On the 30th anniversary of the release of "New Dragon Inn", why has it become a classic of Chinese martial arts films?

On the 30th anniversary of the release of "New Dragon Inn", it is still a classic, which is inseparable from many elements in the movie. Jianghu chivalry, happy grudges, yellow sand in the sky, children of Jianghu, northwest folk customs?

In 1992, "New Dragon Gate Inn" was released. The director was Li Huimin, the producer was Tsui Hark, and the actors included Liang Jiahui, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Donnie Yen and others. These stars are all big names who are famous all over the world, but during the filming, no one complained about suffering, let alone the airs of celebrities. Only the continuous efforts of the actors and behind-the-scenes staff made this classic work possible.

The movie was shot on location, not cut out from green cloth. The real-life shooting makes people feel immersed in the scene, as if they are a member of the world, riding in the desert with Zhou Huaian, Jin Xiangyu, Qiu Moyan and others. The filming location was in the desert of Gansu, and the conditions were relatively harsh. When the strong wind came, the actors and photographers had no place to hide from the wind and sand. They could only stand back to back to block the dust from the sky.

Not only that, due to the strong wind and sand, some sand had fallen and fell into the hair and nostrils. When I returned to the hotel to take a shower, I couldn't wash it off. Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Donnie Yen and others, with at most one assistant, acted very low-key, and were all working hard on this "New Dragon Inn".

Even during the filming, actress Brigitte Lin was injured. A piece of bamboo hurt her eye, resulting in a ruptured eye mask. In order to make the filming progress of the film, she endured great pain to complete the filming. The eyes are the windows to the soul. When this window is injured, even a lively person can become miserable. Finally, Brigitte Lin returned to Hong Kong for treatment. As for the unfinished filming, it was completed by a stand-in.

The supporting characters in the film are outstanding, especially the waiter. His skill as a cook and a sheep is truly at its peak, and no one can match it. His sword skills are unpredictable, and the scene where he slashes the villain is impressive, and this scene is also a classic. The acting skills of the protagonist and supporting actors are impeccable, and they use their professionalism to create this martial arts classic. Therefore, after thirty years, this "New Dragon Inn" is still a masterpiece that I will never tire of watching.
