"The Grandmaster" is a pure-blooded Beacon Country movie, the painting style is very characteristic of Beacon Country blockbusters, and the colors are also the warm colors that director McGerwell is used to.

The movie begins at night in an old restaurant in Chinatown.

Square wooden table benches, exquisite.

The restaurant owner is wiping the table in a long shirt and horse coat, and the first thing that many fans think of is Huo Yuanjia, but he doesn't have braids.

The one who plays the restaurant owner is, of course, Fan Wenqiang.

At this time, a customer came in.

Fan Wenqiang glanced up and greeted with a smile: "I'm sorry, our store is closed, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Naturally, he spoke English with a strong accent, but the subtitles were bilingual. Although this movie is not released in China, the producers still take into account some Chinese who do not know foreign languages, which can be said to be very attentive.

Audiences don't find it strange to speak English, after all, the movie is set in a foreign country.

The people who came were dressed in black tracksuits and hoods. When she slowly took off her hat to reveal her full face, there was a close-up of the picture, a blonde and blue-eyed, youthful and beautiful woman.

"Chen Tian? (Chen Tian)" the woman asked tentatively.

Fan Wenqiang saw that she was not here to eat, so he couldn't help but stop what he was doing, and looked up at her curiously: "It's me." ”

The woman smiled, ran forward excitedly, took out a folded envelope from her pocket and handed it to him, and introduced herself: "My name is Anna Blanchett, and it was your brother who recommended me to you. ”

Fan Wenqiang opened the envelope and looked at it, and the screen was slightly swept, and he could see that it was a Chinese letter of introduction written with a brush, and the specific content could not be seen clearly, but he could see the three large letters written on the title, "Letter of Introduction".

"My senior brother asked you to come and learn kung fu from me?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't he teach you himself?"

"Chen Li said that you are better than him, and you can learn more from you."

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to work now, you can go back." Fan Wenqiang stuffed the letter of introduction back into the envelope and handed it back to her.

"Why? Chen Tian ...... "Anna grabbed his wrist and suddenly attacked, and the two of them exchanged two moves in the restaurant using Chinese kung fu.

Fan Wenqiang used Tai Chi, and with the last push, he pushed Anna to the bench and sat down firmly.

Then he walked towards the backyard with a rag.

"Chen Tian, you obviously know kung fu!" Anna also recovered from the shock just now and shouted at Fan Wenqiang.

"Let's go back." Fan Wenqiang didn't know how to do it, so he pulled the door shut with his backhand.

"Chen Tian, I won't give up!" Anna shouted again, then looked behind her, hesitated to make a bed out of the table, and fell asleep in the restaurant.

The subsequent development of the plot is basically that Anna pestered Fan Wenqiang to learn kung fu, but Fan Wenqiang refused to teach her, and interacted from time to time to play a few tricks and pretend to be 13. Anna didn't have the money to stay in a hotel, so she stayed in a restaurant. Fan Wenqiang didn't chase her because she was introduced by her senior brother, and provided her with food, but asked her to wash the dishes.

Later, Anna gradually enlightened, and seemed to understand something from Fan Wenqiang's daily actions, and began to imitate and steal learning, using bowls as props to play Tai Chi, and broke many bowls for this.

The style of the whole movie is still a bit light-hearted and funny.

Then one night, Fan Wenqiang asked Anna why she wanted to learn kung fu. So began the classic memory kill-

It turned out that her father was an underground black boxer, and as a result, he died in the ring during a fight, and then later, the creditor came to the door, and when Anna had no money to repay the debt and was forced to pay it, she was rescued by Chen Li who was passing by. Chen Li said that she had a hidden qi in her body, and she was a wizard who practiced martial arts, but unfortunately she was too old to learn. But she still insisted on learning kung fu from Chen Li because she wanted to protect herself. Chen Li taught her kung fu, but it didn't take long for the creditor to come to the door again, saying that he would either pay back the money, or pay for it, or let her finish the few fights that her father hadn't finished fighting. Chen Li said that he wanted to finish the ring for her, but she disagreed with the stubbornness and decided to learn kung fu by herself to finish her father's remaining few rings. So Chen Li helped her reason and communicate with the creditor, saying that anyway, she is so good now, and she will lose money in the ring, so it is better to give her a little time to upgrade and upgrade, if she runs away, Chen Li will replace her in the ring. In the end, the creditor naturally agreed, and Chen Li asked her to come to Chen Tian (Fan Wenqiang), because the qi hidden in her body could only be stimulated by Fan Wenqiang, who was more powerful than Chen Li, and only by stimulating this qi could she become stronger.

That's probably the ins and outs.

As for the "Chi" (Chi) hidden in Anna's body, Chen Li also explained it in the movie.

This qi is an energy field created by the earth, which surrounds and permeates us, and has the power to condense the earth, and this qi is called "yin".

And some people still have a breath of qi in their body, which is called "yang". It is innate, and it can be stimulated by practicing kung fu, yin and yang are one, and heaven and man are inducted, so that all kinds of leapfrog challenges, one to ten.

To put it simply, the positive and negative poles are turned on and energized.

This is the ultimate meaning of Chinese Kung Fu!

A group of Chinese fans in the cinema were dumbfounded: I see! How do we not know?

But what really made Huaguo fans confused was not only that, as the plot of the movie progressed, Fan Wenqiang's memory killing also began-

It turned out that he was young and frivolous and felt that he could fight invincible opponents all over the world, so he challenged everywhere, from Huaguo all the way to the lighthouse country, and his opponent's fate became more and more miserable, and even people were often killed by him in the end. Then one day he heard that there was a master in the temple who was very powerful, so he ran over to challenge him, but he was defeated by the master. So he stayed near the Taoist temple, practiced hard every day and then failed repeatedly. The master taught him every time, telling him that the true meaning of kung fu is not to defeat opponents, but to defeat oneself. But he didn't listen, and he didn't understand, and finally one time, the old master lost, but he was beaten to death by his wrong punch. Later, he learned from his apprentice that the master was sick, but he didn't want to disappoint him, so he still insisted on competing with him. After knowing the truth, he was very remorseful, and since then he has retired and stopped competing with others, and has gone to open a restaurant to make a living.

The fight scene in this memory killing is much better than Anna's, it is directed by Fan Wenqiang, and it continues the martial arts style of Tomahawk Pictures' kung fu films, which makes people feel hearty to watch.

But this director seems to have confused Huaguo and JP Guo, every time Fan Wenqiang and the old Taoist priest compete indoors, the old Taoist priest is wearing socks and kneeling on the futon, and there is a word "forbearance" hanging in the Taoist temple, and it is estimated that there is no sense of disobedience when the robe is replaced by a taekwondo uniform.

There are also those didactic lines, which look very strange to Chinese people, completely based on foreign language semantics, and even some coconut tree teachings. Maybe it's to make it easier for foreigners to understand, but for Chinese fans, it's really confusing to watch.

"What the hell is this?"
