While Xia Duoyu was sighing, the talks between Dongchang and the Fusang people broke down. The leading eunuch sent a signal to the gunboat for support. Unexpectedly, he was beaten to pieces as soon as he appeared.
At this time, two people suddenly appeared on the top of the hall. One of them was Wu Zhaotang, who looked like a Fusang man. Next to him was a person wearing a pink shirt and a half-mask. He held a cattail leaf fan in his left hand with a pair of sun embroidered on it. moon.
The mysterious man signed himself up as "Eastern Undefeated", then jumped down from a high place and ripped off the head of the leading eunuch of the East Factory.
Immediately, the words "Swordsman: The Unbeaten East" were printed on the screen.
"The scale seems a bit big."
"There was blood flowing."
"I thought the leading eunuch of the East Factory was a master, but he got a lunch box when he came up."
"Isn't it the Invincible Dongfang played by Gu Yao?"
"It's her."
"Then why does it sound like a man's voice?"
…
Amid the doubts of the audience, the plot began to unfold slowly and the story line became clear.
[Dongfang Bubai was dissatisfied with the Miao people being discriminated against by the Han people, so he imprisoned the former Miao leader Ren Woxing, seized the Sun and Moon God Sect, and joined forces with the Japanese Fusang Ronin to support themselves in order to unify the world.
Linghu Chong and his junior sister Yue Lingshan planned to meet with friends from the Sun Moon Sect a year later, and made an appointment with other Huashan disciples to go to Niubei Mountain to live in seclusion and withdraw from the world. 】
Yue Lingshan, played by Su Qin, one of the Four 95 Little Flowers, and Yang Shishi, played by popular actress Zhang Jiayi, wear light makeup, have white and tender skin, beautiful facial features, and beautiful figures, without losing the tenderness and youthful atmosphere.
Pei Jie, who plays Linghu Chong, although not as good looking as Xu Chenyi, can still be called a handsome guy, especially when he smiles, he has a pair of charming dimples.
Xia Duoyu secretly sighed, Jiang Ge is so brave. To find a pure newcomer to play the male lead in such an important movie, he has to take countless risks. This is because he has full confidence in his script, directing ability, and box office appeal.
Next, Sarutobi Sungetsu's flying over the grass and Hattori Qianjun's sword energy slaying horses, as well as Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai's light kung fu, all reveal a strong martial arts style.
The scene turned, and in a thatched house, two more of the four post-95s florets appeared, namely Ren Yingying played by Liu Ya and Lan Fenghuang played by Ling Xue. Their heads were wrapped in bandanas, their upper bodies were big-breasted shorts, and their lower bodies were pleated skirts. Inlaid with embroidered lace, tied with an embroidered apron, and added with a little exquisite silver ornaments to set it off, it is naturally unique and beautiful.
In the beautiful melody played by the flute, three-stringed string instrument and guqin, a female voice sang: "The sea laughs, the tide surges across the shore, the ups and downs follow the waves to remember the present, the sky laughs, the tides in the world one after another, God knows who loses and wins..."
The audience immediately became excited. This must be the new song that Django mentioned in the movie "The Swordsman: The Undefeated"!
In fact, the song "A Smile in the Sea" did not go smoothly. At that time, Tsui Hark was going to shoot the movie "Swordsman", so he asked his friend Huang Zhan to make the theme song. Huang Zhan immediately agreed. After the first and second drafts were rejected, , he stayed at home for several days in a row and created six more drafts in one breath and submitted them, only to have them all returned.
Later, he asked Tsui Hark what he wanted. Tsui Hark said that what he wanted was the artistic conception and melody of a martial arts master who quit all disputes and played with his close friends after washing his hands.
In desperation, he casually flipped through the ancient book "Music Records" and saw a sentence, "Great music must be easy." He thought that the most "easy" thing was the Chinese pentatonic scale Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, so he responded The words were changed into Yu, Zheng, Jiao, Shang, and Gong. Then he went to the piano and tried it out. The sound was melodious and melodious, and had the charm of ancient Chinese music. So he wrote the entire melody along the way, and it took him half a year to write it down. I filled out the lyrics for hours, and in the final submission I included the sentence "If you want love or not, please hire someone else."
Later, this song won the Baodao Golden Horse Award for Best Movie Theme Song and the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Movie Theme Song.
The lyrics are divided into Cantonese and Mandarin versions, but they are almost the same. Compared with the Cantonese version, the Mandarin version lacks the three words "一声" and "only" in the first two sentences. They were removed to make the Mandarin version better. pronounce.
In the film, Jiang Ge used the Mandarin version sung by Qin Shiyue. Like "A Chinese Ghost Story", the Cantonese version required a more suitable singer to sing.
"The mountains and rivers laugh and the rain is far away
How much do you know in the world of mortals?
The breeze's laughter actually causes loneliness
There is still an evening photo left of the pride..."
The rhythm of drums was suddenly added to the accompaniment, and the steady beating of the drums made the melody sound lower and lower, first declining and then rising, with twists and turns.
"Qingfeng Smile" seems to be a response to the previous "Canghai Smile", "Jiangshan Smile" and "Cangtian Smile". This smile is a helpless smile. No one responds, only silence, and the figure of the hero is facing the glow of the evening sun. Here, the artistic conception is beautiful, but the contrast between the pride and the evening photos brings loneliness and sadness.
In Qin Shiyue's touching singing voice, in Liu Ya's sad expression, through the integration of sound and picture, everyone is brought into the psychological world of the character.
It seems like...
I am the only one who has seen through the world. Everyone is drunk and I am alone awake. Who can complain about this?
"The laughter of the common people is no longer lonely
The pride is still smiling foolishly
La la la..."
In the end, even the "common people" were laughing, so free and easy, so natural.
The whole world is laughing, silence is not there, and we, who are just a drop in the ocean, why should we look for trouble? When we know ourselves, we forget about each other, we are free and at ease, not bound by the secular world.
The audience followed the imagery of the music and fell into desolation and loneliness step by step.
This...
Is it listening to music or watching a movie?
The couple Xia Duoyu and Ma Zhu frowned at this moment.
The reason for this expression is not because the song is not good or the movie is not good, but because the combination of the song and the movie is perfect, giving the characters personality and scene emotions, allowing the audience to enter the plot and follow the rhythm.
This reminds them of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", in which the soundtrack, songs and plot complement each other and achieve perfect fit. You know, this TV series won nine awards at the Golden Eagle Awards.
Could it be...
Just as they were thinking about it, the plot came to the first climax.
[On the thatched roof, Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang drank and talked about Linghu Chong.
Suddenly, there was an unusual movement and smell in the woods. Ren Yingying looked up, her expression became serious, and she whispered: "There is murderous intent!"
Lan Fenghuang also noticed it: "Master!"
Ren Yingying ordered: "Notify everyone to be on guard!"
After saying that, she swung the long whip in her hand, hung it on the tree trunk in front, and flew away.
After receiving the notification from Lan Fenghuang, the people in the thatched house immediately blew out the candles and prepared for battle.
In the woods, Hattori Qianjun ordered his ninjas: "Attack!"]
