film mainly tells about the 1640s. Although the Manchu and Qing Dynasty had entered the customs, many resistance forces were still hidden in the Central Plains martial arts. The Prince of Manchu and Qing Dynasty issued the "ban on military order" and sent the former dynasty masters to fight against the city. Among the martial arts people who violate the order, the important target is Wuzhuang, which is located in the northwestern border. On the surface, there are a group of farmers living in Wuzhuang, but in fact they are the people of the anti-Qing organization. The chivalrous doctor Fu Qingzhu thinks that the only way to solve the danger in Wuzhuang is to bring two young Wuzhuang youths, Wu Yuanying and Han Zhibang, to Tianshan for help.
Tianshan tens of thousands of miles are frozen, and a world-famous master Huiming who is good at making swords lives. Huiming has four major disciples, including the eldest disciple Chu Zhaonan , who relies on the masterful sword handed down by his master and hopes to be happily enmity in the rivers and lakes in the future; the second disciple Yang Yuncong , although his martial arts is high, he has no intention to set foot in the world.
Lu Yi did the most on the set is to practice swords and cultivate feelings with the horse he rides. Director Xu pays special attention to the relationship between the actor and the horse, but he will not tell you how to do it. As long as you communicate with the horse trainer, then Many questions will be tested again.
As the martial arts instructor of "Seven Swords", Liu Jialiang not only has to design a play for the characters in the play, but also plays one of the seven swords, Fu Qingzhu, Mo Wenjian. Although I was addicted to it, I was also troubled by the play, because the seven swords are all different, and the seven swords have seven styles. It doesn't seem to be difficult, but it is difficult to make it go from side to side.
Chu Zhaonan's initial candidate was South Korean actor Song Seung-hyun. Song Seung-hyun suddenly withdrew before the filming started, and Yen Zidan came to the rescue. The later dubbing needs to have three versions in Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean. Yen Zidan is very professional, and he completes the dialogue in the three languages himself.
Xu Ke tells actors not to use good or bad to understand characters. Even the wind and fire have his moving side. He requires the actor to reach the realm of human and sword integration with seven swords, and use his sword to understand the character of the sword holder. , This process of releasing oneself is very enjoyable. For a while, Liming put the sword under his pillow and never left it, feeling that he had entered his thoughts imperceptibly. In the
play, Liming and Yang Caini have many rivals. Liming in the play teaches Yang Caini to practice sword and get rid of emotional troubles. Outside the play, Yang Caini said that she did not expect Liming to be skilled in martial arts and taught her a lot of skills. At the same time, she was a gentleman. When she was injured, she was immediately taken care of by Liming.
Xu Ke ran in Xinjiang four times in order to film "Seven Swords Under Tianshan". The first two were selected locations, and the next two were preparations for filming.
When he first came to Xinjiang to shoot in September, Xu Ke felt that Lu Yi was too white, and asked him and a group of male extras to basking in the sun on the top of the mountain.
Because Lu Yi "raises horses" in the film, he must show his equestrian skills on the screen. But the crew picked a predecessor horse for him, and he was very tough. Every time I mount a horse, three horse masters must pull the horse's head and block the horse's legs. Asked him why he didn’t change a good-tempered horse, Lu Yi shook his head repeatedly: “A horse that is too good has no personality, just like an extra. It’s too ordinary.
"Seven Swords" has an Oriental movie release, with an investment of over 104 million. Ten million Hong Kong dollars. The group was established in 2002, and during the three years from 2002 to 2005, Tsui Hark never served as a storytellerThe director of the feature film. In order to match the large-scale actions and martial arts scenes in the film, more than 500 extras, 300 horses and more than a thousand weapons were used throughout the film. During the filming, Tsui Hark led a team of actors and over 300 people to the Tianshan Mountains, which are located at an altitude of 3000 kilometers, with severe cold temperatures and harsh environments, for live shooting. In addition, the team also carried out 4 projects in Xinjiang, Urumqi, and Shanshan. Many months of filming work.
went to Australia, Japan, Thailand and Beijing for post-production of special effects, editing, and sound effects. In terms of special effects, the investor invited Peter Webb, an Australian special effects artist who has produced visual effects for films such as "Batman" and "Ambush on Ten Sides". The visual effects of "Seven Swords" will be mainly used in environmental rendering and atmosphere processing. Tsui Hark’s "live martial arts" style was not affected in any way. Later, the "Lord of the Rings" team was used, and the company that produced "Lord of the Rings" in Australia then converted the digital to film. The costume stylist for "Seven Swords" is Huang Jianan, the costume stylist of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Ang Lee. The director specially invited the Japanese soundtrack master Kenji Kawai to score the film.
"Seven Swords" was coordinated by Lin An'er, the editor of "Kung Fu" and "Ambush on Ten Sides". The initial cut of the film was 4 hours long, but the distributor believed that the film time was too long and it would affect the cinema line Incurring box office losses, Tsui Hark re-edited the 150-minute and 120-minute versions. In contrast, the 120-minute version only relies on fast-paced martial arts to create a climax and lacks the emotional performance of the characters, so the investor finally decided The release version is 150 minutes long, and the 4-hour director’s cut version is released on DVD.
, the hero Zhao Wenzhuo of the TV series "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountain" is recommended by Tsui Hark. At the same time, Tsui Hark also acts as the art consultant of this TV series. He has made a new creation for the film, and the bold adaptation of the story and the characters breaks the past. The ideological frame of the martial arts drama in people's minds broke the standard of the Chinese martial arts world set by Jin Yong.
"Seven Swords" expresses too many concepts, a little rough and cluttered, but this happens to fit the scene of the northwestern border in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The reason why the plot is a little messy is that the film has many elements such as confrontation, growth, feelings, grievances, strategy and fighting, which are more complicated than films such as "Seven Samurai" and "Lord of the Rings". Martial arts is a very important part of Chinese culture. Although modern people have never lived above the rivers and lakes, they always have an active comparison with the stories of the rivers and lakes. The film is actually divided into two rivers and lakes. Seven swords and Tiandihui are fighting against the brutal rule of the Qing Dynasty. Their belief comes from the folk and primitive justice; the second is the wind and fire and his mercenaries, although Xu Ke will be ten The second goalkeeper is cartoonish and beastly treated, but he represents a force to compromise with the ruling authorities. In his eyes, the weak and the strong are the ironclad rules, and he is still between the rivers and lakes and the temples.
The so-called troubled times means that there is today and no tomorrow. The film further expounds the human nature of troubled times, and it directly approaches the heart. In the past martial arts movies, good and evil were relatively simple, not as heavy and complicated as this movie. There are many characters on the stage, and more than a dozen people have their own demons to face and choose their own direction. There are no idols in this film, and martial arts do not rely on adventures. The relationship between the characters is intricate, especially the grievances and feelings. There are so many people involved, and the characters have their own characteristics. Heroes need to eat and dress, be affectionate, no longer chic, and closer to the world.
Some people think that the plot is confusing, and more efforts in character portrayal can make up for the shortcomings. Tsui Hark once said that "Seven Swords" focuses on describing human nature, so there are more literary plays. It's a pity that most of his so-called literary dramas are manifested in all kinds of love affairs, and did not promote the themes of the so-called "wu" and "xia". Han Zhibang and Wu Yuanying's childhood sweetheart, and later transferred to Liu Yufang ; Liu Yufang fell in love with Chu Zhaonan at first sight, so he refused to join Han Zhibang wildly; Chu Zhaonan fell in love with the hot-sounding woman Lvzhu; Lvzhu and Liu Yufang fought against Chu Zhaonan ; Wu Yuanying was not idle either, and finally hugged Yang Yuncong together. It is completely unclear about the intricate relationship between them.
Generally speaking, many past and recent events in "Seven Swords" are only slightly hinted or mentioned,And not fully rolled out. The inherited spirit of justice is worth savoring again and again. The script is quite solid, as shown in the movie, it is the extensive use of jumping and white space. The comprehensive narrative is not suitable for Tsui Hark. Tsui Hark insists on innovating film expression methods throughout his life, and is rampant in the front. Sometimes loneliness, sometimes misunderstanding, success and failure are all in one. The so-called pioneers are mostly like this. Finally,
will show you the Seven Swords: Chu Zhaonan played by
1, Donnie Yen and the Dragon Sword
The Dragon Sword: All invincible, one sword is effective, the sword is the highest attack weapon. Huiming's sword became sharper and sharper, until he found Xuan Tie and played "Youlong", the sharpest sword in the world. The color is golden and copper, with a reddish color. The sword head may be soft and will shake. The guard is spherical and can change the direction of the sword at will, so it is very flexible. The sword is too sharp and powerful, so when it interrupts someone's sword, it produces a great shock, which is turned away by the small ball in the guard. The sword can make a sound, and when it is hit fast, the sound follows the sword, and the sound is the effect of surround sound.

