In 2020, "Crackdown" was released, and the melee scene between Wu Yanzu and Wang Qianyuan in the film was bloody.
However, in addition to these pleasing men, Bao Qijing, the mother of the gangster Wu Yanzu in the film, her performance is as brilliant as ever, and she is praised by the audience as the best in the audience.
The Hong Kong actor, who was 71 years old at the time, played the complex and nervous psychological process of a mother.
As an old drama bone, Bao Qijing has starred in countless movies, and in 2008, she won the Hong Kong Academy Awards in one fell swoop, and her acting strength should not be underestimated.
Many fans of the older generation first met Bao Qijing in 1977's "Qu Yuan", which was her first on-screen collaboration with her father Bao Fang.
Although the two are masters and apprentices in the film, they are more like father and daughter, although they are the first time partners, the cooperation between the two is seamless, and the film's great acclaim has also made this cooperation a beautiful story in the Hong Kong film industry.
"Qu Yuan", the first Hong Kong film released in the mainland after the Cultural Revolution, was warmly welcomed by hundreds of millions of viewers that year, the film was directed by Bao Fang, the "sweeping god monk", and co-starred bao fang, Zhu Hong, Bao Qijing, and Zhang Zheng.
01, the change of law is imperative
In the Chu state more than 2,000 years ago, Qu Yuan lived in an era of rising together, but the Chu state was not a strong man, and the Qin state tried to unify the world and looked at other countries.
At this time, the internal and external troubles of the Chu state were very serious, the nobles were constantly squeezing slaves, and class contradictions had become a trend of water and fire. In the quarry outside the city, slaves led by Wuhai rose up in resistance, and a riot began.
On the other hand, the palace was a peaceful scene of singing and dancing, and king Chu Huai and his pet Ji Zheng Gui were drunk and dreaming of death, indulging in the mesmerizing sound of the palace women.
The nobles represented by their pet Ji ZhengGui (Zhu Hong) and Shangguan Dafu Jin Shang vigorously opposed the chu huai king's change of law in order to protect their own interests.
Qu Yuan was ordered to send an envoy to the State of Qi, and he accomplished his task brilliantly, bringing back the military joint defense clauses between Chu and Qi, and he always insisted on reforming politics by changing the law internally and joining forces with the outside world to resist Qin.
However, as the monarch of the Chu state, King Huai of Chu coveted enjoyment, brutally exploited the people, and was even more difficult to choose in the face of the change of law.
This clause was violently attacked by Jin Shang, and the pet Ji ZhengGui was also fanning the flames, and the two sang and tried to dispel the thoughts of King Huai of Chu. Fortunately, Qu Yuan fought hard and temporarily gained the trust of king Huai of Chu.
Back at the mansion, Qu Yuan sees the maid Chan Juan (Bao Qijing) playing her new work "Ode to Orange". Xu was politically triumphant, and Qu Yuan took Chan Juan and his disciple Song Yu to talk about Orange's unwavering character.
This conversation is not only an inspiration for the younger generations, but also Qu Yuan reminds himself that he must strengthen his ideals and never compromise.
The change of law was in full swing, and the interests of more and more nobles were shaken, and they hated Qu Yuan so much that they itched their teeth and wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood and sleep on his skin.
So the nobles found their favorite, Zheng Gui, hoping that she could think of ideas.
Zheng Gui summoned Qu Yuan into the palace, first touting Qu Yuan's new work "Ode to Orange" in a strange way, and then asking Qu Yuan to be the wife of his only son, Zi Lan, so that Qu Yuan did not have so much time to change the law.
Qu Yuan discovered Zheng Gui's sinister intentions and flatly refused. A plan can not be regenerated, Zheng Gui also used the high-ranking official Houlu, beautiful women to coerce and induce.
Instead of being moved, Qu Yuan felt deeply humiliated. My heart is as solid as a rock. There is no room for maneuver in the matter of changing the law, and it must be advanced.
02, depressed
However, in the end, it was not as good as heaven' calculation, and the arrival of Zhang Yi of the Zongheng family broke Qu Yuan's plan. As the chancellor of the Qin State, Zhang Yi used a three-inch tongue to lobby countries and seek benefits for the Qin State.
Qu Yuan had already seen through Zhang Yi's true face, turned a blind eye to the pair of white walls he offered, and asked Zhang Yi to tell King Hui of Qin that the chuqi alliance's proposition would never change.
Zhang Yi, who hit the wall, did not give up, he turned to the pet Ji Zheng Sleeve again, after some rhetoric and praise, looking at a white and flawless bead in front of him, Zheng Gui's heart was already ready to move.
Zhang Yi promised Zheng Gui that as long as King Huai of Chu abandoned the alliance, the State of Qin would support Zilan to succeed to the throne.
Therefore, under the persuasion of Zheng Gui and Jin Shang, King Huai of Chu finally abandoned the decision of Lianqi.
Qu Yuan, who knew the news, was greatly disappointed and argued in front of the palace, but was unexpectedly slandered by Zheng Gui, beat a rake, and was removed from his post by the enraged King Huai of Chu.
Qu Yuan, who was heartbroken, threw away the package containing the documents of the transformation of the law, and the package drifted farther and farther away in the river water, and also took away his expectations and ideals.
Qu Yuan, who was already a civilian, was still concerned about current affairs, and after learning that the Chu soldiers had defeated the Qin state, Qu Yuan could not sit still, and he hurried back to the capital.
On the way back, he met his former friend Zhaoju, who told Qu Yuan that king Huai of Chu had changed his mind and hoped to reactivate him to change the law, and Qu Yuan, who was overjoyed, became more and more rapid.
After arriving at the palace, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and Zheng Gui intervened again, and after a moment of listening, Qu Yuan's change of law was canceled again.
The long night was long, and this path of change seemed to never see the light, and Qu Yuan was like a candle, desperately burning himself until the last moment.
But just by virtue of the glimmer of a candle, how can it illuminate the boundless night?
03, the top master - artist Bao Fang
In the movie, Qu Yuan's actor Bao Fang is both a starring actor and a director, and his amazing talent is a generation of masters.
Born into a wealthy family, Bao Fang received a good education from an early age and attended law school at university. Later, by chance, he became interested in his acting career and began to appear in some plays promoted by the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Later, he came to Hong Kong and officially began his career as a director and actor. The twist came in 1983, when Bao Fang joined TVB and joined a number of martial arts dramas, and in the drama, he was mostly a top master.
In "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes", the sword technique is amazing, and Jin Yong praised it after reading it, saying that his body had its own aura.
There is also the Boundless Sweeping Monk of Buddhism in "Eight Parts of heavenly dragons", which is evaluated by netizens as one of the top ten classic characters in Jin Yong's martial arts works.
Bao Fang's sons and daughters also inherited their father's fine traditions and achieved great success in their acting careers. Daughter Bao Qijing followed in her father's footsteps and became an excellent actor, performing well in the movie "Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai" and winning unanimous recognition in the industry.
His son, Bao Dexi, an excellent cinematographer, won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and was the first Chinese photographer to enjoy this honor.
In this way, excellence may really be inherited, and the achievements of the Bao Fang family are enough to make many people envious.
Thanks to Bao Fang for leaving us this good movie about Qu Yuan, after Bao Fang, there is no Qu Yuan, the whole world is cloudy and I am alone, everyone is drunk and I am awake, Qu Yuan's story is worth everyone's careful taste.
In today's rapidly changing society, we need qu Yuan's unwavering strength to remind ourselves of our expectations and ideals. (Written by: Miki)
