Chapter 149 Tang Ju Never Disgraces His Mission
Zhang Fei pondered for a long time, picked up the coffee and tasted it, and said, "I still prefer no sugar in the coffee, the original taste is closer to the essence."

Hearing this, Tang Shuang smiled, looked at him, and said nothing, because he knew that Zhang Fei didn't want to wait for him to answer, but just made an excuse.

Sure enough, Zhang Fei paused for a while, put down his coffee, and said, "I've always been making realistic movies, but I'm also very keen on martial arts. I still remember when I was in high school, I was 17 years old, and once I saw an old book on the street. At the stall, I found a martial arts novel, I probably forgot the plot, but the characters in it are still vivid and vivid in my mind.”

"Looking at it now, the novel is not very well written, it is of a lower-middle level, and the protagonists in it are also very flat and symbolic. However, I have remembered it for more than 30 years, because it was the first martial arts novel I read. , It’s astonishing, it’s like a world opened up in front of me, it turns out that there is such a vast and weird fantasy world outside our world.”

Tang Shuang asked: "Which martial arts novel is it that Director Zhang can't forget?"

"That's "Plum Blossom Knife" by Mr. Wolong."

Tang Shuang knew Wolong. He was one of the earliest authors of modern martial arts in China, and his representative work was "Double Swords".The concepts in many martial arts novels can be traced in this "Double Swords".

The "Plum Blossom Knife" that Zhang Fei mentioned was one of his early works. The standard is not considered to be popular now, but even if it was not a popular work, for Zhang Fei at that time, it was tantamount to shocking and opened the door. A door to the world.

Tang Shuang listened quietly, and Zhang Fei said: "That's why I chose the theme of martial arts as a transformational work, which is also a response to my childhood dream. If it wasn't for my enthusiasm for martial arts and this kind of confidence, I wouldn't be able to choose a completely You can do it with unfamiliar subjects, so from this point of view, you can rest assured."

Zhang Fei continued: "As you just said, regarding other people's evaluation of "Hero", I can only say that everyone sees the issue from a different angle, so it is inevitable to be biased. I think there is no constant boundary between a king and a knight. Different eras, different people have different understandings and judgments.”

"Have you heard the allusion of Tang Ju not humiliating his mission?" Zhang Fei asked Tang Shuang.

Tang Shuang: "I heard that the King of Qin wanted to exchange land with a radius of five hundred miles for Anling, but Lord Anling refused to agree, so he sent Tang Ju to Qin."

Tang Shuang probably understood what Zhang Fei said, but he kept silent and continued to listen to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei: "That's right, Anling is a tiny country. Qin didn't want to mobilize the masses, but wanted to subdue others without fighting, so they planned to take advantage of it. Anling didn't want to subjugate the country, so it sent Tang Ju to Qin. With such an errand, other people would have escaped on the way, but Tang Ju is a knight."

"The king of Qin said to him, do you know that the emperor is angry, lays down millions of corpses, and bleeds for thousands of miles. It means that instead of giving up the land quickly, you send a commoner like you to chatter in front of me. If you are happy, you will end up with rivers of blood, when the time comes, Anling will not only perish, but may also perish."

"Tang Ju said, Your Majesty, do you know the wrath of commoners? The King of Qin said that the anger of commoners is nothing more than taking off their hats, barefoot, and hitting their heads on the ground. Tang Ju said, this is the anger of mediocre people, isn't it true? the wrath of the courageous."

"The real wrath of commoners is to assassinate King Liao of Wu, like a comet attacking the moon; Nie Zheng assassinates the puppet of Han, like a white rainbow piercing the sun; it is to avoid assassination to celebrate a taboo, like an eagle hitting a palace."

"Tang Ju said impassionedly, the real wrath of a knight, the two corpses, bleeding five steps, the world is nothing. After that, he stood up with his sword. The expression of King Qin changed, he knelt down and thanked, saying that South Korea and Wei Guo were destroyed Now, Anling Kingdom can also be preserved by relying on the land with a radius of fifty miles."

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he looked straight into Tang Shuang's eyes and said equally impassionedly: "This is a chivalrous man! The story of "Heroes" is so similar to the allusion of Tang Ju's fulfillment of his mission. The King of Qin was shocked by Tang Ju's wit and bravery." , King Qin was also shocked by the righteousness and bravery of Wuming, Can Jian and others, so the King Qin in "Heroes", from being arrogant and domineering at the beginning, became calm and sober at the end."

Zhang Fei continued: "This is a hero with the world in mind. Whether it is Wuming, Canjian, or the King of Qin, they all stand together for the world. The great heroes are for the livelihood of the people, not for petty grievances, for the so-called No. [-] in the world, fighting back and forth, fighting to the death, how can such a person be called a hero, and he has humiliated the reputation of a hero for nothing."

"Those who say that "Heroes" led to the collapse of the value system of the martial arts world are just nonsense words of short-sighted and short-sighted people! What a villain! What qualifications do such people have to discuss martial arts! What qualifications do they have to discuss "Heroes" !Your novels are not for them to read! My movies are definitely not for them to watch! Why should such people bother! Howling wolves and dogs..."

Zhang Fei at this moment is full of arrogance, which is the aura bred from being in power all the year round, as if he is the chivalrous man he calls himself, and he wants to justify his name for the world's chivalrous men!
Tang Shuang applauded and said with a smile, "Director Zhang is right! What do you think a hero should be like?"

Zhang Fei: "A true chivalrous man, a true hero, is not invincible in martial arts, nor superior in martial arts, but has the world in his heart and serves the country with virtue. In the novel "Heroes", Wuming was shot to death by random arrows. It was also the failure of Changkong and Feixue's goal of assassinating Qin, but the victory of King Qin was also the victory of Wuming and the broken sword that made King Qin wholeheartedly serve the world. The former is a personal grudge, and the latter is for the sake of the world."

"In my eyes, Can Jian and Wuming are the real heroes, the heroes of righteousness, and King Qin is the hope of these heroes..."

Zhang Fei has obviously done a lot of research on "Hero". His understanding of this novel is basically the same as Tang Shuang's. It is very rare for him and Zhang Fei to find a director with the same philosophy.

But Zhang Fei still has something to say: "You know, the story in the novel "Hero" is actually dispensable to me. As a director, it is very easy to make up a story, and it is even more exciting than yours. Much more."

Tang Shuang smiled without saying a word, not at all angry. He was curious, since Zhang Fei didn't care about the story of "Heroes", what was he looking at.

Zhang Fei: "What I want is the ideas in "Heroes", such as your discussion on bloodlines and traditions in your novel, I like it very much."

"You think that King Qin is a leader in the combination of blood and tradition. King Qin will carry forward Lu Buwei's shrewd and powerful forbearance bloodline, but the reason why King Qin breeds arrogance to look down on the world is mostly from the tradition of the royal family. Therefore, he can become a model of swordsmen in the world because he shoulders the tradition of chivalry."

"There's a lot of these sparkling ideas in Heroes that have been inspiring me, and they're like the yeast that makes the dough rise."
