Dong Fangbubai storm again (1992).

Starring: Brigitte Lin, Joey Wong

Joey Wong plays Snow Chihiro, and Snow Chihiro is Dong Fangbubai's concubine. She loved Dong Fangbubai deeply and eventually died for Dong Fangbubai. Is it love, love or any other emotion that makes people fall in the clouds and fog, which is worthy of careful taste and analysis?

Too many movies, especially martial arts movies, whether martial arts or directors, will make people feel outdated and boring when they look back after a certain period of time. However, this the legendary swordsman is fascinating. So, I think so. After so many years, Tsui Hark has left a valuable cultural heritage and film concept to future generations, especially those who like martial arts movies. This is the film, and it is also the old-fashioned interpretation and interpretation of Jin Yong in China's martial arts culture.

Perhaps, Hong Kong people will forget that this is just entertainment, just an unforgettable martial arts and political contest. However, the legendary swordsman's classics, like Qi Baishi's ink paintings, are clear, mysterious, illusory and gloomy, but insurmountable and difficult to follow.

The adaptation of Jin Yong's original works has always been an arduous task. Before moving the knife, the operator grinds the knife, wipes his hands, chooses the right time, works hard and lays hands on it. I don't know how much effort it took, but the solved cow finally broke into pieces, with no bones and no blood. However, in the three years since the filming of Wu Xiafeng began in the early 1990s, the adaptation of the legendary swordsman has always been the best in Hong Kong martial arts films. For Xinlongmen Inn, it may get in the way, and some scenes will overshadow the legendary swordsman, but overall, objectively speaking, Xinlongmen Inn is a martial arts album with profound connotations, followed by the legendary swordsman. Really, no martial arts movie can surpass it. Of course, so far, at least it is so stupid. Even Korean and Japanese samurai films can't compare. Although their films are also very beautiful, they also attach great importance to martial arts and philosophy of life. However, the legendary swordsman is unique in form and core, which is beyond the reach of Japanese and Korean directors.

The first movie is that there is no word "ambition". If you want to bring it, I think it should be called the legendary swordsman Sunflower Collection, because this movie is about who will win the sunflower collection. Lin Zhennan, Lin Pingzhi, eunuch factory palace of Daming East Factory, Ren Yingying, head of Huashan Mountain, Yue Buqun, a disciple of Huashan Mountain who didn't know the truth, and Dong Fangbubai, who didn't appear, all tried their best to possess the sunflower collection. As a result, martial arts ambition, Jianghu politics, intrigue and bloodshed filled the whole drama, which made the story climax again and again until Yue Buqun was physically disabled and helpless, and Ling Huchong and Miao master Ren Yingying left the Jianghu.

The first film "the legendary swordsman" established that it will be the overlord of the classic martial arts movies, and it will seize treasures by any means, such as atmosphere, politics and war. You can deny it to your six parents, and the blood will become a river. In fact, it reveals the greed and desire of Jianghu Wulin for life, and makes people see that the root of everything in the world is originally interest and self-interest. Few people can see clearly, regard fame as dirt, regard slaughter as a river of blood, and regard possession as a shame. Only Feng Qingyang is one, Ling Huchong is one, and Yue Lingshan is one. Unreasonable Lu Dayou always retains a little humane justice and conscience. Therefore, there are really good and evil and fiend in martial arts.

Another classic of this film is the legendary swordsman. The chorus of decent and evil schools, The Sea Laughs and Waves Across the Strait, is a classic, which is perfectly combined with this film, and no one can replace it. Although, according to the original work, Liu Zhengfeng was taken from Ji Kang's Guangling San, and it was A Zheng's solo, but what he is listening to now is not the original music. But this song, which was adapted into a movie, is full of sadness, cadence and heroism. Although it is Liu Zhengfeng's work of withdrawing from Jianghu, it is a kind of nostalgia for Jianghu, which makes people feel that it is a sinister contradictory psychological portrayal of Jianghu and a joke between heaven and earth. On the one hand, we should pursue fame and fortune in the Jianghu, and on the other hand, we should avoid the world and live in seclusion. However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be grievances and fame and fortune. Where there are fame and fortune and grievances, there is slaughter. No one can violate this law. Whoever violates it will go upstream and die of burning his heart.

