What three roles did actor Bao Fang play in Jin Yong's martial arts dramas?

Hong Kong TV series have brought a lot of endless fun to many of us. Especially the Hong Kong version of Jin Yong's martial arts drama created a classic that is still unforgettable. For example, Huang Rihua's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 1983, Louis Koo's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 1995, Huang Rihua's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 1997, and Jordan Chan's 1998 version of "The Deer and the Cauldron". Each one is a classic that Jin Yong fans must watch.

Among all martial arts works, Jin Yong’s martial arts has been remade the most. After the TV series were filmed, they were then made into movies, and they all received rave reviews. What is even more worthy of mutual praise is that these martial arts-themed film and television dramas not only have attractive plots, but also the theme songs and interludes in them are every one of them. A sung classic. It can be seen that the influence of the Hong Kong version of martial arts dramas on our entire Chinese world is extraordinary.

When people watch these Jin Yong martial arts-themed film and television dramas, it is not difficult for more careful viewers to find that some characters may appear several times in different TV dramas. Although he may not be the protagonist and may not appear many times, he is indispensable in the connection of the entire plot. So, let's take a look today. This person's style has appeared many times in the Hong Kong version of Jin Yong's martial arts dramas, and each time he plays one of the few martial arts masters in the world. Not many people may know his name in real life, but when it comes to the name of his character in the play, it is really loud and clear. Let's take a look at the roles he has played.

The first place is Hong Antong. He is a villain in Jin Yong's works. This character is ambitious and colludes with external forces in an attempt to dominate the world. But there is something wrong with this man. He really likes others to flatter him, so that every time Wei Xiaobao meets him, he can escape one calamity after another by relying on his gorgeous flattery. This Hong Antong, in "The Deer and the Cauldron", apart from Chen Jinnan and Feng Xifan, maybe he has the best martial arts, right? This person's inner strength is very deep, and he can kill anyone by throwing a bamboo pole or a stone at will. In the entire "The Deer and the Cauldron", there are only a few such masters.

The second place is Feng Qingyang. I believe everyone must be familiar with Lu Songxian's version of "The Swordsman". This Jin Yong martial arts drama is the first martial arts drama that the editor has ever watched. I was also influenced by Linghu Chong's cheerfulness and unrestrainedness in the play. At that time, I was still young. The most straightforward thing was to often take a long wooden stick and use the stick as a sword to travel through the rivers and lakes. This is what Jin Yong's martial arts brought to the editor. The original A knight's dream. In this TV series, the person who makes the protagonist Linghu Chong truly grow up and become the world's top martial arts master is Feng Qingyang. Feng Qingyang gives people a mysterious feeling, and through this sense of mystery, people feel that his martial arts are even more unfathomable. Friends who like Jin Yong's martial arts also know that Feng Qingyang, a representative of the Huashan Sword Sect, taught Linghu Chong the Dugu Nine Swords. His sense of mystery comes more from the anonymity of life. For example, Zhuge Liang, before he came out of the mountain, everyone thought he was very powerful, so much so that Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times before inviting him. Feng Qingyang is such a mysterious character in "The Swordsman". His martial arts skills are so strong that he can rival Dongfang Bubai. As a top-notch expert in our business, one has to admire him greatly.

The last one is the sweeping monk who appears as the finale. In Jin Yong's "Dragon", he played a peerless master. Everyone must be familiar with the sweeping monk, right? Not to mention fans of Jin Yong's martial arts, even many friends who have not paid much attention to Jin Yong's movies and TV series may have heard of this character more or less. The old sweeping monk, as the name suggests, is an old man who cleans the house. In Shaolin Temple, his daily duty is to clean the courtyard, just like the aunties and uncles that many of our units pay to clean. This man's name sounds so ordinary at first glance that people can easily ignore his existence. No one knew about him until he took action, but once he took action, he became a blockbuster. Regarding the martial arts of the Sweeping Monk, in the entire "Dragon and the Eight Parts" and even in all of Jin Yong's martial arts works, there are probably not many people who can surpass him, right? We all know that Qiao Feng's martial arts skills are powerful, especially Huang Rihua's version. With its own sound system, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms he performs feel absolutely unrivaled in the world. Qiao Feng is such an awesome person, but when he met the sweeping monk, he realized that what he had learned in his life was nothing. Not only that, Murong Fu, who is as famous as Qiao Feng, has excellent martial arts skills such as the Star Movement. When two masters met the sweeping monk at the same time, there was nothing their martial arts could do. This is Jin Yong's way of telling everyone that the more ordinary people seem to be the most unknown, the more they cannot be underestimated.

Having said so many interesting things about Jin Yong’s martial arts, let me finally tell you the name of this person. His name is Bao Fang. Several members of his family have also made their mark in Hong Kong film and television dramas. Especially his son, who is a famous photographer in Hong Kong. He won the Oscar for Best Cinematographer in the martial arts movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
