Did you find that the protagonist of the TV series and the movie version of Fengyun is the same person?

In 2002, Chiu Man-Cheuk, Peter Ho, Angel, Hong Tao and others starred in the costume fantasy martial arts TV series "The Wind and Cloud Unify the World", which was particularly sought after in that year. Almost every character in it has become a classic. Even though some actors are not stunning in appearance and some characters are very eye-catching, it is undeniable that this TV series has become one of the classics of many post-80s generations.

When I was a child, I didn't know that the actor who played the hero was actually a Japanese named Sonny Chiba. There are so many actors in China, why did the director choose a Japanese actor who doesn't know the language to play the hero? And the performance is so imposing.

(Movie version of Fengyun)

In fact, the reason is very simple. As early as 1998, Sonny Chiba, who was already very famous in Japan, came to China for development and was invited to participate in the film version of Fengyun starring Ekin Cheng, Aaron Kwok, Shu Qi and Kristy Yang, and played the leading role in the film. Although the response of this film was not as good as that of later TV series, the leading actor played by Sonny Chiba was shortlisted for the 18 Hong Kong Film Awards as the best leading actor.

So, four years later, the TV version started shooting. Because the hero played by Sonny Chiba is deeply rooted in people's hearts, the hero in the TV series Fengyun immediately thought of Sonny Chiba.

Meanwhile, fans who have seen the comic version of Fengyun should find that the hero played by Sonny Chiba is too close to the hero in the comic. Some people even think that Sonny Chiba was born for heroes. After Sonny Chiba played the leading role, it is estimated that no actor can perform the leading role's domineering again.

Why did Fengyun choose a Japanese to play the leading role? In fact, the reason is as simple as that. Maybe Sonny Chiba is predestined friends with the hero.
