Cheers to Donnie Yen

The most lively time for Chinese movies is the Lunar New Year stall at the end of this year, where people from all walks of life are dazzled.
This year is the New Year's darling Feng Xiaogang (If You Are the One), as well as a group of Hong Kong's once brilliant Huang Baiming, Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen (Ip Man), and Chen Kaige (Mei Lanfang), Wu Yusen (Chibi) and Mai Zhao who are not very DJs Hui (big search)... In this crackling series of movies, there are only two movies that have been carefully watched in the cinema. To put it simply, they are "If You Are the One" and "Ip Man", which are also very popular at the box office.
"If You Are the One" did well at the box office, but it doesn't seem to have high reviews. It doesn't feel like the movie is really that bad, but I'm afraid it's because the golden signs of Director Feng and Ge You are shaking so much that everyone can't understand whether Director Feng is making a movie or a sketch. Simply watching "If You Are the One", as a romance film, can be considered lighthearted, humorous and romantic; just from a comedy film, it can be considered a little thought to make the audience laugh. So, it's really hard to say that it really doesn't work.
"Ye Wen", the name is good. The selection of the producers' actors is the first to win. Donnie Yen, who is famous, suddenly found the feeling of a movie actor, and he is restrained, stylish and charming; Fan Shaohuang, who blinked from a white-faced virtual bamboo to a grasshopper hero (almost, the screenwriter should not give him a grass for nothing) Grasshopper hat strap) - so dumbfounded. It's just that the bear is really sorry, but it doesn't hurt. After all, it belongs to the role of a vase, and it is difficult to produce results.
The arrangement of the story is not too depressing. Usually, in such films, the protagonist will inevitably suffer a great life tragedy and end the story with revenge. Here, Ye Wen did not, but integrated the story into the somewhat tragic historical background, and Ye Wen naturally became a small but flesh-and-blood hero.
If you want to look at the relaxed, just look at Ye Wen; if you want to look at the more enthusiastic, look at Ip Man; in fact, they are all good.
