But compared to the classics, these new dramas always feel less exciting, and the audience is still eagerly waiting for a ruthless drama that can revitalize martial arts dramas.
No, it’s time to catch up!

Young men fight with swords in Jianghu Road, the brand new story is so surprising
As can be seen from the title of the drama, this drama tells the story of the martial arts world written by Mr. Jin Yong.
The drama mainly consists of 5 chapters: "Iron-Blooded Heart", "Evil in the East", "Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar", "Huashan Sword" and "Nine Yin Manual". The current broadcast is the entire drama. The core of the first chapter - "Iron-Blooded Heart".
"Iron-Blooded Heart" mainly takes Guo Jing (played by Shi Sha), Huang Rong (played by Bao Shang'en), Yang Kang (played by Wang Hongyi), and Mu Nianci (Huang Yi) as the main perspectives and tells the story of four young people. The love, hatred and national justice between them.
To be honest, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been adapted in too many versions. The first thought when seeing the new drama is: Can it work?
And as the plot begins, I feel that this new work seems a bit interesting.
The story opens in a desert with wild sand and the sun blocking out the sky. Young Guo Jing (played by Gong Juerui) is surrounded by a group of people and bullied, but at a young age he shows his unyielding pride.
Just when Guo Jing was knocked to the ground, a turning point occurred.
In the desert, seven knights came against the wind and sand. After identifying themselves with the dagger, the seven knights directly stated that they wanted to teach Guo Jing martial arts so that he could avenge his father.
Guo Jing didn't hesitate much and knelt down to worship him and learn martial arts from his master.
I didn’t expect that the director was really bold and actually brought the apprenticeship part directly to the front. The pace was so fast and there were no unnecessary shots. In the blink of an eye, Guo Jing grew up.
Because of his dull talent, Guo Jing put in a lot of effort in practicing martial arts. He got up early and stayed late at night. After hearing the comments from his masters that he was not suitable for martial arts training, he went out in the middle of the night to practice more frequently.
It was on this day that he met Quanzhen Taoist Priest Ma Yu (played by Wang Jiusheng).
After being guided by the Taoist priest, Guo Jing's internal skills improved by leaps and bounds, and because of his rapid progress, he was suspected by his masters of practicing heresy.
When the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan discovered traces of Mei Chaofeng ( Meng Ziyi ) nearby.
even mistakenly thought that Guo Jing had learned Mei Chaofeng's kung fu and almost eliminated him from the family.
Fortunately, the misunderstanding was finally resolved. After Mei Chaofeng was seriously injured, the Jiangnan appointment was just around the corner. The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan decided to pursue the injured Mei Chaofeng and let Guo Jing go to the appointment by himself.
Audiences who have read the original work will also understand the subsequent story.
Meet Huang Rong, fight against Yang Kang, compete in martial arts to recruit relatives, and suck snake blood. Famous scenes come one after another, leaving people overwhelmed.
It can be said that the adaptation of " Jin Yong's Martial Arts World " refines the classic plot, speeds up the plot rhythm, uses interludes to explain the pre-plot clearly, and the retrospective narrative technique has a certain degree of novelty.
Moreover, the most surprising thing about the show is that there are no pretensions, the martial arts scenes are "real guns and live ammunition", the fists and kicks are full of power, and there are no fake slow motions. It is so enjoyable to watch.
The young actors are so pleasantly surprised, and the powerful ones are so looking forward to it
The casting of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" can be said to be quite bold. Instead of using top-notch actors to build momentum, some less popular actors were hired to take the lead. However, these actors' The strength is really not bad.
is the first, this sand.
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Guo Jing is the soul character throughout the play. The most recognized one in the hearts of the audience is Huang Rihua, the actor in the 83 version, who vividly played the character's stupidity and uprightness.
In the new drama "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", although Guo Jing played by Xisha does not have the ability to challenge the classics, he looks unique.
Under the rustic dress, Guo Jing's eyes are full of clear stupidity, his smile is silly, and the sense of honesty from the inside out makes the character quite full.
When he was almost swallowed by the giant snake, Guo Jing lost control of his expression. He opened his mouth in shock and was so frightened that he was overwhelmed by the performance. It was so immersive.
From the current point of view, this character has been perfectly established, the character's personality is well grasped, and the acting skills are good.
is second, Bao Shangen.
Huang Rong, the "little witch" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is deeply loved by readers, and Weng Meiling, who played Huang Rong in the 1983 version, is as bright as Bai Yueguang in the hearts of the audience.
In the new drama "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", although Huang Rong played by Bao Shang'en is not as good as a classic, his acting skills are remarkable overall. When
appeared on the stage, Huang Rong was dressed in rags, her face was smeared in black, and she looked carefree and carefree. Bao Shang En did not have any idol baggage in the drama. With a smile, Huang Rong's inspiration came to her.
When Huang Rong received Guo Jing's concern and kindness, her eyes were red and full of emotion. She recalled her life experience and couldn't help but feel sad.
Bao Shangen grasped the delicate emotions of the characters in place. Whether he is agile and jumping, or calm and alert, he portrays the character's personality characteristics vividly, and his acting skills are surprising.
ranks third, Wang Hongyi.
Yang Kang, played by Wang Hongyi in the new drama "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", looks full of evil. When
first appeared, Yang Kang looked at Mu Nianci with a frivolous expression, his eyes full of interest, and he perfectly portrayed the misbehaving little prince.
When Yang Kang deceived the Mu family father and daughter, Yang Kang's face was full of sincerity, his eyes were sincere, and he looked so sincere that it was hard to tell whether it was true or false.
It seems that Wang Hongyi is going to shine this time.
The fourth place is Mencius.
If we want to say that the most surprising actor in the new drama "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is none other than Meng Ziyi.
The character Mei Chaofeng she plays is vicious and vicious in her moves. She has disheveled hair and an expressionless face. She looks like a truly possessed witch, which is really scary.
Because Mei Chaofeng's eyes were blinded, when she heard a noise, her eyes were glazed over and she turned her head to listen to the source of the sound.
However, in the first few episodes of the story, Meng Ziyi did not play much. I hope that in the subsequent plots, she can bring more exciting performances.
In addition to the surprising characters who have already appeared, the show also has many talented actors waiting to appear, which are full of expectations.
For example, plays Zhou Yiwei , who plays the role of Dongxie Huang Yaoshi. Just from the stills, you can see that he has strong inner strength and the attitude of an accomplished person. I wonder what kind of surprises will be waiting for the audience in the feature film.
and Mingdao plays the role of Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggar Clan. In the trailer, he competes with Guo Jing. Looking at the other's "horrible" performance, one glance at the other's arrogant little appearance is really interesting.
In addition, Wang Jinsong, Chen Duling, , Gao Weiguang, Peter Ho and other powerful actors will all appear in "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" one after another. I am really looking forward to it.
Conclusion
As an "old" viewer who has revisited the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", before watching "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", I rejected it in my heart, because as we all know, classics are difficult to surpass.
Moreover, in recent years, domestic costume dramas have had too many pretense, and the embroidered fists and legs are all shown in slow motion to show the actors' high-powered fights. After watching too many of them, you naturally lose hope.
However, "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" gave me a big surprise. As a remake of
, the director did not limit his lens and narrative techniques to the reproduction of classic dramas, but innovatively added his own ideas to present the story to the audience from a new perspective.
Moreover, the actors' fighting scenes in the play are also full of surprises. The moves are all punch-to-flesh, and there is no slow motion or "magic circle of love" that pulls the hips. The sharp movements look like those of a practicing martial artist.
It can be said that the drama "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is definitely worth watching.
