Xu Hark, known as "Old Monster Xu". He is one of the few action film directors in Hong Kong and even domestic films who can control the appetite of the audience. To say that Tsui Hark is the director of an "action movie" is a bit wronged. Starting from "New Shushan Swordsman" in 1983, Tsui Hark used his imagination to create a martial arts world with a happy and enmity for us. In his martial arts world, the heroes and knights are often righteous and kind in heart, and the villains are often curious and meticulous in their minds. The two factions are close to each other, there is doubt and betrayal, but in the end, evil is overwhelming.
Tsui Hark
From the earliest "Once Upon a Time", Tsui Hark's classics are countless, but the market performance and reputation of Tsui Hark's movies in recent years has been ups and downs. The beginning of the transition from prosperity to decline may be due to the movie "Seven Swords Under Tianshan".
Seven Swords Stills
"Seven Swords Under Tianshan" is one of the masterpieces of a generation of martial arts master Liang Yusheng. As one of the bearers of the new school of martial arts novels, Liang Yusheng discarded the bad habit of relying on revenge to support the plot in the old school of martial arts novels, but changed the martial arts novels to the concept of "the great man", advocating love and peace. These views coincide with Tsui Hark's martial arts world.
So Tsui Hark has been actively preparing for the filming of the "Seven Swords" movie long ago, and has been building a team since 2002. In the following three years, he did not shoot a feature film and concentrated on "Seven Swords". In order to make a good "circus", 500 extras, 300 horses, and a group of people climbed the 3,000-meter snow-capped mountain for live shooting. They also personally entered Xinjiang four times to prepare for the film selection and found "The Lord of the Rings". The special effects team escorted the film. All kinds of behaviors are not unprofessional, but the quality of the film makes people stop in midair embarrassingly with the hands ready to applaud.
Seven Swords Poster
"Seven Swords Under Tianshan" This work, according to the aesthetic concept of 2002 and the aesthetic standards of ordinary people, can be regarded as a middle-class martial arts film, but as a filming "New Dragon Inn" To Tsui Hark, the director of the "Once Upon a Time" series, this movie is not a standard. The whole movie has a slow rhythm, blurry dialogue, blunt plot turning, and awkward and blunt character creation, which makes many people unable to watch it. All the illogical things make it clear that the audience should be played as fools.
The rhythm is chaotic
The whole "Seven Swords Under Tianshan", the rhythm is chaotic and almost can't stand it. The tempo was good in the first few minutes, but the more chaotic the tempo became later, it was not fast when it should be fast, and when it was slow but not slow, the tempo was dragged to death. After reading it, there is a breath of breath in the chest, which is really bad.

has no logic
The rhythm of this thing may be different, but the story has no logic, I must have seen it. First, Liming and Yang Caini went up to the Tianshan Mountains, only four or five days later, but they came down to become first-class masters. What quick medicine did they take? Second, Yen Zidan was captured, but Lu Zhu ran back. It is a mystery how a weak woman who does not know how to martial arts can get out of her troubles; her three-seven sword could have turned the city upside down, but she let the fire go and ran back to die; People in Siwu Zhuang claim that everyone knows how to practice martial arts, but they are not spared by a rape and kill them. It is strange; there are all kinds of inconceivable and discordant places. It seems that Old Monster Xu is only shooting for "Seven Swords." "Seven Swords".
Sun Honglei’s beaconing
idiot plot
The plot of "Watching the Sunrise on Horseback" is reminiscent of Huan Zhuge. Liu Jialiang’s martial arts guidance makes people unable to see a trace of the master’s demeanor. In order to save people, he saves people and plays with his own. The handsome but illogical plot is incomprehensible. Tsui Hark said that this is his "new martial arts". It seems that people still can't accept it. Looking at the whole story, except for the big scene at the beginning, the dazzling red and unsaturated gray can make people see a bit of "new" meaning, the rest is not a bit of heart, even after watching the movie, you don't know how many Everyone has any background and deep hatred.
's only good character
From this movie, Tsui Hark has embarked on his "new martial arts" realm, and outsiders are increasingly unable to understand him. However, a director's control over the market has gradually declined, and the audience's appetite for watching movies has become more and more uncertain, which at least represents the beginning of a change from "prosperity to decline".
