It is said that when Jin Yong learned that Zhou Xingchi was the candidate to play Wei Xiaobao in Wang Jing's "The Deer and Ding Ding", he faxed a handwritten letter to Yongsheng Film, which read: "Don't think of the second person!" It can also be seen that Jin Yong also expressed concern for Zhou Xingchi. The acting is very recognized. This period is also the "honeymoon period" of Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jing. Many of the films they have collaborated on are called and popular. Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical style and Wang Jing's feces, urine and fart comedy stories are a perfect match. In 1992, Stephen Chow's performance style was basically finalized. The "Deer and Ding" series was actually more successful than the "Westward Journey" series at that time. The two works received a total of 77.44 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which is much higher than the 45.96 million Hong Kong dollars of the "Westward Journey" series (the latter lost money that year). 3. Wang Jing, the "most unserious" and Zhou Xingchi, the "most unserious", interpret Jin Yong's "most unserious" novels. "The Lu Ding Ji" is Jin Yong's last full-length work, and it is also the most indecent one of his novels. It was once suspected of being a ghostwriter when it was serialized, but the "public anger" was quelled only after Jin Yong's confirmation. The anti-hero image of Wei Xiaobao is created in the novel. Unlike the male protagonists in Jin Yong's other works, he basically has zero martial arts. Jin Yong closely linked the history of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty with the story of this little man. It is difficult to distinguish what is real history and what is fiction. Zhou Xingchi has always been good at small characters, which coincides with Wei Xiaobao. He rescued his idol by chance. Chapter Sutra. Wei Xiaobao originally wanted to apply for a job as a handyman, but was arrested by Hai Dafu, the chief eunuch, to be an eunuch. The golden supporting actor Wu Mengda plays Hai Dafu, which is different from the villain in the novel. In the movie, this is a funny character who is both good and evil. Wang Jing designed these two funny stunts, the Bone-Bone Cotton Palm and the Baifa Baizhong Piercing Dragon Claw Hand, which have been imitated in the future. Hai Dafu was also looking for the "Forty-two Chapters Classic". He knew that the book was placed in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, so he sent Wei Xiaobao to investigate, but Wei Xiaobao accidentally encountered Emperor Kangxi and Princess Jianning. Because of Aobai's arrogance and domineering, Kangxi and him have become incompatible, and they want to plot to get rid of him. In the film, Wang Jing did not hesitate to invest a lot of pen and ink to create the powerful and invincible momentum of Obai from the beginning of the film. Xu Jinjiang has played many villains, and the appearance of Ao Bai is the most attractive. Therefore, many people know Xu Jinjiang from this movie. Aobai is undoubtedly one of Xu Jinjiang's most classic images. The Leopard in Bread Blue Sky can also be seen as a continuation of this image. No wonder it is still discovered by netizens today and spoofed into a Chinese version of Santa Claus. In history, the fact that Kangxi won Aobai is the beginning of Kangxi's ruling career, and it is also his most worthy of praise, which has been talked about by historians all the time. At that time, he selected a group of relatives and nobles, practiced wrestling and fighting in the palace, and summoned Ao Bai to the palace to ask him to train. Ao Bai thought it was just the emperor's playfulness, and he didn't put it on the above, so he went happily, never expecting this to be a trick given to him by Kangxi. Kangxi gave an order, and more than a dozen strong men around him rushed up, and Ao Bai was caught off guard and was taken down miserably. The film does not restore history, nor does it follow Jin Yong's novels, but presents it in a funny way like Wang Jing. Wei Xiaobao offered a plan to use Hai Dafu to deal with Ao Bai, but unexpectedly Hai Dafu lost to Ao Bai's strength. Ao Bai chased Wei Xiaobao and ran into the Cining Palace, but was subdued by the fake queen mother in the palace. It turned out that the Shenlong Sect was also tempted by the "Forty-two Chapters", and sent the disciple Long'er to sneak into the palace to capture and lock up the Queen Mother, and disguised herself as the Queen Mother to find the "Forty-two Chapters". This set of "Forty-two Chapters" has a total of eight copies, and it is not easy to collect them all. This is why neither Hai Dafu nor Long'er could collect them. Later, Wei Xiaobao exposed Long'er's identity to Kangxi, and Long'er had to flee in a hurry. Fourth, Wang Jing changed roles willfully, and achieved two classics. We found out that it was Zhang Min who played the fake queen mother in "The Legend of the Deer", while Lin Qingxia was the one who played Long'er in "The Legend of the Deer". Only Wang Jing could have dreamed of such a show of changing roles halfway through. It turned out that Cheng Xiaodong's "Swordsman 2: The Undefeated of the East" was released on June 26, 1992, and Lin Qingxia's role of the invincible in the East was an instant hit. At that time, "The Lu Ding Ji" was also confirmed to be released on July 30, and Wang Jing smelled business opportunities. , urgently looking for Brigitte Lin to make a cameo at the end of the film, and determined that she will play the role of Longer in the sequel. In "The Legend of the Deer 2: Dragon Sect", we not only see Lin Qingxia's re-enactment of the dragon's image of the undefeated Dongfang, but also see Wei Xiaobao copy the classic shape of the undefeated Dongfang in the final battle. A parody of Undefeated. Wen Zhaolun, who played Kangxi, was almost replaced by Wang Jing. Because Wen Zhaolun was determined to play Kangxi, Wang Jing was not satisfied. Although Wen Zhaolun was TVB's "The No. 1 Traitor in Hong Kong Drama", he was not well-known in the film circle, so Wang Jing still hoped to find a big name to play the role. . It is said that one of the Four Heavenly Kings (Pi Ge seriously suspected that it was Andy Lau) expressed his willingness to act, and Wang Jing wanted to replace Wen Zhaolun. However, this idea was eventually rejected by Xiang Huaqiang, who felt that it was dishonest and did not keep his word. confirmed Don't change it, so in the end it was Xiang Huaqiang who kept Wen Zhaolun. Because the early roles were all villains, Wen Zhaolun, who was afraid of being stereotyped by the role, slowly started to "walk the right way" after turning over with "I Am Kind". "The Lu Ding Ji" is his attempt to transform into the film industry. But at that time, the competition in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was quite fierce, and it was difficult for TV actors to gain a foothold in the film industry. Although Wen Zhaolun's performance in the film was remarkable, it was a pity that he could not get better roles after that. 5. The "Deer and Ding Ji", which is closest to Jin Yong's original work, may not exist again in the future. Hong Kong film production in the 1990s was very attentive, and many big investments would choose to shoot the second and second episodes. "The Lu Ding Ji" is one of the better ones, and it is also considered to be a classic version closest to Jin Yong's original work.
