Arrogant all his life, but how cold his heart is
"Never Get Drunk and Wake Up"
In the eyes of many audiences, the 1993 Chinese New Year martial arts comedy film "East Becomes West" has always been a classic that can be relived countless times, and the super platinum lineup composed of Zhang Guorong, Lin Qingxia, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Liang Chaowei, Liang Jiahui, Wang Zuxian, Liu Jialing, Zhong Zhentao, Ye Yuqing, etc., and the extremely crazy nonsense funny bridge section, all make the audience think about it.
The full name of "East into West" is "The Legend of the Archery Hero", the plot and characters are derived from Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Legend of the Shooting Eagle Hero"; however, it is not a normal adaptation, because all the stories are not in the original book, telling some absurd stories that happened when the Central Plains Wujie was young, belonging to the Jin Yong derivative fandom, similar to the prequel.
In fact, the 1990s were the last glorious years of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and that was also the era when Jin Yong's martial arts dramas were the hottest.
Before and after "East becomes West", Hong Kong TVB has filmed 6 Jin Yong derivative dramas, each with 20 episodes, and has deeply constructed and rebuilt Jin Yong's famous works such as "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", "The Green Blood Sword", "The Divine Eagle Hero" and "The Tale of the Dragon Slayer in the Sky".
The 6 Jin Yong spin-off dramas are:
"Sword Demon Alone and Defeated" premiered on April 1, 1990
"ZhongshenTong Wang Chongyang" premiered on October 19, 1992
The Nine Yin True Scriptures premiered on April 19, 1993
"Golden Snake LangJun" premiered on June 7, 1993
The Golden Retriever Premiered on February 7, 1994
"The Prequel to the Eagle Shooter" premiered on March 16, 1994
Among them, the last 5 were filmed in one breath, and then "Sword Demon Alone and Defeated" was also replayed in 1994, these 6 classic Jin Yong derivative dramas, let the audience watch a pleasure.

Among these 6 Jin Yong derivative dramas, Zheng Yijian starred in 3, Huang Rihua, Jiang David and Yin Yangming each starred in 1; each with a Douban score of more than 7.0, the best reputation was the 8.6-point "Nine Yin True Classics".
Lonely and defeated is a character in "Divine Eagle Hero", but he did not officially appear, and Yang Guo obtained his martial arts inheritance by chance and became a new five-level master.
"Sword Demon Lonely Seeking Defeat" is to sort out the origin of the lonely and defeated lineage and the inheritance of martial arts, what kind of love and hatred they have experienced, and why they are called lonely and defeated, and why they are finally buried in the deep valley.
Huang Rihua's lonely defeat is the first version of the screen sword demon image.
Wang Chongyang is a character in "The Legend of the Archery Hero", the founding ancestor of the Quanzhen Sect, and the first of the five absolute gods in the world. The housekeeping skills are The Heavenly Gong and the Yiyang Finger, but they have been immortal in the book for many years.
"Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang" is also about Wang Chongyang's (played by Zheng Yijian) and his martial arts heritage, as well as his love-hate relationship with Lin Chaoying, the founding ancestor of the Tomb Sect, when he was young. It also tells the history of the Nine Yin True Classics, as well as the heroic stories of Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying rebelling against the Jin Kingdom.
The most daring adaptation was to set Lin Chaoying as the illegitimate daughter of Huang Bao, the author of the Nine Yin True Classics.
The Nine Yin True Scriptures are the first martial arts classic in the Legend of the Archery Hero, and the 25-year-old Huashan Treatise on the Sword is to compete for it.
In the drama version of "Nine Yin True Classics", the male protagonist is Huang Yaoshi (played by Jiang David), the female protagonist is Huang Yaoshi's wife Feng Yu, Wang Chongyang, Ouyang Feng, Hong Qigong, Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing, Zhou Botong and other world-class masters are young, and the focus is still on competing for the "Nine Yin True Classics".
