"Jing Wu" poster "Detective Dee" poster "Sword Rain" poster newspaper reporter Weixin 2000 ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", the next year, the coronation of Oscar, the Chinese film "martial arts" trend, so far, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang ... Almost all the number of large directors in China have taken "ancient costume martial arts", and this type of commercial blockbuster "hot Start" the domestic film market. After ten years of "martial arts" dream, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", martial arts film style into the rut, not only from the Chinese audience who underestimated the martial arts novels, even overseas film merchants also gradually appeared "aesthetic fatigue." Ang Lee once said: "Martial arts films will have a resurgence in 10 years." "This year's National day file, is precisely the Chinese martial arts film again when the Tide:" Jing Wu Chen, "" Sword Rain "" Detective Dee's Empire of Babel "three Arrows Qi hair.　　More rare is, Lau, John Woo, Tsui Hark three to make a commercial film started and once in Hollywood, the big director, Bold introduction of Hollywood elements to update the traditional martial arts, this is not the other man, rivers and lakes. Type of change serve modulation "cocktail" as a secret of Chinese film, martial arts film after a century of wind and rain baptism. From Hu, Cheh to Tsui Hark, Ching, to Wong Kar-wai, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, style change, has tried many possibilities. Today, if you want to take martial arts film to make new ideas, for any Chinese director is a headache.　　and "Jing Wu Chen" "Sword Rain" "Detective Dee's Empire of Babel" three of innovation lies in the serve--boldly learn from the Hollywood model to update the traditional martial arts, and developed fashion martial arts comic book style, martial arts suspense, martial arts detection and other types of subdivision. New School martial arts like a cup of carefully modulated cocktails, Chinese kungfu is "base wine", and then according to the changes in the times, the audience taste with a variety of commercial types of elements to reconcile.　　The 21st release of the "Jing Wu Chen", the fight scene is the largest box office guarantee, and Lau also learn from the Hollywood superhero elements, Zhen Chen really like Superman, Spider-Man, 007, iron men of the combination, but also the suave fashion Tatsu. So fresh "mix and match" to make the audience refreshing, and this is not "Jing Wu" Original, "Sword Rain" plot can be interpreted as "ancient costume version of the face" + the Ming version of The Smiths ", Daili endure on the film as a" career love film "; Andy Lau played the most handsome in the history of Detective Dee Brawn, the appearance of "Sherlock Holmes", Tsui Hark imagination, in the context of the Tang Dynasty to play to the extreme, combined with tense fighting scenes, the detection process is thrilling. As the "Sword Rain" director Su Zhaobin said: "In line with the west, film genre, push the international market, Hong Kong film is the most experienced."　　"Lau, John Woo, Tsui Hark are the three types of Master, and Hollywood directed experience, familiar with the operation of the Hollywood model," wine "technology is the western and Western. The change of character is not the story of the man. Jin Yong has Hiang: Chinese "chivalrous" under the wordFace is two, is two people fight, is "road see uneven Comes", and "great man, country." "In the martial arts film, the chivalrous spirit is to speak with the fist, Guqiu country hate cannot not report, Donnie Yen played Chen is one of the latest, but this is not the man, more like comic hero, and will play the piano, speak a foreign language, very mysterious" Chen ", but also more like 71 suave, but also with Shu Qi talked about a dangerous love. Until the climax of the film's final Hongkou Dojo, Donnie Yen to wear Mao suit, light out the double sticks, roar out the signboard and "Chinese people are not the sick man of Asia!" "Slogan, let the audience see the familiar Chen. The director in the character processing uses the modern vision and the value idea, the esthetic appeal to reshape the traditional hero. Likewise, the detective Dee, who is a humorous, brawn, no longer a wily, pacing back and forth, would only say, "This case will be a big catch!" "The traditional film and television image.　　and "Sword Rain" in the killer, such as Michelle Yeoh retreat, but also just to live ordinary life, the villain Xueqi for martial arts cheats not for power, only to be able to become a normal person again. Break up the heroic image of the tall whole martial arts, is to avoid the plot into a cliché, John Woo said: "The audience to see the martial arts film too much, not a master battle is a river, so a look at what will happen later, nothing but the last blow." But if you add some suspense element is very different, but suspense film is not a horror film, the key is to let the audience have a sense of generation and participation, in fact, this is a story about feelings. "Sword Rain" in addition to a very beautiful fight, there are many suspense elements and the audience ' wits ', which is a fresh attempt. "The change of the pattern of the rivers and lakes of the daily life is also wonderful" people are rivers and lakes. "For film directors, people are the aesthetic of the audience." Times are changing, and rivers and lakes must follow. Dragon has made "happy Hero", ridicule Jin Yong's chivalrous heroes do not eat human fireworks, do not know hunger poor.　　To "sword Rain" as the representative, the new school martial arts show the legendary Lake of the day-to-day, unfamiliar side. Shangjian Rivers and lakes, the pleasure, this is the classic narrative of martial arts films, "Sword Rain" but the first time from the woman to wash their hands, the film in front of the half of the text to show the life of the ordinary people, the day-to-day interpretation of the rivers and lakes, so that the audience refreshing. When the assassin begins to live again in another identity, she faced the way of life is another kind of river, in this unfamiliar, day-to-day rivers and lakes, the audience instead saw the past martial arts film has not been wonderful: Michelle Yeoh's "Water sword" only used to cut tofu, chop flies, as an older unmarried young woman she was forced to blind date, In the face of Jeong into the attentive, she also learn to fall in love ... These seemingly 闲笔 romance lay the groundwork for the suspense in the second half of the film. Some critics say, "Sword rain" is "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" After the best martial arts film.　　