To say that "Shangqi" has no appeal to mainland audiences is definitely false.
There are quite a few people who have a little more freedom of time, and they watched it during the day yesterday.
It was the first time to see it.
So, it can't be a performance that isn't of interest.
"Shangqi" is undoubtedly the film with the most Chinese actors in Marvel, and Liang Chaowei and his sister in the film are played by Chinese, one from Hong Kong and one from Nanjing.
The "protagonist" Liu Simu was born in Harbin and then immigrated to Canada with his family.
"Little Aunt" Yang Ziqiong is a Malaysian actor with ancestral roots in Fujian.
"Mother" Chen Fara was born in Sichuan and is a Chinese with American citizenship.
The heroine Katie, the Chinese in the film named Raven, played by Okafina, is undoubtedly a Hollywood actor in the ascendant period in recent years. She won a Golden Globe a while ago for "Don't Tell Her," making her the first Asian to win a Golden Globe.
Marvel chose Liang Chaowei to play the "villain", and was once "speculated" to play ManDa, and the Network was once full of storms.
Of course, this is not the case, after all, Marvel also has a strong market base in China, and no businessman will do such a smashing job.
Tony's eventual role, Chinese named Wenwu. In the form of a bedtime story, the film slowly unfolds the legendary life of this character to the audience, and the immortal wonders.
The presence of Liang Chaowei, who performs with as much quality as ever, presents the potentially less convincing character backstory to a particularly perfect setting. The affectionate positioning of the role, the beautiful people who love the beautiful people and do not love the Jiangshan from the liang setting, the vulgar is a little vulgar, but who let this Liang Chaowei play it?
Invisibly, the controversies that do exist have diluted a lot. This should also be regarded as a force to fight, the actor's own charm, can divert some people's attention.
As an American film, the movie "Shangqi" has weakened the concept of the state to a large extent, which should be intentional.
The theme that the whole film has been highlighting is family and guardianship, and it is the enduring proposition that sounds even a little earthy.
It is the family and the human world that is guarded.
This movie is called "Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", first of all, I think it is different from the general Chaoyuan movie Shangqi as the protagonist, but the highlight of the film is actually mostly a group play.
This is a movie where the supporting characters are basically very brilliant.
As small as Aunt Tarot who handed Katie a bow and arrow, to the ten-ring one-armed thug who played a lot of scenes, in fact, they all left a lot of impressions.
Tarot, a peach blossom-like place, has a large number of distinctly Chinese elements. Bamboo forest, labyrinth, mountain and sea through the divine beast, unicorn, nine-tailed fox, super powder sucking emperor river and so on. Coupled with Yuanhua and Yang Ziqiong, the faces that can instantly evoke the feelings of Hong Kong films, in fact, the presentation of this place is quite difficult to be annoying, although it cannot be said how much to like it.
Moreover, Tarot's setting in the film will actually remind people of Wonder Woman's paradise island.
In the manga, Paradise Island is set as a place to draw/enter hell or escort dangerous gods and monsters.
In terms of setting, it is not uncommon for Marvel and DC, whether in comics or film and television works, to have similarities. In fact, there is nothing good to evaluate about this.
The setting can be used by everyone, and how it is presented depends on the current context and the instructions of the producers and directors.
Love the first and last person to beat yourself
The existence of the Ten Rings Headquarters also carries a large number of flashbacks in the film. If you look at it carefully, you can definitely see the excellence of family drama. When the director expresses the inseparable emotions between the family, it is actually quite touching.
For example, a large number of flashbacks in front, infant time, childhood summer and then to adolescence, a large number of flashbacks that repeat different perspectives of the lens, the things expressed are naturally completely different.
Wen Wu's eyes at the most moment, eaten together with the picture of memories, can only see peace and beauty at the moment.
Before "Shangqi" became a demon vs monsters tearing each other apart, it was actually a drama film with a large number of excellent action scenes and rich emotional scenes, in addition to Liang Chaowei, like Okafina, as an excellent actor with comedic talent, she also interpreted those light comedy clips in particular.
Of course, it is also possible that the public does not eat this set. But Liang Chaowei has enough ability to let everyone not lose their minds when he appears.
His storytelling eyes make silent scenes and occasional words so rich.
The difference between the younger sister and the older brother is that the older brother was made a killer by the father. The younger sister was suppressed by the patriarchy and did not let her come out. As a result, she grew into a talent by herself, but instead became the existence of the ten rings who had the ability to inherit the ten rings and transform the ten ring headquarters.
It is not surprising that this line is to develop dramas in the future, and even some expectations.
In addition to Macau, the film also mentions China's Hunan. Kaidi's ancestral home is Hunan, and later immigrated to the United States, doing the service industry of parking in front of the hotel, and was said by the older generation not to do business. Here not only because the name of the province is mentioned, but also the girl is urged to marry, which can also instantly pull everyone back into a familiar context.
Although the film is only a simple design, it can also be seen by the caution of the main creative team. They should really have an effort to do research, to put small questions that have a certain universality into the script, or to keep them on the script.
More obviously, the dragon is no longer a symbol of bad or evil in Hollywood movies.
The Guardian Dragon is an absolutely positive presence regardless of its appearance and combat value. The Soul Eater is a Cthulhu-style dragon monster.
The two monsters are on the same stage, and gradually the center of gravity of the picture is removed from the human body.
The whole process of dragon training and the process of fighting with each other are particularly neatly fought.
One of the highlights is that the Shang/Xia brothers and sisters are united in their hearts
The hero of the story is not only the male protagonist, but also the presence of the sister and Katie.
Katie's key arrow, which is also funny, can eliminate the disbelief.
Teacher Yuanhua is sorry.
From the perspective of the male protagonist Liu Simu, his skills are really great. The first grand single-player group in the film was arranged on the bus, which is actually easily reminiscent of a Jackie Chan-style action movie.
In addition to Liu Simu's muscle size, which is basically in line with the standards of Hollywood blockbusters, the agility of his hands and the realism of personally playing seem to prove that he can take on this role. The most beautiful section, I think privately, is the first time he sat in the driver's chair in a snake-like position.
In the section of the Divine Demon War, because a large number of special effects were added, the view was also shifted from the action to the special effects scene, and the protagonist at this time was only required to complete some prescribed actions. The sense of blow is not strong, and even, there is a sense of disconnection from the front part of the film.
The appearance of Bruce Banner, Captain Marvel, and the King of Doctor Strange is, in a sense, a collection of the first and new generations of Avengers.
The concept of the cinematic universe dictates that such films must be innovative.
Whether it is the old with the new, or the new for the old, it is inevitable.
Perhaps, as spectators, we.
Don't put too much affection on a character from the beginning, so that you won't be hurt when the knife is thrown.
But what if the audience gets moved at first?
That process is actually especially like Wen Wu meeting Yingli and then losing Yingli.
