Chapter 272 doesn't shoot martial arts, shoots rivers and lakes

Wen Yi's new film has attracted much attention, and for those pervasive media reporters and gossip paparazzi, once any news comes out, everyone will immediately know it the next day. Worth collecting......

Where there is demand, there is supply. As the saying goes, demand determines the market. Gossip news, too.

Wen Yi first invited the best art directors in the Chinese film circle, and then invited the best cinematographers in the Chinese film industry, and even the best action directors, which undoubtedly formed a strong team.

Of course, whether it was inviting Ye Tian or inviting Bao Zhong, he didn't think in the direction of big moves at the beginning. I thought it was because after Wen Yi filmed "Kung Fu" before, he felt the shortcomings of his subordinates, and wanted to borrow a new film to let his subordinates learn from Ye Tian and Bao Zhong. Of course, although the action director Wen Yi is also extremely good now, his style is not as changeable as Yuan Dian.

What's more, among Wenyi's Jiayi companies, apart from him, there are few action directors who can do it.

Obviously, Wen Yi is already thinking about cultivating his own team. It is estimated that the lack of talents in Jiayi's exhibition is no longer a problem that can be solved by digging people into the corners.

After all, you can't do too much of this kind of thing. It can only solve the urgent need, and to cure the root cause, it is necessary to cultivate a group of loyal talents by itself.

The person who digs the corner of the wall, you can dig it from other places, and others can also dig it from you!

The strength of the behind-the-scenes production staff only caught the attention of filmmakers. They can guess from Wen Yi's move that his new film is likely to have a big move. But most people still think about developing new people.

And make a big move. It is not impossible to train new people at the same time, but it is extremely possible.

But. What makes fans speculate is undoubtedly the news that one actor after another has joined.

Lin Yuyan and Yuan Fang will join Wenyi's new film. This undoubtedly directly made this film starry. Whether it is Lin Yuyan or Yuan Fang, at this time she is no longer the actress who struggled in the second and third lines or even behind the scenes.

They have already stepped into the front line, and they are even one of the most popular actresses. is also a few actresses who have gone abroad and made some achievements internationally. Many media outlets directly added them the title of "international superstar".

Of course, this international superstar. But it's just talking about it in China. to a foreign country. But it doesn't go into the stream.

Needless to say, Lin Yuyan naturally became popular all over Asia with "My Sassy Girlfriend", and also gained some fame in Europe and the United States with "Resident Evil".

As for Yuan Fang, "Resident Evil" also has her share. Although it is not as good as Lin Yuyan, it still leaves a great impression. Then "Mulan" still achieved good results internationally, and its fame gradually grew. Of course, let her be noticed by some film and television companies in Hollywood, naturally because of his performance in "Kung Fu".

In "Kung Fu", the most brilliant is naturally the protagonist played by Wen Yi. The second is the villain played by Jason. And then there was Yuan Fang and Wang Li.

Wang Li is now not as popular as Lin Yuyan and Yuan Fang in Huaxia. But it's not the same thing. After all, "Kung Fu" and "The Expendables", two films that cooperate with Hollywood, have good performances. Although it will not be given the title of "international superstar" by the media to Lin Yuyan and Yuan Fang, they are internationally famous. is much stronger than some domestic first-line stars.

Of course, the determination of these three people has excited countless fans. The joining of Li Long, a real international superstar in China, directly made countless fans enthusiastic. After all, the first three are the signed artists of Wenyi's Jiayi Company. When they appear in Wen Yi's film, no one will guess that he really has any big moves.

However, the addition of Li Long. It's hard to get people not to think big.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! The name of this film, but this person's name is reminiscent of Wang Dulu's novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 41 of the last century!

There is still Wang Dulu in this world, and even martial arts masters such as Jin Yong and Gulong have zài, and even their classic works are also zài. Comparatively speaking, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is much less famous than their works.

Maybe it's really because of the fact that the fame is much worse, so many martial arts films have been made badly, but this novel has not been changed.

