On September 8, a movie called "New Jingwumen: Martial Soul" was released on the iQiyi Network Movie Channel. The film is starred by young actors such as Chen Guanying and Jiang Mengxuan, and starring Xu Shaoqiang, Zhang Chunzhong, Du Yuming and many other well-known actors. Although the title of the film is "New Jingwumen", this movie has no half-cent relationship with Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen and others of Jingwumen. Therefore, after watching the whole work, some fans said through bullet screens, short comments, etc., is such a movie name not the heat of Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen?
In the online movie "New Jingwumen: Martial Soul", the male protagonist's father is the head of Jingwumen. However, in a martial arts war, this master was directly killed by the villain in the play. Before his death, the leader taught his son his internal skills. For the next dozen years, the child thrived, and the villain team actually found this child for more than a decade. Don't know why. This online movie is so ignorant of narrative logic. Maybe it is to absorb the internal strength of the little male protagonist.
Then, without any logic, the little male protagonist grew up and became a big guy. In the process of a firefight between the big villain and various sects, the grown-up male protagonist is eating noodles, encounters a fight scene, and directly opens and hangs, shocking everyone. Subsequently, the villain began to look for this male protagonist in various ways, and wanted to kill him quickly.
At this time, the male protagonist began to worship the teacher. Who are you looking for? A man who is very skilled in martial arts in the opening story. This master of the Jingwu Gate has a group of masters under his hands. At the beginning, there was a little bit of Chen Zhen looking for Huo Yuanjia's meaning, which once made fans think that this movie was not a fantasy joke about Chen Zhen and Huo Yuanjia? Later stories changed the perception of fans.
It turned out that this master of the Jingwu Gate was actually the apprentice of the old master who had died, and he led a group of master brothers to practice martial arts to avenge the master. The one asked, since he is in a city, why can't the big villain just come to find something directly, take the opportunity to kill this group of division brothers, and let them accompany their master to travel west with a crane? This is the "uniqueness" of the film, that is, it does not talk about basic logical truth. Anyway, I just want to think of one play is one out.
The story continues to the front. The main villain began to look for the Jingwu Gate "you die and I live". Originally thought that the master of the Jingwu Gate was very powerful, who knows, in a few minutes of the film content, this master brother was killed. Thinking that he is the strongest and tallest person, he has actually become cannon fodder. Next, it was even more mysterious, after the male protagonist suffered a blow, he actually opened all kinds of bloodlines, and the combat effectiveness exploded. Then, the male protagonist subdued the villain.
The man asked, the male protagonist and his father can't beat the big villain, how can the male protagonist defeat the big villain as soon as he opens it? Don't ask why, this kind of fantasy online movie is afraid of fans asking why. It is precisely because it is too weak in narrative logic that it will become the object of ridicule among fans. For this movie, if you change a name that has nothing to do with Jingwumen and Huo Yuanjia, it is understandable that it exists as a fantasy-style bad film.
However, it has to position its name as "New Jingwumen: Martial Soul", which can only make fans feel that eating is too ugly. What does this kind of illogical fantasy fighting have to do with Jingwumen and Huo Yuanjia and others? From another point of view, does this "New Jingwumen: Martial Soul" have a reverence for classic film and television drama works? We have no problem studying the classics and imitating the classics, but we should definitely not engage in such a mysterious and illogical and real movie in the name of tribute. This is not a tribute, this is a waste of the three words "Jingwumen".
Of course, "New Jingwumen: Martial Soul" is not useless. One of the advantages of fantasy films is that they dare to produce some particularly brilliant special effects content in terms of scenes. For this work, although there is no logic to fight, the specific moves of fighting are common in fantasy films. In recent times, the poor quality of fantasy film and television dramas has disappeared. This "New Jingwumen: Martial Soul" is a nostalgia for the fantasy of bad films.
As for the performances of several young leading actors, because the story lacks a sense of reality and the mysterious content is illogical, the actors can only perform the whole process of embarrassment. The most embarrassing thing is the kind of love between the male and female protagonists in the work that happens for no reason when they meet. It seems that without love, it cannot become a fantasy movie.
As for the performances of several well-known veteran actors, they are just assembly line operations. These veteran actors once had many excellent film and television drama works. However, as the times progressed, they gradually could not receive better scripts. In the face of a work of the quality of "New Jingwumen: Martial Soul", I can only infinitely sympathize with these old actors. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
