After Jin Yong and Gu Long combined, they had the ashes of time.

0 1

East evil Huang Shiyou, West poison Ouyang Feng, North beggar Hong Qigong, who does this remind you of?

Yes, it is Jin Yong.

Dong Xie, Du Fu, Nan Di, Bei Gai and Zhong prodigy are collectively called "Five Wonders", which come from Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes and represent the highest martial arts peak in Wulin.

Tianya, hotels in the desert, wine and women, knives and prodigals, who will you think of?

Yes, it's Gu Long.

Borderland towns, western desert, Fengling Hotel, lonely women, throat-burning spirits, sword with broken hair, wandering prodigal son who doesn't know where he came from and where he is going are all the most common elements in Gulong Jianghu.

Jin and Long are two martial arts masters, and their works have different styles. If Jin Yong is the meticulous work of the Song Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty, then Gu Long is the ingenuity of the Ming Dynasty. If Jin Yong is a magnificent aria in the 18th century, Gu Long is a euphemistic and light serenade in the Middle Ages.

In this way, two people, two kinds of martial arts flavor, each has its own merits, but can not be folded. Countless martial arts fans fantasize about what kind of rivers and lakes it would be if Jin Yong and Gu Long were combined.

It is out of the question. Fortunately, there is a director named Wong Kar-wai in this world. He realized the combination of Jin Yong and Gu Long with movies.

The film is called "Ashes of Time".

02

Wong Kar-wai is a genius. 1988 started making movies, and only made 1 1 movies in 28 years, believing in the craft philosophy of slow work and fine work. This man is paranoid. He wants to use an old cloth in the movie. He bought good cloth, not hand-copied. He has to wait for the new cloth to be put on, and then shoot naturally in a few months. Plum blossoms should be used in movies, not directly transplanted. They should be planted in the yard by themselves, and the newly planted plum blossoms can only be photographed when they bloom. He always wears sunglasses, so he is called "the king of sunglasses".

Wong Kar-wai's films have a very personal style, fragmented narrative, lonely characters, poetic and neurotic lines, lingering classical music, bizarre and oblique photography angles, and unpredictable wide-angle lenses, creating an alienated, chaotic, lonely and subtle audio-visual atmosphere, just like flickering lights in the rain at night. His splendor and decadence, confusion and watchfulness are called "Wang-style movies".

Wong Kar-wai once said that Jin Yong and Gu Long were two masters, and he preferred Gu Long himself. He thinks that Gu Long is more pure, and Gu Long has a thorough understanding of people, like a poet.

His preference for Gu Long was exposed in his first martial arts film "Time has passed". In this film, he intends to combine Jin Yong and Gu Long, two martial arts masters. The characters in the story are selected from Jin Yong's martial arts.

"The following year, Ouyang Feng returned to white camel mountain and became the overlord, known as Du. 」

"Three years later, Hong Qi joined the Gai, and eventually became the leader of the Gai, known as the North Gai. In his later years, he fought with Ouyang Feng in the snowy mountains, and they embraced each other and died. 」

Six years later, Huang lived in seclusion in Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea, claiming to be the Lord of Peach Blossom Island. 」

The difference is that he refused to copy the prototypes of Du Fu, Bei Gai and Dong Xie, and only created a prequel for Huang, Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He wants to borrow the shells of Jin Yong's characters and fill his own things.

There is no doubt that the character is Jin Yong, but Wong Kar-wai said that Gu Long was a rogue and a talented rogue. So when he is filming "Ashes of Time", he will think about how Gu Long will write this play. He likes contrast, so he tries to tell Jin Yong's story in the tone of Gu Long.

Tell the story of Jin Yong in the tone of Gu Long, so Jin Yong, Gu Long, Wong Kar-wai and Santan mixed together and made a cup of rivers and lakes with unique flavor. Clear and cool, with the smell of distant wind and sand and firm but gentle.

03

Wong Kar-wai and Gu Long have many similarities. Their works also pay attention to symbols and sense of ceremony.

Tianya, bright moon, knife. Meteor, butterfly, sword. Apricot blossom, misty rain, Jiangnan.

Gu Long is obsessed with symbolic poetry, and his favorite scenes are ancient roads, thin horses in the west wind, long streets, moonlit nights, fallen leaves, autumn wind and snow.

Wong Kar-wai is also obsessed with symbolic poems, sunshine at three o'clock in the afternoon, crowded intersections, neon lights, midnight bars, grocery stores, rooms with the house number of 2046, speeding trains, cold rain, old records and quiet corridors.

In Time Has Passed, Wong Kar-wai's semiotics finally coincides with Gu Long's semiotics.

Desert, hut, birdcage, peach blossom, hat, sharp knife.

"I've heard people say that if the knife is fast, blood will come out of the wound like the wind, which is very nice. I didn't expect to hear my blood for the first time. 」

This violent aesthetics, presented by Wong Kar-wai, is like the reappearance of Gu Long.

04

Wong Kar-wai's and Gu Long's works are also full of various rituals.

Most of the characters in Gu Long's works are obsessed with the sense of ceremony. Xiao Li uses flying knives most, not to kill people, but to carve women's faces. Chu Liuxiang likes moonlit activities. Ximen Chuixue wanted to blow the blood off his sword after killing people. Every time Ye Kai introduces himself, he always says, "My name is Ye Kai, Ye Ye, and my name is Happy."

The characters in Wong Kar-wai's films have the same sense of ceremony. Teddy boy kept combing his hair in front of the mirror. Su Lizhen always wears cheongsam upstairs and downstairs, and the clouds talk to the caves in the Mogao Grottoes. Female fugitives always wear wigs, sunglasses and raincoats. He Wu Zhi kept eating the expired canned pineapple.

