Jackie Chan is indeed getting old, and now he is definitely Jackie Chan. Looking at the loose fat on his neck, you can't help but sigh that years have turned that young man with a big nose into an old man with a big butt. To be honest, I'm not interested in this type of movie at all, but it's because I can't go to dinner or go out for a walk after watching "The Battle of Shama Town", so I have to watch another "Kung Fu Dream".
The film tells the story of a black child encountering a Chinese folk martial arts master. The two went through a series of ups and downs. Finally, the child won the championship and the master got out of his inner demon. This type of movie is very retro, to put it bluntly, it is very old-fashioned, and it is completely the model of the 1970s. Children are bullied, and then go to apprentices to learn arts. In the process of learning martial arts, they not only learn martial arts, but also learn to be a human being. They understand that violence cannot solve problems. The best way is to have a kind heart and convince people with virtue! In recent years, Jackie Chan has shown his old-fashioned attitude. Last year's "Looking for Jackie Chan" was completely sold to China Film Group for a face, and he made such a very casual adult fairy tale that looks like a children's movie, which is somewhat similar to this year's "Kung Fu Dream". Box, the same is a child who likes martial arts was bullied by others and planned to find Jackie Chan to teach him kung fu, but the story of "Looking for Jackie Chan" is more dramatic and taken for granted, regardless of the IQ of today's audience. It is not so casual. Flickering, although the box office is not very good, but Jackie Chan condescended to film such a children's film with China Film, and the relationship with China Film is getting better and better. This year, Jackie Chan wants to open his Jackie Chan in Beijing, Shenyang and other places. Yaolai International Cinemas is known as the largest cinema in China. Each cinema has 17 halls and more than 3,500 seats. The key is to shout the awesome slogan "10 yuan to watch a blockbuster". If there is no support from China Film Who dares? Of course, this is also the result of Jackie Chan's influence and connections in the film and television circle over the years. As soon as Jackie Chan's theater opens, it will definitely blow up a whirlwind in the mainland's movie theater chain. It's a bit too far, let's turn back and continue to talk about Jackie Chan and his movies. Jackie Chan is considered to be a relatively successful and early Asian actor in Hollywood, but Jackie Chan has always used Chinese Kung Fu as a sign in Hollywood. Although Jackie Chan has reached the top salary, Jackie Chan is not a movie that has entered the mainstream of Hollywood. People, although the Chinese-language media has repeatedly advocated, but Jackie Chan is still very aware of his identity and situation. After experiencing the embarrassing situation in the "Rush Hour" movie, it is an irony that Jackie Chan, who has a lot of hands-on action as the main action, does not have a high salary for Stark, who is a black man. As Jackie Chan has grown older and his skills are no longer so neat, he has also shifted his focus from abroad to Hong Kong and even the mainland, and he is no longer just a martial arts star. This is an inflection point for him, a turning point in his career, his acting skills and even his image. The former action superstars have also begun to take the route of warm acting, which is an inevitable transition and a successful transformation. Today's Jackie Chan is a love ambassador, a charitable artist, the president of the Actors Guild, and a successful businessman... So many titles are hung on a person who is about to listen well. He stands on the stage and waves at you. Found out that he was indeed old. Last year's "Agent Next Door" Jackie Chan had already gotten into trouble with several foreign children, and he has begun to play the role of a dad. This year, he will continue to act in movies with foreign children, but this time he changed from three to one. The white kid was replaced by the black kid. In a few years, Jackie Chan may have to play a role similar to Master Yoda, all of which must be grandpa-level.
