What do you think of Tsui Hark?

When people are young, they should be a little unconstrained; When you are old, you should learn to be a man. Tsui Hark, known as the "skinny monkey", has always been unwilling to be lonely, which is very difficult for him. Martin scorsese is old, and he is still competing with Spielberg.

When he was young, he had the reputation of Spielberg in Hong Kong. I don't know whether he is ambitious or not. Mr. Xu has been "rejecting" Hollywood and staying alone in Hong Kong, a teetering country. When the latecomers began to get through the acupoints of martial arts, they made waves in the field of so-called oriental culture. Tsui Hark has also "fallen" and pointed to the sword ranking.

If you count Hu Jinquan, Zhang Che and other predecessors, Tsui Hark is at least ranked as the "seventh sword" in the history of China's martial arts movies, because you have to put Bruce Lee's nunchakus in, and you have to take Ang Lee's climbing over the eaves as a breakthrough. In that case, people like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige would be unorthodox. To put it mildly, as long as Liu Jialiang appears, today's martial arts movies can't be romantic. At that time, Liu Jialiang was not so good as a martial arts coach. Once he made a movie, he vowed to use Shaolin Temple as a training room.

Anyway, Tsui Hark has his moments of pride. One eighth or one tenth of the new wave in Hong Kong should belong to Tsui Hark. Although Xu's talent may not be above and, the latter does not know how to hold a knife above commercial movies. To tell you the truth, Tsui Hark's early movies Butterfly Change, Hell No Gate and The First Danger all made me scream. Although the butterfly crime in Butterfly Change has the shadow of Hitchcock's Birds, and although the strange colors in Hell Without Doors have a sense of absurdity similar to that of Japanese movies, we should understand it in this way out of respect. It belongs to tsui hark.

Having said that, there is always something that seems to belittle Tsui Hark. In fact, Tsui Hark's movie titles always have a mysterious feeling. The legendary swordsman will probably not be regarded as Hu Jinquan's work, although the title of the film is still under the name of director Hu Jinquan. However, some films directed by Yuan Heping or others and made by Tsui Hark are now generally regarded as "Tsui Hark movies".

A man with a desire for control, or a man with a talent beyond words, has no skills in the snobbish era of fame and fortune, under the red carpet of money.

In the understanding of commercialization, the old man and Mr. Xu are not the same. It can be said that while Zhang Yimou is still striving for the artistic erection man, Tsui Hark has been ambushed by the art movie box office. Therefore, Tsui Hark made a change in time. In the case that the new wave in Hong Kong is as ghostly as ghosts, Tsui Hark has his own film dynasty.

He brought laughter, abuse and coquetry to martial arts films. Vulgaria saved Tsui Hark himself, and the era of Hu Jinquan and Zhang Che was quietly extinguished. The most unbearable scene appeared in the cooperation between Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan. Tsui Hark is also a refined man, but he asked Hu Jinquan to be the general director of the legendary swordsman, in fact, to let a humanistic elder taste the anti-traditional poisoned wine brewed by the younger generation, so it ended in discord. Comparing the legendary swordsman's style with Hu Jinquan's "Come and have a drink with me" or "Today's Chivalrous Woman" is definitely an era of "rape".

Of course, we don't think it's too much for Maggie Cheung to play the proprietress of the new Longmen Inn. In the final analysis, that kind of posturing can't be called the damage of Hu Jinquan Longmen Inn, but the inn drama of China's martial arts movies eventually evolved into an inn farce.

If you don't hate Rosamund Kwan's 13th aunt, and if you don't regard Jet Li as a direct biography of Kwan Tak-hing, then in any case, it's not the dirt between your teeth that grinds funny teeth. How many people open their mouths and laugh wildly? The first three "Huang Feihong" are classics in the post-martial arts film era.

It is easy for us to regard the revival of martial arts in 2 1 century as the post-era of taking the mass line. Everything is like a premeditated collective comparison. Starting from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there may not be such an intention. In fact, this is a game to shake off the housekeeping goods with oriental temperament to the ignorant in the west. The real market is in the west, and everyone knows how many people in this industry will share this soup. When "Seven Swords" sounded the drums, the author was watching the China Contemporary Art Exhibition in Switzerland. The signboard poster is a young woman's costume work during the Cultural Revolution, named Mahjong. My disgust is not just physical. I don't envy the China artists who participated in the art exhibition for selling well at all, because I thoroughly understand how westerners view China from China's art. Martial arts films are just an entertainment trick and have little to do with the oriental spirit.

Although it has been exported again and again, it may only be that Quentin, the prodigal son of Hollywood, intends to direct a remake of traditional martial arts; Maybe it's just that Tsui Hark got the sixth sword before Ang Lee, but who can recall the time when Zhang Che filmed martial arts for China people?

Tsui Hark's gains and losses are very interesting coordinates of China's films. The failure of his biography of Shushan must be the result of blindly accepting western high technology, but the aesthetic achievement of his knife is a profound understanding of tradition.

Everything is fate. In fact, Tsui Hark's position in Hong Kong films and even Chinese films has long been decided. John Woo and Yu Rentai, who were destined to debut later, marched into Hollywood, otherwise John Woo would not deny that Hero 2 was his own work; It's time for Jing Wong and Stephen Chow to play funny comedies and steal Mr. Xu's thunder; Life should drive Hu Jinquan away so that he can never recover; Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong were given the role of dressing people in wedding clothes, and they are forever roles.

Tsui Hark is not Zhang Yimou. He was born with artistic strategy. Dropping things slowly is to stay in the East.