As for the actor, Ling Huchong, played by Samuel Hui, looks a little old, and his appearance is really pleasing. Although he has some bright spots in the movies, Samuel Hui may be better as an old man, but he is not an elegant Ling Huchong. Also, Lingshan in Cecilia Yip is a bit masculine. You can't see that if Lin Pingzhi marries her, she will really be married to a man. Ren Yingying played by Sharla Cheung is not as poisonous and beautiful as imagined, but a Miao leader.

This film made bold assumptions and adaptations of Jin Yong's original works, mixed with many plots, and even made a brand-new character exchange. The story is different, but its success should be an accident.

The second film is called Dong Fangbubai in the Jianghu. The whole film tells the love and hate that Ling Huchong met Dong Fangbubai when he accidentally broke into the forbidden area in Dong Fangbubai, revealing the dialectical relationship between good and evil, which is right and wrong, and has never been defined. In fact, it is also a continuation of Zheng Xiao ensemble and Quyang's music, which can turn evil into right. Through the story of Ling Huchong's unswerving love for the East, he made a footnote for the confusion between good and evil in the world. Although Ling Huchong had a sweetheart Ren Yingying at that time, the theme of the film is that a prodigal son like Ling Huchong is unwilling to follow Dong Fangbubai's charm and beauty after his metamorphosis. At first, Ling Huchong didn't know Dong Fangbubai, just like a rabbit who came to play with Grandma Wolf. However, people outside the stadium held sticks for him, and Dong Fangbubai could eat him at any moment. But grandma wolf also has people and things that make her happy, so instead of eating him, she fell in love with him.

Because, Dong Fangbubai is also a human being. Although he has so many scheming and poisonous names, when he sees Ling Huchong with smart style, no matter how heartless he is, he will have the intention of meeting each other after a brief encounter, and he will be revived by his heart. Because the transformed Dong Fangbubai has become feminine, it is natural to have an admiration for the young and handsome Ling Huchong, just as Harisu likes Takeshi Kaneshiro today. Dong Fangbubai and Ling Huchong are in love, but this is the best part of the novel adaptation. Until Ling Huchong saved Ren Woxing, he would not sympathize with his hero because of Ren Woxing's injustice, even though he was Ren Yingying's father. For Dong Fangbubai, Ling Huchong regarded her as a friend in the Jianghu, and even mistook Sisi for Dong Fangbubai. Because of this, Ling Huchong did not regret it, because he remembered that Sisi was Dong Fangbubai's and two of the same kind, which also showed a truth. People's love and sex come from the heart, not the body. Love comes from the hero's self-knowledge, not the body's sexual sense of smell. At this point, Dong Fangbubai's story opened its own scene, making the viewer think backwards. From Dong Fangbubai's point of view, men and women, although the film didn't get to the point, but through Ling Huchong's feeling and performance, Ling Huchong knew that this was acting with his beloved concubine, Miss Sisi, but he didn't make a state of surprise and regret. He decided in his mind that that night, it must be Dong Fangbubai and his two of a kind. When he jumped off a cliff in Dong Fangbubai, he wanted to find out this fact. Did Dong Fangbubai sleep with him that night?

The most tearful scene, Ling Huchong accidentally stabbed Dong Fangbubai's sword, which was not fatal, but was fatally wounded by Ren Woxing's star-sucking solution. Therefore, Dong Fangbubai was defeated by Ling Huchong and Ren Woxing. Therefore, knowing that Ling Huchong loved him deeply, Dong Fangbubai let himself jump off the cliff. He didn't tell the truth that night, which made Ling Huchong feel guilty and confused all his life. Is Dong Fangbubai the only thrill in Ling Huchong? What he needs is a combination of spirit and flesh, because, from the bottom of my heart, he likes Dong Fangbubai best.

The story of love martial arts is an old topic and an old story. However, when it is used to give this story a magical person with a mixture of good and evil, it has a contradictory meaning in itself. Yes, the film seems to tell people that the world with reversed ethics is a river and lake where right and wrong are indistinguishable and grievances are fleeting. There is no black and white distinction between good and evil, only love can distinguish between friends and enemies; There is no distinction between merits and demerits in the Jianghu where the fiend is confused. Only love can make people lament. Ling Huchong and Dong Fangbubai constructed a pluralistic proposition of the world of martial arts, reorganized the concept of imagination according to the thinking mode of Jianghu, and completely reformed the concept of martial arts love.

