Is Zhang Yimou from the Qin Dynasty?

This article was written at the time of the release of Zhang Yimou's film Hero, and then the booklet "The Change of the World in the Book Case" was published. It's still interesting to sort out the copy now, so I'll share it with fans.

How many articles criticized Hero after it was released in 2002? Long article? , success? Avalanches Fashion. The author even once suspected that heroes cherish heroes? Has this word been deleted from the concept? At the same time, I feel that many critics are fierce, but they are not as picky as director Zhang Da. I don't understand Zhang Yimou's real intention in making this film.

So, in my opinion, most of these critical articles are limited by the level of knowledge, just like Qin Bing's archery in Hero, only upward? Pengtou? , but no? Fire? . So, I want to talk about my impression of this film.

Here, please think about it: in just a few years (1996-2002), the mainland made three films with the theme of assassinating Qin Huang: First, Qin Song directed by Zhou Xiaowen: Gao Jianli (played by Ge You) poured molten lead into a musical instrument and killed Qin Huang.

This week, when the director commented to historians that many of his films were contrary to historical facts, he said with great personality: Is this film going to be made? Piss off historians? ! Then there is Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Stabbed the Emperor of Qin": in the film, Jing Ke (played by ZhangFeng yi) colluded with the director, regardless of whether Jing Ke was recorded in Historical Records. Not good at fencing? People, and it is difficult to interpret it as superman of fencing and martial arts?

There are two films that stab Qin Huang. As a hero, Zhang Yimou naturally has his own unique views on history. So what's the difference between Zhang Yimou's film Hero and the first two films? The author thinks that there are two obvious differences in appearance: one is to abandon historical documentary and fabricate new virtual stories; And second? Set things right? Let Chen, who is quiet in appearance, play and change the traditional tyrant image.

Although the film Hero is a new story made up by modern people, it has not lost its connection with historical records: for example, Wu Ming (played by Jet Li) alienated the chivalrous man with the love and hate between men and women, just like the relationship between the six countries and Qin in the lobbyist's mouth? The art of combining? ; Unknown and the sword of the three chivalrous men? If you kill it, you can earn money to enter the palace and take ten steps to Qin Huang? ; Fan, the first general who was dedicated by Jing Ke to Qin, seemed to have the same impression all his life near Qin Shihuang.

In the history books, Sima Qian left only Gao Jianli and Jing Ke's real name, who wanted to kill Qin Huang's assassin, so that they could stay in the history books from generation to generation. In Zhou Xiaowen's film Qin Song and Chen Kaige's film Jing Ke Sting, they both stabbed Qin for different reasons. Qin Huang in the film also has his own reasons for assassination. Especially, Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Sting" (played by Li) is an extremely despicable, narrow-minded and neurotic villain, who is simply abnormal and morbid. Damn it.

However, this is not history. For example, Qin Shihuang is such a figure. Even if the six countries strive for hegemony, they cannot be unified. Therefore, Jia Yi, a scholar in the Han Dynasty, once concluded in his famous On Qin: Why did Qin Shihuang? After the sixth generation, he continued to be fierce, formulated a long-term strategy to conquer space, swallowed princes and died two weeks later, respected Liuhe, and whipped the world with shackles, which had a great influence all over the world. ; What is the reason for Qin Ershi? One person is in trouble, seven temples fall down, his body dies, and he laughs at the world. Why? Benevolence and righteousness are not applied, and the offensive and defensive trends are different? .

Visible, in history, a considerable number of people of insight think that Qin Huang is a matter of opinion. The so-called in Jia? Shi Renyi? And Zhang Yimou made many dissenting Confucian star in Hero? Know peace? Do you accept? I think this sculpture is negotiable. But when it was shown in the cinema, (played by Chen) in the movie Hero said? Peace? But it caused a burst of laughter in the cinema.

However, this just shows the profound prejudice against Qin Huang in the world today. This just shows that Zhang Yimou launched Hero at this time to meet the needs of the world. At least, Zhang Yimou thinks: use Qin Huang from Hero to poke Qin Huang from Qin Song and Jing Ke to stab Qin Huang? Chaos? It is feasible. Because, Qin Huang's benevolence, is it really impossible? A joke of history? !

So, what is the driving force behind Zhang Yimou's film Hero? The author thinks that the biggest motivation among many reasons is that Zhang Yimou is a native of Qin. For example, in the movie Hero, Wu Ming said: I am Zhao's. If Qin wants to destroy Zhao (China), I want to stab Qin? . With this logic, we can easily understand Zhang Yimou: he pays special attention to others? Stab Qin? .

Zhang Yimou, a native of Qin, can't make irresponsible remarks. The author has two bases: one is the hometown of Zhang Yimou and Daqin, right? Born and raised? Therefore, most of Zhang Yimou's films pay attention to the anecdotes of people's livelihood in the homeland of pre-Qin. Second, the basis is stronger, that is, Zhang himself starred in the film "The Battle of the Ancient and Modern Warriors" and personally awarded the guardian of the Qin Mausoleum? Qin figurines? Where is Meng? Although I remember him playing the first hero in Wu's film Old Well, he won the performance award. However, Zhang Yimou's most vivid performance was as the guardian of the Qin Mausoleum. Terracotta warriors and horses are really the same!

As readers know, Zhang Yimou often said that you can't repeat yourself when making a movie, and your artistic creation should be different every time. Therefore, with "The Warfare of Qin Figurines in Ancient and Modern Times", it is not difficult for us to imagine that Zhang Yimou, wearing armor and holding a sword, lined up in the Qin army in "Hero".

Besides, our grandson, China's great strategist, has long been in the art of war? Go to the army to cut the plan? The best way to fight is to use wisdom, not to fight each other. Then, what if you use articles to criticize movies and various creative works positively? Stab Qin? Phenomenon, it is not a coup, and it is obviously anti-ancestor? Go to the army to cut the plan? Training rules. So Zhang Yimou abandoned it? Wu? From where? Words? , go to the movies? Art? Sharps and Superman? Strategy? Focus on countering today's literature and art in your works? Stab Qin? , to close the door? Soldiers? Strategy.

After you have an ideal goal, you must have successful methods and skills! This has always been a master in Zhang Yimou, and the filming of Hero has not slackened. But the outstanding talents of directors and photographers dwarf the protagonists. So in the charm of the wonderful picture of Hero, who is Zhang Yimou's behind-the-scenes pusher? Hero? So obviously developed?

The picture shows 1989 shooting the film "Love between Ancient and Modern Warfare of Qin Fighters", in which Zhang Yimou plays Meng, the guard officer of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. I believe that Zhang Yimou really threw himself into the role in the performance of this film!
