[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to the plot

If outsiders mess with my brother, they will kill him. Look at the warlords! If you provoke my brother's brother, you will be killed. Look at the warlords!

Taiping soldiers with long hair and spears are killing the defeated Qing army, not "stabbing horses", here are "warlords" Depicted a cruel killing field.

The pure large-scale war scene is a wilderness attack and defense war built at the beginning of Shanzi Camp, with 800 people versus 5,000 people. As the spoiler said, the 200 death squads exchanged their flesh and blood for the deadly 100 step range difference of the top 200 archers of the 300-gun team. The scene will be very tragic, but what really shocked the eye was the shocking scene in which Jet Li led Qin Bing into the artillery team of Taiping Army, Jet Li fought a hundred battles, his limbs were broken, and his human body was shattered by gunfire at close range.

When I slaughtered the surrendered Taiping soldiers in Suzhou City, I thought of the scene of the silver saint slaughtering Gold Saints in Golden Flower, but unlike the massacre in Golden Flower, Chen Kexin did not directly express the dying struggle of thousands of prisoners surrounded by the Acropolis, but through their dying cries, the painful expression on the faces of the third brother Jiang Wuyang and the archer, and the second brother Zhao Er who was locked in the yard. In order to express this tragedy, many viewers stood up straight and looked at it dumbfounded. The atmosphere can't even breathe. After all, Chen Kexin handed the camera to the body of the Acropolis, and then the Qing army added the body of the captive to the trench, which brought people a shock that Jinhua's childish splendor could not match. Takeshi Kaneshiro's nightmare is simply a successful "horror" clip. More than half of the audience were frightened and held their breath.

I have to mention the music and sound effects of the whole play. In music, I saw Jin Peida's name. There is a sadness in the plot music of the whole drama, which contrasts with the bloody plot and sets off a kind of sadness in troubled times. In terms of sound effects, the sound of broken bones and swords piercing flesh and blood in the war, the sound of gunfire and fighting are quite shocking, and the sound effects accompanying the plot are also quite exciting. Some female viewers were shocked by the sudden sound effects of the plot.

In terms of characters, neither the three superstars nor Xu let people down. Jet Li has fully demonstrated a lean role with a mixture of desire and talent. At the end of the slaughter of the soldiers in the camp, Pang Qingyun, who survived by playing dead, walked aimlessly and met the lotus flower (Xu ornaments) who escaped. There is no scene of passion here. Chen Kexin uses a more dreamy lens and Takeshi Kaneshiro's unforgettable narration to explain the story and cover it up. Pang Qingyun really loves Lian Sheng, so after Zhao Erhu went to assassinate Suzhou Shoujiang, he said to Lian Sheng, "If he doesn't come back, I will marry you", which didn't help his future. When Zhao Erhu assassinated Suzhou Shoujiang and returned safely, the soldiers cheered Zhao Erhu's name. The complex expression on Jet Li's face reflected his disappointment and anxiety. He was disappointed at the birth of the lotus and worried about Zhao Erhu's prestige. If Pang Qingyun is a downright bad guy, Jet Li is good. Piansheng still cares about brotherhood, so after arranging to kill Zhao Erhu, he will talk to himself about empty bowls and chopsticks, hide his face and cry, and will cry bitterly when he learns that Jiang Wuyang killed Lotus. These, before Jet Li's film and television works, were not.

Andy Lau was born with vital qi, which made him familiar with the role of Zhao Erhu, from his outspoken voice in front of his boss, to his mutual appreciation as a commander in Suzhou, to the sadness and despair of prisoners looking at bodies everywhere after being slaughtered, and the subsequent cognitive changes. After the accident, he still rushed into the trap without hesitation to save Pang Qingyun. Andy Lau's performance can't be said to be perfect and beyond, but he dutifully showed the role of Zhao Erhu.

