"Heroes of Jingwu" is the second part of the Jet Li series. The first one is "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard"? Since the release of "Elite Wumen" in 1972, Bruce Lee has been imitated as the first generation of Chen Zhen, and then successively There have been five or six editions of "Chen Zhen", Liang Xiaolong in 1981, Jet Li in 1994, Donnie Yen in 1995, Chen Xiaochun in 2008, and Stephen Chow's tribute in "The King of Comedy". Among these versions, in addition to the Jet Li version, the others are more imitating Bruce Lee, with Bruce Lee's breath on him, whether it's an action or a group act. Because I didn't read all these versions of the works, I just read the various versions of "One-on-one Hongkou Dojo" collected by others. I feel that I have my preferences. The screenwriter of "Jingwumen" is Ni Kuang. The name "Chen Zhen" was seen in the list of apprentices in Huo Yuanjia's obituary. He was chosen because he thought it sounded good. Therefore, Chen Zhen really has this person, but the story is made up. Screenwriter + Director Chen Jiashang, because he himself is a fan of Bruce Lee, when he conceived of "Heroes of Heroes", he stood in a tribute angle, thinking about how to shoot it for Bruce Lee. Therefore, the whole film does not have one of Bruce Lee's iconic moves, but there are Bruce Lee's philosophical thoughts everywhere, his Jeet Kune Do, and his physical training methods. I think this is really great, and this attitude is the correct way to "pay tribute"~ At the same time, Chen Jiashang also gave Chen Zhen the status of an international student based on the background of the times, allowing him to learn advanced knowledge; In terms of martial arts, it is inclusive, integrates the martial arts of other countries, reforms the shortcomings of traditional martial arts, and makes it more practical. Create a Chen Zhen in his ideal, and let Chen Zhen shoulder the task of making China stronger. On the basis of Bruce Lee's version of Chen Zhen, the setting of "national hero" is further deepened. However, the core of the expression of the two films is different, or the proportion is different, after all, the shooting years are different. Comparing Bruce Lee and Jet Li's Chen Zhen, the emotional expression of the two is very different. Bruce Lee, more externalized, has a strong sense of drama in his performance, and his facial expressions are very exaggerated. His anger, pain, and even the pain of his opponent being beaten are all conveyed through his expressions and actions. But Bruce Lee's performance is exceptional, that is, he can only do it, and if others do it, it will probably not be accepted. That's it~ Jet Li's version, on the contrary, is more restrained and restrained. Sadness, pain and anger are all sullen. When smiling happily, the corners of the eyebrows, eyes and mouth are curved. There is almost no such expression as laughter, which is very traditional. Chinese male character. But, that's not to say he's expressionless! The Hongkou Dojo was brutally beaten. The court heard witnesses give false testimony and rolled their eyes. Uncle Nong reminded him to pay attention to Tingen's doubts and his expression when chatting with Guangguang (I don't know how to describe this), and he was frequently interrupted before the fight with Fumio Funakoshi. His heart is restless...and found that I liked his eye scene very much. 2021.10.17, there was a sentence in my thoughts after reading the writing, saying, I played really well, I felt it hurt when I saw it. ?In the interview with director Chen Jiashang later, I mentioned that this is the "real" he wants. It is true that the final picture gave the audience a very strong sense of pain, and the feeling of blow between the actors was also very real, punching to the flesh (pain). I've watched it so many times that I still need to block the screen in some places, because it's too painful to watch. During the filming, the martial artist was injured, and another batch continued. It was still NG. The eighth master was still dissatisfied, and then he kept repeating. Chen Jiashang was scared when he saw it? work, injuries are part of their job. This sounds quite sad. Some time ago, there was a documentary called "Dragon Tiger Martial Artist", which was about their line of work. I wanted to watch it, but there were very few films, and it was soon finished. There are three key scenes in the film 1. The episode between Chen Zhen and Huo Tingen lasted two minutes and forty seconds and took four or five days to shoot. Qian Xiaohao said that it went very smoothly. This piece of performance of traditional martial arts and modern fighting, I was not used to seeing Jet Li's butterfly step jumping boxing gestures at first, after all, I saw that he passed on a lot of martial arts, but after watching them play super coherently in one go, I feel like I can't breathe. It's fine, hahahaha. There is a paragraph here, Ting En tripped Chen Zhen with a hooked leg, and Chen Zhen, who was tripped, supported the ground with one hand and kicked Ting En's head with one hand, so handsome! Because it was a real kick, Qian Xiaohao said that he felt dizzy when he was kicked. Really fight~ 2. Chen Zhen vs Funakoshi Fumio was played for nearly five minutes and filmed for seventeen days. It is mainly