      Red Cliff II--John Woo's Three Kingdoms Movie

      Back then, the generation of people who watched videos didn't know much about movies, and they didn't know how to pursue movies according to the director. They may not know who Yang Dechang is and who Hou Hsiao-hsien is, but many people know John Woo. At that time, John Woo was a representative figure of Hong Kong gangster films. Many Hollywood directors, such as Quentin Tarantino and Anthony Fuqua, liked...

      My imagination about "Under the Red Cliff"

      Tribute to "Under the Red Cliff" and all this kind of fantasy space.

       

      Among so many men, only classmate Yu has sex, and he is always entangled with classmate Liang. The matter of borrowing arrows and killing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to gamble on people's heads is simply two handsome guys fighting each other. At the end of the day, their faces were so close, your words, my words, every sentence implied, eyes spit peach blossoms. I'm crazy.

      Japanese American Film, Hong Kong Style

      Although "Fenglin Volcano Yinlei" originated from "Sun Tzu's Art of War", if Takeda Shingen didn't know about it, there would be more than half of the people who knew it. Since the 19th century, Japan's cultural feedback to China has been a very large-scale existence, which is particularly evident in this film. This should have something to do with the background of director John Woo and the entire creative team (including actors).
      But it's fundamentally a Hollywood blockbuster, with...

      From my years of farming experience, you are out of date.

      In fact, it is not easy for Wu Yusen to cooperate with Chibi (Part 1). Such a complicated and complicated Chinese history is condensed into two films, so that a foreigner who may not even know Chinese characters can watch it without being too dizzy, and it also tells a story that is different from the previous Three Kingdoms. It is not only necessary for the Chinese audience to appreciate the love and righteousness in it, but also for foreign audiences to have a glimpse of the halberd and the...

      The fire war caused by a portrait - after watching Chibi 2


      I heard that Chibi 2 has appeared on the Internet. I have nothing to do, so I came to see it. I have never bought a ticket to watch such a "controversial" movie. , I'm only willing to pay for movies like "Roman Holiday", "Hibiscus Out of Water", and "Titanic" that are really good value for money, and it's okay to pay a few more times to watch them. After watching the last episode, I knew that this film was garbage, and...

    Screenplay

    Adapting the story of the Battle of Chibi into a screenplay can be a challenging task. The difficulties are mainly manifested in three aspects.

However, in order to enhance the drama of the story,...

    In fact, the Battle of Chibi took place in Wulin on the north bank of the Yangtze River, where Cao Cao's land and sea bases were located, not in Chibi, on the other side of the river, where Sun and Liu's allied forces were stationed. As for the specific location of the Battle of Chibi, the folk and academic circles have different opinions, and they can't agree.