Takeshi Kaneshiro was slightly eclipsed by the two superstars, which may be related to his simple role. The most beautiful scene of his play is in the contradiction between the worship of Pang Qingyun and the torture of his own conscience. His third brother, Jiang Wuyang, saved himself in the battle against Pang Qingyun. After witnessing his ability to take the life of the enemy general, he completely surrendered to Pang Qingyun, which affected all his later behaviors, including cutting off the head of the enemy handsome in World War I. Including the illegal brothers who beheaded Pang Qingyun, including his trembling and tears when he personally directed the slaughter of prisoners. When this contradiction reached its climax, he naively thought that killing Ersao would stop Pang Qingyun from killing Zhao Erhu, and he did not hesitate to put it into action. At the moment he saw Zhao Erhu's body, all his beliefs collapsed.

Lian Sheng, an insatiable woman, wanted to care, love and even covet wealth, so she ran away several times. After taking Nanjing, she hesitated about Zhao Erhu's suggestion to go home, but she was kind-hearted, so she could firmly say that "he (Zhao Erhu) was a good man" and would cry without sending a signal in time after Zhao Erhu was stabbed in the city. Her love belongs to Pang Qingyun, but her fate implicates Zhao Erhu. She is also afraid of death, so she will be incoherent before she dies. Xu put all this in place.

The warlords is not so much a war film as a tragedy. It tears human nature, destroys dreams and makes people desperate to the extreme.

Continuous life is a tragedy. From the time she was sold as a prostitute to following Erhu, a person she didn't love, to the time she met Pang Qingyun, a love that couldn't bring her a stable life, and finally died at the hands of Jiang Wuyang, the only thing she took the initiative to accept was that she finally fell into hell.

Zhao Erhu is a tragedy. As soon as he lived a frank and chivalrous life, he watched his hard-earned money taken away by the Qing army. He watched his brothers die one by one in front of the musket, but he had to stay put according to Pang Qingyun's instructions. Faced with the deaths of thousands of prisoners who promised that the enemy would save their lives, he could do nothing. Until he finally saw through the war, nor did he see through Pang Qingyun. Before he died, he was still thinking about Pang Qingyun's safety. However, Zhao Erhu's brother dream has not been shattered. He cried "Big Brother" when he died. In his mind, the three men were brothers when they became sworn.

Jiang Wuyang is a tragedy. His tragedy is that in his life, the only creed is the 28-word oath mentioned by Zi Ling at the beginning of the text, but those vows have been shattered one by one. He killed the enemy, killed his men, killed prisoners, killed his second sister-in-law, and finally assassinated Pang Qingyun. These are all 28 words. Whoever lets outsiders confuse my brother will be killed, depending on the warlord. If you mess with my brother, his brother will be killed. Look at the warlords. Jiang Wuyang is a man without self.

Pang Qingyun and Chen Kexin endowed him with the character of seeking fame by hook or by crook, and gave him a corresponding name by the way. He is still a human being, he will be grateful and fall in love with Lotus, he will be desperate to save his brother in the war, and he will be reluctant to kill Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang several times, but in the end, he will be willing to give up just for his ambitious dream. It's just that he is naive, or he is carried away by his dreams. He is like a child with stunts but no sense of the world, so weak in front of the queen mother and ministers who are good at politics. Pang Qingyun abandoned almost everything, and even prepared to abandon the last Jiang Wuyang. He was sent to the bottom of the valley by a bullet in the back. On his deathbed, he understood everything, but he didn't want to believe, "Quick, warlords". He told Jiang Wuyang that Jiang Wuyang saw the gunshot wound and immediately understood it. His last knife sent Pang Qingyun back to his dream. He shouted, "Punk! It's Jiang Wuyang! " -His eldest brother didn't fail, but was stabbed to death by his brother before he succeeded.

[Edit this paragraph] Character introduction

Big Brother-Jet Li Atypical Performance: Began to try the marginal role is also a warlord.

Pang Qingyun, the eldest brother played by Jet Li, is a man who puts national interests first. He hoped to end the war by himself, but later died because of political differences with Zhao Erhu. Later, he was killed by Jiang Wuyang, the third brother who came to seek revenge.

