I am not so great.
I thought about strangling you, and then I will commit suicide, so that everyone will not suffer. You should do me a favor and stand up and behave yourself.
"Dragon's Heart" Jackie Chan
[Artistic film played by action superstars, Jet Li is touching, Sammo Hung is the actor, Jackie Chan has no ]
action movies are the most ornamental of all movie genres and are famous for starring in action movies. Although the most beautiful is actually the hardest, because many times there will be life-threatening.
Many people's first impression of action superstars is that they are very good at playing and should have real skills; but they often overlook that they are actually actors and they also have acting skills.
For example, Jackie Chan is the winner of the two-time Golden Horse Awards of Taiwan Province, Sammo Hung is the winner of the two-time Hong Kong Awards, Jet Li also won the winner of the first time.
These action superstars with acting skills, what would it be like to act in a literary film?
[Jackie Chan] "Dragon's Heart", "Glass Bottle" and "Rouge Button"
In 1983, Hong Kong New Arts City Film Company made a bitter literary film "Hitch the Wrong Car" in Taiwan Province, which was awarded at the box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Both were a big success. As the biggest and most direct opponent of New Art City, Golden Harvest immediately responded by combining its two action superstars Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung to shoot the same bitter "Dragon's Heart" in 1985.
In "Dragon's Heart", Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung play a pair of brothers. His younger brother Jackie Chan is a policeman and his brother Sammo Hung is a mentally retarded youth.
Because his elder brother is mentally retarded, his younger brother has a dream of going to sea. This could have been made into a very sad literary feature film.
As a result, after the filming, due to box office pressure, a lot of action scenes were added, and they were extremely dangerous.
Later, 's 1999 New Year film "Glass Bottle" , Jackie Chan once again tried to make a literary romance film, but in the end he added a lot of action dramas and turned into an action love comedy.
Therefore, Jackie Chan has not really starred in a literary film.
However, as the boss, Jackie Chan has invested in a classic literary film, which is Anita Mui's masterpiece "Rouge Button". At the time of , Jackie Chan bought the copyright of "Rouge Button". He wanted to play himself, but finally gave up because there was no schedule.
[Sambo Hung] "Seven Little Fortunes", "The Last Eunuch", "The Last Eunuch in China", "Eight Two Golds" and "A Kin"
Before, it was always said that action actors and comedians are hard to get the actor. In fact, at the Hong Kong Film Awards, the first actor was the sneer Xu Guanwen. His award-winning work was the comedy film "Modern Bodyguard"; the second actor's double yolk eggs, respectively, are "Best Partner", Mai Jia and Sammo Hung of "Beware of Little Hands" is a comedian and an action actor.
Sammo Hung may not be the best acting actor, but he must be the first action superstar to win the actor.
's "Dragon's Heart" in 1985 is an action film for Jackie Chan, but still a literary film for Sammo Hung, because his role is a mentally handicapped young man and cannot be played at all.
As the big brother of the Hong Kong film industry, Sammo Hung was also a filming action comedy at first, and he was also the first action superstar to take the initiative to transform.
Since 1987, Sammo Hung has released 3 literary and artistic films.
"The Last Eunuch in China" is a tragic literary drama, which is also Mo Shaocong's best work before "Huang Feihong". As the producer, Sammo Hung is only a guest star in this film, playing the role of Mo Shaocong's troupe master.
cooperates with Maggie Cheung. Zhang Jianting's "Bride" is a bit similar to Chow Yun-fat's "Autumn Fairy Tale", telling the story of a pair of Chinese who struggled to make a living in the United States. However, action scenes were also added in the second half, and even the heroine Maggie Cheung played mud wrestling. Finally, the film is positioned as an action comedy.
"Seven Little Fortunes" is another masterpiece of Sammo Hung. With this film Sammo Hung won the Golden Award winner for the second time.
This film tells the story of the growth of the Seven Little Fortunes. Sammo Hung plays his master Yu Zhanyuan, and the heroine is Zheng Peipei. Lin Zhengying played their uncle, and finally completed the firstA difficult stand-in action was injured and went crazy on the spot. This scene deeply stimulated the young Yuanlong and Yuanlou, but it couldn't stop them from becoming future action superstars.
In 1989, co-starring with Zhang Aijia, Zhang Tingting's "Eight Two Golds" , should be Sammo Hung's most literary work. Not only did there not have any action scenes, but also went to the mainland of China to shoot, and photographed the cordial and fun local feelings, and the strong nostalgia and love. In that year, Sammo Hung also nominated the actor with "Eight Two Golds". If it weren't for the peak of Chow Yun-fat, Sammo Hung would most likely be the actor of the three-time Academy Awards.
In 1996, Michelle Yeoh, director of Anhua Hui, starred in the movie "Akin" , which reflects the life of a Hong Kong film stuntman (martial master). Sammo Hung played a martial arts director. This is a literary film full of action scenes and gang revenge, and it is also the work that best shows the acting skills of action actors.
With so many literary films, Sammo Hung deserves to be an acting school among action superstars.
[Jet Li] "Ocean Paradise"
Jet Li was born as an athlete. His first film "Shaolin Temple" was the actor. The first film became popular, and his debut was the peak. Therefore, Jet Li did not have Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung's experience in martial arts, and even before landing in Hollywood, he did not play a supporting role. After
became famous, Jet Li returned to China from Hollywood and began to devote himself to public welfare. In 2010, Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li appeared for the first time in a literary film, "Ocean Paradise" full of humanistic care.
"Ocean Paradise" is an adaptation of the real experience of the volunteer director Xue Xiaolu. Jet Li plays a terminally ill aquarium electrician who has an article about a son with autism. The story of the
movie is very touching, and Jet Li’s performance is even more delicate and true, making the audience completely forget that he is also an invincible action superstar.
In 2008, by virtue of "Certificate of Casting" Jet Li won a Golden Award actor, this "Ocean Paradise" let him take a Chinese Golden Koala Film Festival actor.
[Yen Zidan] "Together"
After Jackie Chan couldn't move, and Jet Li gradually retired, Donnie Yen became almost the only action star of that era who could play.
In 2013, Donnie Yen also tried a non-playing film, the literary romance "Together"; Donnie Yen played a very cool and stylish traffic policeman, cooperating with Ke Zhendong, Angelababy, Chen Yanxi and others.
Donnie Yen looks elegant, and is considered an idol among action superstars. However, , acting in a romantic movie with Chen Yanxi, still feels blunt. The online score of "Together" is only 3.6, which is really embarrassing. There is a big gap with the representative work "Ip Man" by Donnie Yen in those years.
[Wu Jing] guest star in "Teacher Good" and "Galaxy Tutorial"
In the past few years, Wu Jing has become the largest box office star in China. After this year's "Wandering Earth", he has become the first tens of billions box office gentleman in China.
However, it has been 24 years since Wu Jing debuted, and he has only appeared in more than 20 movies. In addition to action movies and comedies, Wu Jing has not starred in art films. However, because of the good mix, the circle of friends in the show business has expanded, and Wu Jing often has to help friends to appear in guest appearances.
In 2019, in Yu Qian's "Teacher·Good" and Deng Chao's "Galaxy Tutorial", Wu Jingjing played a guest role. The box office results of these two films are also good, but the commercial flavor is not too strong, and they are relatively literary works.
Judging from past works, Sammo Hung is the best performing art film among action superstars, has the most works and the best results; Jet Li is the most promising, and Jet Li, who is sincere in practicing Buddhism, has the most potential to perform. There are certainly opportunities for the others to perform in the future, but it seems that none of them have the heart to cultivate the arts.
