- the movie "Di Renjie's God of Dragon King"
Xu Hark is a very influential figure in the Hong Kong film industry. When it comes to Xu Ke, many people's first impression is that of martial arts.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Tsui Hark's martial arts films played an important role in Hong Kong-made films. "New Dragon Inn", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Swordsman", "Once Upon a Time" series, etc. imprint.
In the martial arts films, Tsui Hark's peculiar camera language, wonderful fighting scenes, and the spirit of knighthood conveyed, and occasionally funny and humorous, earned him the title of Xu Laoguai.
In the past 10 years, martial arts films in the true sense have almost disappeared, and people can't help but miss those classics by Xu Guai.
The appearance of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" in 2011 is undoubtedly a great comfort. Tsui Hark finally shoots martial arts again! It's just that this time Xu Guike arranged a long-term relationship between children and chivalrous love in a story of treasure hunt and treasure hunt. Xu Guike started a mixed narrative, and did not abandon the righteousness of chivalry.
Having said that, the film "Dragon King of Di Renjie's God" is another masterpiece of Xu Wei's mixed narrative.
Since the people have long been spoiled by Hollywood's big productions and special effects, domestic films have to catch up with them in addition to finding new ways.
"Dragon King of Shendu" jumped out of this pond very well, and it was very popular this summer.
There is no bright spot in the script. The wonderful thing about this film is Xu Lao's mixed narrative.
"Dragon King of Shendu" first borrowed Sherlock Holmes' coat, which is a detective story that happened in the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the premature disclosure of the plot, the biggest suspense of the film turned out to be "Who is the ghost in the Dali Temple?" This question, so what can be seen is how Xu Wei uses the movie lens to narrate the story.
Xu Guai has always been a star in the sky, and he loves exaggerating the performance of chaotic power monsters and Qimen Dunjia. Therefore, in the film, Xu Wei mixes many elements together to create this extraordinary "Dragon King of the Gods", which makes people call it a chivalrous but not a chivalrous, chaotic and strange.
Element 1: The History
of Ancient Costumes "Dragon King of Shendu" chose Di Renjie from the official history, and there are records in the history of his admonition to Wu Zetian and Wu Zetian's majesty.
Set it up and tear it down. This is Xu Wei's usual practice. From the previous "Empire of Tongtian", the high-reaching pagoda and the underground ghost market, Luoyang City has been portrayed as a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, mysterious and unpredictable place. Therefore, in "Dragon King of Shendu", the setting of Luoyang City's coastal waters should not be picked out as a mistake. This is actually another idea of Xu Guai about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Maybe he is lingering as a Hong Kong director. plot.
Element 2:
The fighting scenes in the detective martial arts films are highly recognizable. It can be said that there is such a taste of Tsui Hark. The battle of Yanzilou, the ghost chase in Dali Temple, the battle on the cliff of Bat Island, etc., you can see that there are some shadows of "New Dragon Inn" and "Swordsman".
Xu Wei also has ulterior motives in the small aspect. Xu Guai abandoned his favorite weapon in many martial arts novels, the sword, and replaced the important weapon in the film with the Tang sword. This is undoubtedly a huge innovation. Due to the soft body of the sword, it is not suitable for fierce fighting. The introduction of Tang Dao undoubtedly makes the film more enjoyable to watch.
However, martial arts are not only fighting. In the film, Di Renjie has a heart for the country, and uses his personal destiny to penetrate the hatred of the country and the family. This is a manifestation of the spirit of chivalry.
Element 3:
The introduction of Strange Talks, Gods and Monsters, turns a lot of unreasonableness into rationality in the film. The "Dragon King" in the film became because of being intoxicated. Gu art is a very mysterious thing. Xu Wei took it at his fingertips, put it in the movie, and presented Dongdao country's mask, poisonous bees, domesticated giant monsters, and human cultivation of gu poison, etc.
The film even created the image of a "Frankenstein" and replaced his hand with the hand of an orangutan, which is also strange.
Element 4: Ninja Monster
Higashishima A ninja dress can not help but remind people of Anbu in "Naruto". Xu Guai is just right here, to avoid showing a mysterious thing abruptly.
The other major protagonist in this film, King Ao, is the monster who destroyed the 3,000 navy at the beginning of the film. Similar to "Godzilla", the troll does not reveal its real body in the first half of the film, but it is looming in the second half, and the last one that rises up into the air presents an amazing body.
It is such a film that combines many elements, allowing us to see Xu Wei's unique hybrid narrative method.

I said later, about the "Dragon King of Shendu":
1. In the Tang Dynasty, which was beautiful with round beads and jade, would Angelababy be too thin?
2. How do you think King Ao is a monster who only plays soy sauce?
3. Food safety deserves attention