The atypical performance of Andy Lau, the second brother: he has never been so simple-minded. The origin of being cheated is greed

Zhao Erhu can be said to be a simple-minded person. Explaining this character to reporters, Andy Lau said, "In fact, I had no idea that people lied to me. I just feel that Jet Li has betrayed his friendship with his country and his ideals, but I don't think the same as him. The role is completely unintelligent and very loyal. He never doubts anything. I don't know what happened from the beginning of the film to his death. This is a relatively simple role. "

Although Jiang Wuyang and I are brothers who share weal and woe, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro don't have much opposite. Hanako believes that at first, the second brother always thought that Jiang Wuyang needed to take care of his younger brother, so his play was not so strong. There is only one scene where Erhu discovers that his younger brother's concept is completely different from his own. In fact, when he is the same as his big brother, there will be a deep collision, and there are not many others.

The third brother-Takeshi Kaneshiro's atypical performance: regardless of his brother's popularity.

Takeshi Kaneshiro doesn't think his role is simple. He felt that the choice faced by Third Brother was the most complicated. Second brother has no choice but to follow his own ideal. Big brother is the same. But when he faced the feelings of warlords and brothers, he was in an awkward position. This is the most difficult place for him to grasp.

The chemical action of Lian Sheng-Xu with a touch of purple evergreen shrub is hard to ignore.

Although Xu's role in this play can't be compared with the other three, he also plays a very important role. As the director said: "Xu's importance to this role lies in chemical action." Without this woman, many things can't be explained clearly, so she is a very important role. But is she a tool to express war and human nature? You could say that. I'm in charge of every role. He is a modern woman and a tragic figure. He is more demanding than ancient women. But we haven't seen the requirements of modern times for ancient women. I don't believe that ancient women suffered silently. There are actually many stories. What we see now is because it is not written in ancient books, not without it. " You can see how important this role is to the balance between the characters.

[Edit this paragraph] Behind the scenes tidbits

Chen Kexin's Re-interpretation of Stinging Horse

The prototype of Stabbing Horse is one of the four mysterious cases in the late Qing Dynasty, and its status is equal to that of Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage. Because it involves many dramatic elements such as beauty, loyalty and betrayal, it has been adapted into Beijing opera and movies. The most famous film is the version made for Xiao by director Zhang Che more than 30 years ago.

Zhang Wenxiang and Huang Zong are both rebellious people. They have never met Ma Xinyi and become brothers of the opposite sex. Milan, the wife of Huang Zong, the second child, worships Ma Xinyi, the eldest brother, but Ma Xinyi has established a solid emotional defense line and has not been broken by Milan's love. When Ma Xinyi was appointed as the governor of the two rivers, Milan became more and more fond of Ma Xinyi, and Ma Xinyi did whatever it took to achieve his goal, and his moral and emotional defense line collapsed completely, eventually occupying Milan and killing his younger brother Huang Zong. Wenxiang Zhang, the third son, was furious when he heard the news. He assassinated Ma Xinyi and pleaded guilty in the punishments.

Zhang Che's classic "Sting the Horse" stars John Chiang, Chen Guantai, Tommy Tam and Jing Li. The whole story revolves around three men turning against each other for a woman, bloody and heroic. At that time, Zhang Che's films were brilliant, not only sweeping the 1 1 Taiwanese Golden Horse Award, but also being regarded as a model of cooperation between director Zhang Che and action director Liu Jialiang.

After many years, Jet Li, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Andy Lau will be replaced by three leading men in Chen Kexin's remake "Stabbing the Horse". Jet Li plays Ma Xinyi, Andy Lau plays Huang Zong, whose wife was robbed and killed, and Takeshi Kaneshiro plays Wenxiang Zhang, who finally finished "stabbing the horse".

The film is set in the Qing Dynasty, and all the actors in the film have to shave their heads. This time, "Stabbing Horse" will take a realistic route. In addition to the three leading actors, other actors "must be very manly and not handsome" and will "sleep in the wind" when filming. Takeshi Kaneshiro changed his handsome image in the past and appeared in a unshaven shape.

Cima changed its name to warlord.

The epic war movie War Horse, which cost 40 million US dollars and starred by China's three leading actors Jet Li, Andy Lau and actress Xu Lian, was officially renamed warlords. This film has attracted much media attention since it started shooting at the end of last year. Although the director has said that this story is brand-new in content and viewpoint, the media from all walks of life always point out that this film is a remake of Shao's old version of "Sting the Horse". In order to avoid confusion, the director decided to officially change its name to warlords.

