Speaking of heroes, we can't help but think of the characters written by masters such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, such as Yang Guo, Linghu Chong, Chu Liuxiang, and Li Xunhuan. These heroes have become part of the national culture for a long time, and the TV series produced are endless. The heroes also have an amazing similarity-they are handsome, and even some scholars have ranked these heroes according to their appearance, and they must be ranked high and low in appearance. However, in the original novel, there are not many descriptions of the appearance of male knights. The focus is on martial arts and character. Why does everyone become a peerless man in TV and movies?

One, "handsome" helps the development of the plot of love and hatred. When it comes to this, Wei Xiaobao is doing his part. This person is glib and charming, not only the martial arts is not so high, but also occasionally greedy for life and fear of death, but still captured the hearts of eight beauties. In the narrow sense, it is not very prominent, so Wei Xiaobao's appearance must have given him a lot of points. There is also Zhang Wuji. Those women never forget about him. In addition to martial arts and chivalrous heart, he inherited Zhang Cuishan's handsomeness. If he had the appearance of Zeng Aniu all his life, I am afraid that Zhao Min would not appreciate it. Him. Some scholars boldly pointed out that after Yang Guo took off his mask, if he became ugly, Guo Xiang would not fall in love with him. Therefore, the appearance of a hero is the need for the development of the plot. It is difficult for a person with an unremarkable appearance to be favored by a martial arts beauty, let alone a collision of emotions. The same is true in our lives. Handsome people tend to have more stories than ordinary people.

Second, the appearance and temperament of the actor. In ancient dramas, there are such roles as "shengdanjing ugliness". Each character has its own characteristics and requires special costumes for special performance. For example, "Jing", you need to make a painted face. It's the same in movies and TV nowadays. Our so-called heroes, not surprisingly, are the incarnation of positive energy. Therefore, we naturally need positive characters to interpret, and there must be requirements for the image of actors. As for the audience of many appearance associations, it is definitely better to be "polite" than "savage and evil", at least because of the positive energy of appearance. In addition, the entire showbiz has a ugly appearance, but there are only a handful of actors who can stand on their own, and they have to survive the plot temperament, the original temperament is very few. Therefore, the actors are handsome, and the heroes are naturally handsome.

Third, wishful thinking. There is a line in Stephen Chow’s movie 23 years ago, "The Secret Detective in the Big Internal", there is a line in it, "The master does not have to be so handsome, it is just you Star Dou citizens, wishful thinking." There is no lack of irony. It means, but it makes a lot of sense. The masters and heroes are handsome, but we think of it ourselves. The master is "handsome", this is also reasonable. I would like to ask, who is not a hero in the mind of a chivalrous tenderness, Yushu Linfeng? After all, this is a beautiful thing, and everyone loves beauty. As a result, the director showed this "idea" on the screen, just to cater to the audience with the same "idea", and it hits it off. The appearance and image of these heroes are naturally interpreted with the word "handsome".

's unique insight was indeed only revealed by Stephen Chow in such an exaggerated way more than 20 years ago.
