I want to find a movie.

Chinese title: samurai

Type: martial arts films

Director: Jinxing Xian

Film production: SIDUS

Starring: Ahn Sung ki Zheng Yucheng

Zhang Ziyi, Joo Jin Mo

[Introduction to the Story]

The production cost is 7 billion won, and it has been filmed all over Chinese mainland for five months ... The standards of Korean films are changing, and they are getting rid of the previous production practices of melodramas or action comedies, choosing historical genres that have never been tried before, using cutting-edge photography techniques and special effects beyond Hollywood, and the scale tends to be huge.

Including Samurai (directed by Jinxingxian/produced by Sidus), Black Narcissus, Drunken Fairy, Sleepwalking in the Peach Blossom Garden, Gyebaek, and The Bright Wind and Moon, which will premiere on the 8th of next month, are all such works.

Of course, the most famous movie is Samurai, which was released by superstars such as Ahn Sung ki, Zheng Yucheng, Joo Jin Mo and Zhang Ziyi. It is commensurate with the blockbuster with a production cost of 7 billion won, and has won the same evaluation as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which is the most anticipated masterpiece in the second half of this year. After five years of careful preliminary investigation, as well as the use of more advanced photography, art and special effects, the action design is more realistic, making the film enjoyable. In particular, the cavalry attack scene in the first five minutes of the film was rated as more than Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan, which was recognized by the Hollywood distribution company last month.

Samurai describes the story of nine Korean samurai who disappeared in China in the last years of Koryo. The story begins with the North Korean delegation sent to the Ming Dynasty in the alternate period of Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and unfolds with infinite imagination what happened after they entered the mainland.

The cavalry battle scene overwhelmed Hollywood, and superstars such as Ann Ji Cheng performed well.

Although there is no such thing in history, the unsung heroes reappeared on the screen are full of the momentum of Changhong and the samurai spirit of sacrificing oneself for others, which is of educational significance to modern people.

Samurai has gathered the best teams from China, Japan and South Korea, including Jin Xingxuan, the director of Beat and Dark Days, Zhang, a China producer who has taken over Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine and Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin, Ichiro, a composer who sold more than 3 million copies for the first time in Japanese film history, and the more widely accepted Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon art group.

Samurai is a new and challenging work, not only for the production line-up, but also for actors such as Ahn Sung ki, Joo Jin Mo and Zheng Yucheng. Besides crossing Chinese mainland in May, they also practiced martial arts, rode horses and learned Chinese, which made them real soldiers. Eager eyes and desperate shots have long been expected by the audience. (

BEIJING, March 17 (Xinhua) According to Taiwan Province's Dongsen News, the costume movie Samurai, which brings together actors from Chinese mainland and South Korea, will be released in Taiwan Province on April 2. Among them, Zhang Ziyi, who participated in the performance, mentioned the filming process and was most impressed. Working in the harsh environment in Northeast China made her cry with cold.

Besides Zhang Ziyi, the samurai recruited many Korean actors, including Jung Woo Sung, Ahn Sung ki and Joo Jin Mo. The film took five years from preparation to post-production, costing more than 7 billion won, and was shot in thousands of countries including China, Japan and South Korea.

Km, as well as the use of more than 300 Chinese and Korean staff, not only set the highest investment record in the history of Korean movies, but also broke the record of simultaneous release of 202 cinemas in Korea.

"Samurai" describes the adventures and troubles of a group of Korean samurai in China during the Yuan and Ming dynasties. In this Korean film, Zhang Ziyi plays the role of Princess Furong in the Ming Dynasty. Some people question that Princess Furong is very similar to the Jade Dragon in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, except that she doesn't know martial arts. Zhang Ziyi said, "Actually, it's different. Yulong's character has not changed, and he has always been rebellious, constantly escaping and releasing. However, after Princess Furong left the palace, she met people and things outside, and her personality changed a lot, so I regarded Furong as a fairy tale adventure. "

Although there is Zhang Ziyi in front, in fact, in the film, there are not many scenes of her, and the main role is still on the samurai. In this regard, Zhang Ziyi said: "No way, in fact, every character in the film is very distinctive. As far as my personality is concerned, even if I come out alone, it will be a good-looking movie. It's a pity that my space is too small. I often feel unsatisfied after filming! "

From the film, we can also see the hardships of shooting, the scenes are almost dry and hot deserts, and the sea breeze can also see the powerful power. The hardest part is shooting the final battle scene in Liaoning New Town. According to Zhang Ziyi, "It was the end of June+February in 5438, and the weather in the northeast was extremely cold. The crew was in poor condition and without heating equipment, I cried. "

Later, the crew bought an iron drum in the local area, pierced holes around it and burned wood in it to keep warm, but it was enough to order a few at a time. Actors and staff were surrounded by it, sometimes fell asleep, and their down jackets were burnt, which almost caused a fire. Zhang Ziyi said that such an experience is rare.