Faced with the misunderstanding that warlords is a remake of Shao's stab at the horse, the director said that in history books, novels, legends or plays, creators can freely draw materials and interpret them, and there is no problem of "remaking the old version". Especially since the shooting, the director and the screenwriter team have further enriched the plot of this film and made "warlords" into a completely different work. Of course, the most important thing is the profound description of brotherhood in the play. Just as director Chen Kexin said that he would make an epic war film comparable to The True Color of Heroes, the oath of allegiance of the three protagonists became the most important key of the whole film. According to the spirit of Liangshan heroes who swear to die together, they made a "warlords" with blood: "Life cannot be born together, and death is willing to die together" and embarked on the road of no return; In ancient times, "warlord" was a loyalty card, which meant that before joining an organization, he expressed his loyalty by the behavior recognized by the organization. The so-called "heroes must accept warlords." As far as today is concerned, it is to file an application, which illustrates the plot of Lin Chong going to Liangshan in Water Margin. Later, many novels quoted this statement. Therefore, as the key to the tragedy of the characters in the play, the warlords can be said to be the best choice for the film title.

The warlords is under great pressure.

The warlords is the first costume blockbuster directed by Chen Kexin, but the first month of shooting was not smooth. The first play originally planned to be completed in 7 days actually took 20 days. Chen Kexin admitted that he was under great pressure in the process of investment and creation: "The main reason is that he underestimated the weather and action design. This action design is completely a groping process. It is not to create any new action, but to pursue a sense of' truth' and' strength' in action. There is no prestige that is common in costume films, and nothing is done in front of the camera. But it makes others feel insecure. They always say that I have destroyed the only advantage of China's martial arts films. " In addition, due to a large number of scenes in the film, Chen Kexin said that communication is also extremely complicated. However, he did not change his work style for many years: "I always wanted to do what I wanted to do when filming, but I didn't expect to do it." Although this film is my biggest investment, I will still leave a lot of creative space for the shooting scene. With so many excellent people together, I want to tolerate everyone's emotions and expressions. Even if I know it won't be used in movies, I won't interrupt each other at that time, because you may capture the moment you want. And finally, what I want to do is to summarize everyone's expressions on my track. "

Jet Li, who knows the role better than the director.

Chen Kexin said that the bloody and sinister things in the Jianghu in the warlords are just an armchair strategist for himself, but for Jet Li, he "once lived in those stories".

There is a scene of Pang Qingyun attacking Suzhou. After being besieged for a year, he was short of food and guns, so he had to beg for food and grass, but he was always afraid that he would make contributions to the three public services, but Pang Qingyun never saw him. In desperation, Pang Qingyun decided to ask his old enemy, General He Kui, to make great contributions at the expense of attacking Nanjing.

Jet Li told him that he didn't think Pang Hui had found Sangong, so he went to He Kui directly from the beginning. "Jet Li actually knows how to survive in this embattled environment," said Chen Kexin. Only then did he realize that people's lives when they were young really influenced their judgment. Jet Li knows Pang Qingyun better than himself. Therefore, Chen Kexin still hopes that Pang Qingyun at that stage will not have such a profound understanding of life, and hopes that he will get the sympathy of the audience and keep the scene. But he also realized that "Jet Li's understanding of the role of Pang Qingyun is different from mine, even deeper."

Warlords have committed three taboos of Takeshi Kaneshiro.

In fact, Chen Kexin and Takeshi Kaneshiro are old friends. The film "If you were in love the year before last" established trust. But it only took 15 minutes to convince Jet Li, but it took two months to convince Takeshi Kaneshiro. Because "The Warlords" violated three taboos that Takeshi Kaneshiro refused to participate in the play.

First, don't play with other leading actors; Second, don't pick ancient costumes; Third, don't take the scenes that are shot in too hard places. Especially the first one, Chen Kexin, who knows Takeshi Kaneshiro very well, explained: "First of all, Takeshi Kaneshiro is a person who lives in harmony with the world. In fact, the world is not really in harmony with the world, but on the surface. How can I be an actor? Therefore, there are more leading men, everyone is fighting, and he must suffer. " Takeshi Kaneshiro struggled for two months and didn't agree to accept the role of Jiang Wuyang. Chen Kexin thought that he definitely stopped playing and was about to find someone else, but he received a phone call from Takeshi Kaneshiro in the middle of the night: "I still play, I believe you!" Takeshi Kaneshiro said that the reason why he finally convinced himself to play this role was, "I trust Chen Kexin, and I will show him my unconfident side."

