It is rumored that Xu Haofeng, the director of "Master", is a deeply hidden martial arts master.
Rumor 1: Li Zhongxuan, the inheritor of the three major Italian boxing masters, has been practicing martial arts for many years and has been deeply impressed by his true heritage.
It is rumored that the second is that you can jump down from a five-story building and roll up two times on the ground, unscathed.
Rumor three, there are many martial artists, after reading his book "The Passing Martial Forest", they rush to compete with it.
Although Xu Haofeng himself has responded negatively to this, the jianghu still has its mysterious legends.
However, after watching "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master", regarding Xu Haofeng, I am sure:
Perhaps, the martial arts master is the saying that the wind catches the shadow, but the other kind of master is absolutely true.
Because, compared to the martial masters, Xu Haofeng did more:
Write your own novels, adapt your own adaptations, design your own action, direct yourself... A dragon makes a movie, the reputation of the production is still strong, you say high or not?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > alternative "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master" Xu Haofeng</h1>
Dragon Tiger Martial Artist is a general term for martial arts instructors, martial arts stand-ins, and action special effects actors in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and "Dragon Tiger Martial Artist" is a film that records the rise and fall of this group.
The film gathers Hong Jinbao, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, Yuan Hua, Zhen Zidan, Qian Jiale and other strongest "martial artists" in Chinese films.
In fact, compared with the above "martial masters", Xu Haofeng was not inferior.
Although the fame is not enough, but in terms of the efficiency of the award, it is only worse.
In 2011, he served as the martial arts instructor of "The Trail of Wokou".
In 2012, he served as the martial arts instructor of "Arrow Warrior Liu Bai Ape" and was nominated for the Best Action Design Award at the 49th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
In 2015, he still served as the martial arts instructor of "Master", and was nominated for the Best Motion Design Award at the 52 taiwan Golden Horse Awards and won the championship.
The subsequent "Hidden Behind the Knife" and "Poetry Eyes Tired of the End", although the fate is uncertain, has not yet been released, but according to Xu Haofeng's consistent style, self-appointed martial arts instructor, should not have to run.
However, only three films have been released, two nominations, one award, or a gold award, which is not inefficient.
At the same time, it can be seen that Xu Haofeng, the "martial master", has many vices and how successful he is.
However, unlike the above martial artists, Xu Haofeng's action design is very different.
No stunts, no Wia, no stand-ins, no magical cornices, no mysterious heaven and earth, not even pleasing fighting routines,
Some are just hard bridges and hard horses, one move and one style of real grounding.
He is a "martial artist", but he is a different kind of "martial master".
Of course, he is not only a "martial artist".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > martial arts novelist Xu Haofeng</h1>
In 1994, Xu Haofeng was admitted to the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, and became a classmate of Jia Zhangke, who later became famous, and Xu Jinglei was also at the same level.
However, after graduating in 1997, Xu Haofeng did not have the same spirit as Jia Zhangke, acting and directing.
Instead, in the midst of chaos, it took five or six years to start the creation of martial arts novels.
In 2006, with the dictation of the second grandfather Li Zhongxuan, he created the documentary literary novel "The Passing Wulin", which created the precursor of the documentary martial arts novel.
In 2007, he created the martial arts novel "Taoist Descending the Mountain", which was praised as the successor of hardcore martial arts novels, and Xu Haofeng was also known as the first person in hardcore martial arts novels.
The novel, later, was made into a movie of the same name by Chen Kaige and sold 400 million at the box office.
In 2008, he published the martial arts novel "Guoshuguan", which was a bestseller.
In 2010, he created the novel "Great Sun Mandala", which is also a martial arts novel.
In 2013, he published the wuxia short story collection "Hidden Behind the Sword" and the wuxia novel "Samurai Society".
In 2014, the wuxia novel "Wuren Qinyin" was published...
In the time when martial arts novels are gradually declining, Xu Haofeng writes a new atmosphere of martial arts with a unique hard school charm.
Even, at one time, it caused the industry to discuss the works of famous artists such as Jin Yong, which surprised many people.
Maybe even the Beijing Film Academy did not expect that the professional who originally trained directors as the goal turned out to be a novelist, or mainly martial arts.
