"Ip Man 4" is about to break 1.2 billion, which is currently the highest box office of a kung fu movie. Donnie Yen’s movement routines are a bit simple, and I’ve seen them for so many years. It’s a bit tired. Commander Jin Yiwei and the underworld thugs’ routines are exactly the same. They are indeed inferior to Jet Li and Zhao Wenzhuo in terms of basic skills. I feel that from his youth to the present, he has been using his signature action to "turn and kick" in all movies. It is not clear that this action is used in every movie. If you watch a few more movies, you will find the problem. There are fewer traces in Ip Man.
Chinese kung fu movies are no longer brilliant. The end of kung fu movies is that they will never be able to make their heads anymore. They are all gesturing with special effects without kung fu. If the audience feels that it is okay to perform with special effects, then the viewing value will be greatly reduced. The performance will be played, and the good-looking Kung Fu ladies are actually a scarce resource.
Wushu can be filmed by people who are not martial arts. If it is a literary drama, a whole movie will have a few hundred shots, but a four-minute fight in a martial arts drama requires more than 200 shots, which consumes the physical strength of the actors and staff. There are fewer and fewer martial arts stars and action directors. Fewer and fewer. Kung fu movies have good themes, but not every kung fu movie has the talents of Tsui Hark and others. Not every kung fu actor has Jet Li, Jackie Chan and their hard work, Wu Jing and Zhang Jin are good, but they are nearly 40 years old. Without good screenwriters, younger Kung Fu stars have a weak successor. Good scripts, good actors, good directors, and good editors are all indispensable. Good films are not easy.
The United States has always been so strong. They have a lot of personal heroism movies. In our lives and at work, we hope that we collectively make contributions and earn honors. We also hope that we can be the top of the group and achieve achievements that surpass others. And contribution. Just like many people attacked "Wolf Warriors" with serious personal heroism, a small group of people on the Internet devalued it as worthless, and no one would look at it. I don’t refute this point. Does anyone see it? How many people are willing to watch the box office talk.
Leng Feng's personal heroism can succeed because he has a strong motherland behind him, which is also a manifestation of collectivism. The country is in need, the people are in danger, who has no idea to come forward? Leng Feng represents a soldier, but also thousands of soldiers. Art comes from life and is higher than life.
