Chapter 1436: Although the hero is tragic, he is not lonely

Tan Sitong's deeds are actually known to anyone who has read modern history.

I also know the lasting legacy he left behind.

But in fact, in the history books, about Tan Sitong, everyone may know more about Kang Youwei.

After the previous foreshadowing, the character of Tan Sitong was created. He is an idealist. Although you can say that his methods are too immature and that he is too trusting, you have to deny that this character has its charm. .

The audience viewed Yuan Shikai from a God's perspective, but Tan Sitong, from the northeast to the capital, always regarded Yuan Shikai as someone who shared weal and woe and as someone who wanted to do something for the country.

He thought he was a fellow traveler, but unfortunately, he was wrong.

But in the end, when Wang Wu went to save him, he chose to be generous and righteous, hoping to use his blood to awaken more people.

On the way to the execution ground, someone asked suspiciously, who is that?
Some people also know that it is Tan Sitong!
As Wang Wu said earlier, those who have cared about the country and the people since ancient times have been sad people for eternity. Isn't this the case with Tan Sitong at this time?
At the execution ground, Tan Sitong was surrounded in the middle, and the people watched, crying and sending him off!
Jiujin cried and called for the young master. Tan Sitong looked at her and smiled: "You have always smiled well, why do you want to imitate others' crying? After today, you must laugh and stop crying!"

Jiujin cried and said: "Master, okay, I am obedient, and I will not cry again!"

Tan Sitong couldn't help crying and said: "Jiujin, the days to come belong to you, remember to live well!"

Jiu Jin cried and held the candied haws he bought: "Master, I bought your favorite candied haws, and I bought it for you from Liu Mazi's place, Master!"

But at this time, the hour has come and the drums are beating.

A knife was placed on Tan Sitong's shoulder. It was a knife that he was very familiar with. This knife was exactly the knife that he and Yuan Shikai gave to the big sword Wang Wu!

At this moment, the audience understood why Wang Wu borrowed the knife from Yu Wanshan before. It turned out that he was borrowing this opportunity to hold the knife.

"Fifth brother!" Tan Sitong was also surprised when he saw Wang Wu.

"Brother Tan, I'll send you on your way!" Wang Wu looked at Tan Sitong and said.

He knew the ambitions of Tan Sitong, his friend and brother, so he came and sent him on his way with the sword that Tan Sitong personally invited him to.

Tan Sitong smiled, "Wouldn't it be great to die under the sword of the commander of the Black Flag Army?"

He opened his mouth, bit into two candied haws, and then died happily!
Wang Wu raised his sword, but his eyes were still filled with tears!

The drum beat stopped, Wang Wu stabbed down, the head fell to the ground, and the candied haws fell out of his mouth...

Tan Sitong died. For the dream of a strong country in his heart, he smiled proudly and faced death generously!

Wang Wucheng fulfilled his last thought.

Wang Wu was determined to avenge Tan Sitong and bid farewell to Prince Yi and Princess Yi. The hero is short-tempered but the love between his children is long.

Wang Wu had always been in love with the princess, and even in this final farewell, he still sat outside, separated by the door and window.

Princess: "What do you want to hear?"

Wang Wu: "The most beautiful thing has been heard."

Princess "Will you remember?"

Wang Wu: "I will remember it in all my lifetimes. But after tonight, I'm afraid everything will disappear with Yunmeng."

Princess: "Clouds will disperse and dreams will disappear. But memories will not disappear. In life, what you pursue is hope, but you only get memories."

Wang Wu: "I hope you will be in my memories for all my lifetime."

Princess: "I hope I can have a close friend like Master Wu every year."

After the words fell, the princess had disappeared from Wang Wu's figure. She opened the window and saw only the falling snow and the red paper umbrella that she had given to Wang Wu when she first met, alone in the wind and snow.

Wang Wu came to Yuan Shikai's mansion. In the main hall of the hall was the "spiritual tablet of my brother Tan Sitong" that Yuan Shikai had secretly set up. Yuan Shikai looked at Tan Sitong's memorial tablet and didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he was thinking of all the things he had known before. .

Wang Wu is coming, and he also knows that Wang Wu will come.

The enemies were extremely jealous when they met before the decisive battle.Since the success or failure of history has been decided, the life and death of both sides must also be decided.

Yuan Shikai: "You are finally here. He is indeed capable of governing the country, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time."

He seemed to be trying to justify what he had done.

Wang Wu: "That's wrong. He is the one who entrusted me to someone else."

Yuan Shikai turned around and asked, "Did he go happily?"

Wang Wu: "Happily, one sword kills a hundred."

Yuan Shikai: "It's your sword skills that are good."

Wang Wu: "You will know after a while. Aren't you afraid?"

Yuan Shikai walked up to Wang Wu and said, "Yuan has already put his life and death at risk by joining the army."

Wang Wu angrily said: "You don't care about life and death, so you treat human life as nothing."

