What if my daughter wants to be a star

Chapter 285 The beginning of postmodern martial arts

This professional person is naturally not someone else but Chen Meijuan.

When Su Ye filmed the second movie "Twilight", Chen Meijuan once analyzed the lens application of "Twilight" from a professional point of view. Netizens were amazed after watching it.

It's the kind of "although I don't know what Teacher Chen is talking about, but I just think it is awesome".

However, since "Twilight", Chen Meijuan has never seriously commented on Su Ye's movies.

Until today, until "Sword Rain" came out.

Regardless of previous discussions on the Internet, how people feel about the adaptation of "Sword Rain".At least in the box office and word of mouth, "Sword Rain" is a successful Chinese martial arts movie.This is a very commendable thing in today's martial arts film that has fallen into the sand for nearly ten years.

Netizens are only attracted by the wonderful fights of "Sword Rain", the suspenseful plot, and the huge reversal of changing faces.

But why "Sword Rain" is good-looking, netizens are still a little ignorant.It's just that for them, after watching this movie, they won't remember anything like many Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

Originally, it has been two weeks since the movie was released, and relevant analysis film reviews should have been made.However, the adaptation initiated by Chu Heng made film critics dare not speak out at this time.

Film critics dare not, but Chen Meijuan is not afraid.How many years has she been in the film industry, what big scene has she never seen?Speaking at this time is precisely to support Su Ye!

She issued a long film review titled "New Trends in Chinese Martial Arts Movies".

Once the film review was posted, it attracted widespread attention from netizens.

"Before Su Ye filmed the martial arts film "Sword Rain", I think most people, like me, did not hold any confidence in this martial arts film. Even in the hearts of industry insiders, most of them feel that they are now making martial arts films. It's no different from looking for death.

"But we really admire Director Su's love and justice, and we admire Director Su's courage.

"Until "Sword Rain" was released, I still had no hope for the film. However, when I saw the movie for the first time, I realized that Director Su was not brave, he was only confident in his talents."

(Su Ye smiles awkwardly when he sees here, this should be considered a talent for copy?)

"Why are martial arts movies declining? In my opinion, this is inextricably linked to the changes of the times, the development of society, and the growth of people’s thoughts. As the Internet becomes more developed, there are more and more types of art for netizens to choose from. The more, the martial arts can no longer catch people's attention like they did before. Because there are more types of works that are more dazzling and exciting than martial arts.

"In addition, I am afraid that it is also inseparable from the inaccurate grasp of the times by the martial arts film screenwriters. When they think that the action design of martial arts can no longer satisfy the audience, they add more fantasy elements to the martial arts. This makes martial arts become four different things, and also loses the key to martial arts so-called martial arts.

"And this "Sword Rain" by Director Su returns to the traditional martial arts martial arts design. We can see through many martial arts scenes such as the capital battle, drizzle one-on-four, battle outside the city, and battle at home. The movements designed by Yu are very realistic, without the slightest exaggeration. The special effects used in the whole film are even more basic, avoiding if they can be avoided, and giving the audience a real martial arts pleasure.

"Here I have to praise the screenwriter and the martial arts for each character's separate weapon and move design. From the protagonist Drizzle, Zhang Renfeng, Zhuan Wang, to the wonderful monk Lu Zhu, Heishi's Cai actor, Lei Bin, everyone Different weapons, they have a unique fighting style. After people see it, they only feel heartily and yelling joyfully..."

Chen Meijuan’s film review directly analyzes why martial arts movies have declined in the past ten years, and unceremoniously praised Long Yu’s action design in "Sword Rain."

But when netizens thought that Chen Meijuan was going to demonstrate the success of the film through the martial arts action of "Sword Rain", she changed her conversation and discussed how contemporary martial arts should continue.

"... The success of "Sword Rain", in addition to its strong viewing ability, should be more importantly revealed in the film a new trend of martial arts movies. This contains the classic Chinese martial arts spirit. Deconstructing and reshaping, it no longer emphasizes the benevolent feelings of "the great man, for the country and the people", nor does it apply the attitude of "happy enmity, and will repay" Xiaoyao Jianghu. The different inner desires of those martial arts masters to peek into the so-called arena and extend the original classic martial arts spirit to a calm thinking about inner choices.

"What they defend with their high-strength martial arts is no longer the concept of the family and the country, the morality of the world, but a kind of inner peace and the return of the soul.

"From this point of view, the subversion and reshaping of the spirit of martial arts in "Sword Rain" can become a turning point in Chinese martial arts movies. I hope that from now on, creators who are committed to martial arts creations can open up Chinese post-modern martial arts. New direction."

The new trend of Chinese post-modern martial arts?

