In the acting career of Leslie Cheung and , he did not appear in many TV dramas, especially compared with his excellent films, few audiences remember the TV dramas he starred in. The work
brings to you today is " Martial Arts Family " starring Leslie Cheung.
This work has been broadcast for a long time. It has been broadcast in 1985, but for the audience who likes Hong Kong dramas, this drama is a classic work full of sincerity.
"Wulin Family" has a bit of a cheesy reputation, but the actors in this show can surprise us. In addition to Leslie Cheung,
also has actors with excellent acting skills such as Maggie Cheung , Xie Xian and so on.
Among them, Maggie Cheung debuted for less than two years at that time, and the green taste on her face can really arouse the audience's love and pity.
Although Maggie Cheung has made great progress in acting and fame now, I think most people still prefer Maggie Cheung at that time.
Leslie Cheung and Maggie Cheung have collaborated in films such as " The True Story of A Fei " and "Evil in the East", but the only TV series is "Wulin Family".
Although the actors of this show are powerful, in the process of preparing the work, the requirements of the producer Li Dinglun can be described as extremely harsh, which is also the power of Hong Kong dramas at that time, and every creator put all their efforts into the work.
just said from the makeup photos of this work, because of the conflict between the makeup photos and Li Dinglun's expectations, the actors had to re-customize their styles, so that the audience could see the current makeup photos of the work.
In my opinion, although "Wulin Family" is based on two martial arts novels by Gulong "Seven Weapons of the Overlord Gun" and "Flying Knife and Flying Knife", but can be regarded as a The prototype of the Hong Kong family drama, after all, this drama revolves around the story told by the Fang family. Fang Haotian, the protagonist played by
Leslie Cheung, is an illegitimate child. After being taken back to the family by his father, he began to take care of the family's weapons business. In the process of contacting and cooperating, he and Liu Er who came to purchase weapons had a good impression, but it was a pity that this good impression had to go through many tests of reality.
Just as Li Dinglun conceived, in the drama "Wulin Family", we are not just watching a family's infighting, he added a lot of thinking about reality in this drama.
After Fang Haotian fell in love with Liu'er, he was framed as a bad guy who stole Liu'er's property in a family fight. Although he later proved his innocence and wanted to get out of the family, his father's critical illness and his uncle's covetousness Leave him alone.
The audience who can understand the work will almost feel a strong atmosphere of pessimism from "Wulin Family", which is not simply to say the tragic ending of the work.
From Haotian's involuntary, to intriguing interpersonal communication, and even the interlocking traps and conspiracies, the complexity of human nature is vividly reflected in this work.
Therefore, in my opinion, although the background of the story of "Wulin Family" is set in ancient times, its scope of application is not limited to a specific era, and it is still worth watching even now.
Of course, due to the age, the production of this work is a bit rough, but the content that this drama can show to the audience is almost the first-class level at that time.
has both one-on-one master battles and dangerous chase scenes, and every character is extraordinarily real.
In particular, I want to talk about Xie Xian. Fang Cunxin plays in the play, and his title of " fourth brother " also comes from this. He portrayed a hypocritical villain who was unscrupulous for power, and the standard was penetrating. There is a big difference between
and the image of the big guy wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar in "Shaolin Soccer" that young audiences know.
Compared with the current film and television dramas, the quality of "Wulin Family" is excellent, but the director seems to beToo many shots are placed on the protagonist group, so that there is not enough space to create the image of the villain.
For example, Fang Cunxin, the villain who has endured for many years in the play, suddenly changed from an amiable uncle to a ruthless villain. There is almost no foreshadowing in the process, which also makes the tragic ending of the work a little embarrassing, but these problems do not affect the whole play. perception.
In general, "Wulin Family" is a well-made batch of works in martial arts dramas at that time and now. Even if the audience now revisits this work, they can feel the sincerity of the main creative team. .
What's more, when watching this drama, we can relive the youthful times of Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung and others, which is a wonderful enjoyment for audiences who like nostalgia. In your opinion, which martial arts films are still not out of date?
