The historical background of this film is naturally familiar to everyone. The film is directed by Chen Kaige, starring Zhang Fengyi, Li Xuejian, Gong Li, Sun Zhou and other well-known actors, and was released in 1999 as a historical drama. Although it's an old movie, it's still hearty to watch now, and it's a masterpiece.
The scenes in the film are magnificent, the costumes and props are exquisite, and the actors are even more emotional, showing the characters' characteristics and inner language in every gesture.
The start-up shot is based on the tragic war scene of the Warring States Period. When marking the names of the main actors and directors, the fonts are firstly written in red strokes, representing scratches on the sword, and then the full name is written, which is more aggressive.
【Chapter 1: King Qin】
The chariots are rumbling, and the spears are clanking. Thousands of horses are galloping, and the army is fighting. The earth is trampled by iron hoofs, and the gravel is like fried beans. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the sword glowed with a terrifying cold light.
At that time, Ying Zheng was already the King of Qin, and he was still rushing in front of the battle, taking the lead.
In the palace of Qin Wang, Concubine was with the Queen Mother of Qin, chatting with Prime Minister Lu Buwei.
The female queen in the lens is located in the center, and the picture is symmetrical on the left and right. Wang Zhiwen's Concubine, with a frown and a smile, naturally reveals her charming and sinister appearance, not only does not pretend to steal the show, but also portrays the character's temperament.
There was a clown-like smile on his mouth, and Zhan Zhan's eyes were full of flattery. It can be said that there is a knife hidden in a smile, and innuendo.
At the palace of the King of Qin, the minister reported that South Korea would be destroyed, and the Qin army besieged Xinzheng. At this time, the Qin army had only enough food and grass for seven days. The prime minister, Lu Buwei, made peace, fearing that Xinzheng would be wiped out and the six kingdoms would be shocked, and they would unite against Qin.
Ying Zheng, played by teacher Li Xuejian, gave people a sense of dullness at first, but a little bit of wickedness. Looking at Ying Zheng's posture of taking over the wine lord, leaning left and right, and shaking his sleeves slightly with both hands, that ancient dressing habit is already engraved in the actor's bones. It seems that Li Xuejian is the resurrection of the Terracotta Warriors.
The first second was still a naive look, and the next second, his face condensed and tears were in his eyes. For the soldiers in front of the battle to look forward to the king's order, for the generational mission of unifying the mountains and rivers, he reprimanded the ministers who were seeking peace.
At this time, it was impossible to tell whether he was the suave Li Xuejian or the high-spirited Ying Zheng in the book.
The prime minister, Lu Buwei, heard what the King of Qin said and walked away. The King of Qin took advantage of the situation to seal the prime minister, a high-ranking official, Houlu, and evaded the power of the prime minister. Looking closely at Lu Buwei's clothes, the coarse cloth under the backlight, with flashing edges, is more in line with the real weaving level of the era, not like the Chinese robes of today's film and television dramas, but more like modern weaving and making the audience play.
The King of Qin heard that Miao was afraid of heights, and ordered Miao to walk over the wooden bridge at the height of the palace wall. On the other hand, the old lady was arrogant and respectful. When the King of Qin faced him, he was very frightened. As soon as the King of Qin left, he calmly walked across the single-plank bridge. In fact, it was a play to reassure Wang Xin.
The princess played by Gong Li was originally a daughter of Zhao. And she didn't want to live the days of empty and evil in the palace. She wanted to laugh out loud, she wanted to cry wildly, she wanted to talk loudly, she didn't want to laugh at everyone, and she didn't want to be nice to everyone. Just as everyone in the world has their own aspirations, how can everything in the world go as they wish? You and I were born as human beings, often involuntarily. All things for oneself, what kind of reckless actions, not like accommodating.
