Black, strong, and ugly, can you accept such a Xiao Zhan?
When I first watched the new trailer released by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great One", there was only one word in my heart: disappointment.

Xiao Zhan's Guo Jing, the actor who was once called "the world's most handsome" by countless people, how did he become like this? With a dull complexion, a bulky figure, and a sluggish expression, he has completely lost his previous agility and handsomeness. Is this still the Xiao Zhan I remember?
Looking at Guo Jing in the trailer, I was instantly poured a basin of cold water with full of anticipation, and I couldn't help but want to complain in the comment area.
But the moment I clicked the mouse to open the comment section, the whole person was stunned.
There was no scolding, only praise. "Finally waited for this taste, this is Guo Jing!" "Passers-by are excited, and I will definitely go to see it on the first day of the new year." “
So, I decided to revisit the trailer and feel every detail of it. Clicking on the trailer again, this time, I no longer stared at Xiao Zhan's face, but listened carefully to the lines and observed the expressions of the characters.
When the sentence with an accent "Beggar Gang, come to help Guo Daxia" sounded, in the camera, there were vicissitudes of face and a pair of firm eyes.
They may be dressed in rags or haggard, but the perseverance that comes from the heart hits the hearts of people. At this moment, I suddenly understood the meaning of Guo Jing, and also understood why Tsui Hark wanted Xiao Zhan to present such an image.
A person who is strong in martial arts may not have mercy; And those with low martial arts may not be able to act righteously.
Guo Jing is not the kind of chivalrous warrior who is stunning at a glance, he is clumsy and wooden, but his simplicity and kindness are his most precious places. He does not have peerless intelligence, but he has become a real "hero" with a pure heart.
The image of the heroine Huang Rong has also undergone a great transformation in the trailer. Zhuang Dafei, who was originally questioned, won the recognition of many people with his firm eyes and sharp temperament this time.
She is no longer just the delicate and lovely "Rong'er", but under the lens of Tsui Hark, she has become a more resilient female character in troubled times.
It can be said that this change has made Huang Rong more charming, and it has also made people's expectations for the movie skyrocket.
"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." This sentence, after reading the trailer, I finally understood its deep meaning. Chivalry has never been a hero on top, but those who cherish their family and country and are willing to give everything for the people.
Guo Jing's image may not be perfect, but it is precisely because he is that simple and clumsy teenager that this character becomes more real. Through Xiao Zhan's Guo Jing, what Tsui Hark wants to convey is not just a story of the rivers and lakes, but a profound theme about the righteousness of the family and country.
So, can you accept such a Guo Jing? If the definition of chivalry is no longer a perfect appearance, but the righteousness and kindness of the heart, then can such Guo Jing make you respect?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's walk into the theater and feel the true meaning of "the great man" again!
