There are so many Thunderbolt series. Where should I start?

Fellow Taoist, let me answer and give me points:)

The latest version of Pili is "Perak Apocalypse". It doesn't matter which series Pili comes from. All can be made into one chapter, but as a loyal Perak Taoist friend, my personal suggestion is that if you have enough time, you can start watching "Perak Golden Light", which is the first part of the Perak series. You can understand the entire Perak by reading it all the way. History; if you have to work or study and don’t have enough time to watch Pili, you can start with "Thunderbolt Nine Emperor Throne", and its follow-up "Thunderbolt Soldiers: Swords, Halberds and Demon Records" one or two are not to be missed; If time is tight, just start from the first episode of "Thunderbolt Apocalypse" and catch up on the previous ones if you have time.

The "Yunzhou Heroes Shi Yanwen" shown on TV that year was also one of the puppet shows, and it has a lot to do with "Thunderbolt". The following is the specific background (just read it as a story, don't be too verbose :P ):

==========This is a gorgeous divider============================ =========

Do you remember the idol Shi Yanwen from ancient times (a true idol)? In the 1950s of the Republic of China, Huang Junxiong was so popular that he couldn't stop playing the puppet show. He once even won the world championship with the Little League baseball team. He was regarded as the best male national hero by the conservative political situation at that time. Protagonist - Shi Yanwen. Maybe you would say that it was just born in the 1970s. Who knows Shi Yanwen's name? Then you should know that Su Huanzhen is right! He is the latest actor in the Golden Light Puppet Show on TV in the 1990s, and is also the mainstay of Pili Puppet Show. Speaking of Su Huanzhen, his famous name is also "Top Hong Kong, Xia Hong Kong, TV and Internet". He is simply more popular than the Four Heavenly Kings. , it has its own exclusive support club (love is really a morpheme)!

When talking about Huang Junxiong's TV puppet show, Shi Yanwen will immediately think of it, and when talking about Pili puppet show, we can't help but talk about Su Huanzhen. One is Shi Yanwen, a great Confucian scholar from Yunzhou who "shocked the martial arts world and shocked all religions", and the other is Qingxiang Bailian Su Huanzhen, who "masters half the world of civil and military affairs". What is the difference between Shi Yanwen and Su Huanzhen, the two generations of TV puppet show male protagonists? Since the Huang family's puppet show has always combined the current environment with the style inheritance of "advancing with the times", the protagonists of the puppets each represent and reflect different realities of time and space, and the character and script structure are often the epitome of a certain era. Through the comparison of the two generations of male protagonists, we can discover the differential changes in value. We can also use Shi Yanwen's reference to Su Huanzhen to deconstruct the heterogeneity of generational culture; we can also interpret the differences in the male protagonist Su Huanzhen. The unique characteristics and value system of the times are unique to Pili Puppetry.

The two brothers Huang Qianghua and Huang Wenze, who currently run Perak Satellite TV, are the sons of Huang Junxiong and the grandsons of Huang Haidai, one of the national treasures of puppetry. Mr. Huang Haidai, who is familiar with traditional puppetry, in the mid-1960s, in order to increase the visibility of puppetry, he improved Beiguan puppetry. In addition to preserving the humor and humor of Nanguan puppetry, he also adapted materials from Zhang Hui novels and novels. Folk stories, new scripts incorporating martial arts and legendary plots have become a lively "swordsman drama". Huang Haidai's swordsman drama inspired Li Tianlu and Xu Wang's traditional puppet show. Therefore, there was a fundamental difference. When Li Tianlu, Xu Wang and other old artists were still using traditional scripts, the swordsman drama became popular due to its popularity. ． Ye Tai opera gradually became the world of swordsman opera, and in order to respect Huang Haidai's "Wuzhou Garden", they often added "Wuzhou" to the troupe name. Therefore, from then on, puppet operas running in Ye Tai all over the province often Those who see the word "zhou" refer to the Beiguan martial arts swordsman style inherited from the Huang family. This has led to the situation where Huang Haidai's disciples are all over the world. This year, Huang Haidai, who is 96 years old, is even revered as the "Master of Wuzhou Garden Tongtian". ”. The Huang family's characteristic of "advancing with the times" also had its first wave of development here. At the same time, the province's puppet theater style began to become more heroic and moralistic swordsman style.

