The film "The Drunken Man" is the first martial arts masterpiece directed by Hu Jinquan, and its concept consciousness and technique are so clever that it does not need to be praised, and the stronger feeling in my personal heart is that its emergence has brought a clear stream to Hong Kong films.
But like other new martial arts directors, the film still bears obvious traces of old-fashioned Cantonese martial arts films.
Although it is funny, it witnesses the growth process of a director. Hu Jinquan only had thirteen films in his lifetime, so each one is the most precious image, and the advantages and disadvantages are worthy of being recorded and explained.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > rescues his brother</h1>
The story of "The Drunken Man" takes place in the Ming Dynasty, when the son of Zhang Zhijun of Liangjiang was abducted by the prisoner's accomplices on the way to escort the prisoner, and he was exchanged for the head of the prisoner's thief.
Zhang Zhijun's daughter Jin Yan's children dressed as men to rescue their brother alone, and when they met a thief with a smiley tiger and a group of thieves, Jin Yanzi suppressed the group. However, she was alone and alone, and it was difficult to save people by her own strength, but fortunately, the drunkard Fan Dabei helped to know that her brother was locked up in Guangji Temple.
Jin Yanzi went to Guangji Temple to save people, but was outnumbered, seriously injured, and in a critical situation, he was saved by Fan Dabei, who had been following him and secretly helping him.
Guangji Temple Fang Wen and Fan Dabei are brothers and sisters, but because the master passed on the position of head to Fan Dabei, the original shi brothers became enemies. And the void is also the backer of the thief party, then the decisive battle between Fan Dabei and the void is inevitable, and Fan Dabei finally cleans up the scum of the division. On the other hand, under the guidance of Fan Dabei, Jin Yanzi successfully rescued her brother and destroyed all thieves.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > similar to the unique performance style of Peking Opera</h1>
Very similar to the Peking Opera performance is the first impression given by the film, not about the picture, but the effect and charm of the sound.
The opening scene is zhang Buqing, the son of Zhang Zhijun, escorting the prisoners to a mountainous land, accompanied by the unique drum beat of Peking Opera, which immediately pulls people back to the past. Because I don't understand Peking Opera, I can't be sure if the music outside of the drum beats is also pure Peking Opera.
However, musical things are difficult to say, and those that do not belong to Peking Opera today may be used tomorrow. Hopefully, I didn't make stupid mistakes, and I couldn't even figure out where the music came from.
His late "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" uses Hunan Zi, and the percussion sound does not understand but also sounds like it is from Peking Opera.
In addition, under the unique performance style, the character design and shaping are successful, which adds a lot to the film.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > successful character design</h1>
Seemingly scenic places hide a killing machine. The jade-faced tiger appears and kidnaps Zhang Buqing to blackmail him into writing a letter to his father, Lord Zhijun, in exchange for his own life.
Since it is called jade-faced tiger, it is naturally handsome in appearance. But as far as the film makeup technique is concerned, it is inevitable that the white is exaggerated, the tendency to stage character modeling is the only explanation, the face on the makeup reflects the close relationship between the film and peking opera, and it is not used to the party being eccentric, but there is another freshness, and since the drama can directly externalize the character's heart with the face, the movie is not unavoidable.
Although the image of the jade-faced tiger is not very mature, it is already a representative figure of Hu's films. Represented by the jade-faced tiger, the film's characters have a firm position of good and evil, with strong traces of early creation, and after "Dragon Gate Guest", the characters in Hu Jinquan's works are no longer so uniform.
Zhang Buqing was full of righteousness, never agreed to the other party's request, and believed that his father would not compromise with the bandits. Blindly exhorting the bandits to turn themselves in, even saying lines such as "I never count your personal good or bad" to me. Hu Jinquanwen's popularity is really heavy, which is simply a conspiracy with the tiger, and there is no correct assessment of the situation at all. The bandits had no choice but to write letters themselves.
In the process of discussing the development of the event and the possible outcome, they are not afraid of anyone, they are afraid of the golden swallow. Jin Yanzi did not see his body, first smelled his person, who was he, so feminine and even with a strong boudoir name Why did many murderers who killed people without blood be so jealous? Knowing that it is an appetizing trick or curiosity.
Techniques may be commonly used, it does not matter if others have used them, the specific situations are different, the people are different, and the film status is different, it is often used and new.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > the shaping of the core character</h1>
Golden Swallow is the core character in this movie, and her chivalrous style has left a deep impression on the audience.
In addition, there is another character is Fan Dabei, whose soberness in drunkenness makes people think deeply. Drunkenness is the state set by the film for Fan Dabei, not any specific pain to forget, but still a drunken relief. In short, if you are drunk, you can not think of it.
If you have to say that you have something on your mind, it is a grudge between him and his brother. He was also a disciple of the Qingzhu Gang, and when he entered the Qingzhu Gang, he was brought in by The Void, and as a master brother, he took good care of him. However, the master saw that the hollow technique was not correct, and passed the position of the helper to Fan Dabei, and the void committed the great crime of killing the master, and kept looking for opportunities to seize the position of the helper.
As for Fan Dabei's identity as Hanako, it seems that joining the Qingzhu Gang is like this, so the Qingzhu Gang should be the Cai Gang, and the head relic, the Qingzhu Stick, is the familiar dog stick.
Hu Jinquan is obviously also a martial arts novel, but "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" began to be serialized in Ming Pao in 1957.
Fan Dabei and Hong Qigong also have slight similarities, the same good wine, the same foolishness and naughtiness, the same chivalrous and righteous, and the same not close to women! However, he sang more than the HongQi Guild, the flowers begged for the lotus flowers, he sang more with plates and eyes, Fan Dabei's song is a major feature of "The Drunken Man", the tune is beautiful, and the lyrics are filled in by Hu Jinquan.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > action defect</h1>
The action design of the film is really not good, and the front head sends a small with three punches and two feet, which is too easy to see the Tao. In the end, the decisive battle with the void was really too bad to do, even if you didn't understand kung fu, you didn't need to do it. What age, still in the palm of the hand jet, before the show put the golden bell cover body protection, has been stunned.
Now the two were actually separated by tens of meters, attacking with the palm of their hands, only to see two unreliable white qi colliding between the two, like the gods and monster martial arts films of the twenties, they sent the white light thousands of miles away to take the first level. If you turn off the sound of the film, just look at the picture is completely the strange martial arts of the twenties.
