If you want to name each era according to the movie, then in the mainland in the 1980s, its keyword must belong to martial arts.
A "Shaolin Temple" turned out to bring an unprecedented boom in martial arts, and martial arts became the hottest topic of that era.
A series of martial arts films such as "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs", "Southern Fist King", "Heroes from Ancient Times", "Wulin Zhi" and so on have sprung up like mushrooms, and the audience can watch dazzling at the same time, but also be able to feast their eyes.
Those classic fight scenes are even more blood-boiling, clapping hands and applauding.
However, among the many martial arts films, there is a very special one, which is based on a well-known character - Yue Fei.
Yue Fei's story is naturally familiar to everyone, but the relatives behind Yue Fei, the audience must know very little.
And this "Little General of the Yue Family" just fills this gap, focusing the camera on Yue Fei's son, Yue Yun.
How heroic will the son of a generation of famous generals be?
Released in 1984 and directed by Wang Zhiyu and starring Xun Feng and Wei Wei, the film was the first widescreen color martial arts film shot in mainland China.
01, Yue Fei is trapped, jin bing intends to rob his mother-in-law
The story takes place during the Northern Song Dynasty, and a major event that shocks the annals of history occurs - the shame of Jing Kang.
The marshals of the Jin Dynasty went south to attack the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty and robbed the Hui and Qin emperors in one fell swoop, so strange and humiliating, it can be called an ancient person who has never been before and has never come after.
The government and the opposition shook and searched hard for a way to crack it. At this critical moment of life and death, Yue Fei stepped forward and led an army to resist the Jin Dynasty.
Yue Fei's strength in leading the troops was first-class, and under his leadership, the Song army quickly turned over and sang, and won a small victory.
However, the gap in strength between the Song army and the Jin army was too large, and the short-term victory was difficult to resist the five-way attack of the Jin army, surrounded by layers.
As the city continued to fall, Emperor Gaozong of Song began to panic, and he decided to withdraw from Jinling first and retreat to a safe place, leaving Qingshan without worrying about firewood.
This decision was bitter to Yue Fei, and in order to protect The Safe Transfer of Emperor Gaozong of Song, he led his troops to escort him to the death.
On the other hand, the Marshal of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Wushu, took the opportunity to launch an attack at this time, besieging Yue Fei at Niutou Mountain.
The two sides were deadlocked at Niutou Mountain, Jin Wushu could not attack strongly, and Yue Fei could not break through.
In order to break the deadlock, Jin Wushu sent the second prince Jin Marbles, the third princess Yin Lingzi, and the general Zhang Zhaonu, ordering them to disguise themselves and sneak into the Yue family's army, rob Yue Fei's mother, and force Yue Fei to surrender.
At this time, the atmosphere in Yue Jiazhuang was very solemn, and everyone had already received the news that Yue Fei was trapped.
Yue Fei had five sons, the most outstanding of which was the eldest son, Yue Yun, who inherited his father's martial arts talent, and practiced diligently from an early age, not only was he strong in martial arts, but also in strategic decision-making.
On the other hand, the disguised Jin Marbles and his party encountered a real Yue family army soldier, Niu Tong, on the way to Yuejiazhuang.
Niu Tong had a straightforward personality, grinned widely, looked at the costume of the golden marbles, and thought that everyone was Yue Jiajun, so he warmly invited the three of them to go on the road together.
Although Niutong looks dull on the outside, he is actually a thick and thin personality.
After several contacts, Niu Tong discovered the cat in it, and soon discovered the true face of the "Silver Lingzi" woman dressed as a man, and also learned of the plot of the three people planning to rob their mother-in-law.
He did not dare to delay, and left on horseback overnight, rushing to Yuejiazhuang to report the news. A confrontation between the young general of the Yue family and the Jin Bing was about to begin.
02, the young general of the Yue family showed his might
Yue Yun learned the ins and outs of the matter from niutong, who had come from the wind and dust servants, and compared to Niutong's panic, Yue Yun seemed very calm.
However, with only two hundred golden soldiers, the young general of the Yue family was not afraid at all.
