"The action movies of the new era, in general, are now in a more awkward situation. ”

In front of so many audiences, Uncle Long can also say whatever he wants.

"After all, society is different, young people now have more choices, and they no longer have to endure hardships with martial arts like we did back then, and they will be injured all over the body, and they will not get better for decades. ”、

Speaking of this, Uncle Long was full of sighs and sighs.

Injuries may be the biggest distress for action moviemen, especially Uncle Long, who insists on not using a stand-in, and injuries are commonplace. He had steel plates on his thighs, steel nails on his back, and in the worst cases, he might even die, but fortunately, he persevered and survived. But how many people didn't make it through? And how many people withdrew from the film stage due to injury? There are too many.

Therefore, Uncle Long lamented that young people nowadays have many choices, because there are many choices, so people can not choose their martial arts. Anyway, if it's just to support the family, there are ways to find it. If you want to be famous, you can also do live broadcasts and self-media, which is different from Hong Kong Island back then. When Uncle Long was young, he really had no choice, and if he wanted to be famous and make a lot of money, he had to do these dangerous jobs.

After all, they are not from a professional class, and they can't act in literary films if they want to, and no one will watch them.

What about young people now, there are too few of the five majors, of course, there are people who are willing to try action movies, but they don't have martial arts skills, even if the martial arts finger comes up with a good action, there will be an obvious gap in terms of cohesion and sense of impact, and the final effect is basically unsatisfactory. And it's not just domestic, in fact, the situation faced by action movies is also abroad. Not long before Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth, "Mission Impossible 6" has just been released, although the plot is still the same, but it can still make the audience adrenaline soar, thanks to Tom Cruise's interpretation, more than 20 years have passed since the first part, and he has changed from a 34-year-old young man to a 56-year-old "uncle", but the difficult actions of "Mission Impossible 6" are no less than the previous ones.

In front of the veteran action superstar, Tom Cruise is still relatively tender, Bruce Willis is one of them, although he does not have an extraordinary appearance and amazing body shape, but he is still a charismatic action star in Hollywood, has starred in the "Die Hard" series, "Twelve Monkeys" and "The Expendables" with Schwarzenegger and Stallone, in addition, when Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, he was 63 years old.

Speaking of veteran action superstars, I have to mention Schwarzenegger, who can be an actor, a bodybuilder, and even enter the political arena for many years, at the age of 71, he still has several movies to be released, including the movie "The Mystery of the Dragon Brand" with Uncle Long, I don't know what it will be like for these two "uncle" superstars to get together. Schwarzenegger is old enough, but Stallone is 1 year older than him. Sylvester Stallone was born with a slight facial paralysis, which made him slurred and had a wooden expression, and this just created the powerful and ruthless John Rambo in "First Blood", when Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, Stallone's "Creed 2" written, directed and acted was being filmed, and "First Blood 5" and "The Expendables 4" were also about to be released.

It can only be said that on a global scale, action movies are going downhill.

It's just that this is especially evident in China.

After all, what can always be done in China is a kung fu movie.

Romance movies are available in any country, and the domestic ones are not bad, but there are no obvious advantages, and they belong to the average. Suspense films, reasoning films, are not good at in China, supernatural films, are also restricted enough, and love itself cannot be very brilliant, that is, action movies, because Chinese kung fu has always been a global leader.

But now, it is also seriously declining.

If you really want to talk about the reasons, the reasons are varied, it may be because of the changes of the times, or it may be the peak period when action movies really come to the peak, and the result is that the prosperity must decline, after experiencing the peak period, it is inevitable that there will be a certain contraction, but how to say it, since there is prosperity and decline, there must be a bottoming out. The same is true for domestic action movies, if it really comes to the end of the mountain, it may not be impossible to re-emerge. But to let people watch this industry go to the level of the poor water, it feels really bad.

In fact, the decline of action movies is really not something that can be explained clearly for one or two reasons. Is it all for the little fresh meat? That's not right.

Or is it even more wrong to really blame the audience.

