But when it comes to martial arts movies, they often talk about Huang Feihong; when it comes to Huang Feihong, they have to say Jet Li; many people have always thought, "Huang Feihong, I only recognize Jet Li!" ”。 Jet Li's role as Huang Feihong is definitely the most classic, and the five Wong Feihong movies he starred in, which is the best and most profound? That must be "Huang Feihong's Second Boy When Self-Reliance"! Released in Hong Kong, China on 16 April 1992, Wong Fei Hung No.2 Boy Be self-reliant was released in Hong Kong, China, with a box office of HK$30.4 million and won the Best Action Direction Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards the following year, with Donnie Yen nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Xiong Xinxin nominated for Best Newcomer.
Jet Li starred in five Huang Feihong films, namely "Huang Feihong's Heroic Ambition", "Huang Feihong's Second Boy Should Be Self-Reliant", "Huang Feihong's Three Lions Fighting King", "Huang Feihong's Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede", and "Huang Feihong's Western Lion"; the director of the first three films is Xu Ke, and the directors of the last two are Wang Jing and Hong Jinbao. These five Huang Feihong, the martial arts instructions that play a decisive role in visual effects are different in each one, the first is Yuan Xiangren, Yuan Xinyi, and Liu Jiarong; the second part is replaced by Yuan Heping, the third part is Yuan Bin, the fourth part is Yuan Jiaban, and the fifth part becomes Hong Jinbao. [The first part of Jet Li was injured, and the last big battle was filmed by Xiong Xinxin in double; the third part and the ghost foot seven tried a few tricks, and then fought in the Three Laughing House, the big battle was mainly a lion dance; the fourth and fifth parts were not authentic enough, and the second part was always the most exciting and lively play.] 】
Why is "Huang Feihong's Second Boy Self-Improvement" the best of the five Jet Li Huang Films?
The first is the main creative lineup and martial arts effect.
In the first part, Xu Ke originally wanted to ask Huang Feihong's disciple Liu Jialiang to do martial arts instruction, and as a result, the road was not right, and Xu Ke did not want to do the sky, so he changed people one after another, and finally signed yuan Xiangren, Yuan Xinyi and Liu Jiarong, in fact, Yuan Heping also helped out of the horse, and finally Yuan Heping won Xu Ke's heart the most, so the second part looked for Yuan Heping. Yuan Heping joined and also brought his most proud apprentice Zhen Zidan; Zhen Zidan and Jet Li were in the same year, and the strength was obvious to everyone, but at that time it was not red, and he could only play the big villain Nalan Yuanshu in the film, but this big villain was definitely comparable to Cao Gonggong in "New Dragon Gate Inn".
In "Huang Feihong's Second Boy Should Be Self-Reliant", Zhen Zidan and Jet Li fought each other twice, once in the Yamen practice field; Zhen Zidan deliberately tried Huang Feihong's martial arts, aggressively recruited fierce, Huang Feihong had something to ask for, could not win and could not lose, so everywhere he stayed hard but defended tightly and did not lose; the last stick was on the wooden stake, which was broken but did not explode, which gave Nalan Yuanshu face and showed strength. The second narrow alley fight was a life-and-death fight, Huang Feihong wanted to protect the roster of the revolutionary party, Nalan Yuanshu wanted to grab the roster, and at the same time Huang Feihong told Nalan Yuanshu that he saw Naran Yuanshu kill the British ambassador, and everyone had no way to retreat, and only the brave could be left when they met on the narrow road. Zhen Zidan's fists and feet are good, but the equipment, especially the stick, cannot be compared with the all-round martial arts champion Jet Li, but in such a space, the conventional stick technique cannot be unfolded, all relying on cleverness. In this narrow alley war, the two sides are still compared with sticks; Huang Feihong uses bamboo as a stick, Nalan Yuanshu Yubu into a stick, long or short are powerful; the performance of martial arts and the application of space have reached the peak level of actors and directors, and they are immortal classics in film history. [These two big battles have won jet Li's five Huang Feihong]
Thirteen aunt Guan Zhilin is still as beautiful and generous as ever, affectionate and kind, Mo Shaocong replaced Yuan Biao as Liang Kuan, although he could not play but balanced the tension of the whole film with humor and funny; Xiong Xinxin, who played Jet Li's stand-in in the previous film, went to the screen to play the Nine Palaces of the White Lotus Sect, and finally he could fight with Jet Li happily, because of his outstanding performance, he got the role of Ghost Foot Seven in the third part that made him proud for a lifetime. The martial arts film male protagonist of the Shaw period, Jiang David, played the weak revolutionary Lu Haodong, and Zhang Tielin played Sun Wen, and their appearances gave Huang Feihong's film a deeper significance of the times, reflecting the director Xu Ke's big vision and big mind, implying that Xu Ke borrowed the meaning of ancient irony and the present.
