"The Sacred Fire of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens", martial arts films can be rolled up according to this standard
On the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Jing's version of "Nine Yang Divine Gong of the Dragon Slaughtering Record" was ridiculed by the whole network, and netizens opened fancy spit, which also made the film popular as soon as it was launched. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, as the sequel to the Nine Yang Divine Gong of the Dragon Slaughtering Record of the Heavenly Heavens, the Sacred Fire and Majestic Wind of the Dragon Slaughtering Records of the Heavenly Heavens was also officially launched. With the curiosity of wanting to see how "bad" the film really is, Xiaobian spent 6 yuan to watch the film. To tell the truth, "The Sacred Fire of the Dragon Slayer" also has a lot of places to complain about, and it is definitely not a masterpiece, but it is definitely not a bad film. At least the martial arts action scenes are still worth the ticket price, which belongs to the wave of shares that do not lose money.
In "The Sacred Fire of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens", Zhang Wuji's interaction with the three female characters has a lot of emotional scenes. This was originally one of the highlights of the film, but it became the groove of the film without thinking. Looking handsome and warm, Zhang Wuji, who has a strong sense of justice in the world, and the three "beautiful women" are deeply involved in the peach blossom luck, and at the moment when the appearance is dominant, this should be a major selling point of the film. Unfortunately, the casting of Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo is different, and the acting skills of the two actors are somewhat spicy, and more tempering is needed. The scene where Zhao Min prevented Zhang Wujie from Zhou Zhiruo's big wedding should have been full of emotions and full of points to watch, but the actor's handling was more anxious, and he did not grasp the complex emotions in Zhou Zhiruo's heart. Xiao Zhao and Zhang Wujie cling to each other and fall in love with that scene, but also handled it somewhat simply, without letting people see the sadness, sadness and desolation when it was difficult to give up...
Of course, the reason why xiao zhao and Zhou Zhiruo are so picky is also because Qiu Shuzhen and Li Zitai are classics in Wang Jing's "The Demon Sect Leader of the Dragon Slayer" directed by Wang Jing 29 years ago. The two big beauties not only have good looks, but their acting skills are not exaggerated. In contrast, Wang Jing's casting this time seems to be somewhat perfunctory. However, it is also crossed, Wang Jing is an uncompromising "Zhao Min" control, perhaps the casting this time is also to use Yun Qianqian and Qiu Yinong, two actors with general qualifications, to highlight Zhao Min played by Wen Yongshan, which is also reasonable.
But in general, "The Sacred Fire of the Dragon Slayer" is not useless, and the film still has some pluses. For example, Zhang Wujie's chivalrous spirit, going deep into the magic cellar to rescue the leader of the Six Gate Sect, the sense of justice exploded, and the sense of spirit was full of screens. There is also the father-son relationship between Xie Xun and Zhang Wujie, which makes people feel a little moved.
The highlight of "The Sacred Fire of the Dragon Slayer" comes from several of its action martial arts dramas. The film opens with Zhang Wuji leading the crowd to brave the Wan'an Temple to rescue the leader of the Six Gate Sect, and all kinds of hidden weapons appear together, which is dazzling to watch. Zhang Wuji's role in the "Qiankun Diversion Dafa" to rescue the leader of the Six Gate Sect was very hard and burning. On the Ice and Fire Island, Zhang Wuji's fight with the three envoys of the wind and clouds (Hui Yue, Liu Yun and Miao Feng) pushed the whole film to another climax. Whether on the Ice and Fire Island or in the big ship, Zhang Wujie shook the three envoys of the wind and clouds, relied on the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sword to duel the Sacred Fire Order, and the Sacred Fire Burning City against qiankun to move the drama, all staged earth-shattering. Under the ice of Xuefeng, the duel between good and evil, the battle between ice and fire, wrapped in top special effects, a visual feast of more than half an hour, let people feel that these six dollars are really not lost.
And the spike duel at the end of the film, whether it is the love feud between Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo, or the killing force of Zhang Wuji and Cheng Kun, all shoot hardcore momentum. Especially in the ultimate showdown between Zhang Wuji and Cheng Kun, the performance of Lin Feng and Shi Yanneng deserves praise. Zhang Wuji used three sacred flames to kill Cheng Kun, who was holding a dragon slaying sword and leaning on the Heavenly Sword and wearing a Vajra not bad protective suit, and it was very enjoyable to watch many rounds. Although this scene has the blessing of computer special effects, Lin Feng and Shi Yanneng's basic skills are very solid, and the foundation is also very thick, and often shooting action scenes has also accumulated rich experience for the two. The two men's one move and one style, whether it is slaying the dragon sword and playing with the heavenly sword, or luck pushing the palm, have a sense of strength and momentum, which is a good interpretation of the title of "Sacred Fire And Heroic Wind". This kind of male hormone out of the screen man force, is the current male charm. Moreover, if the current martial arts action scenes can be rolled up according to this standard, there will be a lot less voice of doubt.
29 years ago, Wang Jing's "The Demon Sect Leader of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" was the ceiling of Hong Kong martial arts movies of that year. Therefore, many fans of the film also thought of the sequel of this film, and did not expect that this wait was 29 years. Although the end drawn by Wang Jing for the trilogy of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" is not satisfactory, under the feelings, watching this "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon Chronicle of the Sacred Fire and Majestic Wind" can still harvest many surprises, and the complete upper and lower works, for the audience who have not seen the "Demon Sect Leader" of that year, there is no threshold, and it can be regarded as a new work, which is also wonderful enough.
