Chapter 266: Wu Yuchen Writes a New Chapter in Martial Arts

As the male lead, Shen Lian's fight scene must be more wonderful than the two brothers'. First, he used the technique of wine and fire to solve the archers, then wiped out a team of shield soldiers, and finally fought Zhao Jingzhong with knife and gun. At the critical moment, he even blocked a shot for the female lead Zhou Miaotong, making the audience stare intently.

Shen Lian's behavior is jokingly called a "simp" by netizens in later generations, but it is only 2002 now, and it is popular to be affectionate. Jiang Qinqin, who played Zhou Miaotong, was also moved by this, breaking away from the state of despair.

At this time, many people in the theater showed moved expressions, especially the female audience. Seeing the pale appearance on the screen, they all felt a tenderness in their hearts and felt great heartache.

It has to be said that Zhang Guorong's personal charm and temperament are really not comparable to Zhang Zhen!

After a big battle, Shen Lian rescued Zhou Miaotong.

The audience already knew that Shen Lian was the one who copied Zhou Miaotong's family. The dog-blood and complex relationship between the two also let everyone understand Shen Lian's behavior and motivation. Mixed with guilt and compensation, the deep love finally moved the goddess.

Jiang Qinqin, who was lying on Shen Lian's shoulder, finally couldn't help but take out a white handkerchief, covered Shen Lian's wound, and also showed a mournful and complex look: "If it weren't for me, maybe you wouldn't be like this today."

Hearing this, Zhang Guorong stopped his steps. Just at this time, in the vast night, fluttering white snow fell, and the two looked up at the sky full of snowflakes at the same time, and then Jiang Qinqin slowly leaned her head toward Zhang Guorong. At this time, silence is better than sound.

Bathing in snow with you, growing old together in this life!

Blue brick alleys, pitch-black night, white snowflakes, beautiful women in red, and firm figures walking in the heavy snow—this scene was deeply imprinted in the audience's minds, miserable, tragic, and romantic!

At this time, let alone those female audience members, even big men like Zhao Fan were infected and felt an inexplicable emotion in their chests.

"Jiang Qinqin is also super beautiful!"

Although Wei Zhongxian is dead now, the culprit Zhao Jingzhong who stirred up the wind and rain has run away! Must kill him!

The audience's emotions can be said to be firmly grasped by Wu Yuchen. What they want to see, Wu Yuchen gives them. The next moment, the lens jumped directly to the grassland outside the Great Wall. In a beautiful scenery, Zhao Jingzhong galloped with a few confidants, while a horse followed closely behind, which was Shen Lian.

Zhao Fan looked at Shen Lian, who was originally galloping alone on the screen, and then was followed by two horses, appearing in a beautiful scene of the three brothers galloping. He was also infinitely emotional in his heart. If only this were true!

As the film ended, discussions began to appear in the theater: "Enjoyable! Much more enjoyable than last year's 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'!"

Although the front had been paved, the plot progressed so fast here that many people were caught off guard. Many people felt that at least Jiang Wen couldn't die, maybe Shen Lian could stage a scene of robbing the execution ground!

"The moment I found the three of you, you were already dead!" Listening to Zhao Jingzhong say these words in a contemptuous tone, that kind of attitude of looking at small people like ants made the audience's emotions rise again.

He suddenly had an epiphany. Even if he is such an ordinary person, paying for the sake of protecting the loved ones around him is chivalry!

However, Shen Lian is not brainless. He can't beat him in real strength, so he naturally wants to borrow the terrain between the woods. The two figures moved between the woods, and light, falling leaves, weeds, dust, etc., all became weapons for both sides. This is much better than the original version of just fighting hard on the ground!

Finally, after a wonderful duel, Shen Lian made a comeback in a desperate situation and killed Zhao Jingzhong, which also made the whole audience get their wish, and the breath that had been held in their hearts was finally smoothed out!

Shen Lian's side is the main perspective, completing a big battle with Zhao Jingzhong using the weapons of the three brothers in the woods.

Here, the scene of Lu Jianxing's death filmed by Wu Yuchen is slightly different from the original version. The original version filmed Shen Lian standing on the sidelines watching Lu Jianxing being beheaded. Filming it like this obviously makes Shen Lian's character design collapse. The eldest brother can die for his two brothers, but Shen Lian just watched the eldest brother being beheaded, only with a sad expression, and didn't try to rob the execution ground to save him, which makes Shen Lian look a bit selfish!