Chen Kexin: The brotherhood I see is based on the needs of interests.

The description of warlords has always been a "war movie about brotherhood", but in fact, director Chen Kexin "has never had brotherhood since childhood". Even if you ask his friends, he can only point out that Wu Junru is sitting not far away. "Without her, I would have no friends." Then, I looked at you sincerely and apologetically from behind my glasses.

Chen Kexin had no brothers since he was a child, only one sister, and he had the best relationship with his father. At school, because I am young, I don't play ball and don't even make friends. Instead, I like to make friends with girls. I've never been in a fight since I was a kid, and I've never hung out with my buddies. The most exciting time is to watch other boys fight. "It's like watching those underworld movies, and suddenly I'm very excited and nervous. Those blood and bricks are like games for young and dangerous people. " As an adult, Chen Kexin's first job was a summer job in Jiahe. 1986, John Woo filmed a gunfight film "Heroes Don't Cry" with Thailand as the background in Jiahe. Please ask Chen Kexin who knows Thai to help. Since then, he has entered the business world. At the age of 29, I became a director, filmed A Tale of Two Cities, and filmed the parting scene of Maggie Cheung and Alan Tam. I cried with the staff present. From then on, he filmed all the love scenes until the warlords.

He frowned and said, "I don't know what brotherhood is." Sometimes when I drink in a bar, someone will pat me on the shoulder and say,' We are all good friends and brothers'. I get goose bumps every time I hear these words. I think it's better not to romanticize my emotions with alcohol. What I see is the need based on interests. Is there really such a good brotherhood? I yearned for it, but I didn't. "

Therefore, in the melee between warlords, brotherhood was finally replaced by conspiracy theories. The classic Hong Kong movie put a gun to your head and asked, "Are you brothers?" The scene did not appear. Instead, Pang Qingyun lied to Zhao Erhu when he was in danger, and hid in a dark room after he finished, suggesting a murderous look. Chen Kexin thinks this is like modern society. "When the CEO of Big Brother succeeds, he will drive away the younger brother who used to be a pioneer cow."

Warlords' actions

On the first day of filming "warlords", I took a shot of robbing the canteen. Originally planned to shoot for 7 days, but it took a month. In the middle, Chen Kexin once felt "finished", so the first scene was dragged on, and he didn't want to shoot later. When I was depressed, I even denied myself to take the initiative to ask for a refund and let the investor change directors.

The reason is that Chen Kexin has never made a drama, let alone a war scene in which thousands of extras frequently participate. He invited Cheng Xiaodong, one of the three action directors in China. Cheng Xiaodong, nicknamed "King Ye Wei", is best at using various great achievements to make actors fly in the sky. The action style is elegant and smart, and Peter Pan is flying all over the sky. The new Longmen Inn, heroes, blogs and shaolin soccer that you have seen are all his works. But this time, Chen Kexin wants truth, so, "You don't use any threats, don't design any fancy moves, you want' truth'." Takeshi Kaneshiro (listening to music) said that Chen Kexin left these words and went away. Cheng Xiaodong racked his brains and almost collapsed.

The painful situation of "amateurs guiding experts" finally appeared. Cheng Xiaodong understood what Chen Kexin meant, but the whole regiment of Cheng Jiaban had to change from "air force" to "army" at once. I don't know how many process details to subvert and communicate with each other. There are many problems and inertia cannot be changed. It was not until ten days later that a "translator" came-jet blog.

