Xie Miao used to be the most dazzling child star in kung fu movies
In 1993, Wang Jing started filming "New Shaolin Fifth Ancestor". In the movie, a few children who know martial arts were needed. After Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple" fire, Hong Kong crews basically came to the mainland. The school selected people, so Xie Miao, who was still in a martial arts class at the age of 9, was selected by Wang Jing and appointed him to play Hong Wending, the son of Hong Xiguan in Jet Li's version.
did not expect this performance to be a big success. At that time, Xie Miao was very cute. Even Wang Jing specially tailored Xie Miao's "Little Panther", Wang Jing's pinnacle gambling film "God of Gamblers 2" also has Xie Miao's share. In 1995, he cooperated with Jet Li again in "Letter to Dad", and the strong and strong martial arts of the little ghost gained the hearts of countless aunt fans
. It can be said that Xie Miao is the most recognized "son" of Jet Li in the movie, under Jet Li's halo After growing up, Xie Miao’s movie road was not smooth. What’s interesting is that while Xie Miao was not popular in traditional movies, he was also very popular in another big online movie.
Recently Xie Miao starred in "The Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin Temple". "Broadcast, and soon boarded the top of the online movie box office, with a box office of 3.89 million in 2 days. Don’t underestimate this result. It is considered top-notch in the big online movies. After all, people have already sold the copyright, coupled with the box office income, and the low cost is destined to make a lot of "Shaolin Temple Eighteen Arhats"
But to be honest Perhaps it is limited by cost. This movie was generally shot in the 33rd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. Japanese pirates were rampant in coastal areas. This is the background of the story.
Xie Miao played the Wujue monk, a leader of the Shaolin monks, with extremely high martial arts and Buddhist accomplishments. The beginning of the chapter is that the brothers are fighting. What is interesting is that the bet between Wujue and the brother turned out to be roast chicken. "The Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin Temple" has been authorized by the Shaolin Temple. It seems that it is true that monks can eat meat.
In 1982, Jet Li became famous with "Shaolin Temple". In the movie Jet Li is Jue Yuan, and the adapted story is the rescue of the monk with thirteen sticks. Tang Wang. It is quite similar to the "Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin Temple"
The imperial court passed the decree and asked Shaolin Temple to send monks to teach the Ming army to practice martial arts to resist the Japanese pirates. The court was very stingy, and only gave eighteen horses and eighteen robes. So the abbot selected eighteen monks headed by Wu Jue to go down the mountain!
The big villain in the film is the Japanese pirate General Konishito. He also has a twin brother, the Major General, who is arrogant and domineering.
Realize that the monks are going to Feiyu Pass to teach the Ming army Shaolin martial arts there. On the road, I met this major general chasing and killing the people. The Shaolin monks defeated the Japanese pirates, but Wujue believed that the Buddhists did not kill and asked the juniors to only repel the Japanese pirates. However, the major Japanese general was still provoking, and he was beaten to death by monk Wuzheng who had a distinct love and hatred.
There is a very interesting stalk in the movie. There is a female ninja named Huowu under the general, and the male leader is Ichiro Miyamoto
When Gomasa was five years old, his family was attacked by Japanese pirates and his parents and sisters died. He worked hard to learn martial arts, so that that day
still insisted on not killing. They took the people back to Feiyu Pass, where there were many refugees, but the Ming army defenders at Feiyu Pass had long since fled. Without a trace. The monks have thought about returning to Shaolin. Shaolin monks and soldiers are both monks and soldiers. It is their responsibility to defend their homes and countries.
With the help of the fugitive Ming army general Cao, the eighteen stick monks decided to stay and fight against General Konishito
. In the end, the eighteen stick monks including Enlightenment fought bloody battle against the 130-man general Konishito. Only one younger brother survived. But the people were saved. The story of
is very simple and clear, and even the death and injury of the eighteen stick monks can be guessed. But the action design and the atmosphere creation of the movie are worthy of recognition, especially the actor Du Guanjun, who played the role of the Japanese general and the major general. Although he is not well-known, he plays two roles, which brings the stupid brother and the cruel brother to life. The shortcomings of the
movie is also obvious,
may be the production cost is too lowThe scenes of the movie are so simple and unreasonable. According to common sense, Feiyu Pass, a military important place, must have a tall city, but the Feiyu Pass in the film is a small village that was built temporarily.
and the fighting scenes in the film can’t be said to be bad, but fighting
Japanese pirates is not a gang fight, the war scenes are really stingy. Moreover, the film also exaggerated the fighting ability of Japanese pirates. Less than a hundred men could defeat the regular army of the Ming Dynasty and scared away the defenders of important military bases. Although I can understand that the director is to highlight the heroism of the eighteen stick monks, but he too underestimated the Ming army
After the whole movie, there was no trace of the Ming army. In fact, in history, Japanese pirates were gangsters who ran everywhere to rob, and the regular army could not beat it or catch up. In the movie, there are ronin camps among the Japanese pirates, and the ninja troops, especially the ninja's rather magical combat method, are incompatible with a kung fu film adapted from real history.
Generally speaking, "The Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin Temple" is a vigorous action movie, but it is a pity that many
talk about Xie Miao. The enlightenment played by Xie Miao in the film was very pedantic at first, and he wanted to teach those Japanese pirates. In the decisive battle, I finally realized that the Buddhist school does not kill, but the Buddhist school wants to cast down demons. The Japanese pirates are demons, and they should be saved. This role is actually very malleable, but Xie Miao has a face-like face and a face of righteousness, without the sense of struggle to perform
This year’s 35-year-old Xie Miao is really well-known in the online movie circle.
may have grown up. It’s not cute anymore. Xie Miao has had a hard time walking these years. After graduating from university, most of the film and television dramas he starred in were dismal. And they are all small supporting roles. Some time ago, he starred in the theater movie "Blood Battle of Ao Lun Prague", with a box office of only 160,000. The representative of typical child stars,
, has entered the Internet big movies in recent years, the "Thirteen Generals of the Han" series, the "Fang Shiyu" series, and the "Xin Qiji 1162" that has gained a lot of praise, and the box office on the Internet is very good. There is a faint tendency for Internet movie kung fu stars to carry the handle. In the case of traditional cinema movies that have not existed, Xie Miao’s approach is not unreasonable
and even we can see Zhao Wenzhuo, who has become famous. Since 2018, he has been in contact with Internet movies frequently. The two "Huang Feihong" have won a lot of attention. Of course, as a fan of kung fu movies, I still hope that they can make well-made blockbusters. The 35-year-old Xie Miao can also make more precipitation
