When it comes to iconic characters in Chinese martial arts novels, Jin Yong can never be bypassed.
As one of the four great masters of Chinese martial arts novels, Mr. Jin Yong has created many classic works and weaved a magnificent martial arts world with words.
His novels have also been adapted into film and television works many times, setting off a Jin Yong martial arts craze on the screen.
To this day, Jin Yong's martial arts works are put on the screen every year. Regardless of the quality of the series, they always arouse heated discussions among the audience.
Another Jin Yong martial arts work "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is now available to everyone.
mentioned this work, it has a great background.
In order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Jin Yong's birth, the platform selected 5 classic works of Jin Yong and determined to create a new Jin Yong martial arts world. The
drama series is a season broadcast model. The first season has 60 episodes, focusing on the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Although Jin Yong's works have been remade many times, "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" still attracted great expectations and attention.
After watching the trailer of this drama, Qingshi wanted to say: If "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" wants to be a hit, there are three major pain points that it must face squarely.
. The stories of many remakes have been magically changed. Can the new version of the plot reassure people?
Now if you look at Jin Yong's film and television works, you will find that most of his early works have a good reputation, but it is the remakes that have a poor reputation now. The most important reason why
has such a phenomenon is the adaptation of the original work.
's early works were basically adapted into films according to the original work, but the current remake adapts or even magically changes the original work for innovation.
For example, in Yu Rongguang's " New Tianlong Babu ", there is a scene where Duan Yu was so excited to wet his pants when he saw the fairy sister.
"The Condor Heroes" starring Yan Kuan forcibly whitewashed Mei Chaofeng, and also caused ambiguous feelings between Huang Yaoshi and Mei Chaofeng.
Judging from the current information, the plot of the first season of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is also different from the original work.
The series has a total of five independent units. Except for the main story " Iron-Blooded Heart ", which is based on the original work of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The other four chapters are expansions or original works of the original plot.
"Eastern Evil and Western Poison" mainly tells the story of the pharmacist Dongxie Huang and the Western Poison Ouyang Feng.
begins when the two first entered the world when they were young, and extends the brotherhood between Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi, as well as their emotional love-hate entanglement.
The original work did not describe much about Huang Yaoshi's wife Feng Heng, but this drama highlights the story line between him and Feng Heng.
"Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar" mainly tells the story of Duan Zhixing and Hong Qigong.
The story of two young people who got to know each other and traveled around the world together, but got lost in the world in the process, and parted ways after they established their own footing.
also joined Hong Qigong’s cp Yihuo.
The unit "Huashan Sword" can be said to be a small test for the above characters after they have completed their growth.
The story begins with the competition for the "Nine Yin Manual", allowing Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, Hong Qigong, Duan Xingzhi and other masters to compete on the same stage.
"Nine Yin Manual" is mainly the story of Mei Chaofeng's capture and practice of "Nine Yin Manual".
The love and resentment entanglements between Mei Chaofeng, Chen Ruofeng and Huang Yaoshi will also be fully presented for the first time.
It can be seen from here that this drama makes bold innovations while maintaining the classic framework of the original work.
transforms popular supporting characters in the past into protagonists, while adding plots about the characters' youth and love.
not only makes the characters more fleshed out, but also allows the audience to reinterpret and understand these familiar martial arts heroes from a new perspective.
As for whether this adaptation is wonderful or magical, it all depends on the quality of the feature film.
At the same time, these five units are directed by different directors.A model like
undoubtedly brings more creativity and diversity to the series, but it also brings a huge challenge.
How to ensure the smoothness of the story and the unity of the picture style? After all, every director has a unique shooting style and narrative approach. How
blends their respective characteristics to form a complete and unified work is undoubtedly a big test for the production team.
2. There are many classic versions of the character Zhu Yu. Is the casting satisfactory?
In addition to the plot, the most attention-grabbing aspect of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is the casting. The main story of the first season of
is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and many classic characters have been created in previous film and television works.
This new version invites 17 actors including Zhou Yiwei , Gao Weiguang , Chen Duling , Peter Ho, Ming Dao, Zisha, Bao Shangen and so on.
But judging from the trailer, there are unexpected surprises and hard-to-explain casting choices.
Let’s first take a look at some actors with relatively high praise.
The first one is Gao Weiguang, who plays Ouyang Feng;
In the past, Gao Weiguang has mostly played decent characters, but this time he plays the villain Ouyang Feng, which is somewhat unexpected.
But judging from the stills and trailers, Ouyang Feng played by Gao Weiguang completely matches the description in the original novel.
He is tall, wearing white clothes, with a high nose and deep eyes. His face is brown, and he is full of heroic spirit. His eyes are like swords, very sharp, and his voice is like the sound of metal.
Coupled with his own exotic temperament, Gao Weiguang is indeed suitable for this role. Netizens called him "the most handsome Ouyang Feng in history."
The second place is Chen Duling, who plays Feng Heng.
In the original work, Feng Heng was the wife of Huang Yaoshi. She had a photographic memory. Later, she suffered from mental and physical exhaustion while dictating the "Nine Yin Manual" and died in childbirth.
This character was only briefly mentioned in the original work, without much mention, and he rarely appeared in film and television dramas.
Feng Heng has a lot of scenes in this chapter of "Ashes of Time", and we can see the complete story between her and Huang Yaoshi.
And Chen Duling's appearance is also very suitable, gentle and elegant, but also has a kind of toughness that is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
The third place is Meng Ziyi, who plays Mei Chaofeng. In the
17 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she played the role of "Mu Nianci", and this time she has to challenge the role of "Mei Chaofeng". The Mei Chaofeng we saw in
's previous works is an extremely ruthless character with a ghostly figure like a female ghost.
