The first scene is in the knife casting workshop, Ding Cheng is shirtless, holding a red knife embryo in his left hand, raising a hammer with his right hand and smashing it hard!

One time......

Double-click......

Three times ......

Sparks splash,

Sweat makes the muscles full of visual impact!

This time, I obviously feel that Xu Laowei is not taking the usual path, which is different from the freehand of traditional martial arts movies, this is definitely a technique of fine brushwork, whether it is the shape or the scene, depicting the dirty and chaotic nature of the world's people's hearts, and the lonely smoke of the desert, creating a chaotic world where either you die or I die.

Jianghu has unexpectedly become a hodgepodge, there are no real masters, but everyone is a crazy world of mixed rice, knife fields, hunters, horse thieves, killers......

The lower ninth rate instead makes the story have a very peculiar atmosphere. People are struggling to survive, fighting and rioting, full of savage blood, upside down torture and killing, bullying the weak, and even skinning the public, full of male hormones.

Compared with Xu Laowei's previous classics, it is particularly alternative and rude. There is no national righteousness of "Huang Feihong", there is no freedom of "A Laugh in the Sea", and there is no "Undefeated in the East", which is full of anger, and there is no charm and itchiness of "Green Snake".

Jianghu is not a young man in white, the emotional story of a lady in colorful clothes, it is a group of relatively low levels of society, no high cultural literacy of martial arts, for their own livelihood and livelihood.

It is a general term for a working group, the swordsman is different from the swordsman, more heroic, powerful, more symbolic of masculinity, and more primitive human desire.

Desperate for ambition, power, self-recognition......

"I'm just going to tell the audience ......"

After the first day of shooting, Xu Laowei looked at Ding Cheng, who was sweating profusely, and said seriously: "Jianghu is such a fuck, except for yourself, no one will empathize with your pain!"

"The bystanders didn't come up to make up for it, they are already considered to be the ancestors who have accumulated great virtues, eat feces and urine a few more times, and then be cut a few times by others, this is the rivers and lakes. ”

Ding Cheng gave a thumbs up, your old man is really back to basics this time!

"There's no way, it's not easy for him in the past two years!" returned to the hotel and chatted with Xiong Xinxin, Ghost Foot Seven was a witness.

"Now the audience is demanding, not only do they like the shocking big scenes, all kinds of top-level special effects, but they also want to see a wonderful plot?"

"The director is not a fairy!"

Ding Cheng smiled and said nothing, the words were ugly, the was unpalatable, who lived easily these years?

"You also know the special effects, burning money is very ......"

"Plus those so-called small flow fresh meat, one is more expensive than the other, and each one is more water than the other when it comes to filming!"

"Miscellaneous and miscellaneous investments of more than 100 million, and the box office is not six or seven billion, what do you say?"

The cultural level of Devil's Foot Seven is not high, but the words are not rough, and a few sentences verify the sad history of Xu Laowei in the past few years.

I don't know why, but when I'm old, I'm obsessed with special effects shots?

Changing to other directors, it's normal to like to show off your skills when you're young, and it's understandable to pursue freshness.

People who have lived to almost seventy have never seen any strong winds and waves, and in their own opinion, it is a good time to wash away the lead and return to the basics.

The shoot has depth,

socially significant,

Isn't it good to have works that dig into human nature?

The reason why I took this work is that I want to cooperate with Xu Laowei, and secondly, because of the script, if it is really Di Renjie's series......

Stay where you go!

This work is not so much a martial arts movie as a movie about searching.

It is divided into two lines: one is the protagonist Ding'an's search for his identity, and the other is the heroine Xiaoling's search for the missing Ding'an, or the search for love.

The search for others and the search for oneself are intertwined, and the things that both are looking for are the most important to themselves, and the story actually revolves around two questions:

Who am I?

Where is he?

Tsui Hark deliberately blurs time and space in this movie, roughly taking place in the Northwest Desert in the era of cold weapons, where the official whip is beyond the reach of the gangsters, bandits and knights compete with each other, the knife is a symbol of strength and a guarantee of survival, full of desire and blood, and there is an unavoidable cruelty.

The director wanted to portray a mad nightmare that brought lingering uneasiness and tremors. Through violently shaking shots, rapid pushing, pulling, and editing, the hysterical state of the characters conveys a certain uneasiness.

"Are you crazy?"

"They're horse thieves!"

"Brutes who kill people without blinking!"

Facing the master who raised him since he was a child, Ding Cheng felt so ridiculous for the first time, why did he practice martial arts?

Why cast knives?

Why live here?

The peace that has been deliberately created for more than 20 years has been broken in an instant, and the outside is the cruelty of cannibalism, the weak eat the strong, the strong are king, and everything can be done on their own......

Hold the knife in your hand!

Especially when I finally knew my life experience, I realized that the rivers and lakes are a place of buying and selling, the buying and selling of things, the buying and selling of money, and the buying and selling of blood debts and enmity.

"It's too slow!"

"Your knife is too slow!"

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

Xiong Xinxin crawled all over the tattoos, the whole person was weird, and the two scimitars were extremely sharp, like a meat grinder, wantonly harvesting human lives!

"No!"

In the face of such a master, Ding Cheng was covered in blood, and watched his companions being slaughtered with a hideous face......

Witness the bloody battle of the father-like master......

watched his brothers fall in a pool of blood......

Boil over

screaming and raising the broken knife in his hand,

Charge towards the mighty horse thief Wyvern!

"Hahaha......"

"This is your knife?"

"Slow!"

"Why is it so slow?"

"Come on!"

"Don't you want revenge?"

"Stand up!"

Xiong Xinxin looked at Ding Cheng, who fell to the ground, like a cat and mouse, watching the prey being cornered little by little, this pleasure was unstoppable.

Ding Cheng's eyes were red, staring at the enemy in front of him, he couldn't stand up after several struggles, his body had reached the limit, and what he supported was just a lot of blood.

There was a blur in front of me, all the conflicts and fights, will all be carried out and ended in the dark?

No!

The master can't die in vain!

Brother's blood cannot be shed in vain!

I have to stand up,

Even if you die,

Die with them!
