However, this chivalry began to fade away gradually until 10 years ago, when there was no gushing love and hate, no noble and upright feelings of home and country, no flesh and blood that broke free from bondage, and no ultimate romance that smiled at the sea.
First, martial arts is no longer the mainstream. 2065 438+00-2065 438+04 mainly focuses on anti-Japanese dramas and romantic dramas. After the popularity of 20 14, fantasy drama became dominant. Since 20 19, the radical change of fan corruption has become the mainstream.
Secondly, chivalry is lost, martial arts are gorgeous, action design is wonderful, and computer special effects are improved, but the shell of martial arts is empty and the core is missing.
Thirdly, the story of martial arts has been basically finished, and there are no such people as Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng, so the innovation of theme has become a big problem.
Whenever this time, I can feel the Excellence and irreversibility of the previous domestic martial arts dramas, and most of the later remakes end in the street.
Take the legendary swordsman as an example. After 2000, "the legendary swordsman" has been remake for more than five versions, among which the most chivalrous version is the Li version. It is no exaggeration to describe other versions by imitation.
In the 200 1 version of the legendary swordsman, even though Ling Huchong wears coarse clothes, a hat and hemp fiber, he still can't hide his chivalry.
There seems to be a kind of "why not sing and walk slowly if you don't listen to the beating of leaves in the forest?" Bamboo poles and sandals are more dexterous than riding horses. What's to be afraid of? A misty rain is a life.
There is also a kind of "cold spring breeze blowing wine to wake up, slightly cold, sloping hills." Looking back at the bleak place and going home, there is no rain or shine.
The bosom friend of high mountains and flowing water is the most important part of this edition of the legendary swordsman.
In the legendary swordsman, the ensemble of Quyang and Heqin and Xiao is similar to that of Hehe. Both of them look at the tragedy with sadness and explore the world with sad songs.
Between the misty Shan Ye, two people sit cross-legged, putting aside secular prejudice, being neighbors with green mountains and green waters, making friends with birds and flowers, and an ethereal Jianghu atmosphere has been formed.
A the legendary swordsman, chic and romantic, injects current events into it, deconstructs society and reshapes elegant and agile Jianghu order.
Chivalrous heroes are the theme of this edition of the legendary swordsman.
Speaking of this topic, Ling Huchong is naturally a role that cannot be skipped. He was born to pursue freedom and personality liberation, but he was accidentally involved in all kinds of chaos.
First, Tian Boguang, a flower thief, threatened her and seriously injured her in order to save Yilin of Hengshan School on her way to attend the Golden Pot Ceremony of Hengshan School in Liu Zhengfeng.
Later, he was saved by Quyang, the elder of Sun Moon Shinto, and got the legendary swordsman's score. However, because he repeatedly violated the rules of the gate, he was punished for thinking on the side wall. He happened to meet the predecessors of Huashan School in Thinking Cliff and learned the Nine Swords of Dugu.
After being expelled from his legacy, he became sworn friends with Xiang Wentian, Riyue Shinto and * * * in Jin Lan, resisting the powerful enemy of good and evil, and unexpectedly saved Ren Woxing, the former founder of Riyue Shinto, and Ren Yingying, the man who tempered himself, as his daughter.
But because of his integrity, he didn't want to go along with it, which destroyed Ren Woxing's plan to plot Wulin and shattered the activities of the wuyue League in Yue Buqun.
With his efforts, the Jianghu recovered its former calm, and the Wulin people were able to rest, but he chose to retire and wrote the legendary swordsman with Ren Yingying.
The honorable gentleman is the inspiration of this edition of the legendary swordsman's remolding of values.
There are many hypocrites in the play, but the most noteworthy ones are Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan School, who is known as the sword of gentlemen, and Yu Canghai, the head of Qingcheng School, who is known as noble and decent.
Yue Buqun looks humble, elegant and upright, but in fact, he is cruel, insidious and full of calculations. In order to win the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits and unify the Wulin, he did not hesitate to kill his disciples and his wife and daughter.
