The popularity of Chinese New Year movies is first of all fun, secondly stimulating, and lastly touching. A moving film must have depth and sincerity. Many arrogant directors have encountered Waterloo here; an exciting film must have a strong sense of rhythm and shocking visual effects, but if the plot is not good, it is a B-level film; a happy film It is the most expensive type of New Year's gear. It is both appropriate and pleasing. If you get the right joke, the plot of the blood is also popular.
"Police Story 2013" is like flamenco mash-up rock, moving, joyful, and exciting at the same time. What moved me was that my brother committed a major crime for revenge, the police were willing to be sandbags to save the hostages, and the father went through fire and water to save his daughter; the excitement was related to the action, Jackie Chan's action scenes, the police pushed into the closed space, and the car chase was full of rhythm; Laughter, Jackie Chan's movies are the least lacking in humor. An inadvertent laughter after tension can easily magnify its effect. This relaxed and moderate way can easily win the audience's favor.
Jackie Chan has always been a smart filmmaker. He understands the audience's preferences and also understands where his greatest abilities lie. Although his works in the past few years have not been shocking masterpieces, they have been able to bribe many people's hearts. Beginning with "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", Jackie Chan's play has changed more and more complicatedly. Whether it is a serious role, a bloody way, or a playful game, Jackie Chan is constantly adjusting himself and creating very different characters.
In "Police Story 2013", he played Zhong Wen as a tall people's police officer, not only a fearless professional image, but also a loving, smooth, stubborn and persistent part. Since it is a policeman, of course there will be action scenes, but unlike the past, Zhong Wen's role is not much, but it is heavy enough, especially in order to let Wu Jiang release the hostage and confront the thug, the scene is quite heavy.
In these fighting scenes with not too many scenes, Jackie Chan is not like the past, playing all kinds of cute and funny, but every stage is quite solid, and every action is as serious as the character and a little rigid. . In "Shinjuku Incident", Jackie Chan's fighting scene is equally serious, but it is a scene of brutal killing, how does CULT come, and the fighting scene in "Police Story 2013" shows the strength of a tough man's tenderness. This is Jackie Chan's most distinctive place in this work.
Although he violated his statement in public that he would no longer make dramas, but from the film, we can't see the eldest brother's attempt to seek changes on the road, especially the literary drama, which emphasizes the capture of the psychological changes of the characters. At this time, the fighting drama has become a supplement to the literary drama, and it is an element of the multi-layered character shaping of the character.
The head of this film, Ding Sheng, has made a contribution to the transformation of Jackie Chan's drama. Since "Tough Guy" has been stunning on the screen, Director Ding has always told the big stories of the little people vividly. In 2010, he cooperated with Jackie Chan for the first time to shoot "Little Soldier" has achieved good results.
This year, Director Ding cooperated with Jackie Chan again, and it seems that the two have a better understanding. In the interpretation of the role, Jackie Chan is more natural and relaxed, while Ding Daozhe is more precise. The actor Liu Ye, who has collaborated with Director Ding for the third time, also has a high-level performance in this work, which echoes Jackie Chan's performance of one good and one evil just right.
The most interesting thing is that "Police Story 2013" is not a simple police and gangster film, it is more similar to the dark humor of "Nightclub". Except for Jackie Chan and Liu Ye, other characters are making jokes, and the jokes themselves are all funny. It satirizes the bad phenomena in society and the dark side of various characters. In order to make the movie better, actors with distinct personalities such as Yingda, Liu Peiqi, Yu Rongguang, and Liu Yiwei dare to be green leaves in the film, and the scenes such as car chases and police pushing walls are also constantly adding extra weight to the scenes.
Most of the film's scenes take place in a closed bar, and the recollections are in other settings, but none of them are big scenes. When the director was dealing with the plot, he kept filling it in and making noodles with dots, making the movie a small production and a big cost effect. These means are undoubtedly increasing the value of the film. If you do it shrewdly, it will naturally be wonderful, and the audience will naturally buy it if it is persuasive. The work that broke 100 million on Christmas Eve is a direct return to the wisdom of the film.