Therefore, Wu Yuchen filmed that Shen Lian heard the news that Lu Jianxing was about to be beheaded after settling Zhou Miaotong, and rushed to the execution ground. It's a pity that when he arrived, he only saw Jiang Wen's big head fall to the ground.

Last time in the Jiaofangsi, Zhao Jingzhong had an injury on one hand, and the big gun was restricted in the narrow space, so he couldn't exert his strength. This time, when he reached the open place, his strength soared, pressing Shen Lian to retreat repeatedly, which also made the audience feel worried. Looking at this, Shen Lian couldn't beat this Zhao Jingzhong at all. Should he drag Ding Xiu to help?

However, although Shen Lian gained love, his two good brothers were separated from him by life and death. The corpse of the third brother Jin Yichuan was already stiff in the sky full of flying snow; the eldest brother Lu Jianxing was beheaded by a knife at the execution ground.

"The scenery is also filmed beautifully!"

As the sun set, Ding Xiu and Shen Lian parted ways. One is a wanderer in the world, and the other is going south to the south of the Yangtze River to find his sweetheart.

At this time, Zhao Fan also had some feelings and thoughts in his heart. This 'Brotherhood of Blades' is not like those martial arts movies in the past where they are all big heroes. The actions of the protagonists are also led by the nose, and they don't seem to have any chivalry.

"Brother is so handsome! The acting is too good, especially the scene in the sky full of flying snow, it's too artistic. I feel heartache for him when I see it!"

Shen Lian was extremely painful and regretted it. The audience was also provoked to be filled with righteous indignation, and they stood from the perspective of God, naturally knowing all the causes and consequences. The protagonist trio were all good men, but they became innocent victims of the power struggle above.

And then the big battle kicked off. Ding Xiu faced 13 Jin soldiers alone and completed the feat of defeating the enemy, which greatly reversed the audience's impression of him.

And then, when Zhao Jingzhong shouted "Bi Bala Zhao Jingzhong" to a team of Jin soldiers who came to meet him, took off his hat to reveal the pig-tail braid behind his head, and indicated his identity as a traitor to the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin, it could be said that the buff was full, and the audience's anger toward him reached its peak. It turned out to be a super big traitor!

But up to here, seeing Shen Lian's love for protecting Zhou Miaotong, and seeing Jiang Wen's righteousness for his brothers, isn't this chivalry?

"Whether it's the plot or the fighting, it looks much smoother than 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' feels soft and slow, without any strength. Wu Dao's 'Brotherhood of Blades' is too handsome to fight, and the fighting and scenes are all good!"

"And that bow and arrow special effect, it's done too well, I feel it's exactly the same as the real one, especially imposing!"

Zhao Fan and others also discussed with each other:

"It's really good, but I feel it lacks a bit of flavor. I still like the kind of 'New Dragon Gate Inn'."

"You are prejudiced. These two movies don't look like the same style at all! What you want to see is that kind of hero, but Wu didn't have a traditional hero in 'Brotherhood of Blades' at all. They can't even take care of their own lives, so where do they have the heart to do chivalry!"

"Yes, Wu Yuchen is interpreting the meaning of martial arts from a brand-new perspective. It's not just big heroes who are chivalrous; small people can also be chivalrous!"

"I didn't say it wasn't good, I just feel it doesn't have the amazing feeling when I watched 'New Dragon Gate Inn' back then..."

"The times are different, and your taste has also become picky. Let Xu Laoguai film 'New Dragon Gate Inn' again now, you might not necessarily like to watch it."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't argue about this, who do you think is the most powerful in this?"

"That must be Ding Xiu! Look at him, he didn't fall behind anyone in the whole game, and finally killed a team of Jin cavalry alone, very powerful!"

"I think Lu Jianxing is also possible. Look at his explosion. On the way, he also wiped out a team of Wei Zhongxian and Zhao Jingzhong. If he wasn't surrounded by a large number of Embroidered Uniform Guard, he wouldn't necessarily be caught."

"Still Ding Xiu. Although this guy is crazy, he is indeed very powerful. Look, Zhao Jingzhong said his kung fu is good after fighting him. In the end, Zhao Jingzhong beat Shen Lian. If Shen Lian didn't use various terrain conditions and speak to provoke Zhao Jingzhong, he definitely couldn't beat him."

"Hey, do you think if Shen Lian handed over Wei Zhongxian, would it be different?"

"No, didn't you hear what Zhao Jingzhong said? When they were involved in this, they had already planned to silence them!"

