Before its release, "Kung Fu King" was definitely a milestone work in the eyes of domestic audiences!

Let’s not talk about the movie story or something. The most important hot topic of this movie is that it fulfills the expectations of all Chinese people, and the peak showdown between two kung fu superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li!

In this time and space, Chen Hao himself is more, so the two of them are not considered the stars with the highest Chinese value, but Chen Hao is obviously not at the same level as them. After all, two of the seven major Hollywood companies belong to Chen Hao!Such a gap cannot be made up by hard work!

However, in the time and space before Chen Hao was reborn, Jet Li and Jackie Chan were definitely the two most well-known kung fu stars around the world. Others can compare themselves with each other, including Donnie Yen and Wu Jing behind!

Although Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior Series and "The Wandering Earth" both achieved billions of box offices, they have not gone abroad after all, so the gap between him and Jet Li and Jackie Chan still cannot be narrowed!

However, Jet Li and Jackie Chan, two world-renowned kung fu superstars, still did not bear the box office of "Kung Fu King", which shows how bad the original "Kung Fu King" is!

If both the West and the Chinese and Western countries can buy it, they can also play the character characteristics of Jet Li and Jackie Chan!

It's hard, almost impossible!

In fact, under different environments of Chinese and Western cultures, it is really difficult to make an oriental action film that can be sold abroad and recognized by China!

"Rush Hour" was not very good at home at the domestic box office!

Jet Li's series of Hollywood movies "The Deadly Romeo", "Dragon Kiss", "Danny Wolf Dog" and "The Wanted Warrant" have also had average domestic box office!

As the original version of "Kung Fu King" actually takes good care of domestic audiences. With a layer of "Journey to the West", the 17-year-old boy Jason obtained a mysterious golden cudgel in a pawn shop in Chinatown. He then traveled to ancient China and received training from two masters played by Jackie Chan and Jet Li, making Jason a Skywalker!

Then they joined forces to deal with the God of War in Yujiang and the white-haired witch, and greeted the legendary hero Sun Wukong in ancient Chinese mythology to punish evil!

Add Chinese Kung Fu elements to the American Dream theme!

At the production level, Hollywood joined Chinese culture and specially used "Journey to the West" as a polishing board to create this story, but in fact it was just a shallow magic, and the core of the movie was still the Western routine!

Kung Fu culture itself is China's pride!

Domestic audiences do not want to see such pride slandering in any work, or even being ridiculed by foreign directors, especially if they are played by Chinese actors!

Quentin Tarantino, the image of Bruce Lee in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", said it was a tribute, but in the eyes of most domestic viewers, it was an insult!

Chen Hao was unhappy when he watched "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" in the original time and space. How could Bruce Lee be defeated? He is also a casual stand-in!Although this stunt actor is played by Brad Pitt, it is impossible to beat Bruce Lee!

Although the plot of the movie cannot be said to defeat Bruce Lee, and it can only be said to be mutually defeated, but I still feel uncomfortable watching it?!

The young actresses in front of them were all very moved, including the newly arrived Ariel Lin and Liu Shishi. But to be honest, Chen Hao has not yet figured out how to adapt the movie "King Fu King"!

After the adaptation, the candidate who invited the heroine would obviously not be any actress present, including Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, even more so!But some things are like this. Even if you don’t think about them, there is no need to say them directly. This will hurt people so much!

"Kung Fu King", the name is really tempting just by listening to it. With Jet Li and Jackie Chan playing together, the association gives people is a top kung fu blockbuster, but after watching it, I found that the theme of this film has nothing to do with the name of the movie, it is a scam name.

The most failure of the movie "Kung Fu King" is the screenwriter. Journey to the West has a deep impression on everyone, so it is difficult to change Journey to the West. However, looking at Liu Zhenwei's movie "The Legend of the West" and "The Great Sage" by Liu Zhenwei, it feels satisfying.The plot of the King of Kung Fu can only be described as boredom.

Because the plot is simple, there are very few roles in this movie. At the beginning, the movie wanted to act tightly, but it turned out that the middle was very scattered and the middle wanted to act humor, but it looked boring because a few people except Jackie Chan could not act humor.For example, there is one of the scenes in which Jet Li peed on Jackie Chan, which seemed to make the audience look laughing, but there is really nothing funny behind it.I want to line up into a kung fu film, but I don’t have the brightness of Jet Li’s kung fu films, the funnyness of Jackie Chan’s kung fu films, and the fierceness of Hong Kong and Taiwan action films in recent years. I want to shoot as grand as "The Lord of the Rings", but the result is that it is only the spectacular scene, but it is not the same shape or spirit.This is a boring movie without a little style.

In short, this movie is not worthy of being called "Kung Fu King". It is neither kung fu nor magical, nor funny, nor has any sense of science fiction. It can only be said that the biggest failure of this movie is the screenwriter, which is too rough and superficial.It is a commercial blockbuster that deceives the audience's feelings.

Therefore, Chen Hao felt that he really wanted to adapt the original version of "Kung Fu King". First of all, there was no need to find Jackie Chan and Jet Li. He thought it would be enough to invite Jet Li one. In fact, for blockbusters, the so-called box office appeal of celebrities is not absolute!As for the domestic market, Jet Li alone is enough!

As for the domestic market, with MGM's promotional methods, as long as the publicity is in place, the box office in the early stage will not be bad, and the quality of the movie itself will be determined in the later stage!

However, in terms of plot adaptation, Chen Hao does not intend to deliberately cater to European and American audiences. Since it is an oriental magic blockbuster, it must have many oriental colors, but it is not completely breaking away from European and American elements. Chen Hao feels that starting from Chinatown in the United States and traveling to ancient China is still very good!However, it is still to be discussed whether to adopt it in the end!

As for the subsequent adaptation of the plot, it can be adapted into a mythical story that is very close to the East!The routes of the two kung fu superstars can still be retained, but they can be replaced by Jet Li and Donnie Yen!Let Donnie Yen play Sun Wukong, after all, Donnie Yen played Sun Wukong in another time and space!

Not to mention the others, Chen Hao thinks that at least he is better than Aaron Kwok’s Sun Wukong!

As for Jet Li's role as Sun Wukong in "Kung Fu King", it is quite shocking to be honest, especially in his appearance. People don't look like humans, and monkeys don't look like monkeys. In short, you can tell at a glance that this is Jet Li, not Sun Wukong!
