Originally serialized in the Hong Kong Commercial Daily from 1957 to 1959, writer Ni Kuang said: "Shooting Eagle laid the foundation for Jin Yong's martial arts novels as 'giants'. Since then, "Shooting Eagle" has been remade many times as a movie and TV series. Today we compare the various film and television versions of Huang Yaoshi, who is closest to Mr. Jin's real "Eastern Evil".
Mr. Jin Yong named the Eastern Evil cult after Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo of the Tang Dynasty, and described him as a super-great figure who knew all about astronomical geography, literary and martial arts, five elements of bagua, Qimen Dunjia, Qinqi calligraphy and painting, arithmetic Taoluo, medical astrology, and even farmland water conservancy, economic military strategy, and so on. Oriental genus wood, medicine (medicine) on the grass and under the wood also. The wood color is green, so it is matched with a green cloth robe, holding a green jade reed, wearing a square scarf of the same color, tall and thin, scribe-like, living in the oriental peach blossom island.
Looking at the description of the appearance of the Eastern Evil, Mr. Jin only used sixteen words: "The image is pure, the style is refreshing, Xiao Shuxuan is lifted, and the cham is like a god." These sixteen words look a little strange, and you can't intuitively feel the style of the Eastern Evil. Translated into the vernacular, the meaning is: the image is thin and elegant, the demeanor is beautiful and bright, the demeanor is natural and free, the atmosphere is extraordinary, and the calm and clear appearance is like a god. A good faction of fairy wind Dao bones, outstanding everyone's demeanor! Therefore, we must know an important issue that is easy to be ignored by everyone: the Eastern Evil does not have any "evil" qi in appearance.
So how do we interpret the word "evil" in the East Evil? Why did the most talented generation of grandmasters in "Archery" have such a personality? Mr. Jin Yong's Century Revised Edition gives us the answer. The Century Revised Edition adds the past between him and Mei Chaofeng, and also explains his family background: as a royal historian, his grandfather was degraded for justice for Yue Fei, and was later killed, and the whole family was exiled to Yunnan, and the family road fell from then on. So he decided to overthrow the imperial court and kill the emperor and the traitors of the court. After many arguments and arguments with his father, he was finally expelled from the house by his loyal and obedient father. After returning to his hometown of Zhejiang, he did a lot of "evil things" that the people dared not think of and did not dare to do, and was called "evil monster hero" by the people.
The addition of this family background actually found the root of Huang Yaoshi's "evil" - that is, the hatred of the homeland hidden in his heart! Some readers will ask, it is not difficult to kill the emperor or take revenge on the traitors with the later martial arts of the Eastern Evil Cult, why did he not do that? It is true that it is not difficult to kill the traitorous courtiers, but what if you kill them? Nine times out of ten, the new emperor is still a late monarch, and the traitors must be endless, so do they have to keep killing? After all, the root cause of some problems is that Huang Yaoshi can't solve, so Huang Yaoshi's temperament is with some helplessness and melancholy, so it can be understood that he is attached to qinqi calligraphy and painting and martial arts...
He had already seen through the world, and perhaps it was the last two words that Lu Xun found after going through the Book of the Sages. So he despised all the laws of benevolence and righteousness and abandoned all moral rules. What I do does not need to be explained, do not have to be polite, do not have to be grateful, insult and slander casually, say what I have to say, and do not obey! At this time, his "evil" is to do as he pleases but has certain rules, I do my own thing but have a big heart, true and free but sincere! It is not because of the distortion of personality or the strangeness of neurotic behavior, nor is it because of aggressiveness and arrogance. Then it can be understood that he was full of scriptures but deviated from the scriptures, slandered the saints and destroyed the sages, he regarded etiquette as dung but respected loyal servants and filial pieties, and he had a gentlemanly demeanor but was unruly. He is otherworldly but loves to protect his face and protect his shortness; he is arrogant but behaves strangely and is moody; he is indifferent and elegant but fierce in heart, and his eyes will repay; he is obviously a master and a master, but he comes and goes like a ghost, and does not show his true face; he has a whimsical spirit but cannot avoid the love of his children. This can't help but remind of another character in Jin Yong's pen, the Golden Snake Lang Jun, Xia Ben wuxue but suitable, combining good and evil.
After "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" was made into a film and television work, there were more than ten versions of the actors of the Eastern Evil. The increasingly gorgeous appearance has been far from the simple attire of the original green robe and scarf, so we should focus on the overall temperament of each Huang Yaoshi actor and the interpretation of this "evil" word. In summary, there are only four actors who can comprehensively interpret the character of the Eastern Evil in the two aspects of the form and god, and the author believes that there are only four.
The first is the classic Zeng Jiang version. His Eastern Evil is a bit fierce and blunt in appearance and temperament, and does not quite conform to the appearance and temperament characteristics of the sixteen characters (the image is pure, the style is refreshing, Xiao Shuxuanju, and Zhanran is like a god). The grasp of the word "evil" is biased towards obedience and domineering. The arrogance and evil of the eyes is a misinterpretation of the word "evil". But it is undeniable that he largely set the tone of his "domineering east evil".
Huang Qiusheng's Huang Yaoshi performed very well, calm and elegant, but the appearance and temperament were worse.
Miao Qiaowei's Huang Yaoshi was handsome and compelling, and some breakthroughs were remarkable, but they were not completely separated from Zeng Jiang's shadow.
Comparatively speaking, Cao Peichang's version of Huang Yaoshi should be the closest to the original Huang Yaoshi. First of all, his appearance and temperament are just bright and bright, and there is no "evil" qi. The melancholy temperament is the hidden pain under the arrogance in his heart, and behind the firm eyes is the confidence that is enough to face the bloody rain and wind of the rivers and lakes. As a martial arts grand master with extraordinary talent and wisdom, there is almost nothing in the world that can hide from him, and nothing can be difficult to overthrow him, so there is no need to show people with a fierce appearance, nor is there any need to pretend to be arrogant, just calmly take their own "evil" road.
In addition, huang yaoshi also played famous actors such as Jiang David, Luo Yingjun, and Li Mingshun. Readers can analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each actor according to the analysis of the characters in front of me. In fact, everyone has a yellow old evil in their hearts, which one do you readers like? Welcome to leave a comment
