Reliable actors, reliable directors and reliable plots can make reliable movies. I don't know why Jackie Chan, as an actor who has been in the film circle for so many years, is still groping for this sentence? "Police Story 2013", as a Hong Kong-style action film under the core of the main theme, is undoubtedly only a sensational line in the plot. The crime of the second generation of police officers and the large-scale gun battle scene in the last police story must not appear in the mainland. ——Even in cities with shadows of inland backgrounds. Otherwise, not to mention the film distributor, Beijing Film Studio, which has not appeared in theatrical films for many years, will block the big brother, and the Publicity Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security is also famous in it. Therefore, this fundamentally requires that this police story can only be a co-production that cannot be fanciful in terms of plot. But luckily there is a director who can make it happen. As director Ding Sheng, who was born in MV and turned to the film industry, Police Story 2013 is only the fifth work in his film resume. He cooperated with Jackie Chan in "Little Soldier" before, and then portrayed the tough guy Liu Ye in "Tough Guy". This time, he is also a director, which is rare in the domestic film circle. It is normal in the film and television industry to find a good director with a good book, but the number of Hollywood-style directors participating in the screenwriting and controlling the development of the movie plot is just emerging in China. In this police story, Ding Sheng successfully displayed the story in pieces on the screen within the first 20 minutes. Everything seemed clear, but it was abrupt. The scene of the film is small, mainly around the inside and outside of a bar, but the pattern is large, and the fuse of its events is the indifference of people. To be able to add something that is almost a condemnation of human nature in a main theme movie is commendable. The three elements of a reliable movie mentioned above, the reliable director and the plot end here. Looking at the distributors and participating agencies, everyone should understand that this movie can no longer be requested according to the usual drama of Jackie Chan's police story. Constraints and balance are things that mainland movies can never forget. You can't let a hard-working and vigorous movie die halfway because of a word from a certain agency? And reliable actors are another element, of course, Jing Tian is not included. Look at the main actors: Jackie Chan, Liu Ye, supporting roles: Na Wei, Liu Yiwei, Zhou Xiaoou, Yu Rongguang, Liu Peiqi, well, even the debt collector whose front teeth were knocked out, the characters they created after their appearance were undoubtedly distinct. Jackie Chan used a Hong Kong-style performance to create a high-level super cop, while Liu Ye showed conspiracy and hatred for the dark side of people vividly. Nawei's philistine, Liu Yiwei's greed, Yin Tao's His open mouth, and even Zhou Xiaoou's arrogance, left a deep impression on everyone. But what about Jing Tian? Do your family know about such jumping characters and so many changing personalities? All in all, let’s face it. In fact, Jackie Chan should have understood the experience from it: reliable actors and reliable directors and reliable plots can make reliable movies. It can be said that this is a rare good film among Jackie Chan movies in recent years. After so many years, it is good for the older brother, who is obviously unable to move, to still have a movie, and it is also a blessing for the audience to see him working hard on the big screen. In the Yoyo movie market, now it can only make money from love. It seems that the fist-to-meat fighting and large-scale explosions can only be found in Hollywood movies. It is not easy for only the big brother to insist on action movies. Big brother once said: I hope to make action movies that don't bleed and die. Isn't this a compromise of harmony? It's like an aging martial artist slowing down his fists in the face of the rules of restraint. In China's film market, co-production films will definitely become mainstream. Romance films and literary films will not have much influence because of their subject matter, but crime films and action films always need to be touched because they show the most extreme good and evil. something. After the return of Hong Kong in 1997, the Hong Kong action film market gradually declined, is it not unrelated to this?
