After several films in the Spring Festival file were withdrawn, the Valentine’s Day films could not be released as scheduled. Fortunately, "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" starring Donnie Yen was launched on the video website, and the audience could see the feature film while sitting on the sofa. The above is the best benefit for the Spring Festival holiday.
did not postpone the release but chose to broadcast it online, which made people doubt the quality of the film. However, after watching it, I found that "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" is a veritable New Year movie. It is enjoyable and happy, and it is a rare decompression blockbuster.
subverted his own Donnie Yen. After Ip Man played a novel
, there is no doubt that Donnie Yen is currently the action superstar carrying the banner of Kung Fu movies. As the male number one in "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", what the audience is most looking forward to is his actions.
Actually, Donnie Yen in recent years has made me a bit regretful. The "Ip Man" series is the benchmark of kung fu films, but it also brings constraints to Donnie Yen’s creation. Recalling the time when "Slaying the Wolf", "The Fuse", and the fashion action film Donnie Yen Good MMA burns more! Sending away "Ip Man 4" and then watching "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" will yield a lot of surprises. The fierce and eclectic Donnie Yen is back.
The director of "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" Kenji Tanigaki, as well as the action directors Yan Hua and Yu Kang all grew up in the "Zhen Family Class", and they have a tacit understanding of the cooperation with Donnie Yen over the years. Therefore, the filming of "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" Donnie Yen must have realized his various visions of action. There are several action highlights in the
movie, each of which is cleverly designed and innovative. The first scene of
is a street gangster who is not long after the beginning of the movie. Zhu Fulong, played by Donnie Yen, grabs the roof of the car, chases the car overturned, and fights close to a few robbers in a small space inside the car. The whole scene is very enjoyable. Seeing this, I am already looking forward to the next action scenes. After all, the first scene has already increased the difficulty factor to this much.
followed by the hot pot restaurant battle after Zhu Fulong arrived in Japan. The title of "Fatty Dragon" is just as the name suggests. In the movie, Donnie Yen turned himself into a 250-jin fat man. This is the first time Donnie Yen has tried to change his body shape in a movie. In this way, filming becomes difficult.
But the bigger challenge is that the action guide has to make him jump up and down, toss and move around the second-story attic of the hot pot restaurant, and circulate with the gangsters, once again staged the good show of "one hit ten", the difference is that in "Ip Man" is a stern Wing Chun technique, while in "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", the tricks and fun are played, which makes people happy to watch.
There is also a wonderful play in the fish market in Kabukicho. This scene made me sigh. The development of action movies to this day, the audience has long been dissatisfied with the traditional fist to the flesh, fighting each other for life, there must be fresh designs to make people satisfied. In this stage of play, Yen Zidan made full use of various materials in the fish market, used cardboard boxes and fish nets to fight the sickles in the hands of punks, and constantly staged difficult movements such as one-line horses and back somersaults.
Wang Jing, who has not acted for a long time, drove a forklift to cooperate with Donnie Yen. This humorous fighting style has really not appeared in the movie for a long time.
Of course, there is also the climax at the end. Donnie Yen and the big villain boss hit the Tokyo Tower. Donnie Yen pays tribute to Bruce Lee with a nunchaku, and fights with his opponents. The director Wang Jing of
still feels that he is not very enjoyable enough. He also mobilized a helicopter to make the movie full of entertainment and let the audience overwhelm the addiction of action movies.
Donnie Yen entrained private goods? Alluding to Wu Jing
, Wang Jing, who has been in the industry for more than 40 years, is very prolific, and the quality of his movies varies, but Wang Jing is definitely the most entertaining Hong Kong director. No one can deny it. At this point, I have high expectations for "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", but Wang Jing still surprised me. This time, Wang Jing used a different tone from "Chasing the Dragon", trying to be relaxed and funny. The seemingly lackluster plot is actually very successful from two perspectives.
First of all, "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" achieves that the plot and action complement each other, and the combination is very good. The problem that Hong Kong action movies are prone to is the disconnect between the action and the plot. This time Wang Jing evaded this. Zhu Fulong, played by Donnie Yen, went from Hong Kong to robbers to fight against gangsters in Japan and finally hit Tokyo Tower. No scene is played for the sake of fighting. Action scenes escalate again and again, and conflicts become more and more intense. Watching this action film that is almost played from beginning to end will not be aesthetically fatigued, but will continue to be interesting.
The second point is that Wang Jing has incorporated many humorous passages, and has a lot of refraction and ridicule of reality. For example, at the beginning of the movie, the actor played by Zhou Liqi was bullied on the set, and later by the "hidden rules" of the Japanese underworld, which can be seen as a satire of the chaos in the entertainment industry.
During the violent fight between Donnie Yen and the robbers, the two media not only entangled, but even handed hammers to the robbers. When watching this scene, he laughed and laughed. After watching it, he realized that it was his ridicule to the media.
In addition, Donnie Yen did not forget to entrain private goods in the movie. In the past two years, the rumors about him and Wu Jing fighting in "Destroy the Wolf" have been rampant. Many people accused Donnie Yen of beating Wu Jing with a real stick at the scene to clarify. Rumors, Yen Zidan went to the Tucao conference to refute the rumors again, originally this incident has been a long time ago.
But this time in "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", Donnie Yen again insinuates "Slaying the Wolf". In the movie, he turns the fragments of "Slaying the Wolf" into his memory of past missions, saying that he just took one. He violently beat the opponent with the broken baton and said that the opponent was a "martial arts champion golden retriever".
and the "Wu Jing" here is very useless. He stepped on a banana peel and slipped and never got up again. He was beaten by Donnie Yen. If he couldn't hold it, he asked for mercy and said, "You admit the wrong person, not me, I Not that." It can be said to be a mockery of Wu Jing.
"Fat Dragon Crossing the River" really gave me a lot of surprises and surprises. I was surprised at Wang Jing's funny and burdensome ability, and also surprised at Yen Zidan's replay of his MMA fighting characteristics, which made the audience addicted to action movies. In special times, everyone has to stay at home and isolate themselves. Under such circumstances, it is better to open Tencent Video and watch "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" to ensure that you will not be disappointed.
