Of course, Li Xiaole can't ask his fans how they feel one by one, he has a very direct method, that is, watching the messages of netizens on Facebook, thank God, there is no Internet water army in the United States now, and the messages on social networks can also represent the attitude of young netizens.

Through the observation of the past few days, on Facebook, the evaluation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has formed two factions with clear barriers, and the opposition is almost all traditional martial arts drama audiences, many of whom are Chinese audiences, these audiences are almost the people who watched Cheng Long and Li Lianjie grow up, as well as the American martial arts fans driven by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", and they almost all unanimously responded that the martial arts action choreography in "Condor Shooting" was weak.

The "Silicon Valley Maniac", a Chinese student from San Francisco, left an indignant message on the US official website of "Shooting the Condor": "Is this a martial arts film or a historical drama? Why is it so difficult for a master like Qiu Chuji to kill a Jin State warrior!? This martial art is too weak, right, a generation of Quanzhen Sect masters, even when they fight, they still scratch the snow on the ground and throw other people's eyes...... This is simply ridiculous! It doesn't highlight the chivalrous spirit of martial arts movies at all! It's really a smear for Jin Yong's films! ”

And "King Blues" from Canada also disdained to leave a message: "To be honest, the plot is very exciting, the actors and dubbing dialogues are great, but I am really uncomfortable watching the style of this TV series, although the background and props are very exquisite, but why are there so many close-up slow motion during the fight?" A lot of first-person action is deliberately slowed down? Is this to show off the level of sophistication? Okay, the director has achieved his goal, I can see the reflection of the upper edge of the sword, but is there any point in this? In addition to the camera, showing off is showing off~! ”

This faction said that it was very unhappy to watch, thinking that the 3D "Shooting the Condor" was out of the rhythm of the original martial arts film, and the messages accounted for about one-third, Li Xiaole carefully analyzed the information of these people, a considerable part of them are Chinese students, Chinese Americans in the United States, and users from all over Asia, for these people who already have a solid framework for martial arts films in their minds, this version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" does seem a little unusual, and they still like the traditional martial arts style like "Huang Feihong".

And the 3D "Condor Shooting" that I really like is precisely those American viewers who have not been exposed to it, or who have seen this subject but are not interested, and most of them are full of praise for this series.

Netizens from New York exclaimed on Facebook in "Blanca's Song": "This style is simply China's "Robin Hood", but the scene is extremely epic like "Rome", I never thought that there was such a group of people in ancient China, they are now completely Batman, a copy of Green Arrow~~ Many scenes of fighting, looking at my blood are surging and I can't wait to jump, this realistic and bloody fighting style is simply amazing~! ”

Chicago's "Quentinists" also agreed: "I've never seen such a distinctive, well-made ancient theme, every scene, every scene brought me into that stormy and troubled China, but I don't think this series is like China's "Lord of the Rings", what Yang family gun back to horse gun, and Jiangnan Seven Monsters is really interesting, the Quanzhen Sect is probably similar to the medieval Templars, right?" ”

And Chris Murphy, a famous independent film critic at the Sundance Film Festival in New York, gave "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" its first A+ score this year on his blog, and he sighed:

"Our country's TV dramas have become a world-class industry because we have a complete ecological structure, including low-level and interesting dramas such as "The Big Bang Theory", "Evil Force", "Vampire Diaries", "Desperate Housewives", and "Lost", as well as "Dr. House", "Grey's Anatomy", "CSI", "White House", which are the cornerstones of American dramas. On top of this, the mutation inspired thought-provoking dramas such as "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad", "Homeland Security", and "Bloodthirsty Judge", and from there, it was only then that such masterpieces as "The Sopranos", "Band of Brothers" and "Mad Men" were honed, which are no less than superior literary works in terms of form, content, and charm.

So I have always believed that in order for a TV series to become a real classic, it cannot be bound by its own popularity, and cannot be limited by the genre of the subject matter.

The TV industry in other countries does not have the same ecological environment as the United States, and surprisingly, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is an exception, this martial arts drama deals with its own plot and historical events in a unique way, and in terms of plot, he does not have the so-called traditional Chinese drama' The victory of justice over evil's simple routine, but the absolute obedience of the characters and the plot, which has surpassed most of the works, and what is really refreshing is the development of his martial arts theme, the director skillfully grasps the sense of distance between reality and imagination, on the one hand, it depicts an antique and bizarre world of rivers and lakes, on the other hand, it is different from the martial arts characters in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" that completely exceed reality in the past, and know how to control and reserve in imagination, so as not to be exaggerated and absurd.

