Today, let's talk about Cheng Xiaodong's director Xu Ke's "Undefeated In the East of the Smiling River".
The 1990s were a booming era for Hong Kong cinema, and many martial arts films were released during this period, many of which were from Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
One of them is played by Lin Qingxia as an insurmountable classic, which is "The East of the Proud River and Lake" directed by Cheng Xiaodong and supervised by Xu Ke.
The storyline of "Smiling Proud of the River" has ups and downs, and the 120-minute movie is difficult to fully present. Therefore, the film version of "Smiling Proud of the River" has made great changes to the original work.
In Jin Yong's words, "He didn't know martial arts at all, and he made my two works very unpredictable." ”
Among these two works is "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", so much so that Jin Yong told Xu Ke that friends can do it, but the copyright of the novel is not sold to you.
So what changes did Xu Ke make to "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" that made Jin Yong so angry?
A brief chat, no chat to the welcome message added.
The first is that the background of the story has been changed beyond recognition.
The original book does not have a clear dynasty, and the film version sets the time to the Ming Dynasty, and the Undefeated East colludes with the Wokou to plague the place, hoping to overthrow the ruler with the power of the Wokou and the power of the Sun Moon God Sect.
There is no background in the original book, so why add Japanese elements to the film?
It may be for the needs of martial arts, which can highlight that the undefeated martial arts in the East are not only higher than the Central Plains martial arts, but also higher than the Japanese samurai, and there is also a possibility that they want to enter the Japanese market.
However, I personally feel that this adaptation is not particularly perfect, because the removal of this element will not affect the entire storyline, but the martial arts drama is less of the fight of the Oriental samurai.
The second is that there is a male-female love between Dongfang Undefeated and Ling Hu chong.
In the original work, Dongfang Undefeated was attached to the male pet Yang Lianting, Ren Yingying held Yang Lianting hostage, and Dongfang Undefeated was distracted by saving Yang Lianting, and was hit in the back by Ling Huchong and Ren Yixing, and finally killed by Ren Ixing.
The movie version was changed to Dongfang Undefeated in the fight with Ling Huchong, but Ling Huchong did not give up, directly stabbing Dongfang Undefeated in the chest. In the end, the undefeated situation in the East was reversed, but the hatred was difficult to dissipate, and she wanted to make Fox Chong suffer the pain of losing her beloved, and wanted to knock Ren Yingying and Yue Lingshan off the cliff.
After Ling Hu Chong saved the two people, he went to save Dongfang Undefeated, and finally at the moment of life and death, Dongfang Undefeated understood Ling Hu Chong's intentions, and with his last strength, he pushed Ling Hu Chong back to the cliff and fell with a smile.
Although Jin Yong does not like Xu Ke's adaptation of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", it has to be said that the film version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" adapted by Xu Ke is a classic.
In the choice of actors, Cheng Xiaodong and Xu Ke have unique insights.
Jet Li as the emperor of kung fu, the choice in Ling Hu Chong is naturally the best choice, compared to the first Xu Guanjie played by Ling Hu Chong, obviously Jet Li is more heroic and compelling, and that simple stupidity is also in line with the original Jin Yong is also very satisfied with this.
And Guan Zhilin played Ren Yingying, Li Jiaxin played Yue Lingshan, and Yuan Jieying played Blue Phoenix, which can also be said to be very consistent, but in the undefeated casting of the East, Jin Yong and Xu Ke had differences.
The Oriental Undefeated itself is male, in order to practice the Sunflower Treasure Book and self-palace, in Jin Yong's view, the Oriental Undefeated is always male. And Cheng Xiaodong and Xu Ke are beyond everyone's imagination, choosing Lin Qingxia to play Dongfang Undefeated.
After Jin Yong learned of this news, he was particularly angry and specially called Xu Ke, believing that Lin Qingxia was not qualified for the role of Dongfang Undefeated.
It turns out that Jin Yong also has a time to look away, he thinks that Lin Qingxia is just a beautiful woman, but he did not expect that Lin Qingxia is a beautiful woman with her own heroism, and her masculine dress is more eye-catching.
In addition to the femininity of Lin Qingxia, there is also the heroism of the male body, and there is a kind of hermaphroditic beauty, which is very suitable for the aesthetic mood in martial arts.
This kind of dress makes people suddenly understand what is difficult to distinguish between male and female, and what is Mulan.
This film will be a major change in the original work, especially so that dongfang undefeated and Ling Huchong have feelings, and the heroine changed from Ren Yingying to dongfang undefeated, which has to be said to be a bold breakthrough, which is also the reason why Jin Yong is angry.
But I have to say that this change is more in line with the audience's psychological expectations. Especially after the Oriental undefeated played by Lin Qingxia came out, the audience was more looking forward to such an unknown and fresh emotion.
Whether people will highlight the physiological reasons and produce real emotions between people, Cheng Xiaodong and Xu Ke undoubtedly gave him the answer in this film. It's just that his Tanmei drama is not the Tanmei we see today, which is another sense of Tanmei, but it is not offensive.
Among them, Cheng Xiaodong and Xu Ke also added their own understanding of martial arts and jianghu.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and people are rivers and lakes, which is the core of martial arts.
Ling Hu Chong wants to quit the jianghu, but people are jianghu, so no one can quit.
Ren Yingying and Turbulent Undefeated are both members of the Sun Moon God Sect, and their own identity determines that they cannot quit the jianghu.
The Sunflower Treasure Book has changed the physiology of the Undefeated In the East, and it has also changed the psychology of doing whatever I want.
After Ren Yixing regained control of the Sun and Moon God Sect, he became another Eastern undefeated.
People are easily driven by power, and very few people can really control their hearts.
In addition to martial arts, this film also shows some things that are deep in human nature, and also reflects some practical significance.
For example, dongfang undefeated cooperated with the Wokou to rob the Ming Dynasty of arms, but it should be said that it was a grand cause for the Miao people not to be bullied. This also reflects that some people are hostile to me, aiding and abetting abuse, and lacking a sense of national and national identity.
The 1990s were the most glorious time for Hong Kong cinema, and the film "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" can be described as a classic that brings together many actors from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The other roles in the film have their own characteristics, Yu An'an (as Yang Shishi), Liu Xun (as Xiang Qingtian), Qian Jiale (as Ape Fei Riyue), Li Zixiong (as Hattori Qianjun), although the role is not much, but each character is impressive.
Compared with the shoddy production of some movies today, hong Kong movies of that year can be described as classics, and the oriental undefeated played by Lin Qingxia has become an insurmountable classic, interested friends can relive the only classic martial arts movie that Jet Li and Lin Qingxia cooperated.
Do you think that the East is undefeated in addition to Lin Qingxia, who else can control? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
