Recently, major films aiming at the Spring Festival in 2024 have started the warm-up mode, and while several high-reputation works in the New Year's Day file have raised the expectations of the film market, more audiences will focus on the more fiercely competitive Spring Festival files.
Among them, it includes the film "Legend" led by Jackie Chan and directed by Tang Jili, which gathered cutting-edge actors such as Zhang Yixing, Guli Nazha, Li Zhiting, Li Chen, and Peng Xiaoran , Zheng Yecheng and other cutting-edge actors.
The story structure of the film "Legend" is not complicated, mainly telling the story of the male protagonist "Professor Chen" on a jade pendant found by chance, connecting the recurring scenes in his dreams with real life.
In order to unravel the truth behind the incident, he led the archaeological team to the glacier where the jade pendant was found, and started another wonderful journey between the past and the present life in the accidentally discovered glacier temple.
In fact, seeing this, I believe that many viewers will unconsciously compare this "Legend" with Jackie Chan's other popular work "Myth".
In fact, this is exactly the case, the new work "Legend" brought by Jackie Chan this time is in a large sense to pay tribute to the smash hit "Myth" of the year.
Mythology" was released in 2005, a Sino-Korean co-production film, starring Jackie Chan, Kim Hee-sun, Leung Ka-fai, etc., which depicts a beautiful and moving love across history, time and space, and won 1The box office result of 600 million yuan can be regarded as a great success.
After a lapse of nearly 20 years, this time Jackie Chan once again used a similar theme to dig deeper into this theme for a second time, and the one who assisted him was still Tang Jili, who had created "Myth" together.
The 60-year-old director of Hong Kong, China, has a deep relationship with Jackie Chan, and during the period of great development and prosperity of Hong Kong films, Jackie Chan and Tang Jili's collaboration has created a large number of high-reputation works such as the "Police Story" series "Red Fan District" and "Zodiac".
This time, the two teamed up again to launch this "Legend", and many new faces were boldly used in the overall cast, although in terms of the overall lineup, the strength of the new actors was slightly inferior, but it also added more freshness and surprise to the film.
For example, Zhang Yixing, the newcomer representative in the film, can be regarded as a more eye-catching existence, this Hunan artist born in 91 can be described as good in both audio and video, and after moving to the big screen, his overall performance is remarkable.
From "Mr. Good", "Lao Jiumen", "Kung Fu Yoga", "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" to "A Good Show", "Sweeping the Black Storm", "All or Nothing", etc., while the audience lamented that Zhang Yixing's resources were good, they were also happy for his continuous growth and maturity.
In addition, new artists such as Guli Nazha, Peng Xiaoran, and Zheng Yecheng will also be seen in this "Legend", and these elements will more or less lay a solid foundation for the brilliance of the film.
It is reported that Kim Hee-sun will also make a cameo appearance in "Legend", once again completing the review and tribute to "Myth" that year, in short, I look forward to the early launch of "Legend", and I look forward to it replicating the success of "Myth" and bringing a new viewing experience to the audience.
