If you say that there will be a "Legend of the Condor Heroes" released during the Lunar New Year this year, my eyes will roll to the sky.
Because this IP is so familiar and bad, I have been watching it since I was a child. Until June this year, I also watched " Iron Blood and Heart " by this Sha and Bao Shangen. I really saw smart phones from the 1980s. Times, see our generation from our parents’ generation.
In other words, in more than 40 years, a familiar story has been photographed repeatedly by different people and then brought to our eyes.
Among them are the classic version from Hong Kong in 1983, the drama version shot by Zhang Jizhong, the idol version shot by Hu Ge, and the aesthetic version " Ashes of Time " adapted by Wong Kar-Wai, and the funny version " east becomes west" adapted by Liu Zhenwei. Just 》.
Let’s just say that no matter how well written and interesting the story of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” is, it can’t stand to be created like this!
But if you say that this movie was shot by Tsui Hark, then I will immediately roll my eyes back to the sky. Yes, it is so self-conscious!
It must be said that Tsui Hark is really one of the few directors in the Chinese film industry who has sustained creativity and advanced consciousness. From the time he independently directed "Butterfly" in the late 1970s, to now "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be released in 2024.
Over the past 40 years, he has made so many works, but few of them are overturning. Of course, when we talk about Tsui Hark's movies, we cannot use "Douban points" to discuss heroes.
After all, his "Green Snake" and " Butterfly Lovers " only scored 8.6 points. The "Detective Dee" series are even some just-passing works, but no one would say that these movies are bad movies.
Especially in the new martial arts movie genre, Tsui Hark's contribution is the most significant.
Starting from the original thriller and suspense martial arts "Butterfly Change", to the fantasy martial arts movie " New Shushan Swordsman ", to Xu Guanjie's version of " Swordsman ", and then to the " Once Upon a Time in China " series "Seven Swords" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".
Tsui Hark's films can be said to have run through the entire golden age of Hong Kong martial arts films, and in the remaining years, he also supervised the production of classics such as "A Better Tomorrow", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "".
Don’t think that the producer is nothing. Again, you have to look at who the producer is!
For example, "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Cheng Xiaodong. Why do we always mention Tsui Hark when we mention this movie? That's because Cheng Xiaodong was originally just a martial arts instructor, and the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series bearing his name was obviously not in the same style as his "Beauty" from the same period.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" has Tsui Hark's attributes from the story to the movie style, but at Tsui Hark's level, he does not need to emphasize his role in "A Chinese Ghost Story".
What I personally admire the most is Tsui Hark's ability to adapt. For example, "Butterfly Lovers" and "Green Snake" are all familiar folk tales to us, but he is able to adapt them into stunning and innovative ways based on these stories and characters. .
That’s why I said before that if someone has to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" again, then I can only hope that he is Tsui Hark.
Because I think I have read enough of the main story, extras, and adaptations of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but I still can't guess what the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that Tsui Hark showed us is.
And this time, "China Film" has been particularly rigorous in its announcements. Starting from the official announcement of the film and the release of posters in May 2023, we can see that the promotional content is a concept poster. This situation will continue until "The Condor Heroes" in May 2024. This was still the case when "Legend of Heroes" went to the Cannes Film Festival to promote the film.
The confidentiality is very good. Whenever it is used for publicity, it is a poster of Guo Jing riding a sweaty BMW. It is quite "perfunctory"!
This situation continued until November 15th, when the first trailer of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released. After watching the 30-second trailer, I was equally dumbfounded, because the announcement still had the same flavor. I didn’t see any of the leading actors’ faces or makeup.
The trailer started with the two characters Jin Yong, and then five people whose faces and figures could not be seen popped out. I watched it back twice and blindly guessed that these should be the five masters of the Huashan Swordsman.
Then there are the two big characters of Tsui Hark, and then there is a scene of Guo Jing (blind guess) practicing the 18 Dragon Subduing Palms. The camera stops abruptly at the chest, and then there is a scene of running on the grassland just like the poster.
It’s just that the poster shows two eagles and one horse, while the trailer shows two horses and two people. They should be the protagonists Guo Jing and Huang Rong. When the two horses roar past, the sky is full of eagle kites. At the end of the grassland, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is launched. "The Greatest Hero" is 9 words long, and the final scene ends with the army pressing down at the end of the grassland.
It means that you watched half a minute of the trailer of "The Greatest Man", and you didn't receive any effective information. It's really difficult for you to publish these announcements. The cut is "really good"!
Fortunately, fans were told when the movie started to be announced that the story of "The Greatest Hero" is in chapters 34 to 40 of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
I vaguely remember that the content of the novel is about Guo Jing and Huang Rong returning to Peach Blossom Island. Great changes took place on the island, and then they went to Huashan Mountain to discuss swords. In the 40th chapter of "Huashan Mountain Debate", Guo Jing and Huang Rong did come. Xiangyang, but not much was said about the content of guarding Xiangyang City.

I don’t know if Tsui Hark will focus on guarding Xiangyang City this time, but I still look forward to Tsui Hark making a movie with big scenes!
