Chapter 693
But Huang Feihong is not a chivalrous man in the traditional sense, because he is not in the rivers and lakes, but in the people.
In past martial arts works, Jianghu is an existence far away from the temple. However, Master Huang has been unilaterally trying to maintain friendly relations with the government, and after finally defeating the Americans and rescuing the women captured by the traffickers, he also gave all the credit to the Admiral. He knows when to argue with reason, when to give face to the government, he is a martial artist who understands people. On the other hand, when the government came to arrest people, he did not resist himself, but asked his apprentices to resist, delayed time, and gave the thirteenth aunt and the Chinese workers who escaped from the traffickers a chance to escape.
He knows the importance and the general situation, has the traditional Chinese virtues, and although he hates the invaders, he has the pure heart to tolerate and try to understand Western culture. In the troubled times, Yan Zhendong lost himself; under the collision of Chinese and Western cultures, Ya Chasu lost his way, but although Huang Feihong was confused, he was not lost, he was stubborn and conservative, but he did not lose his flexibility, what a Huang Feihong!"
"Let's talk about Aunt Thirteen, according to modern words to describe Aunt Thirteen, that is, Bai Fumei, who returned from studying abroad, has both the generosity and civilization of modern Western women, and the conservative elegance of traditional Chinese women, is a perfect lover, a lover of dreams.
But she is not just a vase, Aunt Thirteen has a relatively good Western-style education in the UK, and has a strong ability to accept Western modernization and the new things it produces, and she is destined to have a lasting influence on Huang Feihong from the moment she returns to China and walks into his life.
Of course, I have to say here that the power of love is really strong, between Aunt Thirteen and Huang Feihong, there is a generation difference in their own generations, but in the end, the two can love each other, which is already a breakthrough in itself.
Huang Feihong's rejection from the beginning to hesitation to entanglement and then to face calmly, this is not only the process of traditional ethics and love struggling in Huang Feihong's heart, but also Huang Feihong's process of skeptical to groping and then tolerating learning of the Western civilization represented by the thirteenth aunt, which is a process of transition from tradition to modernity. ”
Yan Zhendong and Liang Kuan, the relationship between the two is set, and the direction of the story is also very interesting.
Liang Kuan, who was in distress at the beginning, did not succeed in apprenticeship (worship Huang Feihong) due to various coincidences and misunderstandings, and his part-time job was also difficult everywhere, and he was chased and killed by the Shahe Gang.
Yan Zhendong is different from other movie villains, he was not a traitor at the beginning, but he is the most tragic character in the movie, and he is a character who has a great impact on Huang Feihong's thoughts.
His decline and ups and downs are a tragic condensation of that era and the people of that era. He came all the way south from Dongshan to Guangdong City, wanting to open a museum to accept apprentices and open up his own martial arts career, but he was penniless, precarious, and was excluded by the locals, so in order to become famous, he inexplicably went to Huang Feihong to challenge, and had a hatred for him for no reason.
His trick is the golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, which is a conservative martial art, symbolizing the extremely stubborn traditional conservatism, but in the end he was killed by foreign guns, in his body concentrated the traditional conservatism and stubbornness, but also concentrated the traditional powerlessness to fight back against the modern, so his life is tragic, his death is inevitable, and he was not killed by Huang Feihong, but by the foreign gun that symbolizes the advanced civilization, his death is the product of the ancient Eastern civilization meets the modern civilization of the West.
Everything is accidental, but it is also inevitable, it depends on how you look at and understand this accident, how you recognize and face this necessity. As he said to Huang Feihong before his death: "No matter how good our kung fu is, we can't beat foreign guns and cannons." ”
Liang Kuan began to apprentice with Yan Zhendong, because Yan Zhendong lost himself step by step in order to become famous, and even joined forces with the evil Shahe Gang, which made Liang Kuan cold and angry, and finally turned to Huang Feihong.
It wasn't so much that Huang Feihong saved him, but that he himself made his choice between Yan and Huang. In a sense, he is also the link and medium between Yan Zhendong and Huang Feihong, he saw from Yan Zhendong the ugliness of traditional conservatism by unscrupulous means to achieve the end, and also saw from Huang Feihong the chivalrous and courageous side of traditional culture and open-mindedness and tolerance of new things.
And Huang Feihong also saw a glimmer of hope from Liang Kuan to save people who had lost their footing in tradition, and through Liang Kuan's hook, he also saw the end of conservatism on the other side of his bones, Yan Zhendong's death is proof, and it has also had a great impact on the deeper transformation of his ideological concepts. ”
Lin Jun rarely made a long commentary on "Once Upon a Time".
And that's just the beginning.
Many media that followed closely followed have made good comments on "Once Upon a Time".
"This is a new-school martial arts movie, the kung fu of a generation of grandmasters, but it is extremely elegant, refreshing, without a trace of anger, but it is extremely powerful! "Once Upon a Time" has all the elements of a commercial blockbuster, love, humor, the duel between justice and evil! Nationalism is not humble or arrogant in it, just right, in the torrent of the conflict between Chinese and Western civilizations, the individual's thinking, grasp and transformation of his own destiny is meticulous and precise, but it is to the point, not boring. Highly recommended!" - "The Age of Light and Shadow"!
"A new martial arts, an audio-visual feast, may become the benchmark for a new generation of martial arts films!" - "Time"
"There is no doubt that Once Upon a Time is a classic!"
"It is worthy of Lin Xiao, who can write martial arts such as "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Dragon Babu", in "Huang Feihong", he once again interpreted what it means to be a great man!"
The praise rate is more than ninety, which is of course due to the money in place, but in itself, it is enough to show that the quality of the movie is indeed excellent!
This can be seen from the number of films scheduled by major theaters for "Once Upon a Time".
The number of films scheduled for "Once Upon a Time" will reach more than 50% on the day of its release!
And you must know that in this schedule, although there are no other blockbusters released yet, there are many films that are being released.
If it weren't for the extreme optimism about "Once Upon a Time", it would be impossible to reach this number.
The results also proved that "Once Upon a Time" is indeed good enough!
July Flowing Fire!
Don't want it if it's hot, but Lin Xiao still has to take the crew members to start the national publicity.
There is no way, although I am very optimistic about the box office of "Once Upon a Time", and the reputation of the screening is also good, but the publicity still has to be promoted.
"Huang Feihong" is touted as not wanted, and it is the work of Lin Xiao, a martial arts master, so it has attracted a lot of attention.
On the day of its release, "Once Upon a Time" beat several other films and won more than 50% of the film schedule. It's not just about blockbuster treatment anymore.
