Chapter 310: The Old and New "Huang Feihong"
Liu Jialiang walked out of the Taiping Theater in a daze, and was surprised to see Guan Dexing standing at the door of the theater, seven or eight reporters were surrounding him for non-stop interviews, and more and more reporters were coming.
It didn't take long for Chen Ping'an, Xu Ke, Li Lianjie, Guan Zhilin, Cheng Xiaodong, Liu Jiahui and other members of the Chen family class who received the news to quickly walk out of the staff channel and come to Guan Dexing's side.
"Hello, Mr. Guan!"
Guan Dexing held Chen Ping'an's hand and said peacefully: "You are Chen Ping'an." Rising star, rising star, respectable! ”
"The old man lifts up, I don't dare to be the word 'respectable'. Before you got old, why didn't you know that I would pick you up! ”
Kwan Tak-hing is 82 this year, and he has an indissoluble bond with the Wong Fei Hung series of movies.
From 1946, he spent three years writing "The Legend of Wong Fei Hung" and compiling the "Wong Fei Hung" film series, which was filmed in 1949. In the 70s, he opened the "Bao Zhilin" pharmacy in Hong Kong, and so far, he has starred in a staggering 87 Wong Fei Hung films.
Wong Fei Hung was first put on the screen in 1949 in "The Legend of Wong Fei Hung" starring Kwan Dexing, directed by Hu Peng, and since then this image has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of Kwan Dexing's wonderful interpretation, and Wong Fei Hung has also become synonymous with justice and chivalry.
The last time Kwan Dexing played Wong Fei Hung was in 1980's "Lin Shirong", in which Wong Fei Hung fought with others while writing down the words "the benevolent are invincible", this scene can be said to be the best epitome of Kwan Dexing's interpretation of Huang Feihong, who is forbearant and open-minded, with superb martial arts and deep elder style.
Since then, in people's minds, the image of Kwan Tak Hing has long been inseparable from the name Huang Feihong.
This time, Chen Ping'an remade "Huang Feihong", and specially sent someone to send a premiere invitation to Mr. Guan. Guan Dexing politely refused on the grounds that he was too old to toss, but he still sent his disciples.
Who would have thought that after the premiere ended, the audience left. The reporter who was guarding the door of the theater and preparing to interview the audience accidentally discovered the old and strong Guan Dexing. This is an astonishing discovery, who in Hong Kong is most qualified to evaluate this "Wong Fei Hung" directed by Chen Ping'an. is not Wong Fei Hung's personal disciple Liu Jialiang, but Kwan Dexing, who starred in 87 Wong Fei Hung series of movies.
"I wanted to rest at home. But I couldn't resist my curiosity, and I still wanted to come to the theater to see it with my own eyes. Guan Dexing smiled and took Chen Ping'an's hand, "A'an, it's really hard to buy tickets for your premiere, I sent five apprentices, and I finally bought two tickets, and I still paid three times the price." ”
"Oh, old man, you said that. You have to come. Give us a call and I'll pick you up personally and guarantee the best location for you. Why do you still use your old self to buy tickets? ”
Accompanying Guan Dexing is his apprentice grandson, who is now also a middle-aged man in his thirties: "Mr. Chen, my master just doesn't want to be disturbed, he just wants to watch a movie quietly." ”
"yes." Guan Dexing nodded, "I used to shoot others, but now I finally have the opportunity to watch others take pictures." ”
A reporter shouted: "Old man, what do you think of this "Huang Feihong" tonight? ”
"What to shout. I don't have ears back! Guan Dexing glared at him, stretched out his hand and beckoned to Li Lianjie, who walked over a little shyly. Guan Dexing took his hand and asked, "You are that Shaolin kid, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Hmm. The foundation is very solid, at what age did you start practicing martial arts? ”
"Eight."
"Eight? Not bad, not bad. ”
After praising two sentences, Guan Dexing pulled Chen Ping'an with one hand and Li Lianjie with the other, and turned to the reporter: "Just now someone asked me what I think of this "Huang Feihong", hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it well." I can only tell you after reading it just now. I was speechless in surprise, this was a Wong Fei Hung movie that I didn't expect. ”
"Say so. Do you also think this movie is very exciting? ”
"The word 'also' is used very well, and it seems that we have reached an agreement on this. Actually, why do you ask me? You ask the audience and they will give you a clear answer. After that, he smiled and said to Chen Ping'an: "I heard that your theater has a screening hall of more than 200 people. Can I let the old man take advantage of me and charter the venue? I want to bring my friends, family, disciples, and grandchildren to watch a movie together. ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Guan Dexing's request is undoubtedly the best affirmation of this "Huang Feihong".
Chen Ping'an hurriedly said: "How can this be said that you always take advantage of me, it is clear that I take advantage of you." No problem, you always set a time, notify me in advance, and I will arrange it myself. ”
"Okay, okay, then I'll go back first. I'm old, not as energetic as you young people, I want to go home early to rest, and I'll let my eldest apprentice contact you when I get back. ”
Guan Dexing left in the west accompanied by others, but left behind the apprentice grandson who accompanied him to watch the movie. In an interview with reporters, the apprentice Sun expressed Guan Dexing's feelings after watching the movie: "The same Huang Feihong, the same chivalry, but the interpretation of the word chivalry is completely different. ”
Huang Feihong starring Guan Dexing, who is chivalrous and righteous to eliminate evil and punish adultery, has already penetrated into the human form; And Chen Ping'an's Huang Feihong, starring Li Lianjie, sublimates the word "chivalry", which has more of a sense of heaviness that worries about the world first.
