[Edit this paragraph] Plot introduction

Anyone who messes with my brother will be killed on the basis of his name! Brothers who mess with my brothers will be killed as a matter of fact!

The Taiping soldiers with disheveled hair were holding spears and massacring the defeated Qing army. Instead of "stabbing horses", they said "voucher of name" here. It depicts a Shura field of brutal fighting.

A purely large-scale war scene was an offensive and defensive battle in the wilderness when the Shanzi Camp was first built. Eight hundred people fought against five thousand people. As the spoiler said, two hundred death squads and two hundred archers fought on three sides. The Baiyang Gun Team had previously exchanged their flesh and blood for the fatal hundred-step range difference. The battle must have been tragic. But what really shocked the eyes was when Jet Li led his soldiers into the Taiping Army Artillery Team. Jet Li fought one against a hundred, and his remaining limbs were broken off. The arm, as well as the shocking shots of artillery fire shattering human bodies at close range, must be the hell in the mind of Qing general Pang Qingyun.

The massacre of the Taiping soldiers who surrendered in Suzhou City reminds me of the scene in "The City of Golden Armor" in which the Silver Saints massacred the Gold Saints, but it is different from the massacre in "Golden Armor". However, Chen Kexin did not directly show the dying struggles of the thousands of prisoners surrounded by the Acropolis, but through their dying cries, the painful expressions on the faces of the third brother Jiang Wuyang who gave the order and the Qing soldiers who shot arrows, and the tortured Qing soldiers who were raped. The struggle of the second brother Zhao Erhu, who was locked in the yard, was used to express this tragedy. Many in the audience straightened up and stared in stunned silence. They did not dare to take a breath. Only after everything was over did Chen Kexin give the camera to The scene of corpses filling the Acropolis, followed by the Qing army adding the corpses of prisoners to the trenches, brings a shock that cannot be matched by the childish splendor of "The Golden Armor". The editing of Takeshi Kaneshiro's Nightmare was purely a successful "horror" editing. Most of the audience was frightened, and the entire audience held their breath.

I have to mention the music and sound effects of the whole drama. In terms of music, I saw the name of Jin Peida. There is a kind of sadness in the plot music of the whole drama, which contrasts with the iron-blooded plot and sets off the A kind of sadness in troubled times. In terms of sound effects, the sounds of human bones breaking in war, swords piercing flesh, gunshots, and fighting sounds are quite shocking. The sound effects accompanying the plot are also quite exciting. Some female viewers were shocked just because of the prominence of the plot sound effects.

In terms of characters, the three superstars and Xu Jinglei did not disappoint. Jet Li fully demonstrated the role of a hero whose desires and talents are intricately intertwined. At the end when all the soldiers in the camp were slaughtered, he pretended to be dead. After Pang Qingyun came down, he was lost and walking aimlessly, and met Liansheng (Xu Jinglei) who had run away. There was no passionate scene here. Chen Kexin used more dreamy virtual and real shots coupled with Takeshi Kaneshiro's recall-like narration to explain the plot. It covers up the legendary shortage of Jet Li in passionate scenes. Pang Qingyun really loved Liansheng, so after Zhao Erhu went to assassinate the Suzhou garrison, he said to Liansheng, "If he doesn't come back, I will marry you." Such words would not help his future. After Zhao Erhu assassinated the Suzhou garrison and returned safely, the soldiers cheered Zhao Erhu's name. The complicated expression on Jet Li's face reflected his disappointment and worry. He was disappointed because of Liansheng and worried about Zhao Erhu's increasing prestige. If Pang Qingyun is downright bad, Jet Li would be easier to play. But he still cares about brotherhood, so after arranging to kill Zhao Erhu, he would talk to himself in front of empty bowls and chopsticks, hide his face and cry, and After learning that Jiang Wuyang had killed Liansheng, he burst into tears. These are not found in Jet Li's previous film and television works.

Andy Lau's innate righteousness made him very familiar with the role of Zhao Erhu, from his straight temper who would lose his voice due to emotion in front of his boss, to his sympathy with the Suzhou guard, to watching the prisoners after they were massacred. The pain and despair of corpses everywhere, and the subsequent change in perception, but after the change, he still rushed into the trap without hesitation to save Pang Qingyun. Andy Lau's performance cannot be said to be perfect or transcendent, but he performed the role of Zhao Erhu conscientiously.

