"The Legend of Shushan"-the beauty of a different fairy

18 years have passed, I still remember the long sky that I saw when I was a child. The sword spirit is vertical and horizontal. The immortal cultivator who stepped on the flying sword swept across the sky like meteors, flying with swords, chasing the wind and moon, and stars. Speeding.

Chinese​In 1983, Tsui Hark hired a Hollywood special effects team to create "Shushan: New Shushan Swordsman"

for the first time The novel created by Li Shoumin, the original poster of Huanzhu, was put on the big screen as the door to the Chinese fantasy movie.

Lin Qingxia "Shu Mountain: New Shushan Swordsman"

But until 2001, during the 18 years, there was almost no fairy movie in the Chinese film industry. In the end, Tsui Hark himself Came to fill in the pit and produced the "Biography of Shu Mountain."

After watching many of today's Xianxia movies, I turned around and looked at The Legend of Shushan. Suddenly, I felt that the original work seemed to have more Xianxia essence. Cultivators have painstakingly cultivated through the years longer than ordinary people, experienced all kinds of cultivation, large and small, tried all kinds of warm and cold feelings, have a greater mind than ordinary people, and see more lofty than ordinary people. Those with supernatural powers have to bear the greater responsibility.

At the beginning of the movie, the solitary moon way fulfils the tradition of Kunlun. It is the sun and the moon set the yin and the sun, and the treasure of the mountain is a weapon for a day and a month. , So I have always been one teacher and one apprentice. Guyue always missed her master, and couldn't break through her cultivation base, so she couldn't ask Xuantianzong to follow her footsteps and drive him down the mountain.

Parting words with Xuantianzong, clearly has a foreboding of the future, Lonely Moon’s cultivation base is flawed, and he will die when the blood demons invade. This death is probably what Gu Yue asked for, too hard to think about, and unrecoverable, until he died.

As Gu Yue wished, although Xuantianzong also values ​​affection, he is not paranoid. Although his heart fluctuates to meet Master's reincarnation, Li Yingqi, he will even more of Emei. The future and destiny are in mind. Xuan Tianzong is the mainstay of the decent forces. In the situation that Bai Mei went out to hunt for treasures and Dan Chenzi entered the demons, it was he who took up the task of fighting the demons.

As a big brother Emei, Dan Chenzi has always restrained her forbearance, but it is his self-discipline character that let the red corpse find The gap in the strategy.

Dan Chenzi always does not forget the responsibilities of the chief disciple, fulfilling his duties, but suppressing his own personality, finally, when he encounters the seemingly weak red corpse, he has a heart of compassion and love. , After all, she was bewitched by her, sigh and sad.

Changkong Wuji is the owner of the "Thunder Flame Sword" of the Heavenly Thunder Double Sword, and if combined with Li Yingqi's Heavenly Fencing Double Sword, it will be infinitely powerful. When the two swords were combined for the first time, Chang Kong Wuji was so distracted that he was wiped out. Later, the head of the Emei faction, "White Eyebrow", used the remaining soul of the Thunder Yan sword to reshape his body.

Although the story of the inconsistency of good and evil is clichéd, Mr. Xu's Shushan still has a kind of upright temperament, and you will never love me to death. The so-called search for the eternal truth in the world, the promotion of ability and the realization of the soul in exchange for longevity, the cultivator is actually not much better than the mortal, and has countless love, hatred, and ignorance. Working hard, the road is long and endless. The plot of this movie is also a link between the past and the next, which completely portrays the world of cultivating immortals in people's imagination. There are not only the support of the cultivators on the Avenue of Justice, but also the emotional favor of the cultivators themselves.blame.

I have to say that Xu Hark and art director Zhang Shuping are very good at using fantasy special effects scenes and exquisite service to create female characters. The experience of the heroine being portrayed in this drama has been a long time.

Both of them are wind blowing Yushu, snow wrapped in Qiongbao, elegant and flexible. Through this film, Cecilia Cheung, who was only 21 years old, won the reputation of "Little Lin Qingxia" and became the most watched future superstar in Hong Kong film circles.

In order to produce the special effects of "The Legend of Shushan", Tsui Hark specially hired 4 Hollywood computer special effects companies to help out. It took a year to complete and cost more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, the cast of this movie is unprecedentedly strong: Ekin Cheng, Cecilia Cheung, Louis Koo, Sammo Hung, Wu Jing, Zhang Ziyi and other big-name stars. As a result, under Tsui Hark's pursuit of excellence, the shooting budget of "The Legend of Shu Shan" exceeded and exceeded again, and the final budget was close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars. It turned out to be counterproductive. The double decline in box office and word-of-mouth made Hong Kong films that had been declining again. Although "The Legend of Shushan" won five nominations and two major awards for the Golden Horse Awards, it is a pity that they are all technical awards in recognition of their attempts to expand their boundaries for the special effects technology of Chinese films.

The special effects of this movie are much more advanced than those 50 cents in the current era. In terms of the plot, I personally think that the movie time is still too short, and it is not enough to explain the plot clearly. The story scene is changed in a hurry, and the character creation also lacks time to portray. But I still hope that there will be a second one, but after so long time has passed, the actors have all withdrawn. It is estimated that the previous taste will not be photographed.
