In an interview, Mr. Li Rengang said that he really cried when he watched Kurosawa Akira's "Shadow Warrior". And the scene of tears is: As the thief of Takeda Shingen's shadow, when he finally understood the spirit of the deity at the last moment, the general trend of the deity was gone, and the flag of Fenglin and volcano was left behind, along the river full of blood to the distance. Drifting away, stealing to recover, trying to keep the flag of the Takeda family, but helpless, he was also shot by random arrows and lost his life, as a shadow stealer followed his deity with the east passing water. And go. The defeat of Takeda Shingen to Oda Nobunaga was the defeat of the glorious knight against the ruthless musket, that is, the defeat of the classical ritual music to the modern ritual collapse. Mr. Li Rengang shed tears for this. It can be seen that he is still a nostalgic person, living in the dream of the passing ritual and music to rule the world. This old, well-cared for, at least he knows that there are still many good memories in the past, which are worth cherishing. remembrance. Li Rengang asked Zhao Zilong through the mouth of Zhuge Liang from "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor": "We are also getting old, and we all rely on some good memories of the past to live. When you go to the battlefield this time, you are not afraid of even these memories. , have you lost it?" Zhao Zilong in the film replied: "The veteran has been fighting for many years, and some memories are long gone. Since the memories of the veteran are lost on the battlefield, then they will be found on the battlefield." I I think this scene is Li Rengang's affectionate letter to Kurosawa Akira's "Shadow Warrior". It turns out that Mr. Li Rengang's battlefield, like Akira Kurosawa, is in the twenty-four memories of the movie. It is no wonder that he used the trilogy of "Flying Saucer Hats" called by unknown audiences to make a consistent memorial to the classical era.
Li Rengang's reminiscence of the classical era through "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor", "Jin Yiwei" and "Hongmen Banquet" can actually be summarized into three key words: career crisis, mission crisis and trust crisis. Through his understanding of the ancients, he can see how the ancients dealt with these three crises through the perspective of the ancients, and what was the state of the ancients when they dealt with these three crises.
It is said that Li Rengang is a romantic martial arts director. In fact, it can be further stated more accurately: he should be a nostalgic director of the romantic martial arts, and martial arts is just an inaccurate shell. "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor" should be the ultimate manifestation of Li's romantic memorial. Think about it, a person who is known as a general who is always victorious will lose his last battle in the face of Kenneng. When he was fighting a battle, he could still take it lightly, riding his horse with resolute eyes, raising his spear, finishing the last leg, and calmly finishing a battle that was almost impossible to win. To borrow the words of Mr. Li Rengang: This is the romance on the battlefield, dedicating one's own body. In the film, Zhao Zilong looked at the Buddha statue with his eyes twitching and said, "I, Zhao Zilong, have never been a victorious general, but if I don't win, how can I lose?" When facing someone whom he respects but betrays his elder brother because of jealousy , neither angry nor blamed, just sighed indifferently: "I am like you, I have walked a big circle that took decades to complete." Success or failure, honor and disgrace, trust, betrayal, life and death, can be in one's own career. In the face of such a crisis, it can still be regarded as the reincarnation of flowers blooming in spring and withering leaves in autumn. Is there anyone in the world who faces a career crisis more brilliant than this? This is Zhao Zilong in the eyes of Li Rengang when he is facing a crisis in his career. He can be said to be flattered and humiliated. He sees success and failure as usual in the four seasons, just like a Confucian famous person who sacrifices his life for righteousness and achieves benevolence.