Sichuan News Network-Chengdu Evening News (Reporter Fan) He Ping's magnum opus Heroes of Heaven and Earth has been rising at the box office all the way during the National Day, but some viewers have questioned the film, thinking that although the overall momentum of the film is magnificent, the ending is too reluctant, and finally there is a scene in which a warrior bravely defends an isolated city, and both the plot and the structure are suspected of copying or imitating the samurai co-produced by China and South Korea in 2000.

This problem has never been solved, but as early as last month, it was claimed that Jiang Wen copied his TV series Hero.

Zhou Chen, the author of The Flower Hero, who conceived the script and is about to take it to court for infringement, revealed another story to the media yesterday: The reason why The Flower Hero and The Samurai have many similarities is that many of their plots are from his Flower Hero! Because the actors Jiang Wen and Yu Rongguang, who participated in these two films respectively, have seen his plays, they stole his things, so it is not surprising that the two films are similar. However, Yu Rongguang denied this statement yesterday.

Zhou Chen: Yu Rongguang "steals" to "be like a flower"

Yesterday, Zhou Chen told reporters that as early as 1999, he gave Yu Rongguang the script outline of the TV series "Heroes Like Flowers" in Kunming. After watching it, Yu Rongguang said that if the film cost was 6.5438+0.6 million, the two sides failed to reach an agreement and the cooperation had to be abandoned, but Yu Rongguang took away the script outline of the play at that time and said that it could be tried in Hong Kong. As a result, after the release of the 200 1 Yu Rongguang Chinese-Korean co-production Samurai, Zhou Chen discovered that the story of Samurai was exactly the same as his own script: "The story inside revolves around three forces, fighting for the protection of the princess, and even the plot setting of a slave eventually becoming a hero to save the princess is exactly the same, but the background of the times has changed. The similar reason must be that Yu Rongguang provided my ideas in "Heroes Like Flowers" to the director at that time and changed the direction of the story. " It seems that Zhou Chen insisted that Yu Rongguang "stole" his "flowers".

Yu Rongguang: I don't remember Zhou Chen.

After interviewing Zhou Chen, the reporter dialed Yu Rongguang's mobile phone. Yu Rongguang, who was filming on the set, felt very annoyed after hearing about it: "I don't remember Zhou Chen at all!" Yu Rongguang also explained that his habit is to let his assistant read the script first, and then recommend it to himself if he thinks it is valuable. Yu Rongguang said that although he participated in the filming of Samurai, he didn't give any advice to the Korean director about the story. As far as he knows, when Samurai was co-produced with Beijing Film Factory, a group of Beijing playwrights were invited to revise the script, but all this had nothing to do with him.

March has just arrived, and it will arrive on March 8. The martial arts blockbuster Samurai, produced by movie stars from China, Japan and South Korea, will premiere in Shenyang tomorrow. The movie Hero has swept the country, followed by Samurai. Some people say that the samurai came with the afterglow of the hero, which is suspected of taking advantage of the situation. I don't know, "Samurai" is to avoid the edge of the previous "Hero" and has avoided the coveted New Year's Eve file. There are indeed many similarities between the two films, which can be called "buddies".

Look at the plot like twins.

Both films also describe the martial arts spirit of starting from the overall situation and sacrificing oneself for others, both of which ended in tragedy; The difference is that Hero happened at the end of the Warring States Period, mainly about the assassination of Qin, while Samurai described the story of nine Korean Samurai who disappeared in China in the last years of Korea based on the historical facts of Korean Samurai returning from China. Based on the clue that the North Korean delegation was sent to the Ming Dynasty at the turn of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Princess Furong (Zhang Ziyi) was hijacked by the Yuan Army, rescued by the Korean samurai Lv Shuai (Zheng Yucheng) and the general (Joo Jin Mo), and finally the princess was sent to safety, interspersed with the emotional entanglements between the two warriors and Princess Furong.

Zhang Ziyi left and right fighting

Hero invested 30 million dollars in the production and prepared for three years. The samurai is naturally unparalleled, but it is also emboldened. The famous Korean director spent 7 billion won to shoot across Chinese mainland, which took five years to complete. Actors can also call themselves the "diamond" lineup. Of course, the most prominent ones are Ahn Sung ki, Zheng Yucheng, Joo Jin Mo and Zhang Ziyi, and the top three are Korean movie stars. This is the first cooperation, let alone Zhang Ziyi. In "Samurai", her acting skills are superb, which is even better than Yueru's performance in "Hero".

