"Brother Jing!"
Huang Rong, dressed in women's clothing, stood on the bow of the boat and shouted to Guo Jing in the reed marsh.
Guo Jing took a closer look, rubbed his eyes, looked again, and still couldn't believe it.
Huang Rong said again, "Don't you recognize me? I'm your Huang Xiandi."
The eagle-shooting boy then recognized that this was the little beggar Huang Rong he had helped.
The story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes begins here.
The above clip comes from the first chapter of Goose Factory's latest 60-episode martial arts drama " Jin Yong's Martial Arts World ", "Iron-Blooded Heart".
70. Audiences born in the 1980s should be able to recognize that the above is the classic passage in the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The voice of Qiao Huangrong in Weng Meiling's version of "Brother Jing" has long formed the memory of a generation.
For more than 40 years since then, the clouds in the world have gathered and dispersed, and dispersed and gathered again. Martial arts dramas were once very popular, with Guo Jing alone, and many other actors including Zhang Zhilin, Li Yapeng, Hu Ge, Yang Xuwen, etc.
However, the once prosperous martial arts drama scene has finally faded away.
In recent years, there have been very few real major martial arts drama productions.
When "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" was released, the first thought of many viewers was one word: doubt.
There are too many remakes of Jin Yong’s stories, can you come up with something new? Can this new audience, who are addicted to fairy and puppet dramas, still be interested in martial arts dramas?
Ke’s drama shot to No. 1 on the Goose Factory martial arts drama list one hour after it started airing.
After watching 4 episodes of "Iron Blood" in a row, I dare say that this is the best martial arts drama in the past 7 years.
No matter how many people doubt it, I always believe that there is still a huge market for well-made martial arts dramas. Some people are filming martial arts and others are watching martial arts. How can we say that martial arts has declined?
But this martial arts drama, which brings together five great directors including Yang Lei in "The Three-Body Problem", Cao Dun in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", and Deng Ke in " and Feng Xing ", will it revive martial arts?
It depends on what kind of Jin Yong's martial arts world is hidden in "Iron-Blooded Heart".
1: The story comes into play in one second
The wild sand of the desert covers the sky and the sun.
This is the Mongolian desert during the Southern Song Dynasty in 1206 AD!
Young man Guo Jing was playing around with the Mongolian prince Tole when suddenly a stone flew over and seven knights came riding on the wind and sand.
Six knights stood in the yellow sand, and a blind old man sat in front of a child: child, what is your mother's name?
"My mother's name is Li Ping" "Where is your father?" "My father's name is Guo Xiaotian."
Blind hero Ke Zhen'e said to Guo Jing: My child, we have been looking for you for six years just to find you. Are you willing to teach you martial arts and let you take revenge?
The wind and sand are getting stronger, the soundtrack is soul-stirring, the seven weirdos and the six-year-old child are like a painting in the desert.
Guo Jing replied: I am willing, I want to learn my skills and avenge my father.
Then the young man turned his head and bowed: "Seven masters are on top, and I will be bowed by the disciples."
This is the beginning of young Guo Jing’s learning and the beginning of the story.
I really didn’t expect that Yang Lei would put the story of Niujiazhuang in the second episode. The whole drama opens with Guo Jing’s apprenticeship.
This is a big scene with a movie quality. This shot made me fall into the drama. The artistic conception comes out and cannot be stopped.
Iron-blooded and loyal, Jin Yong's martial arts must have such fierceness and ruggedness.
The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan seek out Guo Jing and teach him martial arts in order to prepare him for the Central Plains martial arts competition with Yang Kang.
This also leads to the following three famous scenes of the Condor Shooting:
The first famous scene is when Guo Jing makes his debut.
Although it took the Jiangnan Seven Monsters six years to find Guo Jing and went through many hardships, they never expected that teaching him martial arts would be even more difficult.
Almost all the protagonists in Jin Yong's works are talented in martial arts, with one exception, Guo Jing.
Just like what the Seven Monsters said in the play, if you teach him ten moves, he will learn one move at most. From childhood to adulthood, he can never improve his martial arts.
But anyone who has watched the Condor Shooting knows that Guo Jing is not really talented and stupid. After receiving the guidance of Quanzhen Taoist Master Ma Yu, he immediately made rapid progress.
The Seven Monsters discovered something was wrong and followed Guo Jing late at night, only to find the skull of Mei Chaofeng practicing Kung Fu. They mistakenly thought that he had learned Mei Chaofeng's Kung Fu and wanted to abolish Guo Jing's Kung Fu.
Fortunately, Ma Yu appeared and explained the reason, which allowed Guo Jing to become a disciple.
