The era of "Huang Feihong": In my mind, Huang Feihong created by Xu Kejia and Jet Li is the ten tigers of Guangdong, the head of the civic group, No. 8 Chengnan Street, Foshan, specializing in stab wounds and beatings, giving medicines to doctors, and carrying forward the spirit of Chinese art. Huang Feihong, the second-generation descendant of Bao Zhilin, who is a permanent teacher and abusive! In the minds of many audiences, Jet Li is Huang Feihong. Compared with the previous versions, the plot, martial arts play, and ideology involved in this series of films are all very broad, and the design is complicated and exquisite. It is said that in order to write lively emotional dramas, the crew also specially invited female screenwriters to help out. What is certain is that from the very beginning of shooting this series, I spared no expense, spared no effort, and strived for perfection! Here I want to state the essentials according to the order of shooting. (1) The heart is like a deer bumping, tangled and helpless: The emergence of "High Aspirations" turned out to make all movie audiences shine. This is how a new generation of Huang Feihong appeared on the big screen. Jet Li, who played Huang Feihong, became the focus at the time. Andy Lau's words hit the nail on the head: "What others can't do, he did it." Facing the waves with pride, blood is like the red sun. This master Huang is refined, determined and personable. Facing a strong enemy, he is never afraid, wise and brave, and he will feel full of courage when he looks at him. However, facing a woman named Aunt Thirteen, the hero couldn't help feeling like a deer. I remember this scene, in the light of Huang Feihong's thirteenth aunt while she was dreaming of why the foreign country had advanced, and gently stroked his shadow with her hand. Feihong turned around and asked, "Anything is good in foreign countries. Why do you come back?" Aunt Thirteen immediately stopped and pretended to write something shyly. "There are things here that are not in foreign countries." Feihong: "Nothing in foreign countries?" Thirteen The aunt turned her face to look at him, her eagerness to confess her eyebrows and her eyes jumped to the corner of her eyebrows and her eyes: "Human." One sentence caused Huang Feihong to take a breath and immediately turned back to look at the wall. He saw the shadow of Aunt Thirteen approaching, as if he was about to kiss him behind his back, and immediately turned around in a panic, only to find that she was going to measure her clothes. Seeing this, I can't help but smile with my palms, Huang Feihong, you are in a dilemma, and your heart is moving! But the heart-pounding emotional scene was very short, because when the camera turned around, Huang Feihong turned on the fan in his hand. The fan was placed between him and the thirteenth aunt, and the "Unequal Treaty" was written on it. The movie is using a fan to remind the audience that the sense of honor and disgrace in Feihong's family and the world prevents him from fully relaxing to accept the love affair of children. Seeing the mountains and rivers turbulent in the wind and rain, seeing the foreign aggression and the impotence of the imperial court, and the woman next to him in a dress and playing with foreign gadgets touches his country's worries from time to time. Aunt Thirteen feels that “otherwise everyone knows what we don’t know.” Cameras, railways, steam engines... will be inevitable sooner or later, so she actively and even obsessively touches “foreign things”. This is her patriotic way, and it is also a reflection of her innocence. She saw that advanced foreign culture can make the country progress, but she didn't realize that these "foreign gadgets" entered the country along with foreign guns and opium. But this other side was what Huang Feihong saw. His resistance was finally taken by the thirteenth aunt, making the "no" on the fan. The word broke out when it was burned by the fire. This is the most powerful fire of Huang Feihong I have ever seen. This is stronger than his reaction when being provoked or persecuted. If the thirteenth aunt's status as an elder is the reason why he respects and protects her, but also discourages him; then the foreignization of her thoughts and love for Western things are Feihong's forbearance and hardship. He loves her, but he has to bear responsibility on one shoulder and sorrow on the other. It is really "affectionate and fraternity dilemma." Aunt Thirteen is a naive and tender woman. When pouring tenderness on such a resolute and introverted hero, it was doomed to her helplessness. However, her cuteness is also reflected in her persistent pursuit of this relationship. There are many characters in this play, such as Liang Kuan who first arrived in the provincial capital, Feihong's apprentices, the theater owner and the Shahe Gang. And what I want to talk about most is Yan Zhendong. This is a martial artist who wants to fight for fame and fortune, but excuses himself. He said that he can do chivalrous things after standing still, which is clearly an excuse. From the point of view of kung fu, he is strong enough. After many trials, I believe he also understands this. However, his personality made him not allow anyone to be stronger than himself. So hit all the way. It is said that Tsui Hark felt unable to hold back when he first wrote about him. I think the choreographer is really "angry it without fighting and lamenting its misfortune". Master Yan is a man who fought for fame and wealth. At first glance, there was no major fault, but the editor told us that he would abandon his dignity for fame and wealth. When he became the master of the Shahe Gang on a foreigner's boat, he was actually an eagle dog who helped the evildoer. In addition, his iron cloth shirt kung fu is the representative of fierceness in martial arts. Such good kungfu died in the guns of foreigners; "Huang Feihong, no matter how good your kung fu is, I can't match foreign guns." His line, accompanied by Feihong's angry and sad eyes, hit my audiovisual, shocked My mind. The Hong Kong production community has shown strong national consciousness in this series of films, making the Chinese people sigh!