Yuan Shikai glanced at him and said calmly: "You are the loser in this battle. If you win, won't there be corpses everywhere?"

Perhaps this is because he will never understand people like Tan Sitong and Wang Wu.

Wang Wu: "Success or failure has been decided, but life and death are still pending."

Yuan Shikai: "Yes, you shouldn't come."

Wang Wu: "Of course you don't want me to come."

Yuan Shikai: "Fifth brother, the world is far away, and there is still a long way to go. It's not as good as us."

Wang Wu: "You and I are the only ones who can take the future."

Wang Wu wanted to kill Yuan Shikai, but was blocked by his friend Tao An. He let Wang Wu go, but Wang Wu was determined to kill Yuan Shikai to avenge Tan Sitong.

At the same time, Jiujin, Xiaochuan and others also came in.

"What are you doing here? This battle is not for you!"

"I'm not here to fight, I'm here to fight alongside you!"

"Fifth Master, I am here to do the last thing for the young master!"

Wang Wu looked at his young apprentice Zuo Zongsheng: "Then what are you doing here?"

"Master, I just want to be with you!"

Wang Wu raised his head and looked at the sky: "Brother Tan, just wait and see! Look at the demeanor of this generation of Shenzhou disciples! You hurry up, or it will be too late if you don't leave!" At this time, the chief instructor of Prince Yi also came with his soldiers to block their attack. retreat.

The final decisive battle begins!
All kinds of weapons and martial arts routines are all revealed at this moment!

Flower boxing champion and Ogawa staged a master-disciple duel.

This battle between soldiers and generals lasted for 5 minutes.

In the end, although all the enemies except Yuan Shikai were killed, Xiaochuan also died and Jiujin was seriously injured. Wang Wu asked his young apprentice Zuo Zongsheng to leave.

Wang Wu and Yuan Shikai finally faced off, and Yuan Shikai was naturally no match for Wang Wu.

But Yuan Shikai actually tied explosives to Wang Wu's spiritual tablet, and Jiu Jin was eventually killed in order to protect his spiritual tablet.

At the last moment, Prince Yi came with the musketeers, and Yuan Shikai escaped. Wang Wu looked at the scene in front of him, intent on killing the enemy, but unable to save himself.

"I laugh at the sky from the sidelines, and I will save my heart and gall in Kunlun!"

He read Tan Sitong's last poem aloud.

"Brother Tan, heroes are never lonely! I'm here!"

He resolutely rushed toward the gun and eventually died under random gunfire.

The princess erected a monument for him and wrote a letter to the tomb of my friend Wang Wugong. She left the red oil-paper umbrella in front of the tombstone!
The theme song sounded, as if singing Wang Wu's life.

In the ups and downs of life, who wants to be with you forever?
If the dream of a lifetime goes away with time, who would want to stay in my dream?

True heart and false meaning, false heart and true meaning, hazy earthly things.

Despite the ever-changing circumstances, this heart will always persevere, and wisdom and courage will give away friendship.

The blood is like fire, the mind is excited, and the wind is surging everywhere.

Love is like fire, with thousands of rays of light shining all over the world and never dying.

Such an ending can be said to be very un-martial arts and un-mainstream.

This is related to the traditional education we have received since childhood. The final battle between good and evil is to let "the good guys kill all the bad guys."

However, in the ending of "One Knife, All Heroes", both the good guys and the heroes died in the end. On the contrary, the film's villains, Yuan Shikai and Prince Yi, were both alive and well.

This is also what makes many movie theater representatives frown at movie screenings.

Yes, although from the perspective of the movie as a whole and its theme, this ending of this movie is in line with the tragic tone set at the beginning of the movie, but from a market level, from a commercial level, such an ending, Undoubtedly unpleasant.

But can this ending be changed?
It really can’t be changed, because although this is a martial arts film cloaked in history, the characters in it are still historical figures despite being artistically processed.

For example, Yuan Shikai, such as Prince Yi!
You can't just use your knife and drop it just for the sake of a moment of pleasure?
If this is the case, then in other words, what is the difference between it and the Anti-Japanese War drama?
If these people were really so easy to kill, then history wouldn't be like that.

Zhang Bin also frowned slightly, but then he was relieved. Perhaps if this movie had been made ten or twenty years earlier, such an ending would indeed have lost many viewers.

But now, such an ending is even more rare.

Because the audience's appreciation has already improved.

I smiled from the side to the sky, and left two Kunluns!
This is the real tone of the whole movie. The hero is not lonely, but the hero is tragic!
"Bah, bang, bang!" The applause still rang.

Anyway, that's it for this movie.

Zhao Guangming patted Li Yi's shoulder hard: "I didn't expect it to be such a movie! The ending is very good!"

In fact, if the ending is really changed, it will be a failure.

"The portrayal of the three protagonists is very successful, fitting the historical background, and showing the hero's tragedy and righteousness. Especially Wang Wu, who is both coarse and fine, not angry and self-defeating. The dialogue with Tan Sitong in prison, the hand-delivered gift Tan Sitong went on the road and died calmly in the end. The image of a "great hero" was displayed simply and cleanly. In this case, people were touched by the subjective image of the protagonist, and it seemed that the plot was no longer important."

