Chapter 691
So, maybe out of curiosity, or wanting to have a look, what kind of film can make Lin Xiao and Dick Group so confident.
Kung fu films, once the golden age of Hong Kong Island films, can actually be said to be the golden age of kung fu movies.
But now, the current situation of kung fu movies is worrying.
In fact, there are still some kung fu films in Huaguo every year, but few of them are really successful.
So they really want to see what is the difference between "Once Upon a Time" and other kung fu movies?
The movie is now showing!
On the big screen, Liu Yongfu spread out the folding fan in his hand, and wrote a few big words of 'unequal treaty' and a dozen lines of small characters, and he could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the entire screening hall had become serious.
In fact, a plot like this, if the audience watched it with crooked nuts, it is estimated that it would be a little inexplicable, because they are difficult
This past is the opening song of 'Men should be self-reliant'.
Wu Tian, who played Huang Feihong, led a group of vigilante groups along the beach with bare arms, playing Hong Boxing in unison, and the black and white flags embroidered with the four big characters of protecting the family and defending the country fluttered in the wind, accompanied by the scene of the rising red sun.
This shot made many people nod their heads in unison.
This picture, with the opening song of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", looks very feeling.
The sun is rising, and the morning sun is all over the ground.
Although Wu Tian is not a big star, he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and naturally has a strong and sharp edge.
The key is that with his movements, he led the militia to punch uniformly along the beach, and the camera was from top to bottom, making Huang Feihong's image look tall and majestic.
Coupled with the previous "unequal treaty", it is in stark contrast to the rising sun, the morning sun is full of vitality, and the picture is full of vitality.
This is followed by a series of character appearances.
Thirteen aunts, Liang Kuan, Ya Chasu, Lin Yunkai, Shahe Gang, and of course Yan Zhendong.
Of course, the main thing is the protagonist, Huang Feihong!
Huang Feihong in the movie is no different from the old-school characters of that era, he is not smiling at his apprentices, and he is respectful to officials; when he finds that civilians are mistakenly injured by foreigners, he will come forward to claim compensation; but when he is wronged, he will obediently cooperate with the government.
In one word, it is "good people!"
But at the same time, he is also a martial artist, he does not lack a sense of responsibility to the country, but like the people of that era, he still fears the imperial power!
The place where the story takes place is in the city of Guangdong, and those who are familiar with history will naturally understand what is going on, because Guangdong City was one of the first cities in China to be opened to colonists.
In such a city, the clash of ideas between the old feudal society and the new Western capitalist society is very obvious.
And at this moment, Huang Feihong is a person who has not yet been able to change from the long-term feudal social thinking of Huaguo.
He can be said to be a reflection of the vast majority of people of that era!
But such a Huang Feihong obviously needs to be changed, but for him to change, he needs stimulation, guidance, and an introduction.
So Aunt Thirteen appeared!
The thirteenth aunt played by Yan Jue is not just a vase in the play.
Of course, the thirteenth aunt played by Yan Jue is definitely beautiful enough, and she amazed countless audiences as soon as she appeared.
But she's really more than just a pretty vase.
It can be said that Huang Feihong's change was largely influenced by her.
Because in the film, Aunt Thirteen is someone who has really been in contact with the West, has been to the West, and is the person Huang Feihong is really close to.
She can be said to be a representative figure of another group of people, she has studied in the West, she has both the generosity and enlightenment of modern Western women, and the conservative elegance of traditional Chinese women, and is the most perfect lover of Huang Feihong.
At that time, except for the invasion of foreigners, who broke the dream of the Heavenly Empire and opened the gate of China with guns, the people who really opened their eyes to the world were people like Aunt Thirteen.
But her role is not only that, she is the most colorful stroke in the whole movie except for Huang Feihong, and she is an indispensable role. Holding a Western camera, a pale European costume, a tall figure, fair skin, and an almost flawless face, from the beginning, it not only shows the identity background of the character concisely and clearly, but also leaves a deep impression!
The thirteenth aunt was the introduction to the change in Huang Feihong's thoughts.
Through the interaction between Aunt Thirteen and Huang Feihong, those clips that the audience watched enough to trigger laughter were actually the beginning of Huang Feihong's changes.
From Aunt Thirteen, he began to know some things that he didn't know before, and he began to try to accept those things for Aunt Thirteen.
In fact, the plot conflict of the whole film does not have much novelty.
Of course, this is a kung fu movie, and Lin Xiao has never thought of making anything too esoteric, is it still a kung fu movie?
The story of "Once Upon a Time 1" is very simple, the main line is to fight against the gold mountain of American propaganda, interspersed with the Shahe Gang, Yan Zhendong, Liang Kuan, including some trivial matters in life.
Of course, there is also the love between him and the thirteenth aunt.
Lin Jun was a little fascinated by it, and his focus was not only on the plot, but also on the design and style of the action.
The action design of "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" made Lin Jun's eyes shine, and many people did so.
It is different from the realistic hard-bridge horse style of "Martial Arts", and it is not as sharp as in modern action movies.
To sum it up in one word, it's elegant!
Especially Huang Feihong's fight scene, showing the demeanor of a generation of grandmasters, fists and feet are full of an elegant feeling, but they can hit with one blow, quiet as a virgin and moving like a rabbit!
And it's very powerful! The Shahe gang that he hit was all out of combat effectiveness at the touch of a button.
The point is that these actions feel very strange, its style is not aggressive, it does not seem to contain any anger, but it shows that it is powerful!
Of course, there's more to the action style than meets the eye.
For example, the conflict between Pork Rong and the Shahe Gang has evolved into a situation where it is impossible to fight without fighting, so the street fighting began.
The scene of the fight, orderly in the chaos!
But the fighting style here is a different one, and the fighting style of Wong Fei Hung is completely different from each other.
One second you are amazed at how realistic it is, and the next you can't help but laugh.
The reason for the fight between the two sides was very simple, Liang Kuan smashed a pork leg on the back of the head of the Shahe gang leader, and the younger brother next to him asked: "What reason should I find to step down this time?"
"Find you paralyzed, give it to me!"
How to say, a great sense of humor!
Don't underestimate this, it's actually very necessary, especially for a commercial film.
Looking at the most successful kung fu films, almost without exception, a certain amount of humor and comical elements have been added.
Over the years, Hollywood blockbusters have more or less added some similar elements to their fights.
