Under the Inhuman: The Road to Comic from Comic to Big Screen
Director Wu Ershan recently accepted an exclusive interview with the "Pindao Movie" column of 1905 Film Network, specifically talking about his new film "Under the Stranger". Wu Ershan mentioned that as a manga movie, fans of the original work have very high understanding and expectations of the content, but the target audience of the movie also includes ordinary viewers who are not very familiar with the original work. This required him to make some adjustments to the film's narrative to ensure that it could appeal to a wider audience. Therefore, he decided to tell the story from scratch and planned to divide it into a three-part series in order to better present the audience with the worldview of the original.
These words caused a lot of discussion among netizens, and they spoke out on social platforms. Some expressed understanding of Urshan's approach, believing that it would allow new audiences to better engage with the story. Some netizens ridiculed: "Just tell the story well, don't become 'under the alien: a long wait'." In this context, Wu Ershan's decision-making also conforms to the trend of the times and can arouse the attention of more young audiences.
A bold adaptation of the ending

Talking about the ending of the movie, the "all-sex four-insolence" mentioned by Wu Ershan aroused the interest of many viewers. In the original book, "Four" is a very cool setting, but it seems a bit wasteful to appear only once in the movie. Urshan decided to use this setting for the end of the first part of the film, in order to lay the groundwork for the subsequent development of the plot. In this way, the audience will not only have a deeper impression of the characters when they watch the first part, but will also be full of anticipation for the subsequent episodes.
Netizens reacted enthusiastically to this, "Is Wu Ershan laying an ambush?" It seems that the follow-up plot will be more exciting. Some people also joked: "It's like the final season of a TV series, leave a suspense for everyone to continue chasing." It is not difficult to see that Wu Ershan's move not only holds the core spirit of the original work, but also stimulates the imagination of the audience and further stimulates everyone's discussion of the follow-up story.

With the release of the first part of the film, Urshan began to think about casting for the second part of "Under the Inhuman". He appealed to the audience on social media, hoping that everyone would be able to recommend the right actors for the upcoming Inhuman conference. This casting process is not only about the selection of characters, but also about the audience's sense of participation, which enhances everyone's anticipation for the upcoming second part.
In the comment area, netizens began to recommend their actors. Someone nominated their idol, someone proposed unknown actors, and a "casting contest" was triggered. Someone joked: "I think I can let my neighbor play it, as long as he wants!" This relaxed atmosphere also makes people look forward to the arrival of new characters even more.

The audience generally feels that although there are some exaggerated expressions in the film, it just enhances the viewing and entertainment of the film.
Some netizens left a message: "The original party can choose not to watch it, and it is also interesting for passers-by to watch it, which really liberates the audience's right to choose!"

They believe that they should only express their opinions after watching the movie, and not follow the crowd. In such discussions, everyone can't help but start thinking about whether the original book is more important, or the entertainment of the movie is more worthy of attention.
Some netizens expressed their opinions: "The original work can really choose not to watch it, but the audience who watched the original work will want more faithfulness." This different voice also made the comment section a lively place for discussion, and everyone expressed their understanding of the manga movie.
