The crocodile boss played by Feng Xiaogang in "Kung Fu" once said something like this in the movie: "Sunday, why is there no one in the cinema?" ”
Unexpectedly, after many years, his words seemed to be a saying.
Today, domestic action movies have begun to decline, and the previous audiences feel very excited and exciting even if they buy high-priced tickets from scalpers to watch "kung fu action movies"... But in today's cinemas, it seems that we can no longer find the scene of "one ticket is hard to find" people crowding people to watch kung fu movies...
On March 24, Jackie Chan said lonely when talking about the situation of action actors:
"I also wanted to find a second Jackie Chan, but it was very difficult and the market didn't need it. It's useless to do any good work, now you must look good, you don't need to make a scene, just stand there."
So, domestic action movies have declined, and Jackie Chan has indeed shed tears of the times, in the end, the aesthetics of our times have changed? Or is it that the short kung fu films of Hong Kong movies are no longer popular? Why do modern audiences start not buying action movies?
Could it be that this generation of young people no longer likes action dramas?
If we really go abroad, we will find out how sensational Jackie Chen's fame will be. It can be said that Jackie Chan's Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award is well deserved.
Because, as a Chinese, he took Chinese kung fu action movies out of China, rushed out of Asia, and even influenced the whole world, making almost everyone recognize the name Jackie Chen. After all, in the eyes of many foreigners, this name represents the influence of Chinese films in the world.
However, his films basically focus on the aura of individual protagonists.
After all, kung fu movies highlight heroism too much, interpreting superb personal ability, and the image created is often almost all the existence of "Xiaoqiang" who cannot be killed.
And Sammo Hung has also said that his movies are all filmed by him alone, so Sammo Hung rarely comes to Jackie Chan to participate in films.
In a movie of more than 120 minutes, if the red one is only one protagonist, the other supporting roles can basically only be "ignored".
In the Chengjia class, there is one Jackie Chan, and there is no second ...
Often, because of this, Jackie Chan's movies only highlight the protagonist.
Then, this is not a problem of not having a successor, but in his movie, a team only highlights itself and cannot show others, which becomes the "source of trouble" of the problem.
Let's watch Stephen Chow's movie again, highlighting all the staff, even if an ordinary supporting role plays a star movie, he may have food for a lifetime.
There is no doubt that among these older generations, I, like most people, like most people, like Stephen Chow, grew up watching his movies, even if there are many supporting roles who have worked with him in movies, I can remember a lot. Because, in my opinion, none of his films are supporting roles, and every actor is the protagonist.
Let's look at it again, the Hong family class, whether it is famous or not, at least most of the audience also knows who it is...
According to this point of view, a bunch of people come out of the Hong family class, and one person comes out of the family class, which is the key and crux of the problem of not finding a successor...
It can be said that Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen... The same name as every big coffee represents the golden age when kung fu action movies reached the peak of movies, but now, those star-studded kung fu movies seem to have been in the last century.
As we all know, in the past, the drama was a group of people shaping the characters in the play and acting hard, but now it is a dead and alive love scene that almost only the male and female protagonists love; In the past, the director was choosing the role, and now the capital is choosing the role; The actors of the past looked the same, and the current actors are exactly the same.
From this point of view, not only kung fu films are declining from generation to generation, but other types of films are also gradually "declining".
In the final analysis, today's movies, even film and television dramas, are basically flowing water seats, and they can't be called classics at all...
In fact, according to the current entertainment industry phenomenon, the originator of zombie action movies, Lin Zhengying should also feel gratified. Because he has long been followed by someone, Qian Xiaohao's Qiu Sheng, although this role is not as good as Lin Zhengying, but it is also very good, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Coupled with the fact that several movies of very good quality were later made, it will naturally make people firmly remember such an "actor" who acts with heart.
This is the most rare legacy of our film festival.
One era is over, and another era can at least take over the mantle of the predecessors and continue to move forward, although it is still a little immature, but it is naturally good to have someone in the future.
So, what about kung fu action movies now? And how many real martial arts masters have regretted their lives because they have no good successor in their twilight years?
When it comes to action movies, I can think of Zhao Wenzhuo for the first time now, his martial arts and action movies are really super powerful, at present, there are really few such action actors in China.
But now the movies made are all traffic first, and some powerful action actors either can't receive the scene, or they are gradually "buried" like gold on the beach.
In the final analysis, this is also the blame for the older generation of action actors who have occupied the kung fu action movie market for too long without really starting to train the next generation of successors.