divided into two parts. The first half of Fen Yue learned from Chen Zhen that "if you win, it is a good punch" to fight him, and the second half is blindfolded. They looked so happy. In fact, this passage is more about the true meaning of martial arts. It was Fumio Funakoshi who mentioned Chen Zhen. 3. Chen Zhen vs Fujita Go has ten minutes and took nearly a month to shoot. When I watched it, I felt that this period of time was quite long, but it turned out to be only ten minutes. It can be seen how difficult it was and how much content it had. There are generally four rounds, and Chen Zhen plays in different ways in each round, which can reflect the characteristics of Chen Zhen's flexibility and integration. There is also a strong fighting ability. Every time Fujita saw Chen Zhen who was beaten down by himself, he was surprised to get up. Especially at the end of the second round, he looked surprised, as if he was in OS: Can he still get up? Putting my hands on the floor and taking over the joints also surprised me, and the two of them were sweating. Every time Chen Zhen took a deep breath and stood up, the state was so real that he really held his breath and fought! In the end, as soon as Fujita drew the knife, Chen Zhen pulled the belt, it hurts to death... But the belt is so handsome! I thought it was special when the belt wrapped around the knife at the end. I used to be really serious about filming, keep improving, and pursue innovation. It is this spirit that makes classics and boutiques possible. I like both versions of "One-on-one Hongkou Dojo". I don't think anyone who has watched Bruce Lee's version is not impressed by his passage, the rhythm is very catchy. And Li Lianjie, is the kind of anger and movement of the anger and the simplicity of my heart, yeah, yeah, yeah, handsome to fly ~ "Jingwu Heroes", Huoxine and Chen Zhen feelings, Chen Zhenyi Back, the two looked at each other inside and outside the house and nodded. Uncle Nong didn't let Chen Zhen wear hemp and filial piety, but Ting En made a rescue and helped Chen Zhen tie his headband. Chen Zhen was angry and broke the word "forbearance" and was scolded by Uncle Nong, and Ting En spoke for Chen Zhen. After appearing on the stage for so long, before Chen Zhen said anything, Ting En said a lot for him. Later, because Chen Zhen's new training method was very popular in the martial arts gym, and some people even went to the gym and wanted to learn boxing from him, Ting En felt a little uncomfortable, but Chen Zhen didn't think about it at all, so he was reminded by Uncle Nong and felt surprised. . Basically, Uncle Nong maintains Huo Tingen, and Huo Tingen maintains Chen Zhen. The biggest conflict was that Chen Zhen brought Photon back to the martial arts hall. In view of Photon's identity, all the staff couldn't accept it. Ting En thought of solving it by martial arts. If he won Chen Zhen as the owner of the hall, if he lost, he would leave Photon. In the end, Chen Zhen won and left with the photons, but there was no place to accept them, so he could only live in the cabin next to Huo Yuanjia's tomb. The night before the competition with Fujita Gang, Ting En went to the cabin to find Chen Zhen. He wanted to explain his future affairs. He taught Chen Zhen the Mizong Fist, and also said that he brought Xiaohong back to Jingwumen. Chen Zhen actually knew her too. It can be seen that she has talked about it before, and she knows that she is from Zuixinglou. If you don't have feelings for it, you basically won't say it, right? In "Jingwumen", Chen Zhen disguised himself into the enemy's interior in order to spy on the military, and acted as an old newspaper seller and a telephone company employee. Chen Zhen is leaving in "Heroes of Jingwu" After Jingwumen worked in the post and telecommunications bureau, there was a link here. Haha~ At the end, Chen Zhen faked his death in "Heroes of Jingwu", and then went to the three eastern provinces. Although this ending makes the audience more reverie and more hopeful. But in contrast, I prefer the ending of "Jingwumen", Chen Zhen shouted and jumped to the gun. I think this one is more impactful, and that pathetic emotion comes over me. In the past two weeks, I have repeated the "Fighting Heroes" many times, and I can see that Chen Zhen is handsome, hahahahahaha, I have seen each character, and I can understand them from the perspective of each character. Practice, as if doing serious reading comprehension. At the same time, I learned about some of the things behind the film, as well as the high evaluation of foreign film critics. After reading other people's words, I sigh that others express really well~

    Classic, relatively speaking, Donnie Yen's film is better.

    Mitsuko Yamada, growing up in this era, neither you nor I can choose, please take care. It is a great fortune to marry a daughter-in-law like Photon! The "giant baby" nature of Chinese people is fully exposed in the movie. Huo Yuanjia was poisoned to death by Japanese Uncle Ah Xianggen. Huo Tingen's prostitute, Xiaohong, is infatuated with building to redeem Sulan. The best pistol for knocking down the opponent is to push the limit of physical fitness of the target in martial arts training. Photon returns to Japan for Chen Zhen. The ultimate showdown in Hongkou Dojo.
