Chapter 345, I walk alone on the road to certain death
Li Yun’s kung fu is very good, and this has been clear since the beginning of filming.
Very clear.
After all, the fight scenes with Master Liao were also performed with great effort.
But what is unexpected is.
Li Yun's fighting was so exaggerated. He really fought with real people, one against ten, and beat these dragon and tiger masters of Kyokushin Karate to pieces. You should know that these dragon and tiger masters are also top-notch fighters. They all have their own methods, but now, they have lost miserably. It seems that Ye Wen really vented his anger.
It seems that my heart has indeed become much more relaxed.
I have to admit that the feeling of one person fighting ten is indeed very intimidating.
It was also very refreshing. Chen Zhihui, the sacrificed 'Master Liao' also had to admit this.
In the pure field of martial arts.
The Li Yun in front of him is undeniably an absolute master.
And it seems this is a superb martial arts performance.
It can also vent some of the depressed mood in Chen Zhihui.
It also gave this traditional martial arts master some comfort and even shock.
His kung fu is really amazing.
But what would happen if we only had ten people to fight the Japanese now?
Most of the depressed mood in my heart is still there.
No venting.
Because even a stubborn martial arts master like Chen Zhihui knows it.
Powerful and exquisite martial arts.
I can beat ten Japanese devils, but what's the point? "Modern traditional kung fu movies are no longer fun. In our words, they no longer have a place to stand in this era."
At this moment in Hong Kong, in the Ginza Building Cafe.
Xie Ming from Jiashang Entertainment stated the reason behind this matter very confidently.
This time, the Xiangjiang project was actually led by his company in Taiwan.
People from Emperor Entertainment, HuaDa Films, and even Shaw Brothers have joined forces to take the lead.
And in front of Xie Ming was the descendant of the founder of Kung Fu movies, his name was Shao Tian.
The second son of the current head of Shaw Group.
"Indeed, the kung fu film category is dead. It has nothing left except for the sentiment."
Shao Tian also said lightly.
"In this day and age, doing things involving real people and real fighting is already outdated."
"Does your old man think so too?"
"The old man is out of date too."
"He was abandoned by this era a long time ago. Now he has been forgotten by Emperor Entertainment Group for a long time. The times have really changed. It is no longer their era, nor is it an era in which they can make profits."
"In fact, it's not that action movies have been abandoned, but that the genre of kung fu movies has been abandoned."
Xie Ming smiled faintly at this time.
Indeed, Kung Fu holds a very special place in the hearts of the Chinese people.
It was even a cultural representative at one point.
But that's it.
The derivative categories of action movies now include more exciting mixed martial arts and more visually impactful gun fights.
Kung Fu no longer has his advantage
The one that endures.
The one who gets things done.
The advantage of his movies is that no one can replicate it. In addition to the comedy elements, another point is that he is dangerous enough.
If anything had gone wrong, Brother Long wouldn’t be alive today.
In fact, Cheng Shilong almost died several times. There is only one very pure reason why he is still alive today.
Good luck.
So there is only one successful dragon in the East.
I haven't heard of anyone trying the kung fu comedy genre.
"So that's why we're discussing Kung Fu movies."
"Don't Oriental Films still stubbornly shoot traditional Kung Fu films? What about Ip Man?" Xie Ming paused and said, "It's rare to see such retro themes in this era."
Shao Tian never took this plan seriously.
Not to mention that Oriental Films itself is a second-tier company, different from the big projects they are working on together.
It is different from The Warlords in terms of cast, script and subject matter.
From all aspects, it seems that this Ip Man cannot compare to his own The Letter of Support.
There is the Kung Fu Emperor who returns from Hollywood.
"He will definitely lead our Hong Kong film industry to rise again. With Hollywood's technology and themes, his acting skills, and his understanding, he will bring our Hong Kong film industry back to glory."
"Here's to future glory, my friend."
"Cheers."
Right now.
The other person they were waiting for also pushed the door open. She was a very beautiful woman, but in her 30s.
But she is not a star actress.
Her name is Xie Qingya. She is the leader of Huaying and is responsible for investing in and producing films.
It is opposed to the Mingyao faction within.
If we talk about the Mingyao faction, what they care about is introducing foreign films.
Then Xie Qingya represents the faction that focuses on internal investment.
One group, two factions.
"Boss Xie, you're here to visit the studio too?"
