Although the glory of Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television has become a thing of the past, those classic characters that remain in the hearts of the audience have become eternal memories.
In this issue, Siqi and everyone walk into the martial arts drama characters created by 4 Hong Kong and Taiwan actors (in no particular order). Each one is unforgettable and has never been surpassed so far.
1. Lu Songxian-Linghu Chong
Throughout the history of Chinese films, there are many actors who have played "Linghu Chong".
Among them, there are Chow Yun-fat, Lu Songxian, Jet Li , Huo Jianhua, Ren Xianqi, Ma Jingtao, Li Yapeng, etc.
Leaving aside the movie version, among the multiple versions of the martial arts drama "Swordsman", most viewers think Lu Songxian's version is the king.
Some viewers gave such high praise: After Lu Songxian, there will be no Linghu Chong!
In Jin Yong old man's pen, " rectangular face, sword eyebrows and thin lips " is the appearance description of Linghu Chong, " heroic, free and unrestrained" is his character image.
Friends who have carefully read the original work will understand that the character Linghu Chong is actually very complicated.
First of all, he never sticks to the differences between sects, nor does he follow the trend and follow the precepts of his sect. In his heart, there is a yardstick to measure good and evil.
Secondly, he knows how to be grateful, but because of this he is limited to only thinking about repaying gratitude. Even if the master's true identity is revealed, the master's wife blindly follows him and tolerates him blindly.
Thirdly, he is lively, naughty and active by nature, just like a child who has not grown up. Therefore, even though he deeply loves his junior sister, he is regarded as a good big brother by her.
After comprehensively analyzing the above points, let’s take a look at Linghu Chong portrayed by Lu Songxian.
From the perspective of the "Appearance Association", he is not a super handsome guy, but he is very close to Linghu Chong in the book.
As far as acting skills are concerned, he is not yet as good as the "Actor with Thousand Faces" Tony Leung , the "Electric Eyes Man" Tony Leung and others.
It is worth mentioning that his performance was effortless and there was almost no trace of performance.
Linghu Chong in different periods has different growth processes.
During the Huashan Sect period, he and his junior sister Yue Lingshan were childhood sweethearts.
During this period, he lived a life without fighting against the world, even a little "heartless". After
got involved in the disputes between Jianghu and Jianghu, he changed the image of a naughty naughty boy and bravely shouldered the heavy responsibility of Hengshan sect, and moved forward for the sake of friendship.
But when it came to Zuo Lengchan, Dongfang Bubai, Let Me Go, Yue Buqun and other giants in the world were addicted to the power game, he chose to live in seclusion with his beloved Ren Yingying, and truly achieved "smiling pride in the world" ".
It is true that Lu Songxian can perfectly interpret such a classic role for the following reasons:
First, TVB’s accurate casting selection boldly let an actor who is “not handsome enough” take the lead;
Second, it is due to Lu Songxian’s own personality, although he is different from Jiang Hua, Wu Yongwei , Wan Qiwen are collectively known as the "Twin Dans", but it is undeniable that he has always been low-key and worthy of being the "Linghu Chong" in the film and television world. After
and Mai Jingting got married, the couple always insisted on being " DINK ", never fearing the world's eyes, and never had any scandals.
Perhaps, this is their world, living simply and loving purely.
2. Zheng Shaoqiu - Chu Liuxiang
How classic is "Chu Liuxiang" played by Zheng Shaoqiu?
Since " The Legend of Chu Liuxiang " has become popular throughout Taiwan, Gu Long said sourly : "Taiwanese people only know that Zheng Shaoqiu is Chu Liuxiang, but few people know that the author of Chu Liuxiang is Gu Long."
As the most famous author of Gu Daxia There are also countless versions of Chu Liuxiang, the most representative chivalrous person.
Such as Ti Lung, Tian Peng, Miao Qiaowei , Aaron Kwok, Ma Dezhong , Zhu Xiaotian , Zhang Zhiyao, etc., are all synonymous with handsome guys.
But so far, Zheng Shaoqiu’s version of Chu Liuxiang is still irreplaceable.
Even the children born after 2000 were deeply impressed by the charm of Qiuguan after watching it.
So, why does the 1979 version of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" endure for so long?
The so-called "thief handsome" is actually a thief who steals things.
If you want to successfully steal rare treasures, you must have enough unpredictable skills.
Zheng Shaoqiu is the great disciple of the "grand master" Liu Jialiang ( Southern Kung Fu Hong Jiaquan direct descendant ), and his martial arts skills are beyond doubt.
Coupled with TVB's strong martial arts team, it is no problem to create a Chu Liuxiang with strong martial arts skills.
Chu Liuxiang not only steals things, but also steals hearts, especially the hearts of beautiful women.
To successfully "steal" the heart of a beautiful woman, handsomeness is essential.
Zheng Shaoqiu's handsomeness is not a wink or a pretense, nor is he deliberately trying to be cool.
