Wandering between Ye Wen and Chen Zhen

There is a bridge in the movie. When the young man Ye Man went to school in Hong Kong, he became angry for a foreigner’s sick man in East Asia. He used Wing Chun to teach the foreign student who discriminated against China. Since then, Ye Man’s reputation in Hong Kong has gradually spread. Ye Wen's neat white tunic suit, which was in discussions with foreigners, reminds me of Yen Zidan's version of Chen Zhen, dressed in white and awe-inspiring. Similar plots, similar words, and the difference is that Ye Wen's eyes are less hostile, and more humble and indisputable. I've heard about the movie of Ip Man's prequel a long time ago, but I have never dared to watch it for fear of ruining the classic image of Yen Zidan's version of Ip Man. Looking at the stills of the starring Du Yuhang, I felt that he looked a lot like Donnie Yen, and wondered that this was probably the reason for asking this person to act as Ye Wen. I saw this movie with my dedication to Yen Zidan's version of Ye Wen. After watching it, I found that it may not be the reason for the resemblance. The Ye Wen created by Du Yuhang is also very unique. At least in the film, I did not think of him as Donnie Yen. Du Yuhang himself is also a practicer and a champion of martial arts. He has participated in the performance of Ip Man and he has a certain degree of research on Wing Chun. I feel that Du has a good grasp of Ye Wen’s meekness. The young Ye Wen’s character is sandwiched between bloody Fanggang and meekness. It is difficult to grasp by itself. Although Du’s facial expressions have yet to be studied, the overall feeling is right. , It is quite unexpected. Huang Yi's Zhang Yongcheng personally thinks it is remarkable. I first met Huang Yi as the Little Swallow in Xinhuanzhu. Maybe that kind of role is too easy to shape the actors and is not easy to surpass the original version, so the impression of Huang Yi has always been not good. But this time Zhang Yongcheng personally thinks it is quite successful. The girl's adolescent passion and lively sentiment are in place. But it just doesn't show that everyone is pretty. After all, she is the mayor's daughter. Some plots can be more dignified. The innocence and dignity are interspersed with the character's behavior, and the character will be more full and three-dimensional. The whole movie feels pretty good. At least the rhythm, style and movement of the film are just a few blocks away from the story of Zhang Tianzhi from Ip Man, but there is basically nothing extraordinary about it. It cannot be said that the plot of the movie can be completely connected with Ye Wen into a trilogy like the poster said. In his early years, Ip Man was modest and low-key, and he did not advocate opening a martial arts center. However, in the movie, the ideal of a young man in the movie was to open a martial arts center to carry forward Wing Chun. The plot of the movie is a big problem, mainly expounding several things in Ye Wen's life: Wing Chun learned from Chen Huashun and learned the improved version of Wing Chun from his uncle Liang Bi (I have to mention the old man Ye Zhun from the experimental Liang Bi, the old man is very energetic and still flexible when he is old), and fell in love with his wife Zhang Yongcheng. It seems that the content is very full, but in fact every solid line is not digging deep. Instead, a fictitious brother Ye Tianci and Ye Man’s love and hatred became the main line. In the end, Ye Tianci was still A Japanese spy! It feels like the director wants to force the national justice and the happy life of Ye Man's youth to create a fire point that I want to hit ten, but in fact the plot is a mess and it's unclear. In the opening movie, Ye Wen clenched his fists at the majestic Japanese invaders, but later the plot ended without development. I don't know if the screenwriter forgot or just wanted to make a gimmick. In short, there was no response at all. As far as I am concerned, I actually want to see explanations about Ye Man’s personality and some things or details that happened in middle age. For example, why did a traditional person like Ye Man recognize Liang Bi’s high-footed Wing Chun at the time? Why did the middle-aged Ye Wen only like to wear long gowns and short hits; how did Ye Wen’s martial arts philosophy of “neutralization, no contention” come from; Liang Bi had no contact with his family because of the improvement of Wing Chun, and in his later years Regret has aroused young Ye Wen's thinking... It's a pity that the director didn't dig deep into these points, and some of them were not involved at all. As a result, the image of the young Ye Wen sometimes dissociated from Ye Wen a little bit. The action scenes in the movie are great. As the saying goes, boxing is afraid of being young. Du Yuhang’s Wing Chun boxing is really clean and fast, even faster than Donnie Yen. In addition, Du Yuhang is tall, and the high-legged Wing Chun is very enjoyable. sex. The most memorable action scene was the final Wing Chun of Du and Fan Shaohuang vs. Wing Chun + Karate + Judo. The good-looking movements made people think of the duel between Ye Wen San Ye Wen and Zhang Tianzhi about the authentic Wing Chun. Ye Wen, who has been polished by life, is humble and dignified, but what is it like as a mature man. Obviously, the director can't handle this. The young Ye Wen is also testing between the humble and easygoing and bloody impulse, between the humble and bloody Chen Zhen. So we saw that Ye Wen, who was originally the young master of the wealthy Ye family in Foshan, became a poor boy who was sent to the martial arts school by his father from a young age to learn martial arts; the marriage of Ye Wen and Zhang Yongcheng turned into a love between a rich girl and a poor boy. Setting; the headquarters of the Foshan Martial Arts Hall became the Jingwuhui (even the standard on the flag is the same as that in the movie Jingwu Fengyun); the clothing of the youth Ye Wen is often pure white tunic. Ye Wen and Chen Zhen (although they are fictitious) belong to the same era, and the similar plots and styles have made people feel similar. In addition, Ye Wen often reveals a humble expression, which just makes people feel a little nondescript. Maybe in the end the director himself was lost between the two heroes...