Netizens were surprised when they saw Chen Meijuan's statement.

"Sword Rain" is indeed good, but "Sword Rain" actually opened up a new direction?Wouldn't this statement put "Sword Rain" too high?

"In general, the most important aspect contained in the connotation of the Chinese martial arts spirit is a sense of responsibility, a kind of responsibility, and this kind of responsibility and responsibility is mainly what the society and others say to the knight Xiaoxia sacrifices himself for others, and heroes serve the country for the people. Whether they are Xiaoxia or heroes, they have one point in the same spirit, that is, their responsibility to the outside world, that is, dedication.

"But the martial arts spirit shown in "Sword Rain" is just the opposite. In the whole film, it is difficult for us to find the kind of responsibility and responsibility to sacrifice ourselves for the country and the people. What is presented to the audience are the characters of the rivers and lakes through blood and fight. The process of redemption. During this process, some people gave up their salvation and became a walking dead, such as the five unknown people who snatched Rama's body at the beginning of the film;

"Someone has failed in the process of saving themselves and turned into a wave of blood that disappears suddenly, such as Lu Zhu.

"Some people have survived hardships and finally succeeded and rescued themselves from the bitter sea of ​​rivers and lakes. They are no longer seen in the rivers and lakes, and only their legends are left. Drizzle and Zhang Renfeng are such people.

"We can see that different people end up with different destinies. However, whether it is the unknown people or the people in the black stone, after all, they cannot do without eight characters. It is also the main theme of the whole film: people are in rivers and lakes. Can't help it.

"The Cai opera master has been injured for many years and has always wanted to'retire' and concentrate on studying tricks, but Blackstone summoned and had to come. Lei Bin's lifelong wish was to open a noodle restaurant and live a normal life, even if he died, he did not forget. Go home and eat a bowl of noodles.

"These people wanted to leave the disputes between the rivers and lakes, but once they entered the rivers and lakes, they would not be able to escape. Even if they changed their names or even changed the appearance of drizzle (Zeng Jing), they were still entangled in the rivers and lakes, and they had no choice but to draw out their own swords .

"In the whole movie, no one thinks about unifying the world—or rather, those who think about unifying the world are just a little bitch—the richest man, Zhang Dajing, is only able to walk upright; the painter is trying to treat his sores. , And the dignified Blackstone Runner just wants to become a real man. No one snatches Rama’s body to dominate the world. Everyone pursues only himself. This is naturally selfish, but this is true. .

"This arena is disturbing. Even the martial arts knights will eventually get bored. Everyone wants to leave the arena, but they can't help themselves.

"But even if the King of Wheels got Rama's body, it was nothing short of success. On the contrary, Zeng Jing and Zhang Renfeng, who were not interested in Rama's body, succeeded in breaking away from the rivers and lakes and flying away.

"This is another theme the movie wants to say: no one can save you, only you can save yourself.

"The martial arts movie "Sword Rain" directly abandons traditional martial arts ways, completely deconstructs martial arts, opens up a new path of martial arts, and provides a new way of thinking for post-modern Chinese martial arts. On top of this, it conveys the director's wish. What I want to say to the audience. This is the reason for the success of "Sword Rain" at the box office, and it is also the direction that future martial arts films need to learn.

"I hope this is the beginning of post-modern martial arts, and I hope it will not end there."

…………

Once Chen Meijuan's long film review was released, there was a storm on the Internet.

Positioning "Sword Rain" as the new trend of Chinese post-modern martial arts is not unfavourable.

However, after a brief period of suspicion, netizens were conquered by Chen Meijuan's subsequent arguments.

Subversion of the traditional martial arts re-creation, this kind of martial arts, which does not seem to resemble martial arts, has achieved better results than traditional martial arts.Doesn't this explain the problem?

Times have changed. After people have seen more and more cultures, they have psychologically changed the way traditional martial arts follow.

It is not that people no longer agree with traditional martial arts who sacrifice themselves for others and serve the country for the people, but that people become more rational and can accept different cultural ideas.

A martial arts movie like "Sword Rain" that does not pursue the best in the world and no longer acts as a chivalrous man, not only does not make people feel contrary to martial arts, but more interesting.

That's right!Chen Meijuan is right!

No matter what art form is innovating, movies have changed from 2D to 3D and then to 4D-although watching 4D is likely to fall apart and unable to move-why does martial arts have such "suffering and deep hatred"?

We also like postmodern martial arts who are self-salvating!

Before, Su Ye said in an interview that "Sword Rain" would be a "post-modern martial arts". At that time, netizens still didn't understand it.

But after Chen Meijuan's explanation, netizens not only understood, but also fully agreed.

profession!That's so professional!

After four years, Teacher Chen is still so professional!
