At the last Golden Globes, Stallone won the Best Supporting Actor Award for Creed. If you are not a fan of Brother Long, will you feel a little weird after knowing this news?Although in the eyes of many people, Stallone is not only an antique man in the era of old-fashioned muscle action movies (they are 70 years old this year, and it is rare in ancient times), compared with those well-known screen tough guys of his time, such as Arnold Governor, Bruce Bald , Harrison Jones, and others, there is only one facial paralysis actor with spare muscles. But you probably don't know that Brother Long is not only a good man in both civil and military life, but also a winner in life without discounts (achievements overshadowed by Long Aotian, ask you whether you will accept the good date)!
Before he was known to the world as "Rocky," Brother Long's fortunes were actually very poor. When it was the worst, he even made an A movie (that little movie of "Italian Stallion"). I really haven't seen it. Fortunately, because of the birth of "Rocky," Brother Long has been recognized by the whole world. He not only directed five "Rocky" sequels, but he also created the "First Blood" series and action classics such as Cliffhanger. But don't judge Long Brother as a simple action just because he acts in action movies (Governor Arnold goes to film comedies because of his natural sense of humor, and Bruce Bald, with melancholy eyes, can even star in literary and artistic films). As for Superstar, he is really not such a simple person. Director To Qifeng once produced a movie called "Big Man Has Great Wisdom." Although the story connotation of this movie has nothing to do with Brother Long, it is most appropriate to use this title to describe Brother Long-except With well-developed muscles, Brother Long's mind is not simple at all.
As the classic movie that let the whole world know Long Ge, "Rocky" won three heavyweight best (film, director, and editing) awards at the Oscars in 1977, and also won best actor and nominations for original screenplay. In this movie, Brother Long is not only the male lead but also the author of the original script!If you just found out about this, would there be 10,000 grass and mud horses passing by in your heart, and then you shouted in your heart, "I'll stop!" If such a thing really happened, I can only say to you regretfully: I'm very sorry!In fact, Brother Long is not only a good screenwriter but also a good director ("Rocky 2, 3, 4, and 6"), and his long-silent work ("The Expendables"), so don't think that only Ben (Ben Affleck) and his good friend Ma Daimeng (Matt Damon) can act, write, and direct in Hollywood. They are still tender in front of Brother Long!
And since I said that Brother Long is a "winner in life" with both civil and military skills, of course, it is not as simple as being able to be a writer and director at the same time. Brother Long is also an accomplished abstract painter who has held solo exhibitions in many museums around the world.Having said so much about Brother Long's legendary past, now let's take a look at his new work in the "Rocky" series that just won the Golden Globe Award, "Creed" (Brother Long is one of the screenwriters again). As the seventh work of the "Rocky" series without an official title, this is an excellent sequel that inherits the "Rocky" orthodoxy in all aspects of "essence, energy, and spirit".
This time, the protagonist of the story is not our old brother Long (and the character of Rocky), but the illegitimate son of Rocky's friend and old enemy Apollo Creed-Adonis Johnson (Creed). Because of the shadow of his father's lack of love in his childhood, Adonis, a young man in middle school, gave up his easy life of a high-paying job in a big company and insisted on going back to the old path of his deceased boxing father. But when he challenged his opponents with his personal talent (without systematic training), he was easily knocked out by professional boxers.
The second-year junior decided to travel to Philadelphia and find his father's best opponent at the time, Rocky, who had grown into an aging, lonely, and twilight old man, and train him himself. "I refused to teach this middle school boy at first." Although Brother Long had this idea in his heart, after all, he was infected by the enthusiasm of the young man and his love for boxing, and he began to train this young man with incomparable talent. However, just when Creed II's strength increased greatly, and he even got a chance to fight with the current world boxing champion, Brother Long fell ill with cancer! This is obviously an old-fashioned plot, but it is logically interpreted by Brother Long with real, natural, and even near-true acting skills. Looking at the burly but weak figure of Rocky, who vomited due to chemotherapy, the hero's twilight lament came spontaneously.
In the end, whether Brother Long can defeat the disease, and whether Creed II can successfully defeat his opponent in the ring, is left to everyone to find the answer (there is a DVDSCR quality version for download on the Internet, but there is no Chinese subtitle, and English is not available. Good friends can only wait.It is worth noting that in this "Creed", many boxing action scenes in the ring are shot with long shots, which is really "drunk watching" for me as a fighting fan (don't doubt it). , which is 100% praise). As a result, the complicated and varied shifts in the boxing match and the intertwining of fierce and ferocious fists were all collected by the photographer in a long shot that needed to keep moving around. This kind of shooting is not necessarily easy to do even in relatively static literary and artistic films, and it is even more valuable to appear in dynamic sports action films. And in this movie, the handling of these long shots is almost perfect.
Let's return to the theme of the article at the end of the article. The achievement of "both civil and military" in the film industry is not what I admire most about Brother Long. What really made me admire him so much and call him a "winner in life" is that he made an achievement worthy of the title of "Italian Stallion"—he gave birth to three long legs, beautiful and full of aura. The big, beautiful girl's daughter!Without this, Brother Long really can't be regarded as a winner in life!This article was shared on the WeChat public account at midnight (wuyetalk).