A Korean painter, painted a picture of the King of Qin. But she burst into tears because of the impending demise of Korea. Facing them, the King of Qin monologues his grand ambitions:
"South Korea is about to perish, but you will have a bigger country, Qin and Liu Kingdom, where you can see and what you can't see will become a country, and all the people in the world will be the people of this country. This There is only one king in a country, a good king. This king will save the people there when the six kingdoms perish, establish prefectures and counties everywhere, let honest officials manage them, and make the land full of grains. The people can live and work in peace and contentment. Go to the frontier and build the Great Wall far away. When the Xiongnu and the four barbarians attack, they will block their horses' hooves. Then they will erect the stone wall on Mount Tai and the stone tower on the seashore to commemorate the unification of the world."
The King of Qin wanted to find an excuse to destroy Yan, unify the north, and then conquer Qi and Chu in the south. The queen offered to release Prince Dan of Yan, and then Prince Dan would send assassins to assassinate the King of Qin. In order to facilitate this, the queen asked herself to have her face tattooed to confuse Yan Dan.
【Chapter 2: Assassin】
Every day, the blind girl enjoys listening to her mother grinding beans and listening to her father and uncle forging iron. At sunset, when her brother returns from herding cattle, the whole family claps for joy and cooks around the stove. But the family members were all stabbed to death by Jing Ke, and they had no intention of living alone, but wanted to die. When he was dying, he also wanted to kill Jing Ke for revenge, but Jing Ke was left-handed and the blind girl missed a hit. From then on, Jing Ke stopped killing people.
From then on, Jing Ke was down and out in Yan City, and made a living by editing shoes. Once accidentally rescued a little beggar who stole steamed buns, but accidentally killed the owner of the steamed buns.
The official played by Pan Changjiang arrested Jing Ke when he was about to be punished, but was rescued by Zhao Nv and brought to Yan Dan.
Zhao Benshan also appeared on the scene, playing the role of a doctor who treats Jing Ke's injuries.
After Jing Ke and Zhao Nv had a one-night stand, their eyes regained their brilliance. Restored to its former glory.
【Chapter 3: Children】
Originally entrusted by the Prime Minister Lu Buwei, Aiyu pretended to be an eunuch to enter the palace, and had an affair with the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, the mother of the King of Qin.
After being discovered by the King of Qin, he wanted to assassinate the King of Qin. Concubine Shujiao, the queen, wanted to unite with Lu Buwei to usurp the country, but was sternly rejected by him. Laoshu put down the harsh words: "Let's see if your son is the king or my son is the king."
This implies that Ying Zheng is the son of Lu Buwei.
Immediately, Aiyu led his disciples to attack the palace, but was suppressed by the King of Qin with thunder.
Dialogue after being captured: Everyone in the world thinks that I am greedy for wealth. As everyone knows, it's just that you want to be my woman, and I want to be your man. If it is in the public, why not? If you are a mother, it will be difficult.
As Concubine said, the Qin prince Yiren was a proton in Zhao State in the early days, and the merchant Lu Buwei gave his concubine Zhao Ji to Yiren. At that time, Zhao Ji was pregnant, and later gave birth to politics. This death sentence can be said to be heart-wrenching. Lu Buwei hanged himself, and Ying Zheng called his father when he was dying.
If this is the case, Ying Zheng may be a native of Zhao.
But what is the significance of whether the bloodline is Qin, Zhao, or other countries? During the Warring States Period, the princes have been fighting for more than 550 years, and there must be a great emperor with great talent and strategy to realize the unification of the four seas.
King Qin's bodyguard Fan Wuqi defected to the state of Yan because of the indiscriminate killing of King Qin. His family was executed by the King of Qin from ten clans. In history, only Ming Chengzu killed the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru and added students and friends to the nine clans (three clans of the father, three clans of the mother, and three clans of the wife).
Because of this, the King of Qin angered Zhao State. Taking this as an excuse, Wang Jian was dispatched to lead a 600,000-strong army to destroy Zhao, and the army besieged Handan. The envoy Zhao, played by Wang Qianyuan, asks for help from the state of Yan.
【Chapter 4: Mrs. Zhao】
When the city of Handan in the State of Zhao was destroyed, the people of the State of Zhao vowed to die. All children under the age of ten jumped to the city to die for their country. When Mrs. Zhao arrived in Zhao State, she only saw Zhao people who were slaughtered everywhere.
