Stills from The Great Warlord
In the warlord-themed movie, add some wind and moon elements, is there a head?
Of course there are heads. In 1972, the famous director Li Hanxiang made such a movie - "The Great Warlord"
The film uses Zhang Zongchang as the main dish, Han Fuyu and Sun Dianying as the side dishes, Yuan Shikai and Sun Chuanfang as the condiments, and stews a very funny smorgasbord. Of course, the most eye-catching thing about this pot dish is a number of beautiful shots of the sexy goddess Dina.
The Great Warlord poster
"The Great Warlord" is not the first Wind Moon film in the history of Hong Kong cinema, but it is the first and most popular Wind Moon film.
Since then, Li Hanxiang has concentrated on filming wind and moon films, and his best works have been frequently produced, such as: "Affair and Rhyme", "Wind and Moon Strange Tan", "Golden Bottle Plum Words", "Golden Bottle Double Beauty", "Picking Flowers and Grass", etc., and finally became a generation of Wind and Moon Film masters.

Back to the point, the original 92 minutes of "The Great Warlord" was cut for 3 minutes, and the remaining 89 minutes of the healthy version are worth watching.
01
The film is about the absurd and legendary life of the Shandong warlord Giant Tiger.
When we think of shandong warlords, we will first think of Zhang Zongchang and Han Fuyu, Zhang Zongchang occupied Shandong for 3 years (1925-1928), and Han Fuyu ruled Shandong for nearly 8 years (1930-1938), both of which were the most existential tu emperors in Shandong during the Republic of China.
Zhang Zongchang, Han Fuyu
In the film, most of the scenes of the giant tiger are directly taken from Zhang Zongchang and Han Fuyu. These deeds, either based on wild historical rumors or based on historical facts, are stories that ordinary people like to hear.
At the beginning of the movie, in the form of animation, the history of the giant tiger's fortune is explained - during the Russo-Japanese War, the giant tiger led the bandits to burn and loot everywhere, to rob the house, the Russians saw his strength, and coaxed him to fight Japan, the huge tiger made a great contribution to the Russian army, was received by the tsar, and after returning, he became the overseer of Shandong.
The Tsar invited the Giant Tiger to parade in St. Petersburg
The first act of the movie is the bombardment of the Dragon King.
In the drought of Shandong, it did not rain in March, and the gentry held a rain prayer ceremony at the Dragon King Temple to invite the overseers to incense.
The huge tiger raised his hand and flew the incense, and scolded the Dragon King statue with a scolding: You have a mother X, you will not rain in three days, I will use a cannon to break you with a cannon in Thousand Buddha Mountain.
Curse the Dragon King
Xu Guanwen's exaggerated action expression, combined with that funny Shandong dialect, the comedic effect has nothing to say.
As we all know, the shelling of the Dragon King is Zhang Zongchang's classic stem, which originated from an article entitled "Zhang Zongchang Prays for Lu Rain" published in the "Agricultural and Commercial Gazette" in November 1925.
The article only said that Shandong was dry, and Zhang Zongchang had people fire 120 cannons outside Jinan to ask for rain for farmers. Nothing happened to the Dragon King.
For various reasons, some people made up the plot of Zhang Zongchang's shelling of the Dragon King. Similarly, there are his poems that are widely circulated.
It's like "Mo Yan's Most Classic 10 Sentences: Men Look at Silence, Women See Tears", Mo Yan: I didn't say it.

Act II, Public Trial of Rape.
The widow Gao Baishi, accusing the younger uncle Gao Zhengbai of raping himself, Gao Zhengbai shouted that he had been wronged, claiming to have returned from going out, and found that Gao Baishi was clapping for love with the family's long-term worker Ji Bochang, and when Gao Zhengbai caught the rape, he was raped by Gao Baishi.
There is no decent evidence in this case, and it is difficult to figure out who is lying.