The most classic version of Mei Chaofeng is Yang Liping's version. She is beautiful yet ruthless, aloof and somewhat alienated. She can be called the most beautiful Mei Chaofeng.
This time, Meng Ziyi 's version is also eye-catching. He is dressed in black and has long hair, which is full of ruthlessness.
Moreover, people can see the contrast of this character. He is gentle in the early stage and becomes darker in the later stage. If he plays Meng Ziyi well, he will make a name for himself with this role.
Except for these three actors, the other casting choices in the play are more or less unsatisfactory.
Guo Jing, played by this sand, is the soul character throughout the play. In the original work of
, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a simple and honest personality, and is an upright "young man" who accepts death.
Everyone agrees that the most suitable casting is the 1983 version of Huang Rihua. From his image to his acting skills, he looks like a character straight out of a novel.
But this time, Zisha's appearance and temperament are more tough. He looks smart and not stupid at all.
also looks mature, not like a teenager at all.
There was a previous scene of Ji Sha riding a horse and wading through water. As soon as this video came out, he was once again ridiculed by the crowd.
Netizens said that the shape is so rough, it is not like "Guo Jing" but more like "Qiao Feng" from " Tian Long Ba Bu ".
Huang Rong, played by Bao Shangen, is Jin Yong’s most written female character, and is also one of the most popular and famous heroines in Jin Yong’s works.
Actresses such as Zhu Yin, Zhou Xun, Ariel Lin, etc. have all created wonderful Huang Rong, especially Weng Meiling's version is the most classic Qiao Huang Rong.
Compared with so many pearls and jade, Bao Shangen's Huang Rong is obviously inferior.
Take the scene where Huang Rong puts on women's clothing as an example. Bao Shangen's dressing up and acting are not amazing at all.
I wonder if Bao Shangen can make Huang Rong's character more quirky, evil and naughty in the feature film.
and Huang Yaoshi played by Zhou Yiwei.
Just by looking at the appearance, it is difficult to imagine that he is Dong Xi, the owner of Peach Blossom Island who is chic, suave, wild and both good and evil in the original work.
In this adaptation, Huang Yaoshi plays a heavy role, spanning multiple units such as "Ashes of Time", "The Sword of Huashan" and "Nine Yin Manual".
I wonder if Zhou Yiwei can use his acting skills to regain his image in the minds of the audience.
In addition, the main characters such as Yang Kang played by Wang Hongyi, Mu Nianci played by Huang Yi, Duan Zhixing played by Peter Ho and Hong Qigong played by Ming Dao are not eye-catching enough. Whether the specific state of
can be eye-catching depends on its later performance.
3. Fighting scenes in martial arts dramas are becoming more and more perfunctory. Can the martial arts scenes in this drama get rid of slow motion?
For a martial arts drama, the first thing that bears the brunt is "martial arts".
The expression of martial arts is martial arts dramas. It can be said that martial arts is the essence of martial arts dramas, from which vivid characters and passionate arenas are extended.
In the past, the fighting scenes in martial arts dramas were really exciting, but nowadays, the fighting scenes in martial arts dramas are becoming more and more perfunctory.
The fighting scenes all rely on special effects and posing to make up the numbers. Finally, the fighting scenes are all in slow motion.
The quality of martial arts dramas has declined, which has become one of the reasons why martial arts dramas are becoming increasingly difficult to watch.
Therefore, as a martial arts drama, whether "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" can present exciting martial arts scenes is also of concern to everyone.
In order to present exciting fighting scenes, the crew invited Gu Xuanzhao, who has participated in film and television works such as "影" and " Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ", as the action director.
The actors also received professional martial arts guidance and training before joining the group.
Judging from the special episode, the martial arts scenes in this drama have three characteristics.
The first is that there are many fight scenes.
The biggest highlight of a martial arts drama is the martial arts scenes.
Therefore, during the filming, many subplots of literary drama were removed from the drama, and a large number of martial arts scenes were added. In the words of the director, the fight started in just three sentences.
According to statistics, there are at least hundreds of martial arts scenes in the entire drama. The martial arts scene at the Beggar Clan Conference lasted seven days and seven nights.
's leading actor Ji Sha directly stated that this time the cycle of action scenes is relatively long and he will be filming action scenes every day.
The second is to play really hard.
Unlike many fight scenes nowadays that use special effects and slow motion, the fight scenes in this drama are basically real fights.
Judging from the current information, the fight scenes in the play are not explained in slow motion.
has both fist and fist to flesh close combat.
also has the tension-filled scenes of swords and swords.
The martial arts scenes have coherent, smooth and natural movements, and clean and neat moves, which are quite enjoyable to watch.
The third is to play new.
In order to make the visual presentation of the martial arts scenes more exciting, the production team added innovations to the martial arts moves.
For example, Guo Jing's martial arts movements in the early stage were relatively realistic. In the later stage, every time his martial arts cultivation reaches a higher level, it will be expressed through the conscious space.
This kind of martial arts fighting method that combines reality and reality can allow the audience to more intuitively feel the thrill of upgrading the character's martial arts.
In addition, there are many scenes and shots in the drama that are full of traditional martial arts aesthetics, capturing the atmosphere of the martial arts dramas of the 1990s.
The martial arts scene is the biggest selling point of this drama. We still have to wait and see how it will be presented.
The above is Qingshi’s perception of this martial arts drama based on current information. It has both highlights and shortcomings.
So can "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" once again present a magnificent martial arts world and rectify the name of the declining martial arts dramas?
