"Sword Butterfly": Innovation of the original work or thundering down the original work? --- Give me the picture library

The martial arts romance film "Butterfly Sword" is currently showing in theaters across the country. Many young audiences have mixed reviews about "Butterfly Sword". Some viewers say this is a very fashionable movie, while other opinions suggest that the film's adaptation from the original work is somewhat exaggerated and has lost its classic essence. In response to these issues, director Joe Ma recently responded to the media, saying that it was normal and all within expectations.

■ Is Charmaine Sheh far from being a noblewoman?

"Butterfly Sword" made a revolutionary change based on the Liang Zhu story. Some audiences pointed out that Charmaine Sheh's portrayal of Zhu Yingtai, whether in appearance or character traits, contrasts greatly with the noblewoman in the original work. In response, Director Ma said: "In fact, the characters in the original script were required to be very beautiful, but after seeing Charmaine Sheh, I thought her outgoing personality was great, and I also wanted there to be some light-hearted elements in the drama, so I specifically made changes to the script for her."

■ Does "Uncle Cao Tou" have a "jumping out of the scene" suspicion?

Harlem Yu's easygoing and humorous performance, as well as his unique Hong Kong accent, became the most successful comedic point in the film. Regarding the so-called "jumping out of the scene" theory online, Director Ma stated that such an issue does not exist, "The reason for the existence of 'Uncle Cao Tou' was to fully present the light-heartedness of the first half of the story. The role played by Harlem Yu precisely fulfilled this function."

■ Were Liang and Zhu buried alive?

The biggest controversy caused by "Butterfly Sword" was the ending where the two seemed to have been "buried alive." Director Ma explained: "In fact, we usually only have four choices for the ending of the story: both die, both live, the male protagonist dies first, or the female protagonist dies first. In the film, I tried hard to portray the sense of strength of Liang Zhongshan, so in the end, I decided to let Charmaine Sheh die first. Borrowing the Romeo and Juliet segment from Western literature was actually to make the film more touching." As for the "buried alive" theory, Director Ma did not agree, "In fact, such handling was just to show the tragic and regretful ending for the two."

■ Is "Butterfly Sword" only suitable for young girls?

After the release of "Butterfly Sword," the audience's reactions in the cinema could be described as polarized. Audiences born before the 1980s laughed continuously, thinking the film was just a comedy, and had nothing to do with "Liang Zhu." However, post-80s and post-90s audiences, especially female viewers, were moved to tears. This phenomenon aligns with what Joe Ma said, "tears in laughter." Director Ma seemed to have anticipated this early on, "In fact, this film was made for young girls. For older audiences, "Butterfly Sword" is difficult to understand and accept, and this is a normal reaction."
