Directed by Tsui Hark! Xiao Zhan's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is recommended for the 2023 key schedule

At the Huabiao Awards last night, the recommended films for the 2023 key schedule were announced. The Legend of the Condor Heroes starring Xiao Zhan was among them, which means that the film will be released this year.

The film is adapted from Jin Yong's novel, directed by Tsui Hark, and Huang Rong is played by Zhuang Dafei.

It tells the story of the Mongolian army led by Genghis Khan, who marched west to destroy the Jin Dynasty and wanted to go south to destroy the Song Dynasty. Masters from various martial arts schools in the Central Plains fought in the middle. The great chivalrous man, represented by Guo Jing (played by Xiao Zhan), gathered the strength of the Central Plains martial arts to defend Xiangyang for the sake of the country and the people.

In fact, there have been many rumors before that Tsui Hark will remake Jin Yong's martial arts novels, but most of the rumors were about "The Return of the Condor Heroes". Unexpectedly, Tsui Hark finally chose to start with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". One possibility is that this is to warm up for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" which was launched in 2017.

According to information, Tsui Hark is a well-known director who has brought glory to the golden age of Hong Kong martial arts films with films such as "Once Upon a Time in China", "Swordsman", "New Dragon Inn" and "The Legend of Zu".

His works in recent years include "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy 3D", "Detective Dee" series, "Changjin Lake", etc., and he has won the Hong Kong Film Awards, China Film Golden Rooster Awards, Huabiao Awards and other honors many times in his career.
