A butterfly flies across the sea and over the steep and towering mountains.
The camera gradually zooms out, and the overall outline of the mountain appears, turning into the word "Kung Fu".
This title sequence is unique and creative, fully demonstrating the height and momentum of the "Kung Fu" mountain.
The huge screening hall suddenly burst into warm applause.
In view of Yang Ye's status as a master of kung fu, many people believe that this is Yang Ye using this scene to tell the world that he is the pinnacle of kung fu.
"Who else?"
The boss of the Crocodile Gang makes his debut.
"Such a beautiful woman was caught here just because she spat on the ground. Is there any law? Is there any law?"
Seam Xiao An was domineering as soon as he appeared on the scene, but he was quickly destroyed by the Ax Gang.
Then the camera came to the Pig Cage Walled City. The prototype of this Pig Cage Walled City is the Kowloon Walled City at first glance.
Twenty years ago, Yang Ye emerged from the Kowloon Walled City and entered the world.
Now everyone knows why this movie is said to be autobiographical by Yang Ye.
It’s just that for some reason, the Kowloon Walled City is obviously in Hong Kong, but Yang Ye didn’t shoot in Hong Kong, but went to Shanghai to build a specious building.
In the next shot, Yang Ye himself did not appear immediately, but showed the various living beings of the residents of the walled city.
Inadvertently introduced the three people Coolie, Fried Ghost and Tailor, and also hinted that they have skills.
When the water outage incident ensued and the charter woman came on stage, many viewers couldn't help but smile.
Because the scene in which the housekeeper opens the window is exactly the same as the scene in "Seventy-Two Tenants" filmed by Pearl Film Studio in 1963.
Yuan Qiu even copied his expression, except that the original one held a toothbrush, while Yuan Qiu held a cigarette.
At this premiere, all the people present are professionals, and their common feature is that they watch a lot of films.
The movie "Seventy-Two Tenants" is very famous, and it has spawned various versions in later generations. Naturally, all the Chinese filmmakers here have seen it.
The following words, "Starting from tomorrow, water will be cut off on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and intermittent cuts on Tuesday, April, and Saturday." This reminds many people of the terrible water shortage in Hong Kong.
Decades have passed since this water shortage, but for many Hong Kong people, it is still etched deep in their memories.
Moreover, when there were floods in East China two years ago, it was deliberately mentioned by the Hong Kong media.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Ye finally appeared. His character this time was different from before.
In the past, he was super awesome every time and defeated everything.
This time, it was a gangster who went to the Pig Cage Walled City to deceive and collect protection money, and he didn't have any effort at all.
Despite this, everyone did not feel uncomfortable.
Because everyone knows that this is an autobiographical movie, telling the story of Yang Ye before his debut, so it is normal that he does not know kung fu for the time being.
Yang Ye collected protection money in Zhulong City Walled City, which aroused the anger of the crowd. Yang Ye shook his head and accidentally called the Ax Gang.
The plot of "Kung Fu" is just like the mountains at the beginning of the movie, one mountain is higher than the other.
The Crocodile Gang destroyed the police station, the Ax Gang destroyed the Crocodile Gang, and the three masters of the Walled City destroyed the Ax Gang...
The order of the appearance of these three masters is also regular, Twelve-Road Tan Legs, Hongjia Iron Line The martial arts of boxing and Wulang Bagua stick increase in sequence.
After the three masters violently beat up the Ax Gang, they attracted the help of Heaven and Earth.
The order of killing people is from easy to difficult.
When killing Twelve Road Tan’s legs, the camera was extremely freehand.
The melodious sound of the piano turned into invisible energy, inadvertently cutting off a bunch of branches and leaves behind Coolie Qiang.
Kui Liqiang didn't notice it, he continued walking, and the sound of the piano cut off a bucket on the roof.
A cat jumped down from the roof. The shadow it cast on the wall suddenly split into two parts, and a cloud of blood spilled on the wall.
When the sound of the piano cut off the street lights, Coolie Qiang finally reacted.
But it was too late, he turned around and his head fell to the ground.
It was obviously a bloody and cruel murder, but it was shot so poetically. This clever technique made many viewers marvel.
The head of the Twelve-Road Spring Kick was already on the ground before the attack was made. So what about the Hong Family Iron Wire Fist?
When killing the Hong Family Iron Fist, the sound of the piano became more concrete.
The sound of the piano turns into a sword, which can cut off the iron ring on the tailor's wrist and make deep cuts on the stone mill.
The powerful sound waves can even crush rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms and fly away.
The tailor managed to survive a few attacks, but was soon defeated.
Wulang Baguagu came to the rescue.
The shadows of knives all over the sky and the flying red tasseled spears are dazzling and breathtaking.
The fried ghost once had the upper hand, but in the end he fell short.
Every mountain is as high as a mountain. The charterer took action and used Tai Chi to beat the sky and the earth like a vegetable.
Tiancandican refused to admit defeat and used the ultimate move.
