961mm. Compared with some models’ nominal seven-seat cars, the third row of the 2025 Xingtu Lunar Range is not only wide in space, but also has electric adjustable seats. The large space really lives up to its name.

In terms of comfort, the Queen’s co-pilot + exclusive main driver is also a major attraction of the new car. The front seat cushions and backrests have functions such as heating and ventilation, as well as five massage modes, which greatly enhance the driving comfort.

In addition, compared to some current models that use touch keys for operation, the 2025 model has added physical buttons to the in-car control. For drivers, it is more convenient to operate blindly, and its practical effect is significantly enhanced.

Intelligent advanced, non-sensory interconnection

In terms of intelligence, the 2025 model is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 car-grade chip, and the overall processing speed is also very fast. A variety of commonly used functions can be found at the bottom of the screen.

Secondly, the new car also upgraded the Hicar 4.0 system, bringing new intelligent experiences such as non-sensory interconnection and mobile phone ecology, making human-machine interaction smoother. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a 23-speaker sound system, bringing consumers the ultimate sound experience.

It has to be said that in terms of configuration, the 2025 Xingtu Luoyue fully demonstrates the more the better. Various industry-leading configurations are currently reflected in this car. For example, the front row dual 50W wireless charging function can meet the wireless charging of two mobile phones at the same time.

In terms of intelligent safety, the 2025 model is equipped with a high-end ADAS driver assistance system, including HWA highway driver assistance, NOC high-speed navigation driver assistance, advanced driver assistance, intelligent avoidance, HPA memory parking function, and MEB low-speed reversing emergency braking function, providing comprehensive protection in safe driving.

In terms of power, the new car continues to be equipped with a 2.0T + 8AT combination, with a maximum power of 192kW and a peak torque of 400N · m. Coupled with master-class chassis tuning and Bogner’s 6th generation intelligent four-wheel drive system, it brings comprehensive advancements in power handling and further enhances the driving experience of the 2025 model.

In the opinion of "Car Circle": Why is the reputation of Xingtu Lanyue so good? That is the excellent product quality.

A car owner had an accident while driving across the desert. The vehicle rolled over more than seven times in a row, and the vehicle was not damaged much, and the people in the car were also unscathed. Out of great trust in the safety of Xingtu Lunar Landing, the owner soon bought a new Lunar Landing car.

Excellent product strength has created the high quality of the Xingtu brand, and also made everyone have a soft spot for Xingtu Lanyue. With the launch of the 2025 Xingtu Lanyue, the highlights of safety, comfort and intelligence have been blessed to consolidate the competitiveness of its products. I believe this car will definitely sell well in the end point market.

　　After less than a year, Lantu Automobile once again ushered in a round of senior management changes.

　　On May 15, the power plant reporter received confirmation from the official that Yu Fei, the general manager of sales of Lantu Automobile, and Liu Zhanshu, the deputy general manager of sales, had both left around May Day. According to the power plant’s understanding, this is another management change within Lantu Automobile after the large-scale organizational structure adjustment of Dongfeng last July. In addition to the two senior executives of the marketing department, this personnel adjustment also involves a number of middle managers of the marketing department.

　　According to public information, Liu and Yu joined Lantu in June and July last year respectively. Before that, they had both worked in the automotive industry for many years. Yu Fei is a veteran of the Great Wall department and served as the general manager of marketing of the Ola brand under the Great Wall, while Liu Zhanshu is the old partner of Lantu CEO Lu Fang. He has served many well-known brands such as FAW-Volkswagen Audi, SAIC-GM Buick, and Extreme Krypton Automobile.

　　As for the reason for leaving, Liu Zhanshu told the power plant that his family is in Shanghai, and it is difficult to take care of his family in Wuhan for a long time. In his internal letter when he left in early April, he also said that "after drifting outside for more than two years, it is time to return." Regarding his experience during his tenure, he said in the letter that "Landmap is the shortest working time and the largest workload in my career, and of course the most rewarding experience."

　　According to Liu Zhanshu, there are indeed many problems within Landmap, and there is still a lot of basic work that needs to be improved, but there are opportunities in technology, products and other aspects. In this regard, a middle-level person who left the company told the power plant that the biggest problem of Landmap is that the group controls too strictly. "What choices are made internally are given by parents, and they are very strong opinions." He believes that Liu Zhanshu does not fit well with this working atmosphere.

　　As a high-end electric brand under Dongfeng, Lantu is similar to Zhiji under SAIC and Extreme Krypton under Geely. Lantu is alsoUnder the impact of the electric vehicle wave, the product is not only the pioneer of the latter’s electric vehicle transformation, but also carries the latter’s dream of high-end impact. Since its independent operation in June 2021, Lantu Automobile has released a total of three products, but the market sales have always been unsatisfactory.