To say the profound connotation and era significance of "Huang Feihong's Second Boy Should Be Self-Reliant", it depends on the plot outside of martial arts.
Huang Feihong really has his own person, but the Huang Feihong in the movie is not the same as the real Huang Feihong, especially the era he spans in several of Xu Ke's films is too long. The previous Huang Feihong was still in Foshan, and this time he came to the provincial city of Guangzhou for a medical conference. Huang Feihong Liang Kuan and the thirteen aunts and three people in the group experienced the first time to take the train, the first time to eat Western food on the train, the train into the tunnel also thought that it was the tengu eating the moon; the backward ignorance and ignorance of the Chinese were exposed; the thirteen aunts who returned from staying in the west, fluent in English and dress, showed the superiority of the world everywhere. After getting off the bus, the situation was different, the thirteenth aunt was fascinated by the incense of the White Lotus Sect, and the experience of the jianghu with Chinese characteristics was still very useful. 【It is very important for foreign use】
When they arrived in Guangzhou, when the White Lotus Sect was rampant, they spent all day setting up altars on the street and collecting a lot of money for incense oil; on the one hand, some progressive students held up signs "Oppose the Maguan Treaty, Oppose the Cession of Taiwan" and marched in the streets, and some people in the tea house on the side were talking about "Where is Taiwan?" It doesn't matter where he is, it's none of our business anyway! He also commented on the thirteen aunts wearing western clothes, while some people sold word flowers to Huang Feihong, who was sitting on a rickshaw.
The inn where Huang Feihong and his party lived, just entered the room, the boss took a set of Tang costumes to give to Huang Feihong, to change the thirteen aunts, not his kindness, he was afraid of things, because the White Lotus Sect that ran rampant in the provincial city burned foreign character pieces everywhere, and he had to buy the White Lotus Sect's peace charms every day to keep the peace. After that, the thirteenth aunt took the students of the same library back, and the boss was so frightened that he knelt down and begged Huang Feihong, and pretended to be dizzy before he could invite Huang Feihong and the others away. The boss is played by He Jiaju, one of the four evil people in Hong Kong, who is afraid of things in this era, and you can imagine how hot China was at that time.
A blind man pulled the erhu and sang "You see the heavy twilight, the west wind is tight...", the gambling tea drinking tea is visiting the kiln to ask for food, the White Lotus Sect is setting fire to someone playing a villain on the side of the road, someone is buying word flowers, someone is lying on the bed smoking opium. On the other side, a foreign embassy is pulling Mozart, leisurely drinking red wine at a dance party. When the embassy was attacked by the White Lotus Sect, the scene needed doctors to treat, Huang Feihong stepped forward, but people stressed that they did not want Chinese medicine, and finally with the help of Sun Wen, Huang Feihong showed the magic of Chinese medicine. This is the true portrayal of China more than a hundred years ago.
The most shocking thing was that Huang Feihong broke into the white lotus sect's main altar alone, destroyed the master father behind the scene, the Nine Palaces, on the spot, and also punched out the steel plate he hid on his body, exposing his trick of not entering the sword and gun. Those loyal White Lotus Cultivators fearlessly rushed towards Huang Feihong and Lu Haodong's foreign guns, relying on the ghost words of "Divine Gong Protective Body"; when they found out that the so-called Divine Skills were all fake, they all cried and fell to the ground, unable to accept this reality, "How can this be?" ”。 As an ideologically progressive revolutionary party, Lu Haodong helplessly voiced desperately, "If every Chinese is like them, China is not saved, where will it go?" Can't go! ”。 At this time, huang Feihong, the hero of the times, stood up and woke up the ignorant people of the country, sometimes the big truth does not make sense, and the method of using the jianghu is more effective, that is, to fight. Huang Feihong pretended to ask Emperor Zhenwu to get on his upper body, forced the Nine Palaces to appear, and then defeated him in front of everyone, the Divine Gong Protective Body was fake, and the fist was hard. 【When the country is in trouble, boys should be self-reliant】
As a new martial arts movie, "Huang Feihong's Second Boy When Self-Improvement" is very successful; the last episode Jet Li was injured, this time it was good, and Zhen Zidan fought from beginning to end, and several battles with the White Lotus Sect were very exciting, grandmaster level. At the same time, it is a feature film with profound significance of the times, and the portrayal of Huang Feihong is a real Chinese good boy who not only has special skills but also bears the heart of the country and the world, which is completely different from the martial artists who have fought and won in the past. Later, in "Huang Feihong's Lion of the Western Regions", the Chinese in the United States still regarded Huang Feihong as the example and hope of Chinese, and did not even dare to gamble in front of him.
The best Huang Feihong is Jet Li, and Jet Li's best Huang Feihong movie is "Huang Feihong's Second Boy Should Be Self-Reliant".
