Jackie Chan Movie--The Plot Introduction of Myth Thank you!

Qin Dynasty general Meng Yi (played by Jackie Chan) escorted North Korean princess Yushu (played by Kim Hee Sun) to become a concubine of the Qin Dynasty. During the period, they were ambushed by rebels. The two fell into a waterfall holding hands... Archaeologist Jack ( Jackie Chan) has been haunted by the same dream for many years. He is fascinated by the woman in white with an otherworldly appearance in the dream. It feels like she is close but still far away. She wants to find him but has no way to start.

One day, his friend William (played by Tony Leung Ka Fai) came to invite him to participate in a plan to study the mysterious floating power. Jack agreed to go to Disha to explore the secrets together. In the temple, the coffin was hanging in mid-air. The two of them looked at it dumbfounded. William took off the gemstone on the sacrificial sandalwood, and the coffin suddenly lost its buoyancy and fell to the ground. Jack and William just escaped, but were chased by the tombkeeper. Jack accidentally fell into the rapids. Fortunately, he was rescued by the Indian girl Samantha. She also took him to see the eminent monk and learned that he had a past life fate with the sword found in the temple.

Jack was eager to solve the mystery of the dream and decided to leave Samantha and return to China, to Xi'an, the former capital of Qin Dynasty. Jack met William who survived the catastrophe again at the Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum in Xi'an. He excitedly revealed to Jack that he discovered that the coffin gems could resist gravity, so he took the buoyant gems as his own. William even turned to Mr. Gu, who was smuggling under the guise of academic tomb robbing. , relying on the other party's financial resources to continue research, Jack denounced William's selfish behavior; a pair of friends who had been through life and death broke up due to different beliefs.

Jack took a helicopter to the sky above Mount Li and ventured into the waterfall in the canyon. The scene was just like a dream; on the other hand, William had been following with the help of high-tech equipment, and the two of them broke into a tunnel leading to the suspended heavenly palace at the same time. In the tunnel, the coveted Princess Yushu appeared alive in front of Jack's eyes. Yushu, who had been waiting for thousands of years, finally arrived. General Meng Yi, who kept his promise, came back to find her.

At this time, Mr. Gu actually took over the Suspended Heavenly Palace by force and wanted to become the immortal emperor. The possessed William pried out the gems on the mechanism in the chaos. The heavenly palace suddenly lost its buoyancy, mercury fell straight from the sky, and mercury gushed out. When William was swallowed by mercury, he asked Jack to help him continue his research, and gave Jack a piece of ore before he died.

When Yushu knew that Jack was not the Meng Yi who had been waiting so hard, he decided to continue waiting for Meng Yi to come back. Mr. Gu went to the Heavenly Palace to get the elixir of immortality, but was pulled down by Nangong Yan and fell into the abyss together. Mr. Gu's dream of immortality was shattered. Jack used the buoyancy that had not completely disappeared to pass through the tunnel and pop out of the hole, falling into the deep pool of the canyon. When he woke up, he found that he had been washed up by the current on the pebble beach of the canyon. Six months later, Jack wrote a book, "Myth."

Extended information

Speaking of the origin of filming "Myth", Jackie Chan said that filming a costume drama was an experiment. It just so happens that "Myth" contains ancient times and modern times, and Jackie Chan plays a general, which is very new to Jackie Chan. But the most important thing about Jackie Chan taking on this drama is that there is a plot in it, which is a scene about returning cultural relics to the country. Jackie Chan hopes to use his influence to do some charity things. Jackie Chan feels that this plot is very valuable.

The shot linking of "The Myth" is among the best in domestic films. Jackie Chan's movies are designed to allow more viewers to understand the narrative logic, so each scene of "The Myth" chooses the most direct and smooth editing method to connect the previous and the next. The lake, arms, paintings, horses, feet, mouse, etc. in the picture all serve to convey the parallel narrative process. All these means that the audience does not need to think too hard.

There are not many exciting fights in "Myth", and the so-called epic style is lackluster. If you let everyone see that the black-coloured horse named Hei Feng possesses unique skills, then unfortunately, this horse has already stolen the limelight. "Myth" is our great Mausoleum of the First Emperor and the mystery of immortality passed down from ancient times. This is a huge space for imagination. If there had not been the appearance of the imperial mausoleum in the sky, it would have definitely made the foreigners who made treasure hunting movies like "National Treasure" laugh out loud, and the movie should have been renamed "Joke".
