Perhaps, among Chinese-language films, the one that can best satisfy the audience's two wishes is Jackie Chan's film. In the consciousness of many audiences, as long as there is a movie starring Jackie Chan, no matter what era the story takes place or who the protagonist is, the positive intention of the movie, the hero's bravery and justice, the humorous plot, superb martial arts and a little touching love They are all essential psychological demands for them to watch movies. Because of this, the four words "Jackie Chan's works" have become a golden signboard.
However, in a sense, the brand is another title of solidification. The elements in Jackie Chan's films that once attracted countless fans and brought him impressive box office have gradually become rigid models, lost their original vitality, and even evolved into a rut that Jackie Chan's films are difficult to get rid of. Therefore, people often say that "Jackie Chan's films are nothing new", "Jackie Chan knows nothing but martial arts", and Jackie Chan also once declared that he will not always be "playing stars" and strive to seek transformation. However, "Glass Bottle", "New" "Police Story", "Myth" and other films that are obviously different from the past have not been recognized by the audience. The repeated efforts not only failed to make Jackie Chan find a breakthrough in transformation, but instead turned into trial and error again and again. Instead of becoming a selling point, new attempts have strengthened the inherent excitement of the audience. Therefore, the new film "Baby Project" in 2006 had to return to the old way.
In "Baby Project", there are not many elements of "Jackie Chan's works" that are loved by the audience, but can the film really win the audience's favor because of this? I don't think so. First of all, almost all the plots in the film have their origins and transitions as expected by the audience, and some old-fashioned bridges make the story lacklustre. Secondly, the fighting scenes have been significantly reduced compared to before, and the intensity has also been greatly reduced, so that the NG shots at the end of the film are not only pitiful but also turned into small pictures. Furthermore, Jackie Chan was born in the 1950s, and now he is over fifty years old, but the age of the person in the play is only about 30 years old, and Gao Yuanyuan, who plays opposite him, is only 27 years old. This age dislocation is in Jackie Chan. The cooperation with Shu Qi, Yang Cai Ni and Kim Hee Sun already exists, but I don't know how long it will continue. All in all, Jackie Chan is old, and "Jackie Chan's works" are old-fashioned. Although Jackie Chan is still in high spirits on the screen, I believe that under the screen, Jackie Chan's helplessness is a fact that cannot be concealed.
Therefore, although the "Baby Project" meets the two basic requirements of the audience for watching movies mentioned at the beginning of this article, it cannot meet the deep needs of the audience - they hope to have a spiritual adventure through watching movies, because in Jackie Chan's movie There is no danger.