"Dong Fangbubai in the Jianghu" was actually defeated by the word "love", not by martial arts. Without Ling Huchong, Ren Woxing could not be saved, and Ren Woxing could not win Dong Fangbubai on the Blackwood Cliff. However, Dong Fangbubai was not the only one who lost his reputation and life because of love, and Ling Huchong was the only one who regretted his life because of love.

So far, in the legendary swordsman's film and television works, Jet Li is the best performer of Ling Huchong's unruly role. He is aura, justice, persistence, love for life and the highest realm of martial arts. His performance of Ling Huchong was vivid and admirable. Here, Jet Li owes his performance to the director. After watching so many Jet Li movies, without a good director, there would naturally be no Jet Li. It should be said that Jet Li is an actor without his own spirituality. Like a humanoid puppet, it needs an expert director to pull it. The better he plays, the more witty and charming he is. When will he be himself? Perhaps, the sword is still in doubt.

Dong Fangbubai, perhaps because of Brigitte Lin, made Dong Fangbubai the supreme figure in the martial arts movies of Hong Kong films, and also the man behind the evolution of women. So far, no actor in Dong Fangbubai can match him. Who else can infer all this? Dong Fangbubai changed from a devil to a lover with dual personality, half a devil and half a charming girl, all inspired by Jet Li's handsome charm and elegant expression, which made Brigitte Lin played by Dong Fangbubai radiant and heroic. Until today, this younger generation has been radiant and amazing.

Here, Rosamund Kwan also plays Ren Yingying wholeheartedly, and Michelle monique Rice also plays Lingshan seriously, but she is not so outstanding. Is it because she is not as beautiful as Brigitte Lin? Among Hong Kong beauties, Rosamund Kwan's eyes are soft, Michelle monique Rice's milk is rich and beautiful, and she is also Zinia Fang. However, because of these, Brigitte Lin's Dong Fangbubai has been submerged by beautiful scenery, and people will naturally think of the old saying: Two tigers can fit in one mountain? Besides, like Brigitte Lin's beauty and magic games, there was very little one person in 500 years. Can be male or female, can be fierce and soft, can be evil and positive, she is the myth of Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, she is the supreme of all beings, invincible in the East, for half a century, so far no one can compare, this is the extinct volcano phenomenon of Lin dating, how can the latter,,,? It's not easy to get only a little.

The third film, The Storm in the legendary swordsman Comes Again, was shot at 1993 and directed by Chen Xiaodong and Li Huimin. At that time, Hong Kong films, especially martial arts films, had declined, but this series of films supported the extension of martial arts films in Hong Kong, which was a golden decline.

The film has deviated from the original story track of Jin Yong's novels, only making Dong Fangbubai immortal, and extending this character, introducing Changfeng Gu, a senior official of Amin Dynasty with thousands of families, and keeping the title of the supreme martial arts in Dong Fangbubai. Just like a couple, if you want to call heroes and sects in the Jianghu, you have to fool everyone with mythical figures. This story is based on the struggle between true and false Dong Fangbubai.

Snow Chihiro is in charge of Sun Moon Shintoism in the name of Dong Fangbubai. The Dutch lost science to Dong Fangbubai's personal martial arts myth, because they thought of stealing the "sunflower collection". In addition, they believed in the new god Dong Fangbubai, and the Japanese worshipped Dong Fangbubai as a military leader. Even the navy of the Ming Dynasty wanted to show itself in the name of Dong Fangbubai. On the one hand, Changfeng Gu and Dong Fangbubai were mysterious and admired by their predecessors in Wulin, on the other hand, they were indignant at Dong Fangbubai's massacre of life. Thus, there was a magnificent picture of Mingshui Division and warships of Dong Fangbubai's armed forces fighting at sea. As Changfeng Gu said, Dong Fangbubai's personal martial arts are unparalleled, but he can't lead the battle. His failure was inferior to Changfeng Gu's military tactics. Through his love affair with Snow Chihiro, Dong Fangbubai regretted it and took Snow Chihiro's body to the Jianghu, leaving his sadness.

