After Jet Li left Jiahe, he and Wang Jing collaborated on five films: "Die Hard", "Letter to Dad" (screenplay by Wang Jing), "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", "Huang Feihong: Iron Chicken" "Fighting Centipede" and "The Lord of the Demon Cult".
Wang Jing even praised Jet Li as the "Pose King". Whether it is a costume film or a fashion film, as long as a good posture is taken, countless girls' hearts will be captured.
Among these movies, the one that regrets the fans the most, and is still being mentioned again and again, is the 1993 "The Demon Lord of the Dragon Slayer". The movie
was originally going to be made into two episodes. Although it won 11.86 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office after it was released, it ranked 29th on the list that year, but it was forced to cut it down because of its huge cost and failing to meet expectations.
However, the quality of the film is still remarkable, especially in the film and television works of the 10th edition of "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", it has been regarded by fans as an unsurpassed martial arts classic.

Wang Jing's adaptation of martial arts movies has always liked to add his own comedy creativity, but the main story of the movie is very faithful to the original context, which is very different from Tsui Hark's "Swordsman" series.
In the movie, the legend of the rivers and lakes, the hero Guo Jing and the heroine Huang Rong, combined the mysterious iron sword made by the heroic carving hero and added the world's fine gold into one sword and one sword.
And they also hid the secrets of "Wu Mu's Last Letter" and the world's first secret book "Nine Yin Zhenjing" in the sword, as long as they can get the sword, they can give orders to the world.
Since then, people in the martial arts have no distinction between good and evil. In order to compete for these two gods, countless blood and blood have been set off, and the six major factions of the Central Plains headed by Shaolin (Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong, Huashan) and Persia were introduced to China. The two opposing forces of Zoroastrianism (Mingjiao).
The two forces were in conflict. They were originally opposed to each other. However, Zhang Cuishan, the fifth disciple under the seat of Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang School, is upright and does not follow the rules of martial arts. He married Yin Susu, the daughter of the Baimeiying King Yin Tianzheng in Mingjiao, and also with him. The golden lion king Xie Xun became brothers.
Xie Xun's master Cheng Kun and Mingjiao were enemies and killed Xie Xun's family. For revenge, Xie Xun grabbed the Dragon Slaying Sword and lived in seclusion on Ice and Fire Island with Zhang Cuishan and his wife. But Xie Xun had been thinking hard for ten years and still failed to understand the secret of Dragon Slaying Blade.
Until Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday, Zhang Cuishan decided to take his family back to Wudang Mountain to celebrate Zhang Sanfeng's birthday.
The people in the martial arts quickly got the news, and they were all ready to move, but the two old men Xuanming relied on martial arts to conquer the world and first rushed to the foot of Wudang Mountain to attack Zhang Cuishan's family.
Fortunately, Zhang Sanfeng appeared to be rescued in time, and the two elders Xuanming failed to succeed, but Zhang Cuishan's son Zhang Wuji was caught in the palm of the god Xuanming and suffered a cold poison in his body.
Zhang Sanfeng asked Zhang Cuishan and his wife to take Zhang Wuji back to Wudang Mountain to heal their injuries, and go after the two old Xuanming to get the antidote to Xuanming's palm.
At this time, the five major factions got the news, and they gathered to Wudang Mountain and used birthdays as an excuse to force Zhang Cuishan to tell the whereabouts of Xie Xun.
Among them, the extermination division of Emei faction was the most radical. With the Yitian sword in her hand, she shot and injured Zhang Cuishan and his wife. During the battle, Zhang Sanfeng rushed back and confiscated the Yitian Sword in the hands of Master Exterminator.
Zhang Cuishan was unwilling to impede Master, nor betray his righteous brother Xie Xun, so he had no choice but to break his veins and die in front of the six major factions.
When Yin Susu saw her husband died tragically, he also took out a dagger and committed suicide. Before his death,
asked his son Zhang Wuji to remember every face of the five enemies who killed his father Zhang Cuishan, and avenge his father when he grows up; at the same time, remember that the more beautiful women are, the more deceitful they are.