However, this was difficult for the experienced giant tiger, who let two soldiers rape Gao Bai in the hall, and Gao Bai fought hard to resist, and the three of them wrestled together and were deadlocked.
Live demonstration
The truth of the case is revealed -- two strong soldiers can't get the spicy Gao Bai clan, how can Gao Zhengbai, a weak scholar, be?
Playing Gao Bai was Hu Jin, the most famous star under Shaw at that time, and she was also the dry daughter of director Li Hanxiang.
Hu Jin is known for his flirtatious and flattering attitude, and the two hand-to-hand combat scenes are obscene and not revealing, and the size and effect are just right.
Hu Jin plays Gao Baishi
Another big laugh point was Ji Bochang, a person, and when the giant tiger read his name in Shandong dialect, the lieutenants around him laughed.
The chief of staff was wounded internally
You are the chief of the season, and your life is not long. (Uh...) A little bit of low-level fun)
Liu Dan, who plays Ji Bochang, is the father of actor Liu Kaiwei. The most famous role played by Liu Dan is Hong Qigong in the 83 version of the shooting eagle and the 96 version of the shooting eagle.
The terrier who likes to try cases comes from Han Fuyu.
Compared with Zhang Zongchang and Lu, Han Fuyu's political achievements are much more dazzling, and his goal is to build Shandong into a model province in the north. To this end, he really tried to cure it. It's just that due to his limited level, he often engages in absurd things.
According to the recollections of his subordinates, Han Fuyu liked to micro-serve private visits, sit in the court to try the case, and a "Han Qingtian" was enough to make him orgasm in his skull.
It is called "Qingtian" intracranial orgasm
He often rode a bicycle and took a few guards to the streets or outside the county to inspect, and when he encountered a complaint, he often personally received and tried the case.
Therefore, Han Fuyu's judgment case has also been interpreted in many paragraphs.
For example, when he decides a case, if his right hand is lowered and then his hand is swung to the right, this is the death penalty. On the contrary, there is innocence.
The film also borrows this passage: when the giant tiger touches the head with a sweaty hand, if the hand comes down from behind, it is innocent, and vice versa, it is a death sentence.
Sit in the hall and judge the case
Later in the film, the "unlucky egg" of the big tiger trial case who accidentally killed the father's dry son is also borrowed from the story of Han Fuyu's manslaughter to send a letter.

The third act is a birthday celebration.
The giant tiger's dry father celebrated his birthday, feasted on a big feast, and sang a church meeting at home.
The play sung by the church is "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet", which tells the story of the young man (Fu Peng) who uses a jade bracelet to seduce the young girl (Sun Yujiao), the content is well, it is not suitable for children.
"Picking Jade Bracelet"
This drama is very much in line with the temperament of the huge Tiger Overseer Palace.
The giant tiger took a fancy to the heroine of the singing drama, Xiao Lanfang, he let the chief of staff drag Xiao Lanfang's father, and then took the opportunity to take the opportunity to take a hard bow, but unexpectedly let Xiao Lanfang's father rush in, and the huge tiger was furious and shot and killed the old man.
Hook up with little white faces
The funny thing is that when the huge tiger is deliberately pestering Xiao Lanfang, in the backyard of his Overseer's Mansion, the spring color is boundless, not only his favorite fourth aunt (played by Dina) is hooking up with the little white face, but the other aunts and wives are also entangled with their own good looks, and they are all different, and they don't even shy away from each other. The ethos of the home is very Open.
The garden is full of spring colors
The ethos of Open has a lot to do with the family of the giant tiger.
In the movie, the giant tiger also said that he was a native of Ye County, Shandong, originally surnamed Han, called Han Dahu, there was a famine in one year, the family had no food to eat, her mother "jumped to work", and found a man, so he followed his father's surname Pang. Interestingly, his two fathers are still very harmonious together.
The adjutant reminded him that he had admitted in public that he had two fathers, and the influence was not good, and the huge tiger did not think so, saying: Without a father, I can't give birth, I can't live without a stepfather, I can't support myself, I am righteous, I am afraid of something.