Although Huang Haidai attracted the audience's attention with his reformed swordsman drama, with the advancement of the times, various new entertainment media have gradually emerged, the most representative of which is television. Its entertainment function of sound and light has replaced the original functional role of traditional opera, which has caused the accelerated decline and even death of some traditional operas. In order to cope with this unprecedented battle for survival, Huang Junxiong, who inherited his father's business, once again reformed the puppet show, and this reform also sharply separated it from the traditional puppet show.

First of all, Huang Junxiong replaced the traditional saying of "three points in the front and seven points in the back" by replacing the traditional saying of "three points in the front and seven points in the back" with the traditional puppet show, which is the most important part of the backcourt (that is, the live soundtrack). On the other hand, Chinese music talents in the backstage have become increasingly scarce; at the same time, it also increases the modernity and listenability of music. In addition, Huang Junxiong also changed the puppets in the performance from the traditional 30 centimeters to 50 to 60 centimeters, with big heads and small bodies. Of course, the big heads and small hands were designed to match the close-up effect of television, which also made the puppets more popular. My body proportions are incorrect, this is where improvement has its pros and cons.

In addition, the traditional theater hall during performances has also been replaced by painted scenery, and video or dry ice effects are added from time to time. In this way, the reformed opera that reduced the traditional performing arts part and specialized in modern sound and light effects performances became what everyone later called "golden light opera". This is also the second wave of transition into the Huang family.

In 1969, Huang Junxiong's puppet show officially came to Taiwan TV. The "Yunzhou Confucian Hero" ran for three years before stepping down under policy pressure and bowing. However, a Shi Yunwen craze has already started. . Shi Yanwen, who comes from the forgotten royal family in the southeast, symbolizes the orthodox bloodline of the Central Plains. He leads the martial arts justice as a scholar and swordsman to resist the invasion of aliens from the northwest. Shi Yanwen, who is elegant and elegant, is Huang Qianghua (the chairman of Perak Satellite TV and the son of Huang Junxiong). ) is described as a kind-hearted but hesitant feminine character who will not fight back unless forced to the last moment. He often repeatedly reflects on the rationality of his actions. He is serious and heavy when it comes to fighting in the martial arts and the relationship between children. He has an incomparable appearance, he is a true-hearted guy, but he is also the character who is the best at escaping. And his charm comes from his character traits of being gentle, hesitant, and showing true feelings. Of course, the male protagonist is always superb in martial arts. The heroic spirit of being invincible once he takes action is the symbol of superman expected by the conservative and depressing social atmosphere at that time. At that time, watching Shi Yunwen in the afternoon and getting up in the middle of the night to watch Little League games broadcast on satellite was a major event in Taiwan. The Little League hero and Shi Yunwen gathered collective expectations and became a common memory in the 1970s.

After Shi Yanwen was stopped broadcasting in 1973, the TV puppet show was regarded by the policy as a social education program with inheritance and educational functions. According to regulations, various cruel scenes of puppets were not allowed and could only be promoted. It has a positive propaganda function. Although the Huang family had worked hard to perform, the three limited machines and recording time could not satisfy the Huang family. In the end, the Huang family's puppet show completely withdrew from the production and broadcast of the three programs and began to buy their own machines and shoot their own films. , recording, and started operating video tape distribution channels. Huang Wenze, who has gone through this period of time, said: "Taiwan's first ENG set was bought by Huang Junxiong at a cost of millions, so that he could concentrate on shooting bags without having to compete with others for studio time." The first set. The puppet show video "Thunderbolt City" was released in 1984. The initial target audience was the die-hard audience of Shi Yunwen's era, who were about 30 or 40 years old. It was not until Huang Qianghua took over the video tape business from his father that things turned around. , from "Thunder Eyes", "Thunderbolt Supreme" to "Thunderbolt Extraordinary" after taking over, the market has become increasingly younger, from the middle-class generation to college students and high school students, and even this group of young people has become the main sales force. It was only then that Huang Qianghua was profoundly reminded that the future of puppetry is not a dream. As long as it is combined with modern media technology and new performance types, a smooth path can be found, and there is no need to worry about having no spare time. Therefore, Huang Qianghua teamed up with his younger brother Huang Wenze and took charge. He wrote the script and Huang Wenze was responsible for the narration, and together they created Perak Satellite TV Station. From wild stations, television to satellite stations, the Huang family's characteristic of "advancing with the times" has entered the third wave of climax. From the video tape market to cable TV, Perak Puppetry has cultivated the audience's interest in puppetry through performances. It has also continuously improved more modern and new shooting techniques, spent huge sums of money to purchase hardware equipment, and even in Yunlin Huwei Establish your own production headquarters. It has a thousand-square-meter studio, recording studio, animation department, network department, screenwriting team, and general office area. The entire filming and production process of Pili Puppet Show can be completed here, from script conception, character personality, modeling and martial arts. From the establishment of moves, the writing of scripts to the exquisite shooting process of scene-by-scene storyboards, to the behind-the-scenes dubbing, the coordination of computer animation, and the arrangement of back-end music, everything is done consistently and without any false pretense.

