Two days ago, when I wrote the Eight Precepts of the Brilliant Spring Pig, I remembered an action star Kou Zhanwen, who played the two characters of Erniu and Houyi respectively, and the contrast between before and after was obviously impressive. Yesterday I saw a new movie called King Houyi, mistakenly thought it was the official movie of the King's Glory Game, and originally did not have much expectations, but found Kou Zhanwen, who played Dayi. The mythological color of the film is relatively strong, but instead of using the well-known theme of houyi shooting day, it uses the small yi shooting bat, and Kou Zhanwen plays the role of a successor, with the old leading the new and having a feeling in it.
Lazy people still like to watch Kou Zhanwen's plays, but in recent years, his works are getting less and less, mainly directors, I don't know if they are influenced by his disciple Wu Jing. Many years ago, I remembered Wu Jing's last interview program, and in the vcr was Kou Zhanwen's complaint about him, and it could be seen that the two had a good relationship. And Wu Jing's two works in 2008, Shuai Shuai and Wolf's Tooth, also have the figure of Kou Zhanwen, even if it is a supporting role, a big knife dance is not ambiguous. I deliberately searched for Wolf Warrior 1, which was broadcast in 15 years, and Kou Zhanwen co-directed the TV series Big World in 14 years, and it is also a pity that he did not see Kou Zhanwen in the Wolf Warrior series.
In fact, the movie is not the direction of Kou Zhanwen's main attack, but the earliest fame is because of Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, don't think that he is just a cameo horse bandit, in fact, the Chinese martial arts director of the movie is him, which can prove his strength more than simply a role. After that, putting aside the Eight Commandments of pigs series, Lü Bu and Zhang Fei in the marten cicada, Wei Chi Jingde in the sui and Tang heroes, and Liu Tang in the new water margin are all very classic characters. Many people may have forgotten Kou Zhanwen, but still remember these characters.
From 2010 to 2016, Kou Zhanwen participated in the directing of five works, and since then there has been no big news. When Wu Jing was preparing for Wolf Warrior 3, there was actually a call for Kou Zhanwen to star, but the specific circumstances are unknown, the latest movie he directed in 2020 is called Shushan 2 Sword Demon, and lazy people are preparing to take a look, but also look forward to more and better works of his.
