In 1993, the film "The Wind of the Four Kings of Huang Feihong", jointly produced by Beijing Film Studio and Hong Kong Jiahe Pictures, was released. Because the first three Zhuyu starring Jet Li were first, the Huang Feihong series starring Zhao Wenzhuo was rarely mentioned. A few days ago, CCTV six sets replayed this movie, and watched it again after many years, and the biggest feeling is that this film is seriously underestimated.
The film "The Wind of the Four Kings of Huang Feihong" is not inferior to the first three from the intention to the martial arts, especially the patriotic feelings that the film focuses on rendering are incomparable to the first three.
The young Zhao Wenzhuo replaced Li Lian as Huang Feihong, full of youth, and the jokes between him and his apprentices were not like masters and apprentices, but more like brothers, so that this overall tragic film has some comedic bridges, not too depressing style, but more ornamental.
The movie "The Wind of the King" is immediately followed by "Huang Feihong's Three Lion King Battle", which is a struggle between the martial arts factions, and "The Wind of the King" raises the "Lion King Assembly" to the national level, and in this regard, the pattern of "The King's Wind" is higher than that of "Lion King Battle". But there is a regret in the movie, Huang Feihong single-handedly challenged the Eight National Lions, and finally won the crown, the ending is a bit unbelievable, somewhat A Q's obscenity, if you can unite the martial arts factions, qi jianghu force to fight together, so that the rationality of the victory will be much stronger, but also more reflect the purpose of the king.
Mr. Jin Yong has a famous saying: The great hero is for the country and the people, and from this point of view, "The Wind of the King" is in line with the definition of "great", and the ideological realm is no longer a narrow martial arts jianghu. Let's start with the content of the film.
After Huang Feihong won the gold medal of the "Lion King Conference", the reputation of the Guangdong Guild Hall in Beijing was greatly enhanced, and all the martial artists came to congratulate him. The deputy governor of the Eight Banners General's Office, Gua Echeng, personally came to the door to return the gold medal, and brought a surprising news, the foreigners formed the Eight Kingdoms Lion Team to destroy the will of the People, challenged the Qing court, for the dignity of the nation, Huang Feihong decided to go to the country with the Eight Banners Army. From this point of view, Huang Feihong and the Eight Kingdoms Lion Race should be on May 28, 1900 AD, of course, the film is purely fictional.
Liang Kuan, who has never stopped, has run into trouble again, Huang Feihong wants to "kick him back to Foshan", how can Liang Kuan miss the big battle with the Eight National Lions, and the ghost foot seven, Xiao Sliptou asked for help from the thirteenth aunt's sister Fourteenth Aunt, the fourteenth aunt set up a newspaper in Beijing, wanted to open the people's wisdom through the newspaper, Huang Feihong and the fourteenth aunt finally realized in the process of promoting the newspaper, in order to open the people's wisdom, we must first start with the establishment of education. The connotation of this bridge section is far-reaching, and it can't help but remind people of Mr. Lu Xun's "blood-stained steamed buns".
This is not a bridge section that is hard to insert in order to elevate, the ignorance and numbness of the Chinese people continue to be reflected in the red light illuminated by a group of immortals, they ignorantly believe that the annihilation of the ocean can revitalize the Great Qing, blindly apply swords to the foreigners regardless of good and evil, Huang Feihong came forward to stop it, on the Boxer Rebellion and the red light in recent years, there have been objective evaluations, here is not much to say, the film can be broadcast on CCTV, which has shown the attitude of the mainstream media.
Red Lantern Illumination kidnapped Huang Feihong's family apprentice as a threat, after Huang Feihong rescued his family, he missed the time to play with the Eight Lions, and Gua'e Chengdu fought alone, spilling blood on the field. The film focuses on highlighting the tragic color of the death of Gua'e Chengdu, which is a backward tragedy, and also points to the tragedy of the red light, that is, the infighting among the Chinese people.
Huang Feihong's worship of Gua Echeng is the most tragic part of the film, and it is also a climax of the film. In the sad "General's Order", Huang Feihong took a filial blue and white lion on his knees to the front of the spiritual hall in Gua'e Chengdu, and the lion's eyes seemed to be full of sorrow and indignation, Huang Feihong tore off a section of his clothes and wrote a blood letter to challenge the Eight National Lions.
This scene, the screen up and down, the audience is even more enthusiastic, this is the highlight of the film, can be called the most classic scene of the Huang Feihong series.
"Huang Feihong's Four Kings' Wind" perfectly combines personal heroism and patriotism, and mao Maotou, a veteran "Huang Feihong film fan", praises "The Wind of the King", and several replays of six sets of CCTV also prove that this film is by no means a dog-tailed sable work.
