html On November 10, news broke on Sina Weibo that the new "Swordsman" has been launched! It is said that this new version of "Swordsman" is directed by "Sparrow " director Jin Chen, but the cast is still under confidentiality. We only know that the company registered with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is Beijing Guangguang Media Co., Ltd. is a remake of and ? The author is very curious whether this time the Dongfang Invincible will be a man, a woman, neither a man nor a woman, or will he become a man or a woman? Even leaving aside Dongfang Bubai, "The Swordsman" can be regarded as one of the most popular books among Jin Yong's novels . It has been adapted and remade on the TV screen as many as six times!
including:
(1) TVB1984 version, starring Chow Yun-fat and Chen Xiuzhu. This version starred Fa Ge, who was very popular at the time. The performance of the overseas actors was remarkable, and the ratings were also very successful. However, due to the overall technology of TVB at the time, the problems of too silly actions and too fake scenes were unavoidable;
(2) TVB1996 version: starring Lu Songxian , Liang Peiling , Chen Shaoxia . It is recognized that Linghu Chong is the best version of . Lu Songxian vividly expresses Linghu Chong's free and easy character with no desire and contention. It is the best version in the minds of many viewers;
(3) CTV 2000 version: Starring Ren Xianqi, Anita Yuen, Chen Derong . It has been called the worst version in history. The plot adaptation is a mess and the casting is not in line with the original work. Although Ren Xianqi sings well, he can't act well without acting, so he has to silently give a bad review;
(4) TCS2000 version: starring Ma Jingtao and Fan Wenfang . When I saw this version, my feeling was that it was on par with the 2000 CTV version, with the same messy adaptation, careless scenery, and over-the-top performances. It can be said that the author would rather never have seen this version;
(5) CCTV 2001 version: starring Li Yapeng , Xu Qing , Miao Yiyi . A well-known version, Zhang Jizhong director Jin Yong's debut in the series, the full live-action shooting is the best in the history, and the casting of Mao Weitao and Peng Denghuai is also unique and innovative. However, Li Yapeng's grasp of the role of Linghu Chong was really poor, and the weird slow-motion fighting throughout the play made the final viewing effect mediocre;
(6) Yu Zheng 2013 version: Starring Huo Jianhua, Chen Qiaoen, Yuan Shanshan. It has a very post-modernist imagination and a wild plot that everyone who has seen it will understand.
If you want to ask why the charm of "The Swordsman" is so great, why a new TV series is remade every few years, why countless fans are always unforgettable about this work, and even put it into the top three of Jin Yong's novels. ?
because of Linghu Chong.
Swordsman is the least free hero in Jin Yong's works, but Linghu Chong is the freest hero in Jin Yong's works.
Looking at the entire Jianghu, everyone is involved in the whirlpool of plotting and breaking free. It seems that there is only this greedy prodigal who chases beggars to grab drinks. When he sees Blue Phoenix , he doesn't call her a girl, and he goes to Tian without saying a word. Bo Guangzhang only wanted to save a junior sister from the Hengshan sect whom he had never met before, and he had to take on his junior brother's name to avoid damaging the junior sister's reputation.
But he didn't care. He was so talkative that he was almost dead and still thought about drinking. He didn't consider that he was cut half to death. When he was happy, he mocked the Qingcheng sect for "the butt is turned backwards and the sand is falling like a wild goose", without weighing how much he weighed. When he came up, he went to Tian Boguang to fight for his life. Apart from Linghu Chong, who else could be this kind of fool who does things regardless of the consequences and does not care about life at all, just for his own fitness and peace of mind?
When he was arrogant, he dared to refuse even the abbot of Shaolin, and he did not spare a glance at the Yi Jin Jing; when he was humble, he knew that Yue Buqun was ambitious and had bad intentions, but he was willing to be deceived, and he could not bear to point the sword at him until his death. . When he was down, he lost money in gambling and was beaten by local gangsters without caring; when he was prosperous, let me go successfully treated him as a guest, but he would rather leave the hall filled with praises.
Everyone knows that Linghu Chong, an abandoned disciple in Huashan Mountain, is greedy for money and willful, and is a prodigal son.Little did they know that the prodigal son Linghu Chong adhered to his inner principles to an extent that others would find ridiculous. What kind of prodigal is he? Sometimes he is simply responsible and loyal to the point of being sloppy and unreasonable.
Everyone feels that they are forced by the pressure of survival, forced to do things they don't want to do, and hurt people they don't want to hurt. Why should he insist on his principles to the point of stubbornness? Such a reckless, gullible, and unscrupulous person, what kind of capital does he have?
He is not Zhang Wuji. He has superb martial arts skills that no one can match, and no one can control what he wants to do. He obviously spent most of the book holding on to half his life that could die at any time. When he didn't see the sword in his hand, he was simply at the mercy of others. The Star Absorbing Technique may not be of much benefit. Instead, he has to suffer a real kind of pain for it. The pain of backlash. It's not like Chu Liuxiang, who is alert and wise, and has such good luck. He was so stupid that he was not even alert when asked Wentian to take advantage of it. His luck was even worse. He was imprisoned in water, had his Qi randomly injected into him, fell out of love, was wrongly accused, and narrowly escaped death.
is such a person, no matter what, no matter the adversity or good times, whether he is misunderstood by everyone, abandoned by sad people, or helped by noble people, and respected by others, his principled heart from beginning to end, in this process Every second has never changed.
