In order to dislike the so-called "sequel" more objectively, I re-watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" again. I didn't like it very much. Like many viewers, the actor's accent was very playful, and the fat brother opened his mouth: "Slim Lotus... "Crying with laughter, Zhang Zhen dignified in Xinjiang for a long time, with a southern accent, and he instantly persuaded a foot and a half. However, what makes Ang Lee different from other directors is that he can combine his unique perspective with the humanistic temperament of the East. With this film, Brother Fa turned into a great man of elegance and chivalry, and also established a classic role in the hearts of fans. In Ang Lee's films, Zhang Ziyi splurges the vivid, youthful and fearless temperament, and the beauty is stunning. It's no wonder that fans who like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will say that the film is philosophical, restrained, and full of beauty, and it can stand the interpretation of time. You don't have to love "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But it takes the golden man for granted.
Now, I really, fundamentally, haven't seen this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Qingming". There are more than N reasons for rejecting it.
First of all, the director is not that director. Let's not talk about why Ang Lee refused to make the sequel, but it's a headache to hear that Yuan Heping is the director to make this 2, let alone ask me to spend money to watch it. I do not deny Yuan Heping's achievements as an international martial arts instructor, but I question Yuan Heping as a director. Before that, Yuan had the experience of being a director. Since 1978, he has successively filmed "Snake Shaped Hands", "Drunken Fist", "Odd" Door Dunjia", "Heavenly Master Hits Evil", "Money Laundering"... The above films are action films at best, except that the action design is beautiful, the plot connotation and culture are not worth mentioning, and the last time Director Yuan filmed "Su Qi'er" " was in 2010, the last time "Tai Chi Chuan" was in 1996, the director had a long interval, and all the films were bad. Yuan Heping's "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are world-renowned. He is only an action director, not a director. Why can't he be a respectable martial arts instructor?
Secondly, the Jianghu given by the trailer is not the original Jianghu. There is love and artistic conception in Ang Lee's rivers and lakes, and there are possibilities for different interpretations. This rivers and lakes are oriental and are about human nature. It can use Li Mubai's mouth to tell you that no amount of strength can resolve the inner struggle, or it can use Yu Jiaolong's sword to show the reason for rebellion. Although it is not as realistic as Xu Haofeng's Jianghu, the beauty lies in the artistic conception, and the beauty lies in the rationality of the characters' emotions. Let's take a look at this "sequel". Although it is adapted from Wang Dulu's original work, the script is said to have been changed beyond recognition. The entire trailer presents a Hollywood-style "jianghu". If you are superstitious about Hollywood, it is recommended to watch the trailer. "Tiger Hidden Dragon" artistic conception, what you will see next will be The Lord of the Rings, Braveheart, plus an animation online game mosaic, full of online games that are visual, it is light to say that it is nondescript, and can express the helpless emotion of three words: No culture, it's terrible!
Again, the actors are not those actors. The cast of the sequel, Donnie Yen: Martial Arts Superstar; Michelle Yeoh: Martial Arts Superstar; Jason Scott Lee: Chinese? foreigner? I can't tell the difference between silly and silly. I can't expect to see more different characters with full personality in such an actor composition. Add these three together to sum up in one word: hit! hit! hit!
Also, the soundtrack sucks. I agree with Bonnie Bonnie's comment on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon": "Music, the music that you are immersed in and don't notice, is the good music in the movie." Its soundtrack is like a model of handcrafted farming civilization, There is no distinction between Chinese classical musical instruments and Western musical instruments. From the beginning to the end of the play, the film and music complement each other without the slightest abruptness. In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Chinese music embraces the world with an independent attitude, and it also won the love of everyone. No matter how many times I'm not tired, let's take a look at the soundtrack prepared by the eighth master for the sequel. It is a pure assembly line production process, without sincerity, and it is completely Westernized.
Then...
and then...
and then
......
N many reasons I won't state one by one, in short, "Qingming Baojian" is not only rotten, but also doomed to shit. Please look forward to the bad reviews. If the effect is contrary to expectations, I will eat shit-flavored chocolate.
Post as proof.
