"Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is launched. Although it is popular, it has more flaws.
For example, Huang Rong, played by Bao Shang'en, was criticized for not being beautiful enough and not very smart. In many scenes, she was also shown to have a crooked mouth when speaking, which really didn't fit the character well.
As a key role in the "The Condor Trilogy", Huang Rong is truly a rare figure in the world. She is beautiful and talented. She is extremely popular among readers. Every time it is adapted or remade, the actor will receive much attention. .
The girl version of Huang Rong alone had no less than 10 versions before Bao Shang En.
The earliest one is the Rong Xiaoyi version.
In 1958, Hong Kong's Emei Pictures filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In this two-part film, Rong Xiaoyi partners with Cao Dahua and plays the roles of Huang Rong and Guo Jing.
After a lapse of 18 years, Hong Kong's Jiashi is filming "The Condor" again, casting Michelle, who just debuted, as Huang Rong. After the series was aired, the ratings became a hit, and Michelle was recognized for her charming appearance and smart performance, thus establishing her status as a star.
In the Shaw Brothers version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" released the following year, 19-year-old Tian Niu played Huang Rong, which was also her first screen role.
At that time, Tianniu still had baby fat, and her face and figure were a bit chubby, so she was not very beautiful, but she had a natural girlish agility.
changed back into women's clothing, and when she came by boat, her figure loomed among the willow leaves. Seeing Guo Jing from a distance, a smile appeared on his lips. A bright smile, pretty and cute.
But her biggest problem is that she is more than cute and not enough "evil".
In the two subsequent Shaw Brothers sequels, Huang Rong was played by Niu Niu whose real name was Guo Youhua. Although in terms of appearance, Niu Niu is better than Tian Niu who had not yet grown up at that time, but her appearance is brighter, her temperament is cold, and the hairstyle and clothes in the film are not girlish.
In other words, cool and beautiful, but not like Huang Rong.
After Guo Youhua, it is the most classic version 83.
Weng Meiling, who was still a newcomer in the entertainment industry at the time, stood out from many candidates and became the actor of Huang Rong. Her bright and lively big eyes and two playful rabbit teeth have become bonus points for her role as Huang Rong.
Although the appearance and performance of Weng Meiling's Huang Rong are based on Michelle's version, in the process of interpreting the character, she also performed her own characteristics, with both spirit and evil everywhere.
Since then, "Qiao Huang Rong" played by Weng Meiling has become a reference template for newcomers.
Many people know about Chen Yulian's version of Xiao Longnu, but not many know that she also played Huang Rong.
In the 1988 Taiwan version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", 28-year-old Chen Yulian played Huang Rong. Her partner is Huang Wenhao, who just debuted a year ago.
Chen Yulian and Guo Youhua are similar, both are bright and cool beauties. The inconsistency in appearance and temperament, coupled with the suspicion of "pretending to be young", make this character far less brilliant than her Little Dragon Girl counterpart.
Among the many versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the influence of this version is almost nonexistent.
Zhu Yin's version of Huang Rong comes from the 1994 Hong Kong Wireless version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
has a pretty appearance and a smart temperament. In terms of appearance alone, Zhu Yin is perfect for playing Huang Rong. This was also confirmed by how stunning she was when she appeared in women's clothing for the first time in the play.
is just not exaggerated in her performance. There are too many small movements and expressions such as twirling her hair, touching her braids, and pouting, so her version has always received mixed reviews.
also has mixed reputations, as well as the 2003 Zhou Xun version.
Although Zhou Xun was 29 years old when he played Huang Rong, he had almost no sense of age. The beautiful eyebrows and smart temperament also fit well with Huang Rong's setting.
Most importantly, her acting skills are superb.
But what no one expected was that the original sound and costumes were a hindrance.
Zhou Xun's voice is low and thick, and his scenes with enemies are stylish. When he acts coquettishly and calls Brother Jing, he really drives away the guests. Coupled with the hairstyle and makeup of a young lady, the overall effect is far below the audience's expectations.
The 2008 Lin Yichen version is similar to the Tianniu version, but more outstanding.
Although in appearance, her Huang Rong is more cute than beautiful, but because of her performance of Huang Rong's cleverness and agility, as well as the evil spirit of "family tradition", she has many supporters.
And the Li Yitong version in 2017 was praised for its high degree of restoration.
Whether it is the white golden ring when taking a boat from Shili Lake, or the playful and smart appearance at other times, it is highly recognized by the audience. Many netizens even believe that her role as Huang Rong truly fits the role of the young island owner of Peach Blossom Island.
Even in the barrage of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", there are many people who lamented that "it has to be Li Yitong."
As for Huang Rong, played by Lin Yanrou in the 2021 Internet University "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Eighteen Palms of the Dragon", it can only be described as unrelated. Not only has his character been severely altered, he has gone from being extremely resourceful to being "too stupid". Apart from his body gimmick, the actor himself has nothing to look at in terms of appearance and acting skills.
