A Brief Introduction to the legendary swordsman's Story
In the Ming Dynasty, the secret of the Forbidden City, the sunflower collection, was mysteriously stolen. The Grand Eunuch of the Royal Guards suspected that it was the work of Lin Zhennan, an ancient architect. Zuo Lengchan, an expert in Wulin, was bribed to secretly verify the treasure, and Gu of the Royal Guards was also sent to Beijing to attack the Lins. At the same time, heroes from all walks of life killed each other in pursuit of the place where books were collected. Ling Huchong, an outspoken disciple of Huashan Sect, and his sister Yue Lingshan were ordered to rescue the commander-in-chief Lin Zhennan, which coincided with the great disaster in Fu Lin. Zuo Lengchan pursued harmony all the way.
When Ling Huchong first entered the Jianghu, his martial arts were mediocre. Later, he was awarded the Nine Swords of Dugu by the Master of Sword School, and got to know Quyang, the elder of the Magic Sect, and Liu Zhengfeng, the Hengshan Sect. When they were dying, they gave Ling Huchong the legendary swordsman a song. When Ling Huchong escaped capture, he accidentally met Ren Yingying, the only daughter of Sun Moon Shinto leader. In the struggle with the "Royal Guards" of the East Factory, Ling Huchong stepped forward, only to be surprised by the hypocrisy of his master Yue Buqun. In the end, Ling Huchong defeated Master with the Nine Swords of Dugu, who saw through the world of mortals, and decided to retire from the Jianghu with other disciples.
be in the background
When filming "the legendary swordsman", director Hu Jinquan quit halfway, which caused the film to run aground for a time.
This film is the work of six directors, namely Tsui Hark, Hu Jinquan, Cheng Xiaodong, Li Huimin, Yangye Jin and Xu Anhua.
Elliot Ngok originally played Lin Zhennan in the legendary swordsman. After Hu Jinquan quit, Tsui Hark asked him to make up the play, but Elliot Ngok angrily refused, so Tsui Hark had to perform in Jinshan.
Sally Yeh, who originally starred in Ren Yingying, finally resigned on the grounds of health.
Creation background
1989, when Tsui Hark was preparing Jin Yong's masterpiece the legendary swordsman, he thought of Hu Jinquan, who was already in semi-retirement at that time, and invited him to direct the film.
Shooting storm
The cooperation between Hu and Xu, who was predicted as a "movie story" by filmmakers, went wrong. Less than half of the film was made, but the two became stiff.
Speaking of reasons, it is on Tsui Hark. Since the conduit is handed over to Hu Jinquan, we should listen to his command, fully cooperate and respect his creative thinking and directing style. However, as a producer, Tsui Hark interfered with Hu Jinquan's directing work and constantly injected his views on the legendary swordsman into the film.
Old Hu Ben thought this was a normal artistic argument, and some of it was reasonable, but he didn't take it to heart. But after a long time, he realized that his directorship was almost empty. Tsui Hark's comprehensive involvement in various fields of film made Khufu useless.
What Hu Jinquan can't accept most is that he and Tsui Hark have great differences on the legendary swordsman's creative ideas. One is to carry out the romantic and simple style to the end, and the other is to make a political fable with sharp style and amazing vision, borrowing the past from the present.
No one gave in, which meant Hu Jinquan's failure, because the cast of the legendary swordsman mainly came from Tsui Hark's film studio, but he was alone. Although Xu Anhua, a female disciple, heard about it and later came to help, it was useless. Therefore, the filming was not over, Hu Jinquan left the actor, and the rest of the directing work was done by Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong and Li Huimin.
