"Su Qier" and "Jin Yiwei" two martial arts giants will be released at the same time as the Spring Festival file. The duel between Yuan Heping and his disciple Yen Zidan has long been the focus of media discussion. Just as "Jinyiwei" was about to be released, "Su Qier" was also screened in Beijing on February 2nd.

As the first director of "The World's No. 1 Wuzhi" Yuan Heping after his return from Hollywood, "Su Qier" is very exciting. Since he wanted to compete with his apprentice, Yuan Heping naturally came prepared, and the killer he specially prepared was 3D. 3D technology is the experience that Yuan Heping has learned from his many years of traveling in Hollywood, although he claimed in an exclusive interview with Netease Entertainment that "Hollywood learns more from me than I learn from them", and he has always insisted on being a hard bridge, hard horse and fist. Style, but when the special effects technology can really enhance the style of Kung Fu, the "No. 1 Wuzhi in the World" is not far behind. As the first 3D Kung Fu blockbuster, "Su Qier" is a pioneer in filling the gap in this field in China. As long as the audience wears the 3D glasses, they can experience the excitement as if they are on the scene watching a master's moves, every punch and every foot is like kicking themselves.

3D technology is the first of its kind Kung Fu

Yuen Wo Ping will use him in Hollywood learn advanced technology and experience to this new work among the build-up of innovative filming techniques and strong production capabilities to achieve the initiative's first 3D Chinese kung fu movies. Due to the relationship between funds and time, "Su Qier" is not a complete 3D movie, but an experimental two-stage martial arts in the film into a 3D effect. When the final battle between Wanfoya hard training and Su Can Yuan Lie was staged, a small glasses logo appeared in the upper right corner of the screen to remind the audience to wear 3D glasses. Afterwards, the audience can see a three-dimensional world of kung fu, not only the layers between the characters and the background are obvious, but even the details of clothing, hair, weapons, etc. are also vivid. However, because the two fights are not done in one go, especially the N chapters of literary play are interspersed in the middle of the Wanfoya part, so the audience needs to wear glasses from time to time, which is very troublesome. However, as the first exploration of 3D Kung Fu movies, although "Su Qier" is just a taste, it also made a good start for the development of domestic 3D blockbusters in the future. I believe that with the development of technology and the accumulation of experience, the audience will be able to better experience the real feeling of fist.

Add the elements of hip-hop, play with new ideas

Although Yuan Heping said that "The No. 1 Wuzhi in the World" is just a fictitious name, it is reflected in the movie that the martial arts designed by the "No. 1 in the World" is indeed unusual. Yuan Heping’s action style is not as elegant as Cheng Xiaodong, and not as strong as Liu Jialiang, but his biggest feature is that he likes to borrow force. Any action is powerful and will not completely break away from gravity. Therefore, although it looks gorgeous, it will not be distorted. . The same is true in "Su Qier", the reversal and movement are all "reasonable and well-founded." "Drunk Boxing" is originally a kung fu with erratic movements. It pays attention to "being drunk and not drunk" and "no tricks to win." This time, Yuan Heping not only removed many tricks he designed for Jackie Chan when he was shooting "Drunken Fist", and pursued more speed, but also ingeniously incorporated street dance into it, giving the action a touch of softness.

The plot is copied from "Fearless Fearless" and

"Su Qier" screenwriter Du Zhilang is also the screenwriter of Jet Li's work "Fearless", and this time he was too lazy to copy the original story almost intact. From the beginning of Su Can’s youthful vigor, he talked about being shot down the Yellow River, and then he realized the highest state of martial arts while he was recovering in a paradise. Su Qier's life path in the movie is almost the same as Huo Yuanjia's, and even the bridge section of the competition with foreign Hercules is copied. In "Huo Yuanjia", Jet Li was inexplicably flowed from Tianjin to the south, and in "Su Qier" Zhao Wenzhuo traveled a long distance from Guangdong to Heilongjiang for no reason. It is doubtful whether the screenwriter did not learn Chinese geography well, and thought this was it. Walk from Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong to Kowloon Tong? As far as innovation is concerned, the film can be described as lackluster and lacking sincerity.
