Speaking of Jackie Chan, I naturally think of Bruce Lee, the famous martial arts star. The two are also action stars, but there are differences in martial arts forms and performance styles. Bruce Lee belongs to the Southern School. He is not only a national hero, but also international. He used his superb Chinese martial arts to overthrow the tall foreigners, which greatly improved the morale of the Chinese people, and made foreigners no longer think that the Chinese are the "sick man of East Asia". . And Jackie Chan of the northern faction is a hero of a small person. He can see injustice and draw a sword to help, but he can also take the best policy when necessary. Jackie Chan's movies have added a lot of comedy elements, which belong to the type of "play seriously and laugh happily". Most of Hong Kong's martial arts films incorporate some stunts with the advancement of high technology, but Jackie Chan insists on performing with his real kung fu instead of stunt doubles. At the same time, his films are full of Chinese national style and rich in entertainment. And lead people to good.
Jackie Chan uses the characteristics of the Northern School and absorbs the strengths of various schools of martial arts films to synthesize a colorful and interesting new style. Jackie Chan's moves are often full of tricks and changes, showing extremely high difficulty everywhere, as well as continuous and ingenious coordination, and even ordinary daily movements are turned into wonderful performances. The North-style and comedy-based martial arts films are unique, focusing on ingenuity and entertainment, and seeking novelties. "Drunken Fist" starring Jackie Chan and directed by Yuan Heping can be said to be the new peak of Hong Kong martial arts films, officially making North Pie comedy goes mainstream.
The positive and optimistic Jackie Chan can not only act, but also serve as a director. In 1980, Jackie Chan self-directed and acted in "The Apprentice and Brothers", with the theme of mentoring and brotherhood, and the action design is ingenious and amazing. The biggest achievement of this film is that it no longer uses "acrobatics to pretend to be martial arts", so that the real kung fu of the Northern School can be vividly displayed, and it is no longer far-fetched. And "Police Story" directed and acted in 1985 can be said to be one of Jackie Chan's masterpieces, and it can also be called a classic of Hong Kong martial arts comedy. In this film, Jackie Chan interspersed gunfights and martial arts with some comedy plots, which not only had a certain degree of expression, but also highlighted the humaneness of the little people.
First of all, "Police Story" is a martial arts film. The plot of the film is thrilling, the action design is ingenious, concise and neat, and the scene layout is large. It can be seen that large-scale production has already begun to emerge in this film. (1995) et al.] a tendency. As soon as the film opens, there is a small climax: the young police officer Chen Jiaju is in hot pursuit in pursuit of Zhu Tao, the leader of the drug cartel. Then, he snatched a parasol from the pedestrian, hooked the rear window of the fast-driving double-decker bus, climbed up desperately, and fought hard with Zhu Tao and his thugs in the car. The consequences of falling down would be unimaginable. Chen Jiaju, played by Jackie Chan, relies on a spirit of justice, so he is so reckless. At the end of the film, in order to compete for Zhu Tao's drug-trafficking evidence, he jumped from the six-story railing to the patio, hugged the high-hanging chandelier, and slid down the lamp post, causing the strings of bulbs to burst everywhere. , Sparks splashed, and the ripped wires made a crackling explosion. Chen Jiaju was like a hero falling from the sky, creating such a thrilling and glorious world. The audience not only squeezed a sweat for him, but also applauded for this spectacular scene. applaud. These thrilling fight scenes appear from time to time in the film, people marvel at Jackie Chan's excellent skills, and Jackie Chan also created another kung fu myth for Hong Kong movies.
Meanwhile, Police Story is another comedy. The comic character is the straightforward and lovely police officer created by Jackie Chan. After arresting Zhu Tao, the leader of the drug cartel, on a double-decker bus, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the trial, he was ordered to guard Zhu Tao's female secretary, Salina, 24 hours a day. The arrogant and arrogant Serena ignored Chen Jiaju. In order to make Serena obey, he assumed a trap and arranged for police officers to pretend to be assassins to assassinate Serena. He was expected to be seen through by Serena, and turned out to be clever but mistaken, and the testimony on the tape was changed into a low-level joke, which made him make a fool of himself in court and was dismissed from office. Another example is that although he loves his girlfriend very much, in order to show his charm in front of Serena, he deliberately said that his girlfriend cried and apologized to him on the phone, how he reprimanded her and so on. It happened that his girlfriend was in the house at the time, but he was so embarrassed that he hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.
Jackie Chan's martial arts not only played beautifully, but he himself also brought a kind of innate comedy seed, revealing humor and wit in every gesture.
The end of the film is a happy ending that is common in comedy mode. Although Chen Jiaju was framed and framed by the drug cartel and went through hardships, he found the evidence of the drug cartel with his bravery and wit, and was relieved of suspicion. Sanctioned drug cartels.
Like many of Jackie Chan's other films, the policeman Chen Jiaju in "Police Story" is not an unattainable hero, but is actually a living little person who is very close to life. He just wanted to do his job well, arrest the drug cartels, that's all, and he was able to risk his life and take risks for this. His professionalism is really impressive. And the people around him, including his boss, colleagues, and even his girlfriend, although sometimes misunderstood him, still tried their best to assist him at the most critical moment and help him capture physical evidence, all of which permeate "Police Story" Strong human touch.
Jackie Chan is a modern martial arts boy. On the one hand, he is impulsive and playful, and on the other hand, he is simple and simple. In the laughter, he can appreciate Jackie Chan's lively and lively performance style, which makes people feel that Bruce Lee and Xu Guanwen are combined into one.
After "Police Story", Jackie Chan continued to make several episodes of "Police Story Sequel" (1988), "Police Story II Super Police" (1992), "Police Story 4 Simple Tasks" (1996), all of which are also martial arts, Add some jokes to the shootout to show the brilliance of the little hero. In 1995, two films, "The Red Zone" and "The Torch" were shot in a row.