It can only be said that nowadays science and technology are becoming more and more developed, and special effects are getting better and better, not to mention those sci-fi blockbusters full of screen special effects, special effects fairy films, all kinds of flying away, and there is no scum left in traditional martial arts films to kill in seconds. It's like, accustomed to seeing all kinds of power-splitting powers, and then looking back at the martial arts that can't kill a person with three or four swords, how many people can calm down and watch it? Times are always changing, the tide of history will make choices, whether action movies can continue to go, this is really a very difficult thing to say.

But after all, what is the future of action movies is not a matter of two people, but a group of people, people from one industry, and one industry working together. How to make action movies survive in today's environment full of special effects and burst out of the second spring is a problem that all practitioners should think about.

When it comes to actors, the least point is, of course, to cultivate newcomers.

Not to mention anything else, it's still the same sentence, Wu Zhi has designed the action for you, how can you interpret the action better? People with martial arts skills are naturally relatively relaxed, and people without martial arts skills, even if they use all kinds of editing methods, it will inevitably make people look uncomfortable. What's more, the martial arts shots themselves are composed of a series of continuous actions, and later new types of action movies, the editing is too excessive, using a large number of shots to splice a movement that should be smooth, and cutting it out, but it gives people a feeling of fragmentation.

Therefore, martial arts skills are very important.

If you look at it this way, in fact, the seedlings are not nothing.

Wu Jin can be regarded as a successor, and as a reborn, Zhou Fangyuan knows very well how powerful the future Wolf Warrior 2 is. However, Wu Jin's age is a problem, he belongs to the late formation, at the best age, but he was pressed by several mountains such as Uncle Long and Uncle Lian Jie, even if he is not specifically suppressed by him, but the audience recognizes Uncle Long and them, and it is difficult for Wu Jin to get ahead.

This is also a loss to the future, Uncle Lian Jie announced his retirement, and Uncle Long also began to reduce production, and one and a half of the three mountains were walked, and Wu Jin took advantage of the trend. It is not easy to accumulate for many years.

Similarly, Zhang Jin and Wu Yue, if Wu Jin is a late bloomer, then these two are basically not successful.

Zhang Jin's one Kill the Wolf 2, the performance of the thug in a suit is quite big and in place, and it is also popular, but the next few movies are unfavorable at the box office, and it almost becomes box office poison, which is really embarrassing. Needless to say, Wu Yue has always given people the impression that Cai Shuigen in the underground transportation station has only gradually improved a little in the two years before Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth.

Several of them can be regarded as Uncle Long's successors, and the domestic action movie market, if it is a prosperous period, it is no problem to hold up several martial arts superstars at the same time. But who made the martial arts film market fail, so a few of them can only take turns to take the position.

As for the younger ones...... Yes!

It's not that there isn't.

Shi Xiaolong is one.

was the first to shoot Oolong Courtyard with Uncle Meng Da and Brother Zhiying, as well as movies such as Whirlwind Kid, and the debut of a child star, it was really eye-catching at that time. looks cute, and the movements are quite in place, and he was once really a key seedling of a domestic martial arts superstar. He is handsome, cute when he was a child, and he is not bad when he grows up, and he has a sense of righteousness and heroism. But how to say it, in the middle, there is a gap period of a few years, and it is said that it is because of the relationship between academics that he said goodbye to the showbiz for a short time? In fact, it is true, young people, children, should focus on their studies. It's just that when I grew up, my figure was a little out of shape at first, which suddenly affected my appearance, and it directly affected my ability to take on the play.

Fortunately, I have a good foundation, my facial features have not been out of shape, and after losing weight, he basically regained his handsomeness back then, and before Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, he gradually had more roles. But basically focused on the field of TV dramas, and there is still little involved in movies, but he is still a good seedling after all, which can be expected.

Then there is Cao Jun, like Shi Xiaolong, he is also a martial arts child star debut, "True Little Monk", "Nine-year-old County Master", "Baolian Lantern" and other works are also popular, and he himself has also studied martial arts. It's just later, also because of schooling, there are fewer scenes filmed, and as I get older, I actually start to transform, but I have less and less contact in the field of martial arts films, the foundation is still there, and the future is promising.