You look at the current Hong Kong kung fu, action movies are still those old actors. The market is with me, without you, with yours, there may not be mine. This is more and more likely to lead to the fact that this part of the people are really old, quit, the younger generation is not connected, and the opportunity to enter is lost.
Today, who can still play kung fu with half the ethereal dashing of Jet Li?
Who can play kung fu with the humor and creativity of Jackie Chan?
Who can play real kung fu and difficult moves as thick as Sammo Hung, Zhang Chi's powerful and difficult moves?
No, no, still no!
Later, the decline of kung fu films, the big brothers could not be moved, the next generation of green and yellow did not pick up, and the big brothers had more than enough and were not insufficient, which naturally led to the current situation.
And the highlight of the last kung fu movie in my impression is Xing Ye's "Kung Fu", it has been 2004, nearly 20 years, can we still find such an excellent kung fu action movie after that?
Later, after the kung fu film Ye Man 4, there was no longer one who could carry the banner, Wu Jing, Wu Yue, Donnie Yen, Shi Xiaolong all began to switch to other types of films, although Xie Miao has been insisting, but the response is mediocre, and can only let these kung fu movies decline.
So the current movie, or TV series, many times can not compare with the previous drama, the actors will martial arts that temperament, it is very good to fight, and on the contrary, those who advocate finding martial arts stand-ins, shooting techniques and angles are very general, sometimes we viewers can see it even if we look closely.
Only a sigh can be left!
In fact, the current kung fu movies do not mean that there is no successor in the real sense, but many times, capital does not dare to invest in a new person casually, possibly for fear of losing money.
So come and go, are the older generation of Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, and now at most add Zhang Jin...
Naturally, familiar faces, unchanged acting skills, slowly people began to aesthetic fatigue ...
What's more, as Jackie Chan said: "No matter how good your kung fu is, it's useless, now you must look good, you don't need to make a scene, just stand there." ”
In the traffic era, a good-looking face and high appearance represent the "market", and I have to say that it does make people feel very "ironic" and "sad".
Now it feels like many of us don't want to go to the cinema to watch a movie, there are no more than two reasons.
First, to see the special effects, high-tech replaced the "donkey ploughing the land".
But today's computer special effects are flying all over the world, but people have long been tired of watching. If special effects produce better cinematic action effects, and there is no need to risk the action actor getting injured, of course, it is okay. After all, the audience is watching the film effect, as for the shooting and production process is not important, but often even the "special effects" shot by high-tech in reality are not satisfactory, but become a little out of reality "illusory".
The second is that the fans of the so-called high-traffic, high-value stars go to the scene specifically for their "love beans".
In fact, in the market, audiences are always hungry for good action actors, and their good works. Action actors like Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung are still scarce, they must not only be good at kung fu, but also distinctive, such as Jackie Chan's big brother, which itself integrates humor and personal charm into the movie's actions.
But not all traffic stars now, Xiao Xianrou, can become professional actors like "Jackie Chan". It's not that our era only needs traffic stars, and no longer needs action actors, but the end of one era has to let another new era rise, we just need to inherit.
Just like Wu Jing, just like Wang Baoqiang's flesh and blood "Feng Yuxiu", just like Zhang Jin's suit thug and other action movies, which is not bloody?
But now the traffic stars selected under the dominance of capital, Xiao Xianrou is obviously not the "color" that can bear the banner of action movies.
In the end, it is not the audience that has changed, but the taste of capital has changed, and it is now easier for "cream boys" to earn money.
Previous actors and directors all hope to make a classic and legendary work, so as to make a name for themselves in film history.
Now filmmakers have also begun to not understand movies, just because traffic is king and appearance is supreme.
Some audiences also began to not understand movies, and only liked high appearance.
Indeed, the chaos of the film market is also very helpless, and producers and investors want to make money, they have to cater to the market and cater to the aesthetics of the public.
To be honest, I sometimes watch those crash movies and can't help but be angry. On the contrary, many times prefer to brush old films, that is, old films such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, etc...
These old films give people a feeling of being real, and the characters they create are full and flesh and blood.
And now many directors and investors have to start catering to the low-level tastes of ordinary people in order to survive. In the final analysis, it is the mercenary nature of capital, which always takes the box office performance of the film as the only standard for testing and measuring the level of the film.
That's a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
In fact, high-level, high-aesthetic audiences and actors have always been there, but this is not something that capital and the market economy need...
What's more, the deeper reason, now is the economic era, and how many people have the leisure to watch the film?
Even movies, TV series have become dominated by girls...
And what does this generation of girls want to see? First of all, the plot should be simple, not too brain-burning, to be in love, sweet, and sadistic.
