Chen Zhen is confused

"Jingwu Fengyun-Chen Zhen" is a commercial calculation film. It is better to say that Liu Weiqiang's kung fu films have formed a set of framework models: an anti-traditional hero character (Ip Man from Homeman, Chen Zhen from Literary FEEL); a The Chinese who deal with the forces of the enemy and our own seem to be foreign in the surface, but they are still Chinese in their bones (Lin Jiadong of "Ip Man 1", Zheng Zeshi of "Ip Man 2", and Huang Bo of "Jing Wu"). Such characters have plans for their own interests, and they understand the righteousness of the current national crisis, which is the most three-dimensional. Liu Weiqiang, who was born in "Infernal Affairs", has a very accurate grasp of this kind of undercover and undercover, and sometimes even steals the limelight of the protagonist. I don't know if it's good or bad.

The plot of "Chen Zhen" is fast-paced and jumpy - Boss Liu played by Huang Qiusheng was a complete businessman when he appeared on the stage. I want to say that the end of the movie is too unfinished, and the plot is fast-forwarding. Shu Qi's death came suddenly, and it didn't exaggerate the emotions of the audience. A lot of writing was spent to describe Shu Qi's role as a waste. Even when Chen Zhen was knocked down, he recalled that there was no image of Shu Qi in the past.

It is a good thing to have a rich plot, which proves that the screenwriter has spent his time and the script has content. However, the beginning and end of the story development were not handled well, and there was no transition in between. This is the director's problem. I've seen a few movies made by Liu Weiqiang and Donnie Yen, and it seems that this is the case. When "Ip Man 1" came to the stage for a duel, Ip Man made a nonsensical sentence: Chinese Kung Fu contains Chinese philosophy. (This is the truth, just like "people die; grandma is a woman", there is nothing wrong. But this line of dialogue has no previous foreshadowing, and it is very abrupt here.) In "Ip Man 2", accepting the British challenge At the time, he also said: Burning incense represents the humility of the Chinese people, and you won't understand it. (Forgive me, as a Chinese, I don’t understand that.)

“Chen Zhen” has a mediocre box office in the mainland market. When the festival is on the eve of fishing, the box-office movie that punches the Japanese doesn’t do much. In fact, it reflects the rationality of mainland audiences to a certain extent. Too many of these movies are made, and the patriotic bubble is overflowing. Viewers start to get bored. Donnie Yen's "fighting drama" is undoubtedly the strongest on the ground, and Chen Zhen's appearance with the Green Hornet is even more fusion. This time, the literary drama has also grown a lot, no longer showing a stiff expression like in "Ip Man". Try a new role, don't play patriotic themes, the actor will still have your share sooner or later.