Scenery films are the mainstay.

No matter what people say about Zhang Yimou, there is no doubt that it is a picture of a hero. A great director is a photographer. Heroes tell stories in color, which is more beautiful and ethereal. Samurai is a striking realistic style. In terms of action style, Hero pursues elegant artistic conception, while Samurai reproduces the cruelty of war with wide-ranging actions and rich iron and blood collisions. The audience can see the tragedy and have more visual impact, so it has attracted much attention. Our reporter Guo

Length: 154 minutes

Type: Wushu

Rating: ★★★★

Actually, maybe I'm not qualified to comment on Samurai, because I didn't watch the beginning and end of the movie. I saw the cut version of the movie theater (154 minutes), while the original film was 236 minutes long-creating a box office record in the history of Korean movies. It seems that the Korean audience is really different from us. Their movies are always too long. Although it was cut for an hour and a half, the film is still lengthy, the plot develops slowly, some key drama conflicts are handled flatly, and the atmosphere of the whole film is also heavy and depressing. No wonder this film was reviled by domestic audiences. But I think this film is suitable for enjoying slowly when the mood is calm and calm!

This Korean blockbuster is really compared with our hero. It is a costume martial arts film with the largest investment (7 billion won) in Korean film history. Its theme focuses on expressing the "samurai" spirit of Koreans, which has both the meaning of home and country and the tenderness of blood. Without the bad story and dialogue of Hero as a contrast, the story of Samurai is hard to read and full of loopholes. However, after reading Hero, I feel that Samurai is much better, just like swallowing chaff and chewing corn.

Imitation: too deliberate

If Hero wins by special effects, Samurai is quite unique in depicting and controlling war scenes. In fact, I prefer to watch this film with the Seven Samurai of Kurosawa, because there are many traces of deliberate imitation in it, which are very similar to the Seven Samurai in plot, character temperament and battle scene.

The Seven Samurai describes the Japanese samurai. In the war-torn era, the seven samurai were entrusted to protect the small villages in the mountains and fight to the death with the invading mountain thieves. Being outnumbered, they accomplished their mission, but at the cost of their lives. Samurai moved the story to China. It was also an era of war. In order to accomplish their mission, return to their homeland and protect the princess of the Ming Dynasty, North Korean generals and warriors fought against the Yuan Army with great disparity. The "Battle of Tucheng" in Samurai is almost a copy of the village defense war in Samurai. A dilapidated and lonely seaside tucheng is surrounded by a large number of Yuan soldiers and cavalry. In addition to the few remaining Korean warriors, there are a group of fleeing Ming women and children-these people did not need to appear in the play. I don't see the need if they didn't imitate the samurai on purpose.

Samurai: The more you watch it, the cooler it becomes.

Although the Korean samurai deliberately portrayed in the film is suspected of being "cool", it is understandable for martial arts films, because martial arts films aim to maximize a certain aspect of the character's personality, create a unique and distinctive image, and satisfy our fantasy of "heroes". The cooler, the more handsome and the better looking, whether it is reasonable or not is the second. I like the image of Xue Yan played by Zheng Yucheng very much. He is loyal, forbearing, brave, superb in martial arts and extraordinary in skill. It may be because of him that Korean talents are scrambling to buy tickets. It is also a success that a movie can have a successful and impressive role! What's more, several Han Xing's acting skills in the film have their own characteristics, and the performance of Ahn Sung ki, an old actor with few appearances, is also convincing. On the other hand, the two China actors in the film, Yu Rongguang and Zhang Ziyi, are dwarfed, especially Zhang Ziyi, whose performance continues the routine of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Even with the same expression and language, there is no breakthrough at all. All the way to Hero, it feels like she started making movies from my parents, keeping a straight face and moping all the time. Zhang Ziyi became famous too quickly, but he didn't get a chance to really improve his acting skills.

There is something commendable about the design of fighting in this film. The fighting scenes in the film are rich, including fierce military fighting, one-on-one fighting, one-on-one fighting, and wits fighting ... The editing is beautiful and the fighting process is clean and neat. It makes people upset instantly, and their heads fall to the ground, which makes people very happy. Although there are fewer complicated martial arts exhibitions, now that special effects are so developed, who has the patience to look at those fancy techniques? side track
