Nội dung phim

Production on kungfu comedy 《刀客外传》 Legend of Blademaster (tentative),  directed by Yuan Hong Bing, starring Shi Xiao Long, He Jie and Law Kar  Ying, Leung Kar Yan, Gao Jun, has just begun in Yinchuan, Ningxia. Shi  Xiao Long (who is more commonly known as Ashton Chen these days) is  taking on the leading role as a braggart blademaster with lame skills,  but boasts of his top-notch martial arts skills and even call himself  Beggar Su. Legend of Blademaster is slated for release this October.

  
Shi Xiao Long says the he's having some pressure playing a blademaster,  "In the past, the pugilists I play either fight with swords or  barehanded, this is the first time I'm using a sabre, it's quite a  challenge. When wielding a sword, I would be after the more sublime  feel. As for broadsword, the movements would be broader, just like the  open desert. And I'm also taking the opportunity to slim down under such  hot weather and harsh conditions here."
  


  
In the film Legend of Blademaster, a village is often troubled by a  group of bandits on horseback, and the villagers send the teacher Fan  Jian (Law Kar Ying) to the city to hire swordsmen to protect the  village, but unfortunately, due to insufficient funds, he gets snubbed  everywhere, failing to hire any professional swordsman. By chance, he  runs into a braggart Beggar Su (Shi Xiao Long), who somehow becomes Fan  Jian's lifeline by a twist of fate. Beside the braggart are two other  unreliable blademasters who are hired as well...