Without the blessing of superb acting skills, no matter how handsome an actor is, he can only give the audience a "oil-headed, noodle-y" feeling.
Since 1963, Zheng Shaoqiu has been admitted to Daxi, Tongwen and Nanguo training classes. He once studied acting under Liang Ming (the then director of the Hong Kong Repertory Theater).
Any actor who has been tempered on the drama stage will not have bad acting skills.
Gu Long wrote this about Chu Liuxiang: A woman is a friend and a woman is an enemy. The rivers and lakes are strange, the world is thin, and the situation is changing like frost. Whose hands are not stained with blood, only the handsome thief Chu Liuxiang.
First of all, from the service point of view, TVB loves "Chu Liuxiang" very much. White clothes are better than snow is the standard. There are also blue clothes, yellow fir, black fir... various combinations emerge in endlessly.
TVB has always been stingy and can spend a lot of money on the male protagonist in a drama, which shows that it attaches great importance to it.
In addition, Zheng Shaoqiu is a "clothes hanger". No matter what clothes he wears, he can't hide his handsomeness.
It is true that the success of this version of Chu Liuxiang is inseparable from the support of many "green leaves".
At that time, Zhao Yazhi ( Su Rongrong), Wang Mingquan (Shen Huishan), Gao Miaosi (Song Tian'er) and other actresses were at the peak of their appearance, and their acting skills were also at their best. They could be called "all the stars supporting the moon" ".
In addition, supporting roles such as "Hu Tiehua" played by Ng Man-tat , "Wu Hua" played by Guan Cong, and " Ji Bingyan " played by Xia Yu also restored the characters of the original work to a great extent.
In addition to "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", Zheng Shaoqiu has also performed "Chu Liuxiang" in dramas such as "The Finale of Chu Liuxiang", "Midnight Orchid", " Legend of Xiangshuai ", " The New Legend of Chu Liuxiang " .
Although the reputation of each version is different, his performance in the play is as usual, he is like "the handsome man is handsome" and "the thief is the hero".
3. Huang Rihua — Qiao Feng
As the biggest IP written by Mr. Jin, Qiao Feng has so many versions that it makes the audience visually tired. Before
, there were Liang Jiaren , Xu Shaoqiang , and Hui Tianci. Later, there were versions such as Huang Rihua, Hu Jun , Zhong Hanliang , etc., each with its own characteristics.
Among the many versions of "Qiao Da Xia", the audience most likes to compete with Huang Rihua's version and Hu Jun's version.
In fact, in Siqi's opinion, there is no way to compare these two versions, because the former of is closer to the audience, and the latter is more consistent with the original work.
In the late 1990s, although "Oriental Hollywood" was gradually declining, the filming technology was more advanced and the requirements for actors were stricter.
Because at this time, with the rise of the mainland's film and television industry, if Hong Kong does not pursue "quality" in the film and television industry, it will be difficult to stay in the brutal competition.
As the leader of the " wireless five tigers ", Huang Rihua's acting skills are obvious to all.
Prior to this, he has contributed "Passenger", "Thirteen Taibao", "Mr. Foshan Zan", " The Prodigal Son of Xiangcheng ", " Heroes Out of Youth ", " Legend of the Condor Heroes " Waiting for a hit drama, there is no need to doubt his ability to create characters.
What's more, he also starred in the role of "Xuzhu" in the 1982 version of "天龙八部", and he already knew the script by heart.
Therefore, in the 1997 version of "Dragon Movie", TVB decided to let him play the role of "Qiao Feng".
In terms of age and appearance, Huang Rihua was 36 years old at this time, which coincided with the old man's Qiao Feng:
He was in his thirties, wearing an old gray cloth robe that was slightly tattered. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth. He has a square face with a weathered look, and looks very powerful when looking at him.
From the perspective of acting experience, Huang Rihua has created screen images such as "Li Tang", "Li Cunxiao", "Qianlong", "Guo Jing", "Zhan Zhao", etc., whether they are common people, villains, princes, nobles, or He is a dull person, and they are all portrayed vividly by him.
Cut open the corner of "Qiao Feng": from the civil strife of the Beggar Clan , to abandoning the secular world and Duan Yu (Prince of Dali), Xu Zhu (the young monk) and the sworn brother Jinlan, to the battle of wits and courage with various good and evil factions. , all of which require a great warrior to control.
Huang Rihua is 1.78 meters tall, handsome and burly, but not greasy at all. Coupled with his extraordinary acting skills, he can easily handle the role.
Therefore, even though TVB's costumes are a little rough and most of them are shot in virtual scenes, the flaws are not hidden and it is worthy of being a classic.
Moreover, the actors in the play are also quite awesome.
Such as Chen Haomin played "Duan Yu", Fan Shaohuang played "Xu Zhu", Liu Jinling played "A'Zhu", Li Ruotong played "Wang Yuyan", Zhao Xueer played "Mu Wanqing", " Jiumozhi " played by Li Guolin, "Murong Fu" played by Zhang Guoqiang...