　　The data shows that the first model of Lantu, Lantu FREE, was delivered in August 2021. The cumulative sales volume in 2021 was only 6791 units. The second model, Lantu Dreamer, was delivered in July 2022. The cumulative sales volume of the two vehicles in 2022 was only 19,400 units, only 62% of the annual sales target. This year, the sales target set by Lantu is 40,000 – 60,000 units. As of April, Lantu actually completed only 9021 units.

　　Among them, in March this year, Dongfeng Group and the Hubei government launched the "strongest car purchase season in history" subsidy activity, covering Dongfeng Citroen, Dongfeng Peugeot, Dongfeng Nissan, Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Fengshen and other brands. The maximum comprehensive subsidy is as high as 90,000 yuan, while the starting price of Lantu Dreamer is directly reduced by 40,000 yuan to 329,900 yuan. Even so, the sales volume of Lantu Automobile in the month is only 3027 vehicles.

　　In July last year, Dongfeng Group made its first personnel adjustment to Lantu, involving a total of six executives. Among them, Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automobile, no longer served as CTO, and was replaced by Wang Junjun, an old man in the Dongfeng department. In addition, the leadership team of Dongfeng Department, Qin Jie, Liu Mingjiao, Gong Xuesong, and Shao Mingfeng, also took up positions in Lantu. Yu and Liu, who left this time, also joined during this period.

　　However, as the paratroopers represented by Yu and Liu left one after another, the marketing authority of Lantu was also handed back to Shao Mingfeng, an executive of the Dongfeng Department. So far, the senior management team of Lantu, except for Lu Fang, is basically the leadership team of the Dongfeng Department. In this regard, the above-mentioned mid-level people who left told the power plant that now, Lu Fang’s internal real power is also limited, but if "President Lu leaves, it will really be a state-owned enterprise".

　　Judging from the signals revealed by Lu Fang, the operating pressure exerted by Dongfeng Group is not small. At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, Lu Zai said in an interview with the power plant and other media that each company’s birth environment is different, and how to use existing resource endowments to complete market competition is a problem that each company needs to think about. Although it is also learning from the experience of its peers internally, the difficulty of Landmap is to solve the problem within a certain framework.

　　A typical example is the funding problem. The above-mentioned mid-level people pointed out that the internal knows that there is a problem, but to solve the problem will cost money. According to public information, after two years of independent operation, Lantu completed a round of external financing in November last year, with a financing amount of 4.55 billion yuan. Among them, Dongfeng Motor invested 900 million yuan. After the investment, the shareholding ratio is still as high as 78.88%, and it is still the absolute controlling shareholder.

　　According to NIO founder Li Bin, the capital threshold for car building has been pulled to 40 billion. For Landmap, external financing of only 3.65 billion yuan will not last long, and it needs to be backed by Dongfeng Group’s continuous blood transfusion, which has many restrictions on the attributes of state-owned enterprises. The above-mentioned mid-level person pointed out that maintaining the status quo may be the best choice. "If you really want to make a big change, there may be certain risks to Landmap."

　　In addition to the loss of independent operating space, the above-mentioned mid-level people pointed out that another problem of Landmap is that Dongfeng Department is too eager to achieve success. In this regard, a number of users who are certified as Landmap employees broke the news on social media that not only do they frequently change management, but also frequently change the employee appraisal system. The appraisal system implemented is often opaque, and there was even a problem of temporarily changing the performance coefficient around November last year.

　　This behavior has been interpreted by many users as disguised layoffs. In March this year, Lantu Auto has launched a round of layoffs, involving multiple departments such as outbound calls and sales support. Lantu has responded to the power plant, and this wave of adjustments has been settled before the auto show. According to the revelations, at present, the normal elimination rate of Lantu Auto at the end of the quarter is around 5%, and with the new round of executive adjustments, Lantu may usher in a new round of personnel turmoil.

　　"October Siege" was a dream of the multi-talented Hong Kong filmmaker Chen Desen ten years ago. The reason why it is a dream is that no one has dared to pay for this luxury dream for ten years. The appearance of Chen Kexin finally made this dream a reality.

　　"October Siege" will be released simultaneously across Asia on Dec. 18, 2009. The release date was announced by the film’s executive producer, Chen Kexin, at the film’s opening ceremony on April 13. "I was stunned when I heard it," the director, Chen Desen, recalled. "After so many years of filming, Chen Kexin dared to set a release date before it was even turned on."

　　For a movie, this kind of domineering is indeed a bit incredible, after all, the schedule it preempts is the diamond file in the golden file. But "October Siege" should have such an imposing manner. In addition to the dreamy lineup of "Nine Emperors and One Queen", it also restores the 1905 "Hong Kong Central" with an unprecedented 1:1.

43 million, a city

　　43 million, about the production cost of a medium-sized film, but in "October Siege", this money is just enough for a location – Central, Hong Kong in 1905. 4,000 plaques, 3,000 props and costumes, 500 houses, 200 shops, more than 300 workers worked day and night for more than a year.

