Although director Wang Jing once made suggestions on Wong Kar-wai's "time-limited" work method, this time he posted on his personal Weibo expressing his envy for Wong Kar-wai, "I know that it is not easy for him to shoot during the epidemic, and I am worried about you." To this day, it is wonderful, dazzling, and the actors are more brilliant than the other."
Now Wang Jing is about to remake the 1992 "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated", starring the star girl Zhang Yuqi as the East Undefeated, as for the role of Ling Hu Chong, Huang Xiyan, who played Chen Xuanfeng in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Xuan Lu played Ren Yingying, but netizens are not very optimistic about Wang Jing, because this is not the first time he has adapted Jin Yong's works, he has directed two "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and the Douban score is only 36 points, and now the remake of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has caused a lot of discussion.
In 1992, "The Undefeated East of Smiling Proud Jianghu" was performed by Lin Qingxia, plus Jet Li, Guan Zhilin, and Li Jiaxin, who were popular that year, are still classics in the hearts of many audiences.
