Editor's note: This is a nostalgic theater.
"From now on, you are only allowed to love me one. If you want to spoil me, don't lie to me. You must do everything you promised me. You must be sincere in every word you say to me. Don't bully me and scold me. Believe me. If someone bullies me, you have to come out to help me as soon as possible. If I am happy, you have to accompany me to be happy. If I am unhappy, you have to make me happy. Always think that I am the most beautiful, and you will see me in your dreams. , in your heart there is only me."
In 2002, "Little Pony" director Ma Weihao put "The Lion's Roar in the River East" on the big screen for the first time. Young men and women "compete to bend their waists".
Jade girl + black-faced niche, they are serious when they play humor at their peak
At that time, Cecilia Cheung had starred in "The King of Comedy" and "Star Wish", and was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards. And Gu Tianle is already a black and beautiful male. After filming the last TV series "Looking for Qin Ji" on TVB, he went out of the circle as "Xiang Shaolong". He has accumulated two or three film works, and he is continuing to enter the film road.
This work belongs to the pinnacle of their appearance. The two are serious about "humor" in the film, play tricks and show cuteness, and are omnipotent. Liu Yue'e, played by Cecilia Cheung, continues the characteristics of Liu Piaopiao in "The King of Comedy" who continue to dare to love and hate. Chen Jichang, played by Gu Tianle, also has Xiang Shaolong's romantic and affectionate shadow in "Looking for Qin Ji".
Cecilia Cheung and Louis Koo at their peak
In "The Lion's Roar in the East of the River", although Liu Yue'e is a charming and charming beauty, no one dares to marry her. It's not that I don't want to marry, I really don't dare to marry! After all, with her hard fists and ill-tempered, one person can sweep a thousand troops, and in minutes, she will clear up the blind date and bodyguard squad who are trying to marry her home. My brother wanted to find a man who could "cure" her, and forced the blind date to put a knife on his neck to act, but it didn't help.
On the other hand, the handsome scholar Chen Jichang is also a "leftover man". In the "If You Are the One" arranged by Su Dongpo, he met five beauties, but was dismissed as "prodigal sons" and gained nothing. At Su Dongpo's concert, he shivered and stood on the stage with his qin in his arms. He could only bite the bullet and sing "Come on, I'm a piece of mango, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit".
Gu Tianle sings humorous
It was just these two people, after looking at each other, it was a flash of lightning. In fact, Liu Yue'e doesn't need to be "subdued" at all, as long as she has Chen Jichang's mango song, she can consciously transform into a star-eyed little fan girl.
Playing humorous, this is serious about the golden boy and girl on screen.
The barbaric path is extreme, it turns out that the Hedong Lion is the normal state of true love
In 2001, the Korean film "My Sassy Girl" directed by Kwok Jae-yong became a sensation and set off a "savage" trend, and "The Roar of Hedong Lion" followed closely in 2002, presenting a "Hedong Lion" style of savage true love.

Liu Yue'e is not the legendary Queen of the Sea, and she will not learn to let go of her temper and pride if she does not know how to kill males and how to control males. Therefore, her love for Chen Jichang always seems very direct and clumsy, and always carries her own "savage" atmosphere - first fighting with Su Dongpo's family, and then with the women of Yihongyuan. In the end, he had to fight with the emperor who pretended to be a rabbit spirit to seduce Chen Jichang and the emperor who decided to marry him again.
If we replace ourselves in this process, even if it is a Leo with infinite energy, it is estimated that it will be exhausted long ago. After all, in a relationship, if one party needs to make such continuous efforts, it shows that the other person's natural romantic love and freedom are not firm enough. This is the most important reason why this relationship seems to be difficult.
In the story, Liu Yue'e watched the person she loved in her heart admit to throwing herself into the arms of others, and acquiesced to the emperor's plan to let him take a concubine, and did not give in. With a roar of Hedong lion, she chose to drink the water of forgetfulness, and left alone in the eyes of everyone, completely forgetting Chen Jichang. The classic fairy weeping on the screen made countless people feel pained.
Because everyone saw the love for Chen Jichang in her tears. Under the barbaric appearance, Liu Yue'e's pursuit of "one couple for a lifetime" is a pure vow of true love.
In the romance film market dominated by female audiences, is "The Lion's Roar in the East" still playing well?
In general, in this movie, Liu Yue'e's daring to love and hate will make female audiences very "cool". Moreover, Koo Tianle, who is at the peak of his appearance, even though he plays a scholar, the unstoppable hormones will still inspire young girls. However, from the perspective of the story path, "The Lion's Roar in the East" is still a love movie prepared for a wider male audience. In this type of story, there will always be an infatuated goddess who is as deep as the sea and gives selflessly and waits hard.
The love scene in the film is wonderful and touching
Looking at the present, times have changed, and the market for romance films has also changed. Romance movies that appear in the audience's field of vision are more prepared for female audiences. People who "pay" and "keep hard" on the screen have become more men, and a heartless man is no longer so easily forgiven.
In the love movie viewing market, which is dominated by female audiences, can the love of "The Lion's Roar in the East" still play well?
The answer is to play around. In all kinds of "big heroine dramas" that are popular today, the heroine is usually beautiful and strong, relying on her own wisdom to survive, and she is not soft-hearted when tearing up the enemy. Perhaps, this is a new style that has evolved from the "sassy girlfriend" model.
Of course, no matter what the style looks like, the audience watching romantic films will always pay the most attention to the "sense of substitution" - during the viewing process, can you empathize with the emotional points and emotional points, and hit the bottom of your heart? The story doesn't have to be ups and downs, it's fascinating. As long as it is sincere enough, it can reap the same resonance from audiences of different eras.
Sincerity is the best trump card that never goes out of style in romance films.
