Foreword:
My expectations for "Ip Man 4" are quite low. Because the poster of Ye Man 4 has revealed the essence of the whole story until the trailer, including every play, and even the final skill of each play .
However, the overall impression is okay. Perhaps this year's Chinese action movie market is too bleak, so I have no hope at all. If Ip Man 4 were to withdraw from the file, I originally thought this year's action movie would be worthy of "Stalker". one look.
As always, we divided the play and literary play into two parts.
Playing play: Lao Yuan played well, with a small amount
"Ip Man 4" is probably the most irregular part of Zhen Shi Yip Man's universe (including Ip Man 1, 2, 3, and Zhang Tianzhi).
There is no weapon warfare.
There is no group show. (Whether Master Ye can play a few punks at random can be called a group play is debatable)
So thinking about it, it is indeed less thrilling than before.
In the single game, Master Wan, who played by Bruce Lee and Wu Yue, supported the appearance, and each showed off.
As for the single game, I think that it is really worthy of being called Master Ye VS Master Wan. After all, the two of them are martial arts stars, and they are also Wing Chun VS Tai Chi, and they are much better than those in "Gong Shou Dao".
However, there are two BUGs in this design.
One is that Master Ye has a cartwheel on the table, which is very inconsistent with the human setting .
The second is that Master Ye was thrown out by Wia, which was too exaggerated, and he was about to move horizontally. Of course, this is Lao Yuan's traditional art.
If this is a bit dazzling, the others can only be said to be average.
Traditional martial arts VS foreign boxing methods are inherently difficult in design. Although the action design team has worked very hard, whether Chris Collins or Scott Atkins, they are all very hard, but the final effect is presented. It makes me feel like Ip Man 1 vs. MUR ancestor Miura.
Especially the bright spots of fighting logic that I finally found in "Ip Man 3" disappeared in "Ip Man 4".
How did Ye Wen defeat Patton after being crushed to the ground?
Some people say that it was Ye Wen's three abuse tricks. But in fact, it's good to kick the crotch or index. That is the result, not the process.
In a fight, the face, throat, and crotch are the key points, which are originally the key protection areas. People with military backgrounds like Patton will certainly pay more attention to this kind of problem.
Just like a "master of martial arts" said that I couldn't beat you because I didn't use a forbidden move. In fact, if you want to use it, it's not that easy to hit others.
So I was kicked in the crotch and caught in the eye. It's because you have other flaws.
For example, in Ye Wen 3, Zhang Tianzhi lost in the end. It was not because Ye Wen used an inch fist, but because he hit Ye Wen with his previous index. Was hit by an inch punch. Therefore, "inch boxing" is not the cause, but "negligence of prevention" is.
So from this perspective, it is difficult to understand what flaws a person of military background like Patton can reveal before being hit by Master Ye with a sly trick.
Ip Man 2's victory over the tornado relied on the "cut to the middle" experience and lessons left by the patriotic small universe + Master Hong's battle (the former is like Riman, the vulgar is a bit vulgar, but after all, it is an explanation)
When Ip Man 3 drew with Tyson, he deliberately tripped Tyson by finding that Tyson was unstable in the bottom plate + elbow Tyson to defuse Tyson's offensive.
In Ip Man 2, the tornado is equipped with gloves, but Master Ye does not. Master Ye is superior in equipment, and can use his legs in the early stage (disabled in the later stage), and is also superior in skills.
But the scheming bitch Barton wears military boots, and with unlimited fighting, it is obvious that Barton has the advantage. In addition, Patton's martial arts did not show obvious defects. The defense is also very good. Master Ye had an injury on his left hand, he also suffered from cancer, and his age was also extremely disadvantaged.
So the final reversal of passion is passion, inexplicable is also quite inexplicable.
Generally speaking, Ip Man 4 play shows can still be watched, but it is estimated that in the list of Ip Man's classic play shows, I really can't pick one that can be ranked among the best.
Wenxi: I want to talk about everything, but I didn't say anything well.
If it is said that Ip Man 4's literary drama is stronger than Zhang Tianzhi, it is probably the credit of Kenji Kawai + Weixin Ye.
The same is the love between father and son, so the shooting level is better than that of Yuan Yuan.
Although everyone can tell that Ye Man 4 is a re-enactment of the plot of Ye Man 2, but in terms of performance, Ye Man 4 is still a little better: less preaching.
If Ye Wen was overthrown by Button, he would start to reminisce about his wife and children. Then after hitting Button and giving an impassioned speech, it would be too clichéd. Fortunately, the director was more restrained, so the Marine Corps clapped collectively and ended.
But the low level of screenwriters is still obvious.
Let us recall several important clues in this film:
1. Master Ye got cancer and died soon, expressing his understanding of life.
2. The family conflicts between Master Ye and his son Ye Zheng express their understanding of the family.
3. With Bruce Lee. Express understanding of Chinese martial arts.
It sounds like the conception is very rich and comprehensive, and it stands to reason that it is commendable.
In fact, all of these three points in the movie are closed to the last, and none of them is well explained.
Result 1. The fact that Master Ye has cancer, I mentioned it in the beginning of the movie, and at the end I called my son to mention it, but it never happened in the middle!
Master Ye in the middle is called a lively life, and fighting does not affect his performance at all, so that I forget that he is a cancer patient.
