Where can I find the version of East Evil and West Poison played by Wang Zuxian, I really want to se

They have all been deleted by director Wong Kar-wai, and they are no longer visible. Originally, Wang Zuxian was still a protagonist in it, but unfortunately, now it has been cut.

The mystery of Wang Zuxian:

In 1992, when Wang Zuxian was filming the poster of "East Evil and West Poison", she was interviewed by Korean TV, she said: "I usually don't take on a lot of group dramas, I completely trust the director of this drama, so I will take it." ”

At that time, she must not have expected Wong Kar-wai and Tan Jiaming that they would cut her so badly.

Regarding Wang Zuxian's appearance in the film "East Evil and West Poison", there are two versions of the clip.

The popular version (such as ***), appeared at the end of the film, there is a set of sharp combination shots, Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Lin Qingxia, Leung Jiahui and others have appeared in close-ups one after another, and Wang Zuxian appeared in less than two seconds! Facing Leung Ka Fai, just one side.

As for why Wang Zuxian was not completely cut off at the beginning, there are two reasons:

1, these clips of Wang Zuxian are suitable for Wong Kar-wai to express the characters in the movie;

2, when Wong Kar-wai was selling films, he had already written Wang Zuxian's name on it, and he couldn't explain it to Taiwanese filmmakers without her. This is similar to why there is Tony Leung in "The True Story of A Fei".

Originally, Wang Zuxian had a lot of scenes in "East Evil and West Poison", but unfortunately, they are all gone. There is no Wang Zuxian in the upcoming "East Evil and West Poison: Ultimate Edition". Reference: Confidential file of "East Evil and West Poison".

ActuallyWang Zuxian's few plays are because Zu Xian went later"East Becomes West".。Because at that time we shoot first"East Evil and West Poison"., all of a sudden, I feel like I'm going to celebrate the New Year, so I have to use "East Becomes West" to catch up with this New Year's file.

So I hurried a group of people to shoot "East Becomes West", and the main force went to "East Becomes West". After the filming of "East Becomes West", Zu Xian's schedule will arrive, so there are very few scenes in Zu Xian here.

and other relevant cultural market fields to enforce the law and supervise the management of pants to prevent minors from entering the business premises in violation of regulations.

Because there were more evil and poisonous scenes at the beginning, Wong Kar-wai later felt that it was better to use a calmer expression and deleted it. Wang Zai was originally playing a fight scene similar to an assassin for about 3 minutes, but it was deleted.

Because the contract expired, the whole plot could not be filmed, so it was simply deleted.

In "East Becomes West", Wang Zuxian played the role of Huang Yaoshi's younger sister, but in "East Evil and West Poison", Wang Zuxian only has a side face. It is said that Wang Sen Suisui Zuxian also had a lot of scenes at that time, but due to the long filming cycle of "East Evil and West Poison", Wang Zuxian's contract expired during the filming, so he left halfway. In desperation, Wong Kar-wai could only delete the previous scenes of Wang Zuxian.

The relationship between "East Becomes West" and "East Evil and West Poison".

In September 1992, Wong Kar-wai started filming "East Evil and West Poison", but there was no progress after a few months of filming. Wong Kar-wai wanted to stop and reimagine the story of "East Evil and West Poison", but investors disagreed. In order to gain time and stabilize costs, the investor decided to let producer Liu Zhenwei use the original cast to direct and shoot a comedy work, which is "East Becomes West".

East Becomes West made some adaptations of the script of "East Evil and West Poison", and after several months of simple production, it was released on February 5, 1993. After the release of "East Sparrow", it achieved a box office result of 22 million Hong Kong dollars, which not only stabilized the mood of investors, but also bought Wong Kar-wai time to rethink. After the release of "East Becomes West", Wong Kar-wai realized some shortcomings in the original script and made large-scale adjustments to the character settings.

At first, the roles of Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Leung Ka-fai, and Jacky Cheung were the same as in "East Becomes West", respectively "East Evil", "West Poison", "Southern Emperor", and "Northern Beggar".

However, after the release of "East Becomes West", Wong Kar-wai felt that it would not give the audience too many surprises to let Leslie Cheung play the role of "East Evil", so he asked Leslie Cheung to play the role of "West Poison" with an inferior personality and did not want to be harmed. And Tony Leung changed from "Western Poison" to "Blind Samurai", and Leung Jiahui took over the role of "Eastern Evil". Only Jacky Cheung's "Hong Qi" has not changed.
