There is a bookstore at the intersection of the elementary school, which is one of the fond memories of childhood. There are many popular books in the bookstore, and my favorite is still a variety of villain books. There are some series of stories, at that time did not want to buy a set directly, every time with the parents to ask for a few cents of pocket money to buy a copy, slowly save up. One of them was a set of "Jade Jiaolong", which I saved about three-quarters of the time, but I never bought it all.
I still remember the names of some chapters, such as "Dragon Flying Tiger Leap", "Luo Hu Breaks In", "Manslaughter Cai Jiu", "Dragon Diving Tiger Return" and so on.
"Jade Jiaolong" is adapted from the novel "The Legend of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (later renamed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") by the martial arts writer Wang Dulu of the Republic of China. Wang Dulu (1909–1977), Manchu, originally known as Wang Baoxiang (later renamed Baoxiang), was a Chinese poet whose pen name he used to write martial arts novels.
From 1938 to 1942, Wang Dulu composed the "Crane-Iron" five-part series: "Crane Shocking Kunlun", "Sword And Golden Noodle", "Sword Qi Pearl", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Iron Riding Silver Bottle". The story is continuous, such as the protagonist Li Mubai in "Sword And Golden Nobile" and "Sword Qi Pearl", the story continues to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the male protagonist of "Crane Shocking Kunlun" Jiangnan Crane is Li Mubai's shibo, "Iron Riding Silver Bottle" tells the story of Yujiaolong and Luo Xiaohu's son Han Tiefang and Yujiaolong's adopted daughter Chunxue Bottle.
Among them, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the most familiar to everyone and has been adapted into a film and television drama.
The novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" tells that during the Qing Dynasty, Yu Jiaolong, the daughter of the Nine Gate Governors, lived in Xinjiang with her father since childhood and fell in love with Luo Xiaohu, a great thief in the desert, but for the sake of family reputation, she had to marry Lu Hanlin, and Luo Xiaohu blocked the road and robbed her relatives and made a big fuss in the streets. Yu Jiaolong designed to escape from the Lu family, stole the Qing Hao Sword, and ran rampant in the rivers and lakes, although he was repeatedly punished by the great hero Li Mubai, he was as arrogant as ever, and turned the rivers and lakes upside down. After Yujiaolong Zhongji was trapped in the Lu family again, Luo Xiaohu kidnapped Lu Hanlin to help Yujiaolong regain his freedom, but the Yujia family was devastated. Yu Jiaolong pretended to go up the mountain to burn incense and make a wish, jumped off a cliff and fled to death, although he and Luo Xiaohu had a lifelong secret agreement, but because of the disparity in identity, they did not want to be a thief, so they quietly left and walked alone in the desert...
I vaguely felt that when I was a child, I watched a TV series version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and later found that Sichuan Television did make a TV series in the 1980s, which showed that the memory was not false, but I really couldn't remember it.
In 2000, Ang Lee directed the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which won four Oscars and was the first time that a Chinese film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Let this novel become famous all over the world.
The plot of the film and the novel is slightly different, cutting off many branches and compressing them more compactly.
The film tells the story of a generation of heroes Li Mubai (zhou Runfa) who has the intention of quitting the jianghu and entrusts his confidant Yu Xiulian (Yang Ziqiong) to bring his green sword to the capital as a gift for Grandpa Belle's collection. Unexpectedly, the Qing hao sword was stolen by Yu Jiaolong (Zhang Ziyi), the daughter of the Nine Gate Governor, for a moment, which set off an uproar in the jianghu.
Since childhood, Yu Jiaolong was secretly adopted as a disciple by the blue-eyed fox (Zheng Peipei), who was hidden in the Jade Mansion, and learned the superior martial arts of the Wudang Sect from the secret books. The blue-eyed fox was the enemy who killed Master Li Mubai. Yu Jiaolong once secretly had a lifelong love affair with Luo Xiaohu (Zhang Zhen), a great thief in Xinjiang, and now that she is in Beijing, her father wants her to marry, and Yu Jiaolong rushes out of the house on a whim.
The wayward and arrogant Yu Jiaolong acted arbitrarily in the rivers and lakes, Yu Xiulian and Li Mubai cherished her talents, and their painstaking guidance was always ineffective. In the final confrontation with the blue-eyed fox, Li Mubai died to save Yujiaolong's body from poisoning needles. Yu Jiaolong went to Wudang Mountain under Yu Xiulian's guidance, but after a night of entanglement with Luo Xiaohu, he threw himself into the battle.
It turned out that when I read the villain book, I liked the pair of Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu the most. Luo Xiaohu is a desert thief, and at first, in order to play an effect of deterring the enemy, he showed people with the shape of a bearded and fierce man, but he was actually a handsome teenager. He was framed in his family since he was a child, his parents died, and he was separated from his younger siblings. Although he and Yu Jiaolong are in love with each other, but the identities of the two are very different, Yu Jiaolong hopes that Luo Xiaohu will have a future in the army, so as to match himself, but it is always difficult to achieve his wishes, and finally choose to leave alone, which makes Luo Xiaohu remember and pursue for twenty years.
I think that Wang Dulu's own concept is still relatively orthodox, so the protagonist in the pen cannot get rid of the limitations of the door view, and a good couple is a living labor yan flying. In "Iron Riding Silver Bottle", Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong have never seen each other again after they have separated, and the two people have sacrificed themselves in order to protect their own son Han Tiefang, and the other has sacrificed themselves in order to protect their adopted daughter Chunxue Bottle, and they have poor parents in the world.
In the movie, there is not much ink on Luo Xiaohu's life and personality, Zhang Zhen interpreted him as a bit of exotic style, handsome or very handsome, but a bit of a tool man's feeling, can not feel what he thinks.
