"It's quite interesting. People and swords, people and knives interact with each other, and it's really like swords and sabers."

"Every martial arts move is very agile, cool and beautiful."

...

"Finally, it's no longer special effects + slow motion. This is a martial arts movie!"

"Yeah, those movies that claim to be 'next-generation martial arts' are all left-hand and right-hand slow motion. Is this martial arts? Is this a move? It made me laugh."

...

"This trailer is really exciting. I can't wait to watch it."

"Ding Ge's "Swordsman: Invincible in the East" doesn't need to be the second-best movie in the Spring Festival box office anymore. I said, no one can do it!"

...

When the trailer ended, there was a commotion in the theater.

However.

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway. In this theater, besides Ding Ge, Zhou Mulong is the one who knows the most.

He concluded from his years of directing experience that the design of martial arts action is the top priority of martial arts movies, because in addition to conveying the spiritual core of chivalry, martial arts movies also need to have aesthetic displays of martial arts action shapes and strength.

As for the first official trailer of "Swordsman: Invincible East" that he just watched, the martial arts design in it shocked him. It completely abandoned the stage-stylized martial arts action design in traditional martial arts movies, added aesthetic and romantic elements to realism, and the use of variable camera angles and fast editing made each action present a sense of rhythm in motion.

Zhou Mulong couldn't help but look at Jiang Ge. He was worthy of being the person he liked the first time he met him. He liked this future son-in-law a little more.

Jiang Yong knew a little about martial arts movies. Although he didn't see the doorway clearly, he compared it with the martial arts movies he had invested in before. It was simply a world of difference. His son was so powerful that it was really more outrageous than dreaming.

Compared with them, Wu Xiuyun and Jiang Ling were not very interested in this.

At this time,

The scene changed and the main film began.

At first, we heard the roar of the engine, and then saw several sports cars chasing a transport plane in the dark.

The scene was very exciting, with cars blocking each other, shooting, and fighting.

In the end, the plane exploded.

A group of people who had just escaped death stopped the car and stood in the distance, looking at the plane that turned into a sea of ​​fire, as if waiting and looking forward to something.

Suddenly, a car flew out of the sea of ​​fire, and the blazing flames turned into a line of words, which was the title of the film "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift".

This beginning made the audience a little confused, but it was explained immediately.

[It turned out that Brian and his gang, who loved street racing, helped the police eliminate the leader of the criminal gang, Owen Shaw, in order to destroy their previous criminal records.

However, after just a few months of normal life, he learned that his friend Han had died in a car accident in Tokyo. Brian came to Tokyo to find out the truth. 】

At this point, the audience on Earth must not understand it, because Django has changed the plot of "Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift".

Strictly speaking, "Fast & Furious 3: Tokyo Drift" and "Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw" can be completely regarded as extras. If the order is based on the plot, it should be 12456378+Hobbs & Shaw.

So, it is not filmed in the order of the plot, nor in the order of release, and it is also related to "Initial D". It is definitely not possible without changes.

Moreover, the reason why this movie failed in both box office and reputation on Earth is largely due to the change of director, starring and script.

First of all, look at the script, the story is quite bad.

【Sean is a high school student whose parents are divorced. He often races with others and gets into trouble. After another campus drag racing that injured the other party, in order to avoid prison, he had to leave the United States and come to Tokyo, living in the home of his father who was serving in the army.

At school, Sean met Xiao Hei, who was also from the United States, and met the beautiful girl Nila at the underground car race, which caused dissatisfaction from her boyfriend DK. Sean was not afraid and proposed a race, so DK's business partner Han lent Sean a car to compete. As a result, DK easily won with his extraordinary drifting skills, but Sean smashed Han's car to pieces. In order to compensate Han for the car, Sean could only help Han.

Han is DK's partner. DK's uncle is a gangster boss. Han helped DK collect protection fees, so he was exempted from paying, but Han secretly took a cut from the protection fees collected. At this time, DK's uncle appeared and told DK that the amount of protection fees was wrong. DK, who had been kept in the dark, suddenly figured it out and took people to Han's place to smash the place in a rage. Han crashed the car while escaping, and the car exploded and died (in fact, someone framed him to avenge Owen who was defeated by Dom in "Fast and Furious 6").

Sean wants to settle the matter in his own way. He wants to return the money that Han swallowed to DK's uncle and issue a declaration of war to DK. If he wins, all the grudges between the two sides will be written off. If he loses, he will leave Japan forever. So on the thrilling hairpin turns in the streets of Tokyo, the two staged a wonderful drama of life and death at Speed, but the bet of this race was Sean's own life. In the end, he won the race and got together with Nila.

Everything is back on track, underground racing is still going on, Sean becomes the new DK-Drift king, one day Xiao Hei comes to tell him that someone wants to race with him, that person claims to be Han's family, which makes Sean, who didn't want to race, decisively agree, Han is too important in his heart, both a teacher and a friend, when the car approaches, it turns out that the person coming is Dom, the two people's race begins, and the whole film ends here. 】

The whole film can be summarized as "a woman triggers a drag race".

Secondly, look at the casting of the male lead, it is sincere, with a face of 20 or 30 years old, but the character setting is a high school student, and the personality is not attractive at all.

In addition, when the film was promoted, one of the soul characters of the 12 films [Dom] was used as a gimmick, but he only showed his face at the end, and the car didn't race.

In short, the only highlight of the movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" is drifting.

So after repeated consideration, Django made drastic changes.

Since the plot of 6 is being continued, the opening scene directly uses a simplified version of the ending of 6, and then uses the death of the character [Han] to promote the plot, and makes [Brian], one of the souls of the Fast and Furious series, the protagonist.

This is the first time that he has changed the original plot on such a large scale, which is already broken up and reorganized. This is also the reason why he is not confident about the quality of this movie.

At this moment, Django is watching the screen while observing the reactions of the audience around him.

Fortunately...

So far, no one has dozed off, left, or played with their phones out of boredom.
