In 1992, the Hong Kong film market was very lively.
Andy Lau , Jackie Chan , Jacky Cheung , Chow Yun Fat , Jet Li , Lin Zhengying , etc., have come up with their own works.
And this year, the biggest winner is undoubtedly Zhou Xingchi .
is in the top ten list of box office, and the top 5 are all works of star , which are impeccable both in word of mouth and box office.
On the surface, Hong Kong movies are booming at this time, but in fact it is not.
Back then, after many movies were released, they failed miserably at the box office and word of mouth.
However, after many years of rebroadcast on TV, it has become a classic in the hearts of many viewers.
For example, this classic martial arts film - " Tianjian Jue Dao: Dugu Nine Swords ".
That year, the movie was only released for 7 days, and it was taken off the shelves by major theaters, and the final box office was only more than 3 million.
No matter how you look at it, the failure of the film is incomprehensible.
First of all, it's the cast. Although it's not star-studded, it's definitely not bad.
Li Jiaxin , Yang Lijing , Hui Yinghong "Three Beauties", Liu Ximing and Li Zixiong "Double Heroes", quite interesting.
Second, the director and screenwriter, also have a lot of background.
director Yu Mingsheng , martial arts has always been his forte, and later "Magic Phone" was directed by him.
And the screenwriter Li Mincai, in Hong Kong at that time, was a relatively powerful person.
Therefore, the failure of this martial arts film surprised many people.
The story takes place in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, when the princes were separated and wars were frequent.
Hou Tang was destroyed by Hou Yan, and the princess (played by Li Jiaxin) fled under the protection of Liu Ruoxiong (played by Li Zixiong) and Sai Xiaojing (played by Yang Lijing).
Before his father died, he handed over a jade flute with a hidden treasure to his daughter, and if he found this treasure, he would be able to restore the country.
At the same time, the ambitious Houyan Guoshi ( Liu Xun ), in order to get this treasure, began to hunt down the princess who was on the run.
In order to protect the princess, Liu Ruoxiong was captured by the national teacher, only his wife Sai Xiaojing and the princess escaped successfully.
Not long after, the princess and Sai Xiaojing escaped to a valley and found that the remnants of the former Xiahou Kingdom lived here.
The fallen prince Xiahoutang (played by Liu Ximing) was instilled by his aunt (played by Hui Yinghong) with the idea of returning the country, and taught him to practice martial arts and practice the swordsmanship Dugu Jiujian.
Because he didn't know the identity of the princess, Xia Houtang saved the two of them.
In the days that followed, Xia Houtang and the distressed princess gradually became good friends.
In an accident, the princess was bitten by a poisonous snake, and Xia Houtang ventured to detoxify the princess.
Therefore, Xia Houtang has a good impression on the princess.
Later, the aunt discovered the identity of the princess and was going to get rid of it.
At this time, the princess and Sai Xiaojing met Liu Ruoxiong, who escaped from the national teacher. What
did not expect was that Liu Ruoxiong had been bewitched by the national teacher, and while the princess relaxed her vigilance, she stole the priceless Yu Xiao.
However, the princess had long discovered that Liu Ruoxiong was wrong, and secretly replaced Yu Xiao with a fake one. After the
incident, Sai Xiaojing saw her husband's true colors clearly, decided to cut off the relationship with him, and shouldered the responsibility of protecting the princess by herself.
And after the princess left, Xia Houtang became unhappy, and had no intention of practicing and returning to the country.
For this reason, my aunt thought about catching the princess back.
However, the kind Xia Houtang still let her go.
never passedAfter a long time, the national teacher brought people to the valley, and threatened to kill all the villagers if the Xiahou tribe did not inform the princess of the whereabouts.
After the incident, Xia Houtang also learned the identity of the princess, and thought of the hatred between the two, thinking that she had been deceived by others.
Under extreme grief, Xiahoutang practiced the Nine Swords of Dugu.
Later, the national teacher still found the whereabouts of the princess and prepared to take the jade flute in her hand.
Just when the two were in danger, Xiahoutang appeared in time. This time he came to avenge the villagers.
Xiahou Tang, who became Dugu Nine Swords, quickly defeated the national teacher.
After the incident, the princess and Xia Houtang released their suspicions and became a pair of lovers since then.
Xia Houtang threw away his sword, and the princess also threw away Yu Xiao. From now on,
will stay away from the disputes between rivers and lakes.
After watching the whole movie, "Tianjian Jue Dao: Dugu Nine Swords" has the shadow of 80s martial arts movies.
has both the grievances of swords and swords, and the longing for love between children. In terms of martial arts,
continues the characteristics of Hong Kong-made martial arts films, which are pleasing to the eye.
In fact, the film also has another name - " Legend of Heroes and Women ".
personally feel that this title is not appropriate.
First of all, as the heroine is Li Jiaxin, there is not much martial arts in the film, which cannot reflect the meaning of the character of "Xia".
Secondly, if the "chivalrous girl" refers to Yang Lijing, but her role in the film is too small.
In general, "Tianjian Jiu Dao: Dugu Nine Swords" was considered a qualified martial arts film at the time. After all,
can be recognized by CCTV and replayed several times, which is enough to prove the quality of the movie.
It's a pity, the story of the film is too old-fashioned, the only thing to watch, maybe only Li Jiaxin's beauty now.
