After watching Tai Chi 1, I found that this is a kung fu action comedy with innovative sincerity. It is interspersed with animation pictures, scenes, and techniques, which pave the way for the second part, and lead to the heroic protagonists-weird, hero master --Chen's father and daughter, the big villain -- Fang Zijing and a large group of happy hero friends -- the fathers and villagers of Chenjiagou. The story structure is simple, that is, hero development, this is the first chapter/level of the anime and game routines. In the second part, the subtitle directly explains the main theme-the rise of the hero, the story is still simple, the hero is developed, of course, it is a contest with the bad guys who appear on the stage, and then after the wonderful fight, the bad guys are defeated, and the people from all walks of life are rescued. .
The story is the old-fashioned "justice will win" and "evil will be rewarded", but in my opinion, since it has been positioned as a commercial film from the beginning, why do you need a complicated story? As long as the story is smooth, the picture effects, fighting action design, laughter and tears are all there, and it can meet the requirements of commercial blockbusters. Look at those American hero comic blockbusters, isn't it the same concept? And the box office that has broken 100 million also proves the real commercial value.
Tai Chi is more in line with Chinese-style heroic commercial blockbusters. It uses a unique character in American comic blockbusters-the never-dying villain. Of course, here is the Fang Zijing played by Eddie Peng, who was bullied in the first film. The destruction of the ideal and the large toy Troy and the accidental death of his girlfriend created a generation of evil villains. The second part bears the pain of bereavement and the humiliation of bullying, vowing to seek justice, but was completely defeated by the hero and his wife, father-in-law and brother-in-law. When everyone thought that the villain would end the filming and collect flowers and go home, the end imprinted the deepest heroic blockbuster mark on the whole film-the villain was sent to the research department for upgrades, and if he was lucky enough to appear again in the future It is an upgraded version. Of course, I feel that this villain has not yet shown its true character and extremes, and still needs to be developed. When I think about when a villain similar to "Joker" can emerge in the film, I must be amazed.
Speaking of looking for Chinese-style heroic movie characters, I don’t think we need to rigidly pick and choose from the poor Chinese anime characters. --Kung Fu, and a whole bunch of stories and characters derived from it. If I were to choose China's "Avengers", my team members would include Yang Luchan, a geek with Tai Chi, Hong Qigong, who can subdue the dragon and eighteen palms, Zhang Wuji, who has learned the Great Movement of the Universe, and those who are proficient in life hunting and spells. Ulala also has Li Xunhuan who is good at using throwing knives.
The commercial films released recently seem to have some similarities - they all leave a foreshadowing at the end, and it is unknown whether there will be follow-up productions, but if there is, the story can continue to be compiled. Tai Chi 1 and 2, as well as Chill, are all examples of him staying on the front line today and seeing each other well. This kind of trick has long been nothing new in foreign blockbusters, but today, local commercial blockbusters have begun to expand and expand in this way. I am really looking forward to it.
