I know that there is this person in the movies I have seen, but the impression is not deep.
I turned out the Iron Monkey again, because of the recent hits of Ye Wen, the propaganda of October Siege, and the coming Jin Yiwei. He also played the role of Dongchang before, but that was a big supporting role. Although I was deeply impressed at that time, he often didn't know that Dan was him and he was Dan.
In the past few years, Dan has really become popular.
It has been 30 years since the debut. These 30 years have also been the 30 years of the ups and downs of martial arts movies. A
dozen or twenty years ago, when he was 30 years old, Dan was really young, with a melon-faced face, and a striking heroic spirit.
They looked serious, but sometimes they showed a smile.
The corners of the mouth are a little crooked, the eyes are a little slanted, the face and eyes that are not symmetrical, rebellious, righteous and evil, this kind of performance has no trace, it is not that there is no performance, but it is no longer manifested in the form of performance.
Dan was even more amazing than the handsome men in the current draft (Cao Shaoqin, Huang Qiying, Nalan). He often laments that if he was born 10 years later, it must be a different scene.
It's a pity that our aesthetics in the 1980s still liked the tall and righteous image with round faces. The 20-year-old Dan can only play a neglected supporting or contradictory role.
In the 90s, the 30-year-old Dan realized this and started to make his own work, directing or martial arts, but at that time, our freehand martial arts's sad departure after the prosperity made Dan Ge's hero useless and nonsensical began to appear on the stage.
In the 21st century, Ang Lee's Oscars aroused everyone's hope for martial arts. A batch of blockbusters started martial arts, and freehand brushwork turned into magical fantasy, and finally even pandas can master kung fu. This is what we found, people who know kungfu are old or changed careers, Jackie Chan has started to play comedies, Jet Li has started to play literary films, and only Dan is still fighting. Life is more than fighting.
The popularity of Infernal Affairs makes us realize that the characters cannot be completely positive or negative, and it is also positive and negative, and it is more confirmed. Brother Dan's unrelenting and unwillingness to give up, and bad righteousness made us finally notice him.
This kind of performance is after we are used to watching Zhou Xingxing’s exhilarating and furious nonsensical performance ("Kung Fu"); after we are tired of the colorful martial arts of celebrities flying around ("Heroes", "Promise", "Full of Gold "A"); numb the preaching and stand-in of the Kung Fu superstar (Jackie Chan series, "Huo Yuan Jia"); it is a kind of nature returning to nature.
Dan has been in film for 30 years, which is also the 30 years in the development of martial arts movies. He may be born out of time, but fortunately it is not too late.
I wish Dan Ge have more good works and pay attention to safety.
