"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" directed by Tsui Hark and starring Xiao Zhan, Zhuang Dafei, Liang Jiahui and others will be released this year.
Since the filming of this movie began last year, it has been hotly discussed on the Internet.
Tsui Hark's films such as "Green Snake", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "New Dragon Inn", "The Swordsman" and "A Better Tomorrow" are classics in the minds of generations, which makes him the most popular among Chinese martial arts. He holds a pivotal position among film directors. Now that martial arts movies are in decline, many people expect him to be able to turn the tide.
This time, the combination of famous director and top-notch director really laid enough hooks.
However, the smug Director Xu probably did not expect that before the new film was released, he would once again experience the collapse of his house.
On June 29, director Tsui Hark personally flew from Beijing to Hong Kong to present the award to Brigitte Lin. Brigitte Lin hugged Tsui Hark excitedly and confessed: "I love Tsui Hark the most."
Originally, the best martial arts director gave the most beautiful award to the best martial arts director. The moment when the "Invincible East" awards the award can make countless martial arts fans burst into tears from the memory.
Because they once worked together to overcome difficulties, pushing martial arts movies to the top.
At that time, Mr. Jin Yong personally called Tsui Hark to object to Lin Qingxia's starring in the Invincible East, because in the original work, the Invincible Dongfang was a man, and Brigitte Lin, who has "the most beautiful woman in Southeast Asia", has so many charms, how can she play this role well? Role?
But Tsui Hark insisted on his opinion. After the "Swordsman" series was broadcast, Brigitte Lin's "Invincible Oriental" finally became a classic. Today, 22 years later, no one can surpass it.
However, Jin Yong said publicly: "In the future, my works will never be handed over to Tsui Hark for filming."
However, the accusation from this martial arts novel master did not have a great impact on Tsui Hark's director career, because behind his death Standing was Shi Nansheng.
If Brigitte Lin's phrase "Tsu Hark loves me the most" is a verbal statement of the decades of sincere friendship between the two, then Shi Nansheng's phrase "I don't know if Tsui Hark needs me or has loved me in this life. Anyway, I really loved it” is her poignant explanation of the love between the two.
Now, it has been 10 years since Shi Nansheng and Tsui Hark divorced, but there is still a saying in the entertainment industry: without Shi Nansheng, there would be no Tsui Hark today.
It is said that the genius Tsui Hark created the martial arts dream of several generations of Chinese people, so his martial arts world has become a legend in the minds of many Chinese people. However, without Shi Nansheng's companionship and dedication, it is likely that whether Tsui Hark's martial arts world can be established is still unknown.
Shi Nansheng was born in Shanghai in 1951. His father was a businessman and his family was rich. His mother was from a well-known family and was extremely talented. Out of consideration for the social environment at that time, Shi's parents sent their daughter to study abroad very early. Therefore, Shi Nansheng not only read poetry and books since childhood, but was also proficient in five languages. After graduating from
, Shi Nansheng joined a well-known company in Hong Kong. Shi Nansheng, who was extremely knowledgeable, elegant, and outstanding in appearance, not only worked as an actor, but also hosted a political commentary program. Because he did not like the constraints of rules and regulations, he later chose to work behind the scenes.
Before meeting Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng had already achieved impressive results in the Hong Kong film industry. He was also named one of the 50 most influential filmmakers in the world by Variety, an authoritative American industry magazine.
At this moment, Tsui Hark was just a down-and-out young director, harboring a unique movie dream, but suffering from the embarrassment of reality, his ambitions were difficult to achieve, and he often looked depressed and depressed.
A friend of Shi Nansheng believed that both Shi Nansheng and Tsui Hark were talented people with dreams, so he became a matchmaker.
After several contacts, Shi Nansheng was fascinated by Tsui Hark's talent and resolutely quit his high-paying job to help her boyfriend build a "new art city" wholeheartedly.
Later, there was a saying in the Hong Kong entertainment industry: Ten years of mythical new art city, seven monsters joined forces to fight against the heroes.
The seven weirdos refer to Shi Nansheng, Tsui Hark, Eric Tsang, Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Teddy Robin and others. Among them, Shi Nansheng is respected as "Big Sister" by the other five.
Because Shi Nansheng takes care of all matters except shooting, including daily administration, production, distribution, publicity, etc., they can all create with peace of mind.
In the next 10 years, under the leadership of Captain Shi Nansheng, New Art City defeated the then Hong Kong film and television giants Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in less than two years. Several jointly produced "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, "Swordsman" Jianghu" series and other series have successively become myths in the film and television industry.
At that time, Shi Nansheng was the most shining golden sign in Hong Kong, because she always knew "what kind of films can sell at a high price, and what kind of roles and dramas can not only please the public, but also be favored by theater owners."
Therefore, under the protection of this sign, Tsui Hark has always maintained a pure dream and concentrated on making movies, until everyone in the film and television industry recognized the genius director Tsui Hark.
There is also a saying in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which is what Sylvia Chang, one of the three major movie queens in Hong Kong and Taiwan, said, "Tsu Hark is Shi Nansheng's disaster." When
met Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng was 27 years old and Tsui Hark was 28. Everyone knew that they fell in love with each other at first sight.
In the best years of life, meeting the person you want to spend a lifetime with is a fairy tale. After that, the two fell in love while working together to make movies. They achieved great success and became the "god couple" in the media's lens.
Maybe he was impressed by the beauty's dedication, so Tsui Hark said loudly to the media: "Don't worry, Zhao Wenzhuo and I have no scandals."