"This is the ending. Isn't it not suitable for the current market?"

"On the contrary, I feel that people have seen too many endings where the bad guy dies, and it will be easier to accept this kind of ending that is more in line with the historical trend!"

"Also, if Wang Wu doesn't die, then this character doesn't seem to be so full!"

Many film-watching representatives couldn't help but discuss with each other.

In fact, what they discussed the most was the ending, because this ending is really unconventional and anti-mainstream.

But as the previous person said, the death of bad guys is indeed a mainstream value, but it is often scolded by the audience for being too fake, because the audience is not a fool. On the contrary, after being baptized by many movies, their understanding of the movie has changed. You know, today is different from the past.

The viewing party for "One Knife, Allure" is over.

In fact, this movie itself has attracted a lot of attention, so this movie viewing will be equally eye-catching.

In terms of theaters, Li Yi is actually not worried. Even if they are not satisfied with the ending, they cannot deny that the movie is indeed good.

This can be seen from the reactions of the film-watching representatives at the scene.

The only point they struggled with was whether the ending was too tragic?
After the screening is over, the movie will be officially scheduled and the screening will begin.

Many martial arts fans and fans of Li Yi have been looking forward to this movie for a long time, so they have been paying attention to the follow-up of this movie.

Soon after the special screening, comments from film critics and media people came out one after another.

And the response has been surprisingly good!

"One of the best martial arts movies ever written!"

“The martial arts fights are dazzling, but what impressed me even more were the dialogues full of historical feelings: “Success or failure is just a thin line, so why are we always the ones who fail?” "Those who have cared about the country and the people since ancient times have all been sad people throughout the ages." "The homeland is not a country, there is a family but no home." Similar tragedies have been repeated over and over again in the past hundred years, and they have never happened before."

"I really didn't expect it to be such a heavy martial arts movie, or to some extent it has redefined martial arts! It's no longer about the struggle for supremacy in the world, it's no longer about the love between sons and daughters, it's no longer about personal grudges, it's about the feelings of family and country. , for the dream of a powerful country in his heart, he generously goes to justice! It truly explains what it means to be a great chivalrous person who serves the country and the people!"

""One Knife Falling City" is not only a work with lots of blood, the blood of reform, the blood of men, the blood of killing, but also a passionate work. The heroic love between Wang Wu and Tan Sitong can be seen in the uneasy tears of a group of men. , in the words "As long as I have you, there will always be a swordsman team", there is the brotherhood of Wang Wu and Wan Tian, ​​in a bunch of favorite candied haws, there is the master-servant relationship between Tan Sitong and Jiu Jin, a sad and tender love song. The song contains the relationship between Wang Wu and the princess, and the teachings contain the relationship between Wang Wu and Zuo Zongsheng. These people, these things, and these relationships warm and nourish the audience in this tragic film. heart."

"This kind of movie is like a jar of burning knives. When you drink it, you will feel that your internal organs are burning, and your blood will start to boil. You will drop the jar and praise it happily. There are villains and conspiracies, but there are more. It is the awe-inspiring righteousness that sacrificed his life for the national disaster. The actor Zhao Qian is definitely a surprise. The tears in the water prison and the calm eyes in the execution ground are really heart-wrenching to watch. In addition to the plot itself, thinking about all the things that happened in the past, I can't control myself. .”

"It combines history with martial arts, fully embodying the chivalrous righteousness and feelings of serving the country and the people. I like this movie. I think it is the feeling of family and country that is revealed everywhere in the movie. From Yuan Shikai and Wang Wuzai to When the city gates are compared to "milestones" and "tombstones" respectively, the film is given a layer of sad mood of a hero's hatred.

“I can’t finish my cup of wine, I can’t finish singing my farewell song, I can’t let go of the knife in my hand, I can’t kill all my enemies.” “Success or failure is just a thin line, so why are we always the ones who fail?” “Since ancient times, all those who have cared about the country and the people have been. A sad person for the ages" "Blood splashes on the yellow sand road, and the world will be different if he dies"

What a martial arts movie!The lines are really well written! "

"From the perspective of Wang Wu, it describes the history of Yuan Shikai's betrayal of the reformers and Tan Sitong's generous death. The director constructed a world where some people are loyal and courageous, and some are heroic and brave for the country and the people, and some are betrayed and betrayed. People despised them. Wang Wu, Tan Sitong, and Yuan Shikai all became martial arts masters in the movie. The lines in the movie are very cultural, and the literal meaning of a sentence has another meaning. "Those who have cared about the country and the people since ancient times have been the eternal ones. "Sad people", "Those who do great things are either great successes or great defeats", "The motherland is not a country, there is a family but no family, the world is so big, there is no place for me, the king." Such tragedies make people sigh!"
