recently revisited "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" in 2000 and expressed a lot of emotion. That was the starting point of my personal impression of Chen Kun, and it happened that Zhou Xun, who was a literary and artistic student of that year, is a golden boy and a jade girl. Today, I am in the old demon Tsui Hark. Take it down, there is a different scene. The importance of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" to Tsui Hark is not the milestone of Chinese 3D movies, but the definition of the highest standard of Chinese martial arts films so far. The story and fetters of the original work continue here, which is a wish; the characters who can't be added to the original classic are most likely to fall into repetition, but they can still be reversed in their identities and their personalities have also undergone subtle changes. Use Gui Lunmei to have its unruly and willful side, and the naughty Fanbang shape is more sculpted. Li Yuchun was no longer good at martial arts, so he chose coarse clothes and sackcloth instead of his armor, and his face covered with a hat had the charm of Ning Caichen. But the most unexpected thing is still Chen Kun. On the one hand, Yu Huatian, the governor of the West Factory, is sullen and calm, and his murderous aura is murderous. In the vast desert, the wind, sand, smoke and waves are engrossing in the distance. Coming out of the liar of the rivers and lakes, the comical appearance of weak swords and jokes is familiar with ease.
[Farewell in ten years, the role stands up] When it comes
to Chen Kun, I have to mention Rong Xinda. "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" and "Farewell, Vancouver", at that time Chen Kun's melancholy little boy's potential was handed over to Zhao Baogang, so all the similar characters in the paintings of other directors were unrivaled. In 2008, "Old Dreams" was the acme of Kuo Shao, which was more energetic and focused than "Golden Fen Family". Rong Xinda's ten years has paved the way for TV dramas and opened the door to movies. Chen Kun passed through works such as "Golden Fen Family" and "Painted Skin". He did not rely on scandals alone. He went from a taciturn teenager in the film school to riding alone today. He relies on diligence and strength, and talks about love and gratitude. After leaving Rong Xinda after the appointment, he left behind an artist training model that can be successful without hype, and even more affectionate with Li Xiaowan and others like a family.
In the first ten years of his debut as an artist, Chen Kun's wrist seems to rely on downright literary temperament, such as "Balzac and the Little Tailor" and "Yun Shui Ballad", but when he was a student, he participated in "National Anthem", with Nie Er A corner was officially unveiled, and until 2009, when "The Great Cause of Founding a People's Republic of China" starred in Chiang Ching-kuo, even the role type also went around in circles. Later, Zhou Enlai, a young man in "Party Founding", gave Chen Kun a lot of confidence, and he was invited by the crew of "Qian Xuesen". In recent years, Chen Kun's roles in movies have changed a lot, ranging from ancient costumes to chronological biographies.
[Both righteous and evil, slaughtering Qunfang]
When it comes to martial arts, we still have to look at Tsui Hark, which makes no sense. While everyone is still learning nostalgia from the old classics of "New Dragon Inn" and "Swordsman", Chen Kun has already gone so far on the road of creating a character who can't eat human fireworks. In addition to being surprised, I also feel that the master's ability to guess people is more like "understanding" than "guessing". Some people say that Yuhuatian, the demon of the West Factory in Tsui Hark's paintings, is "seven percent demonic and three percent immortal bone", but there are traces to follow - the attendant cat walks slowly, his cloak swept past, and his man disappeared under his cloak. In the folds; it is like the sand in the desert calmly, without frowning or laughing, only with a flick of the palm of the hand, the sharp blade instantly cracks and turns into a flying dagger. Tsui Hark is good at digging, and it's easy to tell dramas. Chen Kun must have worked hard to play a live role. It is common practice to apply makeup and powder since entering the crew. For the mysterious Yu Huatian, it is very important to capture the audience from the outside. Domineering needs to be suppressed. The tone is feminine and ghostly. The roles of Chen Kun are the most chewy.
There are many Tsui Hark movies, Maggie Cheung, Wang Zuxian, Brigitte Lin, Guan Zhilin, which one is not Ban Ji's posture of continuing history, Xie Ting's attitude of singing snow, or empty valley orchid or green leaf drunk peach, or picturesque or peerless, there is no performance. The amazingness cannot be copied, and the audience has no impression of the characters before and after. It is common to see women in Tsui Hark movies, but there are several famous men in the world? Except for Huang Feihong, I am afraid that Chen Kun in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is an outlier. One person plays two roles, one second is the wind in the knife, the next second is the rain and the field, this kind of attempt must be enjoyable, and the naughty style is not a problem. Outside the inn, Chen Kunfang or Fengli Dao and Zhao Huai'an (played by Jet Li) are close to each other. They are short and dangerous, but they are full of humor and fun. It's interesting how it is played. The two characters have different temperaments, different personalities, and different stances. Their roles in the film are also very different. A Chen Kun has many aspects, and it is rare to have a good character.
——————————————
The 8-month retreat for "Flying Armored Dragon Gate" is still stressful for Chen Kun's studio, but it is still worth it for a good role and a good work, let's look at it now Chen Kun's efforts paid off gratifyingly. Since Dongshen Tonghua launched a series of public welfare projects "The Power of Walking", the concept of walking as a way of life has been placed in a series of hiking activities, and the picture records have achieved remarkable results. In terms of casting, Chen Kun has a clear direction in the past two years. A series of attempts at non-fiction characters have allowed him to enter into his heart while developing the characters, and find the source of the play core in the material of real characters, thus avoiding the immutability. Decline, it is also easier to draw vitality from the real experience of the character. This is what a filmmaker should be doing when he acts in a biographical film. Traveling through the coordinates of one-way progression in time helps the actor to perceive the depth of drama and even life, and the intellectual taste is therefore different.
Chen Kun has made several appointments with the master at the premiere of "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate". It can be seen that this cooperation is indeed deeply felt, but more importantly, you can see his efforts. The direction of his efforts is even more sigh- — An actor should have done so. The actors used in the film also have real temperament and sincere emotion. After more than ten years, Chen Kun has not personally practiced the "power of walking", and the dialectics of hard work and success or failure is a footnote.