Xie Miao, this is amazing. may not be as famous as Shi Xiaolong, but at the beginning, he was known as the No. 1 martial arts child star! He has also cooperated with international superstars such as Uncle Lian Jie, Jing Fatzi, and Sister Mei, and he is also the only child star who has cooperated with international superstars the most. He cooperated with Uncle Lian Jie twice, playing the father and son in "Shaolin Five Ancestors" and "Red Dragon", and was once ridiculed by everyone as Uncle Lian Jie's royal son, and was once regarded as Uncle Lian Jie's successor. It's a pity that later, because I had to go to school, I had to leave the showbiz temporarily. When I came back, it was already a matter of time.

Martial arts films are no longer popular, and his own appearance seems to be problematic, not as cute as when he was a child. Of course, adults, if you describe it as cute, it's a bit insulting. But the problem is that without the cuteness of childhood, it doesn't mean how handsome he is when he grows up, he can be compared with ordinary people, but how many handsome guys are in the entertainment industry, compared with the handsome guys in the circle, Xie Miao is a little insufficient. And there is a very real problem, that is, the drama when I was a child was too good!

Really, this is not a disparagement, but a fact.

The films he cooperated with back then were all international superstars, and the films he made were all classics.

Although he is only a small supporting role in it, a small supporting role can also have a brilliant side. On the contrary, some of the scenes that were beaten later were uneven, the good ones were not much better, and the bad ones were really bad. You must know that a good movie or a good TV series is not something that one or two actors can hold up, it is the crystallization of the entire crew, from the director to the executive role, after everyone's hard work. Don't say it's him, there are some bad movies, you just invited Uncle Lian Jie and Uncle Long, he still has to be rotten, there is no need to discuss.

What's more, Xie Miao himself does not have such a strong acting ability, and he can change anything by himself. So when you receive a good show, you will be brilliant, and if you receive a bad show, you will learn a long lesson for yourself at that time.

But one good thing is that he has always insisted on martial arts films, even after his return, when martial arts films are no longer popular, he still insists on filming scenes.

With a strong foundation, as long as you have the opportunity, you may not be able to rise again.

And then ...... Dangdangdang!

Highlight!

Baby!

This is quite powerful.

He may be the only actor in China who can truly be called the successor of action movies.

The baby is actually very powerful, although it doesn't look very good, but the more it is, the more it can highlight his extraordinary.

He began to practice martial arts at the age of 6, and was a lay disciple in Shaolin Temple at the age of 8.

In 03, he won the Best New Actor Award at the 40th Golden Horse Awards for the feature film "Blind Well". In 04, he gained attention for participating in the feature film "No Thieves in the World".

In 08, he won the Most Popular Actor Award at the 24th Golden Eagle Awards and the Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor Award for the role of Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault";

Later, in 11 years, he won the Best Actor Award and the Asia-Pacific Film Award at the Russian, New York, and Italian Film Festivals for the comedy "Mr. Hello! In 12 years, "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand", which cooperated with the bald Zheng again after "People Are in Embarrassment", set a new box office record for Chinese films. In 14 years, he successively starred in the sci-fi film "Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth" and the action movie "One Man's Martial Arts". In 15 years, he starred in the fantasy film "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", cough, this film is not easy to say...... In December, he starred in the comedy "Detective Chinatown".

This person has a wide range of plays, and basically any type of film - except for those that are too deep - he can easily win them. Especially in the movie of a person's martial arts, the scene of fighting against the Universe Dan is quite exciting, and the previous few small paragraphs also show good martial arts skills. A word horse or something, it was as easy for him as it was to breathe.

If you want to talk about the new generation, among the martial arts actors, the baby may be regarded as the successor in the real sense.

When Uncle Long had not completely abdicated and the Universe Dan was on the verge of dominating the world, he could come out of his head, which was extraordinary. Others still need to wait for opportunities, but he has already created opportunities for himself, which is indeed quite powerful.

But...... Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only so few successful successors to action actors, and it still makes people clearly feel that action movies are really starting to decline.