But as loud as the words are, the slap in the face will be louder.
Because some media are really not afraid of big things, they went to do some statistics, and then there was a rumor: Kung Fu superstar Zhao Wenzhuo has conquered 7 goddess-level beauties, among whom there have been 6 romantic relationships, and Mr. Zhao not only has an illegitimate child, She also became Anita Mui's true love, and even had scandals with Jiang Qinqin and Wu Qili.
It’s a bit hard to guess what Jackie Chan thinks, but Chen Jianbin, who is affectionately called “Big Fat Orange” by netizens, probably doesn’t care, because there are quite a few couples who break up and get back together in this circle, not to mention that he also had a cohabitant. My predecessor of 5 years, Wu Yue.
Of course, Zhao Wenzhuo finally married Zhang Danlu, who was 8 years younger than him. They stayed together for half their lives and had three children together. This is very different from director Xu Da.
It is said that during the 18 years that Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng were in love, Shi Nansheng asked more than once when they would get married, but Tsui Hark always said it was not yet time.
It is said that Shi Nansheng has longed for his own children more than once, but Tsui Hark said that he doesn't like children, so he only wants DINK in this life.
Tsui Hark said that his father gave him too many brothers and sisters. Because the economic situation was not ideal, the whole family could only live in a small house with limited space, so his childhood was full of crowding and quarrels.
These are the lives he doesn't want to recall anymore, so he doesn't want to have children.
Whether Shi Nansheng believes Director Xu’s reason is unknown to others, but many netizens believe that even if Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng had a bunch of children at that time, they would not be able to live that kind of life. After all, their abilities There it is.
But Shi Nansheng has always respected Tsui Hark, so he acquiesced. Then, Director Xu insisted on DINK while enjoying being surrounded by beautiful women. The more famous ones are "the most beautiful ghost in history" Wang Zuxian and the Chinese music queen Ye Sianwen.
The emotional life of beautiful women always makes people curious, especially a strong and sassy beauty like Shi Nansheng. You know, she is the first sister to stand shoulder to shoulder with film tycoons such as Sammo Hung and Run Run Shaw. Not only is she called "Sister" by her "brother" Leslie Cheung, but she is also the prototype of the heroine in the novels of Master Miejie, putting goddesses such as Brigitte Lin and Joey Wong to shame.
So whenever Tsui Hark has a new ambiguity, Shi Nansheng will be chased by reporters with microphones.
Since her birth, Shi Nansheng has been a decent person, with a wealthy family background, outstanding academic resume, and outstanding work ability, which makes her the center of the crowd wherever she goes. However, next to Tsui Hark, she is a tolerant woman.
has been asked too many questions, and there are times when Shi Nansheng, no matter how powerful and elegant, can no longer hide himself, and can only throw out an ambiguous sentence: "What I know is not the truth; what I don't know, I don't know."
has always been grand. Shi Nansheng finally showed her vulnerability to the outside world. She longed for Tsui Hark's dedicated love, but Tsui Hark seemed to only care about movies. Even if he was filming a movie for a month or two, he would not make a call to Shi Nansheng.
A friend sympathized with Shi Nansheng and reminded him, but he said, why did she call her when she had nothing to do?
No explanation, no clarification. Shi Nansheng, who had survived until his 18th year, finally couldn't bear it anymore. When Tsui Hark and Ye Sianwen were in and out of the hotel together again and were photographed intimately by the media, he sadly flew abroad and broke up.
As soon as she left, everything in the company immediately went into chaos. Tsui Hark was also flustered and hurried over to propose.
Not only did he make a remote call this time, but he also came in person. Is this considered a big deal?
Soon, the two registered abroad and flew back to China to hold the wedding. This year Shi Nansheng turned 45 years old.
Shi Nansheng smiled brightly as he listened to the blessings from his relatives and friends, but Director Xu Da on the side had no expression on his face.
Then, the media became worried again and speculated whether Director Xu was forced to get married. After all, it is too rare for a groom to have a straight face at a wedding.
After getting married, Tsui Hark still focused on movies, continued to pursue DINK, and still had scandals, until a young female assistant who was 30 years younger than him appeared next to him, and the two were once rumored to be pregnant.
This year, Shi Nansheng was 63 years old. After his best friend Brigitte Lin grabbed Tsui Hark's car door, looked at the assistant in the car and asked, "Are you worthy of Nansheng?", he finally decided to divorce. When
the media asked again, Tsui Hark said that he and Shi Nansheng had reached a tacit understanding; Shi Nansheng said after silence that they had been together for a long time.
Soon, the media concluded that Tsui Hark and his assistant were in true love because he was willing to squat down and tie his shoelaces on the street.
You must know that in life, Director Xu is Shi Nansheng’s master, and Shi Nansheng has always served him.
Once, after touching the dog, Director Xu wanted to eat fruit and was too lazy to get up and wash his hands. Shi Nansheng naturally went to find wet wipes, wiped his hands little by little, and then offered him fruit.
Therefore, Jin Yong said that Shi Nansheng was a completely infatuated woman who dedicated herself to the talent in her heart.
It turns out that being worshiped and protected by a dazzling woman is not what Director Xu wants.
What he wants is just a little woman who can let him squat on the street to tie his shoelaces. Of course, it may have to be many years younger.
It took Director Xu 36 years of thinking to understand it, which is so embarrassing. After all, there are really not many 36 years in a person's life, even if that person is the "golden sign" Shi Nansheng.
