Tsui Hark is good at creating martial arts movies. This time, he just picked a famous official figure in history, Di Renjie, and John Woo is good at creating modern violence with bullets and bullets. The time is only one day away, and it is really a bit of a posture of old urchins calling each other to learn from each other.

The elements of love, action, beauty and breakthroughs in today's movies are indispensable, which are fully reflected in "Di Renjie" and "Jianyu". "Jian Yu" focuses on touching love, and "Di Renjie" will give Di Renjie's emotions a side ball; "Jian Yu" has beautiful women Michelle Yeoh, big S, Lin Xilei and handsome guys Zheng Yucheng and Shawn Yue seductive, as well as big S with a naked back and actor Wang Xueqi The kiss scene made a breakthrough. "Di Renjie" also has beautiful women Li Bingbing, Carina Lau handsome Andy Lau, Deng Chao seductive, plus Li Bingbing's back naked, actor Leung Ka Fai hooked hands to make breakthroughs, Tsui Hark and John Woo two gold medal directors are well versed in the production and selling points of movies, and so The similar elements make it difficult to know whether to praise the heroes for their similar views or to lament China's film market.

In "Di Renjie", seeing a slender and handsome Andy Lau's version of Di Renjie in martial arts and Carina Lau's version of Wu Zetian dressed in a Japanese geisha can't help but think of another detective movie "Sherlock Holmes" this year. Robert Downey Jr. is a tough guy. Shaping the gentleman Sherlock Holmes into a kung fu superstar who can fight injuries and a little neurotic, while Ju De Law turned the fat and naive Watson into a slender, handsome and a little violent British first handsome guy, these two films are not only coincidental In the same detective story framework, there are iconic buildings in the film to match the plot. In "Sherlock Holmes", it is the London Bridge, in "Di Renjie" is the Buddha, and more coincidentally, the detective stories are only supporting roles, and the protagonist is actually the protagonist. They are all dazzling star actors, dazzling martial arts special effects, and a shocking conspiracy that will be successfully intercepted in the end.

"Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire" has become a gimmick whether it is Di Renjie or the empire. It is not the same when it is replaced by "Bao Qingtian: The Great Song Dynasty". This "Di Renjie" movie has nothing to do with Di Renjie.
