Sun Ziming and his entourage worked non-stop to promote in Japan, and they also fully saw the madness of Japanese fans, whenever Miho Nakayama and Masahiko Kondo appeared, crying, laughing, and screaming endlessly. Looking at the radiant Miho Zhongshan and the somewhat depressed Li Lianjie, Sun Ziming leaned into his ear and whispered: "Isn't it a little psychologically lost, a little jealous of others?" ”

Li Lianjie also let Yuan Mei come out of training, the depression on his face was swept away, and a professional smile floated, Sun Ziming continued to joke: "Brother Jie, if this film can enter North America, people will look up to you." ”

Li Lianjie replied in a low voice, "I hope"

In the blink of an eye, the film premiere day arrived, and the red carpet was rolled out in front of the Ginza Cinema in Tokyo, and the staff of Toho Co., Ltd. and Ginza Cinema began to set up early. In the past few years, the "Home Alone" series, "God of Gamblers" series, "Butcher on a Rainy Night", "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" and "Flying Tiger" released in June have triggered a frenzy of movie-watching frenzy among fans.

Sun Ziming also asked Miho Nakayama in the hotel to explain some Japanese habits, such as keeping quiet, not smoking in the movie theater, not moving around at will, making noises...... "Do you understand?" Now you represent the image of the company, and in general, the image of our Hong Kong filmmakers. ”

"Understood"

Sun Ziming restrained a cadre of artists to pay attention to their image in Tokyo, and Wang Fatzi, who hosted the premiere in Hong Kong, stood in front of the big screen and surrounded by reporters.

Reporter: Director Sun put the premiere of "Jingwu Heroes" in Tokyo, did he have the idea of pleasing Japanese audiences?

Wang Fat Man sweated profusely, where did this paparazzi come from, the action of wiping sweat attracted laughter from the audience in the theater.

There is no such meaning, Ziming means that if Chinese films want to go out of Hong Kong and Greater China, they must pay attention to foreign markets. We are a film company in Hong Kong, but our goal is to become the light and shadow company of Asia and the light and shadow company of the world. ”

Reporter: Brother Jing, do you expect "Jingwu Hero" to break the box office record of "God of Gamblers 2"?

Wang Jing: I really don't know this, "Gunfire" I expected to hit the streets, and as a result, it sold 4.8 billion yen in Japan, and now Europe and North America are talking about distribution.

Reporter: Director Wang, "Tomb Raider 3" is scheduled to premiere tomorrow, are you confident that it will surpass it at the box office?

Wang Fatzi is really sweating this time, I have seen this film myself, the film is a beautiful and good film with connotation, but it does not use the family hatred and national feud that ordinary fans like the most common to promote the story, but instead uses the real history that is almost cruel to promote. If you want to get a high box office, it is estimated that only Mazu knows.

"You have to ask Ziming and Sanmao about this, I can't guess."

After Wang Fatzi answered a few questions, Gao Ying next to him looked at his watch and announced the end of answering reporters' questions, "I'm sorry, everyone, our screening is synchronized with Tokyo, three minutes later, please watch the film from the audience and friends." ”

In the Ginza Cinema in Tokyo, Sun Tzu Mingyi and others also finished interacting with the audience, with a few bright red lip prints on their faces, and got off the stage amid the goodwill laughter of the audience. After receiving the tissue handed over by the staff, Sun Ziming thanked him and quickly wiped off the lipstick marks on his face, this Japanese female fan is too wild. Fortunately, he was much stronger than Kondo Masahiko, and the kid's face became a red cloth.

A minute later, the lights in the cinema dimmed, and after a quick flash of the logo (logo) of the Light and Shadow Company and Toho Co., Ltd., five big characters appeared on the screen: 'Sun Tzuming's works'.

The movie begins, and the ten-minute Tokyo exterior is as exquisite as in the promotional video, where Chen Zhen and his classmate's sister Mitsuko meet and fall in love in the cherry blossom rain in Waseda. The pure and beautiful photon accompanied Chen Zhen to study and work, and the Tokyo street scene at the beginning of the century made many Japanese audiences feel nostalgic.

Chen Zhen learned from the newspaper that the master died in the ring, and he was overwhelmed with grief. His classmate Kondo (Mitsuko's elder brother) doubted the fairness of the duel, because he knew the karate master Akutagawa, and Chen Zhen's strength was far stronger than Akutagawa, and his master could not lose.

Accompanied by Kondo and Mitsuko, Chen Zhen returned to Shanghai, and after worshipping the master, he went to the Hongkou Dojo to challenge. Chen Zhen, who defeated Akutagawa with three punches and two kicks, ignored the opposition of his fellow disciples led by Huo Tingen, and took Kondo to open the coffin for an autopsy. The Japanese Kondo used modern chemistry to confirm that Huo Yuanjia was indeed poisoned and died, but Chen Zhen was opposed by his peers, so he had to take Photon to guard the spirit of his master.

At Chen Zhen's request, Kondo learned the truth about Huo Yuanjia's death after some inquiry, and that it was a gambling game set up by the Shanghai branch of the Black Dragon Society with extremely high odds, and secretly poisoned it in order to make huge profits.