The most violent adaptations are:
Huang Yaoshi was originally a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, and Master Zhao Bufan was a scum of the jianghu;
Huang Yaoshi's eldest disciple Chen Xuanfeng was originally a disciple of the Iron Palm Gang, and Mei Chaofeng was originally a disciple of Ouyang Feng;
Huang Yaoshi also has another confidante, Liu Rongyue, who is the owner of the Tingyu Building;
Feng Yun is the princess of jinguo, a holy daughter of shamanism, but her real identity is an abandoned baby raised by the king of Jinguo in Mount Hua;
Taohua Island originally had another owner, the island owner's daughter Yang Ziyan had a crush on Huang Yaoshi, she gave the soft armor to Feng Yu, and finally died to save Huang Yaoshi.
From the plot and character design to the actor's interpretation, "The Nine Yin True Classics" are the best of these derivative dramas.
"The Prequel to the Shooting Eagle: The Southern Emperor beiqi" is obvious, that is, it tells the story of the southern emperor Duan Zhixing and the northern qigong Hong qigong when they were young, mainly the love story of the jianghu.
The story of the Southern Emperor (played by Zheng Yijian) is known to many people, and it is clearly stated in the original book of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", that is, his noble concubine Yinggu and the old naughty boy Zhou Botong secretly Chen Cang, who refused to treat the injured sons of the two and regretted it, and finally became a master of a lamp.
The love story of Hong Qigong (played by Wei Junjie) is a completely new compilation, in the play he is actually a rich man, but he likes to mix with the people of the gang, falls in love with the daughter of the elder of the gang of clean clothes, gets involved in the dispute between the dirty clothes and the clean clothes of the gang, and finally worships the former gang leader, learns the method of descending the dragon eighteen palms and beating the dog stick, and takes over as the leader of the gang.
The theme song is "Never Get Drunk and Awake in Life" sung by Jacky Cheung, and the theme song "Who is the Big Hero" of "East becomes West" is also sung by Jacky Cheung.
Golden Snake Lang Junxia Xueyi is a character in "Green Blood Sword", did not officially appear, but was known as an invisible male protagonist, and his martial arts legacy was very important to Yuan Chengzhi's growth.
In "Golden Snake Langjun", the character played by Zheng Yijian is named Xie Lianhuan, xia Xueyi is played by Luo Jialiang; Xie Lianhuan was originally a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family, was hunted down and killed by various jianghu forces, and coincidentally fell into the Golden Snake Cave, got the true inheritance of the Golden Snake Langjun, and became the second generation of Golden Snake Langjun.
Finally, he buried the "Golden Snake Secret" back to its original place, and withdrew from the jianghu with his wife and children, so that Yuan Chengzhi in "Blue Blood Sword" could be excavated again.
[In 1993, when "Golden Snake Langjun" was broadcast, there was also a movie "New Blue Blood Sword", starring Yuan Biao, and Li Xiuxian played Golden Snake Langjun.] 】
Xie Xun, the Golden Retriever King, is an important figure in the Book of the Dragon Slaughter in the Heavens, one of the four great apologetic kings of the Ming Sect, zhang Wuji's righteous father, and the housekeeper's martial arts are lion roar gong and seven wounded fists.
The plot of "The Golden Retriever King" has been explained a lot in "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", mainly Xie Xun's (played by Yin Yangming) when he was young and his master Cheng Kun's enmity, as well as Cheng Kun's grudge with Yang Dingtian.
What is more unexpected is that Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao have become sinister villains; and the biggest highlight is the purple-shirted dragon king Daisy played by Li Wanhua, which is definitely the most beautiful version.
Now that big online movies are rampant, jin yong martial arts themes are frequently put on the small screen, but the quality is difficult to reach the level of TVB's jin yong fandom dramas of that year.
If you really can't make it up, you can learn from these classics of TVB more than 20 years ago.
