In 2008, Yitian Tulongji was selected for 30 days, Zhou Zhiruo was appointed, Zhang Jizhong: Liu Yifei second

Zhang Ji’s Chinese martial arts dramas can stir the situation in the mainland film and television circles every time, such as Li Yapeng’s version of "Swordsman" and Zhou Xun’s version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Jin Yong's drama comes with its own traffic, coupled with Zhang Jizhong's own reputation, so Every remake makes a lot of eyeballs.

And the 08 version of "Eternal Dragon Slayer" can be regarded as the Waterloo of his producer's career. Whether it is the rating or influence of the show, it is not as good as before. No one even knows that Deng Chao played Zhang Wuji.

In fact, every time Zhang Jizhong casts a Jin Yong drama, he generally follows the original script in terms of script, but once the casting fails, how to restore the original will not be satisfactory. Like the 06 version of "The Couple of Condor Heroes", although Huang Xiaoming and Yang Guo are extremely inconsistent, However, Liu Yifei's version of Little Dragon Girl and Chen Zihan's version of Guo Fu are highly recognized.

As for Deng Chao's version of "Eight Dragon Slayer", except for the yellow shirt woman who fits the original, the other characters reveal three words from appearance to temperament-inappropriate.

1. Huang Xiaoming declined? Deng Chao takes the initiative to fight for

. Speaking of the indissoluble bond between Deng Chao and Zhang Jizhong, we must start with "The Deer and Ding Ji". In 2006, "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was officially aired. The bricks and flowers flew together. Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei were promoted to Xiaosheng and Huadan respectively.

In the same year, Zhang Jizhong announced that he would audition "Wei Xiaobao" nationwide, and Deng Chao himself was very interested in "The Deer and Ding Ji". At that time, he was so popular that he was a promising new-generation actor in the industry.

Just when Zhang Jizhong expressed his hope that Deng Chao would act, Deng Chao’s old club claimed that he had not received any invitations. This was actually a speculative play by the other party. Deng Chao also changed his old attitude: "I won’t appear in "The Deer Tripod" because I’m afraid I’m sorry for the audience. ".

was a member of the Central Plains, until he joined Huayi. Looking at the cast of "The Deer and the Tripe", 80% are contracted artists from Huayi. As the main investor of the show, she is naturally willing to use its own employees. "The Deer and the Tripe" is their signing bait for Deng Chao.

However, thanks to the cultivation of the former company, he took the initiative to give up this opportunity and did not switch to Huayi until 2008, when Deng Chao's contract expired.

This time, in order to make up for the regret of "The Deer and the Ding Ji", Huayi directly sent the actor of "The Legend of the Dragon and the Dragon" as compensation.

Even if the candidate has been selected, the show party still went through a wave of processes. Zhang Jizhong said bluntly: "Huang Xiaoming is actually the best candidate for Zhang Wuji, and his fan group is also called Mingjiao."

Then, he changed his caliber again: "Huang Xiaoming will definitely not shoot anymore, the tide is rising, the price is too expensive to please." Due to the busy drafting work for the new version of "Journey to the West", the casting of this version of "Eight Dragon Slayer" is quite fast. Originally, the news that Deng Chaoyue played Zhang Wuji was kept secret, but he did not expect that Beard would directly cue during the interview, "Deng Chao and An Yixuan will perform well."

An Yixuan, because of the popularity of the idol drama "Betta Fish", the role of Zhao Min can be regarded as her first gift after becoming the little princess of Huayi.

2, Liu Jing will be Liu Yifei's second, An Yixuan almost starred in Zhou Zhiruo

​​In Mr. Jin Yong’s arena, women are often more attractive than men. This is especially true for "The Legend of Heaven and Slaying Dragon", and whether the show is successful or not, Zhao The casting of Min and Zhou Zhiruo is particularly important.

In Zhang Jizhong's mouth, An Yixuan was Zhou Zhiruo's best choice, but when the official role was fixed, she became Zhao Min, and Zhou Zhiruo fell for the newcomer Liu Jing.

Liu Jing, Liu Yifei and Jiang Yiyan are classmates in the university. Before "Evening Heaven and Slaying the Dragon", she did not have a masterpiece. After it was announced that she would play Zhou Zhiruo, Zhang Jizhong stood up and said: "She will be Liu Yifei second."

As soon as this statement came out, Liu Jing was pushed to the forefront. The filming of the drama had not yet started, and the title of "Little Liu Yifei" spread wildly. For a while, her limelight overwhelmed the leading actors Deng Chao and An Yixuan.

In addition, the "Three Kingdoms" crew threw an olive branch to Liu Jing. She was appointed as Jiangnan American Big Qiao. Since then, there have been more and more rumors about her profound background.

At the press conference of "Heaven Slaying the Dragon", Zhang Jizhong and director Yu Min said that Liu Jing came in rounds of interviews. She was able to play Zhou Zhiruo because of her classical temperament.

did not expect that many years later, what Zhang Jizhong said slapped himself in the face, "New editionZhou Zhiruo, I don’t think it is appropriate. I used her because of various reasons behind the scenes.” And does Liu Jing have any capital? After filming these two dramas, she has long since retired, so everyone can understand for themselves.

Of course, The casting is somewhat arbitrary. The biggest shortcoming of Deng Chao's version of Yitian should be the lighting of the kimono. Deng Chao's "Qi Liuhai" and An Yixuan's makeup are a bit more rustic. Liu Jing's appearance is not bad, but the lighting is too bad, and his facial features Blurred, only warm yellow light remains.

Second, the total investment of the whole drama is 30 million, which is the bottom of all the TV dramas of Zhang Jizhong. Insufficient funds lead to obvious special effects, like the green screen in the first episode. It’s not meticulous. What do you say about

? This version of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" is like a work of rush work, the drama party does not pay attention to it, Zhang Jizhong did not put in the previous energy, it did not become popular as it should.
