When it comes to "Zorro", more people will think of the image of the knight played by Alain Delon. As one of the first overseas films introduced after the reform and opening up, this film caused a wave of "Zorro fever" in China after being translated. Although decades have passed, it is still talked about. In the 1970s and 1980s, when there was a lack of culture and information, the arrival of a new cultural image like Zorro was in line with people's aesthetics (how many boys once put on sheets, waved branches and iron rods to imitate Zorro's appearance at the base of walls, doors and windows ...the big "Z" is painted everywhere, the stickers on the desks, the topics between the girls, the films on the open-air curtains... all of them are Zorro movies starring Alain Delon), and it is also a reflection of the development and development of an era. Progress has a clear direction (Zorro saves the world, helps the poor and the poor, plays with the powerful, fights evil with a sense of justice, as well as his wisdom and shrewdness in dealing with the world, also in line with the values required by society; how should the ruler govern the country well? ?Where will the people's happy life go?...These inner meanings contained in the film also have a warning effect). The appearance of Zorro in the mainland not only conforms to the development of the times, but also is the inevitable result of the development of the times.
Due to Zorro's sudden landing, Alain Delon also became one of the most popular French actors of that era with his superb acting skills and handsome and threatening majesty. The reason why a classic has become a classic lies in its many remarkable points. Although with the progress of society and technology, it is still difficult to imitate and surpass, such as the shooting and processing of film footage. Most of them are closely filming the famous protagonists, ignoring the background details, and the shots in "Zorro" can be said to be comprehensive, taking into account both the primary and secondary, more with group performances to set off the leading role, and also pay attention to the joys and sorrows of the people, more grounded Another example is the fighting scene in the film, which embeds the protagonist in a specific environment, creating a different atmosphere, including Zorro’s wit and provocation to Sergeant Garcia in the slums, which won the people’s laughter and majesty. The real gun battle between Zorro and Colonel Werta in the church directly touches the hearts of the people. It is not difficult to think of many classic martial arts films, police and bandit films. For example, in Jackie Chan's early works, there are often specific fighting scenes such as ruins and streets. In addition, Alain Delon keeps trying to break through himself, and the deductive spirit of pursuing progress in strong contrast also has a reference effect on today's performing arts circle. Different environmental choices, different atmosphere shaping, and different mood transformations are all difficult to surpass today.
Of course, if a good film meets its Bole again, it will be the icing on the cake, and it will take it to the next level. The romance between Tong Zirong and Zorro is still commendable. When "Zorro" was introduced by the Shanghai translation factory, the translation director Sun Yufeng found that Zorro was a hoarse and low voice "tobacco and alcohol", but Zorro in the play was a handsome and unrestrained image, and the actor who was looking for a suitable voice was obviously not Best idea. After careful consideration, the director Chen Xuyi and the dubbing director finally decided to let Tong Zirong, who has a high and bright voice, play the role, and Tong Zirong lived up to expectations. In order to constantly polish and distinguish the roles, he once wore leather boots in the morning to experience Zorro's unrestrained sway, and in the afternoon he wore leather boots. Slippers, feel the laziness and cowardice of the Governor. Hiding oneself behind the brilliance of others, this simple creed, coupled with the wholehearted creation of the translation, finally achieved Zorro and Tong Zirong. On October 31, 1987, Alain Delon came to China for the first time. Tang Guoqiang, Fang Shu and other famous Chinese actors made a special trip to the Capital Airport to pick up the plane. In order to completely record the exchange activities between the Chinese and French film circles, Beijing TV and the then Chinese film distribution and projection company specially formed a film crew for the TV special film "Alain Delon in China" to shoot the whole process. And Alain Delong's activities in China can be described as rich and colorful. He not only visited the Forbidden City in Beijing, but also made a special trip to the Shanghai Film Studio to visit and exchange, and had a dinner and chat with Mr. Tong Kourong, which made a movie scene.
Until now, whenever people mention Zorro, they think of Teacher Tong Zirong one after another. It seems that Tong Zirong and Zorro have been unable to part with each other, and have merged into one.
