The Chinese film and television industry especially likes to follow suit. When the Qing Palace drama comes, the screen is full of It's bald and braided; the Tang Dynasty became popular, so those who shouted slaves and masters became Tang Dynasty people. History and culture are written by people, and the living people have the greatest rights. No matter whether he is a king or a king, whether he is a grandmaster or a hero, he will inevitably be painted and dressed up as needed. Ye Wen is dead, so he can't control the living people to push out Ye Wen's movies one by one, although these Ye Wen are not alone no matter how they look at them.
I don't know if it's because Chinese people still have awe of traditional martial arts. Ip Man's five films are very ethical, each has its own merits, and it also allows the audience to choose their favorite dishes. Ip Man 3 lived in the shadow of 1 and 2 films, and the box office was not good, which is a pity. It's not a great movie, but it's a serious movie, and a good movie. Just like Ye Wen's image in this drama, the hero can't resist the will of God, and Ye Wen 3 can't stand the big situation. It is poignant and beautiful, and there is an inexplicable joy in my heart that "everyone is drunk and I wake up alone". The owner of the back, Ye Wen, has never had the leisure of a bystander. He just lives his life seriously and lives in his own spiritual world. The bigger the gap between reality and spirit, the less able he will be able to come out of his spirit. . The noble and pure spirit is tolerance and humility, tenacity and perseverance, knowledge of male and female, and an adjective for everything bright and beautiful. Unfortunately, reality is intertwined with light and shadow. In the movie, Ye Wen is very soft-hearted, not easily annoyed, easily moved, and leaves three points for his subordinates. No matter how difficult it is, he takes responsibility for himself. You think that he is like water, soft to rigid, very principled, yet seems to have no principle at all. Ye Wen said that convincing others with strength is hegemony, and convincing others with virtue is benevolent. He is a benevolent person, and the benevolent loves others, but the world can only understand "hegemony". He respects life, he loves heaven and earth, and all living beings, but it is a pity that he does not belong to this era of power and justice. How much he loves, how much he does not miss.
The star of this play is Huang Qiusheng, I haven't seen his movies, but I knew as soon as he came out, this person has a star face. He's old, but a really good-looking guy, which is rare. It is easy for young people to look good, but if the elderly want to look good, they must have strong facial features. He has the softness of the East and the outline of an old British gentleman, which is somewhat similar to the popular "Criminal Minds" actor Mandy Partingan. His eyes are long and bright, with eyelashes like crow feathers, and he can easily express difficult emotions such as purity, innocence, melancholy and thoughtfulness as soon as the eyelids are down. To be honest, the script he received was mediocre, and the dubbing was so bad that people wanted to cry, but he just had the temperament of a master, what can you do? This drama is telling the story of a generation of masters. As long as he is a master and is telling a story, it will succeed more than half. Huang Qiusheng is a rare genius who can create a great character only by himself and not by the story. Even though I'm not an actor, I'm so jealous of such talent to the point of smoking.
A person who is like a master plays mortal jokes, or when a master lives a mortal life, there is a kind of shocking beauty. The tranquility and peace of the spiritual world permeated from every move, and the cumbersomeness of chai, rice, oil and salt was a kind of beauty in his hands. Every look in his eyes speaks of refinement. There is no doubt that Ye Wen's role should be vicissitudes, but Huang Qiusheng did not show the vicissitudes of a mountain or a rock, he was playing a piece of jade, beautiful and smooth. The film itself is supposed to shape beauty. There is one detail that shocked me: the singer Jenny was humiliated by the gangster, she launched the Dafa of "smearing your face", and it was a glass of wine when she went up. The two of them made a fuss. Jenny ran around the table and hid behind Ye Wen. The poor Ye Wen, who was caught between the two, was devastated by Chiyu, and was smashed by the little gangster. When the incident happened suddenly, Obama and Hillary, who had never learned martial arts, would hide subconsciously when their shoes were thrown. But Ye Wen didn't, he didn't even move, he just raised his forearm and palm to block it inwards, such blocking was ineffective. Then he dropped his elbows, lowered his eyes, frowned slightly, and slowly leaned towards the table. This detail is simply beautiful to the extreme. When his hands are taken out, they are naturally separated, and his slender fingers are slightly bent, and a sense of idleness is blowing on his face. His series of melancholy lazy movements clearly expressed boredom. He's not targeting this thing or this person, it's just his simple boredom that has settled down in his long life. He is a spiritual person, so he is out of tune with the real world. No matter how he pretends, he can't stop the exhaustion in his heart. This reluctance to block, as if to give someone face, or maybe he just subconsciously shows that he is also a normal person.
If Ip Man is younger, then he should say "Young people don't be so impulsive and speak slowly" after the first block, just like Ip Man 1 to Li Zhao; if Ip Man has a better dubbing , then he will reluctantly drag his voice and whisper, "Okay, enough", but the magnetism of these four words can kill a crowd in seconds. It's a pity that Huang Qiusheng's acting skills are superb, but he got a dubbing that can't keep up with his thoughts.
Ye Wen here has always lived in the martial arts spirit he built. He is benevolent, righteous, courteous, courteous and courteous. He is a person who truly understands love and respect. And reality is almost the opposite of his spirit. In order to survive, he had to betray his spirit in the real world, and he suppressed this betrayal to a minimum, so his standard of living was also suppressed to a minimum. Others saw him as poor and sad, but he did not fail to find some solace in this poverty. Others feel distressed when they see him sweating silently in the severe pain, but he doesn't hate the reality at the same time as he hates himself, and feels helpless and happy about this punishment. He was born, lived, lived, and died. Death is his end, and the death recognized by society is his account. He never showed any fear in the face of illness, danger, and death, nor did he show any nostalgia for the mortal world. This is his pride, his helplessness, and his romance.
If there is a plant named Ye Wen that can live without eating, drinking and shining in the sun, then he will be less helpless. It must be a tall sycamore or green bamboo. Huang Qiusheng's Ye Wen is a very beautiful person, no matter in face, temperament or story. He is pure in spirit, he is tired of reality, he knows love and respect, and he is powerful without needing. These things are things that mediocre mortals can't ask for, so I will cherish and appreciate them. At the end of the film, you can already smell the smell of death, but the audience can't feel the heart-piercing pain, and the weak Ip Man makes people feel relieved and happy. For the film's sake, the protagonist has played to this point, and it has been a day of life and death, with a strong sense of Zen, no matter how bad the story is, you can have no regrets.
PS: The five stars of this film are over, but the one star is not objective. In order to bring back a little score, I also scored a few more points for overcorrection.
As an aside, Huang Qiusheng looks a bit like Qian Xuesen. Qian Xuesen is a seemingly humble but arrogant person, with round cheeks and three-dimensional facial features. There are only a few movements in the documentary, but the master's calmness blows towards him. He is doing century projects, but the words in his pen are beautiful and slender; he has his own country in his chest, and the scientific research strategy must be a hundred years old, but the pictures are all smiles and crooked eyes. Chinese people pay attention to the principle of all things, perhaps whether it is literature or martial arts, as long as you understand the "Tao" in it, you will become a generation of masters.
