Chapter 389, The spirit of the prairie fire is the national art!
Martial arts is the art of killing people.
This has been the understanding since ancient times.
He was not created to strengthen the body. His original intention was to be a survival game technique among ancient people in a society where the strong preyed on the weak.
Wing Chun is no exception.
Born in the midst of war, they kill for self-preservation.
The greatest pursuit of a martial artist is to become a master and be remembered through the ages.
Many martial arts have been preserved with this original intention.
The Ip Man in front of him.
His martial arts skills are powerful, undoubtedly powerful, especially with such shooting techniques.
There are no fancy stunts, just one-shot continuity.
The essence of Shaw Brothers' martial arts has been preserved.
Smooth fighting moves and realistic Kung Fu performance.
The Ip Man in front of us is graceful and elegant. From the perspective of kung fu and demeanor, he can indeed be called a master of his generation.
But there is also a hint of arrogance between his brows.
After all, he is so young and has reached such a level in martial arts.
It is normal to be a little arrogant.
Wu Jinquan said while looking at the big screen in front of him.
"At least visually, it can satisfy our addiction. I am surprised by this kind of action scene."
After all, in Wu Jinquan's view, his leading actor Li Yun is a martial arts talent himself.
Great talent! Martial arts visuals.
Liu Dehua has a very high opinion of "Ip Man", a high opinion without any filter.
Because of this wonderful martial arts scene,
It satisfied the expectations of him as a martial arts fan.
The fight was truly spectacular.
The plot is not very clear at this point, but the action scenes are definitely excellent.
"If the subsequent martial arts scenes can maintain this level, at least the ticket price will be worth it." Liu Dehua smiled slightly at this time.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet, Brother Liu. The performance afterwards will definitely be worth more than the ticket price." Li Yun also smiled.
Liu Dehua was slightly curious.
Far more than worth the ticket price.
Is it still a martial arts performance?
According to King Liu's understanding, the biggest selling point of this kind of Shaw Brothers' spiritual movies is martial arts.
Although King Liu loves this type of movie-watching experience.
But I would just think of it as a movie to watch for entertainment after dinner.
To say the visual experience far exceeds the ticket price.
That's a bit exaggerated.
Even the letter of allegiance was not something special in his mind.
At least it wouldn't make him feel that it was worth far more than the ticket price.
Only a good movie can be said to be worth far more than the price of the ticket.
However, martial arts films that can be watched to relax after dinner are obviously not enough.
"Then I have to open my eyes and take a look. By the way, Xiao Li, can you give me some of your popcorn?"
"Brother Liu, aren't you an advocate of healthy eating?"
"It's okay to have a cheat meal once in a while, especially when you're relaxing after dinner."
Li Yun handed his junk food to King Liu.
Watch a visual feast movie while eating junk food.
King Liu thinks this kind of life is pretty good.
It's quite comfortable too.
The movie is still going on at this time. The invincible Ip Man's invincible kung fu and the feeling of a grandmaster are shown on this strong man.
At least from the perspective of martial arts performance, the performance of this great master is absolutely worthy of his title.
It definitely lives up to its name.
But in fact, some viewers have a doubt.
It’s about the era of movies.
Generally speaking, the old Shaw Brothers Kung Fu films were mostly set between the late Ming and early Qing dynasties or the late Qing dynasty, so the setting of the time period is very important.
In the Ming Dynasty.
Firearms were no longer a rare sight, let alone during the Qing Dynasty.
And then came the era of Ip Man.
Tanks and airplanes have already come out, and the Maxim machine gun is almost 100 years old.
Times have really changed.
And it got big.
So to what extent can the skills he is so proud of be of any use here?
Soon the movie recommendation gave the audience a result.
Overnight, Ip Man went from being a rich young master and a small landlord to a down-and-out mortal living in a small nest.
Having a huge fortune, no worries about food and clothing, a mansion, good fields and servants are all things of the past.
The only person by his side is his loyal wife Zhang Yongzhi.
Overnight, he went from being the object of envy to being a poor person who couldn’t even guarantee his next meal.
Many years of non-productive work.
At this time, Ip Man couldn't even support his family. Zhang Yongzhi had no choice but to sell his dowry in exchange for thin rice.
The development of this plot was unexpected for everyone.
It's also reasonable.
The invincible Master Ye.
After all, they were no match for the powerful guns of ships. So what if one person could dismantle Li Zhao's pistol? ?
They not only have pistols, but also machine guns, Maxim machine guns, tanks, and bombers.
Your ancestors' kung fu is nothing compared to these things.
The movie shows this directly and cruelly.
Even the martial arts master can't do anything.
"Insult, this is absolutely an insult! I'm going to sue this Ip Man! The film's main creators can just wait to receive our lawyer's letter!"
At this time, the old masters of the Wushu Association were also watching the movie. There was no other reason for this. After all, there was a Northern Kung Fu master like Chen Zhihui. It made sense for them to give him some face and watch the movie before criticizing it.
An angry Mi Lan Fang stormed out on the spot. If it was too much for the main creators of "Ip Man" to not pay, then now it had touched the bottom line.