He was not born with the ability to see the world, but he guarded his heart and naturally put aside the bubbles of fame in the world; he was not born with a free and unruly soul, and he was not born with a free and easy mind. His own life, reputation and love. no.
Linghu Chong is free because he has principles, and he is free because he persists.
What's more, Linghu Chong is extremely real.
Why do you say he is real? Because it was the Huashan faction's trip down the mountain at public expense that established his status in the book. What did he do along the way?
Zu Qianqiu took a bunch of cups and invited him to taste the wine, and said:
is just a timid person. The taste of wine is different. After drinking the first cup, he did not dare to drink the second cup. Throughout the ages, there are only a few people who can drink eight cups in a row.
What was Linghu Chong thinking about?
Even if the wine was poisonous, Linghu Chong would not have long lived. If he was poisoned, he would be poisoned to death. Why should he lose his temper?
What did Linghu Chong think when he learned that what Zu Qianqiu gave him was actually the old man's life-sustaining eight pills, and that the old man wanted to prick his heart blood to cure his daughter?
Besides, I don’t want to live anymore. Why not use my blood to save her life and atone for my sins?
Afterwards, Blue Phoenix brought out the Five Treasures Honey Brew. Only Linghu Chong and Lin Pingzhi from the Huashan Sect dared to drink it. However, Lin Pingzhi did not drink it after all. Why?
Yue Lingshan shouted: "Xiao Linzi, even if you eat this dirty thing, even if you are not poisoned to death, I will never come to you again." Lan Fenghuang handed the wine bowl to Lin Pingzhi and said with a smile: "You drink it Come on!" Lin Pingzhi muttered: "I...I won't drink anymore."
After leaving Shaolin, he met Xiang Wentian and was besieged by the black and white groups. What did Linghu Chong think when he saw the injustice and drew his sword to help?
Right now, both good and evil are trying to take my life. I am hiding and dodging. Even if I linger and survive for a few more days, I will not be able to escape this knife in the end. What good would it do to have one more day when I was so scared to death? It's better to just take things as they come and wait and see who gets killed.
When Jin Yong described Linghu Chong, he never seemed to add the hidden attribute of "hero" to him. Every time Linghu Chong performed an amazing act of righteousness, there was often his own helplessness behind it. Although it seems not domineering enough when you think about it, it is precisely this that makes this character more real.
But reality is not enough, characters have to make choices. Linghu Chong didn't become a knight by chance. He always had a line between right and wrong in his heart. Above this line, he was uninhibited, despised dogma, and acted against common sense; below this line, he was strict and respectful, restrained himself and returned to etiquette, and was good and evil. Not at odds.
Heiichi taught him to stop drinking, sex, and fighting, and he could extend his life by one or two years. How did he answer?
Linghu Chong laughed. Ping Yi pointed his finger and said angrily: "What's so funny?" Linghu Chong said: "When you are alive, you should live your life freely. You can't even drink wine. Women can't think about it. If someone bullies you and you can't fight back, what kind of person should you be? Why don't you die as soon as possible? "It's so refreshing."
What did he think when Ren Woxing used the secret of attracting stars as bait to lure him into teaching?
This time I am selfish and sinister, I am determined not to practice it, and I am determined not to use it. As for the inability to eliminate the alien energy in my body, that was already the case. My life was originally picked up. How could Linghu Chong be greedy for life and afraid of death, so he did something that was against his original wishes?
He is unrestrained and uninhibited, happy with life, but he also has a profound sense of justice and a clear distinction between right and wrong. Such a knight is naturally easy to make people feel friendly and admired, and naturally gives rise to a sense of humor. For example, as the leader of the Huashan Sect, he actually cheated a beggar into drinking wine, and then treated the beggar to a feast after drinking; a prodigal, kidnapped and disguised himself as a government official, and talked obscenely and bossed around all the way, showing no chivalrous demeanor. However, he repeatedly rescued the Hengshan sect in times of subversion and crisis. Lin Yutang said that a sense of humor belongs to a "wanderer", and Linghu Chong is just such a wanderer. He is a little outside the rules and regulations, and is casual but without losing any sense of proportion, which makes him different from the traditional chivalrous knights who are benevolent and righteous.
Of course, the last thing I want to mention is a moment in Linghu Chong's heart. In my opinion, this is the most amazing description in the entire Swordsman:
Suddenly, everything was silent. Thousands of powerful people gathered inside and outside the Shaolin Temple. From the mountainside to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, there were at least two to three thousand orthodox believers. Unexpectedly, no one made a sound. Some people wanted to speak, but they were also attracted by the silent atmosphere. Wow, he shrank back even as he spoke. It seemed that only the snowflakes were falling on the leaves and grass, making a soft and unusual sound. Linghu Chong suddenly thought in his heart: "I don't know what the little junior sister is doing at this time?"
Missing, powerless, and suddenly remembered, anyone who had a bitter love when they were young knows this feeling.
No matter what, "The Swordsman" is about to be remade again, and there will always be some people who feel all kinds of emotions in their hearts, knowing the bitterness, the sourness and the sweetness.