After the war, the chariots of the Qin army entering the city were hung with the heads of the Zhao soldiers who had been cut off. Use human heads as proofs of merit and deeds.
Ying Zheng wanted to let those children go, but seeing that even ten-year-old children hated Qin to the core. He feared that the Zhao people would take revenge in the future, so he instructed Wang Jian to kill him.
Mrs. Zhao found Jing Ke, and her resentment against Ying Zheng made her wholehearted with revenge. She told Jing Ke and asked Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin. Jing Ke found Fan Wuqi, and the two of them drank each other. The wine was intoxicating and not intoxicating. The two knew it in their hearts. Fan Wuqi finally asked Jing Ke, "Do you know where my gate is facing?" Jing Ke replied, "Towards Qin." Fan Wuqi's defection was also helpless.
Jing Ke took out the hidden sharp blade and began to prepare to go to Qin State. Qin Wuyang is played by Ding Haifeng. Mrs. Zhao gave the dagger that Ying Zheng gave her to Jing Ke and his party, and hid it in the map.
[Chapter 5: King Qin and the Assassin]
When Qin Wuyang came to the Qin Palace, he was already trembling with fear.
On the other hand, Jing Ke behaved like a slap in the face of the market, and had already put his life and death aside.
Jing Ke calmly and calmly appeased Qin Wuyang, while going up to the palace alone.
Since this assassination was originally a trap, it might as well be a plan. Jing Ke pretended to be scared and admitted the purpose of the assassination, so as to eliminate the guard of the King of Qin.
When the ministers heard the words, they all wanted to kill Jing Ke and send troops to the state of Yan.
Seeing that the excuse for cutting Yan had been made, the King of Qin let go of his vigilance. Ask Jing Ke to come forward and present a picture.
The background music here is handled very well. During the exhibition process, the drums are first played to create a tense atmosphere. When the dagger saw the picture and Jing Ke struggled to strike, the climax music suddenly started, like a galloping horse.
Jing Ke missed the first blow, then struck again, and all three strikes were avoided by the King of Qin. The two walked around the column.
In the end, Jing Ke threw the dagger for the sword, but found that the saber had already been replaced by a broken sword.
The King of Qin took the opportunity to draw out his sword in his back and stabbed several times before knocking down Jing Ke.
At this time, King Qin removed the robe, which was lined with soft armor.
Jing Ke couldn't stop laughing, and the King of Qin asked in a daze:
"What are you laughing at? Why do you want to kill me? Do you know what I'm going to do? I want to build a bigger country, and the places that Qin and Liuguo can see and cannot see become one country. "
Jing Ke replied:
"Fan Wuqi asked me to give you a word. He didn't tell anyone about the secrets of the Dazheng Palace. He keeps his word than you."
In the end, Nv Zhao took away Jing Ke's corpse, and the King of Qin fulfilled his great wish to unify the six kingdoms, build the Great Wall, establish prefectures and counties, raze the four sides, and confide in the sea.
【Dream】
After watching the movie, Xu Ming's "Dream of the Ancient Times" cycled through the single, and my thoughts drifted to the sky more than 2,000 years ago with the sound of the matouqin...
Reminds me of the sentence in Chairman Mao's "Qinyuanchun·Xue": I cherish the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but lose the literary talent. Tang Zong and Song Zu were slightly less coquettish.
Including Chairman Mao, these great men are all giants who have only been born for hundreds of years. They have been endowed with a sacred and unshakable mission by the times, carrying forward the past and forging ahead, leading countless heroes to expand their territories and conquer the world. What a song and cry this is, Jing Xing Xing Xingzhi!
Of course I dare not say that everything they do can be praised. There are bloodshed, bones, mountains, overcorrection, and prejudice.
But as a grain of sand at this moment in the vast river of history, how can I not feel that I was born as a human being, like a great sun and a firefly.
As for Jing Ke, who was originally a commoner, he would definitely not have a unique space in the boundless history, but because of his feats of drawing and seeing, he has left a name in the history. Alas! Good luck!
Besides, the actors in this film, with their expressive expressions and eyebrows, seem to be people in history, they are really alive, it's amazing! Rejoice!
