Chen Kexin actually held his breath in 2011 and wanted to make a big martial arts film, which could relive the scenery of 2007's "Submission of Fame".
However, this drama gathers kung fu star Zhen Zidan; top traffic Jin Chengwu; absolutely female Tang Wei's kung fu film "Wuxia", not only did not win him the Golden Horse Award and the Best Director Award of the Academy Awards like "Submission", but also had a poor reputation, which has always been his regret.
Many insiders commented that this film with an extremely atmospheric name has a connotation of "four different", in addition to zhen Zidan's interpretation of "jianghu feud", it also joined the "scientific detective" that Jin Chengwu integrated.
The story line is extremely blunt, resulting in messy core of the movie, although Zhen Zidan's "wu" part is wonderful, but the "hero" word is obviously not enough to see, which is definitely a hard injury in the choreography.
It is also a pity that the film focuses on the two male protagonists, and Tang Wei, who has an excellent performance in this movie, is completely suppressed.
In fact, "Wuxia" is Tang Wei's work of justifying her acting skills, because since she shined with "Color Ring", the role has been invisibly positioned, and basically no works can make her return to the peak.
Especially because of the double blockade of public opinion and industry, she has no drama to play. It was not easy to come to 2011, a "late autumn" let her return to the big screen, but because of the role, there was no way to fully display her acting skills, so Chen Kexin's "Wuxia" gave her a glimmer of life.
She played Liu Jinxi's wife Ayu in "Wuxia", beautiful and virtuous, and lived a peaceful and down-to-earth pastoral life with him after Liu Jinxi left the 72 dilu.
She herself has an unknown sad past, and her ex-husband ran away from home and disappeared, leaving her to raise her young son alone. Later, it was Liu Jinxi who saved her and took her to live a life away from the rivers and lakes.
In this movie, she is a "vase" role, there are not many shots, but this "vase" is extremely plain, the whole process is plain, and the emotional integration with her husband Liu Jinxi is very entangled.
For example, she learned that if another woman was in danger, her husband would also save her, she was not a special one, extremely sad, but did not dare to collapse.
For example, when she washed "fish bubbles" for her husband to use contraception, his husband was not happy and told her that she would have a child.
Tang Wei played the role of Ayu extremely naturally, especially after her husband was displeased, the emotion of holding his coat while walking, acting realistically and calmly, absolutely hard work.
Moreover, in Chen Kexin's original plan, there was a passion play between Zhen Zidan and Tang Wei, but in order to avoid the repetition of public opinion on "Color Ring", when it was performed in China, this passion play was deleted, but Tang Wei's fishing scene was added.
Director Chen Kexin later explained this in an interview, saying: "It is only deleted because of the plot, and has nothing else to do."
Because "Wuxia" is mainly about the battle of wits between Jin Chengwu and Zhen Zidan, Tang Wei plays Liu Jinxi's wife in the film, and tang Wei's role of overemphasizing Tang Wei will be off the track.
Tang Wei himself said apologetically in an interview in South Korea: "Because I am not the protagonist, I may disappoint the Korean audience." ”
At the same time, she also said: "I envy actors like Liang Chaowei or Maggie Cheung." They have all acted in low-budget small productions and have played many supporting roles, so their acting skills are very solid.
I played the leading role from the beginning, and there are many shortcomings in acting, and through this work, I feel that these gaps have been filled. In addition, "Wuxia" is a man's world, if I am also involved as a woman in their competition, will it be messed up? ”
It can be seen that Tang Wei's positioning of herself is very clear, and she only wants to shoot good dramas, but unfortunately her career is not smooth, and she is really particularly sorry.
