action movie is a kind of Hollywood genre, and the film typification is also the inevitable result of the development of the film industry. Hollywood genre films have had a big impact on the Chinese film market. When action movies are combined with Chinese local culture, there are genres with Chinese characteristics, and naturally they also have a certain effect in dealing with Hollywood movies. And when it comes to combining Chinese martial arts elements with movies, Jackie Chan's comedy action movies are of course. As a kind of commercial film, Jackie Chan's comedy kung fu film can stand firm in the tide of film business, and has a wide audience group, even going international, naturally, there is a reason.
First of all, he established his own unique style characteristics. As we all know, Jackie Chan's action movies are his own real kung fu. Whether it is a kung fu film before the 1980s, a police and criminal film in the late 1980s, or an action film that incorporates high-tech methods, he personally went into battle, and they were all improvisations. This is more clever and more random than American movies whose actions are arranged in advance. His unique martial arts routines and real fighting movements make it difficult for others to imitate and surpass.
In addition to the real martial arts action, he also has his own comic effect. In Jackie Chan's action movies, comedy and action are inseparable. He did not rely on the hard work of one enemy and one hundred to win, but on the combination of wisdom and action. When confronted with danger, he wisely responds. He does not fight from start to finish, but completes the fighting action in a way of playing while resting. In this way, he forms his own rhythm and does not allow the audience to have a long time of confrontation. A sense of exhaustion caused by sensory stimulation.
Secondly, in Jackie Chan's comedy action films, there is a kind of local cultural output, not all commercial elements. In movies, Jackie Chan is often a representative of justice, and justice will eventually defeat evil. This is a manifestation of the Chinese people's moral values. The image of "a good person" in his films also fits the mainstream thinking of today. More importantly, Jackie Chan's movies are based on actions. The texture and blood of Jackie Chan movies built in this skeleton are closely connected with the essence of Eastern culture.
Jackie Chan's martial arts moves convey the attitude of the Orientals towards reality and emotion. The action is not for evil intentions, but for morality. If you do not take the initiative to hurt others, you will never fear violence. After the 1980s, Jackie Chan broke through the traditional martial arts movies and added emotion to the action. This fusion has highlighted the appeal of Jackie Chan's action movies and narrowed the distance between action movies and reality. In "Chinese Zodiac", Jackie Chan complies with the call of the times and presents history and patriotism to the audience in the form of film propaganda. This enhances the cultural attributes of the film, but at the same time does not lose the commercial attribute of the film. , The combination of the two makes the film more appealing and watchable.
Finally, in Jackie Chan's comedy action movies, we are more and more able to feel the power of "Dragon Walks the World". He not only puts his eyes on the land of China, but in his films, he presents spectacle scenes from all over the world in the form of film backgrounds. This fully meets the requirements of the audience to broaden their horizons. It is also in line with the trend of global integration, which is a height that other Hong Kong martial arts films cannot reach. Jackie Chan's films traveled all over the world, covering the sea, land and air, with a strong appreciation, making Jackie Chan create his own film form. But in any case, highlighting the characteristics of Orientals and promoting Chinese culture is his theme.
Conclusion: Although Jackie Chan has appreciation and learning of American Hollywood movies, he does not blindly follow suit. He believes that Hollywood blasting, speeding and other action scenes are not necessarily applicable to Chinese movies. It can be seen from this that Jackie Chan insists on his personality and maintains his own style in the process of following the trend. This is also the key to his success.