Takeshi Kaneshiro is slightly eclipsed by the light of the two superstars. I am afraid it has something to do with the simplicity of his role. The best scenes of his performance are all about his admiration for Pang Qingyun and his own conscience. In the conflict of torture, the third brother Jiang Wuyang completely admired Pang Qingyun after Pang Qingyun rescued him in the battle of grain robbery and witnessed his ability to directly take the lives of enemy generals. This affected all his subsequent actions. Behaviors, including roaring and crying after beheading the enemy commander in the first battle, including resolutely beheading the offending brother for Pang Qingyun, including trembling and tears when personally directing the massacre of prisoners, when this conflict reached its climax At that time, he naively believed that killing his second sister-in-law would prevent Pang Qingyun from killing Zhao Erhu, and he took action without hesitation. The moment he saw Zhao Erhu's body, all his beliefs collapsed.

Liansheng, a woman who was dissatisfied with her desires, wanted protection, love, and even glory, so she ran away several times. After capturing Nanjing, she hesitated at Zhao Erhu's suggestion to return home. , but she is kind, so she can firmly say "he (Zhao Erhu) is a good person", and will cry bitterly after Zhao Erhu entered the city to assassinate and failed to send out the signal in time. Her love belongs to Pang Qingyun, but her fate involves Zhao Erhu. She is also greedy for life and afraid of death, so she will be incoherent before her death. Xu Jinglei showed all this well.

"The War Movie" is more of a tragedy than a war movie. It tears apart human nature, destroys dreams, and makes people despair to the point of utter despair.

Liansheng is a tragedy, from the time she was sold to following Erhu, a man she did not love, into the mountains as a bandit, to meeting Pang Qingyun, a love that could not bring her a stable life, to the end Unjustly dying at the hands of stupid green Jiang Wuyang, Liansheng has been passively accepting her fate, but the only thing she took the initiative to accept eventually brought her the ending of falling into hell.

Zhao Erhu is a tragedy. He was upright and chivalrous all his life, but he watched the food he had worked so hard to grab be taken away by the Qing army, and watched his brothers die one after another in front of the musket array, but he wanted to According to Pang Qingyun's order, he stood still and was helpless in the face of the death of thousands of prisoners of war whom he promised the enemy would save their lives. Until he finally saw through the war, he failed to see through Pang Qingyun. Before his death, he was still thinking about Pang Qingyun's safety. However, Zhao Erhu's dream of brotherhood was not shattered. He died shouting "big brother". In his heart, the three of them were still the brothers they were when they were sworn brothers.

Jiang Wuyang is a tragedy. His tragedy is that in his life, the only creed is the 28-word oath Ziling mentioned at the beginning of the article, but those oaths were shattered one by one, and he committed suicide. Enemies, killing subordinates, killing prisoners, killing second sister-in-law and finally assassinating Pang Qingyun are all 28 words. If outsiders mess with my brothers, they will be killed as a matter of name; if brothers mess with my brothers, they will be killed as a matter of name. Of. Jiang Wuyang is a person without self.

Pang Qingyun has risen through the ranks. Chen Kexin gave him the character of doing whatever it takes to gain fame, and gave him a corresponding name. He is still humane, can be grateful and fall in love with Liansheng, and can fight in battle. Zhong fought desperately to save his brothers, and was reluctant to kill Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang several times, but in the end he was reluctant to do so, just for his ambitious dream. It's just that he was too naive, or was carried away by his dreams. He was like a child with special skills but no knowledge of the world, so weak and powerless in front of the Queen Mother and the ministers who were good at manipulating power. At the moment when Pang Qingyun almost gave up everything, and was about to give up even the last Jiang Wuyang, he was sent to the bottom of the valley by bullets from high altitude. As he was dying, he understood everything, but he didn't want to believe it, "Quickly, vote for me." He told Jiang Wuyang that Jiang Wuyang looked at the gunshot wound and understood in an instant that his last stab sent Pang Qingyun back to his dream. He shouted: "The one who stabbed Pang Qingyun! It's Jiang Wuyang!" - His eldest brother There was no failure, but before success, he was stabbed to death by his brother.

[Edit this paragraph] Character introduction

The eldest brother - Jet Li's atypical performance: he began to try fringe roles and was also cast as a famous actor outside the movie

The eldest brother Pang played by Jet Li Qingyun is a person who attaches great importance to national interests. He hopes to end the war by himself, but later he has political differences with Zhao Erhu and kills him. Later, he was killed by his third brother Jiang Wuyang who came to seek revenge.