The seven monsters decided to chase the injured Mei Chaofeng and let Guo Jing go to the Jiangnan appointment by himself.
This leads to the second most famous scene in
, when Guo Jing meets Huang Rong by chance.
Compared with the wireless version, Yang Lei's narrative has really advanced by leaps and bounds like Guo Jing's kung fu. In just the first episode, Guo Jing has already gone from the desert to being in the south of the Yangtze River.
It was here that he met the love of his life: Huang Rong.
Just like the old version, Huang Rong looked like a little beggar at this time. He stole a few steamed buns from the store and was picked on by the waiter.
Not only did Guo Jing lend money to help, he immediately invited guests to a restaurant.
Turned on the "Flower Flower" mode, allowing the Miss Taohua Island to experience the "money power" of the Golden Sword Prince Consort online, and treated Huang Rong to a full banquet.
After eating and drinking, Huang Rong also gave him a mink fur coat. Huang Rong said that he liked his sweaty horse, so he gave the horse to Huang Rong without saying a word.
But Huang Rong’s meal was not in vain. After eating Guo Jing's meal, you will follow Guo Jing for a lifetime. This is probably the most cost-effective meal in Jin Yong's martial arts world.
Iron-Blooded Heart is not only the story of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, but also another pair of classic CPs. This is exactly the third most famous scene of
: Mu Nianci competes in martial arts to attract a bride.
Yang Kang, the adopted son of King Wanyan Honglie of the King of Jin, appeared at the contest to recruit a bride.
He defeated Mu Nianci first with several moves, then took away Mu Nianci's red shoes to tease the girl. Guo Jinglu saw the injustice and took action. In the end, he was no match for Yang Kang and was beaten until he vomited blood.
At the moment of life and death, Taoist Priest Wang Chuyi came to help, but was injured by Yang Kang's men.
Guo Jing carried Wang Chuyi on his back to avoid being chased. At the critical moment, Huang Rong fell from the sky.
First, he pressed down on the top of Mount Tai, and then rewarded the pursuing Four Ghosts of the Yellow River with several large tiles.
Guo Jing escaped from danger, but Yang Kang met Yang Tiexin by chance and saw Yang Tiexin's death in a fight.
The story ends here, and the story of "Iron-Blooded Heart" has just begun. Next, Guo Jing will, with Huang Rong's help, become a true hero for the country and the people.
And "Iron-Blooded Heart" is only the first unit of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World". After telling the story of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Xu Bing's "Ashes of Time", Deng Ke's "Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar", Cao Dun's " "Huashan Sword Theory" and Zang Xichuan's "Nine Yin Manual" will successively tell the story of the Five Jue.
This is the origin story of Huang Yaoshi, the "East Evil", Ouyang Feng, the "West Poison", Duan Zhixing, the "Southern Emperor", and Hong Qigong, the "Northern Beggar".
Many martial arts masters will eventually be involved in an undercurrent of competition for the "Nine Yin Manual".
The climax of this prequel story is, of course, the sword debate on Mount Huashan.
2: Perception, the feeling of "The Condor" is still the same
After watching 4 episodes of "The Iron-Blooded Heart", I have to sum up my impressions in three words, that is: martial arts feeling.
Where does the sense of martial arts come from?
First, the depth of feelings.
Whether it is the character setting, the presentation of dramatic conflicts, or the famous scenes of the story, it all gives people a familiar look and feel.
There is no need to explain the plot of the first 4 episodes in detail. Everyone should have a general impression in their minds.
What is national martial arts?
The plot hasn't officially started yet, but you are already on it.
Watching the first four episodes, the series has heart-stirring tunes from time to time. A scene can instantly bring up an image in your mind.
Guo Jing meets Huang Rong, there is a martial arts contest to find a bride, Guo Jing shoots a vulture, and the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River, this kind of drama should not be too familiar!
gives people a friendly and familiar look and feel.
Second, the world is huge.
One regret about the 83 version back then was that the scene was limited.
In the new version, only if the world view is made grand and realistic enough, will the audience have the urge to enter it.
In the previous episodes, "Iron-Blooded Heart" has shown scenes one after another -
The scenery of Mobei, the endless loess, flying sand and rocks, which cannot be felt through special effects.
The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, a small boat, and children in the rivers and lakes, all of them are at the level of ink painting.
The regrets of the past have been made up for.
The third is the beauty of martial arts.
Are there only big ones in Jianghu?
What allows us to see the texture of martial arts is the subtleties of Jianghu.
I have to say that Yang Lei’s shots remind me of continuous Chinese painting.
Jianghu is long, shrouded in smoke, ups and downs.
The atmosphere of every scene is created to be real and vivid, opening up a corner of the giant screen of the martial arts world.