It is precisely because of the film on the singing, the people of the heart of the unprecedented attention and excavation. It is worth mentioning that, "sword Rain" was filmed when the film named "Sword Rain Lake." For the lake, the filmWriters, Director Su Zhaobin this interpretation: "Everyone in the life of certain stages, have thought about it again, hope to live another life, this is a hidden theme in the film." This is human nature, whether in the fashion film or in the costume film, the same. "The same change in the rivers and lakes is also found in Tsui Hark's Empire of Babel." In the past impression of the audience, most of the ancient costume is "the Banquet" "All over the golden belt," such as Gong infighting, rivers and lakes dispute, and "Detective Dee's Empire" as a mysterious color of ancient costume martial arts drama opened the field of vision: China's most powerful Tang Dynasty, mysterious detective themes, Majestic of the gods are the scene, Wonderful action scenes ... The accumulation of many new elements created a new situation in China's ancient costume.　　"Ghost City" a section is to let a person jaw-dropping, Tsui hark pursuit of fantasy effect let the people's eyes, dazzling extreme. The change of style is real to materialized people from Ang Lee "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" Bamboo Shouyi to Zhang Yimou "hero" of the lake, the classic martial arts movie screen will be the Chinese culture of the brisk elegant aesthetic tradition, and almost become a martial arts film fixed aesthetic program. Beauty is beautiful, successive, the audience will inevitably produce aesthetic fatigue. So, Tsui hark in "Seven Swords" has tried to put those "flying in the sky" heroes pull back to the world, the beauty became "disgraced", but the change did not get audience recognition.　　Nowadays, when the audience has seen enough "hammer", more and more like "Zhen Kung Fu", the style of martial arts film is invariably one of the changes. "Jing Wu" play the whole film half, Donnie Yen as the film action director, boldly put Bruce Lee's cut boxing combined with mixed combat, and then inject quite creative combat kungfu elements, which is precisely the director Lau want to see the action of innovation: "In fact, this time we play a comprehensive action." The whole design is like Donnie Yen's course, he was a child with his mother to learn Taiji, in the United States contacted karate, judo, boxing, Jian Dao, and later to Beijing to learn Chinese kung fu, these years and contact the Brazilian jujitsu. "Jing Wu" Action integration of Donnie Yen so many years to learn Kung fu, refined into the film. I asked for the action of Donnie Yen and the past is different, to have a sense of rhythm, we will add a lot of environment to cooperate with his action. This is not a general action movie. "Dodge is actually the National day file three movie fight scene common characteristics." Another major protagonist of the martial arts film is weapons, "sword Rain" and "Detective Dee's Empire" are subtly materialized people, the weapon and character of character integration, not only to meet the audience on the visual imagination of martial arts, but also to help shape the character. "Sword Rain", Michelle Yeoh's water sword as weak as water but hidden murderous rather like its people, and Daili endure the stunt "Heaven Immortal Rope" to open their eyes, there are Shawn hidden mystery god needle, quite a lot of Cologne novels in the World God soldiers ranked fun. In "Detective Dee's Empire," Andy Lau is armed with a defensive weapon, indicating that Shang is easy to defend and less offensive; Li Bingbing played the top officer static son took turns waving long whip and child knife, aggressive, characterThe charm of his role, as for "Dali less Qing Pei Dong to" Chao equipment, is completely an "ancient commando", absolutely dazzling. The production of the change director of the Double Wheel drive "Sword Rain" before the release, about the director's signature has set off a small waves, and finally identified "John Woo Works, Su Zhaobin film" Such a way. Unlike the previous domestic film directors, the film producer with the director, double wheel drive control film, become the National day file three film common new mode: producer, director John Woo and screenwriter, director Su Zhaobin is "young and old with", the former has experience the latter has the spirit; Director Tsui Hark's imaginative imagination, producer Kuo is a bit structure and logic is very strong screenwriter, but also more than a large number of Huayi hand, control strong; "Jing Wu Yun", the director Lau good scene scheduling, with a mirror, the producer of Chen Jia on as a screenwriter, control the whole drama trend,　　Donnie Yen simply nominal action director directly responsible for repertoire, all the best director. Hollywood uses producer center system, only the first-line big director has the final splicing right, the producer, the producer has the influence to the film greatly. It is precisely because there is a very strict film production system to ensure that film filming and post-production quality, only to form the Hollywood business of the assembly line mode. Because the commercial blockbuster and the minority literature film different, many times are not more than whose merit, but is less than who's shortcoming. The director is the actor's Mirror, the producer is the director's Mirror. The emergence of a strong producer is a counterbalance to the director and a balance to the film. With the domestic commercial blockbuster operation mode more and more mature, the division of labor more and more meticulous, each other, with tacit understanding has gradually become a new model. The final splicing version of "Detective Dee's Empire" was also completed by the executive producer Kuo.
