"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is one of Jet Li's masterpieces. The role of Dong Tianbao was originally played by Zou Zhaolong, but Yuan Heping felt that his villain was too powerful, so Qian Xiaohao was cast instead. Qian Xiaohao’s film is simply a god. Jet Li was a little jealous at the time, so the two did not cooperate again after this film, and Qian Xiaohao had no resources. The role of Qian Xiaohao really impressed me. After many years, I only remember this movie as a Kung Fu movie, starring Jet Li, and I don’t remember what plot it was about. I don't even remember the name of the role played by Qian Xiaohao, but I still have an impression of this role.
The role of Dong Tianbao has to take a big turn, so that the audience will not think that the brotherhood will betray Zhang Sanfeng, so we need to find an actor who is not like a villain. Zou Zhaolong is almost a professional villain, and the image of the villain is too popular to be suitable for this role. . Zou Zhaolong is suitable for acting as a villain from the beginning. Dong Tianbao's role was not a bad person at the beginning, but a little clever. Later, he entered the barracks. In order to achieve his goal, he did not resort to any means to become a villain. This process of transformation Qian Xiaohao has a good grip.
Zou Zhaolong is indeed fierce enough and domineering, but because of his own two temperaments, it is difficult to perform Dong Tianbao for fame and fortune, abandon dignity, see profit and forget righteousness, ambitious, this kind of villain and yet Not to be reconciled to the image of a villain, Qian Xiaohao is indeed very accurate. Zou Zhaolong is a big villain, this role is from good to evil, Qian Xiaohao grasps it very well, Zou Zhaolong can't play it.
Dong Tianbao’s personality should be divided into two parts. The first half is loyal, wealthy and not forgetting his friends, and he has saved his friends from danger several times. In the second half of the warlord’s career, the future is boundless. However, the brothers are important leaders of the rebels. In order to protect the country’s status, they must not turn their heads into enemies. Life is right, but the protagonist's halo is too strong.
The villains in many classic movies really interpret the way of survival and development for us, making us feel that this is how it should be, or that this kind of person can do great things, so his role has been recognized by everyone. In fact, if you look carefully and watch more, you can find that Jet Li’s acting skills are actually great. Combining all aspects of acting, screenwriting, and director, he is really a rare martial arts actor and star.
