Goose Factory has great ambitions and is preparing to create the "Jin Yong Martial Arts World" universe.
The first season is "Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is divided into five units, Iron-Blooded Heart + Eastern Evil and Western Poison + Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar + Huashan Sword Theory + Nine Yin Manual.
If the response is good, there will be " The Legend of the Condor Heroes ", " Heavenly Sword of the Dragon ", " Tian Long Ba Part " and " Swordsman ", which will bring the audience back to the past. The world of martial arts.
" Iron-Blooded Heart " was the first to be aired. The pace was so fast that the plot was like a quick glance and was incoherent.
is a great disservice to viewers who are not familiar with "The Condor".
There are many original plots in the following units, which may be better, and may gradually get better.
Ni Kuang once said that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" established Jin Yong's status as a "master" of martial arts novels, and people no longer doubted whether Jin Yong could write a great work.
This work is also recognized as a work that created a new model, new pattern and new era of martial arts novels.
has been remade many times before and after. The one with the greatest impact was undoubtedly the 83 version. After Weng Meiling, there was no more pretty Huang Rong.
The moment I hear the music of "Iron Blood", my blood will still boil, and I will think of the happy time of watching the drama.
and later the 94 version starred Zhu Yin and Julian Cheung . Although it was not as popular as the 83 version, it was still loved by the audience.
Huang Rong, played by Zhu Yin, is also the Bai Yueguang in the hearts of the audience, and is also a version that is closer to the original work.
However, this drama also experienced difficult casting disputes during the filming process.
1. Except for Zhu Yin, the characters have undergone n major changes.
The success of a drama is indispensable for good and suitable actors.
4 version of The Condor Shooting is in the three processes of the initial audition, the intermediate tour, and the official start of filming.
Except for Huang Rong who has always been Zhu Yin, the other three leading actors have all undergone major changes.
Initially, the actor who played Guo Jing was Lin Wenlong. However, because his mother was sick and needed care and companionship, Lin Wenlong gave the role to Ekin Cheng.
But during the audition process, director Li Tiansheng discovered that Ekin Cheng did not seem to be suitable for the role of Guo Jing.
At this time, Ekin Cheng was still preparing to film "The Lone Star Sword", so he also chose to resign.
Faced with this situation, Li Tiansheng had to let Julian Cheung, who originally played Yang Kang, play Guo Jing.
As a result, the role of Yang Kang was vacant again, so Li Tiansheng urgently contacted Louis Koo , hoping that he could play Yang Kang.
also contacted Liang Xiaobing and left her with the role of Mu Nianci.
But after the audition, Li Tiansheng found that Louis Koo's temperament was very suitable for Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In order to prevent Louis Koo from "becoming a father and a son at the same time" and was worried that the audience would be upset, the role of Yang Kang fell on Luo Jialiang.
Liang Xiaobing participated in the audition and tour, but due to scheduling issues, he did not participate in the performance. Mu Nianci's actor was changed to Guan Baohui.
2, Guan Baohui was ridiculed as "the ugliest Mu Nianci"
In this version of The Condor Shooting, Huang Rong played by Zhu Yin is smart, beautiful and fresh.
Guo Jing, played by Zhang Zhilin, is also a handsome, neat and silly fool.
However, the actors Yang Kang and Mu Nianci in the play were ridiculed by the crowd.
In fact, Luo Jialiang's appearance is still very good. Most of the complaints are about his age.
Yang Kang and Guo Jing were originally two brothers of similar age.
But when Luo Jialiang and Zhang Zhilin stand together, it makes people feel that there is a big age difference.
Compared to Guo Jing, this version of Yang Kang seems more like a shrewd middle-aged man.
Zhang Zhilin was only 23 years old at that time, and his age and status were very consistent with Guo Jing of this period.
But Luo Jialiang was already 32 years old, and his appearance itself was mature.
So the two of them standing together can easily cause drama.
Another character who has been criticized is Mu Nianci played by Guan Baohui.
