The Director of Music Department

"Director Wang, don't many people now say that the biggest reason for the decline of martial arts is that they have been impacted by more special effects movies with more cool pictures, so shouldn't we seek breakthroughs from the pictures?" At this time , Suddenly a voice sounded.

Wang Yifan turned his head and saw a man with gray hair.

The person here is an old director from Hong Kong Island, and this director named Xu Ce can be said to be an old-school martial arts film director.

"It turned out to be director Xu Ce. In my opinion, Director Xu's words are right or wrong!" Wang Yifan felt the same for a veteran director like Xu Ce.

In fact, Xu Ce has not directed a movie for many years.

However, Xu Ce's influence in Hong Kong Island's film industry is still there, because many Hong Kong Island filmmakers, directors, and stars have all been supported by Xu Ce to some extent.

For example, Tang Tian is like this.

At some point, not only Xu Ce came over, but several other directors also came over.

Among them is Cao Meng who has already quit Ahri Media.

It's just that the others didn't say anything, but listened to the conversation of Wang Yifan and others with great interest.

"Simply put, yes, that's true. Hollywood blockbusters used to rely on their first-class special effects blockbusters to open up markets around the world, bringing movies into the era of special effects!" Wang Yifan said calmly among the crowd.

Everyone else nodded, and looked at Wang Yifan expectantly.

After all, Wang Yifan's achievements are unmatched by everyone present.

Therefore, his words naturally carry a halo!

"But in fact, we all know that relying solely on pictures and special effects can indeed amaze the audience in the early days of the prevalence of special effects in movies, and perhaps get good results by doing so. But as the special effects technology becomes more and more mature, Nowadays, audiences have already watched too many special effects movies, and at this time, the movie needs to return to the movie story itself.”

"Some people say that the action, picture, etc. of martial arts movies have been crushed by special effects such as fairy tales, fantasy, and all kinds of fancy superpowers. This is one of the reasons why martial arts movies have declined, but in fact, is this really the case? ?” Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

Many directors shook their heads in unison when they thought about it carefully.

The same is true for Xu Ce.

"Actually, in my opinion, there may be some reasons for this, but it is definitely not the main reason, because it is not only special effects movies that can sell well. Many action movies are still full of punches, and no special effects are used at all. It can be said that it is the most authentic action scene, and the picture and the like cannot be compared with those fancy special effects, but it does not prevent this kind of movie from being sold well." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"In fact, everyone understands the truth, and I am talking about it in a cliché, but how to make martial arts stand out from the encirclement and return to the market?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Yes, what is Director Wang's opinion?" Xu Ce asked expectantly and curiously.

Others also looked at Wang Yifan one after another.

Wang Yifan has long been used to being the focus of the crowd!

"Well, what do you all think? Director Xu and you must have done some research in this area, why don't you talk about it and discuss it together?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Xu Ce didn't mean to give in, but said, "I don't agree with Director Wang's previous statement that martial arts don't meet the needs of the general social environment."

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "I'm just a family's opinion, and it may not be right. Director Xu, please continue."

Xu Ce continued: "In my opinion, "chivalry" is in demand at any time, such as being brave in the face of justice, seeing injustice in the face of injustice, is this considered chivalry? Obviously it is."

Wang Yifan also agreed with Xu Ce's words, and everyone else nodded.

In fact, is it chivalrous to act bravely in the face of injustice? Of course it does.

"I've always believed that the way of chivalry in our traditional sense is actually mostly the way of the rivers and lakes. The so-called people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes is probably the most often cited in martial arts works."

"So, the background of many martial arts works is nihilistic anarchism. We often see in martial arts works, it seems that ordinary people, or small people, their lives are not their lives. They are killed, and there is no law at all. Sanctions are obviously unacceptable to people living under the legal system at this stage."

"Martial arts, Jiang Hu, are usually composed of killing, revenge, etc., and these, in a society ruled by law, will obviously make people feel that it is against harmony." Xu Ce pondered for a moment and then said.

"So I think that if martial arts is to be accepted by the public again and return to the mainstream, then we must abandon the old martial arts routines, at least not really be lawless..."

"It's just that I don't have a clue for now." After Xu Ce finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yifan and then at everyone.

Tang Tian also said: "Actually, in "Jin Yi", I have always wanted to show martial arts that are different from the previous martial arts routines. In "Jin Yi", it mainly talks about fate and reality..."

However, Wang Yifan shook his head and said: "In my opinion, "Jinyi" is full of love and reality, too entangled with love and the reality of small people."

"It lies in the desire, the desire is one thing, and the fate is another. Every happiness and tragedy of the protagonist in the play comes from the love for another person. If there is no love, there is no weakness. This movie is always complete and wonderful. of."

Hearing Wang Yifan's comments, Tang Tian felt a little complicated. After thinking about it, it was true, but in fact, he still did not break away from the old school of martial arts.

To put it bluntly, in "Jin Yi", in the final analysis, it is also a kind of person who can't help himself in the rivers and lakes.

"Let me tell you my opinion. From my point of view, whether it is "Jin Yi" or many other martial arts, they have always been influenced by the inherent martial arts. They are all about Jianghu love, blood and romance. It doesn’t matter whether it’s fate or helplessness, but in the final analysis, it’s all more “personal” things, and the most difficult thing about martial arts is actually to recreate a kind of sympathy for the audience.”

"In the early martial arts, what resonated with the audience was that killing a person in ten steps would not stop him for thousands of miles, and he drew his sword in a fit of anger to repay his hatred."

"Are these things obsolete? No, but those who watch martial arts. The earliest ones are actually young people, teenagers. They have not experienced the tempering of society, so their ideas are relatively naive, and they naturally yearn for this kind of world. But now, There are more and more spiritual food that can be provided to teenagers, martial arts are naturally forgotten, but for adults, they are more realistic and rational, so it is even more difficult for this kind of martial arts to resonate."
