Huang Yaoshi’s beloved wife Feng Heng is said to be a charming and intelligent woman. What is the story between them?
What did the young Ouyang Feng, Hong Qi, Master Yideng and others look like when they first entered the world?
During the legendary first Huashan Sword Forum, how did Wang Chongyang fight against the heroes and obtain the Nine Yin Manual?
The stories hidden in Jin Yong's novels have been waiting to be discovered and continued by people who are destined to do so, and this also gives screenwriters and directors ample room for originality.
Popular supporting characters in the past have suddenly become protagonists. How to tell their stories well remains to be examined by the audience and Jin Yong fans. Since

's challenge to the talented and eccentric Huang Laoxie this time must be quite interesting.
Gao Weiguang plays Ouyang Feng. His most well-known role is the Donghua Emperor in the "Three Lives Three Worlds" series. His tall image and handsome appearance are quite fairy-like.
Now let him play the role of the old poisonous guy. Then there will be people exclaiming what the years have done to the "Emperor" to be destroyed into the bad old man he later became.
Chen Duling plays Feng Heng. What kind of beauty and talent can give birth to Huang Rong?
As a costume drama beauty, her appearance has been tested in many costume dramas. She played Qiao Wanyan in the popular martial arts drama "Lotus Tower" last year. Her image and acting skills were unanimously recognized by the audience.
In reality, she is still the school beauty of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In 2013, she topped the list of college goddesses, beating out Tsinghua University beauty Zhang Zetian.

Ming Dao plays Hong Qigong, he is the most handsome in history.
As a regular actor in idol dramas and domineering presidents in the past, it can only be said that the casting director was quite bold in choosing him to play the role of the beggar leader.
Not only did the young Hong Qi have a brotherly relationship with the emperor, there was also a sadomasochistic love triangle between them, and he said that this was not a drama about an idol boss?
Hanikezi plays Yihuo, which is a purely original character.
She previously played the role of Lotus Elite Lotus in the costume fantasy movie "Red Fox Scholar". This time her appearance caused a break between the two big figures of the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar.
I can only say that the task is heavy, please do your best, girl.
03, "Huashan Sword", directed by Cao Dun, starring Yu Jinwei and above.
Cao Dun's masterpiece is "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". His previous costume fantasy masterpiece "Jiuzhou. The Shepherd of the Clouds on the Sea" was unfortunately unfinished.
His upcoming movie "Dunhuang Heroes" has an epic quality from the trailer, and his new work adapted from Ma Boyong's best-seller "Chang'an Lychees" is also worth looking forward to.

Meng Ziyi plays Mei Chaofeng. This character was the first to become popular in this drama.
The crazy devil she plays makes people love and hate her. The character who is crazy about love and tragic has been developed through many years of iteration in film and television dramas.
is no longer the stereotypical bad woman in TVB dramas in the past. Now a popular actress is performing again, which is worth looking forward to.
He Yu plays Chen Xuanfeng, a good senior brother who sacrifices everything for love and a lonely ghost who died in the desert.
There has never been a drama that took this infatuated man as the protagonist of the story. If he plays it well, it will be a good story.
At the end of the story, the crazy man and resentful woman who fled far into the desert will meet their lifelong enemies, the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, and the protagonist of the next story, Guo Jing.

Director Yang Lei, whose representative works are "Red" and "三级",
Although he has also directed many bad movies, but in order to focus on his recent performance, the 2023 science fiction drama "The Three-Body Problem" is indeed a bonus .

Bao Shang'en plays Huang Rong, which is destined to be the most difficult role to challenge in the Condor Shooting drama. Even Zhou Xun and Zhu Yin were criticized because they had Weng Meiling before them.
Wang Hongyi plays Yang Kang, who has played important roles in costume dramas such as "A Letter to the Queen" and "Saurus Love". At only 25 years old, he currently has many dramas to be broadcast, and his future is unlimited.
Huang Yi plays Mu Nianci. She has appeared in many hit dramas, including glimpses in "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" and "Liu Li". This role is expected to become her career masterpiece.
Summary
Looking at this "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", it may actually be called "The Prequel of the Condor" which may be more in line with the theme of the story.
Guo Jing, who was originally the absolute protagonist, was robbed of a lot of scenes by his predecessors.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was previously produced by TVB's Huang Rihua and Ong Meiling, and later by Zhang Chilin and Zhu Yin. There was also a mainland version by Li Yapeng and Hu Ge.
Even if you have not read the novel, you are already familiar with the story. From this point of view, copying the original work will indeed make the story lack of new ideas.
It has been more than 60 years since the novel was written. In the eyes of the public, the classic characters in the novel have long been familiar, and the distinction between protagonists and supporting characters has been blurred. The key is to tell the story well while standing up for the characters.
It is a good thing to dare to innovate on the basis of Jin Yong's novels. The main creator also promised that "the original story will maintain the charm of Jin Yong's martial arts."
It’s too early to comment on this drama, let’s wait and see. What do you think of this? (Written by Mu Weizhou)
