"Dragon Horse Spirit" released: the realism is extremely poor and sensational, hard turn, sorry for the big coffee Jackie Chan

On April 7, the movie "Dragon Horse Spirit" was released in theaters. The film is starring Jackie Chan's big brother, with Liu Haocun as the heroine. There are two clues in the film, one pays tribute to the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist. A sigh of father-daughter love. Although both clues are clichés, they are still promising for serious creation. However, the relatively low level of screenwriters and directors of "Ryoma Spirit" has resulted in poor quality of the entire film.

Let's start with the spirit of dragon and tiger martial artists.

This is an important spirit of Hong Kong films, and when it comes to the spirit of dragon and tiger martial artists, all Chinese filmmakers will be shocked. However, the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist is precious, and a movie selling his own meat with the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist is a completely different thing. The true dragon and tiger martial artist spirit tribute cannot be empty, obscene, and full of mistakes.

At the beginning of "Dragon Horse Spirit", the stuntman played by Jackie Chan's big brother is really fighting and fighting, which is indeed moving. However, the film's narrative suddenly has a cliff-like problem halfway through. This is also a problem that screenwriter and director Yang Zi has in almost all movies - he is good at grasping a slogan-like theme and listing stories, but because of his own lack of ability, in the middle of the story, he is full of loopholes, frequent mistakes, and even the ending, can only be all kinds of sensationalism and nagging.

In "Dragon Horse Spirit", the daughter played by Liu Haocun helped her father sign a scene that needed to build a big scene. When the male protagonist arrived at the scene, he found that this scenery could not be done by people riding horses and jumping down, and there would be great danger. The male protagonist went to negotiate, but the female protagonist was bound by the so-called signed contract. In the end, the male protagonist and Chitu will jump directly to present the spirit of dragon and tiger martial artists.

This scene is an important stroke in the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist. However, how did director Yang Zi shoot and finish? He used a lot of sub-shots and special effects production to carry out "fake shooting". It is equivalent to saying that the film tells fans through its own post-synthesis that the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist is fake, and can only rely on special effects and post-synthesis. The filming of this scene is a huge insult to Jackie Chan's big brother.

Using a shot that the director can't actually shoot to pay tribute to the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist, isn't this director Yang Zi satirizing himself through his own film? The entire "Dragon Horse Spirit" collapsed because of this scene. Because the film did not let fans see the real dragon and tiger martial artist work site, what they saw was all fictional by Yang Zi. This is a huge misunderstanding in the creation of screenwriters and directors.

It is worth noting that in "Dragon Horse Spirit", many of the "drama-within-a-play" content filmed by Jackie Chan and Chitu cannot be completed alone in real shooting, and all require a lot of special effects in the later stage. And in the film, singing these contents as real shots and repeated, a little common sense of film shooting, you will feel extremely embarrassed. This approach is the same as the anti-Japanese drama. If it is said that the anti-Japanese drama pays tribute to the anti-Japanese heroes, everyone will definitely not believe it. Said that "Dragon Horse Spirit" pays tribute to the dragon and tiger martial artist, here, fans can only hehe.

Let's talk about the screenwriter and director Yang Zi's extremely poor realism ability.

To pay tribute to the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist, why do you need realism? Because only in realism can the true spirit of dragon and tiger martial artists be discovered. No fiction, no reduction, and no elevation are the key requirements of realism. Unfortunately, screenwriter and director Yang Zi does not understand or respect this common sense. The screenwriter-director's previous work ratings seem to prove this.

"30,000 Feet in Love" 3.4 points, "Otaku Story" 3.7 points, "Sorry, I Love You" 4.2 points. Even in the inflated rating "Shout Mountain", there is a serious lack of realism, and the screenwriter and director are too unfamiliar with the regions and characters presented, resulting in frequent errors throughout the film.