An insult to the bottom line of Chinese martial arts.
"Yes, the creators of "Ip Man" are so ignorant and they deserve to be taught a lesson. I didn't expect them to insult martial arts like this!" Ma Guohu also chimed in.
Now it’s not a question of whether or not to get the money.
He directly pointed out that Chinese martial arts could not defeat guns and cannons.
Isn't this an insult to the orthodoxy of Chinese martial arts? This is an insult to martial arts!
"After filming something like this, I must apologize in front of the entire nation!"
Ma Guohu and his men did not hesitate and started the war.
When I got home, I used the Internet and my own Weibo account to boycott this thing with my real name.
“Interesting.”
At this time, Stephen Chow was in the cinema, watching the performance in front of him.
Only now did he raise his head slightly.
There is no other reason, the action scenes in "Ip Man" are indeed wonderful.
This is such a satisfying experience that he can't stop watching it. It is more than enough as a work of entertainment.
It is a form of expression that is quite similar to the glory days of Shaw Brothers in the last century.
This martial arts action scene is indeed good-looking.
As a visual feast, it is qualified.
But at this moment, Zhou Xingxing saw the invincible Master Ye in front of him in such a miserable state.
He actually felt a little surprised.
It's not the fancy Wing Chun routine that was used to beat the Japanese.
That's enough to be surprising.
At this time, although the master who was fighting for the daily necessities was miserable, he made people feel that he was a living person.
No, a martial artist who can only punch and kick.
But this would weaken his attributes as a master . Okay.
Under so many foreign guns and cannons, his orthodoxy as a master had long been weakened and nothing remained. No matter how good your kung fu is, won't your family property be taken away and you become homeless? It doesn't matter that he has a little more of the common people's atmosphere.
But this is also what Master Xing likes.
The atmosphere of the city.
It feels more like a human being.
The Wu family father and son were also silent as they watched the movie "Ip Man" and tore through this scene with heavy heart.
Ip Man could dismantle Li Zhao's pistol with his bare hands, but he couldn't defeat so many tanks.
The fate of martial artists of that era is also revealed.
Lin, a martial arts fanatic, was not as skilled as his opponent and was killed by a random attack.
Master Liao, in a compromising manner, was willing to hide his strength and be a sandbag for a bag of rice.
Jinshan is more direct. He becomes a bandit and draws his sword to attack the weaker ones.
All martial arts masters except Ip Man suffered the same fate.
The atmosphere of the whole movie is depressing, sad and solemn, and becomes quite heavy, which fits the context of the times.
The devils invaded.
Committed brutal atrocities against the Chinese land.
The fate of those martial artists also became extremely tragic.
They can't stop anything.
You can't stop the tracks of steel.
"This is the truth about martial arts. Although I didn't expect the movie to be portrayed this way, this is indeed the truth about martial arts, the cruel truth."
Wu Jinquan sighed softly.
I didn’t expect that this movie “Ip Man” was so daring to be filmed.
There's nothing to refute.
It really brought out all the pain points of martial arts.
The biggest pain point is that in today's era, the necessity of martial arts has been infinitely weakened.
Because you can't beat guns.
This has become an iron rule.
It has become an iron rule that no one can refute.
It is indeed normal for those martial artists to be oppressed to death.
Because this is the true side of the times.
But if you shoot movies as a medium of art like this... Just when Wu Jinquan was feeling extremely puzzled, Ip Man took action.
He carried his anger with him.
And Wing Chun.
Say this directly from your heart.
I want to beat ten of them! Master Ye performed a one-shot show, showing how to beat ten of them by yourself.
How a group fight should be fought.
I fight a group of people alone!
This is what Ye Wen is doing at this moment.
His Wing Chun is no longer based on clever strength, but more on hard hitting of other people's weaknesses and joints.
Accurate, decisive and vicious.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
And the emotions we showed when we were fighting with Jinshan Zhao and Master Liao were completely different.
The biggest difference is that when facing the Japanese, he held nothing back, from martial arts to emotions.
There is an unparalleled murderous aura in it.
If Ip Man was serious, he could really beat everyone here to death.
One person fights ten, it's a blood-pumping scene.
It truly demonstrates what real physical fighting moves are like.
"good!"
Wu Jing shouted subconsciously, but at this moment he also realized that he was in a movie theater, and quickly apologized.
But anyway.
He always has a feeling of blood boiling and expressing his emotions directly from the heart.
No matter whether it is reasonable or not.
But he beat the Japanese with his fists.
This scene is really refreshing! It's really refreshing.
Ip Man's Kung Fu is very strong.
If one person beats ten, it is not just talk, but a real beating on the bodies of others.
The director seems to be really expressing one thing.
He was really trying to tell the audience.
What is so-called martial arts?
Regardless of whether this scene is logical or not, it is enough to serve as a mid-term climax of the play.
I have to admit that.
The acting and choreography here are so exciting.
Wing Chun Ip Man.
Master Ye attacking the bottom lane, that kind of refreshing feeling is what a commercial film should have.
And then the plot.
Ip Man was thrown into prison.
He only felt sorry, sorry towards his wife Zhang Yongzhi.