The characters in Gu Long's and Wong Kar-wai's works seem to have serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, and they are obsessed with establishing a sense of ritual. In this sense of ritual, the characters deconstruct themselves, redeem themselves and establish their own unique creed.

05

"Spring, jiangnan. 」

"Autumn, konoha rustling, sunset all over the sky. 」

"On July 14th, sunny. It is advisable to break ground and avoid traveling. 」

Gu Long is so obsessed with stating time that most of his novels begin with short sentences of time plus environment, laying a classic "Gu Long-style beginning".

And Wong Kar-wai's movies also love to capture the flow of time. Clocks and watches can be seen everywhere. In a still space, the flow of time especially symbolizes the dead.

"16, April 16. 1960 April 16 you were with me one minute before 3 pm, because I will remember this minute because of you. From now on, we will be friends for one minute. This is a fact, and you can't change it, because it's over. I will come again tomorrow. 」

"When I was closest to her, the distance between us was only 0.0 1 cm. I know nothing about her. Six hours later, she fell in love with another man 」

Wong Kar-wai is almost paranoid about the delicacy of time.

In Time Has Changed, after Wong Kar-wai and Gu Long overlap, there is such an opening narration:

"10th, beginning of autumn, the sun is shining, cool breeze blowing gently, should travel to make friends, avoid new boat into the water. 」

"Sunny wind on the 15th, magistrate descent, make the world good and evil, there will be a lotus, so it is appropriate to chant Buddhist scripture to eliminate evil. 」

06

The English name of time ashes is Ashes of Times, which means ashes of time.

Whether it's Gu Long or Wong Kar-wai, the most powerful weapon in the Jianghu is time.

Time makes people old, beauty fades, and heroes fade. Time is the most invincible razor, no matter how prosperous it is, it will eventually be completely stripped off.

Wong Kar-wai and Gu Long are well aware of this. Always look at the fate of the characters in the works with the eyes of onlookers, like a pair of shining hands.

07

Many people like to imitate Wong Kar-wai and Gu Long. Because their style is obvious and easy to imitate. Symbolism, ritual sense, exquisite obsession with time, imitation of these, you will probably have a look.

But these are always their appearances. Wong Kar-wai's films are influenced by writers Liu Yichang and Mu Shiying. Mu Shiying is a representative of the New Sensation School. If you have read his novels and Wong Kar-wai's movies, it is not surprising that Wong Kar-wai likes him. Although Wong Kar-wai's lines are not geometry, they are alienated, forbearing and transparent in their bones, and no one can learn them.

Gu Long's novels are influenced by Japanese detective stories, samurai spirit, China's classical freehand brushwork, calligraphy and poetry. There is a snowy night visiting Dai Yu Gu, and the Wei and Jin dynasties are crazy about the autumn wind and bass wind, which is by no means a short sentence, so it can be printed.

Look at Wong Kar-wai and Gu Long. At first glance, mountains are mountains and water is water. Look again, seeing mountains is not mountains, and seeing water is not water. Finally, when I look back, I see that mountains are just mountains and water is just water.

08

Gu Long and Wong Kar-wai, the characters in the works, are full of fatigue. They are all tired of rivers and lakes and cities, suffering from being trapped by fate and can only save themselves.

"Everyone will go through this stage. When they see a mountain, they want to know what is behind it. I really want to tell him that maybe over the back of this mountain, you will find nothing special. Looking back, I may feel that this place is better. 」

"The more you want to forget a person, the more you will remember him. The trouble with people is their good memory. If we can forget everything, every day will be a new beginning. How well you speak. 」

In Ashes of Time, these tiredness are Wong Kar-wai's and Gu Long's. A director, a screenwriter, facing these tiredness, seems to raise a glass and drink through time and space.

09

"Do you know the difference between drinking and drinking? Wine, the warmer you drink, the colder the water. 」

This line in Ashes of Time is the original dialogue in Gu Long's novels.

Wine can warm memories and thin thoughts. Even if the wine is warm, it is most likely to turn into acacia tears when entering sadness.

How forgetful I am when I am old, but I don't forget my lovesickness. Acacia, Wong Kar-wai and Gu Long are inseparable.

10

Compared with Wong Kar-wai and Gu Long, Jin Yong is introverted. The characters in Jin Yong's novels have heroism, backbone and pride, but they don't pay attention to symbols and ceremonies. Jin Yong's works have real heroes and heroes, but there are no real artists and poets.

And Gu Long, a born poet, has vitality, firm but gentle spirit and aura. There is a fairy caressing my head, and my hair is detached and elegant because of immortality.

Writer Kong Ergou said, I think Jin Yong is Ang Lee and Gu Long is Wong Kar-wai.

In this way, you hit the nail on the head.

1 1

For the ashes of time, Wong Kar-wai himself said:

"We sometimes make some decisions in the course of life because of some stubbornness or persistence. When shooting "The Ashes of Time", what I want to express more is that those unpleasant and painful things in life will always pass like running water, and finally there will be beautiful feelings, which will be endless. 」

"This kind of beautiful feelings will be endless" is well said, and it is also very accurate when applied to Gu Long's novels. This kind of beauty is sitting at the window listening to the wind blooming, Ximen Chuixue standing in front of the door watching the snow, drinking with the panda, and Feng Siniang lighting a lamp for Xiao.

This kind of beauty, whether in the present city or in the distant rivers and lakes, does not live up to the sentence "I can't live a life of intoxication."

12

In the tone of Gu Long, telling the story of Jin Yong, Wong Kar-wai did it. He used his own "King Movie" to complete a combination of Jin Yong and Gu Long. He regards himself as the base wine to reconcile them. After turning around, he left us seemingly forgotten but always seemingly similar rivers and lakes.

So, Xiao Er, serve wine.