The title of this film as a kung fu film is actually a bit far-fetched. Chinese kung fu is not so fancy and good-looking. A few children can dodge and move in the air and beat people out. It is really exaggerated. What is Chinese Kung Fu? As long as you have time to watch CCTV5's "Wulin Conference", you will know what Chinese Kung Fu is: whether it is Bagua Zhang or Taijiquan of various schools, the scene is always "Kick with your feet in the distance, and you are good at close." Push, hug your legs when you are close to your body.” Based on the principle of fairness and openness, the fight was in full swing. I have seen a guy with a big waist and a round waist use the leg hug, and he lowered his head, ignoring other people’s fists and feet, and grabbed the opponent’s ankle. , let's fight, let's go! With 13 hugs in a row, he took his opponent out of the arena. This is our Chinese Kung Fu, as long as you are big, strong, resistant to fighting, and can hold your legs, you will be able to dominate the Chinese martial arts conference! It's completely different from the "fist and palms, one move and one style" written in what book. When the two of them are fighting, they are more like two wives fighting each other, without any rules and no routines. "You, you, why don't you follow the routine?" That's Chinese Kung Fu. And Chinese kung fu movies are on a dead end. Gone are the days when martial artists such as Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Heping used coercion to fly around in movies, such as "New Dragon Inn" and "Once Upon a Time". Action films such as "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" can no longer satisfy the increasing tastes and needs of the audience. Last year, Yuan Heping's "Su Qi'er" had a bad box office, which is a good proof. Maybe the action in it has merit. However, the action of the whole movie cannot be well blended with the plot, and the audience of such a movie will not buy it; and the hard bridge and hard horse represented by Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiahui, the real but not flashy bunt action martial artist is also the way forward. Dim, the audience likes Liu Jialiang because of his good kung fu, every move and every style is worth seeing, but this is the taste of people in the 1970s and 1980s, and now no one likes to see the old-school Shaw Brothers martial arts style. , Liu Jialiang's last movie as a martial artist was "Seven Swords". The action design is still good, but because he has been old for many years, he has no new works. As for "The Grand Master Ye Wen" released at the end of this year, everyone can I am fortunate to see the style of the old martial artist again; Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Donnie Yen are some of the most accomplished people in the new martial arts. Needless to say, Jackie Chan's movies are all his own motion design. "Platinum Dragon" and "Police Story" are also wonderful actions. And Sammo Hung is a director, martial artist and starring in one. Most of the recent works are in cooperation with Donnie Yen. The martial arts design that integrates Chinese martial arts, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling in Question 2 is also eye-catching. Brother Sammo Hung is the most complicated person in martial arts design and the one who is most willing to accept new things. Most of the Donnie Yen, he is an action star. In fact, he is also a very good martial arts designer. This is the same as Jackie Chan. In the movies he starred in, he did most of the action design himself. In "October Siege" The chasing scene in the corridor was designed by Donnie Yen for himself, and there are various fashion elements such as parkour and wrestling in it. But all these martial arts designs, no matter how wonderful they are, are just yesterday's yellow flowers. Nowadays, the popularization of computer CG technology has enabled any person to become a martial arts master, and even a non-existent person can become a martial arts superstar. That's the beauty of computers. Film and television makers would rather spend some money to let the computer design rather than do time-consuming and labor-intensive martial arts design. The martial arts movie has come to a dead end. The success of "The Matrix" and "Kill Bill" has taught us that it is impossible. In the emergence of another undefeated East, there will only be more savior Neo, Hollywood let us know a truth: you have magic and he has technology!
1. The little black boy in the movie is called Jaden Smith, yes he is the son of the famous Will Smith. This is not his first electric shock. He had already performed with his father in "Happiness Knocks on the Door". I still like the little Jaden who has an explosive head in that movie. He also has a younger sister named Willow Smith, who also inherited the fine acting tradition of the Smith family and appeared in "I Am Legend". They also have an older brother named Terry, but he was born by Will Smith's ex-wife and hasn't acted in any movies yet.
2. For the male lead, there must be a female lead who is in love Golden Theorem. The little black boy in this film was not spared, and he had to arrange for a girl from an international school who could speak English to talk to him about love and practice martial arts. How dangerous is this for the mental health of mainland teenagers, puppy love must be killed !
3. Martial arts is not that simple. Not all Chinese are martial arts masters. This is a misunderstanding of Americans. The undressing-hanging-clothing-dressing practice method in the movie is a bit innovative and fits the characteristics of children, but it is too funny and childish for audiences who are familiar with martial arts. Undressing is so good that you can practice martial arts. Those girls who work in special industries are all masters of Tai Chi, and they can only go to bed quickly if they take off their clothes!
4. There are many descriptions of traditional Chinese things in the film: shadow puppets, teahouses, cheongsams, people doing morning exercises... This is also China in the eyes of Americans, a little mysterious, a little old and a little
traditional Think of Guan Yu. Here, he doesn't have to squinting his eyes to pretend to be a phoenix, and he doesn't have to wear a green hat with a thick neck and red face. The new version of Guan Yu played by Yu Rongguang learns to put on a pose, and it feels like a Peking Opera actor putting on airs there. Although he later went to the Hong Kong film and television industry and began to play some underworld bosses or cold-blooded killers, the boss played in "A Letter to Dad" was still very impressive, but his works in the mainland still played some upright and strong people. The image of a tough guy, like "Wolf Poison Flower" and "Detective Cheng Xu". In this movie, he is just a supporting role. In recent years, he has mostly appeared as a supporting role in the movie, and the focus has long been on his own film and television company to make TV series.
6. This movie is the opening of Jackie Chan's new studio. Not only are the stars present in the film and television industry, but Will Smith also visited Jackie Chan Cinemas in Beijing. This is not necessarily a good sign for Chinese movies!