He failed to fulfill his duties as a husband.
At this time in prison, Ye Wen already felt like he was waiting to die, and death was constantly approaching him.
When he humiliated the Japanese, he was already on the way to death.
He regrets, but he doesn't regret.
This is a monologue.
The interpretation of Ip Man's mentality is very clear.
It also fully expresses Li Yun's acting skills.
The acting skills are fully demonstrated.
"You regret it, but you don't regret it. You regret not taking good care of your wife and children and not being able to keep them alive. But you don't regret it either. You don't regret taking action at all. Even if you are given another chance, you will still swing your fist and take down these hateful and arrogant devils."
Liu Dehua was watching the scene in front of him at this time.
The whole body is vibrating.
Because this is a psychological drama without any lines, but Li Yun is able to convey information to the audience through slight changes in his facial expressions.
Let the audience resonate and understand the character's emotions.
Now Liu Dehua felt it, felt Ip Man’s emotions and felt his choice.
With empathy, he felt that no matter what decision Ip Man made, it was understandable.
There is no small home further.
One step back and you lose everyone.
It’s very difficult.
But he still made a choice.
Soon he captured the Japanese colonel.
At this time, the Japanese colonel still had some respect for his talent.
I want to let Ip Man become the Japanese's martial arts instructor and learn the pure Chinese martial arts. Master Ip Man will also be treated as a guest of honor and be released from prisoner status so that he doesn't have to sacrifice his precious life after tomorrow's decisive battle.
Facts have proved that the colonel would not kill Ip Man unless it was necessary. He had a feeling of admiration for Ip Man.
But in the Japanese arena, only one person can leave alive. If the dead person is Ip Man, then it is naturally another great victory for the Onigashima Empire. But if the dead person is Colonel Sato, the Japanese soldiers under his command will not let the person who killed their leader leave.
For Ip Man.
Tomorrow's decisive battle will be a fight to the death.
The only way to survive is to surrender. This is the only way for Wing Chun Ip Man to survive. He must surrender to the empire, submit to the empire, and offer his loyalty.
Ye Wen's mood was quite calm.
After a night of ideological struggle, he made a choice between his small family and the interests of the country.
A wife, Zhang Yongzhi, would definitely support his decision.
Tomorrow I will walk alone on the road to certain death.
Literary drama.
This is the part of Ip Man that no one had expected in the movie. He appeared in this corner silently.
This was not discovered at first, but it does exist.
Ip Man's mental journey, from a young master, a master of his generation, a respected celebrity, to an ordinary civilian man, a husband who works hard to support his family.
From being a person who was one level higher than others in terms of psychological class, he became just like an ordinary person.
At first he was not used to such changes. Even though he was kind-hearted, this class fall made him feel lost.
He is still respected, but he no longer deserves this respect.
Because at this time he could not protect his home, the martial arts that he was proud of, nor his family. He could not protect anything.
He felt a heavy oppression.
And there is loss.
Until he could no longer bear it and beat the Japanese for his colleagues, he knew that he was going to die, but still decided to move forward.
His image became three-dimensional.
Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country.
At this time, Liu Dehua was watching the movie intently.
Will you win or lose?
Can Master Ye win? What will happen if he wins?
These questions and curiosities were circling in King Liu's mind, and at this moment he had no time to eat his snacks.
Now he just wants to concentrate on enjoying this movie.
It's not just a popcorn action movie.
At this time, "Ip Man" presents another exciting one-shot fighting scene, Wing Chun.
This time, the Wing Chun was not as murderous and angry as when he was fighting ten people, but instead had a strange kind of peace.
This kind of ease had disappeared in the middle of the plot, but now it reappears.
Once again appeared in the body of the great master Ip Man.
Saw through every move of the colonel.
Every time it is resolved in the most perfect manner.
Look at this, devils.
This is our national martial art.
Our Chinese martial arts.
Thousands of years of inheritance, the essence of technology and spirit passed down from generation to generation has evolved in me.
This is martial arts.
"Ip Man will die." Liu Dehua saw that Ip Man was going to win, but there was also a hint of sadness between his brows.
He is going to die.
Because after he won, there was no reason to live.
"He's not dead."
At this moment, Li Yun looked at the big screen and said with a burning expression: "He won't die."
"Um?"
Winner.
Thanks to Ip Man's martial arts skills, the master won with ease.
At the same time, the Japanese soldiers who were ready to go loaded their guns with bullets.
Aim at Master Ye and prepare to shoot.
With Ye Wen at this moment, he did not dodge or evade, but faced the black muzzle of the gun directly.
I am Wing Chun Ip Man.
I am a master of my generation.
You can kill me, so what if you can kill my martial arts?
But you can't kill the spirit of our martial arts.
We pass on this spirit from generation to generation.
Ye Wen smiled slightly.
Prepare to die calmly.
The spirit of this scene, like a raging fire, burned the hearts of the onlookers.
They were also infected.
In anger.
Little Japs, get out of the Central Plains!
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
Ip Man was the spark that turned the spirit of martial arts into flames and totems.
Why do we practice martial arts? We resist and we defend our country.
This is Chinese martial art.
