Do you still need ＂martial arts＂ in this era？
Original Ma Xiangyu Independent Fish Movie
It is said that domestic martial arts have declined.
The reason is simple, there is no successor.
After the death of Jin Yong’s pen-sealing Gu Long, its heyday was gone.
The most popular martial arts works on the market, whether literature or film and television, are under their shadow.
However, in recent years, a novel has emerged, which makes people feel the true rivers and lakes and the true martial arts.
So that since the announcement of film and television three years ago, it has been receiving much attention.
Some people are worried that it will be smashed and the original work will be destroyed;
Some people can’t wait to stay up late to brush the drama.
This is the one that just started broadcasting-
The Legend of Fei
The original work "There are bandits" has a very high popularity and reputation.
Douban score is as high as 8.8, which is rare in similar works.
Adapted into film and television, it is naturally sought after.
It’s a hot search reservation for several days in a row.
Zhao Liying plays the heroine Zhou Fei.
This is her latest work after "Know No" after two years.
YiBo, as the male host Xie Yun.
This is another costume drama after The Untamed.
There are also new generation actors such as Zhang Huiwen, Chen Ruoxuan and Kyulkyung;
And Hu Bing, Geng Le, Che Xiao and other powerful actors from Mesozoic era joined in.
Especially when I saw Dong Xuan and Zheng Xiaodong, many netizens called Ye Qinghui directly, and "the plain question and the breeze continued for a while."
The director is Wu Jinyuan from Hongkong, who is a good hand at filming costume dramas.
You may be unfamiliar with this name, but you must have seen his masterpiece-
The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man, The Chivalrous Man and the Plum, The Search for Qin … are all classics.
The most attractive part of the original work is the structure of the world outlook and a new interpretation of the rivers and lakes.
When the characters are visualized, the mighty rivers and lakes will be presented more intuitively.
There are disasters and wars in the rivers and lakes.
In order to shelter innocent people, old and young who were injured in the war.
Zhou Fei’s grandfather (Hu Bing) retreated to the border of Hunan and built a cottage.
This stronghold is formed by forty-eight sects in the Jianghu, and it is called Forty-eight Village.
Isolated from the world, Zhong Ling is beautiful, and everyone lives and works here.
Many years later, the position of the master of the cottage was passed on to his daughter, that is, Zhou Fei’s mother (Che Xiao).
The boss is a tiger mother, very strict.
Even if Zhou Fei (Zhao Liying) is talented, he is the best martial arts among the younger generation in the village.
And I never praised her.
Being left out in the cold since childhood, Zhou Fei was grumpy and aggressive when he grew up.
What she didn’t know was that the reason why her mother did this was to better temper her.
My mother knows very well that Forty-eight Villages can’t be a safe haven for Zhou Fei’s life.
I just didn’t expect that this day came earlier than I thought.
Before Zhou Fei left the stockade, her mother taught her the unique skill "snow-breaking knife":
"You look good, I only teach it once. If I ask again later, I don’t know when I have leisure time. 」
Although Zhou Fei doesn’t have the ability to never forget anything, he only caught the key after reading it once.
As a martial arts drama, the link of "martial arts" cannot be vague.
The Legend of Fei’s action design and martial arts scenes are worth mentioning.
Weitao Chen, a famous Hong Kong martial arts instructor, was invited.
The martial arts movements in the works such as Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man, Painted Skin and Double Pride are all from his hands.
The movements he designed are changeable in style, which can be hard to bridge and hard to horse, but smart and elegant to retreat.
The VIA used by the main character in the play can be rotated 360 degrees.
You can also make all kinds of difficult movements in the air.
Weitao Chen’s sword drawing action designed for the role of Zhou Fei is drawn from the side.
This will give her a head start in the fight.
Originally, I was worried that Zhao Liying was not strong enough to do this action well.
When I arrived at the scene, I found this worry completely unnecessary.
Every blade-swinging action is well organized and can control the body well.
YiBo has the basic skills of hip-hop and motorcycle, so he is also adept at lifting Weiya to complete his movements.
The difference between The Legend of Fei and traditional martial arts is that women are no longer regarded as the foil of Jianghu.
It is a female martial arts.
It can be regarded as the growth history of a generation of female Xia.
Growth runs through the whole play.
The first lesson of Zhou Fei’s growth was what she learned from her father: parting.
This starts with the man Xie Yun (played by YiBo) breaking into the Forty-eighth Village.
Entrusted by others, he came to see Zhou Fei’s father, Zhou Yitang.
I hope to ask him to come out of the mountain again and sit in Anping Army.
Zhou Yitang retired from the Jianghu long ago and settled in the cottage with his wife and daughter, but he decided to leave for the sake of national justice.
Zhou Fei wanted to go down the mountain with his father and stay with him to protect him.
But I found that my martial arts were limited and I couldn’t even protect myself.
For her father’s departure, Zhou Fei was reluctant, but she also learned to accept the difference.
And people grow up in separation.
After half a year, Zhou Fei’s martial arts became more refined.