Shouldn't it be added that Master Ye is old, low back pain, physical weakness, etc. DEBUFF?
In the film, Master Ye also smoked a cigarette (of course, he only smoked one, the lowest record in history). Does this mean that Master Ye has no love for him?
2. Conflict with his son.
First of all, the relationship between Ye Wen and Ye Zheng in the third part is quite good.
We can understand the adolescent rebellion, the contradiction between the two is rigid.
But why didn't Ye Wen let his son learn boxing? You said that Wan Zonghua imposed his hobbies on his daughter forcibly. This is natural and understandable, but why is Ye Wen's martial idiot forcing his son to not touch what he likes?
And finally Ye Wen understood his problem through the family conflicts between Wan Zonghua and his daughter. How did Ye Zheng understand his father? Finally, knowing that his father was crying after he had cancer, the change was too abrupt.
3. Bruce Lee. As an important person in the first half. The second half is directly..... passersby.
The important person who was the fuse of the contradiction between Master Ye and the Chinese Guild Hall, immediately dropped later.
As an important core figure who promoted Chinese martial arts to the West, it is a pity that he failed to participate in the main line and improve the overall thought of the film.
The so-called "passion between master and apprentice" is not true.
All the supporting roles this time are lacklustre.
Wan Zonghua was possessed by Hong Zhennan in "Ip Man 2", and they did almost exactly the same thing.
I am a regional tyrant-I'm asking Ye Wen to trouble-learn from Ye Wen-I want to bear it-I can't help it anymore-I want to beat a foreigner-I was beaten by a foreigner
Among Ye Man's disciples and grandchildren , including Bruce Lee, all behaved boringly. It can even be said that most of the time, Bruce Lee is not as courteous as Bruce Lee.
The black buddies have some characteristics, but like Wu Jianhao, they feel more like NPCs.
Suddenly, I miss Huang Liang, played by Huang Xiaoming in Ye Wen 2. Although Huang Jiaozhu basically starred in his true colors and is enough for 2, but to be honest, his apprentice is already the most eye-catching in the entire series.
As for the villain , its shaping level is also tornado level.
Anyway, the villains and foreigners in it are almost all carved in the same mold: I just want to be gorgeous, I want to fuck you!
Although speaking of our empathy, the Americans treat the Chinese the same way the Chinese treat blacks today. There are many different angles of discrimination. Some people think that they are low quality and have a high crime rate. Some people think that they have robbed the locals. I don't want to repeat this question here which is right and wrong. The point I want to express is that even if you create a character that engages in racism, it should not be completely facialized.
So it's a pity that instructor Patton is the bottom of the series of important villains. Tyson, who played a short time in "Ip Man 3," also portrayed that although he is arrogant, he keeps his word and cares about his family at the same time. Zhang Tianzhi's limelight quickly overwhelmed Ye Wen. Even Batista in "Zhang Tianzhi" also embodies the inner cunning under the rough appearance, but the evil nature is slanderous on the outside.
It's a pity that we can't see such a villain in "Ip Man 4".

Wooden Dummy
Ye Wen finally filmed the video of the wooden man's stake. Ye Wen stopped for a while, and there was no such important detail! !
And the reason for making the video itself has something to do with Bruce Lee. It is said that Bruce Lee wanted to use a set of foreign-style houses and Ye Wen’s method of trading wooden pegs (to be verified). Unfortunately, because the whole movie Bruce Lee was still relatively marginalized, he could not This kind of mentoring story is very regrettable.
Stepping stones act as Master Luo
Master Luo not only acted as a stepping stone in 2,3,4, but also completed the unprecedented record of being beaten by two versions (Yen Zidan version and Tony Leung version) by Ip Man. It must be called a Wanchai spear god A happy character.
We congratulate Master Luo Mang, and finally don't have to be beaten. It is a pity that Mr. Feng K'an passed away after the second part, otherwise the two might become a dead treasure duo in the Ip Man series.
PS:
I don’t know if everyone has noticed that there is no one. Master Luo complained that the table was too small after being beaten, but he was the first stepping stone in the round table battle of Ip Man 2. The round table that stood at that year was smaller, and there are still various reasons to find... ...
Double Standard King Patton
As a super racist, Patton looks down on any culture other than American culture, especially the yellow race.
Excuse me, how did he allow karate to be taught in the barracks? Isn't karate Japanese?
Button, you are also double standard.
Became the person I hated the most
Chris Collins, the actor of the second villain, is actually an active promoter of Wing Chun in the Marine Corps... and his identity in the movie is exactly the opposite.
Zhou Xiaofei
Zhou Xiaofei didn't know why he played the most part in the stepping stones of soy sauce.
And Zhou Xiaofei has used gossip palm for the third time in my few movie-watching experiences. Sister Xiaofei, can't you do anything else...
Ye Zhun
As the eldest son of Ye Wen, we and I sympathize with Mr. Ye Zhun, who was sent back to Foshan to study directly by Ye Wen at the beginning of Ye Wen 3....Since then, it has never been mentioned by anyone. ........
Master Ye
In Ip Man 2, Master Ye said:
I think only Master Ye can walk, he can beat ten.
New additions:
Ye Man 3 This ending is really a face-slapped face. He obviously accepts his son as a disciple, and the fourth part is no longer taught.....