"I am a director who can't shoot martial arts films, and I want to pursue realism. They couldn't understand what they were saying, so it was difficult for Cheng Xiaodong's team to do it. Jet Li knows actions, actors and directors. As a result, he made a bridge of communication and clearly explained what I wanted. " Even Cheng Xiaodong said, "He is the only actor who really knows martial arts. It is much easier for me to communicate with him. " Jet Li revealed that his "translation" process was actually full of violence. "Xiaodong and I have been friends for more than 20 years. I can close the door with him, strike the table and play the bench. You can't do this! 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 pizza, and the other has to eat jiaozi. With an interpreter, I understood at once. "

After "At First Sight", he filmed the battle of Shucheng, and Chen Kexin filmed another "Moth". "I hope the camera is in the crowd. I hope people in the back can see that these weapons come out from behind the buddies in front. I also need a lot of facial details to make the audience feel on the battlefield when watching the drama. " Cheng Xiaodong told us that this is what Chen Kexin asked him to describe. Cheng Xiaodong's personal hobby is to put the plane aside and shoot big scenes. Ke-xin Chen stopped to discuss with Cheng Xiaodong again. "I only know that he didn't want to shoot like this, but he looked at me and asked me what I wanted, and I couldn't say it." Finally, as a result of coordination, Chen Kexin concentrated on the details he wanted to pay attention to, such as the bleeding face of the soldiers and the ferocious expression of killing red eyes, and asked Cheng Xiaodong to arrange the grand scene of the Golden Goma Iron Mine.

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

Warlord photography

Arthur Wong, who won the best cinematography award for six times, is a real big shot in the Hong Kong film industry. He called Chen Kexin a director who would "squeeze" people's wisdom. The first is the shooting method of big scenes. Arthur Wong used "the most in 30 years" to describe the cast. "We use eight cameras to shoot thousands of people at the same time, and three are 24 seats. We have to start three or four cameras at the same time to shoot a literary drama, which is really flattering for our photography and exceeds expectations. " This way of shooting made Arthur Wong have a spark. "Grasping the instantaneous reaction will be much more natural, and the actor's natural expression will stay."

Suzhou Gully Night Show is the biggest night show in Arthur Wong. The night view range of two or three kilometers should be able to show the mood of soldiers in the trenches for nine months. "The wall here is dark and there is decoration. Chen Kexin asked that the ditch should be black and there should be no subsidized light source. " This brings a problem to photography-it's too big and it's not taken in a shed. What can we do without light? Finally, Arthur Wong said that he was forced to come up with the method of "drilling wood to make a fire", and with the help of many fluorescent lamps, they hit the wall and reflected back to people's faces, thus completing the shooting. "The sense of terror is very strong, and this scene makes me feel very fulfilled."

Chen Kexin insists that the tone color of this film is "unprecedented". During his 30-year film career, Arthur Wong made all kinds of costume films, except "unprecedented costume films". I can only try my best, red, blue and green lights, toss and turn, constantly denied, and then start again. Until the end, come out-bronze. Chen Kexin is very satisfied. "We chose the bronze hue, poor robber! Clothing and scenery are unified at this point. Only highlight the color and red of the skin. Red symbolizes desire and blood in this play, and they buy desire with blood. " The whole play has always been cool, and it was not until the three men were promoted to the south that bright colors began to appear. The scenery, costumes and lighting were all treated in another color. "It's dusk. I used to play day and night. There is only silver moonlight at night, and there is no blue at all. " Arthur Wong recalled some treasures.

Trivia:

The name "warlords" comes from the plot of Lin rushing into Liangshan in Water Margin. Kill someone before joining, and use the head as a pawn.

The film used 15 deputy directors and 6 cameras. The biggest war scene lasted for 20 minutes, and even two people had 300 people in the background.

Jet Li was deeply impressed by a play of the dead. "As usual, I received a red envelope of 100 yuan. Because I want to lie in the coffin, I sealed a small red envelope from 5 yuan. I donated this 105 yuan to the One Foundation. "

Jet Li played the most literary plays in the film. Chen Kexin said: "It seems that Jet Li has never made an impressive love scene except for his 13th aunt, but it is Takeshi Kaneshiro who works harder and harder in this play and finds such a beautiful boy, but you won't believe it. On the contrary, Jet Li is the one with the most literary dramas. "

Chen Kexin did consider looking for Shu Qi to play the heroine, but this role needs someone who looks unattractive and sexy at first glance. Although Shu Qi acted well, she was "flying" because she was too sexy.
