Some people once said that nonsense performance is a kind of corner art, but Zhou Xingchi's strength is too strong, and the nonsense head has been raised to a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
At that time, I didn't think much of this sentence, but it was not easy to argue, because I had not seen other people's works and did not evaluate it well. Until today, when I saw "Ace Swordsman" starring Chen Handian, I finally knew how bad the nonsense performance could be.
The film has not been given box office statistics for 7 days of release, but from the cumulative number of views of 3.28 million, it is estimated that it is about 200,000-300,000, which can be said to be a miserable result.
The film is set in the turbulent years, the six countries strife as the background, the little character Zhang Jianke did not learn martial arts but only learned dance, accidentally hit and bumped into the world's first swordsman, thus being hunted down. At the moment of a thousand guns, Zhang Jianke mistakenly entered the widow's village with the King of Jin as his mortal enemy, and was in a dilemma. However, Zhang Jianke, who is naturally mean, not only succeeded in soaking in the beauty spy, but also made great achievements in front of the Golden King and embarked on the peak of his life.
From the perspective of the overall plot of the movie, the basic and intro are almost the same, but in terms of plot advancement and plot design, it is really difficult to accept.
In online movies, it is generally necessary to spend a lot of thought in the first few minutes, and the purpose is self-evident - the beginning is wonderful, and only then will the audience be willing to spend a small amount of money to watch the whole film. But "Ace Swordsman" is not the usual way, with a self-introduction as the beginning, and incidentally staged a self-deprecating dance that puts people in the outer focus.
Subsequently, he talked about Zhang Jianke's experience of learning art in Wudang Mountain.
Many years later, at the competition, the two disciples came and went, and they exchanged strokes, originally thinking that the painting style began to become normal, but as Zhang Jianke entered the camera, it was immediately another "sword dance" that was awkward out of the sky.
Da Hastily thought that the first few minutes had basically determined the tone of the subsequent plot, but it turned out to be too young. "Ace Swordsman" not only allows Zhang Jianke to have an awkward dance transition plot at any time, but also makes everyone around him abnormal with various hot-eyed shapes.
In the palace, Zhang Jianke was no longer satisfied with ordinary dance, but danced in front of the Golden King, the Empress Dowager and others in front of the belly pocket. Just this also frightened the empress dowager, and finally died of too much excitement and bursting blood vessels.
Mistaken for an assassin, Zhang Jianke was chased and killed by soldiers and eventually fled into the widow's village. The villagers here are only women, and it is said that all men were killed by the Jin people, so they hated jin guo to the bone. The plot barely makes sense, but it is too hot in the shape.
Except for the heroine Qixiu, all the villagers have the intention to dress up ugly, with teeth, thick eyebrows, big glasses... It can be said that the ugly women who are rare in reality are all concentrated in this village.
When entering the city in the back, Zhang Jianke dressed as a woman and entered the city with Qixiu. When asked to take off his hat, the soldiers turned a blind eye to the beautiful woman Qixiu, but instead looked at Zhang Jianke, who was five big and three thick.
These settings have basically no practical value for the development of the plot, and the real purpose is nothing more than to attract people's attention, which is more in line with the so-called nonsense.
In order to attract attention, "Ace Swordsman" also does not forget the heroine's figure, and unlike other network big concealment, it is obvious that there are only a few seconds of scenes, but the movie is dedicated to enough shots.
In the end, Qixiu is arrested, and Zhang Jianke decides to participate in a martial arts conference in order to save her, and then wins the final victory by dancing square dance with the people of the widow's village. The shape of Chen Handian's pink maid costume throughout the whole process can be said to make the visual discomfort to the extreme.
Plot, lines, shapes, characters, "Ace Swordsman" uses nonsense in all aspects, resulting in the overall look is unclear, so the urine is full. In the words of netizens, the people who can insist on watching this movie are the warriors.
According to Wikipedia, nonsense refers to a person who does things and speaks incomprehensibly, has no center, and his language and behavior have no clear purpose, but they are not without reason.
"Ace Swordsman" does make people "incomprehensible", but throws away the words "not without reason", which is fundamentally different from Stephen Chow's movie.
For example, the setting of Zhang Jianke's obsession with dance in "Ace Swordsman" is very similar to the invention of Ah Fa in "The Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair".
In order to highlight this feature, "Ace Swordsman" makes people all over the world become abnormal. Dressing up ugly, hot eyes, awkward dancing, these behaviors that are difficult to accept in daily life, are very normal phenomena in the eyes of the characters in the play, which has a serious deviation from our normal world view.
In contrast, Zhou Xingchi's zero hair, in the early stage, he gave several small inventions to his wife and said that he could improve the efficiency of doing housework, but later his wife found that this made her tired and half dead, and it was better not to use it.
Later, he integrated the Celestial Flying Immortal into the helicopter and fired the mouth cannon in his mouth, which became a natural thing. Because the early stage has already laid out his motives and plot for doing so.
Inventing this seemingly useless behavior actually enriches the personality and character attributes of the wife of zero hair, which is directly related to the direction of the plot. Even if the imperial harem beauties are ugly women, it is also to provide a reasonable motive for the pursuit of the famous prostitute Qin cao in the Qinglou.
In fact, a little comparison can see that the difference between the two is obvious, and Zhou Xingchi's nonsense is based on respecting the story plot and plays a role in icing on the cake. Even if there are some incomprehensible shots, they will play their part elsewhere.
But Chen Handian's nonsense is the opposite, the plot has become a tool to serve the nonsense, resulting in the whole world being distorted, everyone and everything is serving the awkward dance, in addition to making people feel inexplicable, there will be psychological discomfort.
Although Stephen Chow's works and acting skills have been proven many times in the market, after watching other people's works, they can better appreciate the strength of Stephen Chow. Netizens said that "one film emperor a year, a hundred years Zhou Xingchi" is not unreasonable...