This paragraph is based on the story of Zhang Zongchang.
Two dads
Zhang Zongchang, a native of Ye County, Shandong, his father, Zhang Wenfu, is a village drummer and his mother, Hou Shi, is a witch doctor who jumps the god.
One year of famine, Hou went out begging and starved, was saved by a man surnamed Jia, the two partnered to live a life, Zhang Wenfu later married a widow as a wife. So Zhang Zongchang has two fathers and two mothers.
In the movie, the dry father of the giant tiger used to be a rat, and at the birthday feast, he was dissatisfied with the performance level of the screamer, and he freedyle a period of cheering. This stem also originated from Zhang Zongchang's old father.
Oh Daddy
There is also a laughing point in this scene: the Japanese came to the birthday feast and asked how the dog named Mt. Fuji that was given to the giant tiger before was how it was, and Han Dahu smacked his mouth and said: Very fat, I didn't think that white dogs were better than black dogs. The Japanese looked confused.
"Mt. Fuji" is fat
This stem is said to originate from the Guangxi warlord Lu Rongting. (No provenance found)
The French heard that Lu Rongting liked dogs, gave him a valuable hound, asked him a few days later, the dog is okay, Lu Rongting replied: Good is good, that is, the skin is a little thick!

The fourth act is the theft of The Tanglin Tombs.
At the front, the troops of the Giant Tiger are storming Beijing, and in the rear, the Giant Tiger is gambling with Zhang Dashuai in the northeast.
The giant tiger lost all the military salaries, so he took Beijing as a bet, and the bet was: If he loses, withdraw his troops from Tanglin and never enter Beijing, and if Lao Zhang loses, withdraw to Fengtian and never enter the pass.
Huge Tiger and Zhang Dashuai gambled
As a result, the giant tiger still lost, and seeing that Beijing was about to win, it had to give up, and the soldiers withdrew in ashes, so many people were bleeding and killed, and they could not reach the ten points on the card table (the smallest point in the ninth row).
The army had no money to pay, and many soldiers deserted. In order to make money, the chief of staff came up with an idea - to rob the tomb.
As a result, the huge tiger's troops stole the Cixi mausoleum in Putuoyu.
There are two bright spots in this scene, one is the monologue at the beginning: The purpose of the warlords fighting is to fight for territory, the purpose of fighting for territory, the purpose of plundering the people's wealth, the purpose of plundering the people's wealth, the purpose of expanding the army, the purpose of expanding the army, fighting for the territory, scraping the people's wealth again, and expanding the army again.
Warlord melee
This creates a vicious circle, and over time, the economic resources in the territory are exhausted, and the warlord is finished.
In the real warlord melee, why can Yan Xishan, Feng Zhang, and Guangdong survive to the end?
One important reason is that they are not simply looting, but by formulating long-term economic policies, developing production, and building a healthy economic structure, forming a virtuous circle.
Another bright spot is that in the tomb of Cixi, two officers talked about cross-talk before opening the coffin, two living treasures, one teasing, one holding, saying that the tomb robbery was so fresh and vulgar that people laughed so much that people's stomachs hurt.
Report to Cixi Coffin: We also want to stain your light
This scene is obviously taken from the story of Sun Dianying.
As for the inspiration for determining the outcome of the war at the table, it comes from the legend of the Sichuan warlord melee.
According to Zhang Renmin's "Memories of Instigating the Two Provinces of Sichuan and Qianqian to Participate in the Northern Expedition", as well as some other memoirs, when some small warlords in Sichuan were fighting, the officers of the two sides could play cards together, and the lower-ranking officers of the two sides went to the card table to report on the war situation, and after playing the cards, they would be separated like friends.
Even if you lose the war, you don't have to worry about retaliation, because the victor will bring gifts and money to comfort the loser.
Of course, this is only the case in some parts of Sichuan, and it is not the norm of warlord melee.