This person is Fu Qingzhu. He was the executioner of the Criminal Ministry and killed countless people. Huiming picked up the sword and saw that the blade was very long, with many blood stains and gaps on it, and it was very hostile. He took the sword to find Fu Qingzhu, and saw Fu Qingzhu lying in the desert with an official uniform on his body. He saved Fu Qingzhu. The two did not say anything.

4, Dai Liwu's Xin Longzi and Star Sword
Star Sword: Short body, hidden in the clothes, between the lightning and flint, the sword is fast, and the thunder cannot be seen. It is a sword of death desperately sacrificed. It was Huiming who specially called Xin Longzi. Meteor was set up because he had no defense and something had to hold him back. When the sword is out normally, the shooting star at the tail of the sword can help him, but when he is mad, the shooting star will hit him, so as to collect his edge. In the battle of Wuzhuang, Xin Longzi fought the most excessively, and he kept beating himself.

It is a sword of seeking, representing rebirth, simplicity and perseverance. This is Master Huiming's first sword to Tianshan, the purpose of which is to open the mountain and split the rocks and rebuild the new life. At the time of casting, due to the limited materials, the blade was rough and wild, reflecting the unrest and resentment in the early days of the Ming Dynasty. Although this sword represents the anger of the swordsman, the body of the sword contains strong vitality, which is no disadvantage and strong everywhere. If compared with the "Yulong" of Master Huiming, the two swords are two extremes.
