Do you still remember the big brother Jackie Chan who used to be beautiful on the screen? This time, he really made big news.
On July 5th, Jackie Chan's new movie "Legend" was screened in advance, and the lineup was really star-studded, Jackie Chan, Zhang Yixing, Nazha, Li Zhiting, it was simply dazzling.
The film is directed and written by Jackie Chan's golden partner Tang Jili, and it seems that he wants to do a big job in the summer schedule.
Sure enough, the screening and pre-sale box office exceeded 30 million yuan within three days of the premiere, and it seems that Jackie Chan's appeal is still as strong as ever.
However, in this movie, the 27-year-old young Jackie Chan was tried to restore the image of the 27-year-old Jackie Chan, but the audience exploded.
The audience has a variety of opinions about this AI restoration technology.
Some viewers feel that although the restored Jackie Chan's appearance is amazing, he always feels that there is a lack of realism, and it is awkward in people's hearts.
The flaws in the technology are exposed in the visuals, making some scenes look like clumsy puppet shows, which is a big disappointment.
Not only that, but the plot of this movie has also been complained by many audiences.
Some people say that the plot is so exaggerated that people can't bear to look at it directly, and the logic is full of loopholes.
Some even want to leave after only fifteen minutes of watching, which is simply an insult to Jackie Chan.
Of course, Jackie Chan's performance is still quite powerful.
Although he is old, he still went into battle in person and showed those classic martial arts movements, which is really admirable.
However, some people feel that Jackie Chan seems to rely too much on his personal charm and past glory to attract the audience this time.
While "Legend" was a small success at the box office, word-of-mouth, especially the widespread criticism of AI restoration technology, seems to indicate that the film may not have lived up to the production team's expectations.
Audiences initially paid attention to the film, probably in part because of nostalgia for Jackie Chan's 2005 film "Myth."
There are even some rumors that this movie is a sequel to "Myth", which is really laughable.
To be honest, although "Legend" also plays the old routine of traversing the plot, the story line and character settings are completely new.
19 years have passed since the premiere of "Myth", and the Chinese film market has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
And director Tang Jili seems to want to rely on AI technology to restore the young version of Jackie Chan, trying to recreate the glory of the year.
This kind of thinking is a bit too naïve.
This reliance on successful models of the past clearly does not fully cater to the aesthetic needs of contemporary audiences.
At the same time, it also exposes the double shortcomings of script creation and technical implementation.
Although Jackie Chan's martial arts performance and acting skills in the film are still online, the film relies too much on his personal charm and ignores the importance of strengthening the story content and technological innovation.
It is worth mentioning that in "Legend", the director also specially invited the actor Kim Hee-sun of "Myth" to return.
Although the years have left traces on her face, her appearance still evokes emotional memories from the audience, and people can't help but sigh that time flies.
However, nostalgia is clearly not enough to sustain the scene.
The film "Legends" tries to engage audiences through technology and nostalgia, but somehow ignores the importance of innovation and polishing the story itself.
While there are many iconic elements of Jackie Chan's films, it seems to be pursuing technological innovation and nostalgia for the past while forgetting that keeping the story fresh and creative is crucial.
