But he has never had a starring movie that he can show, that is, he has not made a famous movie. As an action star, this is fatal.
What is a famous work that has a big reputation, and its influence is added to the screen. For example, Ip Man, for example, the police story series, for example, the Once Upon a Time series.
Besides Wu Jing, I'm not a fan of him. I wasn't before watching Wolf Warriors, and I'm still not after watching it.
His movies, I have seen wolf teeth, the action is clean and neat, enjoyable, but the story is almost. The director's camera and rhythm are a little slower, making it look like an action movie mixed with artistic flavor. The most literary action movie I've ever seen is the hero of Zhang Yimou. Too literary and artistic, and the soul of the action movie has been dissipated, leaving only a shell that looks full of literary and artistic, not good, too much.
The most harmonious of Chinese art and action in action films is John Woo. If shootout films are also kung fu films, the shell of John Woo's films is quite good.
Back to the action, I thought the most classic action scene in Wu Jing's movie was the scene between Killing the Wolf and Donnie Yen. The collision of two neat action stars was really exciting.
Wolf Warrior, there are too many slogans. I don't like this one. I don't know when it will start. Chinese action movies like to start shouting slogans. The same as three bottles of Erguotou. What's more, I can't drink.
This slogan is very pleasing, many people like it, and many people hate it. Brainwashing is feeling.
Leng Feng is an excellent sniper. Except for the beginning, he has never used sniper skills, except for the 2.3 and 2.5. I like this very much. I think most people will be very unhappy. If a sniper only uses the first commander If the gun can kill the sniper on the opposite side, even if it is a close combat, the screenwriter gives me the feeling that he should be a very detached and arrogant person. I like this kind of detachment.
The best acting in the whole movie is Yu Nan, who is still dying, and the taste in memory.
Cobain background, after all, is different.
Wolf Warrior also has a common problem, that is, the supporting roles are too vague. This is a common problem in Chinese movies, except for movies with multiple protagonists, such as Xu Zheng's Tai 囧.
When the soldier with a two-year-old daughter died, Wu Jing was really sad and angry, but the audience had no impression of the soldier at all, except for the old joke called Dad. It's easy for the audience to play, who should be playing with their mobile phones, and who should be doing what they should be doing.
There is also the anti-No. 1. I am not talking about Ni Dahong, but the bearded mercenary starring a foreign friend. This point is a very failure.
What he said in the last fight with Wu Jing, I always thought that he was a soldier who was betrayed and abandoned by his own country.
But no, you can arrange three memories of your father, and you can give this friend a little background.
Soldiers who fought for the country and were betrayed by the country, degenerated from soldiers who fought for the country to mercenaries who fought for themselves, give him a sad past, let him also recall the scene of being betrayed, and let the audience feel that the world does not It's not so malicious, and the lines are easy to play. It's just that I saw my shadow in you. The me ten years ago, I used to be like you, thinking that soldiers fighting for the country is my belief, and I think obedience It is his duty to give orders, and he thinks it is his honor to kill the enemy for his country on the battlefield. you are wrong!
The screenwriter can imagine and have space to give this friend a bit of a sad past, creating this atmosphere from the beginning, and finally, the battle between the two heroes, the war of faith and faith, and finally, let Wu Jing teach him to be a qualified soldier in minutes .
In the end, Wu Jing captured him alive. In the end, the foreign friend finally came to his senses, grabbed a pistol on the ground, got a chance to commit suicide, and then said affectionately to Wu Jing, you are right, soldiers should obey orders and protect the family and the country. However, soldiers are also proud of dying in battle, thank you, bang!
The audience grieved.
There is no absolute bad person in this world, and there is no absolute good person. The good people in the world will also have the possibility and the way to become bad guys. Most Chinese movies are absolutely bad people and absolutely good people. Absolutely bad people have no kindness in their hearts.
This is a disease that needs to be cured!
