has a domestic genre that is slowly disappearing on the big screen - martial arts films.
Once upon a time, domestic martial arts films were popular all over the world, and countless classics in history were born.
It's a pity that the glory of martial arts is long gone, and the more embarrassing fact is that no one makes martial arts films anymore.
Looking at the blockbuster movies in recent years, there are almost no martial arts movies. On the contrary,
is in the field of the Internet, but martial arts films have found a place. Although the production cost is low, it is better than the solid script and the wonderful martial arts.
released "Defiant" not long ago, , Xie Miao and made the audience feel the long-lost hardcore martial arts with their wonderful performances.
did not expect that in the past 3 months, Xie Miao made another martial arts film.
was launched for only one day, and it overwhelmed all online universities in the same period, and quickly became the most popular movie in the whole network.
and the rating website gave it a score of 6.9, which does not seem to be too high, but it is definitely a high reputation in the ranks of online big movies. The most important thing about
is that the production team of "Crazy Tiger Dangerous City" is the original team of "Defiant". The screenwriter of
is "Defiant" director Yang Bingjia , whose masterpieces "Qimen Dunjia" and " Northeast Police Story ". The starring role of
is Xie Miao, a kung fu child star. He went to Hong Kong when he was a child and starred in two films " New Shaolin Five Ancestors " and " Letter to Dad ", which is considered to be the successor of Jet Li in the industry people.
With the development of online movies, Xie Miao has made his own way by virtue of his martial arts skills.
Although "Crazy Tiger in Dangerous City" is not a pure martial arts film, the movie inherits the genes and blood of martial arts very well. The story of
takes place in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. It is based on the historical background of disasters and eunuchs in southern China, and incorporates elements of disaster films.
The eunuch Pang Dezhong has power over the government and the public. In order to please him, there are warlocks who say that there is a secret recipe circulating among the people, using a living tiger to make alchemy, and then refining the tiger yuan golden elixir, so that the disabled can return to the sun.
This is great news for Pang Dezhong.
So he ordered his subordinates, Jin Yiwei, to set up a hunting ground in a small town on the southwestern border to capture and raise tigers.
However, over the years, the local tigers have contracted a strange disease, which has not only become extremely vicious, but also invulnerable, killing many people.
Censor Yang learned about this and wrote to impeach Pang Dezhong, but unexpectedly he was killed.
In order to get rid of his own thorns, Pang Dezhong sent Jin Yiwei to prepare to exterminate Lord Yang.
Zhang Liucheng (played by Xie Miao) used to be a soldier and made great military exploits, but was transferred to the imperial court as Jinyiwei .
In the face of this unsightly massacre, Zhang Liucheng was unwilling to become the eunuch's lackey. In the entire Yang residence, he was the only one who refused to draw his sword.
However, Jin Yiwei, who took the lead, watched him disobey the order and threatened him with a little girl.
may be to repay the benefactor Mr. Yang, perhaps because he has a chivalrous heart in his heart, Zhang Liucheng pulled out the embroidered spring knife .
Surrounded by Jin Yiwei, Zhang Liucheng was like a nobody.
In the rain, Zhang Liucheng's martial arts are gorgeous and elegant, and he can see blood with every move.
Wherever the Embroidered Spring Knife crossed, the enemy had no time to react and fell one after another.
That's it, Zhang Liucheng took care of all the Jinyiweis present, and took Yang Huan, the daughter of Lord Yang, out of the capital and ran away to his younger brother who lived in the border town.
In the film, Xie Miao plays two roles.
's younger brother Zhang Liuping is a hunter. When his elder brother came to him, he found that his younger brother had already died. After investigation,
found that one of the tigers raised by Pang Dezhong escapedIn the enclosure, he carried the mutated virus on his body, infecting hundreds of tigers.
This time, Zhang Liucheng not only has to face the pursuit of Jin Yiwei, but also leads the villagers to resist the vicious mutant tiger.
So a catastrophe is about to happen.
The whole story is divided into two story lines, light and dark.
The bright line is a battle of wits and courage between people and traitors. The dark line is that Zhang Liu becomes one party to eliminate the tiger's troubles and ensure the safety of the other party.
As the lines in the play say: "I thought tigers were monsters, but I didn't expect them to be!"
This time, Zhang Liucheng, played by Xie Miao, is a brave, courageous and resourceful chivalrous man. The fighting scenes in the
film are basically completed by Xie Miao himself, whether it is holding an embroidered spring knife to kill traitors, or eliminating tigers.
In one after another martial arts drama, the martial arts scenes with fists, fists, meat, and imposing manners, the movements are smooth and neat, and the film has a hearty look and feel.
is precisely because of his profound martial arts skills as a child and his rich performance experience over the years, which has made Xie Miao's own style of performance in martial arts action films.
In addition, the scenes and special effects design in the film are also the production level of the theater. In the
film, the tiger produced by special effects can be seen, whether it is the action or the plot, it is portrayed so vividly, as if it is real.
And with the progress of the plot, big scenes such as tiger siege, human-tiger battle, etc., are dizzying.
Of course, Wild Tiger City isn't without its flaws.
Compared with "Defiant", this movie still needs to be carefully crafted in terms of plot.
In fact, in the first half of the movie, the plot conflict of the story has already been explained. For the second half of the plot, there is a lack of some foreshadowing, which makes the transition a bit abrupt.
In general, "Crazy Tiger in Dangerous City" is still a remarkable martial arts film.
and as a large network, the length of the film is only more than 70 minutes. Due to the production cost and other reasons, there is still some gap between it and those classics.
But overall, under limited conditions, Xie Miao still produced a martial arts film that was above the passing line. Based on this alone,
is already much better than those pseudo-wuxia on the market.
