Now there is a war of words between Gu Xiaobai and Donnie Yen fans on the Internet. I stand on Gu Xiaobai's side. He is an honest man. When watching a movie, he watches all of it. If he is not good, he will scold him. If he wants to scold him, he will scold him happily. In fact, after watching "Dragon Tiger Gate", my first thought was that the film was somewhat out of control. In the division of labor between the director and the action director, Weixin Ye was obviously not able to gain enough advantage - you can see from the opening subtitles that Donnie Yen is the executive producer. . No matter how much he can fight, he is still a walking warrior.
Even if "literary opera" and "martial arts" are considered separately, is "martial arts" really full marks? not necessarily. After the six fights, I only remember one Japanese restaurant (this one is indeed a genius work in restoring the sense of comics, although its own creativity and lens movement method are still the same as Neo Dan of "The Matrix" Pick a hundred Smith, "Kung Fu" Zhou Xingchi fights the Axe Gang), and the rest feel nothing. Gu Xiaobai's critique of Donnie Yen's point of view that he "just wants to play well" is actually well-intentioned. No performance, no story, no atmosphere, no emotion, no imagination, Zhen Shi's unique and exclusive technical skills will be difficult to support, and will eventually end up in a formless and godless end. It has no form and no spirit, and even the violent pleasure for people to vent cannot be concocted, let alone the way of martial arts and the righteousness of chivalry! All of them are cool enough POSEs!
Finally, I have to congratulate. I just learned that the current Hong Kong box office of "Dragon Tiger Gate" has beaten Disney's "Monster House" and Warner's "Superman", and topped the list with 7.05 million Hong Kong dollars on the 5th. However, when the relevant personnel opened the bottle of Zhiqing, they must remember Chen Kaige's lesson from the past - since a "Wuji" can set a record at the box office at the same time, in one fell swoop, director Chen Da has worked hard for many years, relying on "Yellow Earth" and "Walking while walking". The reputation and market trust accumulated by masterpieces such as "Sing" and "Farewell My Concubine" were completely destroyed. At the same time that "Dragon Tiger Gate" received a big box office, it is also possible to cut down the banner that "Slaying the Wolf" finally raised. Let the bitter retribution fall on the next film work. At least for me, the duo of Ye Weixin and Donnie Yen have lost their credibility.