The image of Yu Jiaolong, played by Zhang Ziyi, is the most glorious and is a very vital character. Born into an official family, Yu Jiaolong is rebellious and arrogant, both right and evil, bright and proud, both shrewd and fierce and naïve and naïve, wanting to resist but being constrained everywhere, and in her own bones, it is always difficult to break free from the shackles of tradition, and she has been struggling on the gray edge...
The love between Yujiaolong and Luo Xiaohu is the passion between young girls, but it does not seem to be a complete match in the soul, and Luo Xiaohu, who stands next to Yujiaolong, I always feel that I don't know much about her.
On the contrary, Li Mubai, who was poisoned to death in order to save her, li Mubai, who paid attention to benevolence and morality, self-denial and self-repression, and always said that he would accept her as an apprentice to educate her, was more like her spiritual destination.
Some people say that Li Mubai is the "Tao" in the heart of Yujiaolong, and Yujiaolong is the "desire" in Li Mubai's heart, which I think is very reasonable. The beautiful and flowing bamboo chase battle hinted at the emotional entanglement of the two, and Ang Lee's shooting technique was really very advanced.
This secret complex of undercurrents can only be understood, or expressed through some ambiguous pictures and only words, if you want to write it directly, it is greatly discolored.
In the end, Yujiaolong jumped towards the vast valley, quite the meaning of cutting off the earthly entanglement and running to freedom and liberation, there are many interpretations of this ending, most of them think that Yujiaolong cannot transcend before choosing to break, self-consciousness lost to social consciousness.
Because I have read the villain book, I prefer to believe that Yu Jiaolong did not give up but continued to resist, not to commit suicide but to escape again, to find the life he wanted. She is true to her heart, and she always loves herself the most.
The emotional line between Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong is an innovation of Ang Lee's films and has little to do with novels. I remember that Li Mubai in the villain book is a hero with transcendent martial arts, and his relationship story with Yu Xiulian takes place in "Sword Qi Pearl". Li Mubai fell in love with Yu Xiulian, the daughter of the dart master, but Yu Xiulian already had a marriage contract. Later, Li Mubai became friends with Yu Xiulian's fiancé Meng Sizhao. In the jianghu battle, Meng died of wounds for Li, and Li Mubai cut off the love thread with the will of a gentleman, taking Yu Xiulian as a righteous sister and escaping everywhere.
In the movie, Li Mubai confessed to Yu Xiulian before he died: "At this time, I still have a breath, I just want to tell you that I have always loved you deeply", "I would rather wander around you, be a wild ghost for 7 days, follow you, even if I fall into the darkest place, my love will not make me an eternal lonely soul"!
Here I don't think he is a hypocrite with a moral appearance, Li Mubai has endured all his life for etiquette and morality, although he is about to be disturbed by Yu Jiaolong, but his feelings for Yu Xiulian are not fake, but he is truly ashamed of her. It was rare that he had the courage to reveal his heart to Yu Xiulian at the last moment.
Yu Xiulian is a gentle and courageous heroine image, she is the opposite of Yu Jiaolong, who dares not break through the moral barriers in her life, and loves Li Mubai deeply. But I still like her very much, she has the good character of traditional Chinese women, dignified and generous, affectionate and inclusive, and trustworthy.
Zheng Peipei played the villain blue-eyed fox, originally thought that he had single-handedly cultivated and guided the rebellious female doll of Yujiaolong, but unexpectedly found that he had entered the set of Yujiaolong (the child was born with a heart), so he hated her to the bone and wanted to get rid of her quickly.
The sentence before her death, "My only kiss, the only hatred", expressed her complicated feelings for Yu Jiaolong.
When the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was first released in China, because it did not meet everyone's expectations for the happy and vengeful martial arts films, it felt too elegant and the evaluation was not very high, and later won the Oscar, which triggered everyone to discuss that the film was made for Westerners. Looking back now, the film is extremely rich in the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, rich in spiritual connotation, playing in the clouds, the art set soundtrack is superior, and every shot is beautiful.
The first time I watched this film, the deepest memory of the whole film was Li Mubai's dying confession, and at that time I also felt slightly abrupt, how could a righteous gentleman suddenly be bold and numb? And he can't accept the seemingly innocent affection between him and Yu Jiaolong, and even deliberately ignore it, after all, I grew up reading villain books, Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong are official matches, and refuse to dismantle cp.
It was only later that I could slowly understand this adaptation of the design.
Finally, by the way, the drama version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" filmed in Taiwan in 2001. Qiu Xinzhi plays Li Mubai, Huang Yi plays Yu Xiulian, Jiang Qinqin plays Yu Jiaolong, He Rundong plays Luo Xiaohu, Tong Ange plays Meng Sizhao, and Zhang Chenguang plays the villain Tie Xiaobelle.
This drama is to integrate the plot of several novels of Wang Dulu, there are many characters, and finally Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu finally return to Xinjiang as zhengguo, Li Mubai gave up his love with Yu Xiulian because of Meng Sizhao, and the two silently blessed and sadly separated.
I watched the whole drama intermittently, and the most impressive thing was probably the upside-down kiss of Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu, who thought it looked romantic at the time, but it would not be knocked unconscious, and the difficulty was so high.
It is said that in order to shoot this scene, Jiang Qinqin was hanged upside down for 5 days in a row, and due to the problem of angle, he and He Rundong both bumped into each other with blue noses and swollen faces. And then the scene of the hot kiss on the grass was not much better, Jiang Qinqin and He Rundong were completely kissing in the pile of horse dung on the grass. It's not easy for actors to shoot, hahaha.
