Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

The TV is very lively, and it’s a very old martial arts movie. Although the action design and the imagery, or the actors’ performances are very old and rough, but Qiao Feng But I watched it with gusto.

"Why did you suddenly look at Longmen Inn? I remember watching this film when I was a kid." Lin Qingxia walked to the sofa with a plate of fruits, first fed Qiao Feng a bite of apples, and then put down the fruits and sat cross-legged with Qiao Feng. Around.

"It was also when I was a kid," Qiao Feng corrected.

Lin Qingxia gave a chuckle, tilted her head and looked at Qiao Feng and said, "Yes, it was when you were young, but how old you were then. Have you seen this movie. Do you remember?"

"Hey, I didn't take you to mock people like that. I was five years old at that time, and I had already started to remember things." Qiao Feng retorted unwillingly.

"Haha." Lin Qingxia chuckled again, the laughter was a bit despised. But that's right, the five-year-old kid will not say whether the family will bring such a small child into the cinema, even if he enters. Can you understand it and remember what.

Not to mention the five-year-old Qiao Feng. Lin Qingxia had seen it at that time and had seen it twice, but now let her talk about it, she can’t say anything specifically. The lens has an impression.

When the Longmen Inn was released, Qiao Feng was five years old and Lin Qingxia was thirteen years old. The eight-year-old age gap has always been a thorn in Lin Qingxia's heart, so she rarely talks about age. This time she also said something casually. , She stopped asking deeply.

"You haven't said why you watched this movie suddenly. The videotape of this movie is hard to find." Lin Qingxia pulled the topic back to the beginning.

"It's not easy to find, but it doesn't bother me. There are copies in the theater chain warehouse, but after a long time, the main reason is that the picture is not good because of poor storage. However, Shaw Brothers has good copies. The belt is what I asked Shao for.” Qiao Feng said casually, let alone the belt 20 years ago, it is the very old belt pushed forward, as long as there is stock, he can get it, Shao It can be said that it is the largest film producer in Southeast Asia. The film library is quite large. In addition to operating theaters, it can be said that Hong Kong, as well as other regions and countries, most of the film copies or video tapes are in stock.

"Are you suddenly watching this film to be nostalgic?" Lin Qingxia asked.

"No. I just think this film is very classic, the story is very good, and you don’t always say that the pay is too high, no one asks you to film, and I don’t arrange roles for you, people are about to rust, so I just want to adapt this movie for you. It just so happens that Xu Ke has nothing to do after filming A Chinese Ghost Story. This guy is not very interested in doing things. If he doesn’t arrange things for him, I’m afraid he can only make a movie in one or two years. "Qiao Feng grinned and climbed Lin Qingxia's shoulders, asking for credit.

The New Dragon Inn produced by Xu Ke in the original time and space can be said to be a classic of Xu Ke's style of martial arts film. Whether it is Lin Qingxia, Liang Jiahui or Zhang Manyu, even the villain Zhen Zidan has left a deep impression on people.

However, it can be seen from the new characters of the film title Xinlongmen Inn that the story of Longmen Inn is not the first time to be filmed.

As early as 1966 when he was still at Shaw Brothers, director Hu Jinquan conceived and wrote "Longmen Inn" (originally named "Qijie"). Later, after leaving Shaw, he moved to Taiwan Federal Corporation and joined the first film made by the new company. It is the Dragon Inn.

In October 1967, Dragon Inn was released in Taiwan and then in Hong Kong. The distribution company in Hong Kong was Shaw Brothers.

The Dragon Inn can be said to be another milestone work of Hu Jinquan after The Drunk Man. In the end of Shaw Brothers, he filmed the Drunk Man, which became famous in one fell swoop, and then he gained a foothold in the Federation with the Longmen Inn.

Dragon Inn became the top ten best-selling Mandarin films in Taiwan in 1967, with a gross revenue of NT$4.42 million in Taiwan’s box office.

And then the disgraceful Taiwan fire, the Dragon Inn in Hong Kong has created Hong Kong as a port,

In addition to the records of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Dragon Inn was also shown in New York for 3 weeks and in San Francisco for 2 weeks.It set a new record for Taiwanese film release in the United States, and was released again in the fall of the same year.

Distributed by the Japanese Shochiku Company and Fujifilm, it first premiered in Hokkaido. It was the first Taiwanese film to be officially released in the Japanese theater system.

Korea Cinema Co., Ltd. imported the "Longmen Inn" film with a foreign film quota, and was released in Chinese pronunciation, with Korean letters, and was shown in Piccadilly Theater in South Korea. It was the first Chinese film to be exported to South Korea under a foreign film quota; At minus 30 degrees, it was screened for 41 days and sold 320,000 coupons, surpassing the "007" film series, breaking the box office record of Korean film history.

Wait, wait..., Longmen Inn can be said to have created various records in Southeast Asian countries and regions.

Looking at it after twenty years of childhood, Longmen Inn was a bit rough, but it was limited to equipment, age and other objective factors, but at that time, Longmen Inn was definitely the most conscientious work.

Take the props as an example. If it was shot at Shaw, Shaw would definitely not go out if he could set up the scene in the studio, because the expenses would be much higher. If the costume can be made ok, he will definitely make do, he will definitely not do it. New, in short, save it, let alone the 1960s. In the first two years when Shaw Brothers was closed, martial arts movies were made like this, so they were always laughed at and stayed in the 60s and 70s. It did not come out in the era, which is also a major reason for the decline of Shaw Brothers movies.

But Hu Jinquan’s shooting of Longmen Inn is completely different from Shaw Brothers. He will never shoot in the studio if he can go out. In addition, Taiwan is much larger than Hong Kong, and there are many options. Therefore, the scenery of Longmen Inn It is very, very beautiful.

A scene where Shi Jun and other four people fight against Cao Shaoqin was filmed along the Trans-Highway in Taiwan. It was over two kilometers above sea level. The filming was quite hard, but hard work had the advantage of hard work. Not only did the box office explode, but it was also filmed when shooting the distant scenes. The sea of ​​clouds behind them is definitely the most classic scene. Qiao Feng, who is used to watching the sea of ​​clouds scenes in various film and television dramas of later generations, feels that this scene is very beautiful when watching it, giving people a kind of ethereal fairy tale.

This kind of lens is basically not taken in Hong Kong, because there is no such ground conditions.

This is Hu Jinquan, this is Longmen Inn, a sincere production 20 years ago, a classic.
