Speaking of Zhong Shaoxiong, I believe that some old film fans must be very familiar with him, especially the classic works directed by him, and the people who have seen it must be countless, such as wang Jing's "Macau Storm" series directed by Wang Jing, cooperated with Chow Yun-fat, "Mong Kok Prison" cooperated with Zhang Jiahui, and the spy drama "Secret War" cooperated with Zhao Liying, Aaron Kwok and others.
Still
In this issue, we will introduce an old film he directed in 1993. Many young people in this movie may not have heard of it, the name is called "Assassin New Legend of the Murderer Tang Chop", as soon as you hear the name, you know that this must be a costume drama, but also a martial arts movie about martial arts and slightly suspenseful. This martial arts movie is not very famous, and if measured by the current box office, this movie will definitely be among the bad movies.
The male protagonist of the film is named "Tang Cho" (Zhang Fengyi), Ah Cho Brother was originally a kind and upright civilian youth, but he was arrested when he eloped with his beloved woman Ah Yao (Guan Zhilin as Lu Yao), and the saddest thing is that after being arrested, Ah Cho Brother not only lost the person he loved most in his life, but also sentenced to capital punishment without trial, and was tortured to death.
Brother Ah Cho, who thought that this was the end of his life, gained the only vitality at the time of life and death, and under the encouragement of eight criminals who looked at each other, Brother Ah Cho became the only one who survived, and then he was carefully cultivated into a fierce killer by Xiao Xianxian (Ni Dahong as Wei Zhongxian) from the distant Forbidden City.
After joining Xiao Xianxian's killer organization, Brother Ah Cho can be said to have opened up all the way, and repeatedly made great achievements and jumped into the big red people around Xiao Xianxian. Just as the so-called tree is a big trick, of course, no one will pay attention to you when you are not red, but once you are red, you will fall into the vortex of right and wrong, and soon Brother Ah Will become another killer, Brother Ah Zhong (Zhang Guangbei as Song Zhong). Thinking that Xiao Xianxian was so much better at this person than his later generation, he was really angry. Soon, Brother Ah Cho received orders from Xiao Xianxian to assassinate the great power division of the dynasty.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bustling and lively street market, with the murderous Brother Ah Cho was preparing to go down with a knife, but unexpectedly there was a familiar and gentle voice in his ears, Brother Ah Cho turned his head to look, is this not his lover Ah Yao, who has not been seen for many years? No, she still has a child in her arms? Brother Ah, whose eyes were surprised and confused, cried out in pain, then put down his weapon and jumped on the roof and fled.
After escaping, Brother Ah Cho was very worried, after all, from the day he became a cold-blooded killer, he had never lost his hand. After learning that Brother Ah Cho's assassination failed, Xiao Xianxian was also furious, and immediately ordered all his minions to move and must get rid of Ah Cho. Fate caused ah to be injured in the process of escaping and was accidentally rescued by Ah Yao's current husband, and stayed in Ah Yao's home to recuperate. During the recuperation period, the conscience of Brother Ah Cho was touched by the kind villagers, and he also did a lot of good things for the villagers, and then when Brother Ah Zhong was chased, the villagers also played a cover for Brother Ah Cho.
Although Ah Zhong and Ah Chou are both killers, after all, there is still a big difference between the two. In order to hunt down and kill Ah Zhong, he not only burned down the villagers' houses, but also destroyed a large area of the southern flower field. In a fit of rage, Brother Ah Zhong killed Brother Ah Zhong, and in order to gain complete light for himself, and in order to help the world get rid of the traitor, Brother Ah Cho decided to re-enter the Tiger's Den and returned to Xiao Xianxian's side.
But the sinister and cunning Xiao Xianxian is such a good fool, he first uses Brother Ah Cho and another killer, Brother Akou, to get rid of Xiao Xianxian's mortal rival Gonggong Mi, and then orders Brother Ah Kou to turn the knife to Brother Ah. The well-meaning Brother Ah Cho originally wanted to use his good intentions to awaken the last trace of kindness in the depths of Brother Ako's heart, but who knew that Brother Ako had already fallen into a demon because of his greed and arrogance, and became a puppet, and finally Brother Ah Cho had to raise the knife in his hand to Brother Ako.
After solving Brother Ako, Tang Cho walked into the main hall and used the hell sword in his hand to solve the evil little sage. The devil fu fa, the dawn of justice begins to awaken, And Brother Ah ends his sinful career as an Assassin, and finally the scarred Brother Ah returns to the beautiful South Flower Field again.
This film is now 28 years away, because the scale of this film in all aspects has exceeded the normal scope, so this film was not only banned in the mainland for 10 years, but also was forced to be removed from the shelves after only 10 days of release in Hong Kong, so its box office was very dismal, but it is still very classic in terms of quality. The acting skills of several actors in the film, such as Zhang Guangbei and Ni Dahong, As well as Zhang Fengyi and Guan Zhilin, are also a highlight.