The second brother - Andy Lau, atypical performance: never so simple-minded, the origin of being deceived is greed

Zhao Erhu can be said to be a relatively simple-minded person. When Andy Lau analyzed this character to reporters, he said: "Actually, I didn't know that they lied to me. I just thought that Jet Li betrayed our friendship for the sake of the country and his ideals. It's just that his and I have different ideas. This character is completely different. A smart, very loyal person. He never doubted anything. From the beginning of the movie until his death, he didn’t know what was going on. He was a relatively simple character. Brothers in adversity and love, but Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro didn't have many scenes to play opposite each other. Andy felt that at first the second brother always thought that Jiang Wuyang needed to take care of his younger brother, so the scenes with him were not that intense. There is only one scene where Erhu discovers that his younger brother's philosophy is completely different from his own. In fact, when he is the same as his eldest brother, there will be a more profound collision, and there are not many others.

Third brother - Takeshi Kaneshiro's atypical performance: Brothers are born from their parents, regardless of popularity issues

Takeshi Kaneshiro does not think his role is simple. He feels that the third brother will face difficulties later. The choice was the most complicated. The second brother had no choice but to follow his own ideals. The same goes for big brother. But he fell into an embarrassing situation when he faced the certificate of surrender and the feelings of brothers. This is also the most difficult thing for him to grasp.

Liansheng - Xu Jinglei’s chemical effect of a touch of bright red among the green bushes is hard to ignore

Although Xu Jinglei’s role in this drama cannot be compared with that of the other three, he also plays a role played a very important role. As the director said: "The importance of Xu Jinglei's role lies in the chemistry. Without this woman, many things cannot be explained clearly, so it is a very important role. But is she a tool to express war and human nature? You can say that. I am interested in Every character has a responsibility. He is a modern woman and a tragic figure. But we have not seen the modern demands placed on ancient women. In fact, they have to endure it. There are many stories. What we see now is because it is not written in ancient books. It can be seen how important this role is in the balance between characters.

[Edit this paragraph] Behind-the-scenes footage

Peter Chan re-interprets "Horse"

The prototype of "Horse" is one of the four most mysterious cases in the late Qing Dynasty. Tied with "Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai". Because it involves many dramatic elements such as beauty, loyalty, and betrayal, it was adapted into Peking Opera and movies. The most famous film is the version made by director Chang Cheh for Shaw Brothers more than 30 years ago.

Zhang Wenxiang and Huang Zong are both from the grassland. They have never known each other and become brothers of the opposite sex. Milan, the wife of Huang Zong, the second oldest brother, admires her eldest brother Ma Xinyi, but Ma Xinyi has established a strong emotional defense line and has not been broken by Milan's love. When Ma Xinyi was appointed governor of Liangjiang, Milan fell in love with Ma Xinyi even more. However, Ma Xinyi used any means to achieve his goals, and his moral and emotional defenses completely collapsed. He finally took possession of Milan and killed his brother Huang Zong. Zhang Wenxiang, the third child, was filled with indignation when he heard about this incident. He assassinated Ma Xinyi and confessed in the court of the Ministry of Punishment.

Veteran director Chang Cheh's classic "Horse" starred David Chiang, Chen Kuantai, Ti Lung and Jing Li. The whole story revolves around three men who turned against each other for a woman, which is bloody and fierce. Chang Cheh's films back then were very colorful. Not only did the film sweep the 11th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, it was also regarded as a model for the collaboration between director Chang Cheh and action director Liu Jialiang.

After many years, Peter Chan's "Horse" is back on the screen. The three male leads in the film will be replaced by Jet Li, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Andy Lau. Jet Li plays Ma Xinyi, who turns from good to evil, Andy Lau plays Huang Zong, whose wife was kidnapped and murdered, and Takeshi Kaneshiro plays Zhang Wenxiang, who finally completes the "horse assassination".

The background of this film is the Qing Dynasty, and all the male actors in the film had to shave their heads. This time "Horse" will take a realistic route. Except for the three leading actors, the other actors "must be very masculine and must not be handsome", and they will also "eat and sleep outdoors" during the filming. Takeshi Kaneshiro changed his previous handsome and unrestrained image and appeared in an unshaven look.

Spurs was renamed "The War"

The epic war film "Spurs" cost 40 million US dollars and brought together three major Chinese male stars Jet Li, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro and actress Xu Jinglei. ”, it was confirmed that the name would be officially changed to “Certificate of Voting”. This film has attracted media attention since it started filming at the end of last year. Although director Peter Chan has said that the story filmed this time has new content and perspectives, media from all walks of life have always pointed out that this film is a remake of the old version of Shaw Brothers' "Horse". In order to avoid Due to confusion, the director decided to officially change the name to "The Name of the Voucher".

