The Eight Heavenly Dragons, human and non-human, are all distantly seeing their dragon lady become a Buddha.
Yu Rongguang's version of Tianlong Baobei, which I've heard about since a few years ago, was finally released a few days ago.
As an unprofessional martial arts fan and amateur-level researcher of Jin Yong's works, Immortal held back from watching it for several days.
As for the reason!
It's also very simple: since I know there may be Xiang, I'll ask all the leaders to taste it first, so what's the harm?
Speaking of Mr. Yu Rongguang, I've always been interested in the words on his clothes when he was playing Simon the Snow Blower.
See?
"Zen"!
"Fixed mind"!
Although there is "color" in the crotch, keep it low key, roll up your head, and don't make it easy to see through ......
Seriously.
Jin Yong martial arts drama has been remade in the past few years, the word of mouth has also been in the "street".
Take last year's new movie "The Journey of the Deer and the Tripod" for example!
A few dozen episodes of the show down, so how many people on the spot shouted to buy a watch?
Even the first half of this year, the new film adaptation of Jin Yong's work is the same result: this side of the release, the other side of the scolding; scolding while watching, fresh and natural ......
This phenomenon has almost become the law of the past few years of film and television adaptation of Jin Yong's work: the audience can not help but scolding, scolding and can not help but watch.
In the end, it is often the new drama cursed, and then began to the old version of the collective nostalgia.
From the point of view of the new "Dragon 8" new slots on the network so far, the TV series is already on the "right track": the scolding is the heat, and when people do not even want to scold, it will be "
This is the first time I've ever seen a movie like this, and I've never seen a movie like this.
But honestly, the immortal himself for Mr. Rongguang this version of "Tianlong Bawu", in fact, the heart still have a little bit of expectation, no matter how much they want to see it with their own eyes.
Why?
Although a few years ago, Mr. Yu Rongguang was criticized on the Internet because of his "fighting spirit to make a horse".
But I've always felt that his martial arts dramas are still worth watching.
Because director Yu was at least active in the era of Hong Kong's action movies, he has worked with several familiar martial arts movie stars, such as Jet Li and Donnie Yen.
In the old movie "Letter to Dad", director Yu used to fight passionately with Jet Li, in "Young Wong Fei Hung's Iron Horse", he used to be in love with Donnie Yen, and even in "The East is Undefeatable", he had a scene with Brigitte Lin.
These movies that year box office how immortal do not know, but the martial arts effect is absolutely all just.
Especially in the "Letter to Dad", the evil and impetuous director Yu, but even Jet Li have "beat"!
What's the biggest problem with remakes of martial arts dramas these days?
At least, I personally believe that the effect of martial arts is too weak to be a major cause.
The so-called "wuxia" is originally based on the "martial arts" as the biggest point of view.
Sweat fighting scenes, absolutely "martial arts this theme is one of the indispensable elements of the soul.
Yu Rongguang, as someone who has experienced the glory days of Hong Kong's action movies, is someone who has actually seen a pig walk and eaten pork.
In today's film industry, if there is anyone who can revitalize the martial arts genre, director Yu is definitely one of the most promising candidates!
As long as director Yu is willing to talk about the virtues of martial arts, do not go to cheat, to sneak attack, the TV set in front of the dozens of years of those old fans of martial arts, the probability that he can make a can make a refreshing "Tianlong Bajie".
However, with considerable expectations of the immortal, soon experienced what is called "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment"!
Let's not talk about the opening scene where the hero saves a child from the plot to the slow-motion martial arts scene.
The first episode of the main event, "North Qiaofeng, South Murong" top showdown this martial arts, is a ghost?
Higher hands dueling afraid to touch each other a sweat hair, one is 50 cents of special effects, another long fist in an action are playing clumsy ......
Please! I'm not going to be able to get a good look at this, but I'm going to be able to get a good look at this! I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said.
Look at the performance of the non-professional actors!
What do you mean by "great"?
What do you mean by "wonderful"?
Although they are not professional actors, but an "old woman pushing a cart" to make a move, the back of the three up to play "cloud cover", down to play "old tree roots", the best thing is that the back of a reversed "old tree roots", and then the "old tree roots". The best thing is that there is also a reverse "Guanyin sitting lotus" in the back!
What do you mean by cooperation?