Huang Feihong played by Li Lianjie is more realistic and humane. He will have his own limitations, his own pain and confusion, but he will also have a broader vision and a broader heart. The interpretation of "chivalry" has not only been limited to personal grievances in the rivers and lakes, but has been sublimated to a higher level of national righteousness, family hatred, and national hatred.
In the newspaper the next day, many film critics expressed their opinions on last night's "Once Upon a Time", and after watching this movie, many film critics felt like they were stuck in their throats and unhappy.
"The great man of chivalry is more for the people and the country!"
"Chivalrous sublimation, a new school of martial arts films!"
“…… At the beginning of the film, it set the tone of Chen Ping'an's Huang Feihong's film with awakening and hard work. The magnificent background of the sunrise in the east is reminiscent of the artistic conception of the red sun rising in Liang Qichao's "Juvenile China Says"......"
"Although it was only the premiere last night, and the film has not yet been reviewed by the vast majority of audiences, I think judging from the reactions of thousands of viewers at the scene last night, Chen Ping'an's remake of "Huang Feihong", the new martial arts film directed by Chen Ping'an, has been successful...... Its success lies not only in the delicate and delicate action scenes, but also in its theme of 'national awakening, striving for strength'......"
“…… Just like the impression left by 'Jingwumen' Chen Zhen to the audience, Huang Feihong is not only a martial arts master, but also a chivalrous national hero. The so-called 'times create heroes', Chen Ping'an cleverly linked the fate of the little people with the background of the big era, although Huang Feihong could not change the world with one arm, but it was like a dose of stimulant into the terminally ill country, intending to awaken the ......"
"Huang Feihong played by Li Lianjie is a kind of spiritual sustenance, and it is the best expression of the spiritual core of chivalrous men and chivalrous people who help the world at the same time, perhaps this is Chen Ping'an's new school of martial arts films, as well as an innovative ...... of old martial arts films"
In addition to the affirmation and praise of "Wong Fei Hung", the newspaper also reported Chen Ping'an's remarks that "shoddy follow-up films are digging a grave for Hong Kong films" and "only continuous innovation can make Hong Kong films stay alive forever".
From an objective and fair point of view, "Ming Pao" took "Huang Feihong" as an example to dissect Chen Ping'an's words.
"In the fifties and sixties, the Wong Fei Hung series of films began to flourish, complementing the popular martial arts films. However, in the early 80s, martial arts films declined, and the Wong Fei Hung series of movies was rarely interested.
Just as there were gambling films with brief brilliance in the early 80s, martial arts films and gambling films had brilliance, and then they fell silent. Until this year, Chen Ping'an skillfully used 'innovation' as a medicine to save movies with two themes in one fell swoop, and proved his remarks to the world with his own behavior.
In fact, it is not only martial arts movies and gambling movies, but also horror movies.
Last Christmas, a gambling contract that seemed to be a joke created the extraordinary "Midnight Bell", which created a Hong Kong-style thriller style belonging to Chen Ping'an. It is understood that Japanese horror film directors regard this film as a classic and study it as a textbook, and they do not hide the intention of respecting and emulating it.
Do you remember Chen Ping'an's sentence 'scare you to death', the joke has been realized. The author is by no means gloating, and I sympathize with the unfortunate Japanese audience. The author just wants to remind Hong Kong filmmakers that Chen Ping'an is here.
If you still hold the inherent concept of resting on your laurels, it won't be long before Chen Ping'an and his Dark Horse International will 'dominate the Hong Kong film industry for thousands of years'. Of course, you can also consider it the author's alarmist ......"
Golden Harvest's "Ghost Bride", led by two popular stars, Zhou Yunfa and Wang Guxian, has also been sought after by the audience and praised by the media. Although "Once Upon a Time" was slightly better in the limelight, in the early days of its release, the two theaters of Golden Harvest and Dark Horse were full.
"Brother An, why didn't you let the family play Aunt Thirteen in the first place?" On the wide soft bed, Zhang Min, who was not a wisp, was coquettish in Chen Ping'an's arms.
Chen Ping'an said perfunctorily: "There are bareback shots inside. ”
"That's a stand-in, okay?" Zhang Min pursed his lips.
"I don't want you to be touched by other men in the movie."
Zhang Min had nothing to say.
Guan Zhilin in "Huang Feihong", although the bareback shot was completed by a stand-in, but before she and the Shahe Gang helped to be trapped on the haystack, the other party's wanton on her face, shoulders, and above her chest exceeded Chen Ping'an's bottom line.
"Then when am I going to be your heroine!"
Chen Ping'an smiled: "Since the night of the meteor shower, haven't you become the heroine of my life?" ”
It's a pity that it's not the only one.
Zhang Min shook his head, put his complaints behind him, and put his delicate face against Chen Ping'an's chest: "Brother An, people want to listen to "Meteor Shower". (To be continued) R466
