After 7 days of launch, the popularity rose to third, but it was criticized by netizens for "destroying the original". What's the difference of "Hire of Go"?

On October 27th, the live-action version of Baiyueguang's comic "Hireki" was launched. On the 7th day of the launch of

, ​​it defeated "Dear Mayang Street" and "Wishful Fangfei" and became the third most popular online.

All the negative reviews and positive reviews appear alternately, one-star reviews and five-star reviews appear alternately. Searching for reviews on this show on all social media, it is always impossible to get a general consensus. Audiences who like the show "God of the Game" I think this drama restores the essence of the original work, which is refreshing and enjoyable; viewers who don't like this drama think that the filming of "Soul of the Game" destroys the original work, and it is so bad that it feels hot eyes after watching it for a second. The score of

Douban 7.2 is not low, but the bad reviews are still a lot.

is a rare film that can get such a polarized reputation, so I watched this live-action "Soul of the Game" starring Hu Xianxu and Zhang Chao for the first time. The overall senses are very complicated, and I have to say that the show was actually shot. Not enough respect for the original work, but at the same time it is not as bad as some netizens complain about.

So let’s talk about it today, what is it that led to the polarized reputation of "Soul of Go".

Reason#1: The hot-blooded golden-finger prodigy

has sold more than 10 million copies of "Soul of the Game", which has been serialized since 1999. It is definitely a phenomenon-level comic work. The fire of this comic work has also set off in Japan. With the vigorous "Go craze", many young people have bought Go to study seriously in an attempt to become the next "Shinto Koichi".

This manga tells the story of Hikaru Shinto, who was still in elementary school, awakened the thousand-year soul who was possessed on the old chessboard of his grandfather’s warehouse by chance. The chess fool who committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.

Under the training of Fujiwara Sawa, Shinto Koichi, who had no knowledge of Go, fell in love with Go and met his destined opponent-Toya Ryo. The story of

slowly growing from entry to a genius chess player.

"Soul of the chess" comics belong to the upgraded bloody comic, which is the ultimate reason why it has so many diehard fans, but for localization, the drama version of "Soul of the chess" has undergone a large number of adaptations, for example, because of the age of the actors, the protagonist It was changed from elementary school to the third grade of junior high school, and the three-year practice time of Xiaoguang and Zuowei in the original book was taken away.

Xiaoguang was changed to "Time" in the play (Hu Xianxu), Zuo Wei became Chu Ying (Zhang Chao), the two people have undergone earth-shaking changes from age to personality, and they are free from long-term practice. After that, time's provocation to Yu Liang seemed to be particularly ignorant, and Chu Ying's respect for Go disappeared.

That is to say, the whole core of "God of Chess" to attract fans has been completely changed, no wonder the original fans are not satisfied.

Reason 2: The unqualified adaptation of

comics has so many fans, because the "paper man" as the protagonist is almost perfect in the hearts of fans, so I encountered the biggest one in the live-action version The problem is that the characters on the screen are far less attractive than the audience imagined.

To give the simplest example, there are two soul characters in "Soul of Chess", one is time and the other is Chu Ying. Among them, the prototype of Chu Ying, Fujiwara Sawei is a classic manga god, he is wise and upright and has a long one. An outstanding handsome face, whether in manga or anime, is very popular.

On the other hand, in the TV series "The Soul of Chess", Chu Ying's shape has transformed into "white impermanence". With his stiff eyebrows and thick eye shadows, let alone a male god, he looks very scary.

and the screenwriter set the character for this roleIn order to satisfy his desire to play Go, Chu Ying constantly forced time to continue game after game, and he did not hesitate to cheat time to win the game. The whole person looks very good. His selfishness and paranoia are very different from the image of the male god in the comics.

Reason three: poor service

"God of Chess" is the most criticized, which makes the audience feel "spicy eyes". The biggest problem of

comic drama is that it is easy to become unaccustomed. How to make a smooth transition or localization has always been a problem for comic drama. "The Soul of the Game" is a typical example of transition failure. The screenwriter has done a lot in both personality and world outlook. The modification of, but insisted on using some of the settings in the comics in the shape of the characters.

, ​​such as baseball caps that don’t match time, and sometimes naive, sometimes old-fashioned, and sometimes serious, making the overall effect a bit "early".

Another example is the look of Chu Ying just mentioned. Almost every viewer who loves to watch Japanese comics knows that the prototype of Chu Ying in the manga "Soul of Go", Fujiwara Sayu, lived in the Seimei era. It was the clothing of the elegant Shi at that time. If you want to adapt it reasonably and locally, Chu Ying's style should not be changed to "white impermanence", but should be restored according to history.

In short, after the magical reformation of the game "Hire of the Game", it has lost the warmth and affection brought by the growth and upgrade in the comics. What is left is just an industrial assembly line-like routine goldfinger drama, I don’t know the screen. How many points would you rate this show before?
