Chen Kexin said that modern thinking should be used to explain what is going on in martial arts, which made the original script set in the Song and Ming time background earlier to the early Republic of China. The original reason for this was that it would be less abrupt when using "scientific" and "microscopic" methods to explain the principles of martial arts. But the fact is that when the long braided blue shirt and the short glasses jacket are placed together, there is still an indescribable sense of incongruity. Coupled with the miraculous microscopic answers, there is still an embarrassment that is difficult to justify for the viewer. It's a mess of presentation, and the film spends so much of its time wrestling with this solution that other plot threads become sloppy. For example, Takeshi Kaneshiro's motives for chasing Donnie Yen are difficult to explain by character, and even Takeshi Kaneshiro's behavior can no longer be summed up as strange, and the motives that are unclear are not explained clearly due to the weakness of the plot. When Takeshi Kaneshiro and Donnie Yen played against each other again and again, I, a straight man, couldn't help but think in a rotten place, what was the reason for Takeshi Kaneshiro to keep staring at Donnie Yen again and again. Not only did he frequently inquire about his family affairs, greeted his wife, but even stayed at Zhen's house by himself, and scrutinized Zidan in front of the bed in the middle of the night. When seeing Tang Wei and Donnie Yen as you and me, he couldn't hold back his anger and slashed Zidan with a sickle. Jin Chengwu refused to give up, and asked his ex-wife Li Xiaoran to borrow 20 taels of silver with a shy face, and vowed to bring back Zidan when she got it. As far as the characters are concerned, the whole film is the basic love story of these two people, and the other characters are the test of creating obstacles on the way for the two to stay together. I can't help but ask, is this Chen Kexin's work that came out of the closet?
Speaking of the plot, everyone can understand the general plot weaknesses of kung fu films, but it can't be completely ignored. What kind of deep hatred does Donnie Yen have with the Seventy-two Disha, so that the general helper will come forward to chase and kill her. If it is said that he is Wang Yu's adopted son, then the relationship between them is also very strange. Why is this, especially the role of Hui Yinghong, is it to pave the way for the early stage? It can't see the actual effect at all. After a few kung fu scenes, the characters are gone. Finally, let's say you are the Tang Dynasty at that time. Long, the audience was left speechless. Wang Yu's hatred for Donnie Yen became even more inexplicable. He fought against a child who was moody and violent, like a mentally ill patient, without the demeanor of a hero at all. This can't be completely blamed on the director, or whoever said that a male director has no martial arts dream, Chen Kexin just wanted to shoot his tribute to Shaw Brothers martial arts films to express his feelings of suffocation.
But I didn't expect the idea of trying to become a big fault. Chen Kexin didn't understand martial arts, and Donnie Yen completed the action guidance. Unfortunately, the two were also broken when they cooperated. It is difficult for the plot to smoothly promote the martial arts scene, and it is difficult for the martial arts to feed back the shortcomings of the story. In fact, no one can explain the martial arts clearly. Everyone has their own opinions about what it is. Chen Kexin, who is counting on the details to analyze the principles of martial arts, ignores the coherence and appreciation of the story while insisting on detailed explanation. This also proves that martial arts is not something that everyone can say.
