Speaking of Hu Jinquan, if aside from "Yutangchun" and "Children of the Earth", which is a flattering theme, "Drunken Man" can be regarded as his first directing work that really brought into play his strengths and received enthusiastic responses, and martial arts movies have since taken off. This is the end of his Shaw Brothers journey, but it turned Shaw Brothers' focus from Huangmei tune to martial arts, and opened up another period of market monopoly.
Hu Jinquan has two favorites, both of which are presented in "Drunken Man", one is the inn, and the other is the heroine. The main scene of this film is Gaosheng Inn, and one of the protagonists is Jin Yanzi played by Zheng Peipei. Everyone knows that Hu Dao's two famous works at home and abroad, one "Dragon Gate Inn" and one "Chivalrous Girl", are the ultimate manifestation of these two favorites.
Compared with Shangguan Lingfeng and Xu Feng, who were found in Taiwan in the later period, Zheng Peipei's performance in this film can be described as amazing.
At the beginning of the film, Yin Zhongyu, the second head of the jade-faced tiger with a white face, dressed in white, walked slowly up the hill, stood still, raised his fan, and stopped the officers who were escorting the prisoner. In this opening scene, Chen Honglie's appearance is very grand, it seems unfathomable and extraordinary, although in fact his kung fu is not very good.
Then the main character Jin Yanzi appeared, the bridge was flowing, the lightning flashed and thunder, and the hollow bamboo-brimmed hat with the hat strap fluttered along the river. At a glance, you can see that the kung fu is very good. If the woman does not let her men, the person who provokes her will definitely not end well.
She walked slowly into the Gaosheng Inn, walked to the empty table, looked left and right, pushed aside the stool, pressed the table with both hands, sat down slowly, took off the bag, took out the fan, looked around again, and called the man.
The classic inn fight has begun, and the charm is worth reconsidering.
The smiling tiger led the people to surround Jin Yanzi in the center, opened the tiger fan, and the white-eyed wolf threw a jar of wine, Jin Yanzi slammed into the arms of the Sangmen God, the Sangmen God couldn't bear it, and sat on the ground; the Sangmen God threw a few Jin Yanzi took all the copper coins with a chopstick, strung them together, and put them on the table, with a dashing movement; bald head threw a stool, Jin Yanzi shot a little, the stool changed direction, smashed at the god of death, and smashed the wine jar Broken; Knife Scar and Gu Feng both took out the copper coin and threw it behind Jin Yanzi, but Jin Yanzi nailed the copper coin to the beam with three chopsticks, and moved quickly, then opened the fan, caught the copper coin, and poured it on the table Gu Feng asked for the money, Jin Yanzi took it, and the copper money was embedded on the plaque of the inn. Zheng Peipei was as steady as Mount Tai, without saying a word, but dominated the whole situation.
The smiling tiger opened the tiger fan again, seven or eight strong men surrounded Jin Yanzi, Jin Yanzi pretended to pour the wine, poured the wine behind him, took advantage of this to pull out the two short swords in his boots, and used Beijing opera's ingenious skills to hide the swords, see you again Double knives attacked, turned around a few times and stabbed them in their left hands one after another, and then a wave of Harriers turned over, ushering in a thousand knives, only to hear the sound of gold and iron fighting, seven or eight people all fell down, and the scars hid on the second floor , A few shots of the mourning nails were knocked down, Jin Yanzi lowered his head, and the hidden weapon was embedded in the wooden board. Jin Yanzi returned a golden swallow, which went straight into the palm of Scar's right hand. Laughing Tiger shot himself, and after a few strokes, his left hand was also stabbed, and the sword was inserted into the table behind him.
The whole fighting process is not sloppy and neat, making people feel that Hu Jinquan's scene scheduling and editing are well done.
But Hu Jinquan is more modest, saying that the whole filming did not pay too much attention to action guidance, and to be precise, the concept has not yet been formed. It is more able to play the elegant and flexible posture of the female swordsman, and the martial arts are like dancing. In fact, Hu Jinquan has a military commander, that is Han Yingjie.
The gangster in the inn is really a classic, but the title is "Drunken Man", so the role of the drunk cat Fan Dabei is the key point. His entanglement with his senior brother Diao Jingtang will be dragged to the end. Hu Jinquan's title of "Drunken Man" is presented by the arias of Beijing opera.
Just listen to Fan Dabei leading a group of children to sing: green bamboo poles, thin and long, from south to north, I roam the world, the wind and rain hit the sun, begging along the door, I eat the four directions, eat and eat the four directions, see through the situation and the situation. Yanliang, high officials and riches do not want to, the fame and wealth are left to him, life has to use yellow mud soup, life has no choice but to use yellow mud soup, whether it is Huadiao, sorghum, a cup in hand I forget everything, so many sad things in the world, in the belly of the gourd, Often drunk often, often drunk often, often drunk often.
The drunk cat can not only sing drunk songs, but also sing current affairs, and even riddles, such as the clues to Jin Yanzi, one point and one horizontal, one stroke to Nanyang, cross to cross, sun to moon, which is the traditional temple character .
The temple is also a favorite of Hu Jinquan. "Empty Mountain Lingyu" is the proof. The scene in this film, Erguangji Temple, is also very stylish. There is a mountain behind the temple. The architecture is elegant and full of style. The relatively simple place is the drunken cat's seclusion, and at first glance it is known that it is a setting.
It is always said that Hu Jinquan's innovation in martial arts, one is the gorgeous fighting, the use of Beijing opera, and the second is the use of real scenes (outside scenes), not limited to Shaw Brothers Studios, to avoid the stereotyped single scene.
