Gold inlaid jade phoenix for phoenix, the most difficult to match in the world into a pair The world's confidants are you and me, and I only hate that time is too hurried "The Joy of the World"
There was no concept of IP in ancient times, so many classic themes have been remade into film and television works many times.
The most famous example is "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", most viewers may only know the 1993 Zhou Xingchi version of "Tang Bo Hu Dian Qiu Xiang"; in fact, "Tang Bo Hu Dian Qiu Xiang" is a folk story, as early as 1940, there was "Tang Bo Hu Dian Qiu Xiang" theme movie "Three Laughs" came out.
Later, Guo Degang also made a film "Three Laughing Talents", and the theme of "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang" has been put on the screen more than 10 times.
There is also a classic folk tale theme "Dragon Play Phoenix", which is not as famous as "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", but it has also been adapted into film and television works many times, which also has a long vitality.
"Playing the Dragon and playing the phoenix" tells the story of Zhu Hou, the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who took a picture of Jiangnan.
In the main history, the Zhengde Emperor was a drunken dimwitted monarch, and "Dragon Play Phoenix" is a light-hearted romance comedy, which is a kind of glorification of him.
In the story, the Zhengde Emperor Weifu paid a private visit to Xia Jiangnan, came to Meilong Town, and met li Fengjie, who was beautiful in longfeng shop; he immediately used the excuse to flirt, and finally revealed his identity, and named Li Fengjie as a concubine, called you dragon play phoenix.
"Dragon Play Phoenix" was finally adapted into a Peking Opera repertoire, the traditional repertoire of Mei Pai and Ma Pai, which is a classic that the famous Peking Opera master Mr. Mei Lanfang and the female elderLysheng Maritime Winter Emperor Meng Xiaodong have performed together. [In Yue opera and Yu opera, the story of "Dragon Play Phoenix" is called "Meilong Town". 】
In 1976, Liu Changyu and Zhang Xuejin of the Peking Opera House of China collaborated to make a Peking Opera film directed by Chen Kaige's father, Chen Huaigao.
In fact, the earliest film on the theme of "Dragon Play Phoenix" was the Huangmei tune film "Beauty in Jiangshan" directed by Li Hanxiang in 1959.
At that time, it was the period of the strong rise of Hong Kong Shaw films, and the big director Li Hanxiang was the main force of Shaw's rise, and he helped Shaw establish a leading position in the box office, which was a series of Huangmei tone films.
This "Beauty of Jiangshan" is the representative work of Huangmei tone films, and it is also Li Hanxiang's most successful Huangmei tone films.
"Jiangshan Beauty" starred lin dai at the two-time Asia-Pacific Film Festival, playing the heroine Li Feng, who was almost crowned for the third time; the Zhengde Emperor was played by Zhao Lei, who later climbed to the peak of his career with this film, won the reputation of the emperor Xiaosheng, and was the emperor of that era.
Hu Jinquan, a famous martial arts film director, also played an important role in "Jiangshan Beauty".
In 1977, Shaw's boss Shaw ran-f became the tvb, in the "Folk Legends" series of TV series, launched a 5-episode "Jiangshan Beauty", directed by Lin Lingdong, Zheng Shaoqiu and Li Linlin (the wife of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival film emperor Jiang David) as the Zhengde Emperor and Li Fengjie respectively.
In addition, Taiwan Province also filmed a hilarious Hokkien version of "Jiangshan Beauty" in 1987.
[In 2008, the ancient war movie "Jiangshan Beauty" starring Zhen Zidan had nothing to do with "Dragon Play Phoenix". 】
In 1985, TVB produced a 5-episode costume comedy "Dragon Play Phoenix"; it was supervised by Li Tiansheng and starred Liao Weixiong, Ren Dahua, Zhou Xiulan, Wu Mengda and so on. Liao Weixiong played Emperor Zhu Jun, Ren Dahua played his friend Wang Tiansheng, and Zhou Xiulan played Liu Feng'e.
The character names and storyline have changed, but they are still the core of "Dragon Play Phoenix".
In addition, in 1957, Yan Jun's film "Dragon Play Phoenix"; in 1968, Tang Huang's film "Dragon Play Phoenix"; in 2009, Andy Lau starred in the movie "Dragon Play Phoenix"; both modern love stories, and the traditional "Dragon Play Phoenix" are completely unrelated.
In 2002, Liu Zhenwei directed a spoof comedy film "Peerless in the World", which is also the core of the story of "Dragon Play Phoenix", but the adaptation is very large.
"Peerless in the World" is produced by Wong Kar-wai and written by Liu Zhenwei, so it is very nonsensical, and there are also many spoofs, and there are many classic films of Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei, as well as elements of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, such as "Journey to the West", "East Into the West", "East Evil and West Poison", etc., the connotation is quite rich.
Zhang Zhen plays the Zhengde Emperor and Xiao Yanzi plays Ah Feng, but they are not the main line of the story.
Liang Chaowei plays Ah Feng's twin brother Ah Long, and Wang Fei plays the emperor's sister Chang Princess, who is the real male and female number one.
The first to go down to Jiangnan was the eldest princess, who met Ah Long; then the Zhengde Emperor, and the hero saved Ah Feng.
In addition, there are also Tranquility, Zhu Yin, Pan Dihua, Zhang Yaoyang, Ge Minhui and Liu Zhenwei, etc., and the cast is very luxurious.
And because it is a New Year film, the opening is a festive Huangmei mixing music; the two pairs of brothers and sisters in the story finally become relatives of each other, and the comedy atmosphere is very good.
[The theme song of HuangMei's tune "The Joy of Matchlessness in the World" sung by Faye Wong and Liang Chaowei also added a lot of color to this film. 】
In 2010, Zhong Shujia directed a nonsense comedy film called "Dragon Phoenix Shop", which is also the story of "Dragon Play Phoenix".
Ren Xianqi plays the Zhengde Emperor, Xu Xiyuan plays Li Fengjie, the owner of the Dragon Feng Shop; Luo Jiaying and Liang Xiaolong play the two protectors of the emperor's side, one article and one martial arts, and Xia Jiangnan is actually a big plan to capture the old, dealing with the big villain Ning Wang in "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", and the dragon play Phoenix is an unexpected gain.
Previously, Ren Xianqi also starred in Li Li's version of "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang 2", so Huang Xiaoming, Chen Baixiang and other "Tang Bohu" teams in the film also made collective cameos.
In addition, Pan Changjiang, Liu Yajin, Huo Siyan, Gong Xinliang, and Many other gold medal green leaves in Zhou Xingchi's films such as Wu Ma, Lin Wei, Zhao Zhiling, Lu Huiguang, etc., were quite lively.
However, the quality of "Dragon Phoenix Shop" is much worse than that of "Peerless in the World". Moreover, because it was produced by Xiang Huasheng, the appearance music of "God of Gamblers" was used, which was even more embarrassing.
Now that there have been more than 10 years of film and television works with the theme of "Dragon Play Phoenix", I believe that with the charm of the story of "Dragon Play Phoenix", there will soon be a new "Dragon Play Phoenix" film and television works, but I don't know how bold adaptations and interpretations will be made in the future.
