has his own story. Hello everyone, and welcome to "Watching Movies to Know People", I am the King of Movies.
"Ask what love in the world is, and teach life and death." Hearing this sentence, many people will think of Mr. Jin Yong's classic work; The Condor Heroes. This story is favored by the majority of producers. So far, more than 10 related film and television works have been put on the screen and even turned into cartoons. Previously, it was reported on the Internet that Director Tsui Hark would start filming the movie version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and recruit actors from all over the world. Recently, another drama version "The Legend of Condor Heroes" announced the starring lineup. Suddenly, the netizen exploded. In particular, this photo of Little Dragon Girl's fixed makeup has triggered a wave of online P-picture contests. There are such and such. The movie-watcher also discovered that this version of the grandmother-in-law Lin Chaoying turned out to be played by Erqing Su Qing in "The Story of Yanxi Palace". I don't know if this grandma's mother-in-law will act and suddenly say: Are you crazy?
"The Legend of Condor Heroes", this classic martial arts work has been repeatedly remade. The earliest version was a Cantonese feature film with only four episodes shot in Hong Kong in 1960. It is Nicholas Tse’s father Xie Xian who plays Yang Guo in the play. Xie Xianguo in the small fresh meat period really has a prosperous beauty. It was only in 1976 that the Hong Kong Jiayi TV station began to put the story on the screen in its entirety. This version can be regarded as the originator of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". Later, the theme song of the movie "East as the West" was also the opening song of the adaptation of the show. What's interesting is that this version of Guo Jing played by Bai Biao once again played Guo Jing in the 95 edition of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds for the crew, the costumes were very simple, and even the actor who played the grandmother’s grandmother had to hire a man to act, and even changed into a costume after receiving a box lunch, and he could continue to act Qiu Qianchi. The conditions of the year can be imagined.
The actor of Yang Guo in the play is Luo Lelin, a Hong Kong actor who once played the role of me in Lu Songxian's version of "The Swordsman". In the 1990s, many TVB dramas can see him. And Li Tongming, who plays the little dragon girl in the play, can be regarded as the most down-to-earth little dragon girl. Seeing this round bun face, the viewer knew that Aunt Chen Yanxi was not the earliest Xiao Long Bao spokesperson. After eating Chen's Xiaolongbao, I am no longer afraid of a thousand knives. In 1982, the Shaw Film Company also took a fancy to the story of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and activated the company's action actor Fu Sheng. In the movie version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", he starred as Yang Guo, and the one who played Xiao Wu in the movie was Qian Xiaohao who played Qiu Sheng in "Mr. Zombie". And Zhao Zhijing plays Wang Daoling's Lufeng in "The Legend of the New White Lady", but this version is a story of only Yang Guo and no Xiaolongnu.
In order to make up for the regret, in 1983 Shaw Brothers film made another film called "Yang Guo and the Little Dragon Girl". The Hong Kong actor Weng Jingjing played the role of the Little Dragon Girl in the film. It was the Hong Kong film superstar Leslie Cheung who played the role of Yang Guo. The elder brother, who was still a small meat, was still very young, but he couldn't hide his handsomeness at all. In the same year, Hong Kong TVB used the supporting cast of the previous 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to shoot the sequel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", using Andy Lau and Chen Yulian to play Yang Guo and Xiaolong Nv respectively. This version was well received after it was aired that year. Among them, Chen Yulian portrayed the image of Xiaolongnu not eating the fireworks in the world. It is said that Andy Lau at the time regarded her as a goddess, and the little dragon girl played by Chen Yulian was also recognized by Jin Yong, saying that it is most in line with the original work.
Following the popular broadcast of Chen Yulian's "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Taiwanese producers have also tasted the sweetness of making martial arts dramas. It is said that at that time, Taiwan regarded it as protecting the local TV drama culture and did not introduce the TVB version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", and simply filmed one of its own. So in 1984, Taiwan China Television invited Pan Yingzi and Meng Fei to star in Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo respectively. After this version was broadcast, it caused a sensation in Taiwan. A "Prancing Horse River and Lake Road" spread all over the streets. "Pull the sword, cross the gods and carve the heart for the beautiful woman, and the girl: who is the pity for the tenderness, the love and the ice Qing Yujie." When Pan Yingzi shot this "The Legend of Condor Heroes", he was over 30 years old, and Meng Fei was still a little fresh meat. After Pan Yingzi finished filming the show, he became popular in Taiwan, and later filmed classic works such as "A Generation of Empress Wu Zetian" and "A Generation of Empress Da Yuer". Meng Fei was also invited. As the actor Hu Fei in the 91 version of "Flying Fox in Snow Mountain".
Until 1995, Hong Kong TVB re-filmed "The Legend of Condor Heroes", in which Louis Koo played Yang Guo and Li Ruotong played Xiaolong Girl. Once this TV series was broadcast, it quickly spread to the Chinese area.Loved by the audience. Even when it was introduced to the mainland for broadcasting, Xiao Ke specially composed the Mandarin theme song "Returning" for the show. This popular song has also been sung along with the popularity of the TV series. At that time, Gu Zai was not a dark old man, his appearance was plain, but he captured the hearts of countless girls. Li Ruotong is fluttering in white, and has become the dream lover of many boys. Therefore, this version is also a classic that many people cannot surpass. With Louis Koo’s version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" before the jade, Singapore and other regions are also beginning to move around.
In 1998, it ushered in Singapore's first Jin Yong martial arts drama. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was broadcast, in which Singapore's first beauty Fan Wenfang played the role of the little dragon girl, and Yang Guo was starred by Fan Wenfang's husband Suo Mingshun. The so-called couple match, work is not tired. After the show was broadcast, it also achieved good ratings in Southeast Asia. In this drama, you can also see many familiar figures in "Journey to the East". For example, Guo Xiang's actor is Lin Xiangping, who played the Dragon Three Princess in "Journey to the East". In the same year, Taiwan's Taiwan also followed the broadcast of the Condor Heroes starring Ren Xianqi and Wu Qianlian.
In a blink of an eye, in 2006, Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei's version of the Condor Heroes hit a high ratings, especially Liu Yifei's little dragon girl like a fairy, which was well received. In 2014, Yu Ma also started filming "The Legend of Condor Heroes", in which Chen Yanxi, the actor of Xiaolongnv, is no longer a cold goddess, but a simple and cute Xiaolongbao. Anyway, after filming this drama, Aunt Chen Yanxi and Guoer Chen Xiao also came together in reality and made a good story. Let us sincerely wish them a good relationship for a hundred years.
The so-called benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. There are a thousand Hamlet for a thousand spectators. Everyone has their own image of Yang Guo and Xiaolong. This is not only our martial arts dream, but also the persistence and yearning for loyal love in everyone's heart. Although Mr. Jin Yong has left us, the movie-watcher hopes that everyone can keep their original aspirations, have a chivalrous heart, and respect the crystallization of work created by the old artist. Well, that’s it for this issue. Which version of the Condor Heroes do you like? Please leave a message below!
