In 1992, a martial arts movie called " New Longmen Inn " was released. After its release, the audience directly regarded this movie as the starting point of Hong Kong's new martial arts, which can be regarded as a monument of martial arts movies.
But little did I know that this movie has become a classic by chance, and it is also the eternal pain of the heroine Brigitte Lin . I still dare not revisit it. Today we will talk about the story of the world behind "New Dragon Inn".
htmlIn the 190s, with the craze of martial arts films, Wu Siyuan accidentally saw "Longmen Inn" directed by Hu Jinquan , and he felt deeply about the martial arts complex in the play and decided to remake the movie.
He first found Tsui Hark , who is good at shooting martial arts films. After the two discussed, Tsui Hark found Li Huimin Cheng Xiaodong and others as helpers. Wu Siyuan also successfully obtained the copyright of the remake of "Longmen Inn". After that, the crew went to Dunhuang to watch the venue. Just when the preliminary work was about to be prepared, Wu Siyuan encountered a problem.
Jet Li’s agent . When he learned that Wu Siyuan remakes this movie, he found him and said that he also wanted to shoot this "New Dragon Inn"
And in terms of actors, he has found Jet Li Michelle Yeoh Mo Shaocong starred in , and even took the final makeup photos, and even told Wu Siyuan that he had to make the film, and the copyright must be transferred to him
Cai Ziming is not an ordinary person. He has a certain status in the world. Even people in the entertainment industry have to respect him three points. In this case, Wu Siyuan was helpless. Just when everyone was at a loss, news of Cai Ziming being shot dead suddenly came out. After this accident, the Cai version of "New Longmen Inn" was abandoned.
The power of the remake of "Longmen Inn" has just been settled. Tsui Hark and Jet Li had a good personal relationship, so he thought about letting Jet Li continue to star in the movie, but Jet Li had to leave Hong Kong in order to avoid the limelight.
crew had to find Tony Leung . Although Tony Leung won the Academy Awards and the best actor in , it was actually far from comparable to Jet Li's box office appeal, and this movie made Tony Leung become a big hit from now on.
In addition, she has also experienced many twists and turns in other actors. At that time, Brigitte Lin played the role of "Jinyingyu", and Maggie Cheung as the heroine " Qiu Moyan "
Although Maggie Cheung has now become the powerful actress in everyone's hearts, in 1992, she was also called an absolute "vase" by the audience
and has never filmed a costume film, so all leaders opposed it, and Maggie Cheung served as the heroine.
At this time, Brigitte Lin did not like the role of "Jinyingyu". She was worried that it would destroy her image in the minds of movie fans, so the roles of the two were changed.
But who knew that after the movie was released, the charm of gold and jade was too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Whether it was the straightforwardness of lifting the skirt and the spirited fighting scenes, they were all unforgettable.
Especially Jin Yingyu and Qiu Moyan, this scene in the bathroom attracted the attention of the audience. Qiu Moyan, who was originally the first heroine, was stolen by Jin Yingyu. Maggie Cheung successfully changed from a "vase" to an acting player. She also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for Best Actress
Of course, as a martial arts movie with a lot of action scenes, "New Dragon Gate Inn" also occurred frequently during the filming. Brigitte Lin had a scene where he needed to block the arrow with a sword
In this case, people's instincts would squint. Brigitte Lin tried to open his eyes wide and maintain the posture of a chivalrous woman in order to pass it over. However, both sides made mistakes in cooperation, and the eyes were accidentally injured by the flying bamboo arrow, causing the cornea to rupture. Because of fear of blindness, Brigitte Lin had to return to Hong Kong for treatment.
But the crew could not stop working, so Wu Siyuan had to find a stand-in actor Shi Yi who was very similar to Brigitte Lin to complete the remaining scenes. Some masked and side shots in the film were basically done by her. It is said that Brigitte Lin still doesn't want to watch this movie again.
In addition, there are also those who hurt their eyes. Donnie Yen , who plays Eunuch Cao. Because Tony Leung is not good at action scenes, Tsui Hark is worried that the fighting scenes in the film are not exciting enough, and he must find an actor who can fight to support his feet. At this time, he thought of Donnie Yen who he had worked with, so he decided to let him play the ruthless villain Cao Shaoqin .
At the end of the film, there is a scene where Donnie Yen, Tony Leung, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, and Maggie Cheung are at the same time trapped in the quicksand. Cheng Xiaodong prepared for this scene for four hours, but an accident still occurred during the filming process.
Donnie Yen's knife was stuck in a burlap bag. Because the strength was not controlled well, the sword rebounded back and hit Donnie Yen's right eye. A blood mark was drawn on the spot. He could only be forced to stop work and shoot the next day. But fortunately, the one who hit Donnie Yen's eyes was the back of the knife
. In this scene of Huangsha, the most classic thing is that in a desert war designed by Cheng Xiaodong, Cao Shaoqin was shaved with one hand and one foot by a fast knife stalker. It can be said that the shadow of childhood of many people
In that era without special effects, this "knife scraping Donnie Yen" action scene can be said to have reached the level of Dengfeng's extreme creation. It is said that this scene was not in the script. Before the filming of the movie started, Cheng Xiaodong added it temporarily after he arrived in Dunhuang.
What's more interesting is that during this one-man show, the actors and machines were in place, but the props were not arrived.
In order to catch up with the shooting progress, Donnie Yen held a long sword. In desperation, Cheng Xiaodong found a wooden stick, wrapped it with tin foil on the wooden stick, and then combined with the reflection of the sun, the sword effect shot flashed by, so the audience could not see
Looking back at this movie, who would have thought that the sword in Donnie Yen's hand was a wooden stick wrapped in tin foil
I believe many movie fans, Everyone is deeply impressed by the butcher's "dirty butcher". Maybe no one expected that this seemingly ordinary little troll, with a kitchen knife at a critical moment, slashed the villain Cao Shaoqin
It is worth mentioning that the person who plays the dignified butcher is called Wang Tongchuan , who was awarded the national skills sports champion in 1983, and now he has changed his career and has become a painter
In "New Longmen Inn", no matter how it is a story The lineup is still an action design, portraying the affair of the world in the desert and the wild sand to the extreme. This work will be 30 years old. Looking back at this movie is still an eternal classic.