05
Shelling the Dragon King, trial case, birthday celebration, and tomb robbery are the main parts of the movie.
The rest of the plot, the pace is relatively fast, the story is also more scattered.
Among them, the giant tiger wears a variety of dragon robes to play Cosplay, dreams of ascending the throne as an emperor, and the fourth aunt who breaks the nine dragon white jade bowl and falsely claims to see a golden dragon lying on the bed to please the giant tiger. It is obviously taken from Yuan Shikai's restoration of the imperial system.
Lying is a golden dragon
The subsequent divorce case was the same as the previous rape case, and I personally felt that this was a forced injection of water for the sake of time, and it was better to find a separate paragraph to add.
Later, the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Shandong, and the huge tiger was forced into the wilderness.
In order to prevent The reunification of China, the Japanese supported the comeback of the giant tiger. Therefore, the giant tiger took dozens of his wives to Japan on the "Osaka Maru" steamship, and was welcomed by the highest standards.
Huge tiger visits Japan
The Japanese promised to lend him 5 million yuan, 500,000 rifles, 1,000 small guns, 5,000 machine guns, along with ammunition, all of which were transported into Jinan with small ships.
Giant Tiger spoke in Japan, saying: "This is the week that the world has changed me.
"It was a week that changed the world," was used by the media at the time to describe Nixon's visit to China (the same year as the film's release), which the director cleverly embedded.
Beauty translation
After returning to Jinan, the giant tiger secretly gathered the old department under the cover of the deceased mother's life, prepared to start an uprising, and made a comeback.
His slogan was: If reunification is indefinite, the country will never have a peaceful day; if the obstacle does not go, reunification will never be indefinite.
This slogan comes from a telegram sent by Zhang Zuolin to Cao Kun before the First Zhifeng War.
The wild hope of a giant tiger
The original text is: If reunification is indefinite, then the country will never have a peaceful day, and if the obstacles do not go, then reunification will eventually be indefinite. It is to lead the master and apprentice with a simple lead, enter the customs and garrison, and expect to use force as the back of unification.
The current overseer of Shandong (I don't know who it is) sent a company of pistols to protect the giant tiger, in fact to spy on him.
However, on the dark life, the giant tiger was still assassinated, and it was Xiao Lanfang who assassinated him, which was both to avenge his father and to eliminate adultery for the country.
The giant tiger was assassinated
Historically, after the Zhilu coalition army was destroyed, Zhang Zongchang went into exile in Japan, and after the September 18 Incident, he wanted to return to Shandong to gather the old troops and make a comeback in the name of anti-Japanese resistance. Han Fuyu was very worried about this, after all, Zhang Zongchang was an ex and posed a certain threat to himself.
Feng Yuxiang also wanted to kill Zhang Zongchang because of various wishes, so the two joined forces to dig a pit and designed to assassinate Zhang Zongchang at Jinan Station, packaging the political assassination as revenge for his father.
In the movie, the giant tiger returns, and the current overseer of Shandong sends a pistol team to monitor him, which is also a common sentiment, but it does not explain the reason.
As for the plot of the giant tiger's final assassination, it is more like it is based on Shi Jianqiao's assassination of Sun Chuanfang.
Shi Jianqiao
Sun Chuanfang killed Zhang Zongchang's general Shi Congbin, and Zhang Zongchang killed Feng Yuxiang's subordinate Zheng Jinsheng, resulting in one being assassinated by the other party's daughter and the other's son (packaged).
Putting these two things together, there is no sense of contradiction.
At the end of the movie, in front of the huge tiger statue, his sons are all illuminated, not only white, but also a child suspected of Beingan.
Sons of the giant tiger
The giant tiger has three unknowns in his life: he does not know how much he has savings, he does not know how many troops he has, and he does not know how many wives he has.
In fact, he still has two unknowns: he does not know how many sons there are, and he does not know how many fathers his sons have.
