The genre of Chinese-language films that is most popular with global audiences and the most successful to go international is none other than action movies.
The most well-known and accomplished Chinese actors in the world are none other than action stars, represented by kung fu superstars such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
But as Jackie Chan gets old, Jet Li is gone, and Wu Jing and Donnie Yen, the only two who support Chinese kung fu films, have not had decent kung fu movies for several years after they finished "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Ip Man 4", after all, the two are also Ben.
Five, the people who ran six.
It is an indisputable fact that Chinese kung fu movies have declined and fallen into a trough, taking this year's Spring Festival file as an example, none of the 9 movies that have been officially announced are action movies, but the comedy theme is very popular.
But kung fu films should not be buried, and the innovative Mango Channel has launched the variety show "Who Comes", in the 21-day intensive training camp, to discover and cultivate a new generation of kung fu actors, there are 3 mentors, including kung fu tutor Zhao Wenzhuo, physical fitness tutor Zhang Weili, and literary and opera instructor Hao Lei, 14 action freshmen will pass layers of assessment and compete for the honor of best action newcomer.
However, compared with the strong lineup of tutors, the freshman students are uneven, some learn dance, some act in comedy, some are hosts, and there are very few who really practice martial arts, which makes people wonder if this show is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep?
But with the broadcast of the program, it was found that Mango Channel was serious, and the program set up a total of 4 rounds of casting interviews, and the students who advanced in each round will get the opportunity to shoot classic action film and television shorts, and the students who fail will face the risk of elimination.
The students have done their best to get the opportunity to perform, especially the martial arts part, which is a great challenge for most of the freshmen who lack martial arts skills, and many people have been more or less injured during the trial or filming, and 2 of them are more or less injured, but they are all injured in battle, reflecting the spirit of a martial artist who never gives up.
Zhang Sifan: Knee injury
Zhang Sifan used to be popular and starred in the male lead in several dramas, but now no one cares, and there are few opportunities to even play a supporting role.
So he participated in this show, hoping to be seen by more people, and his performance in the show was also remarkable.
Zhang Sifan's only martial arts experience is that he once followed the crew to shoot martial arts for 100 days.
In order to get more opportunities to perform, Zhang Sifan worked very hard when practicing martial arts movements, especially when he practiced the sparring with Song Muzi, he flew up, his body was parallel to the ground, and Song Muzi was kicked away with his feet, and his movements were very chic.
But when he landed, the back of his head was smashed hard, and it was scary to look at, he staggered a few steps after standing up, his head was a little dizzy, and his face was blue, even Zhao Wenzhuo expressed his appreciation for his courage and momentum, but he still needs to strengthen his acting experience, and action actors must know how to protect themselves.
When Zhang Sifan was practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Ren Hao, a beautiful back fall crushed his knee, and after going to the hospital for examination, fortunately he only strained the ligament and did not fracture.
He participated in the team performance on crutches and completed the action of being hit on the head by a teapot, although it was a special teapot, but the scene of debris splashing was still very scary.
Less than 10 years after his debut, he faced the dilemma of having no drama to film, and if Zhang Sifan didn't fight, he would have no chance, this is the cruel reality.
Shen Mengchen: Lumbar vertebra fracture
The most impressive student is Shen Mengchen, the host of "not doing business".
Shen Mengchen's well-known label to the audience is one of the "Four Little Flowers" of Mango Channel, and after Xie Na and Wu Xin were "abandoned", she can be called the most well-known female host of Mango Channel.
But Shen Mengchen did not learn broadcasting and hosting, acting is her specialty, she has participated in more than 10 film and television works, but none of them are as bright as her as a host.
I thought that Shen Mengchen came to this show to play soy sauce, but I didn't expect it to be the "big dark horse" of the show.
She said that her goal was to make a martial arts work that she was very satisfied with, and she did her best for this, and she was highly recognized by her mentor.
In the first 3 short film shooting opportunities, Shen Mengchen won 2 with her excellent performance, among which she played the role of Yan Tiexin, a female chivalrous guest with strong martial arts in "Drunken Fist 2023", whether it is costume modeling or martial arts action, it is eye-catching.
In the final assessment, when she was fighting with Bai Na Su, who had martial arts skills, she made a back fall, but was injured by Mai in her waist, she endured the pain and wanted to complete the final action, but her waist was not strong.
The medical staff made an emergency to her on the spot**, Bai Nari Su suggested that the martial arts drama should be changed to a literary drama, but Shen Mengchen insisted on completing the martial arts performance with an injury, especially when she was hugged and fell hard, and her injured waist was even worse, Hao Lei couldn't bear to look at it directly.
After completing this performance, Shen Mengchen, who was in unbearable pain, went to the hospital for examination, and the situation was more serious than she expected, and was diagnosed with a fracture of the left transverse process of the fourth lumbar vertebra, and the bone could not be reset.
When leaving the hospital, Shen Mengchen cried, and the director asked her if she wanted to take out the difficult movements if she had the opportunity to do it again, and Shen Mengchen replied: "No, I don't want to, if I take it out, how ordinary it will be." ”
Shen Mengchen really worked too hard, being an actor was just her sideline at most, but she went all out, and this kind of professionalism is admirable.
watched "Who Comes", and it also made people understand more deeply why action movies are not favored? Because filming action movies is too tiring and hard, and more importantly, actors are prone to injury, which is difficult to control and avoid, and if it is serious, it will directly affect the filming of **, the filmmaker can't afford it, and the management is unwilling to invest, like the era when Jackie Chan shot kung fu movies regardless of the cost and at any cost is gone.