Screenwriter and director Yang Zi lacks a realistic sense of sincerity, but there will be a lot of flower shelves that are not good-looking. Almost all the characters portrayed in "Ryoma Spirit" are severely distorted. In order to make up for this distortion, Yang Zi chose a large number of so-called good-looking bridges to fill, and finally caused all the good moments of this movie to be intercepted from films shot by Jackie Chan before. And the piling up of a large number of film interceptions has caused the dullness in the narrative of this movie.

Then talk about the dullness of "Ryoma Spirit", and the sensational intensity.

Although director Yang Zi tried to use a large number of "centaur moments" spliced by special effects to make up enough time and make up enough to watch, the entire movie of "Dragon Horse Spirit" is still dull and boring. This sense of dullness mainly stems from the fact that screenwriter Yang Zi will shout the slogan of the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist, but will not tell a good story of the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial artist. At the beginning of the film, because of the existence of slogans, you can still watch it, and when it comes to the middle of the story, because of the lack of screenwriter ability, the story is already scattered. By the second half of the film, the screenwriter no longer knew how to end. The end result is all kinds of sensationalism, after inciting one, then inciting another, until the length of the film is enough.

Film script creation, talking about the relationship between head, waist and tail. Almost all of Yang Zi's films are weak at the waist, and the tail can only be hard to make up for the time. The feeling of powerlessness in the waist caused the collapse of the entire movie. The sensationalism of the tail caused the dullness of the entire movie, and finally moved towards the level of "small composition". The screenwriter tried to cover up the lack of his screenwriting level with cheap tears, but in the end, he couldn't cover it up and became a big embarrassment in the movie.

Then there is a hard twist on the film.

This is actually a problem of weakness in the waist. A good movie script, when it comes to waist content, of course, there must be a twist. But all the twists need to be made naturally. In "Dragon and Tiger Martial Masters", in order to show that the work of the dragon and tiger warriors is extremely dangerous, a hard turn came, and the female apprentice of the male protagonist was directly injured by the blast, causing paralysis of the lower limbs. The male protagonist fell directly from the horse battle, causing a coma and so on.

These turns are too blunt, turning for the sake of turns, small essays for small compositions. This kind of content, as soon as it appeared, was full of purpose: Attention fans, I'm going to move you, you cry. Screenwriter Yang Zi's script control ability is extremely low, and a large amount of content has not yet been revealed, so that fans know his purpose.

It can be said that the father-daughter relationship.

Father-daughter movies, of course, there are many excellent. However, Yang Zi's part belongs to the typical Western narrative of picking people's teeth. Between father and daughter, from misunderstanding, to help, to final reconciliation, this is the narrative old routine of typical Western commercial movies. Yang Zi directly moved this old routine over and used it without innovation, resulting in the skeleton of the entire movie already lacking original value.

At the same time, this old-fashioned Western narrative is only suitable for popcorn special effects blockbusters, because the main story is already very weak, and can only be filled with popcorn special effects. "Dragon Horse Spirit" took people's old routines, but couldn't take popcorn special effects, the final result is that the story is weak, let fans look at the beginning, know the end, in the end, the whole film is sensational, nagging, dull very.

Finally, some common sense mistakes in the film.

From my personal point of view, there is really no need to waste time and watch such a pick-up movie. Therefore, I will only mention two very permissive mistakes in the film. The first mistake is that the newborn foal is not what it is in the film, but smaller and weaker. Director Yang Zi didn't know whether it was a lack of basic life common sense, or a deliberate cut in the shooting, dyed a horse with ink and something like that, and pretended to be a newborn foal. With a little common sense of life, when I see this so-called newborn, I will laugh, which is too confusing.

The second mistake, the supporting actor has a line that says: The evidence is conclusive. Pay attention to the pronunciation of "chisel". The correct pronunciation is "zao", and the supporting actor is pronounced "zuo". Is such an obvious pronunciation mistake deliberately done by screenwriter and director Yang Zi, or is it the supporting actor's own low cultural level and ignorance of the lines? Even if the supporting actor's cultural level is low, then when filming, the whole crew, can't they find this problem? In post-production, can't all the staff find out? This kind of mistake, placed in theatrical movies, is really unprofessional in work, not serious, and careless. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