The actors of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are almost confirmed. Li Long, an international superstar, plays the male protagonist Li Mubai, while Yuan Fang plays Yu Xiulian and Lin Yuyan plays Yu Jiaolong. And the other supporting actor, Luo Xiaohu, is played by Wen Yi himself.

There is no way, Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong have a lot of intimate scenes in the film, which makes Lin Yuyan very entangled in whether to accept or not. In the end, he made a request to Wen Yi, that is, either find a stand-in, or let him Wen Yi play Luo Xiaohu.

, Wen Yi was a little overwhelmed, but deep down, he didn't seem to want to see Lin Yuyan have any intimate scenes with anyone. He can't control other films, but he still doesn't want to make his own films.

Of course, this may be an excuse he made for himself.

Let's act! Maybe starring by himself can also bring good expectations to the box office. What's more, Wen Yi himself did not find a suitable candidate. Wen Yi likes directors more than actors, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like acting.

In the film, strictly speaking, there is no one who plays the leading role and who plays a supporting role. Just like in the previous life, you said that Yu Jiaolong is the starring role and Yu Xiulian is a supporting role, but among the many nominated awards, the heroine is nominated for Michelle Yeoh, but the supporting actress is Zhang Ziyi.

But in terms of scenes, Yu Jiaolong does have more than Yu Xiulian, and the conflict in the main story line also plays a great role. Who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role, can you make it clear?

To put it bluntly, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has no obvious protagonist, nor does it have obvious emotional tendencies, and the director always narrates the story from a relatively neutral perspective, which makes the film appear calmer, even if the final tragic ending, there is no excessive emotional catharsis.

The audience may feel that it is not easy to enter the play, but this perspective allows us to avoid the embarrassment of "not knowing the true face of Lushan, only because we are in this mountain", which provides convenience for the perspective of the deep meaning behind the story.

Wen Yi filmed martial arts films, which surprised many people, but it was expected. If Wen Yi is not unexpected, then he is not Wen Yi.

However, when Wen Yi was interviewed at the screening of "The Expendables" in North America, he was asked if he was filming a martial arts film, but he gave a negative promise.

He filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and it is also based on the martial arts novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But he said that he was not filming martial arts, but rivers and lakes. This is difficult for many to understand.

"My film does not have the arrogance of smiling at the rivers and lakes of ordinary martial arts films, but instead has a deep contemplation and subtlety of looking for the humanistic connotation of the rivers and lakes. There is no narrow sense of martial arts films, is it still a martial arts film? So it's not so much that I'm shooting martial arts, it's better to say that I'm shooting rivers and lakes! ”

These are Wen Yi's exact words. But it also makes many people not understand. And those who understand all praise Wenyi for their cleverness. Everyone knows that martial arts films have been filmed too much, and there has been a trend of being shot badly. Moreover, those films are undoubtedly starting in a narrow sense, and the films are full of heroism.

Starting from different aspects, it is obvious that Wen Yi wants to shoot a new idea.

In fact, the story thread in the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is indeed different from the general martial arts works that are endlessly fighting between good and evil, the conflict between Li Mubai and the blue-eyed fox is indeed about good and evil chivalry, but this conflict has been simplified and is no longer the whole center of the story, on the contrary, the conflict between Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and Jade Jiaolong has become a very important clue, and behind this clue, it is actually the collision of two concepts of rivers and lakes:

Li Mubai has experienced the vicissitudes of life, knows that the rivers and lakes are not a place to escape from the world, and he can't abandon the sword, but the jade dragon is a newborn calf, and sees the rivers and lakes as a place to escape from reality and be happy with enmity.

Of course, the conflict between Li Mubai and the closed-eyed fox is not only about good and evil, but also about grievances and hatred!

Don't shoot martial arts, shoot rivers and lakes. But in the eyes of many fans, is there a lack of narrow sense in the rivers and lakes? (To be continued.) (。 ))
