On February 19, 2016, the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming" was selected to land on the famous white-collar movie fan club "Fujii Tree Viewing Group" in Shanghai on the premiere day. On the same day, a total of 100 viewers obtained movie tickets through Weibo, WeChat and other Internet social platforms, and participated in this event in Shanghai Huashida Cinema. After the screening, the special guest of the show, Professor Ishikawa from Shanghai Theater Academy, and host Ms. Kiyoshi Fujii had a lively interaction, talked about their experience after watching, and shared the surprises and surprises brought by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming". .
15 years ago, Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" set off a wave of martial arts in the world movie circle. The world of Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong, seeing the world, seeing all living beings, and seeing people's hearts, is full of philosophical implications of oriental aesthetics. Unforgettable. Today, also adapted from Wang Dulu's novel, "The Sword of Qingming" only Yu Xiulian is still alive, and the director has changed from Li An to Yuan Heping, so the film has also changed from a literati lyric to a martial arts union.
The kung fu of the hard bridge and the hard horse, the neat and smooth narrative, the oriental expression under the western aesthetics, this is the world of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' created by Yuan Heping. Because the "predecessor" is so good, this later work always gives people The feeling of lack of confidence. In addition, there are only two big stars in Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh, and the others are brand new people who have never heard of their names. Such a lineup makes people have low expectations for this film.
But surprisingly, after watching the movie, the audience said that it was much better than expected! The two newcomers are truly 360-degree without dead ends. Not only are they beautiful, but they can also perform well. They are definitely new discoveries in the film industry. The story of Yu Xiulian and Meng Sizhao also continued the emotional context of the previous work. It's just that there is less Chow Yun-fat's internal cultivation, and more Donnie Yen's external choices.
Generally speaking, the characteristics of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming" are: the martial arts are good-looking, the literary drama is acceptable, and the new talents are the biggest bright spot!

The host talks with the guests
▲The commentary guest Professor
Ishikawa Ishikawa commented: The
newcomer is eye-catching
. This film is based on Wang Dulu's "Iron Rider Silver Bottle", which is very different from Ang Lee's one. Each director has his own understanding of martial arts and has a different system, so as a martial arts film, "The Sword of Qingming" is very visually appealing. The story is not bad, at least the fighting scenes are very exciting. The biggest highlight is the two newcomers in the film, Xue Ping and Wei Fang. Their performances are eye-catching.
We have dug up two newcomers who can play and have good looks in the film industry, but the film party did not promote this big event, which is deeply regrettable. So, I was very surprised after watching the movie, they can take Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen's class completely.
The two newcomers in this film are the biggest highlights.
From personal cultivation to Jianghu chivalry, this
film has a lot of scenes, focusing on the maintenance of Jianghu chivalry. Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is more about the conflict between personal desires and xinxing, so Li Mubai told Yu Jiaolong to pursue inner peace. This is Ang Lee's transmission of the essence of oriental culture to the West. Kung Fu Panda is the same concept.
"The Sword of Qingming" does not follow the path of Ang Lee's personal cultivation, but emphasizes the maintenance and defense of justice, so the four knights in the film are all dedicated to justice, returning to the traditional Shaw Brothers martial arts era The heroic routines created by the rivers and lakes.
From "Nie Yinniang" and "Master" to "Qingming Baojian",
"Nie Yinniang" and "Master" are all author's films, which reflect personal understanding of the chivalry of the rivers and lakes. On the whole, it shows a trend of more and more diversification of martial arts films. Hou Hsiao-hsien grafted the theme of personal confrontation with the system into martial arts films, giving martial arts films an additional branch of expression. "Master" is a defense of the dignity of the fallen Republic of China, and the fighting scenes are very realistic.
"The Sword of Qingming" relies on modern technology to use special effects to create scenes, which is the development and promotion of traditional martial arts films. If the martial arts films in the past were a big tree trunk, now different branches have spread out, which shows that the film is developing slowly.
Donnie Yen's appearance in the film is very similar to "Jin Yiwei"
Hollywood-style Oriental Kung Fu
film. In this film, Donnie Yen's style is a bit like "Jin Yiwei", this role is completely different from Li Mubai, who was portrayed by Chow Yun-fat. Chow Yun-fat is not an action actor, so he created a literate image, but Donnie Yen himself is a kung fu star, so the fight scene is extraordinarily exciting, especially the fight on the ice is quite brilliant. Ang Lee's fight in the bamboo forest is a tribute to Hu Jinquan's "Chivalrous Girl", and the ice scene in this film seems to be a tribute to Zhang Che.
At the same time, this film embodies the characteristics of Yuan Heping. Martial arts are more exciting than literary dramas. The expression of characters and plots is not as personal and emotional as that of Ang Lee and Hou Hsiao-hsien. It is a relatively general concept of chivalry in all corners of the world. However, the martial arts design and film rhythm of this film are very smooth and have Hollywood skills, so the whole gives a sense of coherence.
▲Ms. Fujii Ki, the host,
is a kung fu genre film with western aesthetics
I noticed that the production team of this film is basically foreigners, so with foreigners' casting vision, many actors have a mixed-race feeling, their faces are very three-dimensional, and their shapes are of international style. In particular, this female rookie has a lot of roles, this face is very recognizable, and she plays well, well packaged, and has a bright future.
This film is not limited to only portraying Yu Xiulian and Meng Sizhao, and there are a lot of scenes for the knights who follow Meng Sizhao at the same time. In general, both in the plot and in the dialogue, there is a very Western way of expression, and it is a kung fu genre film with Western aesthetics.
Don't use "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as the
title , very hard bridge hard horse, call the audience to see, the language is also very simple and refined, no burden. The story continues part of Ang Lee's film. The two generations' understanding of chivalry and the intergenerational relationship between the characters are still in the same line. For example, the blind "witch" looks like a blue-eyed fox with a bad mind; and the snow bottle The settings are also very similar to Yu Jiao Long and so on. The plot has a clever connection with the first part, but it is independent.
So, in fact, if this film is only called "The Sword of Qingming", it should not be branded as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", because the story is very independent. Now once it's called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it's really unfair to have to compare it with Ang Lee's classic. As far as the film itself is concerned, it is really not that bad. On the contrary, it is quite good. It is a martial arts type film that can be worth the ticket price.
