The master drove a small boat calmly to the bottom of the big war ship that was a hundred times bigger than him. The small boat seemed to be unable to withstand even a wave of the big ship.
But the master was very calm, and he said coldly: "If you want to pick it up, just continue." ”
Then, he smiled indifferently, inserted the bamboo pole used for punting the boat under the big boat, and with a little effort - you think the bamboo pole will break? Will the boat overturn?
Of course not.
Only to see that the big boat was smoothly and steadily picked out of the water by him, and pressed towards Xu Fengnian's boat next to it.
- Doesn't this show that it doesn't give physics face? Isn't that a serious violation of the laws of nature?
However, no one here complained, because everyone knew that it was a master, and because everyone had already vomited about the action scenes of "Snow Knife Line".
First, the first episode of the disaster.
At the end of 2019, "Qing Yu Nian" became popular on the Internet.
How hot is it? Some netizens compared it with "Yanxi Raiders", and the result was that both the click rate of Douyin and the number of Weibo readers and various indexes beat the latter.
The average effective number of views per episode reached 178 million, which once led to the collapse of the video playback platform.
Since then, screenwriter Wang Tian and lead actor Zhang Ruoyun have become the golden signboard. "Celebrating the Rest of the Year 2" has always been expected and never forgotten.
"Knife Line in the Snow" is another drama created by this ace group, and Hu Jun, Li Gengxi, Zhang Tianai and others have joined. This drama will naturally become the most anticipated martial arts drama at the end of this year.
However, the first episode of the opening chapter almost disappointed the expectations of many people, and the most slot point was the green filter and the two action scenes.
The action scene comes from the "white fox face" played by Zhang Tianai, a chivalrous woman with a cool posture, a high personality, and a spotless look.
She fought against a group of pursuers, first in slow motion to show the details, then the results of the special effects.
Finally, a handsome pose to the end.
The visual effect is refreshing, but it makes many people feel that it is "cutting corners": there is no martial arts action design, no fist to flesh realism, and there is no fighting atmosphere that makes people sweat.
Some netizens questioned whether the film side did not have money to ask for martial arts guidance. Even some state media have commented that they lack some "real skills."
Second, the director said that it was deliberate.
Nowadays, the Douban score of this drama is only 6.0, and I don't know how many people who score it are out of dissatisfaction with the action scene. If so, it would be a bit too wronged.
First of all, you can't take the standards of martial arts dramas to ask for fantasy dramas.
Small bamboo poles provoke galleons, is this still a man's business? There is also the Tiger Hammer, a monster that only exists in the show. And the mysterious creature that has not yet appeared to defeat the Tiger Hammer.
There is even a real dragon in the original novel.
All kinds of plots show that this is not an ordinary martial arts drama, but a partial fantasy drama. Your requirement that there must be real action scenes in the fantasy drama is tantamount to asking for a love scene to be added to "Journey to the West", which is inevitably a bit unusual.
Because this in itself is not the focus of the fantasy drama.
The fantasy drama is about the effect and beauty and imagination, just like the scene where Li Chungang turns rain into a sword to kill the ambush general Red Armor.
Including the two fights of the white fox face in the first episode, clean and neat.
Director Song Xiaofei said his purpose when talking about the design of action scenes: to be more free-spirited and make the white fox face look more ethereal.
This is in line with her master's temperament.
Secondly, there are many masters in this play, and it is necessary to highlight the difference.
The masters were divided into four realms: the Vajra Realm, the Zhixuan Realm, the Celestial Realm, and the Terrestrial Immortals. You can't portray everyone's boxing moves, so how do you distinguish the level of the masters?
It depends on the aura and action special effects shown by the actors.
The White Fox Face was a master of the King Kong Realm from the beginning, and could even reach the level of the Land Immortal in the future. It would be too annoying for her to fight a bunch of creeps one by one to get a stinky sweat.
There are also real knives and real guns behind the fight, but that is just the performance method of ordinary masters.
Third, the further back you go, the less the action scenes become.
At the beginning of the episode, it may be understandable to complain about the fight.
On the one hand, it is because everyone's expectations are too high, and on the other hand, it is also because the characters who appear at the beginning of the series are too concentrated, so that the main line is not obvious.
The characters who appeared in the first few episodes are not only concentrated, but each person also has multiple identities.
For example, "Lao Huang" is actually the famous sword Jiu Huang, "Human Slaughter" Xu Xiao is actually a "child slave" but has the power to plot people, Ya Gui Jiang Ni is also a princess, and Qingbird and other people are also hidden masters.
There are also Ning Emei, Chen Zhibao and other generals who also have their own purposes.
Even the protagonist Xu Fengnian is also mingli and shrewd.
All of these, including the relationship between the characters, are concentrated in the first few episodes, which are too large to appear a little complicated, and it is easy for the audience to confuse the identity and mission of the protagonist, and it is a bit of a feeling of not being able to find the theme.
This may be the root cause of dissatisfaction, but it is only reflected through the picky action scenes.
However, with the completion of the character relationship explanation and the deepening of the plot, the back is more and more clear.
Xu Fengnian led a group of masters to slay the demon all the way to the plot of the audience began to have a cool point, and how he will become a master and how to smoothly take over the North Starling also attracts more people to chase the drama every day.
At the end of the day, the most appealing thing is the plot.
So now the action scenes are not only no longer a problem, but the fighting effects of masters such as Li Chungang are different every time, but some people expect what kind of kung fu special effects they will show in their next shot.
Including Wang Xianzhi, the first master of Emperor Wu City, what realm his skill could be high was also curious.
Naturally, it will not be a martial arts move such as "black tiger digging heart" and "monkey stealing peach", right?
I don't know if the people who once complained about the action scenes now regret it?
A low score doesn't mean anything, but the viewership data is the most telling.
According to the Maoyan TV series popularity list, the daily playback of "Knife Row in the Snow" exceeded 180 million, ranking first in the popularity list. Basically, it can already be compared with "Celebrating the Rest of the Year".
Looking at it now, this drama actually deserves the word "heart", whether it is character portrayal, story development, or special effects, including action scenes.
Now you don't have to worry about "Qing Yu Nian 2".
