very nice

I think it's very good. After reading the message, I think it's too difficult for film and television producers.

The stereotype of Chinese elements in foreign countries has been around for a long time. This film shows the efforts of the main creative team in this regard. You must know that foreigners are not used to such a setting. This is not what Chinese elements look like in their minds. , so in this regard, I think the main creative team should be more inclined to our market, the foreign box office will obviously not be ideal, just like Jackie Chan's Kung Fu "Kung Fu Dream" many years ago, it is too difficult to substitute the protagonist, so The box office will be a huge loss.

Living abroad for a long time, most of the Chinese food in the hearts of foreigners is Chinese food that we would never eat in the restaurant outside, so I understand very well that it is extremely difficult to change their understanding of our cultural symbols. Jackie Chan took the American team to do this, which can make the story line smooth, with laughter and tears, and the audience is probably under the age of 14. It is a family movie suitable for the whole family to watch together. It is really quite good. We have very few classic family movies, and now I feel like there is one more.

This film also sees Jackie Chan's idea of ​​continuing the kung fu elements he is good at in another way. Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy effect is strong, and he is familiar with foreign markets, which is an important part of our cultural output.

The score is a bit too low. This kind of film is always 10,000 times better than many foreign films, which forcefully tamper with elements and stuff inappropriate movie ratings into PG13 films in disguise. Adult audiences of those movies will give high marks, but in fact, it is not suitable for children at all. This movie is suitable for the whole family to watch, simple and cute, full of innocence.
