- New Water Margin has richer stories and more complete content

New Water Margin has a total of 86 episodes, and each episode is about 45 minutes long. In contrast, the 98 version of Water Margin has only half the number of episodes of the new version, that is, 43 episodes. In terms of the presentation of the story, the new version of Water Margin is obviously superior. The gap between

is more than half of the time, which also makes the shortcomings of the old version of Water Margin appear. The content of the original work has been seriously deleted, and the main plot is retained, resulting in the origin, experience and advancement of the main line of many characters. Many viewers still do not know what is going on, but suddenly there are a few more people, the help of Liangshan heroes. Faction seems to turn into a dark side struggle. Some main plots, such as Wu Song fighting tigers, Fengxueshan Temple , etc., are too much inked, but they are not mentioned for those Liangshan heroes who can't be talked about.

New Water Margin, on the basis of the old version of the story, shows more of the plot in the original to the audience, but it is more to let the audience see the fate of more characters. For example, , Yan Poxi, and Pan Jinlian, in the new version, explain in more detail the antecedents and subsequent development results of their fate. This kind of treatment gives the audience the opportunity to see and hear, and also to understand the background of so many heroes. More like Lin Chong , Wu Song, Lu Zhishen , Yang Zhi, basically their stories are relatively complete, and the cause and effect of going to Liangshan is also very clear. The overall connection of the film and television drama is in place, and the story structure is more complete.

2 Song Jiang changed his negative personality and transformed into a great man

The description of Song Jiang in the original book has a loyal side, a hypocritical side, a weak side, and a persistent side. He is a person that people both love and hate. Role. This is more reflected in the old version of Water Margin, and Song Jiang played by Li Xuejian, the star of the old version, fits the image of a short, black-faced man, and has always been recognized as the real Song Jiang

For Song Jiang, the new version of Water Margin will remove the dross and leave it to the audience. Yes, it seems that there is only the heroic face on the TV series, the timely rain Song Gongming who put loyalty and righteousness first. Song Jiang, played by Zhang Hanyu, has a heroic spirit in himself, as if seeing that face and thinking that this is not Song Jiang? That's right, New Water Margin is a very good portrayal of Song Jiang's image.

Looking at the complete works, Song Jiang Zhidou Gongsun Sheng , Yisuke Yan Po mother and daughter, private letter let go Chao Gai , self-distribution Jiangzhou , Xunyanglou titled anti-poem, etc. One is not depicting, highlighting Song Jiang's heroic and heroic temperament and loyalty, and even killing Yan Poxi in anger was praised as an act of loyalty by Brother Gu Quan. On the contrary, all the dark sides of Song Jiang are almost not reflected in New Water Margin, making the audience mistakenly think that Song Jiang is really a loyal person and a real man.

3 Li Kui and others are no longer bloodthirsty, but a little more peaceful

In the new version of Water Margin, 108 Liangshan heroes are all righteous people. In the original work, a lot of random murder plots have been deleted and removed.

Li Kui is a stark contrast. In order to earn , Zhu Di, and to go to Liangshan, Li Kui deliberately threw Xiao Ya Nei off the cliff, but in the new version, Xiao Ya Nei fell to his death due to a scuffle between the two. What's more, Li Kui has a lot of ink in the original work, bloodthirsty, and he is an honest and simple bad guy and a hooligan. Gambling not only acts as a rogue but also steals money. He kills people on the battlefield regardless of whether they are friends or foes. He cuts and kills indiscriminately. He kills a lot of wicked people, but perhaps there will be more souls who die under his hands!

This approach may be more suitable for the main theme of the new version of Water Margin, shaping the hero of LiangshanThe image of loyalty and bravery, for the tragic situation.