Faced with the misconception from the outside world that "The Legend" is a remake of Shaw Brothers' "Horse", director Peter Chan said that in history books, novels, legends or dramas, creators are free to draw materials and interpret them, and there is no "reproduction". Especially since the filming started, the director and screenwriter team have further enriched the plot of the film, making "The Legend" a completely different work. The most important thing is of course the profound description of the entangled brotherhood in the play. Just as director Peter Chan said he wanted to make an epic war film comparable to "A Better Tomorrow", the sworn sworn relationship of the three protagonists has become the most important key to the entire film. Blood made a "letter of surrender": "We can't live together, but we are willing to die together" and embarked on the road of no return; the "letter of surrender" was a proof of loyalty in ancient times, which meant that before joining an organization, you should behave in a way approved by the organization. To express loyalty, it is said that "all heroes who want to join a gang must submit a certificate of surrender." In today's case, it means applying. This form is an allusion to the plot of "Water Margin" in which Lin Chong defected to Liangshan. This statement was also quoted in many novels later. Therefore, the "voting certificate", which is the key to the tragedy of the characters in the play, can be said to be the best choice for the title.

The filming of "Tou Mingzhuang" was very stressful

"Tou Mingzhuang" is the first costume blockbuster directed by Peter Chan. However, the first month of filming was not smooth. It was originally planned to be completed in 7 days. It actually took 20 days from the first scene to the actual shooting. Chen Kexin admitted that he was under a lot of pressure both in the investment and the creative process: "Mainly because I underestimated the weather and action design. This time the action design was completely a The process of exploration is not to create any new movements, but I am completely pursuing a "real" and "powerful" feeling in the movements. There is no wire as usual in costume films, and I don't make any fuss about the camera. But this makes other people very insecure, and they always say that I have destroyed the only advantage of Chinese martial arts films." In addition, because there are many big scenes in the film, Chen Kexin said that communication is also extremely complicated. However, he has not changed the way he has worked for many years because of this: "When filming, I always cannot do what I want to do, but unexpectedly I do it. Although this is the film with the largest investment for me, I will still give the filming location There is a lot of creative space. With so many excellent people together, I have to accommodate everyone's emotions and expressions. Even if I know that it will not be used in the film, I will not interrupt the other person at the time, because you Maybe I can capture the moment you want, and what I have to do in the end is to summarize everyone’s expressions into my own track.”

Jet Li knows the character better than the director

There is a scene where Pang Qingyun besieged Suzhou. After a year of siege, he was short of food and guns, so he could only go to the third prince who had food and grass, but he was always afraid that he would surpass his master, but the third prince did not see Pang at all. Qingyun, in despair, Pang Qingyun decided to seek help from General He Kui, his long-standing rival, at the expense of giving up the lead in attacking Nanjing.

Jet Li told Chen Kexin that he felt that Pang would not go to San Gong, and he would go directly to He Kui from the beginning. "Jet Li actually knows better how to survive in this embattled environment." Chen Kexin said that only then did he understand that people's life when they are young will really affect their judgment. Jet Li understands Pang Qingyun better than himself. In the end, Chen Kexin still hoped that Pang Qingyun at that stage would not have such a deep understanding of life, hoped that he would gain the sympathy of the audience, and retained this scene. But he also realized that "Jet Li's understanding of the role of Pang Qingyun is different from mine, or it may not be deeper."

"The Famous Film" violated Takeshi Kaneshiro's three taboos

Because "Tou Ming Zhuan" violated Takeshi Kaneshiro's three taboos in not accepting roles.

First, don’t do scenes where you have sex with other male protagonists; second, don’t do scenes in period costumes; third, don’t do scenes that are filmed in too hard places. Especially the first one, Chen Kexin, who knows Takeshi Kaneshiro very well, leaked the interpretation: "First of all, Takeshi Kaneshiro is a person who lives in peace with the world. In fact, this world does not really live in peace with the world, but only appears to live in peace with it. How can an actor do that? No fight? So when there are more male leads and everyone is competing, he will definitely suffer." Takeshi Kaneshiro thought hard for two months about whether to accept the role of Jiang Wuyang, but Chen Kexin thought that he would not play the role and was going to find someone else. However, he received a call from Takeshi Kaneshiro late at night: "I still act, I believe in you!" Takeshi Kaneshiro said that the reason he finally convinced himself to take this role was, "I trust Peter Chan, and I will show him the side of me that I am not confident about."< /p>

Peter Chan: The brotherhood I see is all based on the needs of interests

The outside world has always described "The War Movie" as a "war film about brotherhood", but In fact, director Peter Chan "never had any brotherhood" since he was a child. Even if you ask him about his friends, he can only point to Sandra Ng sitting not far away, "If I didn't have her, I would have no friends." Then, Looking at you from behind his glasses sincerely and apologetically.

