After the Release of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Green Dark Sword, first of all, there was a lot of boos, the score was extremely low, and then there were occasional reversals that said that it was unfair to compare Yuan He and Lee with Ann Lee. However, after watching "The Sword of the Green Nether", I want to say two things:
1. "The Sword of the Green Nether" is not as good as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is certain, but it is definitely not bad enough to be watched.
2. "The Sword of the Green Nether" must and can only be compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
To say one: "The Sword of the Green Nether" is of course a big gap compared to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but it should be the best movie in the whole of February except for "Kung Fu Panda 3". The release date is February 19th, the twelfth day of the first month, according to the Spring Festival file has not been squeezed into the golden seven days, but compared with the three giants of the Spring Festival file, in addition to the "Mermaid" this super topic machine and the printing machine do not talk about, as a general audience between "Macau Storm 3", "Three Dozen White Bone Essence" and "Green Hell Sword", "Green Hell Sword" is definitely the best choice, at least for Yuan Heping's sincerity to the work is enough.
Second: why do you have to compare with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Yuan Heping immediately took over the super big IP of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and while bearing the aura legacy brought by the first part, he must withstand the harsh test of the audience. First of all, the plot and character setting of the two movies are in the same vein, and the next part is a serious spoiler. The novels of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Sword of the Green Nether are based on Wang Dulu's novels Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Iron Riding Silver Bottle. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has little difference from the main plot of the original work, but in the original work, Yu Jiaolong did not die after jumping off a cliff, married and had children with Luo Xiaohu, and laid the groundwork for the sequel to "Iron Horse Silver Bottle", and Ang Lee chose Yu Jiaolong to jump after the movie ended. The story of "Iron Riding Silver Bottle" is the story of Han Tiefang, the son born to Yujiaolong and Luo Xiaohu, who was first wrapped into a girl's spring snow bottle, and Yujiaolong adopted a snow bottle to find Han Tiefang. In "The Sword of the Green Nether", the plot of changing sons and looking for sons has become a side line, and the names of Yu Jiaolong and Han Tiefang have also been replaced by Han Mei and Wei Fang, and the plot of finding children only appears in the memories of Xue Bottle.
Regarding whether the characters die or not, whether they can appear in the sequel, martial arts novels are basically the same as foreign science fiction movies, as long as they can be written up in a vacuum, even if they are buried in the soil and then dug out and resurrected, it is normal. Regarding the death of Yujiaolong, the original book of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is alive, and the foreshadowing in the movie is ---- Luo Xiaohu said that as long as he jumps off the cliff and does not die, his wish will come true. YuJiaolong jumped, Yujiaolong died or not, Li An did not say, according to the mood he expressed, we can understand it as dead. This is determined by the kind of mood he wants to express. In the "Green Sword of the Underworld", since Meng Sizhao can be resurrected, then the resurrection of the Jade Jiaolong is not a technical problem, but Yuan Heping did not let the Jade Jiaolong live, even if it is the appearance of the virtual finger, the analysis is not in addition to the factors of Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Zhen, it is more likely to be a respect for Li An's ending.
The screenwriter is a netizen complaining about the hard-hit area. The screenwriter of "The Sword of the Underworld", John. Fosk, a brief search, only to see "Marco. Polo" and "The King of Kung Fu", can't say more. According to the above 1, 2 and the original comparative analysis, the plot is still passed, the problem is in the line design, the expression is too straightforward, probably let the crooked nut design Chinese lines are indeed a bit difficult.
Another problem that has been complained about by netizens is photography. Photograph: Newton. Thomas Siegel, who has worked on "Very Suspect" and "X-Men 1 and 2". Looking at this resume is not too bad, but it is not the same thing as Li Pingbinbi, so its entire tone and expression of the scenery are far from meeting the expectations of the audience.
Compare the entire team lineup. First, it's all Weinstein, then the producer. The producers of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are Xu Ligong, Jiang Zhiqiang and Li An, and the names of these three people mean the highest transfer authority for Hong Kong and Taiwan film resources, and the three of them can be invited to the top lineup in the Chinese-speaking world. So "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in addition to the director is Ang Lee, the others are all big bulls. Photography Li Pingbin, in recent days, the information of "Yangtze River Map" brush screen, everyone should be familiar with him. The screenwriter is Wang Huiling, who has works "Color Ring", "Woman Thirty" and "April Day on Earth", and is also very powerful. The music is the participation of Tan Dun and Yo-Yo Ma and Li Wei, actors Zhou Runfa, Yang Ziqiong, Zhang Zhen, Zhang Ziyi, and this is the top resource of Chinese films before 2000, so the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not an accident. In contrast, the producer of "The Sword of the Green Nether" is Charlie Nguyen, who is also one of the assistant directors, and did not find anything of value. Photography: Newton Thomas Siegel and screenwriter John Foxk introduced earlier. In addition, there is a friend who expressed the situation that the casting is also weak, which is also a reality. Fortunately, Wu Zhi Yuan Heping did not change.
In short, the entire production team of "Green Sword" is indeed a big difference compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the decline in level is reasonable. But I feel that as a stable martial arts blockbuster, it is still up to standard, at least compared with "Sword Rain" and "Embroidered Spring Knife", two martial arts movies with relatively good reputation in recent years.
The next thing to highlight is the martial arts part, Yuan Heping is indeed a genius in martial arts design. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has three specific contributions to martial arts films: bamboo forest fighting, wall fighting, and action with drumming. This time, the ice fight and tower fight scenes that appear in "The Sword of the Green Nether" are believed to become common scenes in martial arts movie fights in the future, especially in the end, Zhen Zidan and Jason. Scott. Li played the Dai Yan King, and the shot of the knife thrown out at the last moment of the duel is classic enough. I would like to say that the wonder of the birth of these bizarre and imaginative scenes never existed before their birth, and once they were born, they will become materials that can be easily imitated and used by later creators, and from this point of view, Yuan Heping has contributed too many valuable ideas to the design of martial arts. Regarding the issue of the stupa, my friend Lu Liu once raised the question in her article that "the stupa cannot be inhabited by people, and the place of the fight is unreasonable." I agree with that. However, in the process of checking the information, I saw that there was an introduction to the fire of a very important palace scene in the scene filmed in New Zealand, so it is reasonable to speculate that the palace that did not appear was the first scene of the duel, and after losing this scene, the unreasonable stupa became the main venue of the decisive battle. Of course, this part is my speculation.
Almost on the analysis of these, overall recommended to watch, the 10-point system can play 7.8 points. By the way, the publicity is not very strong, if the schedule and publicity can be a little stronger, the result will be better.
