In terms of box office, this project is "a pity for the exquisiteness of a house".
In front of the stage, there are golden actor and actress, the best supporting role, the best action design behind the scenes, an experienced and well-funded production team and high-quality live scenes.
The above all have advantages over many Hong Kong-produced films, and even Chinese films. Coupled with a lot of neglected and unknown character stories and details, I thought it would present a different, even unique Ip Man fan drama. Even when I saw the trailer for the first time that year, I was really surprised by Huang Qiusheng's version of Ye Wen with a Foshan accent.
I remember that in a publicity event in Guangzhou, there were gongs and drums to invite Wing Chun students, lion dance groups to cheer and so on, the local characteristics can be said to have everything. Like the local propaganda form, the propaganda of this film was also limited to the local area. Inside and outside the film, self-esteem is greater than the core, it is a pity that the house in front is exquisite. It's even a pity
Returning to the film itself, both Ip Man's characterization and Wing Chun have been included in film and television works many times in the past 10 years. This time, the producer is more ambitious and the screenwriter wants to add Ye Wen's personal affairs and artistic additions, and he wants to offer them all.
But the more content, the more ideas the harder it is to present. In addition to the character introduction and setting, which needs to be dictated by the narration of different stages and characters, it is also necessary to fill 100 minutes with optional events and characters. Not only is the rhythm protracted, it is even redundant.
Huang Qiusheng's play, regardless of lines or action skills, supports the whole film's highlights. In contrast, the portrayal of supporting roles is more nondescript, such as Xiong Xinxin's villain. Since it is an artistic creation, it is better to change it into "Golden Teeth Bing" played by Wu Mengda in "The Lame Man". A dialect ➕ a fierce nickname shattered Pai Gow in one hand, and the whole character immediately plumped up without narration and elaborate fragments. This is the unique audio-visual language of the film.