Even Shao Tian did not dare to neglect her, so she was responsible for all investment and production projects in Greater China.
"Let's go and take a look at our pledge of allegiance."
The gorgeous short-haired woman wearing red high heels, with narrow eyebrows, tapped the table with her slender fingers: "Let's see how Li Lianjie, the Kung Fu Emperor, who we spent a lot of money to invite back, performs."
undoubtedly.
This effect is probably excellent.
The Kung Fu Emperor is very good in both fighting and acting.
Also I discussed were Jin Chengwu and Liu Dehua.
Liu Dehua also expressed regret.
It’s a pity that Li Yun was not invited over.
This movie is bound to create a sensation.
I feel this way from top to bottom.
A story about feudal generals and bandits in the Qing Dynasty.
If it was released at the same time as Ip Man, Ip Man would probably be crushed to the point where not even a trace would be left.
Ip Man.
Also after the late Qing Dynasty and during the Republic of China.
The elements of the times have made firearms a fairly mature thing in this era.
The significance of Kung Fu is not that great anymore.
So what if Li Yun can beat ten people alone?
He is an extremely exquisite martial arts scene.
In fact, even the Ip Man in Li Yun’s mind was asking Li Yun the same question.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
What do you think is the significance of Kung Fu in this era? What is my significance as a master?
Even I don’t know anymore.
So, now a situation that is absolutely weird and ridiculous is happening.
Ip Man was asking Li Yun how he became a master.
The current Master Ye is also unknown.
All his aura as a master had disappeared.
What is left of him.
"It seems that I understood it earlier than you, Master Ye."
What is martial arts? Both Chen Zhihui and some other martial arts masters in the crew think that it is a killing technique passed down from ancient times and belongs to our ancestors.
But Li Yun is different. He does not have any lofty belief in Chinese martial arts, nor does he think that Chinese martial arts can play any vital role in modern times.
So he is meaningless?
This is the confusion of Chen Zhihui and others.
The confusion that exists in their hearts.
The existence of the master is to break this confusion and become a spiritual totem and belief.
This is how Ip Man was portrayed from the very beginning, so when he bowed down for his wife, it made people angry, and when he stood up and beat up ten people for Master Liao and martial arts fanatic Lin, it made people excited.
I won against Kyokushin Karate.
In the end, my opponent was a colonel from a small town.
This last battle is a crucial one.
It was even a battle in which Ip Man would die.
Before the fight, Colonel Sato once said to Ip Man.
As long as you become our islanders' martial arts instructor, you won't fight a battle in which you are sure to die.
First of all, I will not lose. I am different from those 10 losers you knocked down. I am also a big name in the martial arts world.
I can hit 10 too.
However, even if we take a step back.
Even if you win, can you walk out of the arena?
If you lose, I will beat you to death. If you win, my men will beat you to death.
Only if you surrender, you won’t die.
Ip Man-kun.
What is your choice?
Ip Man’s choice was simple.
war.
Go fight, this is a fight to the death.
A battle where you have to fight alone on the road to certain death.
Here, Li Yun's expression changes from complicated, even a little timid, to finally calm and comfortable.
The emotional expression in my heart changed many times.
It turns out that eyes can really speak.
He is a flesh-and-blood person, so he has concerns because his wife and children are still alive.
So for the sake of my wife and children, I am also afraid of dying.
The same is true of this shrinking.
Represents human fear.
But in the end, I felt calm and relieved.
But knowing that he was going to die, he finally made the decision with calmness and relief.
At this moment, Chen Zhihui and others felt as if their hearts were hit hard.
This is the tension brought by the literary drama that they looked down upon before.
And then there’s the tension that comes with the next shot.
This scene was requested by Li Yun.
What we see before us is a huge crowd of Japanese soldiers.
They were holding cold guns.
Looking down at Li Yun.
Including Colonel Miura Sato.
Ye Wen, with handcuffs on his hands, slowly walked up from the stage with a look of enlightenment in his eyes.
This is a road that will lead to death.
This is a solitary road.
I walk alone on the road to death.
Even if tens of millions of people go there.
What is martial arts, what is a master? When Ip Man, played by Lee Yun, sets out on his deathbed in this scene, he does not have the temperament of a master.
There is nothing deliberately acted out that represents the grand master.
But in this scene, this back view.
It has explained everything.
What is a martial arts master.
That's it.
