669 Lock the classics in advance, Lianjie, please enlighten me
In fact, the first ten episodes of "The Swordsman" are mainly foreshadowing. Linghu Chong has many scenes, but they are not outstanding until he obtains the Dugu Nine Swords from Feng Qingyang, and then the climax begins one after another.
First, he defeated Tian Boguang, and then in a fierce battle on a rainy night at Yaowang Temple, one man used the Dugu Nine Swords to defeat all the masters, and showed off the whole audience.
Immediately afterwards, the master and the disciples broke up, the Wu Ba Gang gathered for a rebellion, the Green Bamboo Alley fought, and Xihu rescued Ren Woxing and led everyone to Shaolin.
The famous scenes of "The Swordsman" came one after another, and Linghu Chong finally shined, which directly caused the ratings to rise all the way, to the point where even the leaders of Yangshi were surprised.
From the 9th episode to the beginning, the average ratings of the whole drama have been rising all the way, exceeding 15%, reaching the highest point of 20.1. During the same period, the market share swept all TV stations, and it became the first phenomenal TV series in 2001 ahead of schedule.
The reason why the ratings are so huge is, on the one hand, the good foundation laid by the show from the beginning.
The drama is good, the production is well-written, the characters fit well, and the popularity is extremely high.
With such a foundation, when the plot begins to enter the climax stage, the ratings will naturally rise.
In addition to these, the most important thing is that a lot of netizens, critics, and media people praised the incredible fighting scene.
"This Dugu Nine Swords is so handsome!"
"Is this really the Dugu Nine Swords? Where can I learn it?"
"Did this really hit someone? Why is it so real?"
"This swordsmanship is not a routine, but it feels the same. Which master directed it?"
"Yuan Heping and Yuan Bin? No wonder!"
"I knew when Jiang Yan picked up the sword that things were not simple!"
"Jiang Yan has been practicing for how long. There are so many long shots. I hope there is editing for the first time. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable if he makes a mistake.
"
"It's similar to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", with the same scenery, the same smooth movements, and overwhelming beauty."
"This is much more hanging than in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! You can still see traces of hanging wires in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". If you look at Jiang Yan, I didn't see it anyway."
"From the beginning, I felt that the swordsmanship of various sects in this drama was very real, and they looked close to actual combat, and each had its own characteristics, but that's why I was worried that these were already very good, and the Dugu Nine Swordsmanship would be different after it came out.
What does it look like, it doesn’t pull the crotch, does it? But now after seeing Dugu Nine Swords, I finally understand why it is called Dugu Nine Swords.”
"To be honest, after watching so many action movies in Hong Kong, I thought those action movies could no longer be surpassed. But now that I have seen something like this that is almost real, I think there is still hope for martial arts."
"No, you are wrong, there is no hope, because only Jiang Yan can do these actions, not even Lian Jie.
"
The comments on the Internet were inconceivable, and the previous topics such as "injury to Zhongyong" and "bullying" were completely washed away.
Especially in the battle at Green Bamboo Alley, the classic scene when one man defeated a group of enemies with one sword. In addition to the excitement brought by the plot, they marveled at the incomparable reality of Linghu Chong using Dugu Nine Swords to fight against the enemy.
There is no "prop-like" hitting feeling.
The real sword, the actual cut bamboo, the 100% real sound effects, the difficult movements, and the opponent scenes that showed no trace of performance at all.
For a moment, everyone really thought that the crew really invited a martial arts master for this scene, and then sent dozens of people to kill him. The purpose was just to stage a shocking and real battle in Green Bamboo Alley!
They were also amazed by Jiang Yan's graceful yet violent sense of flowing clouds and flowing water.
From an actor's point of view, not many people continue to question Jiang Yan at this moment, because those actions are difficult just to watch, and Jiang Yan can do this. I really don't know how much effort he put in behind the scenes.
Because of this, some doubts about Jiang Yan disappeared.
After all, this really can't get any better. Unless the gods come over, if you question it again, you are really stupid, and if you are stupid, no one will pay attention to it.
The actor's problem has been solved, so as for the evaluation of this drama, the overall evaluation has reached a new level because of the release of Dugu Nine Swords.