Yu Canghai coveted the sword score of the Lins in Fu Wei Escort Agency, and used it as an excuse to kill the Lins. However, without obtaining the cheats, he appeared in various occasions in the Wulin and started fights at will.
Love that is both good and evil is this version of the legendary swordsman's explanation. There is no reason to love someone.
Ling Huchong and Ren Yingying, Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan, the former is oblivious to rivers and lakes, while the latter is blinded by hatred as blind as a bat.
Ling Huchong and Ren Yingying love each other and have a feeling of mutual comfort and warmth, as described in a line in Heartbeat:
"Some people live in tall buildings, some people are in deep ditches, some people are shining, some people are rusty, and there are thousands of people in the world. If you are a rainbow, you will know when you meet it. "
The love between Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan is more like a transaction, so it was doomed to end in tragedy from the beginning.
Lin Pingzhi, who was poisoned and blind, stabbed his younger brother in the abdomen with Yu Di in the bamboo forest and died without leaving a word.
Yue Lingshan's death means that the beautiful memory of Huashan in Ling Huchong's heart no longer exists, and there is nowhere to be sad.
The stormy rivers and lakes are the encouragement of this edition of the legendary swordsman to set things right.
Good and evil are not antagonistic, but what is good and what is bad. Even if it is recognized as a magic religion by Wulin, there are righteous Xiang Wentian and Dong Fangbubai who died for love.
In the so-called noble and decent Wuyue Sword School, Zuo Lengchan, the head of Songshan Mountain by hook or by crook, and the honorable Yue Buqun were born.
In the final confrontation, Yue Buqun killed Ren Woxing, Ling Huchong killed Yue Buqun, justice killed evil, and also killed pseudo-justice, bearing the stigma of deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors.
So what is right and what is evil? This edition of the legendary swordsman is adapted from the end of Jin Yong's original work, and no answer is given.
Because the world is always right and wrong, black and white is unknown, and no one can tell clearly.
In addition to these, the ending song "the legendary swordsman" is even more classic, with a sharp "eyah" opening, which leads to a top-grade work divided into two parts.
The first half is Liu Huan's chivalrous character, majestic and heroic; The second half is Faye Wong's gentleness, classicality, gentleness and sincerity.
In composition, the fast-paced drums bring out controversial rivers and lakes, and the unique guqin is integrated into popular singing methods, adding more emotions. Liu Huan's and Faye Wong's vocals are both rigid and flexible, which constitutes a style of both rigid and flexible.
The lyrics are quite archaic, depicting the martial arts full of vitality in the rivers and lakes, such as "a sword flying, a lifetime of laughter, a turbulent floating world, and human feelings." The sword is fluttering, and I am proud of it all my life. I will pass on a song forever and ever, and the water is far away and the mountains are high all my life.
If justice has not failed, we will unite with the heroes of the world and there is no way to win. There are fewer and fewer children in the Jianghu, who are brave and good with a sword fluttering and a proud smile all his life. The heart is still there, people are no longer there, and looking back is stormy. "
But now the martial arts drama, chivalry has become something to improve the situation, bosom friends tend to be gay, and it is a vivid costume idol drama.
Even if the original works of Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng rank first, they will still be adapted into dog blood love with the blessing of beauty, filters and makeup.
In the play, innocent, clear faces, dressed in white and clean clothes, demonstrate the broken and painful martial arts that all people in Wulin compete with me for men or women.
Unexpectedly, a domestic drama that made its debut with bad comments and insults 19 years ago turned out to be the only "only child" in the martial arts drama.
"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people", which used to be the main theme of martial arts in the past, or saving people, restoring sects, promoting martial arts, connecting the past with the future and opening up peace for the world.
Now, martial arts is just the skin of love. Only the high-value men and women who are forgotten by the rivers and lakes are sadists or lovelorn, and there is no feeling of infatuation.
The word "chivalry" lies in chivalry, and chivalry is the bone of chivalry. Be immersed in love is only its skin, but now chivalry has long lost its former craftsman spirit, and the table is not important.
There is no chivalrous tenderness, no integrity, no pleasing to the eye, no flowing water, only flattery and vulgarity.