With "Jin Yiwei", which was released after "Seeing the Dragon", the male protagonist continued to follow Zhao Zilong's road to success in "Seeing the Dragon". However, this time the male protagonist encountered a crisis of mission. Telling the story of a man's mission achievement, the most moving part should be the process of how a man transforms the mission in his hand from an order to a mission. The crisis of the mission occurs on the rough road from the order to the mission, "Jin Yiwei" "belongs to this type. A Jinyiwei, from the introduction in the history textbook, it is not known how the relationship between their peers is, but it is said that doing the work at hand can give them the so-called sense of mission. It is estimated that few military commanders in the Republic of China were mentioned. They do their work with the three words of a sense of mission. Could it be that the assassination of Shi Liangcai, a national newspaper reporter, is also due to the spy's sense of mission to 'defend the home and the country'? Therefore, it is very likely that the fate of being a spy is to live as a tool and die as a tool. They are expensive consumables in the hands of political bigwigs. Therefore, at the beginning of "Jinyiwei", he used the narration to say bluntly: Jinyiwei, under the leadership of the wise master, they can defend the family and the country, but when the emperor is incompetent, they become frightening. As soon as this narration came out, it set the tone of the whole film three-pointed sadness. It is precisely because of this that a "tool" who used to lick blood all day long and lived a precarious life, began to wake up on the way of a failed mission and realized that he could not only live as a tool, but also as a defender of the family and the country. When he was a chivalrous man, his sympathy for the living beings could be more moving because of this. Some friends think that the most touching moment of "Jin Yiwei" is that Qinglong and Tuotuo perish together. This is understandable, because heroes cherish heroes and each has its own master, so the two perish together as enemies together is the most romantic destination. But what I think is the most touching moment of "Jinyiwei" is when the judge and Qinglong fought, and asked Qinglong: What do you want to grab? Qinglong pondered for a moment, and answered loudly: Dignity! At this moment, Qinglong is glorious and moving. On the way to the failure of his recovery mission, he finally knew why he was fighting, not only for the orders he shouldered as Jinyiwei, but also for the safety of the country, lest life be devastated by the war. Back then, the United States made a documentary "Why We Fight" during World War II, in order to tell those soldiers that they are not just tools and consumables, and to solve the mission identity crisis of the soldiers. Therefore, in "Jin Yiwei", Li Rengang uses the role of Qinglong to give a solution to the crisis of the mission: the great hero, for the country and the people, and asking for orders for the people, is to be a benevolent person. Suddenly I felt that from the role of Qinglong, I saw the shadow of Qiao Feng in Jin Yong's works, and I also felt
Biography of the Assassin", in it, there are mostly lonely warriors who failed. Speaking of this, some people say that the Hongmen Banquet changed the meal to a game of chess, but what I want to say is that this scene of changing the Hongmen Banquet from a dinner to a chess game is the historical event of the Hongmen Banquet in the past 15 years. The most successful scene that has been changed is for nothing else. Isn't this change a high-level summary of this historical event? A dinner game is like a chess game. I believe that if there are friends who have been tormented by a dinner game for a long time, they will definitely have a sympathy for the drama of turning Hongmen Banquet into a chess game. Isn't the dinner game that we Chinese people have now exactly the chess game? When it comes to drinking and guessing, what is important is to hide the truth between business friends at the same table. It is precisely because of this that the crisis of trust among modern Chinese people is a bad start from Liu Bang. It is not that no one has done anything about Liu Bang before, but Liu Bang did it, and the impact is the worst. The characteristics of ruffian and rogue who founded the country, Liu Bang was the first, ruffian and rogue, what they want is to be kidnapped in the market, and Liu Bang successfully brought these to the temples of the nobles. It is said that the Hongmen Banquet was a turning point between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and at the Hongmen Banquet, what did the weak Liu Bang rely on to hide from Xiang Yu and survive? Then you can only cheat. What, is the best tool for performing deception? Chess game! There are so many things in ancient and modern times, in strategizing, relying on whoever is the best in the chess game and deceives the opponent. In "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", the chess game is a high-level summary of the current crisis of trust in the Chinese people. In the film, Yu Ji said to Liu Bang: Do you know the price of going to the meeting? Liu Bang turned his head, paused, and left. It seems that Yu Ji is the most sober person in the whole film. Because she knows men's scams, but she would rather choose to believe them. It can only be understood that the character Yu Ji is a friend of the vase in the film, he has not understood it yet. In the film, when Liu Bang was dying, he said to Zhang Liang, who he once wanted to frame: When I was no longer trusted, Li Rengang looked at this liar with pity. Perhaps, showing mercy to the deceiver is the way to solve the crisis of trust between people! Sometimes forgiveness and trust go hand in hand. At the end of the film, in Zhang Liang's imagination, Xiang Yu and Concubine Yu embraced each other again. I actually felt that this scene was like Ruth, who had experienced disasters and calamities. After getting rid of the shackles of British aristocracy, she set foot on American soil and looked at the Statue of Liberty. Like the indifference of time.
In eight days, Director Li's "The Lion in the Sky" will be released. The confrontation between the Han Dynasty army and the Roman army is very exciting. I hope that Director Li can play normally this time and have a good movie at the beginning of the year. Give it a boost. The propaganda said that the story selection this time was about peacekeeping and peace. Director Li took another step in the right direction on the way to the north to make a film. Who is it that the central government is now advocating a harmonious society? Oh, no, the ideal of pursuing peace and harmony has existed in our country since ancient times, and I have never seen what is said in "The Journey of the Dao": In the journey of the Dao, the world is public, the worthy and the able are selected, and the faith is cultivated. It seems that Li Rengang wants to cultivate the rhythm of becoming a hero of the country and the people every minute in the movie!
