He is not only one of the most powerful characters in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but also attracts attention for his setting of changing "gender" in order to practice supreme martial arts.
In the movie "Undefeated in the East", director Tsui Hark changed the role of Undefeated in the East from a man to a woman, played by the famous actress Lin Qingxia, and gave the love between Dongfang Undefeated and Ling Hu Chong between men and women. This adaptation makes the movie a classic in the minds of the audience, and Lin Qingxia's Dongfang Undefeated has also become a classic character that cannot be surpassed. Even though Undefeated in the East has become a classic, there are still attempts to replicate and surpass this classic.
Among the hundreds of new domestic films that have been filed and approved in China recently, there is a film called "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" that has attracted people's attention. The film is written and directed by young director Luo Yiwei, and the plot tells the grievances between Ling Hu Chong and the undefeated leader of the Demon Sect.
Although this new version of "Undefeated in the East" has made a large adaptation of the original book and is also significantly different from Tsui Hark's film, it is more like an online movie, and it is difficult to replicate the classics. While paying attention to this new film, people are also beginning to care about who will play the two classic roles of Ling Hu Chong and Dongfang Undefeated.
Considering that Brigitte Lin and Jet Li are old and frail, it is unlikely that they will play these two roles again. Therefore, the cast of the new version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" is highly anticipated.