This is how Mu Nianci is described in the original work - "She is seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and graceful. Although her face has a dusty look, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, and her appearance is good." Turning around, his heart suddenly trembled: "Why does this woman look so familiar? She seems to have seen her somewhere."
It can be seen that Mu Nianci is not only beautiful, but also aloof.
But in the eyes of the audience, Guan Baohui's version is only cold and cold, but not beautiful.
After the TV series was broadcast, she was also called "the ugliest Mu Nianci". In fact, it was more her appearance that ruined her.
But Guan Baohui conquered the audience with her acting skills. She grasped Mu Nianci's character just right.
vividly interprets Mu Nianci's weakness yet strength, melancholy yet tenderness, and the intertwined love and hate for Yang Kang.
3, the crew is both stingy and high-intensity
When filming the 94 version of The Condor, I wonder if TVB had too many martial arts dramas to remake, which led to insufficient funds.
is very stingy in all aspects of the production of this version of The Condor, as can be seen from the opening song.
As we all know, the opening titles of martial arts dramas play a great role in creating a martial arts atmosphere and immersing the audience's emotions.
However, the opening of this version of The Condor is a bit passable. From the picture to the layout to the color, everything gives people an uncomfortable feeling.
And the opening song is hard to praise, especially the line "shoot the vulture, shoot the lion, shoot the tiger", which is even more incomprehensible.
In addition, the setting of this drama is also too perfunctory.
In addition to the fact that most of the scenes are too dark and make you feel like you are in a cramped studio, the unrealistic snow scenes and the overweight copper cylinder all bring down the perception of this drama.
In addition, TVB is also famous for its high-intensity work requirements, and this drama is no exception.
In an interview show, Julian Cheung once mentioned that when filming the 94 version of The Condor Shooting, the announcements were very "inhumane". "The announcements for seven consecutive days were all 0628." Construction started on 06, and by 28 (i.e. early morning 4 o'clock).
This also caused him and many actors to sleep in TVB, or even just sleep in a seven-seater car for a while, and then have to get up to shoot immediately.
Such high-intensity shooting caused Zhang Zhilin to fall asleep while driving. Even if he opened the window and used the cold wind to refresh himself, it was useless, which eventually led to a car crash. Fortunately, there was no serious injury in the end.
4. Zhu Yin once said bluntly that "Zhang Zhilin is not like Guo Jing"
In fact, this drama has been broadcast for many years, but the audience has always been controversial about the selection of Guo Jing.
Even Zhu Yin, who plays Huang Rong, once said bluntly that Julian Cheung is not like Guo Jing at all.
When casting, the director always believed that this drama should have some modern elements.
Therefore, when choosing the protagonist, I tend to prefer handsome young men, also to create a sense of CP with Zhu Yin.
The final choice of Zhang Zhilin and Zhu Yin's combination is really eye-catching. Zhu Yin once said that Zhang Zhilin is indeed handsome, which made her act out the feeling of liking Guo Jing very well.
However, Zhu Yin also said bluntly that she told Julian Cheung when she was acting that she didn't think he looked like Guo Jing.
Even after many years, she still thinks that Zhang Zhilin is a completely different person, not like Guo Jing, but "more like Yang".
Many viewers even publicly said that Luo Jialiang, who is honest and honest in foreign trade, is more suitable for the role of Guo Jing than Zhang Zhilin.
During the filming, Huang Zhan, one of the "Four Great Talents", also said to Luo Jialiang, "You should play Guo Jing and Julian Cheung should play Yang Kang, that's right!" The acting was very good and ensured the smooth filming of the TV series.
Although there are many controversies, this version of Guo Jing and Huang Rong has really captured the hearts of the audience. They have also won the praise of the most beautiful Huang Rong and the most handsome Jing brother.
Thirty years have flown by since 1994, and the majority of the audience still remember the charming and clever Huang Rong and the handsome and honest Guo Jing. The classics are timeless, nothing more than this.(Written by Xi Chuangxue)