Therefore, costume dramas, fairy tale dramas, idol dramas, youth early love dramas, and urban women's dramas are all hit dramas. Because, most girls basically only care about appearance and do not care too much about acting, so it has led to Xiao Xianrou beginning to "run amok" on the TV screen.
Second, actors are dominated by the market and capital.
The market needs small fresh meat, so the one with small fresh meat must be a little girl, which is also more in line with the standards for investors to choose people based on their faces.
As long as the appearance is high, the acting skills are not too bad, and you are willing to pay, you can have a good chance to develop.
Therefore, the market is the biggest factor, the source of the market is the audience, now the post-80s, post-90s have almost been completely smoothed out by the pressure of life, no time to watch movies, no time to watch TV, more are the 00s, they like to watch not this kind of things, but a variety channel that relaxes and delights people's hearts...
Well, this dooms the decline of Chinese kung fu action movies and so on...
At the end of the day, one, there are no good martial arts actors.
Second, now is the era when traffic is king, no one will be willing to sink down to do a good film work.
Martial arts action movies like Jackie Chan in the past are good, but now that technology has advanced, it is difficult for us to find an action actor of the older generation like Jackie Chan. Only small fresh meat is in charge, and special effects are flying all over the sky, which makes the whole movie look "creamy", so it seems unreal.
Perhaps, every era has a style that adapts to its market, or maybe it's just that our current action movies still find what the current market likes.
Jianghu is not fighting and killing, it is human love!
Times are changing, aesthetics are changing, and now that the tastes of audiences have generally changed, can we still pray that those who have spent their entire lives sitting in the office playing keyboards and writing reports will like martial arts action movies?
Society is impetuous, and the entertainment industry is also impetuous.
If the investment producer, director and actor do not make a good film, that is, the fast food movie is about to fail. There are also problems such as online piracy, which leads to a certain link going wrong, and often complains about other links.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the ecology of the entire entertainment industry has problems.
Now the young actors, their hands are squeamish, and they don't even go to the scene to play big names, where does the professionalism come from to shoot action scenes?
At present, only in the bodies of Zhang Jin, Zheng Yecheng, Wu Yue, Wang Baoqiang, Shi Xiaolong and others can we see the shadow of action movies in the past.
So, it's not that the market doesn't need it anymore, it's that there are no good, dedicated, professional action actors.
If there is still now, then this generation of post-80.90s will definitely still love to watch action movies.
Of course, we cannot deny the efforts and changes of young actors now. Like Jackie Chan's big brother when he was popular, it was also the dividend of the times of Hong Kong movies, and now it is normal to be lonely, after all, there is no successor to action movies, which invisibly adds a lot of uncertainty to Chinese action movies going abroad.
Actually, is there a shortage of kung fu actors in China?
In fact, we have no shortage of actors in China!
China is so big, what kind of talent can't be found?
And what about the current traffic stars, let alone whether they will do real kung fu, a large number of people can't even hang a Weiya beautifully, and they can't stand on the ground.
And now the hot search, most of the people generally admired who wore what beautiful clothes, who who made a beautiful look, today's body, tomorrow's body, changing the tricks of the show, trying in every possible way to get around, but are all on the surface, not many people are willing to sink their minds to exercise their acting skills, this is the naked reality...
At present, it seems that in the entertainment industry, the "assembly line" of star-making does not want to put such actors on the table, and those who have gone on stage have no training needs in this regard, and there is a lack of excellent scripts suitable for excellent kung fu actors, plus now some traffic stars do not need acting skills at all, anyway, just look good, martial arts have stand-ins, and the text has 12345...
After all, now it's all about shooting technology, people just stand there and leave the rest to the photographer.
And this is also the reason why it is difficult for our domestic films to go international now...
To be honest, I haven't watched any movies or TV series for several years, whether it is ancient or modern, as long as I play the last traffic star, I feel that it is mostly "vase", not only the plot is bad, the acting skills are also difficult to compliment, almost all of them are not good, and even can't watch an episode.
However, what puzzles me is that I don't know where this huge amount of playback comes from, and who is watching...
Finally, technology is advancing, the market is advancing, but time is impossible to reincarnate.
The success of Jackie Chan has reached the peak of the kung fu action film industry, not only in the dividends of the original era, but also in his own efforts, perseverance and strength are inseparable.
However, until now, the times have changed, the audience's aesthetics have also changed, the mind has become more open, and the film works have become more and more "picky", even if there are people exactly like him today, maybe, capital, the market and the audience do not necessarily need such "talents", and will not necessarily be as they were at the beginning, stupidly buying for these traffic star-based films...