　　"Before, when I made a blockbuster costume film, I rented a studio to renovate it and started it. I could build a city for a movie. This is the first time," said Mai Guoqiang, the film’s art director. "This is not a shell project. There is Victoria Harbor, Queen’s Road, Stone Street, and underground secret passages that you can’t see. Even the bottle of soy sauce in the shop window and the rice in the rice bowl of the grocery store are real guys."

　　"October Siege" was a script that Chen Desen completed 10 years ago. It started filming twice and died twice. In the past ten years, countless people were optimistic about this story, but because there was no budget for the city, the filming plan was stranded. Until Chen Kexin appeared.

　　With this city, the mainstream commercial blockbuster takes it to another level. "To build a city, not only can the audience touch the details of history, but also let the actors feel that they are in Hong Kong, they are living in 1905 Hong Kong Central," Chen Kexin said.

6 bald heads, 5 disappearances

　　In order to meet the needs of the plot, six actors, including Wang Xueqi, Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, and Hu Jun, had to appear bald in the film, so the two directors set a "three-light policy" of shaving, polishing, and polishing for the "skinheads". For a star, shaving his head not only means sacrificing his image and giving up endorsements, but also means that he cannot take on other films for a long time.

　　However, the bald head was just the beginning of the "whole person". In Chen Kexin’s words, the movie "October Siege" was really "destroying people tirelessly". They raised Hu Jun’s nose and shaved his eyebrows, so that Hu Jun’s daughter didn’t dare to recognize her father when she saw him again; they scarred Nicholas Tse’s eyes, pasted wind ears, and let him pull a cart on the concrete floor naked in the July sun; they let Donnie Yen play a bad gambler, who was beaten into a bread face by a Thai boxing master in the film; they let Leung Ka Fai fall down dozens of times on the stone street, just to take a shot; in order to seek truth, let Wang Xueqi sprint 100 meters on the stone street; in order to have an effect, let Li Yuchun break a piece of glass with his hands repeatedly without any protection; let Zhou Yun dress up as a limp and run wildly on Queen’s Road, and let Fan Bingbing face the camera??

　　Every actor did it without complaint. Chen Kexin and Chen Desen are making dreams, and they help to realize them together.

24 hours in a row

　　The story of "October Siege" is not complicated. On October 15, 1905, Sun Yat-sen returned to Hong Kong for the first time after being expelled by the Qing government for ten years. In order to ensure the safety of Sun Yat-sen after his arrival in Hong Kong, Chen Shaobai, the president of China Daily, entrusted Li Yutang, the richest businessperson in Hong Kong, to assemble six bodyguards to resist the 500 killers dispatched by the Qing court.

　　The story focuses on 24 hours, which sounds like a Republic of China version of "Saving Private Ryan". It is the same as Tom Hanks’ rescue team. This group of bodyguards do not know who they are going to protect, and they have not used a calculator to calculate whether it is worth it to risk a person’s safety with six lives.

　　But in their bodies, there is a little difference – Nicholas Tse plays the rickshaw driver A Si, in order to protect the safety of the master and the young master; Donnie Yen plays the gambler Shen Chongyang, in order to let his daughter, who has not seen him since birth, know that he has such a father; Battle plays the street vendor Wang Fuming, in order to return to Shaolin openly; Li Yuchun plays the actress Hong, in order to find his father’s enemy; Liming plays the beggar Liu Yubai, in order to regain the dignity of life in front of the woman he likes; and Wang Bojie plays the young master Li Chongguang, in order to prove that he has grown up at the age of 17.

　　It was not so much that these bodyguards were loyal to the country and the revolution, but rather that they were loyal to themselves and their ideals. It was not so much that these bodyguards were brave and fearless, but that they were simple and easy to fight. Therefore, in their eyes, this defense battle seemed simple and passionate, and of course, it was necessary.

　　Chen Desen repeatedly stressed that he was not making a movie about Sun Yat-sen, because Sun Yat-sen’s great achievements have long been decided. What he wanted to shoot was the love and righteousness, love and hate of that era. He hoped to make the audience remember some unfamiliar names, some little people who you will never notice, never have anything to do with greatness, but have been constantly knowing themselves and breaking through themselves. "They are the true coordinates of an era."

Feng Timo ending theme song

The fresh hand-painted style, coupled with Feng Timo’s sweet and ethereal voice, seems to open the "alternative ice cool summer" for the audience; the four decoding gods made a stunning appearance, but the emotional relationship between the characters seemed more complex and confusing.

The movie "Decoding Game" tells the story of the growth and adventure of a funny otaku "geek" with its highly game-like movie style.