Kexin Chan has had no brothers since he was a child, only one sister, and he has the best relationship with his father. In school, because of my small stature, I didn’t play ball and didn’t even make any golfing friends. Instead, I liked making friends with girls. I have never had a fight since I was a child, and I have never been with friends. The most exciting time was watching other boys fight in a group. "It was like watching those gangster movies, I was suddenly very excited and nervous, all those blood, bricks,... It’s like a Young and Dangerous movie.” Peter Chan’s first job as an adult was a summer job at Golden Harvest. In 1986, John Woo was filming a shootout movie “Heroes Without Tears” set in Thailand, and hired someone who knew Thai. Chen Kexin helped me and started working in the industry. He became a director at the age of 29 and filmed "A Tale of Two Cities". During the parting scene between Maggie Cheung and Alan Tam, he and the staff present shed tears. From then on, all he filmed were love scenes until "The Call to Action".

He frowned and said: "I don't know what brotherhood is. Sometimes when I'm drinking in a bar, someone will pat me on the shoulder and say, 'We are all good friends and good brothers.' Every time I I get goosebumps when I hear these words, and I think it’s better not to romanticize your emotions through alcohol. What I see is all based on interests. Is there really such a good brotherhood?

Therefore, in "The Letter of Voting", brotherhood was eventually replaced by conspiracy theories. The classic scene in Hong Kong movies of pointing a gun to the head and asking "Are you a brother?" did not appear. Instead, it was the clever words and tricks that Pang Qingyun deceived Zhao Erhu into leaving behind when he was in danger, and the eyes that hid in the darkroom and hinted at killing after he was done. Chen Kexin feels that this is like in modern society, "When the CEO of the eldest brother succeeds in business, he fires the younger brother who used to be a pioneer."

The action of "The Investment Certificate"

" On the first day of filming for "The Proposal", we were filming the scene of the first-line disaster of military supplies. The original plan was to shoot for 7 days, but as a result, it took a month. Halfway through, Peter Chan felt that it was "done". The first scene was so delayed that there was no need to shoot the rest of it. When frustrated, I would even deny myself to the point of wanting to quit and ask the investors to change the director.

The reason is that Peter Chan has never filmed a fight scene, let alone a war scene that often involves thousands of extras. He invited one of the three best action coaches in China - Cheng Xiaodong. Cheng Xiaodong, nicknamed "King of Weiye", is best at using multiple Weiye in combination to make actors fly in the sky. The action style is elegant and smart, filling the sky with Peter Pan. The "New Dragon Inn", "Hero", "Golden Armor (blog)" and "Shaolin Football" you have seen are all written by him. But what Chen Kexin asked for this time was authenticity, so, "Don't use any power, don't design a fancy move, everything must be 'real'." Takeshi Kaneshiro (listening to the song) said, Chen Kexin put aside these The words left. Cheng Xiaodong was left racking his brains and almost collapsed.

The tragic situation of "laymen guiding experts" finally emerged. Cheng Xiaodong understood what Chen Kexin meant, but the entire Cheng family team had to change from "air force" to "army" immediately. I don't know how many process details had to be revealed. Subversion, communication with each other, there are many problems, and inertia is difficult to change. It wasn't until ten days later that a "translator" came - Jet Li (blog).

"As a director who doesn't know how to make martial arts movies, I have to pursue realism. They can't understand what I'm saying. It's very difficult for Cheng Xiaodong and his team. Jet Li understands action, understands actors, and is familiar with Director, he became a bridge of communication and clearly translated what I wanted." Even Cheng Xiaodong said: "He is the only actor who really understands martial arts. It is much easier for me to communicate with him," Jet Li revealed. His "translation" process is actually full of "violence", "Xiaodong and I have been friends for more than 20 years. I can close the door with him and bang the table and bench, but you can't do that! You listen to me!" In Jet Li's view, the communication barrier between Cheng Xiaodong and Chen Kexin is just "two foreigners who don't understand the language. One is used to making pizza, and the other insists on eating dumplings. With a translator, they can understand immediately."

