Text/Ye Qiuchen
I have had a martial arts dream since I was a child.
Like many of his peers, Ye Qiuchen grew up reading novels by Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng, with shelves of various martial arts novels and television dramas adapted from the original books. Some people say that the current martial arts film and television dramas have begun to decline, and the good ones are in the past.
In the past, when computer Internet viewing video was not yet popular, most of the cases were regular squatting in front of the TV, waiting for the movie channel and the channel of eight episodes a day, and stepping into a windy and rainy and dashing river on time.
At that time, liutai always liked to play the "Lu Xiaofeng" series starring Zhang Zhilin back and forth, and various satellite TVs were constantly updating different versions of "Flying Snow Shoots White Deer in the Sky, Laughing Book God Hero Leans on Bi Duck". Ye Qiuchen recalled that there were many white-haired witches, both Zhang Guorong and Lin Qingxia's version, as well as Zhang Zhilin and Jiang Qinqin's version, but there was always no Ma Su's version. Because in my heart, Lin Qingxia and Jiang Qinqin's version has occupied all of it.
In addition to Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng, occasionally on TV will also release Wen Rui'an's "Four Famous Catches" series, each version of the cold-blooded ruthless brush many times, the unchanged is the name of the male protagonists, the change is the girls around them, can never put the real feelings on the number. Sometimes, watching this version of ruthlessness like a girl who is not in another version, there will be some dark loss in my heart.
At that time, the stories of these characters had been deeply imprinted into my childhood.
Ye Qiuchen wanted to recall the martial arts film and television dramas he had chased in his childhood, and recommended the top five classic works in his mind to everyone, in no particular order.
Although the years pass, the classics never fade. Although the picture and special effects are not as good as today, the plot of the true feeling can still be brushed countless times. I never think that old films are not as good as new films, looking at the current film and television works, how many can be compared with the past?
1. East Evil West Poison (Movie)
Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison" is one of the most classic works that Ye Qiuchen has felt so far in martial arts films, because I feel what is the real "jianghu".
The jianghu is Zhang Guorong's gaze, Lin Qingxia's look back, and Liang Chaowei's deep eyes.
There is a faint taste of sadness in this jianghu, but it is not at all pretentious.
Today's film and television dramas always emphasize "big coffee gathering", but after watching "East Evil and West Poison", you will understand what is the real "immortal combination".
Zhang Guorong, Lin Qingxia, Liang Chaowei, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui... When I wrote it, I was most troubled by how to rank these big guys, because each of them had a few streets of acting skills that hung some of the current "actors".
2. Wong Fei Hung (film series)
Jet Li is the first impression of Huang Feihong in my heart, because of the classic posture in the movie, now many people say that they understand "chinese kungfu", they will always gently clasp their hands together, and then hold their arms forward and backward, one high and one low.
Jet Li's Huang Feihong series is really the most positive martial arts film I have seen since I was a child. The bad guys inside will always be knocked down by the good guys, and at that time, I didn't feel very cheesy and routine, but thought that this was the right way to open.
Compared with the current various special effects "martial arts", Jet Li's performance is really wonderful.
3. Lu Xiaofeng (film series)
Lu Xiaofeng, who has four eyebrows, is starring Zhang Zhilin in the movie. At that time, I really liked his characteristics of being a child, but always smart, always able to turn the tide and reverse the plot at key moments.
Whether it is the legendary "Lu Xiaofeng Prequel" or "Legend of the Iron Shoe" or "The King of the Golden Peng", I have watched it no less than 10 times just by following the TV.
This martial arts film is also a more relaxed style, not too heavy as "East Evil and West Poison", nor will it always show decency like "Huang Feihong". On the contrary, Lu Xiaofeng sometimes takes the sword to the side, adapts to changes, and occasionally walks the side door.
In addition, speaking of the Lu Xiaofeng series, I have the impression that Lin Zhiying has a version of the TV series "Before and After the Decisive Battle of the Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is also very good.
4. Condor Heroes (TV series)
The 1995 version is my personal favorite of all Jin Yong film and television dramas.
There are many people who say that they like Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei's aunt and son, but I am still more inclined to the combination of Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong.
Whether it is preconceived or sentimental and nostalgic, when the name Yang Guo flashed in my heart, the first act was definitely Gu Tianle, who had not yet tanned. In fact, the conditions of the shooting at that time were quite rough, and the background and props could not help but be scrutinized, but the actors surprised the audience with their superb performances, so that we completely ignored those external factors.
I think this is the real charm of acting.
5. Tianlong Babu (TV series)
It is still recommended that Huang Rihua, Fan Shaohuang and Chen Haomin perform the Hong Kong version.
It may be that when I was a child, the earliest contact was the Hong Kong version, and the impression of each character is firmly engraved in the heart and difficult to erase, so many of Jin Yong's works Ye Qiuchen recommend the Hong Kong version the most.
In this version, the most impressive thing is the curtain call of Xiao Feng and Ah Zi.
Although Chen Hao is very beautiful and Hu Jun is also very vicissitudes, all my tears are left to Liu Yucui's brother-in-law named Huang Rihua.
I don't know how long this sentiment lasted, but to this day when I see this version of the actors reunited on a show, I still have tears in my eyes.
In addition, there are many, many recommended film and television dramas, such as Zhang Zhilin and Zhu Yin's "Legend of the Eagle Shooting Hero" (suddenly found that many of the dramas I like are starring Zhang Zhilin hahaha), Wu Qihua and Li Zi's "Leaning Heaven Sword Slaying Dragon Knife", as well as Wu Qilong and Zhu Yin's "Xiao Shiyilang" and so on, etc., really too much. But this time I had no choice but to choose five (in fact, I had a small selfish heart, because I also chose a series of movies), so this time I can only taste it and talk about these five first. If you have a chance, write it later.
Everyone has their own martial arts jianghu in their hearts, and everyone has a role in this jianghu in their hearts.
The jianghu people once laughed at the jianghu, but the jianghu people did not return to the jianghu.
