Chapter 256 Lao Hu? Yang Guo?(1/2)
"Brother, what's going on with that "One-Armed Knife"?"
"Actually, this matter...you ask you Sister Yaya."
"Teacher Wang, you'd better tell me."
While still on the plane, Wang Yu couldn't be lonely.
Feifei is chattering and curious about many things. Among them, the relationship between "One-Armed Knife" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" cannot be avoided.
Now, they both hope that Wang Yu will talk.
Then let’s talk about it.
"Actually, it's quite simple. Just by looking at the plot of these two works, you can understand it..."
Wang Yu really started talking.
"The One-Armed Knife" is adapted from "The Return of the Condor Heroes", which is quite obvious. In terms of plot, it is probably very similar.
For example, the male protagonist Fang Gang was bullied at the beginning, but the head of the sect wanted to make him the head, and he had a certain relationship with the daughter of the head.
Unfortunately, after an incident happened, the daughter of the head looked down on him and made things difficult for him. She joined forces with her brothers and cut off his arm.
Aren’t these plots just the matter between Yang Guo, Guo Fu and Dawu?
Later, I met a girl named Xiaoman.
This little man is obviously similar to Xiaolongnu, who teaches the protagonist the martial arts attribute. Of course, the martial arts and other things inside are a map.
Later, Fang Gang came back and showed his power and rescued the head and daughter of the head. This was basically Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu participated in the battle in Xiangyang City, and Feishi killed Meng Ge.
Of course, the adaptation of "One-Armed Knife" was very successful and absolutely cannot constitute plagiarism. The whole story is also a new story, but it can be clearly seen that it was derived from "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Moreover, Ni Kuang and Master Jin were friends, and adapted into this way can be said to be a completely independent story. Master Jin doesn’t pursue it, so naturally others can’t say anything.
Wang Yu explained these analysis, and Feifei and Yaya were fascinated by listening to it.
"So, what afterwards?"
"Yes, Teacher Wang will say more."
Wang Yu was a little surprised, "Yaya, don't you know?"
It is obvious that Lao Wang said this because the answer Feifei said before is the source of the answer.
When Yaya heard this, she felt a little embarrassed, "Well, I just did some research."
In this way, she had already started preparing for Wang Yu's preparations when she heard that Wang Yu was going to film "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
After hearing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but nodded. Yaya's behavior was quite good.
So, let’s talk more about it next.
"This movie was very popular back then, and this popularity was not only because of the plot of the movie, but also the two people, the director of this movie, Mr. Zhang Cheung, and the male lead of this movie, Wang Yu."
Wang Yu mentioned before that Mr. Zhang Che's martial arts films have a unique aesthetic... well, shirtless.
Well, it's actually the actors who want to leak muscles.
You should know that the moment of filming this movie was around 1965. At this point in time, Hong Kong martial arts movies were in a rapid evolution process.
Be careful, this is in the process.
In the past, martial arts was about Cao Dahua. That’s right, the tiger of the serious crime team.
Cao Dahua was really the number one big shot back then. Without him, he wouldn't watch martial arts movies.
He has also appeared in many classic movies.
Among them, in "Huang Feihong", Cao Dahua's Liang Kuan is actually the real attraction of this series of movies.
Mr. Guan Dexing was old when he played Wong Feihong. Of course, although he was so old, he was also very outstanding at the time in terms of skills. Looking at his "Wong Feihong", it was obvious that Wong Feihong's action speed was much faster than other characters.
However, when Guan Dexing is old, he will inevitably lack vitality, but the role of Liang Kuan is different.
Liang Kuan, who caused trouble in the movie, was very fond of him.
Later, Liang Kuan died, and the "Huang Feihong" series was no longer possible.
Later, we saw Xu Laoqian's "Huang Feihong".
And because of Liang Kuan as the foundation, Cao Dahua later gained the glory of "Tathagata's Palm".
The tiger of the Crime Squad is really not a false reputation.
but!
In those days, all martial arts films were at most a troupe, or a powerful figure like Guan Dexing. To be honest... Mr. Guan's Huang Feihong was always talking about flirting with his vagina and so on when fighting. As for Foshan's shadowless feet, it was a trick to deceive people.
From this perspective, Mr. Guan and Chen Hegao's unlimited fighting resonated with each other very much.
But, can such a martial arts movie work?
Later, several great directors appeared, each with their own styles, including Mr. Hu Jinquan's beautiful pictures, Mr. Zhang Che's sense of power, and Chu Yuan's... interior scene.
Well, when Mr. Zhang Cheung was filming, he had no martial arts commandments, it all depends on the actor's own strength, and he even opposed martial arts commandments.
He hadn't achieved much success before, until "One-Armed Knife", the film achieved a record-breaking box office at the time.
Another key is that Zhang Che met Wang Yu.
Wang Yu is an athlete himself. He looks very handsome, and his muscles are clear and angular. The key is that he is not that scary.
That is, the block is not big, but the visual effect is good.
As soon as he appeared, he was furious.
Many little girls are very fascinated by him.
Face control and muscle control can all be found in him.
In other words, the success of "One-Armed Knife" is the plot of the script, the director's aesthetics, and the protagonist is outstanding.
These reasons are combined to obtain it!
This naturally gave Wang Yu a great inspiration. Until now, he has been doing martial arts dramas according to this standard.
Whether it is the plot, casting, or your own aesthetic.
He tries to do his best.
As for the opponent Zhang Dahuzi, that is a counterexample.
It should be said that Zhang Dahuzi's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still remarkable, but unfortunately, his Guo Jing and Huang Rong are too unpopular.
Feifei and Yaya finished listening to these things, and they were fascinated, but they still felt that it was not enough.
"What happened later?"
"Teacher Wang, let me tell you again..."
Look at these two people, you guys... Forget it, Wang Yu then gave an interesting explanation.
"Later, Wang Yu was really good, because Shaw Brothers paid the actors too low. He was furious and stole many Shaw Brothers' contracts and burned them.
This violated the law. This old man was used to being a hero. He didn't think so much. When the police came to him, he had to leave first. He ran to Taiwan and could never return to Hong Kong in his entire life."
This ending...
Feifei and Yaya were startled at first, and then they couldn't help laughing.
Is this actually happening?
But this is really the truth, and it happened. It is precisely because of this that many brothers and sisters appeared in "One-Armed Knife", among which Wang Yu, played it, and even went to Japan and had a fight with Zutou City.
One-armed sword fights Zuotou City.
This is probably one of the most bizarre movies. It is said that the Japanese version is Zutou City and killed the one-armed sword, while the Hong Kong and Taiwan version is Zutou City.
There is really no bottom line in order to make money.
After saying this, the two girls laughed even more.
Just like that, it was quite joyful to come all the way from the sky.
...
When he came to Hong Kong again, Wang Yu was already aware of the way.
He was very direct and went to find Cai Yinon immediately.
"Why do you guys have to look for her?"
"Is there any problem? Don't she want to star in the show? She is very valuable?"
"This, that's not."
"Then what do you mean?"
Cai Yinon had a strange emotion towards Wang Yu.
Hate this guy?
It seems that it really won't be.
To be continued...