After "A Thin Line of Sky", filming the Battle of Shucheng again, and Chen Kexin had another "Yao Mozi". "I hope that the shot is in the crowd. I hope that people at the back can see these weapons coming out from the backs of the guys in the front. I also want a lot of facial details to make the audience feel like they are on the battlefield when watching the show." Cheng Xiaodong told us that this is what Chen Kexin asked for his portrayal. Cheng Xiaodong's personal hobby is to set the camera aside to shoot big scenes. Chen Kexin stopped to discuss with Cheng Xiaodong again, "I only know that I didn't want him to shoot like this, but he looked at me and asked me what I wanted, but I couldn't tell." The final result of the coordination was that Chen Kexin concentrated on filming what he wanted to pay attention to. The details of the soldiers, the bloody faces, the ferocious expressions with red eyes, and the big scenes of fighting and iron horses were all handled by Cheng Xiaodong.

The Battle of Shucheng was filmed for more than 20 days and was cut into 12 minutes in the movie, making it the most beautiful battle in the entire film.

Photography of "The Film"

Wong Yuet-tai, who has won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography six times, is a veritable big name in the Hong Kong film industry. He said that Chen Kexin is particularly good at "squeezing" people. Smart director. The first is the way to shoot big scenes. Huang Yuetai used the word "the most in 30 years of filmmaking" to describe the number of actors. "To shoot a big scene with thousands of people, we use 8 cameras to shoot at the same time. If there are 3 cameras, it means 24 camera positions. When filming a drama, we have to activate three or four cameras at the same time. This is really flattering for us as a photographer and exceeds our expectations." The filming method made Huang Yuetai burst out with sparks, "The reaction of seizing the moment will be much more natural, and the actor's natural expression will be retained."

The Suzhou trench night scene is the largest night scene that Huang Yuetai has ever filmed. . The night scene range of two to three kilometers is to express the mood of the soldiers after holding on to the trenches for nine months. "This side of the city wall is dark, but the other side is decorated with lights. Chen Kexin requested that the trench side be dark without any auxiliary light source." This poses a problem for photography - the scope is so large, and it is not in a studio How can I do it if I shoot inside without any light? In the end, Huang Yuetai said that he was forced to come up with a method of "drilling wood to make fire", and completed the filming with the help of a lot of fluorescent lights hitting the city wall and reflecting them back to people's faces. "The horror is very strong. This scene gave me a sense of accomplishment." ."

Chen Kexin insisted on the tone and color of the movie as "unprecedented". Huang Yuetai has been in movies for 30 years and has made all kinds of costume films, but he has never made "an unprecedented costume film." I can only use all my skills, red, blue, green and various lights, adjust it over and over again, keep being denied, and keep trying again. Until finally, come out – bronzed. Chen Kexin was satisfied. "We chose a bronze tone, pauper bandit man! The costumes and scenery are all unified on this point. Only the color of the skin and red are highlighted. Red symbolizes desire and blood in this play, and they buy desire with blood. "The whole play has been in a cold tone. It wasn't until the three of them got promoted and made a fortune and moved to the south that bright colors began to emerge, and the scenery, costumes, and lighting also had an additional color treatment. "It used to be a day and night play. There was only silver-white moonlight at night, and there was no blue at all." Huang Yuetai recalled it like a treasure.

Highlights:

·The title of the film "Tou Ming Zhuan" comes from the plot of Lin Chong entering Liangshan in "Water Margin". Before joining a gang, one must kill someone and use their head as a pledge of surrender.

·The film used 15 assistant directors and 6 cameras. The largest war scene lasted for 20 minutes. Even two people falling in love had 300 people in the background.

·What impressed Jet Li most was the "death scene", "As usual, I received a 100-yuan red envelope. Because I was going to lie in a coffin, I received an extra 5-yuan red envelope. I Donate this 105 yuan to the One Foundation."

· Jet Li has the most scenes in the film. Peter Chan said: "It seems that Jet Li has never filmed an impressive love scene except Thirteenth Aunt, but this one. Takeshi Kaneshiro was the one who did more and was more ruthless. He found a boy who was so beautiful, but he was so ruthless that you wouldn’t believe it. Jet Li was the one with the most drama.”

Chen Kexin did consider finding a boy. Shu Qi played the heroine, but the role required someone who didn't look very eye-catching at first glance and wasn't sexy. Although Shu Qi was good in the role, she was dismissed because she was too sexy.