What's a match?
And what about the new Dragon 8?
Said to be a martial arts competition, the two people do not even touch each other's hair, and there with the square dance like a woman each dancing their own ......
Honestly, I am really curious! How did the actors manage not to feel awkward when they were filming?
Recently, people have been saying that the martial arts genre is outdated and no one likes it anymore.
This kind of talk has always struck us as absurd!
Like Ma Xguo, Yan Xfang and others, there is still room for the "big wet" born of the sins of martial arts novels, so how can martial arts themes be outdated?
What's more, the new school of martial arts novels often include traditional cultural elements such as medicine, divination, astrology, and painting and calligraphy, so how can it be outdated?
You can't blame the Earth for being unattractive when you can't take a dump, and you can't blame the subject matter when you can't make a good movie.
Objectively speaking, the martial arts genre still has great potential in China, and even in the world's movie and TV industry!
It's just that the current movie industry is so substandard that it can only serve up "golden rice bowls" to beg for food!
If you don't believe me, take a look at director Yu's "Dragon 8" martial arts fight and Yan X Fang's fight with his disciple, which one looks more like a professional actor's performance?
That's a duh!
So many people try to bring the "magic" into real life, trying to prove that they are the protagonists of the martial arts novels.
In terms of techniques, there are countless "secret books" such as "Bird not fly" and "Lightning five whip".
Social activities, the various schools of "master" almost rotten street, a single inconspicuous Qingcheng school, there are two masters "blossom"!
The style of martial arts is so prosperous in society that it is common to see various "warriors" on short video platforms.
The most amazing thing is that those non-film and television professional "warrior" short video works, do out often than professional film and television team to do out more wonderful good-looking ......
Do not ask for too much.
If Yu guide this "Dragon 8" special effects, can do with the above picture about the same level, there will be so many people chasing after scolding?
Wuxia drama, should be a bit of wuxia drama look!
Whether it is a "flowery" set of exercises "dance fight", or fist to the flesh of the passion of the fight, in fact, the performance is the beauty of the fight, the masculinity of the spike.
Like the new "Dragon 8", this is not slow, slow motion, dispensable special effects
Even if I really want to praise the effect of martial arts, but who can tell me where to start to praise it?
In fact, it's not appropriate to blame the director for all of this.
My disappointment with Lao Yu is mainly due to the fact that he has gone with the flow, and has the strength and credentials to create his own piece of heaven, but he has come up with such a tacky and effeminate thing.
In the immortal heart there has always been a question: male compatriots, how long have you not seen the domestic drama?
Because in the circle of friends I know, boys watching Chinese drama is really very little, most of them are watching foreign films and TV dramas, because they think that Chinese drama is "boring", and it's more or less the same for girls and children to see. ......
Honestly, I don't personally like watching TV dramas. I personally don't like watching TV dramas because most of the time I'd rather read original novels. Because I personally feel that novels are easier to understand and easier and faster to read.
I only watch dramas when I feel a bit tired of reading books.
But even so, I can feel the trend of Chinese dramas becoming more and more girly in the past few years.
I don't know if you've noticed.
Nowadays, it has become a common phenomenon to see male characters in movies and TV dramas with greasy hair and powdered faces.
Even in many movies and TV dramas, the male characters' skin is more elastic than the women's, and some of them can obviously see that they have applied lipstick ......
The masculine beauty of men's ruggedness has almost disappeared in today's movies and TV dramas.
Even the basic masculinity is gone, so what's the point of making a fast and furious martial arts drama?
Wuxia was originally a Chinese specialty, and martial arts is our national treasure.
But now we might as well think back to ourselves, in recent years the movie and TV drama can make you feel the blood of the martial arts scene, there are still a few of our own shot out?
In an era where the entertainment industry has been repeatedly exposed to "sky-high film prices" and theater crews have been exposed to "road closures", what we see are piles and piles of cultural garbage!
Where did it all go wrong?
At the very least, Immortal thinks it's time for the bigwigs in show business to reflect on this.
We have martial arts, we have martial arts, but we can't make good martial arts works.
It's rumored online that a British film company has already bought the rights to "The Legend of the Eagle Shooting Heroes" and is preparing to make a TV series.
It would be just as well if they messed up.
But if they do, what are we going to do?