The arena built in "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is a arena based on real culture. It is not a fantasy, but a hidden understanding of China in history in the details, reaching the audience's "reasonable" imagination of the martial arts world.
This is the beauty of martial arts.
3: The martial arts style is traditional and powerful.
In a martial arts drama, of course you have to fight.
In the first 4 episodes of "Iron Blood", although masters like Dong Xi Xi Du have not yet appeared, there are 5 martial arts scenes throughout the first 4 episodes. The martial arts scenes are intensive and traditional, creating a "pragmatic" and "retro" atmosphere for the audience. The world of martial arts.
is awesome!
One, the Mongolian desert, the battle between the Seven Jiangnan Monsters and Mei Chaofeng
All the martial arts in "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" are designed according to the characters' personalities.
For example, Jiangnan's strange moves change, the emphasis is on coordination, gathering the strength of seven people, it's like one person.
Mei Chaofeng has become obsessed with practicing the Nine Yin Manual, and his moves are fierce and deadly.
Their battle was characterized by constant changes and changes in moves. In the end, both sides were evenly matched. Any slight help could change the situation of the battle, and this help was Guo Jing's sword.
In this battle, there is slow motion, but more of it is a competition of moves. Ma Yu, the seven monsters from Jiangnan, fight against Mei Chaofeng. The two sides were going back and forth, there was no air wave, it was all a collision of cold weapons.
Night Bamboo Forest Fighting is not only to stimulate the audience's hormones, but also to create a fighting mood. The slow motion controlled by
also highlights the priorities of this fight scene.
The number of moves is meticulous, solid and traditional.
Second, Niujia Village, Yang Tiexin, Guo Xiaotian versus Jin Bing
Qiu Chuji visited Niujia Village at night,
gave Guo Jing and Yang Kang a name, which means not forgetting the shame of Jingkang.
But after he left, Jin Bing arrived. Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian fought against Jin Bing, and the two sides had a fierce night battle.
At first, the two of them fought together, but later it was Guo Xiaotian who protected Yang Tiexin's retreat, and he eventually died in a bloody battle.
Compared with the skills, this fight scene is more about shaping the characters and foreshadowing the story.
Guo Xiaotian died in battle, Yang Tiexin and Yang Kang's mother separated, and Li Ping took Guo Jing to live in Mongolia. The entire story of Condor Shooting began in Niujiazhuang.
Thirdly, Mu Nianci competes in martial arts to recruit relatives, and Guo Jing and Yang Kang compete for the first time.
This battle focuses on character.
Mu Nianci's moves are light and his fighting style is like a scene on the ring.
Unfortunately, I met Yang Kang. Yang Kang was ruthless and scheming, and his moves were also full of frivolity. Each move was not for fighting in the ring, but for flirting with girls.
Guo Jing, on the other hand, was beaten even if the road was rough and he would vomit blood. The young man's righteousness was clearly visible.
This martial arts competition not only established the fate of Yang Kang and Mu Nianci, but also established the characters of several people, leading to the recognition of Yang Tiexin and Guo Jing.
Fourth, Guo Jing and Huang Rong fight against the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River
In this battle, it seems that there are not many masters. But it was fun to shoot.
Guo Jing ran away with Qiu Chuji on his back, Huang Rong descended from the sky and stood high, and with all her skill, she beat the four ghosts in the Yellow River to cry for father and mother.
was finally hung in the net and teased by Guo Jing. It was very enjoyable to watch.
Fifth, Yang Tiexin Wang Chuyi fought a bloody battle with the Jin soldiers
Yang Tiexin and his wife recognized each other, but because of this, their whereabouts were exposed, and Wanyan Honglie led troops to encircle and suppress them.
Wang Chuyi and Yang Tiexin, who came to help, fought all the way and broke out, but were eventually surrounded by Jin soldiers in the mountains. Yang Tiexin committed suicide in order not to drag everyone down. This was another tragic fight scene at the beginning.
Four episodes and five battles, each with its own profound meaning!
The first scene explains the grievances between the Jiangnan Seven Monsters and Mei Chaofeng, and then introduces the origins of Guo Jing, Mei Chaofeng, and Huang Yaoshi. The second scene of
uses the story of the previous generation to pave the way for the origin of Guo Jing and Yang Kang.
The third game highlighted Guo Jing and Yang Kang’s combat power and personality at this time.
The fourth game was the first time Guo Jing and Huang Rong teamed up to fight against the enemy, and the last time they were killed in the Xiangyang battle. The fifth game of
pushed Yang Kang to the forefront of family scandal and national hatred. He also finished explaining the grievances of the previous generation. The next story is left to the young people.