The two tightened the strings, and a powerful sound wave was played. Dozens of evil spirits wearing armor and holding knives with ferocious faces came one after another, and their momentum was very shocking.
But he was blown away by the charterer's lion's roar skill.
After the strong wind, there was only one pair of pants left.
After this battle, Hong Kong’s martial arts movies entered a realm that had never been seen before.
In the audience, Xu Ke looked at the big screen and fell into deep thought.
......
"The peerless master is here!"
"It seems that only the ultimate murderer, Huoyun Evil God, had such evil aura."
< br>“This kind of momentum is what people called the Condor Heroes back then...”
"Yang Guo!"
"Little Dragon Girl!"
When the landlord and landlord said their names, some people who were familiar with Yang Ye, such as Liu Xiaoqing and Liu Xiaoli, were shocked .
Yang Ye once jokingly told Liu Xiaoli that his grandfather's name was a household name and well-known throughout the country.
After Liu Xiaoli thought that Yang Ye came from a famous family, she asked him what his grandfather's name was.
But Yang Ye said seriously, his name is Yang Guo.
Liu Xiaoli almost laughed out loud at that time, but she just thought that Yang Ye refused to say anything, and even teased whether his grandma was called Xiao Longnu.
Yang Ye also admitted that it was.
Now after watching this movie, she suddenly realized that what Yang Ye said back then might be the truth.
……
The Condor Heroes and the Fire Cloud Evil God are different.
Masters in kung fu progress step by step and are divided into four levels.
The first level is the Crocodile Gang and the Ax Gang. They have some force value and run rampant.
They... think they are masters!
The second level is the twelve-way spring leg, the Hong family's iron fist, the Wulang Bagua stick, the world can be broken, and the Condor Heroes.
They are all self-aware and understand that there is heaven outside the world and there are people outside the world, so they usually hide themselves and do not reveal their identities easily.
They... know that they are not masters!
The third level is Fire Cloud Evil God. He also hides his identity, but only because he has no opponent in this world.
How lonely and empty it is to be invincible!
So he was admitted to a mental hospital.
When he knew that there was a peerless master in the world, he immediately went out and beat the opponent to death by any means necessary.
He...knows that he is a master! During the battle in the casino, the scene and special effects were upgraded again. When the battle reached its peak, the entire casino was razed to the ground.
Fire Cloud Evil God had the upper hand, but lost to the Condor Heroes' big trumpet move.
But he was cunning and insidious, pretending to admit defeat and launching a sneak attack.
When the situation was in a stalemate, the fourth level master finally appeared.
The protagonist played by Yang Ye, when he was a little boy, met an old beggar on the road one day and said that he was a martial arts wizard who was rare in a century.
He also said that after he opened up the Ren and Du channels, he would be able to soar into the sky, and then sold him a secret book of "Tathagata Palm" for ten yuan.
After practicing a few times, the young man naively thought that he had really mastered martial arts.
One day, he met a group of gangsters snatching a little girl's lollipop. He decided to use his magical powers to punish rape and eliminate evil and maintain world peace.
As a result, his Tathagata Palm was a fake and completely useless. Not only was he beaten, but also his head was peed on.
But in fact, he is really a rare martial arts wizard in a century. Every time he is injured, he recovers quickly, but he does not remember what happened.
He... doesn't know he is a master!
......
From the very beginning of the screening of "Kung Fu", the professionals and movie enthusiasts at the scene discovered that this movie pays tribute to various Chinese and foreign classic movies at all times.
The scene of the Ax Gang dancing together comes from the classic Hollywood musical "West Side Story" of the 1960s.
Then the camera came to the Pig Cage Walled City, and the appearance of the charter woman came from the classic movie "Seventy-two Tenants" in the 1960s.
When the fried ghost died, he said "with great power comes great responsibility", which comes from "Spider-Man".
Spider-Man was born in 1962 and has produced various versions of animated films over the past thirty years.
A few years ago, under the leadership of Yang Ye, Cameron and Tom Cruise were invited to create a live-action version of "Spider-Man", which was very popular.
So, this famous line has long been known to every household.
When the fried ghost died, he suddenly and inexplicably said something in English: "What are you prepared to do."
The charterer also complained: "Old ghost, you'd better speak Chinese!"
This sentence The words come from the Hollywood movie "The Untouchables" and are the last words Sean Connery said before his death in the movie.
The charter woman's action of waving her fist at Brother Chen comes from Bruce Lee's classic action movie "The Way of the Dragon."
The dark clouds over the Abnormal Human Research Center are from the Hollywood movie "Ghostbusters".
When the protagonist rescues the Fire Cloud Evil God, a large amount of blood suddenly spurts out from the end of the corridor, which comes from "The Shining", implying that if the Fire Cloud Evil God is released, blood will flow into a river.
Not to mention various elements from Jin Yong's novels and "The Palm of Tathagata", even the soundtrack when the Ax Gang called for reinforcements came from Tim Burton's version of "Batman".
As for the heroine in the movie, the innocent mute girl, she was inspired by the blind girl in Chaplin's masterpiece "City Lights".