After all, Dong Fangbubai is a man, not a god. Because she has worldly desires, she can only be Dong Fangbubai in name, not Dong Fangbubai forever.

Because Brigitte Lin was almost forty years old when she made this film, her beauty made people old, which coincided with Dong Fangbubai's despair and sadness in his twilight years. In fact, is Brigitte Lin such a tragic figure in the entertainment circle of Hong Kong and Taiwan? She is old, and some people want to wander in the film and television rivers and lakes in her name. Her appearance naturally made those prostitutes feel ashamed. Judging from the understanding of Dong Fangbubai, compared with the heroic image of Changfeng Gu and the image of handsome young people, it is more Brigitte Lin's own understanding and suggestion. He is a hero in his twilight years, and no red hero knows the sadness he has found. The legendary swordsman, how can he laugh? Laughing is also bitter, and laughing again is also tears. The rivers and lakes are blustery, the sound of the forest is surging, and clouds and smoke are floating by. How many people are living up to expectations?

Therefore, Brigitte Lin's worries and conjectures in this film make people feel sad and sorry. How to make a comeback? This is just the last whistle of the dying dragon.

Lang's charm also shines in this film. No wonder when Changfeng Gu saw Snow Chihiro, he had the heart to meet each other after a brief encounter and helped her out of danger several times, just for a sweet word. Snow Chihiro is the most charming strange girl in Storm. Besides being eccentric, she is full of coquetry and feminine beauty for men. This is precisely because of Joey Wong's unique performing arts and his amazing eyes. However, compared with Brigitte Lin, she is not so domineering and awe-inspiring. She thinks that she is still a charming Jianghu artist who makes the hero feel pity, rather than an all-powerful hero in Wulin. This is still rooted in Joey Wong's appearance and beauty. Joey Wong is destined to be a regretful heroine.

Yu Rongguang, the actor of Changfeng Gu, is a martial arts actor who came to Hong Kong from the mainland to develop. What impressed him the most was the mirage with Xu Xiaoming, with some personality and talent, and his acting skills were regarded as figures in the domestic entertainment circle. However, the best performer should be the grave robber in Qin Warrior directed by Chen Xiaodong, who looks and acts like a Hollywood movie star. It's a pity that he didn't take this road in his future film career and wasted such a good side. Even in the film the legendary swordsman, I feel that Yu Rongguang's performance is only general, conceptual and unreasonable. Such a humble martial artist may be better played by someone else. However, Yu Rongguang's fame in the legendary swordsman exempted him from this role in this film, and some people remembered him as a third-rate martial artist from the mainland.

When excavating the novel the legendary swordsman, Mr. Jin Lao was actually a metaphor, a metaphor for domestic political circles and returnees at that time. But people didn't notice that Mr. Jin had his own political obligations and ideals, and carved Ling Huchong, Yue Buqun, Zuo Lengchan, Ren Woxing, Dong Fangbubai and Lin Pingzhi into his bones, which was daunting. Politics, political line, organizational structure, gang operation, hegemony, lack of fame and arrogance, these are the rivers and lakes, the life of rivers and lakes, and the politics of rivers and lakes. This Jianghu is not a martial arts Jianghu, but a political Jianghu. Perhaps, the politics of Jianghu is more terrible than the bloody slaughter of Jianghu, because the physical destruction of life is only a natural survival phenomenon, just a cycle of life and death. However, the distortion of the soul endowed with life is the sorrow of human nature, because the fragile soul is an inexhaustible format in the world, an eternal sorrow for existence, and this is politics. Politics makes people awake and satisfied, but at the same time it creates blood and hegemony to bury humanity and emotion. It is a bloody flower of sin and evil.

Some people say that if you learn to interpret the legendary swordsman, you can gain a place in the shady commodity economic relations, gain fame and travel appropriately. However, if everyone can read the legendary swordsman, then in this world, it is a twilight road, how to bloom flowers, how to smell incense and whether the sky is blue, that is the broad road for human progress, and who dare to take the lead?

If there is no evil in the world, it is really good. The world should know that the origin is only a matter of rivers and lakes, and wine is at the forefront.
