Everyone has a martial arts dream in their hearts. Jin Yong’s martial arts novels have the greatest impact on us, whether they are books or film and television works. Jin Yong's martial arts novels are adapted every year, and there are relatively many TV series.
Relatively speaking, there are not as many movies adapted from Jin Yong’s martial arts novels as there are TV series. The main reason is that there are too many plots in the books and the movies cannot be comprehensive. However, there are also many excellent movies adapted from them. We will not talk about the early Shaw Brothers. The main reason is that there are too many plots in the books. Let’s introduce Jin Yong’s martial arts movies around the 1990s.
1, "The Swordsman" trilogy
The filming process for the first version of Xu Guanjie's version was quite difficult, with a total of 6 directors involved, and there were many changes of roles, but the final effect was very good, interpreting the wanton and debauched character. Jianghu also started a new wave of martial arts in Hong Kong movies.
The second film "The Invincible" has the highest rating. Although Tsui Hark changed most of the plot and made The Invincible a female, Brigitte Lin was so amazing that everyone later thought that the Invincible was originally It's a female.
The level of the movie dropped a lot in the third part. Only Wang Zuxian and Brigitte Lin could hold up the whole movie. When it comes to playing Lily, Tsui Hark is the best.
2, "The Deer and the Cauldron " two parts
When Jin Yong learned that Stephen Chow was playing the role of Wei Xiaobao , he gave a six-word evaluation: Don't think second-hand. This shows that Mr. Jin Yong trusts and recognizes Stephen Chow. Of course, Stephen Chow did not disappoint him. He created the most classic Wei Xiaobao. Both his character and expression are almost the same as those in the book. It can be said that he has captured the essence of Wei Xiaobao. It is estimated that it will be difficult for anyone to break through in the future! It is worth mentioning that when Stephen Chow later filmed "Kung Fu", he used the name from Jin Yong's martial arts novel. Master Xing insisted on paying royalties. Later, the old man casually donated the 60,000 yuan given by Stephen Chow.
3, "Ashes of Time" and "East and West" and Sisters
have little to do with Jin Yong's novels. At most, they borrowed their names. The biggest connection between the two movies is that they use the same actors. The director Wong Kar-Wai and Liu Zhenwei may not have anything to do with it, but the actors are miserable. During the day, they have to be happy to shoot "East and West", but at night they all become melancholy. "Ashes of Time" was really tortured to the point of collapse, but it was under this torture that two classic works emerged.
4, " The Legend of the Condor Heroes " and "The Legend of the Nine-Two Divine Condor Heroes: The Sword of Madness" by two brothers
Only the title of the film is related to Jin Yong's novel, and the others have nothing to do with it. This film is the first work of Andy Lau to establish a film company. The lineup includes Andy Lau, Anita Mui, Aaron Kwok , Carina Lau and others. The screenwriters are Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai. The two construct a romantic and strange story in a modern background. The world of martial arts is still relatively new, and it also made 20 million at the box office that year, which can be said to be a huge success.
However, when it came to the second film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Sword of Madness", there was a feeling that things were going on. From then on, Andy Lau's film company began to lose money. That period was the most difficult period in Hua Ge's life.
5, "Xinbi Blood Sword"
No matter which version I watch, I always feel that Xia Xueyi and Wen Yi are the protagonists. The relationship between Li Xiuxian's Golden God Prince and Li Meifeng's Wen Yi is unforgettable. They live in different quilts and die in the same hole. It is also the best destination for the two of them. There are two wonderful fights in this film, one is the sword fight at the beginning, and the other is the final battle at the end of the film. The action design is very clever and imaginative.
6, "Flying Fox Story"
starring Liming, Zhang Min , Michelle Reis , Xu Jinjiang , I don't know if it was influenced by the New Dragon Gate Inn, but it is also set in the desert. The story is still about love and hatred in the world. The two goddesses, Michelle Reis and Zhang Min, are both more stunning in appearance, but Zhang Min's performance is even more brilliant, especially the finger-sucking part, which is really amazing.It is worth mentioning that the lines in this film are also worthy of careful study, and at least they can be used as jokes.
7, "New Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Child Mother"
Putting aside the plot, Brigitte Lin, Gong Li and Zhang Min are enough, it is really eye-catching. Brigitte Lin plays two roles, she can be both pure and fierce, and Gong Li's Wu Xingyun should be the peak of her appearance. Zhang Min's Ah Zi is a bit similar to the character of Ah Jiu in "New Blood Sword" above, smart and cute . The most beautiful scene is the scene between Brigitte Lin and Gong Li drinking and singing, playing the piano and singing happily, which has long become a classic scene in martial arts movies.
8, " The Legend of the Heaven and Dragon Sword: The Leader of the Demon Cult "
Whenever we talk about which movie sequels we are most looking forward to, "The Legend of the Heaven and the Dragon Sword: The Leader of the Demon Cult" is always at the forefront. When Zhao Min left the words "I will wait for you in Dadu", We have been waiting for more than twenty years. Now Wang Jing has planned a sequel, but can we regain our memories of the past? Even if Jet Li, Zhang Min, and Gigi Gigi all return, things have changed. Personally, I think we should wait forever. As the saying goes, regretful memories are the most profound!
Among the eight series of Jin Yong's martial arts movies, Zhang Min has participated in the most, and is the biggest winner. Jin Yong's martial arts TV series have been constantly being remade in recent years, but not many people dare to try movies. Looking at the film industry, only Mr. Xu dares to do so. I look forward to Mr. Xu's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" trilogy, and I hope it can become A classic like the "Swordsman" trilogy!
