  Movie network news(Photo/Li Jiakun/Liang Bingbing) At 7: 30 pm on October 20th, the directors of the annual IMAX+3D martial arts giant system Xu Ke and Jet Li went to Peking University to attend the seminar with the latest version of the film. The theme of the talks between the two men was "Recovering the Lost Land of Martial Arts". According to this theme, Peking University students asked the question "What is the Lost Land?" And "how to recover?" Jet Li said that this is the first 3D Chinese martial arts film, and there is still a long way to go in the future. He hoped it would be a good start. And his performance in the whole game is very powerful, because this is "this is coming to Peking University where the sparks of thought are frequent".

  Facing the sharp problems of the host and the audience, Tsui Hark is always calm, from his debut "Butterfly Change" to his latest work "flying swords of dragon gate" Kan Kan, which also involves many classic Hong Kong films, such as Ghost Story, and is even compared with this year’s new edition. The audience’s affirmation of his master’s works makes him very useful.

Xu Ke and Jet Li reunited for many years and then joined hands to achieve a martial arts dream.

Jet Li: If you don’t know what the director means, you have to shoot bad movies because the audience loves to watch them.

  "I never worry about how martial arts films will be filmed in the future, just like I don’t worry that romantic films can’t be filmed. Although there are only a few protagonists, there can be many permutations and combinations, one man and one woman … two men and one woman … two women and one man … Of course, two men can also shoot, right?" — — Jet Li

  During the day’s activities, many of them were fans of Kung Fu films and Jet Li, and everyone knew a lot about his works. When he talked about his early works, he was deeply touched, and he had deep feelings for his affinity and cooperation with Tsui Hark. When he became famous in China and then encountered bottlenecks, it was Zhang Xinyan, the director of his debut, who introduced him to Tsui Hark, and Jet Li listened to Bole’s advice very cleverly. Started contact with Tsui Hark, Tsui Hark took a fancy to Jet Li after Shaolin Temple, and has been looking for opportunities for cooperation, but this wait was six years. They started the intermittent cooperation of martial arts films for more than 20 years until the series of 1989, and since the series of 1991, they have jointly created the classics and characters of martial arts films.

  When the host asked about the influence of using 3D technology to shoot action movies on actors, Jet Li thought it was a challenge, because to achieve the depth and three-dimensional effect of 3D, martial arts movements should be more precise and meticulous than before, and a slight deviation will multiply the final effect. He will certainly try his best to do what the director asks, even if he can’t fully understand the reasons and significance of such requirements. This is the trust established in the long-term cooperation process. Nine times out of ten, what the director wants is to satisfy the audience, which is beautiful and effective.

  When some viewers suggested that the current martial arts films lacked the homesickness of Hong Kong films in the classic period, Tsui Hark didn’t give a full and positive answer, but Jet Li took over and talked about the so-called bad films. He thought that there must be a market for something, and if the audience spurned it without watching it, the film genre would surely die. It was because people watched many bad films actively or passively that people kept shooting and voting, forming a less benign cycle.