Zhang Wuji has been staying in Wudang Mountain ever since, relying on Zhang Sanfeng to use his internal strength to help him resist the cold.
Time has passed for seven years, when Zhang Sanfeng agreed to extinctionSeven years later, Master Master sent a disciple to Wudang Mountain to retrieve the Yitian Sword, and Exterminate Master sent his proud disciple Zhou Zhiruo to Wudang Mountain.
Zhang Sanfeng invited Zhou Zhiruo to stay in Wudang Mountain for a few more days, and asked her apprentice Song Yuanqiao to teach her a Wudang swordsmanship in return.
Zhang Sanfeng had to retreat for three months in order to study Tai Chi swordsmanship. Among the Wudang Seven Heroes, Zhang Cuishan was dead and Yu Daiyan was severely injured and paralyzed. The rest Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi, Yin Liting, and Mo Shenggu had to accompany the guardian.
Therefore, in these three months, Wudang's upper and lower affairs have been handed over to Song Qingshu, the son of Song Yuanqiao, who has high expectations.
Zhang Sanfeng also prepared one hundred heart-protecting pills for Zhang Wuji. As long as he eats one pill a day, he can resist cold poison even if Zhang Sanfeng does not lose power for him.
Song Qingshu, as the most qualified heir of the third generation, has always been supported by all Wudang disciples in Wudang Mountain.
And he is jealous of Zhang Wuji who has always been passed on by Zhang Sanfeng, and often bullies Zhang Wuji, who is in the cold.
At this time, the power of the mountain fell into his hands, and he was more able to deal with Zhang Wuji, so he worked with Zhou Zhiruo to design and tease Zhang Wuji, and even more so.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhao, the maidservant under the white-browed eagle throne of Mingjiao, made a rescue. The purpose of Xiao Zhao's trip was to sever the cold iron chains in her hand with the help of the sword of the sky.
Zhang Wuji and Xiaozhao were chased by the people in Wudang Mountain, and they fell off the mountain cliff in a panic.
is just a coincidence. Zhang Wuji met at the bottom of the cliff the Shaolin Pyrotechnics Tuo, who was defeated by Zhang Sanfeng and jumped off the cliff, but was stuck at the bottom of the cliff because of his broken backbone.
The nine-sun magical skill on the fireworker Tuo is exactly the nemesis of Xuanming's palm. Zhang Wuji used the agitation method and finally tricked the fire foreman Tuo to inject the nine-yang magical energy into his body and forced out cold toxin, which helped him to practice nine-yang magical power.
Zhang Wuji is pregnant with nine-sun magic skills, which is no longer what he used to be. He decided to take Xiao Zhao to the Mingjiao General Altar to find his grandfather Baimeiying Wang Yin Tianzheng.
was just in time for the six major factions to besiege Guangmingding. Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao avoided the main battlefield and moved from the Mingjiao Forbidden Site to the Guangmingding General Altar.
In the Holy Tomb, the two ran into Cheng Kun who had stolen into the stone room to steal "The Great Moving of the Universe".
Cheng Kun lost to Zhang Wuji, so he designed to trap him and Xiao Zhao in a stone room.
Fortunately, Zhang Wuji got Xiao Zhaozhi's help to practice the great shift of the universe before breaking through the slate to reach Guangmingding.
Zhang Wuji challenged and defeated the Shaolin Dragon Claw in order to relieve the six major factions and Mingjiao. After
, Zhang Wuji frustrated and exterminated Shitai again, but Zhou Zhiruo was murdered.
Seeing that Zhang Wuji was injured, Wudang Five Heroes stood in front of the Mingjiao people to protect Zhang Wuji. Seeing that the other five factions could not win the Guangmingding Peak, they had no choice but to retreat down the mountain.
Zhang Wuji took the seat of the leader under the support of the Mingjiao congregation. He ordered the congregation to retreat to the holy sepulchre to recover from their wounds. After regaining their vitality, Zhang Wuji would rise again.
In the stone room, Zhang Wuji broke Zhu Yuanzhang's wolf ambition, and only the CCTV version of a relationship scene with Xiao Zhao was included.