In fact, this is Xu Haofeng's curve to save the country.
His original intention in writing novels was to prepare the materials, sit and wait for the "gold lord" to come to the door, and then start his own path of directing.
As for why it is a martial arts novel, this is the result of being heard by the second grandfather Li Zhongxuan since childhood.
It turns out that opportunity is left to those who are prepared.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > script screenwriter Xu Haofeng</h1>
In 2011, 14 years after graduation, Xu Haofeng finally waited for the opportunity to direct: someone invested in the filming of the story of "The Lost Martial Forest".
His own works, of course, are the most familiar to him, and Xu Haofeng began his real screenwriting work.
Unexpectedly, the first time I got heavyweight affirmation.
In 2011, the film "The Trail of Wokou", based on "The Lost Martial Forest", was nominated for the Best Screenplay Adaptation Award at the 48th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
In the end, he did not win the award, but the shortlisting was already a great encouragement, so Xu Haofeng continued to work hard.
In 2012, "Arrow Soldier Liu Bai Ape", adapted from his novel of the same name, was nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the 49th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
In 2013, he participated in the screenwriting of Wong Kar-wai's "A Generation of Grandmasters", and the final film was shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award at the Asian Film Awards, and won the Best Screenplay Award at the 33rd Hong Kong Film Awards.
In 2014, he served as the screenwriter of the period drama "Dart Gate" directed by Han Xiaojun.
In 2015, he adapted his novel of the same name for Chen Kaige, "Taoist Descending the Mountain".
In the same year, with the screenplay of "Master", he was nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the 52nd Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and won the Best Screenplay Award of Chinese Film Media.
The subsequent "Hidden Behind the Knife" and "Poetry Eyes Tired of the End" were all written by Xu Haofeng himself.
It seems that the number of screenwriters is not much, but 5 times shortlisted, two awards, Xu Haofeng's screenwriting ability can be seen.
Of course, in the end, everything goes down to the ultimate goal of the director.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > martial arts director Xu Haofeng</h1>
After graduating for several years and not being able to apply what he had learned, Xu Haofeng was very depressed, and once bluntly said that if he could not be a director before the age of 37, he would give up forever.
However, fate played a bitter joke with him, and it was not until the age of 37 that Xu Haofeng waited for the opportunity to direct himself.
In 2011, Xu Haofeng wrote and directed "The Trail of Wukou", which is based on his novel, and designed the corresponding martial arts actions according to his martial arts world view, taking the first step of his own hardcore martial arts movies.
After the release of the film, although the box office was miserable, only 300,000, but the reputation was good, and it was also nominated for many awards, including the Golden Horse Awards.
However, for Xu Haofeng, what is more important is that he can finally create a different martial arts world.
Subsequently, also self-written and directed his own novel works, and also designed his own martial arts actions, Xu Haofeng created the movies "Arrow Soldier Liu Bai Ape" and "Master" respectively.
Among them, "Arrow Warrior Liu Bai Ape" has been nominated for many awards; and "Master" has won many awards such as the Golden Horse Award for Best Action Design, the Best Director Award in the Asian Brilliant Unit, and the Best Film at the Beijing University Student Film Festival.
However, after winning the word of mouth, but the box office still did not improve, Xu Haofeng's directorial career did not take a few steps, and it encountered bumps.
The subsequent "Knife Back Hides", which is also based on his own novel, self-written and directed and served as a martial arts instructor, has been hidden by the snow although it has been nominated for many awards.
The same encounter is also adapted from his novel of the same name, starring Chen Kun Zhou Xun Song Jia," "Poetic Eyes Weary Tianya".
Although five martial arts movies, three box office failures, two were hidden in the snow, Xu Haofeng proved his ability with word of mouth.
Not only that, writing martial arts novels, adapting his own scripts, and designing his own actions, Xu Haofeng shaped his own martial arts world in an all-round way.
In "Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist", the thrilling on-set action of the martial artist and the lamentable survival status quo are bloody and also tearful.
In comparison, Xu Haofeng did more and more completely, but the ending was just as lamentable.
However, one thing is clear: Xu Haofeng is definitely a master!
