Desperate Escape： There’s not a link to watch for the freaks who mix Chinese and Western styles.

Breaking Away, like many Hollywood second-rate movies, has no bright spots.

　 　 1905 movie network news The China element in it still stays in the stage of westerners’ curiosity about unknown China. After adding these China elements, the film becomes more nondescript, especially for Chinese audiences, as if watching a big joke. Even with the participation of Chinese stars such as Liu Yifei, this film is still very mediocre, like many second-rate Hollywood movies, with no bright spots. Interestingly, if Liu Yifei and others didn’t join us, even the Chinese audience wouldn’t pay attention to it, and it would be a neglected bad film, which seems even more pitiful.

　 　 This movie is doomed to be bad. As early as a year ago, when it was also called "Breaking Away", it was already determined to be a disaster — — No matter from the material selection or lineup, almost no link in the film is reassuring. "Desperate Escape" tells the story of a western warrior who rescues a Chinese princess and runs away all the way. The plot of the combination of soil and ocean was unreasonable from the beginning. In terms of lineup, Nicolas Cage has already changed from the Oscar winner of that year to the now recognized king of bad movies and box office poison, including the new shaman performance style he created, which is just a roaring Yan Yi party; After the new Star Wars, hayden christensen, the real hero, lost his career all the way, and now it is almost difficult to enter the mainstream Hollywood film industry. As for Liu Yifei, the heroine, she has many fans, but her film career is really worrying. From the beginning to the end, as well as the "Four Famous Arrests" series, the quality of her works is always not flattering, and this time, it is just an addition to her bad film resume.

Without the participation of Liu Yifei and others, even the Chinese audience would not pay attention to this film.

　 　　Even the release of the film was a bumpy ride. It was originally planned to be released at the end of September last year, but it was repeatedly adjusted. It was not until this week that the release was really confirmed. Including the title, it was also secretly changed from Breaking Away to Breaking Away from the Legend of the White Ghost, although I still don’t know what this white ghost really means. However, the title structure of so-and-so has basically become the label of cinema films.

　 　　Objectively speaking, "The Legend of the White Ghost" is not bad enough. At least compared with many wonderful films in China, this film is also quite limited in creativity, which can only be regarded as mediocre and not novel enough. In fact, the film uses a classic plot setting. The fallen prince and princess are chased by the bad guys all the way, and the heroic warriors protect their desperate escape. After going through hardships and dangers, they defeat the bad guys, and justice can be declared. Classic also means cliche. This story has been copied or mutated too many times, and this one has not made any new ideas. The development of the story all the way is expected by the audience, and it is doomed to love each other. Most of them will be sad and mediocre.

　 　　For the mainland audience, what is really unacceptable is the mix of Chinese and Western elements. The film’s understanding of the Chinese world is roughly still in the early stage of curiosity-seeking, the struggle for power and power between royal palaces, the mysterious warrior of China, and the struggle between the imperial seal and the throne. Western Crusaders came to China to rescue the princess, which changed history. This kind of story looks like a sci-fi plot in parallel space. However, the actors are really acting in a fake way, which is also very interesting. Including which actors are called Lian and Zhao, it is obviously not our habit to address people.

　 　　The mix of Chinese and western elements is not a precedent. Such a combination is nothing more than an all-star lineup, which can cheat more box offices around the world. Just like Jackie Chan’s performance a while ago, it’s also a story about the nonsense of overhead history. However, "Heavenly Master" can at least use some thoughts on the plot, and there is a family class in action, so there is always something to watch. "Breaking Away" is basically a mix of Chinese and western nonsense, coupled with the conventional plot, mediocre action scenes, the film has few merits.

　 　　However, even if we hate this mix of Chinese and western styles, it will inevitably become a trend of Chinese cinema films. With the gradual expansion of the Chinese film market, Hollywood pays more and more attention to this huge market, and more and more films are co-produced. At the same time of co-production, how to make co-production films better integrate into the category of Chinese films is always a problem. So far, we haven’t seen a very reliable co-production of China elements, most of which are exotic things, which can neither please the western audience nor gain much recognition in Chinese. Perhaps the most ideal way is to introduce more advanced Hollywood concepts and experience in film industry production, but foreigners should not be allowed to dominate the creation itself. After all, artistic creation still needs to support local young creators, because they know China best and ultimately the audience’s preferences, which can help the mainland reduce some exotic films that mix Chinese and Western.