After Han Geng and Feng Xiaoyue staged "Touch Your Face and Kill", Feng Xiaoyue and Li Yuan, the lovers, also made sweet candy in the MV, and these two are bound to each other by the otaku geek played by Han Geng, which attracts infinite reverie.

1905 movie network news On August 20, the domestic role-playing game "Black Myth: Wukong" released a 6-minute real-world plot clip, which triggered heated discussions among netizens in terms of plot speculation and scene details. In recent years, the plot, clothing, and picture presentation of ancient costume mythology-themed movies have also attracted much attention from netizens, and the hot topics triggered by games and movies are highly overlapping. Why can this game video cause a heated debate? It is also a mythological adaptation. Are domestic games ahead of movies?

Regarding this video clip, Jin Yuxuan, a teacher at the Communication University of China, commented: The video is of high quality, with a cinematic texture, good rhythm control, and a strong sense of film. Secondly, the theme of this time is the theme of Pansidong in "Journey to the West". The place where the spider spirit enters is called Ruoxian Temple, and where does Ruoxian Temple come from? It is the 72nd chapter of "Journey to the West", "Seven Love Mystery Books in Pansidong, and the Eight Precautions of the Spring are Forgotten", so it has a very clear text source.

The video also uses the suspense skills of film creation to fully arouse the curiosity of the audience. The identity of the protagonist is deliberately hidden in the video, showing the audience a first perspective. The spider spirit is in front and leads the protagonist inside. Many netizens speculate that the old spider spirit is Chang’e, and the person who is led is Pigsy. These guesses are also based. There are judgments in the background sound of the video. The direction of these judgments makes it easy for the audience to direct the suspense of the protagonist of the whole story to Pigsy and Chang’e. When the old spider spirit appears, her entire character shape is very similar to the Chang’e shape of the 86 version of "Journey to the West", which also makes players and audiences curious about the direction behind the plot.

In this six-minute short film, the image of each character is so realistic that Mr. Xu Jingqing, who served as the chief composer of the 86 version of "Journey to the West", also gave a high evaluation after watching the video.

"It’s more terrifying than the monster in the TV series, and it’s more realistic."

@Communication University of China Teacher Jin Yuxuan:In fact, in the literary description of the original work, whether it is the protagonist team or the monster team, they present a hideous and terrifying appearance. So I think that in this "Black Myth: Wukong", it is really good to give us some clear presentation of some of the textures and images in the original work.

The cultural relics and ancient buildings involved in the short film have also become the object of research and popular science among netizens. Even though "Black Myth: Wukong" is an overhead world, the creators scanned the cultural relics and ancient buildings in reality in order to allow players to find a sense of commonality between the game and reality, and then put them in equal proportions into the game scene, which once again enhanced the authenticity of the experience. The production team of "Black Myth: Wukong" released a demo video a year ago, and some cultural relics appeared in the video, including a model of the twenty-eight constellations. The historical source of this model is in Shanxi, and even the local media in Shanxi used this video when promoting places of interest.

In recent years, many film creations have chosen the direction of mythological adaptations, including the "Journey to the West" series, the "New God List" series, etc. When these mythological elements continue to impact the audience’s mind, more or less aesthetic fatigue will occur. And this time, "Black Myth: Wukong" is also a work of mythological adaptations. Why is its situation so different?

@Communication University of China Teacher Jin Yuxuan:Our aesthetic fatigue is based on the fact that they are all telling similar stories, for example, they are focusing on a story about emotions. In fact, this is a very common way to deal with it. "Dark Myth: Wukong" I think captures something that has been less presented in previous adaptations and presentations, and that is the battle to defeat the Buddha and the Monkey King.

Sun Wukong used to be the unparalleled Great Sage of Monkey Heaven, but in fact, most of the time we see him, he is like a disobedient student in the class during the period of protecting Tang Sanzang to go to the West to learn scriptures, unable to hold up the class teacher’s mantra every day. In "Black Myth: Wukong", the creative team directly did one thing to make him return to the unparalleled world and regain the title of fighting and defeating Buddha. Although this spirit of resistance about Sun Wukong is reflected in many film and television works, the advantages of game videos and animations are greater than that of live-action movies. The sense of hypothesis it brings to us is completely different from the sense of hypothesis we watch live-action movies. "Black Myth: Wukong" and "The emotional impact it brings to us will be higher than that of live-action movies."

In addition, "Black Myth: Wukong" uses the Unreal Engine to improve the realism of the picture, and there are also many special effects in the movie that also use the Unreal Engine. In the post-visual effects processing, the Unreal Engine is used, which can restore the realism to the audience with the greatest appearance.

"I’ll write you an exciting one."

I hope this six-minute short film can inspire our filmmakers to learn from this "Black Myth: Wukong" when creating, how to attract the audience, how to impress the audience, and how to improve the realism of the picture. I believe that there will be more films in the future that can move the audience and give the audience a different visual experience.
