Martial arts works have always been a major feature of the domestic film industry. Unfortunately, this market has gradually declined with the changes of the times.
Fortunately, with the rise of the " embroidered spring knife " series, domestic martial arts once again showed signs of hope, and Xie Miao's " defiant " series, which came from behind, has made the martial arts market even more popular. A chance to shine.
In this context, Shi Xiaolong , who also debuted as a child star, finally couldn't sit still.
html In mid-May, Shi Xiaolong's new work "The Knife Catcher" was put on the agenda and entered the public eye. Not surprisingly, this drama will be released during the summer vacation of 2024. It should be the same as the "Defiant" series. As a member Exclusive works.
The director of "The Knife Catcher" is Qin Pengfei.
Although the name is inconspicuous, Qin Pengfei serves as the director or action director of Xie Miao's popular "Defiant" series of IPs and "Northeast Police Story" series of IPs.
It is no exaggeration to say: Qin Pengfei is currently one of the best people behind the scenes of martial arts movies in China.
Directed by Qin Pengfei, starring Shi Xiaolong, the background promotion said: This drama is a gathering of masters, real kung fu and real fighting, and the children of the world are happy and grudges.
Judging from such a drama announcement, it is not difficult to see that the goal of "Knife Catcher" is to compete with the "Defiant" series.
This is very interesting. This is not only a "fight between left and right" directed by Qin Pengfei, but also an unprecedented "showdown of the century".
Shi Xiaolong and Xie Miao both became famous at a young age and have shot many classic action movies.
As time went by, both Shi Xiaolong and Xie Miao gave up their "child star careers" and returned to their studies. Later, after completing their studies, Xie Miao returned to the film and television market. He has been struggling in martial arts works for many years, but also It has been in a tepid state.
It was not until Xie Miao created two series of IPs, "Defiant" and "Northeast Police Story", that he became a top-notch IP, gained a high reputation, and was hailed as "the savior of domestic martial arts."
Now, with Xie Miao becoming popular, Qin Pengfei wants to praise Shi Xiaolong again, trying to imitate Xie Miao's route and create a martial arts superstar again.
This is Qin Pengfei’s own challenge, recognition of the market, and his challenge to the future of martial arts.
Such a challenge is also very interesting: Xie Miao or Shi Xiaolong, who will be the "leader" of martial arts.
There can only be one king in a track. The current king is Xie Miao, but who knows what will happen in the future? What if the returning Shi Xiaolong is here to stage The Return of the King?
It is worth mentioning that judging from the official poster released by Guangwang, the image of Shi Xiaolong in "The Knife Catcher" is highly similar to that of Xie Miao's "The Blind Man". They are both slovenly "reckless men". , masculine temperament is beyond expression.
At the same time, it is not difficult to see from the official announcement of the play: The crew of "Knife Catcher" is ambitious, and they are currently promoting the "Knife Catcher Universe".
The sword catcher, Jin Yiwei, has always been a "mysterious profession" in ancient times. Jin Yiwei already has the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series. IP?
is worth waiting and seeing.
Shi Xiaolong's "The Knife Catcher" is a perfect return. It not only rekindled the flame of martial arts movies, but also opened a door to the ancient world for the audience.