It is this ingenious sense of distance that weakens the absurdity and unreality of the story, and also strengthens the audience's identification with the world, just like the great Stanley Kubrick said: "The characters and plots of the play, the twists and turns of the story, the grotesque characters, and the forms of action are not 'natural', but they are not unreasonable." They can transport us to another world, so that we can temporarily break free from the constraints of daily practical life, and concentrate on the form of beauty without hindrance.

Although the treatment of martial arts and history in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is unique, it is not unique, but it is not unique in one point, that is, in the process of transforming from fiction to video, it inadvertently constructs a kind of embroidered image beauty similar to that only found in literature.

Just looking at the beginning, he already has the beauty of Middle-earth that does not belong to Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings", although it can be seen that the two are very different, but if you look at the subtleties of "The Lord of the Rings", you can find a striking similarity.

In order to reproduce the fictional "Middle-earth" and "Jianghu World" in their hearts, these two directors both raised the importance of modeling to the characters to the same level as the meritorious career of character ability, which is like although no one knows what a knight was like in the Middle Ages, but when a person appears with his head held high in rusty silver armor, a metal helmet, and a thin silver iron sword pinned to his waist, you will think that he is a knight in your heart, and this is the impression magic of embroidered beauty.

Why do you emphasize the importance of character modeling? Because there is no blank space in TV like literature, white space is elegant and pure, but it is not easy for the general public to understand. There is always a period of time between the characters in the play, to play a role, to show their personalities, to create events, and in order to keep the audience excited and not cold, it is necessary to strengthen the attractiveness of the shape and strengthen the persuasiveness of the characters, which is very simple to say, but not many artists can do this, for example, can you distinguish who the different dwarves in "The Lord of the Rings" are?

But what is surprising is that in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the color of each character's clothes, the style of the armor, the light and shade of the pattern, the texture of the material, and the complexity of the accessories are all consistent with the character's personality and experience.

Among them, when the 'Jiangnan Seven Monsters' appeared, it was even more amazing...... These seven guys with different shapes don't even need to say lines, I know that they are different~~

Poetry and poetry are two different things. The poem must have a work, and the poem must be accidentally shot into a specific form, so that others can see it~~ The same is true of imagination, reality and imagination are two different things after all, and the pirate TV station actually painted this long scroll and created these realities, and I couldn't help but be in awe...... All in all, Li Xiaole is simply fantastic. ”

Li Xiaole was lying on the bed, looking at these comments, there was a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, he could finally be sure that this North American expedition for him, for the Hong Kong film and television industry, and even for the entire Chinese film and television was successful...... Because he simply did not have the confidence to gain a foothold in North America through Chinese works.

And all these years have passed, after "The Walking Dead", "Sherlock", "Life of Pi", he finally reached the realm of directing that he never thought of, and technically he has the support of Apple, a powerful technology group, and in terms of contacts, he has the full support of Hollywood friends who have worked hard for many years.

He is now completely creating his own works, which is not only a technological progress, but an inner understanding of the spirit of the story, the more stories he shoots, the more he finds out what is the things that move him deeply in his heart, which are the indelible marks of his childhood memories, and martial arts is definitely one of the most impressive.

He injected all the things he wanted to express in his heart, the imaginary power of chivalry, into every shot, and he could feel that his power was changing people's hearts, and this feeling flowed freely in his heart, which was really wonderful.

In the years when he was not a happy child, his heart was once Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen, Guo Jing, Qiao Feng, these glorious knights, so the power that exuded warmth shone on his lonely heart, let him know his most basic principles of living in this world, and realized what is the true meaning of life, and now in retrospect, he feels very lucky......

And now, he has to inherit these once bathed in the brilliance of his heart, through his hands, all the feelings and charms that he has felt, experienced, and inspired him, and now appear in front of people's eyes decades later, so that they are also nourished by these long-lasting brilliance, he wants to know to people all over the world that martial arts will never die~~!

Quietly feel the power of inner peace and silence surging slightly, growing...... Li Xiaole slowly fell asleep on the soft bed with his eyes closed, recalling the best times of his childhood, and falling asleep leisurely and quietly...... Entering his next dream, he listened to the sound of basketballs hitting the ground in the gymnasium......
