The Escort Agency in the World: the first escort in the world, the enmity and hatred in the Jianghu
A love story caused by a sachet
The legendary course of an escort king.
A masterpiece of a costume film that eliminates evil and promotes good.
A visually novel martial arts commercial film
Since ancient times, it has been said, "Businessmen are inseparable from darts, and darts are inseparable from business." Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, escort agencies have existed in all commercially developed areas.
During the development of escort agency culture for more than 200 years, ten most distinctive and influential escort agencies emerged. China Escort Agency’s magnificent historical scenery, which swallowed waves and swelled waves, has interpreted countless legendary stories.
Shanxi merchants and dart culture are the most typical culture of Shanxi merchants.
The six dart systems adopted by the escort agency are: letter dart, ticket dart, silver dart, grain dart, material dart and personal dart. The main forms of escort before the birth of escort agency are basically consistent with the emergence and development of commerce. The rapid development of business has made many people become big bosses and officials. Too much gold and silver has brought too much danger, so they invite people with martial arts to accompany them to protect themselves.
It is against this social and commercial background that the film leads to a magical story of darting in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Stills of "World Escort Agency"
The World Escort Agency will bring us a different martial arts vision.
A. The logical development of the plot
At the beginning of the film, a love story is drawn. Wang Zhenwei, the old daughter of Shanxi, has a higher heart than the sky. He is not satisfied with living in Shanxi for a long time and is bent on opening a "world escort agency" in Beijing. Under the guidance of my parents, I opened an escort agency. I didn’t expect this one to be a sachet to escort Princess Shi from Shenfu Royal Guards. Although it is not expensive, it is also a business. According to the old rules, the bodyguard can take the list of the items he receives and the pass issued by the government, so he can take the dart on the road. Unexpectedly, he was chased by a master on the way, and it was dangerous.
The heroine’s name is Shen Feiyan, the daughter of Shi Shenrong, the commander of Royal Guards. She is unruly and willful, and likes guns and sticks. She is a frivolous woman who has nothing to do in the palace, so she uses a sachet to try darts. Let’s see if this newly opened escort agency is in name only. After the princess issued the dart, she didn’t finish the calculation, but also sent a team of people to rob the dart …
One day, Wang Zhenwei was alone in the forest and grass with a dart box on his back. Suddenly, a group of men jumped out of the wild grass and launched a life-and-death fight with Wang Zhenwei, the escort, who lost to his opponent. Suddenly, the father of the escort seemed to fall from the sky and tried his best to protect his son. In the fight, he fought to the death and drank away the robber, but his father was seriously injured. Facing the injured father, Wang Zhenwei did not flinch and was determined to carry out the escort business to the end.
At the same time, the butler also sent a few troops to chase the darts. The reason is that there is a secret piece in the girl’s sachet, which contains a list of thousands of corrupt officials in Beijing, which makes an ordinary dart line confusing …
2. Unique martial arts design
Wushu is a tradition in China, which has dual functions of fitness and attack and defense. Because Shanxi merchants often go out for business thousands of miles away, they often encounter unexpected difficulties and obstacles, even thieves’ attacks. Therefore, Shanxi merchants have always attached importance to martial arts, and many people practice martial arts themselves to strengthen their bodies and defend themselves from thieves’ attacks.
Wushu and boxers play a role in protecting the safety of Shanxi merchants, and Shanxi merchants’ encouragement and support for Wushu and boxers also play a role in promoting Wushu activities to a certain extent.
The martial arts of the film can be said to be the biggest highlight of the film. The martial arts director is Li Cai, a famous martial arts designer in film and television. He was the martial arts director of Zhang Yimou’s Hero. This digital film shooting can be said to be familiar with the martial arts design. On the basis of the script, the martial arts design mainly depends on imagination to become a wonderful martial arts drama. His martial arts design has a large space and high difficulty. The lens modeling is realistic, virtual and real, dynamic and static, and the combination of dynamic and static is like flowing water.
The martial arts design in the film strives for novelty, and there are breakthroughs and innovations in martial arts design. Especially at the end of the film, water village and bamboo ware are used to build momentum and have excellent visual effects.
3. Expressive techniques of relaxation
A movie must have a relaxed rhythm, that is, it must create a dramatic climax in every time period, so as to continuously attract the audience into the plot. In this respect, The Escort Agency in the World is an excellent example. For example, the combination of love drama and kung fu drama makes the plot of the film fast and slow, and it is relaxed.
The arrangement of the plot and the allocation of shots in the film are prioritized, leaving sufficient room for the rhythm of the film. For example, in the first half of the film, there is no accumulation of shots, but it is as soothing and dull as possible, trying to achieve gradual progress in rhythm and strive to be a latecomer, laying an excellent foundation for finally conquering the audience.
4. Grand aesthetic pursuit
The World Escort Agency is beautiful and excellent in martial arts, stunts, music, modeling and costumes. Strive for innovation and innovation in the exploration and innovation of martial arts films. As the creator of the play, no matter the playwright, director or actor, they strive for perfection. Especially in the final stage of the film, the design of martial arts and the use of lens reached a feverish level. Underwater and water, land and sky, bamboo wares and weapons were intertwined, and several people were killed inextricably, creating a grand and majestic fierce battle scene. The film pursued a grand and shocking momentum, and it was overwhelming in the arrangement of strength, and finally won the applause of the audience!