After some thought, Yue Yun already had a plan in mind, and the people and horses in Yue Jiazhuang were divided into three roads, one was led by Yue Yun to meet the Jin soldiers head-on, and the second route was led by the fourth brother and five brothers, who were responsible for encircling from the rear of the enemy and blocking the enemy's rear road.
The last road is responsible for the safety of the family members in the house.
On the frontal battlefield, Yue Yun confronted the princess Yin Lingzi, although she was born noble, but Yin Lingzi was not a flower shelf that had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she was proficient in archery on horseback.
After a few rounds, Yue Yun fell behind and was captured by Yin Lingzi on the spot, thinking that he would be doomed, but who knew that Yin Lingzi let Yue Yun go.
The frontal battlefield was defeated, and the rear was not peaceful.
On the night of the battle, the cunning golden marbles led the troops to sneak into Yuejiazhuang, and the soldiers were ill-defended, and the jin soldiers forcibly attacked Yuejiazhuang.
The mother-in-law would rather die than fall into the hands of the enemy. At the critical moment, Yue Yun returned with his troops in time, but the fifth brother Yue Zhen was still kidnapped by Jin Bing.
On the other hand, Yin Lingzi was also captured by Niu Tong, and her mother-in-law knew that Yin Lingzi was not bad in nature, so she took the initiative to let her go.
Back at the camp, Yin Lingzi knew that she was aware of the Tu Report and secretly assisted Yue Yun and Yue Ting in rescuing Yue Zhen, who was captured.
When The Golden Marble found out, he was furious and shot an arrow at the traitor, and the other party fell down in response, and waited until the Golden Marbles unveiled the corpse to find that this person was his sister Yin Lingzi.
The golden marbles who had lost their sister were so grief-stricken that they fell overnight, and the golden soldiers had no choice but to collect their troops hastily, ending this sad siege trip.
At the end of the film, Yue Yun, who has experienced this battle, is about to start his new journey, rushing to Niutou Mountain to fight with his father for his homeland.
03, the male protagonist Who does not stop changing his name and cannot become popular, the heroine Zhang Xiling has been shadowing for many years
In the film, the protagonist Yue Yun's actor Xun Feng, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, heroic, who watched it did not have to praise a dancing young man.
However, it is also strange that such a handsome actor has a bumpy road to acting, and although he has starred in many martial arts films, he has been tepid.
Jet Li, who debuted at the same time as him, was in a flat stride and became popular.
Xun Feng learned martial arts from a famous master since he was a child, and he was quite accomplished in swordsmanship, and he won the national swordplay championship at a young age, and his future was unlimited.
When Zhang Xinyan was filming "Shaolin Temple", he looked for actors with martial arts skills everywhere, and Jet Li, a good seedling, was discovered by him.
At the same time, Zhang Xinyan also looked up to Xun Feng, but his role was much less than Jet Li, and he could only play a supporting role and play the role of a small monk in the Daokong.
Although Xun Feng played it with all his heart, this role was not favored by the audience.
After "Shaolin Temple", Xun Feng's film contracts continued, and he starred in the male protagonists in "Yue Family Young General", "Chuan guo secret edict", and "New Fang Shiyu".
Later, he developed in the Hong Kong film industry, participated in the role of Master Wu in "Green Blood Sword" starring Yuan Biao, and took a stage name of "Shi Baohua".
But I don't know why, most of the audience only remembered the role he played, and they didn't have any impression of him.
When it comes to peak hunting, many people are at a loss. Speaking of Yue Yun, the audience suddenly realized.
Xun Feng himself was also very confused, perhaps by someone pointing out, he once kept changing his name, Xun Feng, Xun Yi Feng, Shi Baohua.
However, after going around, it still did not red. I think it's still time, and my life is gone.
The heroine Zhang Xiling also participated in films such as "Princess Wencheng" and "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs", and later withdrew from the film industry at the end of the 80s.
Now looking back at "The Little General of the Yue Family" again, my ears will ring: little lilies, blooming beside me; please don't leave me, I love your white fragrance. (Written by: Miki)
