My Online Dating Partner Is a Celebrity - Vol 18 Chapter 350
“Crouchingtiger, hiddendragon. What does this name mean?”
In the screening room, the opening of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” has already begun. Randy looked at the huge English title of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and said that he was puzzled.
“I don’t know it very well either. I listened to people on the Internet explaining that it might mean that in this world, there are many strong people hiding in the dark.” Tom gave a vague explanation.
“Why should the strong hide? Those who have the ability should help others, right?” Randy asked.
“I don’t know.” Tom shook his head and said, “Perhaps Huaxia people think that hiding the strong will make a better life.”
“Huaxia people always like to deliberately create some wonderful mystery.” Randy said with a curled mouth.
As the two talked, the movie has officially started.
Amidst the sound of a melodious flute, landscapes and rivers, like a picture scroll, a dart board named Xiongyuan appeared in the picture.
“It’s beautiful, but what does **** mean?” Randy wanted to ask Tom, but he turned his head and found that Tom had begun to look seriously.
Randy blinked, then closed his mouth and continued to look.
The beginning of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is relatively plain, that is, Li Mubai came to the Xiongyuan Escort, discussed with Yu Xiulian about leaving the customs early, and wanted to solve some unresolved issues, and entrusted Yu Xiulian to give the Qingming sword to Belle in the capital. .
“This title is a bit boring. What does it mean to enter concentration? Is it a form of cultivation?” Randy watched, and various thoughts flashed in his mind.
He is almost completely ignorant of Chinese culture, especially Chinese martial arts culture. It is difficult for him to understand “ruding” which does not exist in American culture, and it is even harder to understand why a sword that looks no different will appear especially important.
He just feels bored.
But the boredom at the beginning was not enough to make him have the urge to leave the field angrily.
He continued to watch.
“The ancient times of China are completely different from ours-we don’t seem to have ancient times. These houses seem to have a unique sense of beauty.”
Yu Xiulian has come to the capital, Randy looks at the dazzling array of Chinese architecture, but loves this kind of house that is completely different from the American style. There are various stone carvings of monsters on the houses, the eaves are low and long, and the layers of light gray tiles are layered, and there is an elegant charm in them.
“Oh, this Chinese actor is so beautiful.”
The plot continued to develop, and Randy was amazed when Yu Jiaolong played by Lin Xinyao appeared.
In the original version of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, perhaps it was for realism, perhaps it was for retro, or it was simply lack of technology. The makeup of the characters was relatively old-fashioned, even Zhang Ziyi, who was less than twenty years old at the time, looked very good. mature.
The “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” filmed by Ren Qing does not use filters that look unrealistic, but the excellent makeup techniques also make the actors look younger and smarter. Especially Lin Xinyao, who is already young, looks unbelievably beautiful under the camera.
In the eyes of these Americans with different aesthetics, it is enough to be amazing.
“Such a beautiful woman, must be the protagonist?” Randy thought.
In the next plot, as he thought, Lin Xinyao played a lot of Yujiaolong roles. Then, when the story reached fifteen minutes, the first climax came.
The hurried snare drum suddenly sounded, and Randy was unconsciously attracted by the drum and kept his eyes on.
Under the cover of the night, a man in black passed by the roof, like a wind, without a trace.
Both feet landed, and the man in black came to the front of the house. She stepped on the edge of the door with her feet, grabbed the window frame with both hands, and pushed up, and her body immediately flew into the air. The wooden window above. With dexterity like a cat, a few flashing rooms entered the room and took the Qing Ming sword placed in the room.
“Oh… this kind of action… beautiful.”
Just this short paragraph, Randy, who has never seen a Chinese movie or a Chinese martial arts movie, was shocked.
Randy has watched a lot of special effects movies about flying in the sky. What Hollywood is best at is the kind of special effects movies that transcend common sense. However, he has never seen an action like “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” that is detached from the common sense of physics, yet follows the laws of physics in a symbolic sense.
What is the action in Hollywood? Take this set of entering the house as an example. If it is a Hollywood blockbuster, it must jump directly into the house, even if the window is relatively high, at most, add a wall-climbing action. It is impossible for the director to design an upside-down golden hook to open a wooden window.
This action is redundant to a certain extent, but it is such an action, which is the difference between Chinese movies and Hollywood movies.
This action adds an incredible and unique beauty to Chinese movies. This kind of beauty is not available in Hollywood action movies. One move, one turn, one move, all make people feel pleasing to the eye, rather than pure visual impact.
However, before Randy’s emotions were over, the drum beat suddenly accelerated. The night guard found the flying thief. He tried to stop the thief with his weird short and long sticks, but was easily resolved by the dexterous thief. His clumsiness became a joke, and the stick did not hit him. When he reached the thief, he hit himself on the head instead.
A few simple tricks made a lot of laughter in the cinema. Amidst the roar of laughter, the man in black volleyed up into the sky and flew to the roof of the nursing home, which could not “fly”, so he could only shout “come, catch the thief”.
Such a shout seemed stupid, but the effect was real. Yu Xiulian, who had escorted the sword, heard the movement and immediately walked out of the room.
Yu Xiulian’s skill is not comparable to a simple nursing home.
So next, Randy saw one of the essence of Chinese martial arts-one of the best interpretation scenes of light work in movie history.
“The sword has returned to the original owner, and it’s still easy to say now!”
The man in black was running away on the roof, and suddenly Yu Xiulian flashed out from the side and stopped her. The black-clothed man was silent, and suddenly made a move to repel Yu Xiulian and flew away. Yu Xiulian rushed to chase, and the two of them chased and fled, and began to perform the best light work on the roof.
The drums continued to be beaten, one after another, and the more rapid the movements of the two became faster. The man in black has a lot of tricks, turning around and moving, and there is lightness everywhere; Yu Xiulian is simple and simple, although not awkward, she has fallen in front of the man in black and can only try to catch up.
With countless roofs and countless courtyard walls, the two of them simply regarded everything as nothing, and they were stunned.
Seeing that her effort could not catch up with the man in black, Yu Xiulian immediately changed her strategy. She took a short cut to catch up with the man in black and fought close to him. In terms of light work, people in black have the upper hand, but when they really fight, they can’t keep up with Yu Xiulian.
Yu Xiulian spotted this, hitting the man in black on the elbow with a rock to make him lose his balance, and then spotting the figure of the man in black, pulling down the man in black trying to take off again and again with her hands.
This period of martial arts fights you and me, and always revolves around the sword of Qingming. Finally, the man in black was defeated and was caught by Yu Xiulian.
Seeing that Yu Xiulian could wound her with a palm, suddenly there was a wind in the distance, but a dart blocked Yu Xiulian’s moves. The man in black took this opportunity and flew upside down for a dozen meters, his body was erected in the air against common sense of physics, and the whole person fell to the middle of the city wall.
As soon as he touched the city wall, the man in black stepped on his feet, his body rose suddenly, and disappeared on the towering city wall in the blink of an eye.
At this point, the drums stopped, and the minutes-long chase ended.
Randy was dumbfounded.
He touched his arm, only to feel that little lumps that were difficult to eliminate were floating on it…
