When we were teenagers, we longed for such a "jianghu", beautiful people's hearts, wine and happiness, chivalry and knife draw, liver and gallbladder looking;
When we were young, we looked for such a "jianghu", three or two friends, Dan cheng promised, ambitious, full of spirit;
In middle age, we read such a "jianghu", red face and white hair, brothers against the eyes, unpredictable people's hearts, youth is easy;
In the hearts of our generation, there is an ageless jianghu dream, that is, Jin Yong's "Legend of the Archery Hero", "Divine Eagle Hero", "Tianlong Eight Parts", Gu Long's "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Absolute Double Pride", "Chu Liuxiang Legend"...
The stirring text and classic images shape our first impression of martial arts. If you ask what are the most impressive martial arts TV series? Then people in the nineties must have the answer to "Lotus Battle".
When it comes to the most impressive characters, it is indispensable to the charming image of "Bai Yuchuan", which combines the handsomeness of men and the beauty of women.
"Lotus Battle" tells the story of the two largest forces in the jianghu, the Nangong family and the Flying Eagle Fort, which are growing and tense, and the protagonist killer Shen Chong defects to Nangong Jun, the leader of the Nangong family, and is involved in a series of jianghu disputes.
In the end, it was found that everything was Bai Yuchuan's plan, breaking the plot of Bai Yuchuan to practice "Lotus Divine Gong", subvert the Nangong family, and dominate the Nangong Butterfly, kill it, and return the Nangong Butterfly to the hidden rivers and lakes.
This drama is adapted from Gu Long's "Meteor Butterfly Sword", and also integrates some of the character settings in Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", with sharp martial arts action moves and just the right music soundtrack.
Coupled with the co-production of the Singapore Radio and Television Bureau and Shanxi Television Station, many photographs are filmed on the spot, which can be said to be the strengths of the eclectic family, and the mixture gives people the biggest surprise.
Bai Yuchuan was originally an orphan, and was later adopted by Nangong Jun as his righteous son, and with his talent and wisdom and supreme martial arts, he assisted Nangong Jun in handling the affairs of the Nangong family and became the second in command of the Nangong family.
In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Yuchuan Bai Gongzi, dressed in white, is personable; treats people and objects, is polite; martial arts moves are superior; and is in an important position, quite important.
He would persuade Nangong Jun for the importance of "guarding the base camp" when He did not take the Nangong Sword out to act because he disliked his son's reckless impulses.
When Nangong Di complained that her father didn't care about her mother, he would tell Nangong Di Nan Gong Jun to pay a lot for the family to ease their relationship.
Even if he is in a high position, he will remember drinking with his friends who are also orphans on the anniversary of the encounter; he has always had the habit of cooking by himself, just to remember that "this bowl of rice was rewarded by the old man for me."
He has the most glorious image of a jianghu disciple, but he is not a glorious and beautiful prince of the world, in fact, he is sensitive and suspicious, and has a rather deep calculation, which is difficult for people to see through.
For example, because the Nangong Old Master was hindered by the famous and upright style, he would clearly deal with the rapidly expanding Flying Eagle Fort, and he would privately buy and kill a hall owner of the Flying Eagle Fort as a warning.
He seemed to be grateful to Nangong Jun, cherished his friendship with Shen Chong, and even wanted to avenge the death of his subordinates who Nangong Jun had accepted, regardless of his injuries, but he also said personally:
"I have been an orphan since I was a child, I have long learned to be self-reliant, and I understand that everything must rely on myself, family, friendship, love, are not true to me, I only believe in rights in my life." 」
If he is sensitive and suspicious, unscrupulous and barely regarded as the protective color of the jianghu people caused by his growth experience, then his obsession with Nangong Butterfly has become the fuse for him to go to tragedy.
Bai Yuchuan, a person who does not believe in love, longs for Fluttershy's love, "Fluttershy, I have done so many things for the Nangong family over the years, all for you... I have sworn that I am willing to do anything for the Nangong family, as long as I can take care of you, I can stay with you."
But not all the efforts can be exchanged for sincerity, fluttershy rejects Bai Yuchuan's pursuit and circling between other men.
This is the beginning of Bai Yuchuan's alienation, he puts on a mask, but instead reveals his own unknown dark side - he kills all the men who are close to Fluttershy, Fluttershy sees one "likes" one, she "likes" one he kills one.
Bai Yuchuan's love to the extreme made Fluttershy even more tired of him, and she was eager to avoid it. So Bai Yuchuan eventually raped her, and if he didn't get her heart, he would get her people. This love cannot be reduced to desperate paranoia.
The external resistance is the huge pusher of Bai Yuchuan's alienation - Nangong Jun does not agree with him and Fluttershy, and even arranges for him to have affairs with other women.
Not only out of consideration for Fluttershy's wishes, but also worried that Bai Yuchuan completely suppressed his own son after marrying Fluttershy, even though he seemed to value Bai Yuchuan very much, Nangong Jun only regarded Bai Yuchuan as a tool to consolidate power, rather than "his own people".
Therefore, after Bai Yuchuan "smashed" Kong Lao Dao, he quickly snubbed Bai Yuchuan. Even the chamber containing the dossier about wealth was entrusted to Bai Yuchuan after the whereabouts of his own son Nangong Sword were unknown.
So Bai Yuchuan's pursuit of Fluttershy's path became the road to overthrow Nangong Jun's right to reach the top, he joined forces with the Golden Eagle of Flying Eagle Fort, carefully calculated, and woven a dense net, but he made a bad move and was beaten to the bottom of the cliff. This love cannot be transformed into an extreme desire for power.
At the bottom of the cliff, Bai Yuchuan accidentally obtained the Lotus Treasure Book, and did not hesitate to wield a sword from the palace in order to practice divine skills. A few years later, she transformed into Duan Susu and returned to carry out her revenge plan, fierce and scheming.
Despite this, even if she becomes a woman, she still wants to be with Nangong Butterfly. This physical and mental upheaval, which could not be produced by love, achieved her final alienation, and she became a slave to power, giving everything on the wrong path, and dying at the hands of the people she loved most.
When Bai Yuchuan was a man, he was handsome and unparalleled, which made many women fall in love; when he was a woman, he smiled and smiled, all of which were styles.
This is all thanks to the actress behind it, Talyntya, whose pursuit of details and love of acting have given Bai Yuchuan a vivid and vivid soul.
When playing a man, raise your hands and feet, look at the board and never show the slightest little daughter's attitude; when playing a woman, you can also play the psychological gap and hidden perversion of the role from male to female.
Let the audience not only produce a simple dislike of the villain, but show the complex image of the character to cause everyone to think:
Sighing for Bai Yuchuan's obsessive stranglehold on Fluttershy's body; rejecting Bai Yuchuan's helplessness for Fluttershy's "blindness"; lamenting for Bai Yuchuan's death at the hands of his lover; sighing for Bai Yuchuan's organs to calculate the inescapable death...
If Bai Yuchuan had blackened it simply for power, we would not have been so moved; but the most complicated mind was only for the simplest purpose, the word "love", and there were thousands of thoughts.
We project our own shadow on Bai Yuchuan, pinning down our inhuman emotions. Talyntonia, who has a good performance, did not get more help from the role of "White Jade River" from the actor's path.
She finally understood that because she was an immigrant, she could not be taken seriously by the Television Bureau of Singapore. She did not make a desperate bet like "Bai Yuchuan", she chose to quit her acting career, concentrate on enjoying family life happily, marry a rich businessman, and be a good wife and mother.
"Jianghu" still circulates the legend of the Yi people, and the Yi people have forgotten about the jianghu.
