Hi Jinquan The most classic martial arts film directed by director Hu Jinquan is "Hiro ", which has achieved extremely high-achieving martial arts classics and has a profound and long-lasting impact on Hong Kong films.
"The Heroes" was nominated for the 28th Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Hand Award , but unfortunately I didn't win it. However, I also won the Cannes Film Festival Technology Award. It was also the international film industry that I won the award and sold the European copyright so I would not lose so badly. When "The Legend of the Goddess" was released, the box office was cold.
"The Legend of the Goddess" is the work with the highest artistic achievements of director Hu Jinquan, but the work with the highest artistic conception is not "The Legend of the Goddess", but " Kongshan Lingyu ".
"Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" is a work by King Hu in 1979. It was completed 9 years later than "The Legend of the Goddess". It belongs to the late work of King Hu's directorial career. As a martial arts movie, the film does not have many action scenes, but the Zen meaning is too high, and I still feel it over and over again.
When it comes to martial arts films, movie fans usually think of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but the work "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has actually been influenced by "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" to a certain extent.
The most commendable thing is that "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" has launched a repaired version, and the repair effect is excellent. Nowadays, it still has a great viewing experience.
The story of "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" basically takes place in Sanbao Temple. The plot is based on the selection of disciples of Sanbao Temple's abbots. It is at this time that two groups of people came to Sanbao Temple, and they all wanted to steal the Buddhist scriptures of the temple town of Sanbao Temple, "Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana", a story of intrigue and open and secret struggles unfold. The most important reason why this martial arts film can produce artistic conception is to focus on the plot of selecting disciples. As expected, the selection result was that it actually handed over the position of the abbot to a monk who had just arrived at Sanbao Temple: Qiu Ming was offended, and Qiu Ming was unexpectedly a master.
And as long as you interpret why the old abbot passed the location to a new monk, you can feel the highest artistic conception of "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain", which is the charm of "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain".
