"Flying people in the phoenix, traveling in the Ninth Heaven, even if there is no spirit rhinoceros finger, eyebrows are also proud, the same name Chu Liuxiang, not inferior to tanhualang, love and righteousness are priceless, flowers are full of rivers, snow blowing wind is neutral, picking stars downstream, get friends like this, what do you want in this life."
"Four eyebrows" Lu Xiaofeng, as one of the classic images of the martial arts master Gu Long, has always been a favored object in film and television works. However, to interpret Lu Xiaofeng's incomparable wit, charm and affection to life is a huge challenge for the actor.
So among the many actors who have played Lu Xiaofeng in film and television works, which actor has played this role the most praised by the audience? What about the most classic?
Lu Xiaofeng
1. Liu Songren
In 1976, Liu Songren played the role of Lu Xiaofeng in the TVB version of "Lu Xiaofeng" directed by Wang Jing's father Wang Tianlin, who was also the earliest actor of Lu Xiaofeng, a martial arts character. When he was young, Liu Songren was handsome and handsome, and the Lu Xiaofeng he played was personable, handsome, funny and affectionate, which was an unforgettable classic in the hearts of many older-generation Hong Kong audiences.
It is only because the drama is so old that many mainland audiences are not familiar with it.

2. Liu Yong
After Liu Songren, the image of "Lu Xiaofeng" was also put on the movie screen.
In 1978, Shaw filmed the martial arts film "Lu Xiaofeng's Embroidered Thief", which was starred by Liu Yong, a popular shao student at the time. Liu Yong's "Lu Xiaofeng" can be regarded as an outlier, and although the eccentric temperament of "Lu Xiaofeng" was fully restored by Liu Yong, the "Lu Xiaofeng" played by Liu Yong did not have a beard, which made many original parties very sad. In 1981, Liu Yong starred again in the movie "Before and After the Decisive Battle of Lu Xiaofeng", and under the pressure of the audience, director Chu Yuan put a beard on Liu Yong.

3. Liu Dekai
Not only in Hong Kong, but also in many film and television works in Taiwan, Lu Xiaofeng also appears, and the most well-known version of it is Liu Dekai. In 1981, Liu Dekai played "Lu Xiaofeng" in the movie "A Smile of the Sword God", an image that had shined in Taiwanese film and television works. This famous Qiong Yao drama male protagonist is also attracting much attention on the acting path of ancient costume martial arts dramas.
In addition, Liu Dekai not only starred in "Lu Xiaofeng", but also starred in the Taiwanese version of "Chu Liuxiang".

4. Meng Fei
Meng Fei, an actor who was once Shao's, also played "Lu Xiaofeng" in the 1980s in three film and television works, "A Phoenix Flying Ninety Thousand Miles", "Sword Qi Full of Heaven and Flowers" and "Nine Days of Phoenix Dance", and the most impressive thing in the film was not Lu Xiaofeng, but the film screenwriter and producer Yang Junjun, that is, the famous "Ximen Aunt".

5. Wei Ziyun
Wei Ziyun was once a member of the Hong Kong Shaw Company, responsible for dance rehearsals, and then switched to martial arts, and in the early 1970s, he went to Taiwan to develop, signed a contract with Huashi Company, and became the preferred star of martial arts films at that time.
In 1984, the self-directed and self-acting TV series "Lu Xiaofeng" won numerous praises, excellent reputation, the work was loyal to the original work, and the quality exceeded the standard of Taiwanese dramas of that era.

6. Wan Ziliang
In 1986, Hong Kong TVB once again filmed the TV series "Lu Xiaofeng's Phoenix Dance for Nine Days" with Lu Xiaofeng as the protagonist, starring Wan Ziliang.
Before playing this role, in 1977 he became famous for the role of Xie Xiaofeng in "The Sword of the Three Young Masters". His acting dedication and mature acting skills have created a Lu Xiaofeng whose charm and personality are very consistent with the original work. However, the appearance value has dragged its legs, and he is still far from the image of a gentleman.

7. Zhang Jiahui
Zhang Jiahui's "Lu Xiaofeng" image also makes many people remember it vividly. In 2000, Andy Lau, Zheng Yijian and Zhang Jiahui co-starred in the martial arts movie "Decisive Battle for the Top of the Forbidden Purple", and Zhang Jiahui's "Lu Xiaofeng" image was also exquisite. Not only is the costume in place, Lu Xiaofeng's uninhibited and eccentric personality has also been fully reflected in Zhang Jiahui.
Due to the reasons for the film adaptation, Zhang Jiahui's version of Lu Xiaofeng has become a character with nonsense, whether it is from the character modeling or words and deeds, it is obviously with comedic color, it can be said that it is still very good in interpreting Lu Xiaofeng's humor.

8. Lin Zhiying
In 2000, Taiwan led the filming of "Before and After the Decisive Battle of Lu Xiaofeng", which was starred by Lin Zhiying. Lin Zhiying, as an ageless male god recognized by the two sides of the taiwan strait and three places, has always had a high popularity, and he has countless fans with the small fish in "Absolute Double Pride" and the charming smile in the middle of "Tianlong Babu".
However, the version of Lu Xiaofeng's temperament that he played did not match, slightly immature, it was difficult to cover up the small defects in acting, and it did not deduce Lu Xiaofeng's unique calmness and uninhibitedness that had experienced the world. Moreover, the shape in the play was complained about by many viewers as the martial arts version of "Lu Xun".

9. Sun Yaowei
In 2001, Singapore, Taiwan and Chinese mainland co-produced the martial arts TV series "Lu Xiaofeng's Phoenix Dance for Nine Days", in which Sun Yaowei played "Lu Xiaofeng".
This version and Lin Zhiying's version are filmed in succession, are multi-party co-production, some actors are also the same, the two versions of Lu Xiaofeng's style is also thunderous, personally feel that Sun Yaowei's version is relatively better.
The biggest attraction of these two editions is Li Mingshun's Ximen Blowing Snow, which can be said to be the most successful Ximen Blowing Snow in all the "Lu Xiaofeng" series.

10. Zhang Zhilin
Zhang Zhilin, the classic Lu Xiaofeng. In 2007, his CCTV film "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" filmed in the mainland premiered. With his profound acting skills and a pair of "electric eyes" that are talked about by the audience, he portrays Lu Xiaofeng's personality as a gentleman, cynicism, and casualness to the fullest.
Zhang Zhilin's version of Lu Xiaofeng has a handsome appearance, especially the iconic "four eyebrows" are even more impressive. This version of Lu Xiaofeng has been evaluated by many as like coming out of the book, so it has become a classic in the hearts of a new generation of audiences!

11. Lin Feng
In the 2015 TV series "Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou", Lu Xiaofeng was played by popular actor Lin Feng. Prior to this, Lin Feng also starred in classic TV series such as "In Search of Qin" and "The Legend of The Tang Dynasty Double Dragon", and his costumes have been well received.
His proper styling in the play, coupled with his handsome face and superb acting skills, was unanimously praised by the audience, and the only flaw was that his expression was serious and lacked a kind of freedom. Overall, his interpretation was successful, but the show failed, losing out on the screenwriter's innovative adaptation of the plot.

The above actors who play Lu Xiaofeng, I believe that the feelings of the old generation and the new generation of audiences are not the same, and there will be a different image of Lu Xiaofeng in their hearts, so which one is your favorite and classic work?
