If you step back thirty years, Li Bingyuan may really be able to make a splash. After all, the success of former martial arts champions Jet Li and Zhao Wenzhuo, coupled with the continuous dividends brought about by the successful transformation of kung fu films, as long as they keep the road of Mount Hua, they can still achieve a hit with solid skills and increasingly expanding national enthusiasm.
However, since "The Legend of the Shaolin Temple", Li Bingyuan seems to have gone farther and farther down the road of "not doing the right thing". Let's not say that from horror movies to comedies over and over again, take the "theater day trip" "Playing Life" that I want to talk about today, basically in accordance with the routine of clumsy comedy + make-up actions, a strange movie that has come out of the way.
In fact, in the heart of getting it, I still hope that the domestic genre film market is changing and thriving, after all, the domestic film industry under the guidance of "following the tide" has long been in the chaos of "follow the trend" and "narcissistic films". In addition to a number of "top actors", the genre films that are seriously done and the filmmakers who persist in it have been increasingly marginalized.
However, Li Bingyuan personally directed, wrote and starred in this "Playing for Life", which obviously became shoddy and cheap in the joint effect of the spiritual essence of "entertainment to death" and the embarrassing reality of "low-cost danger". It's not easy to reduce yourself, but mental retardation is your own problem.
Awkward comedy elements, seem to be very in line with the "trend", but the chinese audience is not lacking in the content product is "entertainment"; deliberately make some net red faces, peripheral legs to embellish the play, seemingly lively and provocative, in fact, sensational and very low-level; emotional films have begun to be over the limelight, only to remember to take the "dream" to say things, why did they go earlier? That's right, it's your own script, making yourself cheaper and cheaper, and you can't throw the pot, and you can't blame others.
As for getting the most anticipated action scenes, frankly speaking, the fight is quite exciting, in fact, so-so. Let's not talk about any innovations and breakthroughs, even the most basic beauty and explosiveness, it is difficult to say. Of course, this is not entirely Li Bingyuan's problem, and it is strange that the high-handed and low-handed editing has cut this film to pieces.
"Playing for Life" of "Theater Day Trip" is hardly a qualified action movie. The vulgar comedy and sloppy action that do not match each other are the culprits who directly lower the evaluation of this film. Finally, Teacher Li Bingyuan, the "kung fu dream" is hidden in the heart, and it is good to be a hit in the continuous forbearance, and it is too cheap to take it out and say.
