But fortunately there is a director who can take tricks. 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. Previously cooperated with Jackie Chan in "Little Soldier", and then portrayed the tough guy Liu Ye in "Tough Guy". This time he is a director and director, which is rare in domestic film circles. A good book to find a good director is the norm in the film and television industry, but the number of ways that Hollywood-style directors participate in the development of screenwriting and control the plot of a movie is just emerging in China.
In this police story, Ding Sheng successfully displayed the story in fragments on the screen within the first twenty minutes. Everything seemed clear, but it felt abrupt. The scene of the movie is very small, mainly centered on the inside and outside of a bar, but the pattern is very large, and the fuse of the event is the indifference to human words. It's commendable to be able to add this kind of thing that is almost a condemnation of human nature into a main melody movie.
The three elements of reliable movies mentioned above, and the intensified emotions of reliable directors end here. Looking at the distributors and participating organizations, everyone should understand that this movie can no longer follow the usual line of the Jackie Chan police story. Fetters and balance are things that mainland movies can never forget. You can't let a hard-fought and vigorous movie die halfway because of a word from a certain organization, right?
Reliable actors are another factor, of course, not including Jing Tian. Take a look at the leading 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 created after they appeared are undoubtedly distinctive. Jackie Chan used a Hong Kong-style performance to create a high-level super policeman, while Liu Ye showed conspiracy and hatred against the dark side of people to the fullest. Everyone was deeply impressed by Nawei's city servants, Liu Yiwei's greed, Yin Tao's unobstructed speech, and even Zhou Xiaoou's stubbornness. But, what about Jing Tian? Does your family know about such a jumping character and so many changing characters?
In general, the flaws are not concealed.
In fact, Jackie Chan should understand that experience: a reliable actor, a reliable director, and a reliable plot can make a reliable movie. It can be said that this is a rare good film among Jackie Chan movies in recent years.
After so many years, it’s good for the older brother, who is obviously unable to move, to be able to still have movies coming out, and to see him working hard on the big screen is also the luck of the audience. The Yo-Yo movie market can only make money from love now, and it seems that you can only find it in Hollywood movies. It's not easy for the eldest brother to stick to the action movie.
The eldest brother once said: I hope to make action movies that do not bleed and kill people. Isn't this a compromise to harmony? It was like an old martial artist slowing down his fists and feet in front of the restrained regulations. In China’s film market, co-productions will definitely become the mainstream. Romance films and literary and artistic films will often not have much influence because of the subject matter, but crime films and action films always need to touch because they show the most extreme good and evil. something. The gradual decline of the Hong Kong action film market after the return of Hong Kong in 1997 is not unrelated to this, right?