These five fight scenes are laid out layer by layer. The fight scenes are not only fight scenes, but also become a part of promoting the plot and shaping the characters.
The so-called martial arts, martial arts comes first, it does not mean that martial arts is more important than martial arts, but that martial arts is more important than knights.
Life and death showdown, the most heroic spirit.
learned the lesson.
4: The acting skills of all the cast members are online, and this is the biggest surprise.
Before I started watching the drama, when I saw that the starring roles were this and Bao Shangen, I was a little worried like everyone else. I am afraid that they are too young and their acting skills are not sophisticated enough to hold up the show.
But the biggest surprise is this sand.
The performance of this character in the first 4 episodes was far beyond my expectations.
He really captured Guo Jing's character traits perfectly. His whole person exudes the righteousness of a prairie man. He is really stupid, but he is not stupid. But the road goes straight, chivalrous and courageous, emphasizing friendship.
Under his interpretation, the character has a kind of insensitivity, he is generous and generous, and he is very heroic. What does Huang Rong like to eat? Click, don’t save money for me, I still have it.
But he is very clear about right and wrong. He begs for Mu Nianci's shoes when there is injustice on the road, and fights to the end even when he is beaten until he vomits blood.
In addition to being simple and honest, he is also as wise as a fool. He can't defeat him at any moment of life and death. He ran away with Qiu Chuji on his back. If Guo Jing was just stupid, how could he have defended Xiangyang for so many years.
I really like this performance.
Secondly, Bao Shangen is not bad either.
Compared to Weng Meiling's prettyness and Li Yitong's delicateness, Bao Shang En plays a role that is exquisite and clear, and he performs the character's cleverness without holding back.
As for veteran actors, although veteran actors such as Yin Zhusheng and Wang Jinsong have not yet appeared.
But Yang Tiexin, played by Ji Chenmu, is surprising.
As soon as he appears, the whole drama immediately and inexplicably adds a layer of heaviness from the previous generation.
Next, it depends on how the upcoming Gao Weiguang, Zhou Yiwei, Mingdao, and Peter Ho will play the classic roles of East Evil, West Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar.
There is no absolute protagonist in "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World". Only when everyone's story comes to light can the world be the most real and complete.
5: Jin Yong’s martial arts world, please leave a message
After watching four episodes, I was slapped in the face!
As an old viewer, I have a preconceived idea of the 1983 version. I always feel that the quality of later versions is uneven and cannot capture the flavor of the original work.
But looking at the strengths of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", it is not like a breakthrough, but a retro.
adds more emphasis on type and audience-pleasing elements. It’s the reason why the series debuted.
Looking at some of the keywords that appeared in the comment area of this drama: cute characters, light comedy, fast pace...
But in addition to the modern and flattering style, director Yang Lei has not forgotten the retro restoration of the genre.
To put it bluntly, the key to impressing old martial arts fans is whether or not it has a martial arts flavor.
If you say "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" does not have a martial arts temperament, I disagree.
Whether it is the opening scene of the heroic and courageous plot, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, or the character's behavior that puts "righteousness" first, or the family and national conditions of Guo Jing and Yang Kang who never forget the shame of Jingkang.
The knights in Jin Yong’s martial arts world are serious.
However, "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" certainly cannot bring back the Jin Yong Martial Arts era.
For a long time, martial arts have been called adult fairy tales, but it’s already 2024. What else can martial arts dramas mean to today’s young audiences?
A more cool kung fu spectacle, or a more enjoyable drama-watching experience?
Wuxia is difficult to do.
The fact is that the golden age of martial arts dramas has long been left behind as the best golden age of martial arts. Martial arts cannot and does not need to return to its peak.
The audience this time loves to watch fairies falling in love more, and everyone just wants to pass through this tired world in style.
's heart for Zhengyi Jianghu has faded away.
This is the result of the times. The trend is irreversible.
In fact, heroes cannot change the current situation, and the world is far away.
But the reason why martial arts is wonderful is because you do it knowing you can't do it.
With Guo Jing's stupidity, who could have imagined that he could become a great hero?
Xiangyang is a small place, but who would have thought that Guo Jing and his wife would have stayed there for so many years?
cannot win, but we must fight. Even if you can't keep it, you have to keep it.
The so-called martial arts does not mean that you will definitely win if you fight, but it is a kind of belief without hesitation.
Whether "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" can be a hit or not, whether it can lead martial arts dramas back to their peak, is actually not important.
Let the audience see a good domestic martial arts drama, it will be worth it!
To the older generation of viewers, Jin Yong's martial arts world may be like "a vague dream that seems like a déjà vu, and the waves in the heart are now present". The world is far away, so "put aside the worldly affairs and put an end to the grudges and accompany us to the horizon."