......
When the protagonist grew up to be a young man, he became a bad boy who was idle, cheating and abducting.
One day, he met a mute woman selling ice cream on the street, and he recognized her instantly.
At that moment, he felt panicked in his heart.
He didn't want the mute girl to see that the hero in her mind had turned into a scoundrel.
“What are you looking at? I’ve never seen anyone eat without paying for something!”
He took the ice cream and ran away, seemingly eating a meal, but in fact, he was really... …escape.
He believes that being a good person will not end well. He wants to join the underworld, but he is always bullied because he is not ruthless enough.
He knew what his problem was, and he decided to cut off the cause and effect himself.
"Robbery, where is the money?"
He took out the knife, grabbed the mute woman's collar, and roared with anger: "Where is it? Tell me! What are you looking at? Do you look down on me?"
He pushed the mute girl to the ground, grabbed her, and threatened her with a knife: "I kill people without blinking an eye, so tell me!"
He opened the cabinet, threw a box on the ground, robbed a handful of coins and a few bottles of soda, and prepared to run away.
The mute girl picked up the box and said to him in sign language: "Have you forgotten? You saved me!"
The mute girl opened the box and found a lollipop lying inside. .
His memories instantly came back: "Let that girl go..."
The mute girl handed him the lollipop with a smile. He was so embarrassed that he collapsed.
He knocked the lollipop away and ran away again!
......
He doesn't like himself now. Deep in his heart, he has always been a young man full of justice.
When the beggar told him that he would be entrusted with the task of punishing rape and eradicating evil and maintaining world peace, he naively agreed.
Speaking of it, the plot of "Kung Fu" is a bit similar to "The Promise". The origin of the story is a deception in childhood, but "Kung Fu" is much more sophisticated.
The protagonist of "The Promise" is "You ruined my chance to be a good person". From then on, he began to do evil crazily and crazily seek revenge on the world.
As for the protagonist of "Kung Fu", no matter what bad things he does, his conscience will always prevail at the last moment.
Because he will always remember that when he was deceived, humiliated, and ashamed, there was a little girl who treated him tenderly.
Finally, he decided to repay the world gently.
At the last moment, he defended the Condor Heroes, but was brutally beaten to death by the Fire Cloud Evil God.
Fortunately, he possesses the "Tathagata Divine Palm" and has super recovery ability. Fire Cloud Evil God not only did not beat him to death, but also accidentally opened up his Rendu and Dumai vessels, allowing him to break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly. Soaring into the sky.
At this point, all the foreshadowings laid at the beginning of the movie have been taken back, and the final showdown with the Fire Cloud Evil God has officially begun.
Because Yang Ye's version of "Kung Fu" was filmed earlier, some of the tributes in the film became original.
For example, the phrase "It's raining, go home and collect your clothes" said by the charter woman is obviously a replica of "Westward Journey".
But because "Westward Journey" has not been released yet, this has become an ordinary line.
The biggest homage is the final battle of the movie, which is obviously imitated from "The Matrix".
Where is the dividing line between tribute and plagiarism?
If you like someone, then his so-called plagiarism is a sincere tribute.
If you don’t like a person, then his so-called tribute is shameless plagiarism.
For example, Guo Jingming’s novels are very similar to Japanese light novels, which is shameless plagiarism.
Jin Yong's novels often copy various plots of Alexandre Dumas, which is a tribute to the master.
The problem with "Kung Fu" is that there are too many tributes, which of course star fans think is great.
Hollywood fans at the time criticized plagiarism because the final fight was so similar to "The Matrix".
So when "Kung Fu" first came out, its reputation was not very good. The media headline at the time was:
"Kung Fu" won the box office, but lost its reputation!
"A World Without Thieves" earns tears, while "Kung Fu" earns only money!
......
Yang Ye made "Kung Fu" and "The Matrix" hadn't even been released yet, so naturally this problem didn't exist.
The audience at the scene was shocked by this creative fighting scene
When Fire Cloud Evil God used the Toad Kung Fu to lift Yang Ye into the sky, he really soared into the sky .
Above the clouds, the solemn and majestic treasure of Buddha appeared.
He used a palm move that fell from the sky, and his whole body turned into a ball of flames, like a meteor, falling rapidly from the sky.
All the clothes on his body were burned by the flames, and even his hair was burned clean.
The huge impact caused a huge palm print to be blasted out of the ground.
Fire Cloud Evil God could not withstand this terrifying palm force and shouted: "Surrender!"
Yang Ye turned over, showed mercy, and fell aside.
At this time, the camera gave him a close-up. His hair was gone and he turned into a monk, with his hands clasped together and his appearance solemn.
Chow Sing-Chi's original version is a tribute to Bruce Lee. The look of Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon" is used here.
Yang Ye's achievements have already surpassed Bruce Lee's. He paid tribute to his first movie "Shaolin Temple" eighteen years ago!
In an instant, many audience members dreamed back to their youth, bursting into tears and filled with emotion! (End of chapter)
