The success of "Chosin Lake" has attracted a lot of attention from actor Wu Jing.
Jackie Chan once joked: "I have spent decades and made so many movies, desperately in exchange for 20 billion box office, and Wu Jing only used a few plays, and easily surpassed me." ”
Although this is just a joke, it reflects that the personal situation is often related to the times.
You know, once with Wu Jing, the action actor who was regarded as the "successor" by Jackie Chan, as well as Zhao Wenzhuo.
The two are both martial arts athletes, and with a solid foundation in kung fu, they are loved by many audiences.
However, the turning of kung fu films from prosperity to decline led to a sharp decline in the career development of the two.
In order to gain a firm foothold, both of them have made a lot of efforts.
And the floating and heavy Zhao Wenzhuo, who once brought a masterpiece in 2010, wanted to take advantage of this to sweep away the decline.
The film invested up to 130 million yuan, invited Jay Chou to make a cameo, and played the publicity banner of "the first 3D kung fu giant in Chinese".
However, the film was criticized after its release, and only earned more than 40 million at the box office.
The reason is that many viewers believe that this movie is just a copy of Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia".
Perhaps, in Zhao Wenzhuo's body, he can always see Jet Li's shadow.
The opening scene is an ink painting and explains the background of the story.
In the chaotic world of internal and external difficulties at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a martial arts wizard Su Can (played by Zhao Wenzhuo) was born.
This time, Su Can is ordered to rescue Belle Grandpa (played by Xiang Zuo), who has been kidnapped by bandits.
However, the operation did not go well, and he and his brother Yuan Lie (played by An Zhijie), as well as his friend Ma Qingfeng (played by Guo Xiaodong), who was born and died, were met with stubborn resistance from each other.
There were many people who could not stand the other side, and the righteous brother Yuan Lie persuaded Grandpa Belle to evacuate first, while Su Can alone fell into a heavy siege.
After fleeing back to the base camp, Grandpa Belle ordered Yuan Lie to go back to save Su Can, but Yuan Lie resigned for various reasons, claiming that it was too late and that Su Can had no possibility of survival.
People who understand can see at a glance that Yuan Lie does not want to save him as a righteous brother.
Fortunately, Su Canfu had a big life, so he escaped the disaster smoothly.
Afterwards, Su Can asked Grandpa Belle to resign, gave up a great future, and went home to live happily with his wife and children.
Since then, Su Can has devoted himself to the study of martial arts, and he can no longer ask the world.
Many years later, Yuan Lie, with his martial arts, soared in the imperial court.
However, when he returned home, Su Can saw his appearance and was immediately shocked.
It turned out that he and Yuan Lie's father were friends of life and death, and he did not expect that Yuan Lie's father would go crazy in order to practice evil skills.
Forced to do so, Su's father simply got rid of it and raised his two children to adulthood.
Judging from Yuan Lie's face, it was very likely that he had practiced that evil skill and knew about the past.
On this day, Su Can had something to go out, and Yuan Lie came to the Su family with a group of people.
Su's father already knew what would happen next, so he begged his son Su Can to spare him.
However, Yuan Lie had already gone into a rage, and despite anyone's persuasion, he captured Su Can's son and left the Su family alive.
When Su Can returned home, he found that there were already corpses all over the field in front of him.
So he found Yuan Lie to confront, did not expect that the other party was strong in martial arts, his body was already invincible, and he practiced a poisonous attack, and those who were injured by him would be poisoned and die.
After a few rounds, Su Can was seriously injured, and his wife Yuan Ying took the risk of jumping down the waterfall with her husband.
Fortunately, the two did not die after jumping off the cliff, and they were rescued by the noble sister Yu (Yang Ziqiong).
Sister Yu has been collecting medicine in the deep mountains for many years, and easily cured the poison in Su Can.
However, Su Can's right hand was ruined, and he could never seek revenge on Yuan Lie again.
Therefore, Su Can escapes reality with wine all day long.
However, his wife Yuan Ying did not abandon him and always accompanied him, which made Su Can reinvigorate.
One day, Su Can was practicing martial arts in the mountains and accidentally met an old man with a young man in a white robe.
Su Can followed the two masters and apprentices all the way to the edge of a cliff.
Subsequently, he learned that this young man in a white robe was the martial god (played by Jay Chou) as rumored in the jianghu.
The old man also told Su Can that if he wanted to learn from his teacher, he must overthrow the Martial God.
At first, Su Can fought with the Martial God, and always fell behind.
However, with the passage of time, Su Can's martial arts continued to grow, and the whole person became cheerful, and his wife was very happy to see all this.
However, Sister Yu found that Su Can was somewhat abnormal, and it was likely that she had gone mad.
Therefore, Sister Yu suspected that maybe the martial god was only his fantasy.
At first, his wife Yuan Ying did not quite believe it, so she followed her husband to the mountain.
In the end, she found that what Sister Yu said was true, and her husband Su Can was mad in the mountains, practicing with herself and herself.
Therefore, Sister Yu and Yuan Ying persuaded Su Can to let go of his hatred and practice martial arts and live a normal life.
However, Su Can did not listen to the advice, and in his fantasy, he understood a set of unique martial arts in a drunken state.
Yuan Ying knew that he could not stop her husband, so he left a letter and went alone to find his brother Yuan Lie, hoping that he would spare his son.
After Su Can saw his wife's letter, he immediately went down the mountain to find Yuan Lie.
Due to Su Can's rapid progress in martial arts, after a few rounds, Yuan Lie was no longer his opponent.
In the end, despite his son's obstruction, Su Can beat Yuan Lie to death, but also tired his wife Yuan Ying.
Afterwards, Su Can was disheartened and went to the Sino-Russian border.
For a long time, Su Can and his son lived like beggars.
However, he often meets the God of Valkyrie, and his drunken fist becomes more and more skilled.
In the local area, a Russian businessman set up a contest ring, during which a Chinese boxer was brutally killed by a Western boxer.
Unable to bear to see more people die tragically, Su Can decided to compete with the Russian Hercules.
In fact, this plot is the same as "Huo Yuanjia".
In the end, Su Can relied on the drunken fist kung fu he learned to thwart the arrogance of the foreigners.
Therefore, there is a legendary figure's story on the jianghu, he is called - drunken fist Su Qi'er.
Looking at the whole story, the movie "Su Qi'er" is actually not bad.
However, the screenwriter Du Zhilang may be somewhat reluctant to "Huo Yuanjia".
Therefore, in "Su Qi'er", it will inject a tribute to the film.
Moreover, "Su Qi'er" also got rid of the previous practice of Hong Kong kung fu films emphasizing martial arts and light texts, and achieved a true sense of "both literature and martial arts".
In the film, in addition to the wonderful play designed by Yuan Heping for Zhao Wenzhuo and An Zhijie, there are many meticulous portrayals of the characters' hearts.
Not only that, but the cast of the film is also very strong.
Zhou Xun, Zhao Wenzhuo, Jay Chou, Ziqiong Yang, Zhijie An, Ni Yan, Jiaren Liang, Jiahui Liu, Xiaodong Guo.....
Even director Feng Xiaogang made a cameo appearance in the film, playing the role of a city thief.
As the first 3D kung fu film in China, it also became a major selling point of the film at that time.
Although compared with the "Avatar" of the same period, the effect presented by the film is slightly mediocre, but compared with the kung fu films of the same period, it is even worse.
Unfortunately, no matter what kind of cloak kung fu films wear, their performance in the film market has lost its former style.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the ending of "Su Qi'er" has long been doomed.
After this movie, Zhao Wenzhuo seems to have lost his former style, and the box office of the movie is not as good as one.