Because except for the battle in Green Bamboo Alley, the fighting scenes in other scenes also had a strange improvement after Linghu Chong obtained the Dugu Nine Swords, so that the entire "Swordsman" only started at this time in a real sense.
It captures the "flame of swords and shadows in dreams".

By this time, critics and netizens also knew that this version of "The Swordsman", in addition to doing quite well in the subtitles such as Fu Huadao, the strongest aspect turned out to be the martial arts.
That's right, Jianghu, if you don't have martial arts, how can you call it Jianghu?
This is not to say that the martial arts in other martial arts films are not good, but that the martial arts sequences in this version of "The Swordsman" are great.
It is real and has imaginative action design. There are long shots and movie-like editing, and sometimes there are even slow-motion close-ups. Although there are not many, they are just right. In this era when slow motion has not yet become common, it is simply amazing.
Just killing indiscriminately.
And when these shots and martial arts actions are combined together, the whole film becomes sublimated.
As a netizen said, the martial arts of all sects have their own characteristics, and there is a system behind them. The Dugu Nine Swords are just like in the novel, an anomaly in this world, as long as Jiang
When Yan appears, the methods of Dugu Nine Swords are completely different from those of other sects. This is a visual impact brought by a real-life technique.
Just like Taekwondo for leg training versus boxing for boxing, the systems are different, and the fighting is naturally different.
This is not the shock that can be brought about by simple appearances such as "Huashan swordsmanship is to hold a sword flower", "Chongxu swordsmanship is to turn in circles", "Dugu Nine Swordsmanship is to pick sand with the sword from top to bottom".
Regarding this perception, in fact, if "Lord of the Rings" had been released at this time, many netizens would understand it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In a drama, the things exposed in front of the camera can sometimes account for more than 90%, and sometimes only 10%.
This is the case with "The Lord of the Rings". The reason why it can become a classic is that he has done the best behind the scenes work.
A prop took two years to make, but the time it finally appeared in the camera was just a flash, less than half a second.
Do you think it is useful? It seems useless and too wasteful, but it is really countless of these props that create a world that is closer to reality.
Other film and television works may not be as good as "The Lord of the Rings", but the concept is the same.
Props, scenes, characters, costumes, lines, etc.
If everything is done to perfection, a world in the play will be revealed.
The audience can also be immersed in the scene.
In the drama "The Swordsman", everything is done very well, and everything can be surpassed, but the martial arts among them achieves a sense of reality that even Xiangjiang movies cannot achieve. So as a martial arts drama
In other words, this drama is destined to become a classic that is hard to surpass.
Of course, at this point, public opinion will be torn apart as it should be. After all, this is a Jin Yong drama.
But there is a way to solve this.
No, Jin Yong came out in person:
"I really couldn't be more satisfied with Jiang Yan's Linghu Chong. This version of Swordsman is also the one closest to the version of Jiang Hu in my dream."
The old master Duanshui only served half of it this time.
For Jiang Yan, he directly gave the highest praise, while for the drama, he emphasized the "jianghu" and left it a secret.
This is also the most suitable statement.
After all, all the actors really feel that they can't compare to Jiang Yan, not even Lu Songxian. This is recognized, and the drama does have some flaws.
But this is enough.
Unless the subsequent plot is extremely controversial, Yangshi's version of "The Swordsman" has already been locked into a classic in advance, and no one will surpass it in the next twenty years.
As for the subsequent plot, is it controversial?
Jiang Yan was not worried at all.
Strictly speaking, what he is worried about now is not these, but the person in front of him.
He looked at Lian Jie, who was holding a prop sword in one hand and preparing to spar with him.
Jiang Yan was wondering if he should show off his style this time and shout, "It's a matter of life and death, as well as a distinction between superior and inferior?"
But what should Lianjie do if he takes it seriously?
When the time comes to kill someone during a spat, what will be the criminal law?
Shaking his head, Jiang Yan put the joke behind him and changed his joke.
He said sternly to Lian Jie: "Jiang Yan and Jiang Liheng, the seventy-third generation successors of Qingyun Sect, please give me some advice!"
