(in traditional Chinese operas) military acrobatic play
The first martial arts film directed by Chen Kexin will land in major theaters all over the country on July 4th. As a new genre of "changing martial arts", Chen Kexin has made great efforts to turn it into his own "author film". In fact, "Martial Arts" also made Chen Kexin get his wish to a certain extent. Not only did he have unique ideas about martial arts, but he also had a literary style that he was always good at, not to mention the martial arts scenes arranged by Donnie Yen, which made the film show the appearance of "both civil and military" and keep pace with each other.
Text attack — — Martial arts is a style.
One: "Warm Man" who goes home for dinner.
Martial arts are mostly loners, completely suppressing their emotions, being misunderstood and hated, and losing their feelings. Eventually, they have to fight bloody battles to clear their grievances, and there is no "good end".
However, Chen Kexin is a filmmaker who is good at "literature and art" after all. Therefore, in "Martial Arts", he can feel the humanistic atmosphere and warmth of his sustenance: after Tang Long’s pseudonym "Liu Jinxi", the most peaceful and warm scene of the family is to eat around the table and have different topics; In the face of Xu Baijiu’s intrusion and tracing, the uninvited dinner party, in the hot pot table, did the opposite. Even if he can’t escape the death battle, Liu Jinxi still has to face the enemy at the dinner table where the chopsticks are set … …
"Martial Arts" is by no means a lonely hero of Zhang Che, an extraordinary gentleman of Hu Jinquan, a wandering swordsman of Wong Kar-wai, or a chivalrous man of Tsui Hark’s country. It only represents the Jianghu in Chen Kexin’s eyes.
Two: the thrilling suspense is interlocking.
"Martial Arts" set a suspense from beginning to end: Who is Liu Jinxi? When he let his wife not ask about her life experience for ten years, but also let the whole village be regarded as a "hero" because of her achievements, once her image suddenly changes, it will undoubtedly be full of shocking drama!
Chen Kexin throws out the martial arts proposition in his mind: good and evil can’t be judged by superficial behavior alone! The mystery caused by identity is interlocking and full of twists and turns — — There was no flaw in the murder case, but Xu Baijiu found another truth and "stripped the cocoon" of Liu Jinxi; In the process of being suspicious, Xu Baijiu could not uncover the secret hidden by Liu Jinxi; When his evidence is gradually sufficient, he has to face Liu Jinxi alone, and the worry of "fatal disaster" arises suddenly; After the truth came out, the relationship between them also went to another point … … It was not until the end that everything subsided.
How many suspense is caused by Liu Jinxi? What does each suspense have to do with it? It is not only the key for the plot to advance, but also the "mystery" for the audience to guess in "Martial Arts" by Chen Kexin.
Three: the clues of detectives in the Republic of China
Martial arts rivers and lakes are full of blood and intrigue, but it is often the chivalrous man himself who is involved in it. In order to prove his innocence, it is difficult to get rid of the stereotype of "first person".
"Martial Arts" takes seemingly unrelated "external forces" as a guide, gradually restores clues and brings the story to another level. Xu Baijiu is just like this, and his means of changing the situation is not "invasion", but to reproduce the case process by logical reasoning, just like "Sherlock Holmes" or "Conan" in the early Republic of China; In addition, Xu Baijiu’s reasoning process is not a passing one, but rather rational and orderly, so when the truth of the incident is revealed, it will be more convincing to the audience.
咑: Wang Yu returns to domineering.
"Martial Arts" especially makes the audience’s feelings germinate. Undoubtedly, Wang Yu is the leader who returned to the rivers and lakes and performed the "Seventy-two Dungeons".
Time flies, and the "lonely hero" in the era of "The Assassin" has been completely replaced by the spirit of evil tyrants, but it is even more remarkable — — When Tang Long’s face roars, it is enough to shock people’s hearts; The hierarch’s behavior hides the dagger in his heart, more like the chivalrous man in Zhang Che’s works, full of "intermittent shocks and emotional inputs that are rather strangely suppressed and strangely vented". Therefore, an aggressive table game between Tang Long and the hierarch, the latter’s aura is beyond the former!
Aside from the climax of martial arts, Wang Yu’s "Martial Arts" has become unique in numerous literary dramas, not to mention that his acting skills and momentum still have the courage to lose those years, as Chen Kexin said: "Martial arts can be a name, such as Wang Yu."
Wu Wei — — dont believe your eyes
One: The process of "micro-martial arts" is clear
The "micro-martial arts" advertised in "Martial Arts" can be especially reflected in martial arts: as a master of kung fu, he is not fighting indiscriminately, but aiming at the "target" and accurately hitting the deadly nerve or acupoint of his opponent, causing the illusion of "accidental injury" and hiding the sky.
This concept is unknown in traditional martial arts films, and it is more equivalent to embedding the subjective perspective of medical science and education programs into action scenes. Therefore, at the moment when one side punches the other side in each fight, the whole process of changes in the body parts after being hit by the body surface parts is clearly presented, which has become the most attractive place in martial arts.
Two generations of "One-armed Knife" Armageddon
The audience who have a soft spot for martial arts films will definitely remember the "one-armed knife" and the invulnerable "golden bell jar". Now Chen Kexin has followed the classic in "Martial Arts" and let Tang Long and the leader stage a good show of "one-armed knife against the golden bell jar". They even changed their moves frequently under their own stunts, and they fought upside down from downstairs to upstairs, which was very fierce.
Three: Zhen style martial arts is the best in recent years.
In recent years, Donnie Yen has served as a martial arts instructor in several films starring in the main role, and his level is also high and low. However, his performance in "Martial Arts" this time has been hailed as "the most wonderful one since".
Compared with before, Donnie Yen’s martial arts action designed for "Martial Arts" has become more free and powerful, and it is natural to fight like a tiger. Especially in the first world war with the Kara Wai bullpen, the two men chased and hit the ground from the roof, and they kept tumbling and dodging in a narrow space, which was quite wonderful, and the effect would never lose the climax war. At the same time, it once again proved that Donnie Yen’s martial arts skill was breaking through day by day, and even if he was out of fashion action, he could create a beautiful sentence that catered to his personal characteristics.
Four: Action repetition has its own merits.
In traditional martial arts films, even if the martial arts scene is hysterical again, it is often only enough to fight for one round. However, in "Martial Arts", a fight between Liu Jinxi and two swordsmen’s warehouses is staged twice in a "reorganization" way. In the eyes of the audience, this move can undoubtedly appreciate two different styles of martial arts, and Donnie Yen is equally carefree through the treatment of "weak" and "strong" States.
Wu: The bloody "broken arm" is shocking.
Since I pay tribute to Zhang Che, the martial arts in Martial Arts is not gentle, but intuitive and bloody: not only are there scenes that make the audience uneasy, such as killing the door in the slaughterhouse, punching and kicking, but Tang Long is more like the one-armed knife that broke his arm in full view. If it is not shocking, you can experience it for yourself after it is released.
