With the influence of the movie "The Swordsman 2: The Invincible East" created by director Tsui Hark and starring Brigitte Lin, the character "The Swordsman" in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Swordsman", who did not have a lot of screen time, suddenly became She has become the most popular villain in Jin Yong's works, and she (he) is also the most mysterious villain among them.
Dongfang Bubai, written by Jin Yong, is a male, but he did not hesitate to choose to commit suicide in order to practice the most powerful martial arts secret book "Sunflower Book" in the world at that time, and he became her.
Among the film and television dramas adapted from the book "The Swordsman", there are many actors who have played the role of Dongfang Bubai, including both men and women, but the one who left the deepest impression on people has to be "Dongfang Bubai". Brigitte Lin in "Defeat". That is to say, starting from her, the actors who play the role of Dongfang Bubai are no longer limited to male actors.
In 1996, the famous actress Yang Lijing played the role of the Invincible Dongfang in Taiwan's Central Television TV series "The Sunflower Book of Master Zhongkui"; in the 2000 Taiwanese Central Television TV series "Swordsman", Liu Xuehua also played the role of Dongfang Invincible. Since then, people like Jessica Cheng and Joe Chen have also become undefeated performers in the East.
Domestic film and television workers have never stopped adapting Jin Yong's martial arts novels, such as the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" which is about to be directed by Tsui Hark. Not long ago, someone also posted a message saying that the movie version of "Laughing" "Proud Jianghu" is about to start filming. Zhang Yuqi, who played the role of Shirley Yang in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, will play the role of Dongfang Bubai.
The audience does not seem to agree with the news that Zhang Yuqi will play Dongfang Invincible. In fact, Tsui Hark had already encountered opposition from the original author Jin Yong when he cast actress Brigitte Lin to play the role of Dongfang Bubai in his movie. Later, in the mainland version of "The Swordsman", they even directly adapted Dongfang Bubai into a female character, and she also liked Linghu Chong, so the show's reputation was very poor and its ratings were very low.
Now there is news that Zhang Yuqi will play Dongfang Invincible, which makes people feel that this adaptation of "The Swordsman" is another magical change.
And for the movie version of "The Swordsman", the news only revealed the actor who plays Dongfang Bubai. As for other important roles such as Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun, Yue Lingshan, etc., they were not mentioned. This seems to indicate that this film It is likely to have the Invincible East as the protagonist, just like Tsui Hark's "The Invincible East".
However, compared with Brigitte Lin's version of Dongfang Invincible, Zhang Yuqi still lacks a bit of a charlatanism. I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let her play the role of Dongfang Invincible, who is the best in martial arts.
