Wu Jing is going to do something big again! This time, it is necessary not only to revive martial arts films, but also to dig female crime action movies
As the leading figure of Chinese films at this stage, starting from "Wolf Warrior", it can be said that Wu Jing's dedication and unique vision have played a crucial role in the development of our domestic films, because not to mention, just the "Wandering Earth" series is a good example. However, this is obviously not the end for Wu Jing, just recently, Chinese Pictures and Dengfeng International (Wu Jing) announced that the cooperation in the development of a martial arts action series movie "Swords, Guns, Swords and Sticks Chang Nantai" and the female crime action theme "Angels of Hell" are on the agenda.
The movie "Dao" can revive the martial arts theme
Once upon a time, our martial arts movies can be described as infinitely beautiful, especially from Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies of the last century, such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Jet Li, Donnie Yen and so on a batch of kung fu stars, at the same time, there are also many behind-the-scenes directors and image masters like Hu Jinquan, Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, Yuen Heping. Their efforts have contributed countless classic martial arts movies to the audience. But time has passed, and today's martial arts movies have long ceased to be beautiful, or even in decline, and it is under such circumstances that Wu Jing announced the preparation of a martial arts masterpiece, the purpose of which is obviously to revive the martial arts theme.
Drawing nourishment from the Cologne novel?
Therefore, even the promotional slogan given by the film is: "Painful fighting, fist-to-flesh action aesthetics, and hard-core martial arts with sharp moves, restore the rivers and lakes that have not gone away under the turbulent situation, and the heroes are ordinary you and me who stand up for their families and dignity with weapons in their hands." "I have to say that just one slogan makes people feel that the former martial arts flavor has returned. In this regard, Wu Jing even tried to create an entire series, which used the five weapons of "sword, gun, sword and stick Chang Nantai" as the core of the story to tell stories with different themes. This can be found by looking at the screenshot (above), the slogan of each weapon.
I believe that friends who like martial arts novels, when they see this publicity, they can definitely think of Mr. Gulong's martial arts classic - "Seven Weapons" series. This work is a typical allegorical martial arts novel, the novel is divided into seven independent stories, each story is a peerless weapon as the main body, but it is not the weapon itself, but reflects the "laughter, confidence, honesty, hatred, togetherness, courage, do not give up" seven very philosophical stories of life. Therefore, when we combine the experience of our ancestors, the "Swords, Guns, Swords and Sticks Chang Nantai" series created by Chinese Pictures and Summit International should draw inspiration and nutrients from "Seven Weapons".
And the work "Dao" is the first step in reviving the martial arts series, and even the story content is sent together, and the writing is still very detailed, so put the screenshot here (above), the specific content will not be repeated. But it is not difficult to find that the conspiracy shown in the plot, and then to the final fight for life, there is quite a sense of déjà vu of the combination of Gulong and Zhang Che, but what is certain is that just reading the story introduction has made the blood of friends who like martial arts boil. Especially the final battle mentioned, all kinds of big knives come into view, it is completely a duel between knives and knives, such a pure martial arts, it is really rare today, I hope to see this work as soon as possible.
Female crime action theme
In addition to martial arts movies, Wu Jing also announced a theme that is very rare so far, that is, the female crime action theme, although many good works have been born since the peak of Hong Kong kung fu action films, and at that time there were also action films with women as the protagonists such as "Royal Senior Sister", like Michelle Yeoh, who just won the Oscar, it was in this context that the beating of women to the public. However, most of them are similar to policewomen, such positive characters, even if there are negative identity settings like killers, most of them are described from the front, and most of the characters are more face-painted. As for the mainland, there are even fewer works in this regard, so there are actually many places worth excavating in this genre.
So in this case, Wu Jing is committed to creating a female crime action film "Hell's Angels", which can be described as a new attempt, but also a bold excavation, and the detailed story content has been screenshotted (above), and it is not difficult to see from the story introduction that this time is not the same as in the past, coming up to create a unique image of beating women in the world, but an ordinary girl who looks helpless, after being in a desperate situation, with a strong will, cooperate with her companions in a difficult environment, The story of the final escape. As far as the scenes mentioned in the introduction are concerned, it even gives the feeling of a female version of "Kill the Wolf".
Innovation and revitalization are the luck of the audience
For Wu Jing, many netizens also have their own opinions, but it should be said that as a literary and artistic creator, presenting wonderful movies and performances for the audience is obviously the most important, and Wu Jing, as a dedicated filmmaker, has indeed contributed his strength to our Chinese-language films, such as "The Wandering Earth" is a good example, this time, he has to try to develop different themes, including bringing back the former martial arts, etc., for the audience, it is undoubtedly a lucky thing, because of the decline of martial arts, It doesn't mean that no one doesn't like martial arts, these martial arts fans may be waiting for a "wandering earth" style work like former sci-fi fans.
Digging female crime action movies is the same reason, not to mention that we have seen the heroic and sassy image of beating women on the big screen, whether it is actors or movies, the variety of characters, the richness of the theme, so that the audience has more choices, more high-quality works are born, so that the audience willingly enters the cinema, whether it is for filmmakers or the audience, it is a kind of luck.