After some time, Zhang Wuji led the people down the mountain and met the two elders of Huashan, only to learn that the Wudang Five Heroes were besieged by a group of unknown people on the way back to Wudang.
It turned out that Cheng Kun was an eagle dog of the imperial court. He led the imperial court officers and soldiers. When the vitality of the six major factions was severely injured after the war, they captured all these martial arts practitioners and sent them to the capital.
and planning all these conspiracies is Zhao Min, the daughter of Ruyang King Chahantemoor.
Zhang Wuji confronted Zhao Min and found that she was a scheming and dangerous woman.
Zhang Wuji worried about the safety of his master Zhang Sanfeng, so he rushed to Wudang Mountain, just in time for Zhao Min to besiege Wudang Mountain with officers and soldiers.
Zhang Wuji used Taijiquan that he temporarily learned from Zhang Sanfeng to kill the two elders Xuanming, and reported his revenge for being tortured by cold toxins from the palm of Crane Biweng.
In the end, Zhao Min threatened the lives of the six major factions and successfully escaped from Wudang Mountain. When she left, she turned around and asked Zhang Wuji to find her mostly, leaving an unforgettable look back and smile.
Some people say that Zhang Min’s look back and smile are the most beautiful and moving. She also left this scene in 1992's "Deer Tripod".
It is a pity that both are Wang Jing's works. There is a sequel to "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", but the sequel to "The Demon Lord of the Legend of the Dragon and the Dragon" is difficult to give birth because of the box office and the martial arts movie trend.
In addition to Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen and Gigi Lai are also responsible for their beauty.
Sammo Hung's role as Zhang Sanfeng subverts the traditional image of a master. In fact, Pi had practiced Tai Chi before. The nickname Zhang Sanfeng recorded in ancient books is sloppy. He usually doesn't like to wear shoes and he does not stick to the small details. On the contrary, he is very close to Sammo Hung's image.
The joining of many Hong Kong and Mainland movie stars such as Wu Zhenyu, Wu Yaohan, Cao Rong, Yan Huaili, Liang Jiaren, Zou Zhaolong, Tian Qiwen, Zhang Chunzhong, Ji Qilin, Zhang Xusheng, Liu Dagang, Sun Mengquan, etc. has also added a lot to the film.
What is interesting is that Zhang Xusheng, who played Pyongyang Tuo, played the role of King Zhou in the five episodes of Childhood Shadow Cult version of "Fengshen Bang" in 1989; Sun Mengquan, who played the extinct teacher, once played Li Wan in the CCTV version of "A Dream of Red Mansions"; and this The film is also the only work of the CCTV version of "Journey to the West" two Drifters Yan Huaili and Liu Dagang collaborated.
finally pointed out an actor who is easy to make mistakes for movie fans. It is Tian Qiwen and Zou Yixun who play the two elders of Huashan. Zou Yixun looks a bit similar to Zeng Zhiwei and is not well-known, so he is often mistaken.
in the film are both funny and they contributed a lot of jokes, but they are also the biggest and most controversial role in Wang Jing's adaptation.
In fact, due to space problems, drastic adaptations are inevitable.
and Wang Jing’s screenwriter was able to change the location of Zhang Wuji’s practice of the Nine Suns at the bottom of the cliff of Wudang Mountain on the basis of keeping the main line of the original work;
omitted Wusanren and Xiaoyao two immortals; and changed Zhang Wuji’s Tai Chi sword to Tai Chi Fist;
made the two old men Xuanming the highlight of this episode in advance. These adaptations make the film story more compact and exciting, which is really rare.
So the editor and many fans are still worried about the fact that the film did not release a sequel.
Fortunately, Wang Jing has revealed a good news. There is already a shooting plan for the sequel of this movie, and the outline has been completed, and it has been named "Yin and Yang Sacred Fire Order". Legend has it that Jet Li, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Min and Gigi Lai will all The return is initially scheduled to be released in 2020, but there is still no more news.
, like everyone else, the editor just hopes that this sequel will be seen in the rest of my life!