Challenge the tractor array again, and then passed the test of Xiushantang, and won the opportunity to go down the mountain.
On the mountain, under the mountain, outside the village, there are two worlds.
A magnificent picture of rivers and lakes begins.
Just then, a task fell on her head.
Many Wulin people disappeared in secret, including the people of Forty-eight Villages.
It turned out that the second owner of Huojiabao distributed heroic posts under the guise of birthday.
Then imprison the Wulin people who came to the underground dungeon and force them to join Huojiabao and recognize him as the leader.
Zhou Fei accidentally fell into the black prison of Huojiabao by mistake.
I didn’t expect to meet Xie Yun here after a long time.
At the beginning, Xie Yun felt guilty.
He thinks it is because of himself that Zhou Fei’s father and daughter are separated.
But now is not the time to catch up.
Zhou Fei has more important things to do-
Try to save the people who are under house arrest in the black prison of Huojiabao.
The first time I went down the mountain, I had zero experience in Jianghu, but I was carrying such a heavy responsibility.
Zhou Fei can only rely on intuition.
Steal the antidote and detoxify everyone.
Xie Yun found that there was black powder in Huojiabao, which could explode at any time.
He advised Zhou Fei not to mind his own business: "Which is more important, life or confession?". 」
Zhou Fei said categorically, "It is important to explain. 」
This is another lesson in Zhou Fei’s growth: a promise is made, and mountains are unimpeded.
She didn’t forget the mission of this trip down the mountain, that is, to give an account to Forty-eight Villages.
Commitment is more important than life, so we are willing to give our lives.
In the end, Zhou Fei and Xie Yun successfully rescued the imprisoned Wulin people.
After the Battle of Huojiabao, the two became friends of life and death.
For Zhou Fei, the first pass down the mountain was well done.
But she was not happy about it.
Because seeing the world at the foot of the mountain, people are in dire straits.
She said to Xie Yun:
"I didn’t expect the world at the foot of the mountain to be like this. Yesterday, I was still frustrated that I was too far from the strong. Today, when I entered the city, I saw so many refugees leaving home. Alas, this world is beyond the control of warriors. 」
This is probably the meaning of growth:
Compared with overcoming external difficulties, inner awakening and transformation are more precious.
The beginning mentioned the decline of martial arts.
In addition to the absence of Jin Yong’s Gu Long, there is actually another reason:
In this way, the fantasy-fixing mode has been upgraded to seize the market, and the chivalrous culture has lost its roots.
This era emphasizes "being yourself" more than "being a hero".
Young people are forced by life to become plain laymen, trying to live tactfully, while the latter gives people a feeling of naivety.
It seems that we haven’t seen the heroic chivalry between the streets and the unrestrained elegance between the mountains and rivers for a long time.
What The Legend of Fei has built is still the distant Jianghu.
What is unique is that a female character is chosen as the protagonist.
The rivers and lakes are stormy, and Zhou Fei, who was once carefree, was forced to get involved.
The audience followed her to wander the rivers and lakes, and they learned from each other.
Witnessed that Zhou Fei grew up from a novice in the Jianghu and eventually became a respected woman.
There are hills and valleys in the chest, which immediately shake the mountains and rivers, and there is no shortage of tenderness, demure and dignified.
Then through Zhou Fei’s growth, he brought out the common growth of other characters around him.
They are a group of people who represent the young power in the Jianghu.
Xie Yun once said to Zhou Fei, "Jianghu needs a successor, so you are born. 」
Just like a flower dies, there is always a glory.
A new generation of people in the Jianghu have grown up, and they want to keep the flowers blooming.
In the process of growing up, Zhou Fei and Xie Yun naturally developed love.
CP was not deliberately formed in order to force sugar distribution.
This feeling, it is natural.
And what they have been searching for all their lives is nothing more than the true meaning of the word "Xia".
As early as when Zhou Fei went down the mountain to kill the first person, she was deeply aware of:
Knives can kill people as well as save people.
One thought is good, and the other is evil.
No matter how advanced the martial arts are, it is useless to be invincible if you lose your chivalrous heart.
"I just know today, the word hero, what a mission. 」
The so-called "Xia" is not about how many people he defeated, but about how many people he saved.
The real strength lies not in Wen Cheng, nor in military skill, but in the heart.
As early as before the mountain, my mother said to Zhou Fei:
"Ghosts and gods are outside Liuhe, and people walk in the world. Why can’t you believe that this knife in your hand can be invincible? 」
Jianghu is not just about fighting and killing, blood shed.
Jianghu is a journey, but also a growth.
And the ending of growing up, at the beginning of the first episode, has been written down:
"One day, you will cross the silent Mojiang River and leave the old paradise surrounded by mountains.
You will witness countless insurmountable mountains toppling one after another, and the insurmountable sea drying up into fields.
Your fate hangs on the tip of the knife, and the tip of the knife must move forward forever. 」
This is probably the charm of martial arts.
And our time needs, pure domestic martial arts.
