A core main story and four innovative character chapters.
is adapted from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but with innovative and expanded plots, "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is launched. As for this Jin Yong drama, which starts the whole story with "iron-blooded loyalty", the current perception can only be said to be "restored, no surprises".
The series is very fast-paced. It starts with the prologue. In less than 4 minutes, it tells the story of Guo Jing's apprenticeship, the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan fighting against the Black Wind and the Two Evils, and the teaching of skills in the desert. It also fast-forwards Guo Jing from childhood to adulthood. .
After that, three more episodes were used to present classic scenes such as Ma Yu passing on his art, joining forces to fight Mei Chaofeng, Guo Jing meeting Huang Rong, Mu Nianci's marriage proposal, and breaking into the palace at night. The memories are also used to intersperse the pasts of Yang Tiexin, Guo Xiaotian and Qiu Chuji, as well as the massacre in Niujia Village on a snowy night.
By the end of the third episode, the plot has advanced to the point where Huang Rong outsmarts Ouyang Ke.
Nowadays, many dramas rely on pacing to slow down the running time. The fast narrative rhythm of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is worthy of praise.
Moreover, many details are restored enough.
For example, the scene where Guo Jing first meets Huang Rong is almost based on the description in the original work. Huang Rong made things difficult for the store clerk by ordering food, and at the same time further tested Guo Jing. After the meal, Guo Jing generously presented gifts of fur and gold, and even a bloody BMW.
When Mu Nianci competed in martial arts to recruit a bride, she was "red in red shirt and crimson skirt" as mentioned in the original work; Huang Rong reappeared after changing into women's clothes and floated over in a small boat, her white clothes as bright as snow; Guo Jing fought with a big snake in the pharmacy, and for Qiu Sheng ferociously sucked up all the snake's blood; when Bao Xiruo arrived in a sedan chair, he only made a sound but did not show his face.
However, judging from the updated episodes, even if this drama has the above advantages, it is difficult to say that this adaptation is successful.
From the perspective of painting style, although the composition and camerawork of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is remarkable, it has both oriental classical beauty and martial arts charm.
But this is yellow, like a filter that has been hit by a sandstorm, but I really can’t understand it.
The casting of characters as the "soul" is also a bit off the mark.
plays the role of Guo Jing. Although he looks handsome, the alien look between his eyebrows first distances him from the character. Moreover, it also lacks the youthful feeling that the characters should have.
After all, Guo Jing was only eighteen years old at this time.
However, leaving aside the appearance and performance, Xisha's performance still has merits. It captures Guo Jing's "honest and honest" characteristics, and his eyes also have the clarity that the character needs.
To sum it up in one sentence, he used his acting skills to get closer to the characters.
Huang Rong, played by Bao Shangen, has good times and bad times. When
appeared as a little beggar, his clothes were in good tatters and his face was smeared with dust. But on the dirty face, there are long and curly eyelashes that have been modified, which is so eye-catching that it cannot be ignored.
’s management of facial features is also unstable. When
is in good condition, it can be described as delicate and beautiful, which is also in line with the image and temperament of Huang Rong in the minds of the audience.
But once the micro-expressions get out of control in the camera, either the face becomes "Internet famous" or the mouth becomes too obviously crooked. In the barrage, there are many complaints about her being "not smart enough", "not pretty", "eyeballs a bit swollen", and "pretending to be too cute".
Moreover, between her and this sand, the most important sense of cp is missing.
"Jing Rong" is not good, and the problems of Yang Kang and Mu Nianci are equally obvious.
Huang Yi’s Mu Nianci has good looks, but poor acting skills. At least in the scenes, the flexibility and strength of the characters are not seen. When being teased by Yang Kang, there are basically only two states. One is shame and anger with strong traces of performance, and the other is confusion that floats on the surface.
Wang Hongyi, who plays Yang Kang, has handsome and delicate facial features, but he doesn't look like the "excellent temperament" in the original work. He made the romantic character look greasy, and was criticized by netizens for being a high-ranking official from Ximen.
When two people competed, the overused waist-holding look reappeared. After the camera cuts to Mu Nianci, it cuts to Yang Kang, and then there's a double shot. Finally, it moved back to Yang Kang's face. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a "look at how handsome the actor I chose is" operation, which is so embarrassing that "the barrage goes silent".
The handsome young prince became a greasy prodigal, and Ouyang Ke, the young master of White Camel Mountain, was also speechless.
Let’s not talk about how far this full moon-shaped bun face is from the “handsome face” in the original work. Even the stubborn head that refuses to lower its head and the evil smile that overflows from the corner of his mouth are also different from the “heroic look”. "Forcing people and being free and unrestrained" have nothing to do with it.
There is also Bao Xiruo, who made Wanyan Honglie fall in love at first sight and worked hard to win her back. If he only looks like the one in the play, then the convincingness is really not enough - it is not that the actor is not good-looking, but that he does not match the beauty. character setting.
The last thing I can’t help but complain about is the special effects.
Within three episodes, the special effects of the Five-Mao Shenlong appeared three times, "upgrading" the martial arts into cultivators; when describing the origin of Wu Mu's suicide note, he used gold characters on the book.
Let’s just say, these are really unnecessary.
I don’t know how many people can insist on watching the whole drama even when the start is not promising. After all, this drama is 60 episodes long!
