There is no doubt that comics are a more intuitive form of expression. No matter how many words you use to describe a beauty, they are still inferior to a skilled painter who can intuitively present the image of this beauty with a brush.
In Jin Yong's original version of "Swordsman", Dongfang Bubai is really hard to like, because he is undoubtedly a big villain. He met Tong Baixiong when he was eleven years old, and thanks to Tong Baixiong's help, his parents There was no way to bury him after his death, and Tong Baixiong took care of the funeral. But later, just because Yang Lianting wanted to kill Tong Baixiong, he personally killed Tong Baixiong, who was as close to him as a brother and had done many merits for him. This kind of kindness will be repaid with revenge. How can you make people fall in love with a character?
And everyone knows that the "Sunflower Book" is an evil skill. People who practice this kind of evil skill are naturally not good people.
However, Jin Yong's portrayal of this character is indeed very successful. This "sunrise in the east, I am the only one who is undefeated" Dongfang Bubai can be described as a treacherous hero.
Unlike other people who are willing to be mediocre, and unlike all the lucky people in the world who succeed overnight, Dongfang Bubai's power and martial arts are all obtained through his own efforts. However, those with great power will use their power to bully others if their hearts are not enough; those with great power and their hearts will be filled with desires. Dongfang Bubai is in a high position, powerful and powerful, but he also has a desire for power and has two minds about doing whatever he wants. Ren Wo Xing, who secretly knew in his heart, handed over Dongfang Bubai's "Sunflower Book", which destined Dongfang Bubai's future distortion of human nature, his perverse behavior, and the tragedy of Dongfang Bubai's destruction.
Dongfang Bubai finally lost to himself.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for readers to like this kind of villain boss who stands on the opposite side of the protagonist. After all, he is also a sworn enemy of the father of the popular female director Yingying, and letting people go is certainly not likeable. The hero, but the other party still admires Linghu Chong, which makes the readers closer to Ren Woxing, and naturally hates Dongfang Bubai even more.
In fact, since Dongfang Bubai became more and more like a woman, he was completely in purdah and no longer cared about the affairs of the world. He and Linghu Chong had no enmity at all. It was just because he was the "cult leader" that he became It is an evil symbol, so it must be eliminated. This is in line with the positive energy of "justice destroys evil, and justice will prevail".
However, compared to Jin Yongzhong’s image of the “Invincible East”, Xu Qingruo still likes the “Invincible East” played by Brigitte Lin in the movie “The Swordsman: The Invincible”. The director of this film, Tsui Hark, is a magician. , he turned the "dead demon" that everyone hated in Jin Yong's works into a "heartthrob" that everyone loved.
This film should be regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts. In it, Dongfang Bubai, played by Brigitte Lin, has both male and female genders, as well as two extremes of violence and spirituality. He (she) is ambitious, scheming, cruel and vicious, but at the same time tender, spiritually wise, and willing to give up kingship, dominance, and even life for love. For such an extremely complex and contradictory character, who else can perform it so stunningly except the magnificent Brigitte Lin?
Anyway, Xu Qingru prefers the role of Dongfang Invincible in this movie, and she also feels that if Dongfang Invincible has some intersection with Linghu Chong, it will make the whole work more interesting, so she completely refers to the battle at Heimu Cliff. movie.
This scene shocked all Swordsman fans, and the bad thing about Xu Qingru is that before, she made Dongfang Bubai very mysterious, always letting readers guess the identity of the other party, and the truth was not revealed until the last moment!
In fact, in Xu Qingru's comics, when Dongfang Bubai appeared in a bright red dress, she conquered many readers with her extremely good looks, and then she recited the very classic poem - The Storm of the World Out of my generation, as soon as I enter the world, time rushes me. The emperor's hegemony was filled with laughter and laughter, which was beyond the ordinary drunkenness of the world.
This poem was also widely circulated because of the comic "Swordsman". It once again proved Xu Qingru's poetry skills, and Dongfang Bubai, who recited this poem, naturally became a male (female) in the minds of many people. )god……
In Xu Qingru's comics, Dongfang Bubai is not a hateful person. The act of killing the child Baixiong was directly omitted by her. It is a typical beautification of this character due to personal preferences. However, the comics were originally only a second adaptation. She did it for To make the characters more likable, this is what I chose to do.
This comic version of Dongfang Bubai is also full of domineering, but the person she falls in love with is no longer Yang Lianting, but Linghu Chong.
Readers are always very tolerant of characters who are devoted to the protagonist. Even the attribute of "murderer" can be regarded as cute, let alone the androgynous demon sect leader of Dongfang Invincible.
However, the ending of the character Dongfang Bubai made many die-hard Xu Qingru fans almost want to send her blades again!
The ending is still based on Tsui Hark’s movie version——
During the battle at Heimuya, Dongfang Bubai fired several shots. Seeing that Linghu Chong's life was hanging by a thread, but she was so quick to kill without batting an eyelid, she was confused. She hurriedly withdrew her killing move, but Linghu Chong took the opportunity to stab her in the right chest with his sword. Although the sword missed the vital point, it still stabbed Dongfang Bubai's heart with blood. At this time, Dongfang Bubai was full of resentment. He was no longer a tyrannical man who was dominating the world. He was clearly a pitiful woman hurt by love. The blood spurting out from the chest symbolizes the collapse of the emotional defense line...
Dongfang Bubai fell into the abyss. The blood-soaked red robe, the flowing long hair, the blurred eyes, the tearful smile, and the domineering saying "I have everything at my fingertips, the country and the people" will remain in the hearts of every comic fan for a long time!
She was so affectionate that she gave up her royal position and picturesque country for the sake of love. I will fight for a lifetime and enjoy you for one day!
She failed in the battle, but she remained undefeated in the heart-to-heart love.
The moment she fell into the cliff, Linghu Chong jumped down and hugged her. She smiled. She knew that she would occupy her lover's heart forever. From now on, no matter whether he climbed high to drink or played the harp to the moon, he would never forget her.
So, what's the point of losing?
There are no regrets in this life. So she used all her strength to send her lover back to the cliff, leaving him the hope of life and the despair of death to herself.
In Jin Yong's story, Dongfang Bubai was defeated by himself. He was really defeated.
But in the comics adapted by Xu Qingru, Dongfang Bubai's failure is an unparalleled failure. Because her failure is unparalleled, she remains undefeated.
This character is not only unforgettable for the protagonist Linghu Chong, but also unforgettable for all readers. Some readers even believe that Dongfang Bubai is the number one heroine of this comic, even though she is a androgynous person.
This magically modified version of "The Swordsman", like the movie on Earth, created the character of Dongfang Bubai.
However, in the earth world, it is said that Tsui Hark's magic modification made Jin Yong furious, but this is better than directly setting her as an "oriental girl" in the original version...
Fortunately, Jin Yong does not exist in this world, so of course Xu Qingru changed it happily. Just like the previous movie "The Condor", she even changed the "Dragon Knight plot" directly, just to make the little dragon girl more flawless!
