In the 1970s, during the heyday of Hong Kong kung fu movies, martial arts were often the starting point for a film's creation. Yuen Biao once said: "At that time, we had a scene to show an evil and desperate action, and we rarely considered the unreasonable problem of literary and opera." At that time, a wonderful fight or a rare weapon could be used. Become a theme that supports a movie, such as "Crazy Monkey", "Blood Drops"... Even the "Snake Shaped Hand" and "Drunken Boxer" directed by Yuan Heping are not clever in terms of the title. , But if you taste it carefully, the literary play of these two plays is quite impressive.
Let's talk about "Drunken Fist". It was called "Drunken Fist", but in the first half of the story, she didn't mention Drunk Fist. It was not until Yuan Xiaotian beat Jackie Chan torturously that he was awarded Drunken Fist. It turns out that drunken fist is fictitious, fictitious, and real. You use softness to overcome strength and win in defeat, so you have to learn to beat before you learn drunken fist. In the end, Jackie Chan and Yan Tiexin fought decisively, drank Su Qier's three-whip wine, and after exhausting his tricks, he created a set of He Xianguquan. The masters make moves, and in the end they often have no move to win, just like a lone lonely undefeated, without a sword in his hand, and no sword in his heart. The battle between Zhang Wuji and Xuan Ming at the end of "Tale of the Dragon Slayer" is also true. These martial arts are naturally wonderful, but if compared to Liu Jialiang's real kung fu, Jackie Chan's fist embroidering his legs is really meaningless.
However, "Drunken Fist" in the literary and opera part is a classic. Among other things, Shan Yuanping's use of the ancient song "General Order" as the soundtrack has already had groundbreaking significance. According to Baye, this is the first time "General Order" has been used in a movie because it can make people excited. As a result, later famous artists followed suit one after another. Liu Jialiang used it in "Crazy Monkey", and was later filled in by Huang Zhan, and became a popular golden song "A Man Should Be Self-improvement" sung all over the country.
In terms of plot, "Drunken Fist" does not blindly focus on the display of kung fu, even in the process of display, it is full of funny things. For example, Yuan Xiaotian taught Jackie Chan's various methods when he practiced, and these have already been talked about a lot, so I won't repeat them here. Other details, such as Jackie Chan being punished, Shi Tian as a supervisor, plucked a feather duster and tickled him, using the idiom "chicken feathers as an arrow". But these are just fur.
Throughout the whole piece of literary drama, it is only Yuan Xiaotian and Jackie Chan that they have the most wonderful pairing of poems with wine. When I read "the shadow becomes three people", a shot hits Yuan Xiaotian's shadow on the wall, and when he reads "If you want to drink the pipa immediately," Jackie Chan is already drunk on the "horse" (stool). Up. This passage describes the relationship between estrangement and closeness between the master and the apprentice, and it is very appropriate.
