The "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" series is a classic masterpiece of the master of martial arts novels, Mr. Gu Long, and the chapter "Before and After the Decisive Battle" is particularly classic.
So far, " Lu Xiaofeng ", as a classic martial arts role, has been used in film and television works many times, and many famous artists have performed them. For example, Lin Zhiying , Meng Fei , Liu Dekai , Lin Feng , Zhang Zhilin and so on.
In 2000, the " Battle on the Forbidden Top " filmed by the director of Liu Weiqiang was also regarded as a rare classic movie in the "Lu Xiaofeng series" by the audience.
As this year's New Year movie, "The Battle of the Forbidden City" has achieved very good box office results when it was broadcast. In the film, a group of actors with the highest reputation in Hong Kong and the Mainland were assembled. For example, in the movie, Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, is played by the "king of heaven" Andy Lau, and the "Sword God" Ximen Fuxue is played by the cold-faced Ekin Cheng. The core role in the movie is humorous and funny. The role of "Four Eyebrows" Lu Xiaofeng is played by the well-known Hong Kong artist Zhang Jiahui.
and,There are also many beautiful actresses participating, adding a lot of beautiful scenery to this film, because in Gulong 's novels, wine and beauty are always indispensable.
It has been more than 20 years since it was aired to this day. However, the audience still praised it. I want to come apart from the fact that there are so many big-name actors in the show. In addition to the acting, the more important reason is that this film restores the style of Gu Long's original novel almost in its original form, which is fantasy, suspense, tension and wit. The film uses a slightly darker tone throughout, which makes the whole film more curious and mysterious in addition to its relaxed and humorous. In the film, some characters are responsible for the brilliance, some are responsible for acting cool and handsome, some are responsible for the beauty and beauty, and some are responsible for funny and humorous. Although the overall plot is very long, there is no extra plot in the whole process. , Basically interlocking, wonderful shots, classic scenes one after another, until the end of the film, at the moment when Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue battled on the top of the Forbidden City, all the puzzles were uncovered, but the film is the most A wonderful decisive battle was also staged at the last minute.
Why is this film regarded as a classic by many viewers?
One of the reasons that I think is very important is that the several important roles in the film are basically at their best.
Around 2000, Andy Lau was almost at the peak of his 40th year, both in appearance and personal artistic charm. It was around 2000 that Andy Lau also participated in his personal interpretation career. The most classic "Dark War", "Infernal Affairs" series of films, etc.The role of Ye Gucheng, played by Andy Lau, is perfect whether it is the match between the actor and the character. In the film, Liu Weiqiang made a bold change to the role of Ye Gucheng, portraying him as a royal aristocrat who was left out of the cold since childhood-Pingnan Wang Shu, not only a swordsman with far-reaching influence on the rivers and lakes, but also expensive. Looking at the Hong Kong film and television industry at the time, only Andy Lau could interpret this specific aura well.
And Ximen Fuxue, played by Ekin Cheng, is also very popular with the audience.
Ximen Fuxue in the original book is a swordsman who has achieved the realm of "man and sword in one" except for the sword. Previously, whether it was the hero of Hua in "Heroes of China" or Nie Feng in "The Power of the World", everyone saw the cold and majestic side of Ekin Cheng as a knight, and therefore, Ekin Cheng's own temperament and Ximen Fuxue Well blended together.
As for Lu Xiaofeng, played by Zhang Jiahui, I personally feel that this version of Lu Xiaofeng is also very vivid. Because Lu Xiaofeng in the original book was originally cynical, smart, and courageous, Zhang Jiahui’s comedy talent and these characteristics of Lu Xiaofeng are ingeniously combined to deduce the most classic version of Lu Xiaofeng on the screen.
In addition, the classic supporting roles in Hong Kong martial arts movies Xu Shaoqiang and Xu Jinjiang also appeared in the film as a villain, Xu Jinjiang also appeared in the movie. ,As soon as he appeared on the stage, he became a sacrifice for Ximen Chuuxue to try his sword, and Xu Jinjiang, who was exquisite in acting, played Lu Xiaofeng's best friend, Golden Beard.
In addition, the biggest highlight of this film is the extensive participation of mainland actors. Except for a few starring actors, almost all other important roles are performed by mainland actors.
such as: Jinggang Shan Tang Fei played
Yin Xiaotian played Tangao
Liu Wei As Liu Tong
Shu Yaoxuan plays Qiao Duo Tiangong _p img9p Traitor's old drama bone Shu Yaoxuan.
Geng Le plays Yan Zijun of the Tianshan school
Why is there so much love and love in Hong Kong?And why it is no longer difficult to produce the classic martial arts movies in Hong Kong today, I think it is largely because the previous generation of Hong Kong filmmakers have retired or withered. The glory of Hong Kong films in the past cannot be separated from the hard work and hard work of the older generation of Hong Kong filmmakers. .