Fujita, the big leader of the Black Dragon Society, saw that the conspiracy was exposed, and Fumio Funakoshi, the head of the head coach from the headquarters, refused to fight openly, and in a fit of rage, he killed Akutagawa and blamed Chen Zhen. Fortunately, Photon's testimony in court saved Chen Zhen from prison, but it also completely pushed him to the opposite side of the Chinese people.

Soon, Fujita Tsuyoshi challenged Jingwumen, and the two sides engaged in a thrilling decisive battle.

Chen Zhen, who won the final victory, did not receive the treatment of a hero, but was overjoyed by the onlookers, so he had to leave the Hongkou Dojo with Mitsuko and Kondo in silence.

In the midst of the media's spurning, Chen Zhen took Photon on a ship to Europe to find the truth he was looking for to save the country.

Huo Tingen, who came to his senses, caught up with Chen Zhen who was about to leave at the dock.

Chen Zhen refused Huo Dongjue's retention, "Senior brother, the weakness of the Chinese people is not their physique but their minds. If Japan can learn from Europe and the United States and develop so quickly, Europe and the United States will definitely have a reason for us to save the country. This is what I went to learn this way. ”

……

The next day, newspapers large and small in Japan reported the premiere of "Jingwu Heroes", and even TV stations broadcast the movie-watching frenzy brought by the movie.

'The Concept of the Times Contained Behind the Movie'——— "Yomai News"

This is the best kung fu movie since Bruce Lee, there is no doubt about that. The beautiful picture, the pathos that is not understood by the compatriots, and the wonderful action design well reflect the directing level of Mr. Sun Ziming.

If you put aside these things, in this film that contains an ununderstood and out-of-time heroic story, but in fact it explores the spirit of martial arts and the spirit of the times, the biggest feeling that brings me is the renewal of the concept of the times, which is not seen in previous Hong Kong kung fu films. A more contemporary, pragmatic concept of advancing with the times, and learning from advanced civilization has been well explored in this film, that is: the spirit of learning and the spirit of pragmatism.

In the film, the actor Chen Zhen talked about the words "fighting" and "learning" many times, but did not stick to "martial arts" and "national hatred".

Let's talk about 'fighting' first, Chen Zhen focuses on practical results, and abandons flashy martial arts moves.

In front of Huo Yuanjia's tomb, Chen Zhen had a confrontation with the head of the Black Dragon Society, and he actually defeated Xiu Wei.

The gloomy departure of Huo Yuanjia and Fumio Funakoshi, who represent the old concept, also represents a conceptual replacement in the ontology of martial arts. People who emphasize the concept of martial arts of spirit and cultivation are no longer the strongest in modern fighting. As Fumio Funakoshi said in front of Huo Yuanjia's tomb, the easiest and most effective way to knock people down is to use a pistol, and they put more emphasis on ideological action.

This is a metaphor that the Confucian culture, which represents personal cultivation, is, in a sense, unable to keep up with the rapid development of the times. If we want to keep up with this ever-changing world, we must learn from developed countries.

'Study', Japan comprehensively learned from Britain and quickly developed into a great power in Chen Zhen's mouth. Today, Mr. Sun Ziming uses Chen Zhen's mouth, isn't he expressing the pragmatism of their generation of young Chinese? If you can't beat it, you have to learn, and only by learning from the advanced of others can you make yourself strong.

……

The comments of the entertainment media, under the public relations of Toho Co., Ltd., gave Li Lianjie the title of "Kung Fu Emperor".

'Unsurpassable Classics' – Asahi Shimbun

Mr. Sun Ziming and Mr. Li Lianjie, the 'Emperor of Kung Fu', have teamed up to reinterpret for everyone, what is an action movie, let's take a look at the wonderful action scenes of this movie.

1. Chen Zhen and Kondo beat the Black Dragon Club gangsters, this fight scene is not long, and the actions are very simple, but the movements of the two people are clean and fierce, and the moves hit the key points, which changes the elegant and chic pursued by traditional Hong Kong movies, which makes people shine.

Second, a kicking scene in front of Huo Yuanjia Lingtang is always a confrontation of traditional martial arts, although Huo Tingen, who represents the essence of traditional martial arts, won the kicking hall, but the process was not easy, especially when he had an advantage, he pursued moves too much and was almost reversed.

3. Chen Zhen's Battle of Kicking the Gym, this is an enhanced version of the first melee battle, which highlights the anti-traditional nature of Chen Zhen's fighting skills, most of which are the pursuit of one move to defeat the enemy, without more than one move, and even the move of picking the mouth, which is a challenge to the aesthetics of traditional martial arts.

Fourth, within the Jingwu Sect, Huo Tingen's traditional martial arts and Chen Zhen's overseas combat martial arts duel, in this duel, the traditional martial arts were defeated, and the simple and lethal fighting made the traditional martial arts have no power to parry at all, and they were quickly defeated.

Next is the most exciting one, in front of Huo Yuanjia's tomb, Chen Zhen and Funakoshi Fumio a duel, this is a martial arts dialogue, Chen Zhen received inspiration in this duel, improved his martial arts realm, and laid the groundwork for the final fight against Fujita Gang.

The last fight between Chen Zhen and Fujita Gang is closer to actual combat, as the former light and middleweight free fighting world champion Hong Kong boxing champion Zhou Billy played Fujita Gang, fully exerted his free fighting characteristics, but Chen Zhen has just undergone a qualitative change in martial arts, integrating traditional martial arts and fighting, and defeated Fujita Gang.