In order to make the picture dynamic and imaginative, a studio invested in film-like equipment. A picture of a flying body may only pass by on the screen in one second, but it may take a working day to freeze the scene. In order to make the dubbing have In order to achieve a three-dimensional sense, a professional-quality recording studio was set up. Huang Wenze, who specializes in speaking and dubbing, still maintains the traditional habit of dubbing the voices of all the puppets by one person. For the soundtrack, he also established a "Cinderella Music Studio" to specialize in producing songs. with soundtrack. Recording during the day and dubbing at night, there were no worries about scheduling or running into scenes, and the actors had no emotional problems. The consistent standardized work process is the biggest difference between Pili and other puppet shows, and it is also different from the dining style and sleeping on the outdoor track.

Pili maintains the consistent improvement style of the Huang family's puppet show. In addition to having the hardware equipment and exquisite shooting techniques that he is proud of, what is most talked about is Pili's screenwriting skills. The macroscopic and huge script structure depicts an extremely realistic Jianghu ecology and martial arts grievances, and gives this surreal Jianghu martial arts an ideological and ethical structure. What is even more astonishing is the delicate presentation of characters, often becoming some kind of typical symbol. The main characters: Su Huanzhen, Ye Xiaochai, Yip Shu, Qin Jiaxian, Ghost King Coffin, Jin Xiaokai, etc. all have very distinctive characteristics and truthfully reflect the aspirations of the ethnic groups they represent, such as The swordsman Ye Xiaochai is a sad and angry swordsman with both character and fate. Although he has the same martial arts and character as the male protagonist, he can't escape the tricks of fate due to his personality. He once "lost his life" in the movie, which actually caused the female doll fans to be angry. He resisted fiercely and wrote a letter written in blood every day asking the screenwriter to resurrect Ye Xiaochai. It was not until the third day that Huang Wenze couldn't stand it anymore and followed the clues to find this strange woman, only to realize that at such a young age, she was also suffering a lot, with her relatives passing away and no one to support her. He had no choice but to place his hope on Ye Xiaochai.

"Hidden tricks are hidden in the machine, and changes come from outside" is a famous saying often cited in Pili puppetry articles to describe the ever-changing martial arts world. This sentence is also the best way to describe the values ????of Pili puppetry. This feature can be clearly noticed from the main character Huan Zhen. Femininity, agility, and strategy that were not seen in Shi Yanwen in the past appear from time to time. At the same time, the quality of characters is not an absolute dichotomy. Just like the black and white man who is regarded as a cult, he is actually affectionate and righteous; while Ouyang Shangzhi of the Confucian system is a cunning conspirator with evil intentions; and the big villain of Taoist origin The character Qingyangzi not only has the intellect on par with Su Huanzhen, but is also a model of a handsome hero... Such factions of characters who have no right or wrong, there are various kinds of factions in the worlds of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Xuanming Demon. Characters, they each have their own human strengths and weaknesses. It depends on how they gain a foothold in the dangerous world, what kind of martial arts they use, and how they gain legitimacy and legitimacy in the war of consciousness and belief. They are all thunderbolt dramas that make people's eyes riveted and excited, and are highly recognized by modern people.

The most important reason why the plot and characters of Pili Bag Drama aroused enthusiastic response is that the plot structure faithfully reflects the authenticity of contemporary time and space. It cannot be more realistic, and of course this complex and changeable world is It needs a political leader like Pixel Huanzhen to unify it, which cannot be controlled by Shi Yanwen's weak and melancholy temperament. Although it is a pity that Su Huan lacks the sincerity and romance like Shi Yanwen, but it is helpless as Huang Qianghua said: "This is reality!".