At this moment, audiences all over the country who finished watching 'Brotherhood of Blades' were hotly discussing this movie, and a large number of rave reviews about 'Brotherhood of Blades' had already been released.

Actually, these rave reviews are no longer just for 'Brotherhood of Blades' itself, but because of Wu Yuchen's status.

Think about how 'The Promise' was filmed like that, and there were still a lot of media praising it? So now, for 'Brotherhood of Blades' filmed by Wu Yuchen, the leader of Chinese-language cinema, it is naturally also to be praised to the sky!

"'Brotherhood of Blades' ignites the national summer file, and the number of viewers hits a new high!"

"'Brotherhood of Blades', both literary and martial arts are excellent!"

"Literary: fascinating plot, treacherous power struggle, intertwined love and hate, all cleverly integrated by Wu Yuchen. The actors' performances have their own merits, and the whole story is ups and downs. How many twists and turns? It makes people unable to stop from beginning to end!

Martial arts: Not only traditional fast-cut splicing, but the long-lens chase at the beginning is enough to shock people. The design of a large number of weapons in the film makes the whole scene more shocking. At the same time, combining traditional weapons and modern technology makes the action scenes more ornamental. The fighting scenes in the movie are very excellent, each is a masterpiece not to be missed, fists and feet, precise weapon use, making people unable to look away!

In addition, the costumes, props, and art in the movie are all in place, and the details are very particular. Whether it is various weapons or the architecture and street scenes of the Ming Dynasty, it makes people feel as if they are in an ancient world of martial arts.

..."

"Wu Yuchen writes a new chapter in Chinese martial arts—'Brotherhood of Blades'!"

"A 'Brotherhood of Blades' slashed out the future of realistic martial arts movies.

Wu Yuchen's martial arts movie has no flying over walls, the action design returns to the ground, close-quarters fighting, knife-to-knife, metal collision sound replaces the artificial sound effects in traditional martial arts films. What he wants is the sense of danger of real combat that is fatal with every knife.

In this movie, Wu Yuchen is conducting anti-type, anti-tradition, breaking and then standing. Anti is to create new types and new traditions.

'Brotherhood of Blades' says goodbye to the world, walks into history, says goodbye to flying, walks toward realistic action, says goodbye to heroes, walks into the life of small people like ants, so it is worthy of the audience's expectations.

Being able to combine the creator's brand-new cognition, personal feelings, and martial arts culture so seamlessly, only 'Brotherhood of Blades' has done it!"

"A revolutionary work of new martial arts—'Brotherhood of Blades'!"

"Guo Jing once said: The great hero is for the country and the people. The heroes in Jin Yong's pen are all outstanding in martial arts, full of benevolence and righteousness, and true to their feelings. And 'Brotherhood of Blades' tells us: chivalry and feelings can also flash instantly on every humble small person!

Today, the author is fortunate to appreciate Wu Dao Yuchen's new martial arts work 'Brotherhood of Blades', a work with personality significance for new martial arts movies!

Wu Yuchen set a grand story background, but the lens is not aimed at traditional heroes, but at a few small people struggling hard. On the basis of reducing "chivalry" without deviating from "chivalry," adding more humanity, human heart, historical sense, and the struggle of small people and the promotion of the big environment, it is also closer to the modern people's state of mind, which shows the depth of Wu Dao's directing skills!

Shen Lian doesn't care about the country and the people, but he cares about the important people around him. He uses his own means and methods to protect, and the grievances are settled in the world.

Chivalry and feelings will no longer be the exclusive property of big heroes!

Where in life is there no world; talking about martial arts, talking about righteousness, talking about heroes, who is the hero?"

The publicity and promotion of 'Brotherhood of Blades' was already very large, and with Wu Yuchen's blessing, after this release, naturally, all kinds of rave reviews came surging in, walking into thousands of households.

To be honest, Wu Yuchen himself felt that some of these praises for 'Brotherhood of Blades' were excessive. Although he upgraded and adapted 'Brotherhood of Blades' to a certain extent, he knew very well that it might not necessarily be raised to the level of a classic.

But there is already a large amount of public opinion blowing it as if it were unique. This is not his original intention!

Wu Yuchen sighed. People are like this after reaching a certain position. In the future, he will still have to spend more tongue to explain a few sentences when accepting interviews.

However, this publicity has one advantage, and that is that the box office of 'Brotherhood of Blades' has undoubtedly exploded!

On the first day of release, according to the box office data estimates from various places summarized by China Film, the box office of 'Brotherhood of Blades' broke 20 million! ===== CHAPTER 267 =====
