The names of Yang Zi and Huang Shengyi will always come into people's field of vision by chance. Huang Shengyi, who graduated from Beiying in 2005, was later attracted by the star. Just when everyone thought that this woman was on the rise from then on, the second movie still came out. Before filming started, he was frozen by the company because he took over and took nude photos privately. After that, the unilateral termination of the contract brought the relationship between the two parties to the bottom. After the complete fallout, he was pulled into the group by Yang Zi, and he was involved in various TV series and third-rate movies. . It would be fine if the filming was done well. The married businessman Yang Zi smartly gave up the line of showing off his wealth on the bad street, and instead started a public mistress route with his entertainer and business partner, constantly attracting attention, and Huang Shengyi also Wearing this hat of a public mistress, he began to gradually accumulate popularity. Although it has been tepid, he finally waited for the shooting of "Legend of the White Snake" this time, with an investment of 30 million US dollars, a powerful cast, and a decent resume. Excellent director, it seems that victory or defeat is here.
How much of the 30 million US dollars was spent on Jet Li's remuneration and publicity, we don't know, back to the film itself, in the post-summer period when domestic bad films gather and foreign films are rushing to release, this film still has something to watch. . For the actors of various audience groups, there is Jet Li, there are various diamond supporting roles, and there are Lin Feng and articles below, which can be said to have a wide range of blows; based on Chinese classical legends, they are loaded with love in the new century, and they often jump out of the modern atmosphere. The lines have successfully created the article, a character who is responsible for funny, and the touching point is not forgetting to add some thunder points. If tragic is not easy to shoot, then it will be a little more nauseous; if classic is not good, then find another way; if Jet Li only wants to be a supporting role, then cut it to be the protagonist.
How does our heroine perform in this star-holding-moon mode? Sadly, my impression of Miss Huang is still the dumb girl in "Kung Fu". Even if the whole film is full of women chasing men, she is still very violent and enjoyable. I can accept it, but Huang Shengyi did not portray the role of Bai Suzhen. Well, it's trapped in the vicious circle of being a charming witch when there is a male protagonist, and a domineering witch when there is no male lead. The exchange of the two always makes people feel unnatural. What Huang Shengyi lacks is the kind of step by step by Fa Hai. The pressing emotional driving force, maybe Miss Huang has always regarded herself as strong enough, especially after eating the fairy grass that is not afraid of lighters, she did not pay attention to Fa Hai, whose background was actually quite brutal, which directly led to the brutal ending. great reversal. It is precisely Ah Sa who interprets Xiaoqing, a young woman with pragmatism and a vision of seeing through the world. Lin Feng's performance is quite satisfactory, and the bitter man whose hobby is rock climbing can feel it. And Miriam Yeung, Lin Xue, and Du Wenze's high-density appearances really brought many surprises to the audience. Miriam Yeung's stupidity, Lin Xue's stupidity, Du Wenze's cuteness, the most distinctive side of each person bombed in turn in just one scene, laughing The sound continued.
Next, let's talk about the official protagonist of this film, Jet Li. According to him, this is a film that discusses human feelings and legal principles. There is no right or wrong, but how the executor should look at human feelings and do things. Tsui Hark back then The "Green Snake" Jet Li failed to appear, but gave way to Zhao Wenzhuo, who was very young. This appearance is also considered a completeness for Jet Li. Looking at his works in the past two years, because of his high value, the most recent blockbuster starring in China is the "Famous Name" four years ago, and several foreign films were also poorly evaluated. Cheng Xiaodong's "Legend of the White Snake" and Tsui Hark's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" were even running between the two studios during filming, and the cooperation between Jet Li and Dao Cheng has a long history, although Da Dao Cheng has filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story" " and "Swordsman", but that was also the time in Hong Kong, the name of the "Beauty in the Land" that entered the mainland made people feel chills on their backs. How did he exert his strength this time? It is also thoughtful, no one can guarantee the result of such a movie that the rich man wants to pile up with money.
As he grows older, the more Jet Li wants to convey his martial arts thoughts and Buddhist views through movies, but this cannot be the reason why Cheng Dao, who is a martial artist, has not shown his skills in acting at all. Flying around in the rough CG background, which is quite beautiful at first glance, and punching in the air. Kung fu movies have been in decline, but they shouldn't use the name of kung fu as Daxiu Shanzhai stunts. Jet Li, your martial arts don't need a later stage, and it's really uncomfortable to see you flying around with inferior special effects.
In general, this is a movie with surprises. The surprise is that it is not as bad as expected. Maybe we have become more tolerant after the baptism of countless bad movies in the past. Maybe this is the beginning of the so-called quality of domestic blockbusters. A good sign of ascension. But at the same time, if Miss Huang Shengyi thinks that if she doesn't improve her acting skills, she can make herself popular just by relying on this mistress route, then I hope she realizes sooner that she will never gain the respect of the public. I miss the movie in "Kung Fu" You are young. And Jet Li, either you go to make sci-fi movies or kung fu movies, please don't make inferior sci-fi kung fu movies.