To this day, if you have watched the show, I believe you will remember every character.
Let’s talk about Huang Rihua’s character and artistic ethics. In addition to his professionalism, he is also a doting wife, a maniac, and a protector of charity.
Since marrying Liang Jiehua, he has been in a state of "zero scandal".
On May 26, 2020, Liang Jiehua passed away peacefully due to organ failure. His life was fixed at the age of 59.
After that, Huang Rihua vowed never to marry again and to live alone for love for the rest of his life.
Today, at the age of 61, he lives a quiet life of semi-retirement. His daughter Huang Zhiqing is his biggest support.
Four, Jiao Enjun-Li Xunhuan
Compared with Chu Liuxiang, Li Xunhuan is also a super god character in the ancient heroes.
To make this character "alive" on the screen, being handsome alone is definitely not enough.
Let’s take a look at how Gu Long wrote about Li Xunhuan:
The corners of his eyes are full of wrinkles, and every wrinkle is filled with sorrow and misfortune, but only his eyes are young.
These strange eyes seem to be green, like willow branches blown by the spring breeze, gentle and flexible, and like the sea water under the summer sun, full of pleasant vitality.
Perhaps it is because of these eyes that he can live to this day...
It can be seen from this that Li Xunhuan is a melancholy person who abandons love for justice, but is troubled by love all his life.
In the history of movies, Zhu Jiang, Di Lung, Guan Lijie, Ekin Cheng, Wang Jie, Yan Yikuan and others have played the role of "Little Li Tanhua", but they have all been criticized to a greater or lesser extent.
But only Jiao Enjun, the fans of the drama gave it a 100 points, and they couldn't refute it.
So, what is so classic about this version of Li Xunhuan?
Perhaps most viewers don’t understand that the gentle Jiao Enjun in Qiong Yao’s drama is actually a martial arts fanatic.
When he was a child, because he admired Bruce Lee , he successively learned Taekwondo, Chinese martial arts , Nunchuck , etc., and he was very strong.
Since 1990, he has been exposed to martial arts dramas, and has portrayed "Zhan Zhao" in "The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses", "Liu Yunlong" in "Bao Qingtian's Search for Relatives", and "Lei Yunlong" in "Super Female Governor" "Old" and other ancient costume images.
Because of this, Jiao Enjun's performance of Li Xunhuan is at least solid.
In the play, he wears an "instant noodles head", holds a folding fan in his hand, and occasionally flashes a throwing knife, which is so cool.
As an original author, Siqi began to dislike this image very much in the first episode.
As the plot progresses, it becomes even more unacceptable.
Because of this drama, the adaptation is really too serious.
But it is undeniable that even though the original work has been tragically adapted, the play is still an excellent work.
First of all, the directors are Yuan Heping and Cui Cheng, and the martial arts design makes the audience put their hearts in their stomachs.
Secondly, there are drama stars such as Kaohsiung (Shangguan Jinhong), Lin Liyang (Long Xiaoyun), Dai Chunrong (Grandma Cui), Zhang Mingjian (Bai Xiaosheng), etc., who have joined the cast, and there is no shortage of acting highlights.
Thirdly, the actresses are in full bloom, including the "number one beauty" Xiao Qiang, and other powerful actresses such as "Jinghong Fairy" Yu Feihong, "Sexy Goddess" Jia Jingwen, "Chaoshan Beauty" Zheng Zefan and other powerful actresses. , let alone "Li Xunhuan", even "Marshal Tianpeng" is no problem.
Let’s look at Li Xunhuan played by Jiao Enjun. He has a stern face and melancholy eyes, he is infatuated but "heartless", romantic but not vulgar.
Even today, the poignant love between Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin is still "uneasy" for countless viewers.
Acting skills are crucial if you want to perform such a disgusting and hateful effect.
Under Jiao Enjun's interpretation, Li Xunhuan's hesitation in expressing love for Lin Shiyin, his selfless love for Long Xiaoyun, and his selfish loss of love for himself are all vividly displayed in .
In addition to love, Li Xunhuan also has a unique view on the world.
Although the "Xiao Li Flying Knife" was only ranked third in the weapon spectrum by Bai Xiaosheng, he actually achieved "no missed shots" and never killed anyone by mistake. In the battle between
and Shangguan Jinhong, the two of them were evenly matched, and life and death were in an instant.
With his firm belief in justice, Li Xunhuan's flying knife finally passed through the circle and hit his opponent steadily.
Of course, there is also the brotherhood between Li Xunhuan and A Fei, the romance with Yang Yan and Sun Xiaohong, and the extreme tolerance towards Long Xiaoyun...
Jiao Enjun has achieved seamless switching in every detail.
The reason why a drama is a classic cannot be separated from the hard work of each actor. It is the result of the joint efforts of the crew.
As a fan of the show, please remember them while sharing quality time with your family.
It is because of them that our youth is colorful and we have precious memories.
