The film and television industry pays attention to innovation, innovation and innovation. From the suspense dramas, unlimited streaming, and science fiction themes that have exploded in the past two years, we can see that the film and television drama industry has become more and more biased. Content output, high-energy plots, and excellent rhythm are the standard features of hit dramas and movies.
But it has to be said that there are some mediocre or sluggish people in all walks of life. When the content cannot come up with new tricks, some film and television workers are obsessed with remakes of classics.
Wang Jing has been crazy about remaking Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts works in the past two years, but none of them have passed the test. In early January, the industry even officially announced a movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". As soon as the lineup was announced, the screen was full of complaints. .
Objectively speaking, although classic IPs have their own audience base and influence, they are often difficult to surpass because they are in the forefront. Even the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which brings together many powerful actors, makes people worried. .
01
All powerful actors are on the field, their acting skills are online, and their shaping power is unknown
According to the official lineup and casting, actor Luo Jialiang plays the role of Guo Jing in his prime in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". According to the original age setting, Guo Jing at this time He is about forty years old, and actor Luo Jialiang is actually 61 years old. Even if the plot line is reversed to the end, Luo Jialiang's age is a bit older.
In addition, although Luo Jialiang's appearance still has black hair and thick black eyebrows, the wrinkles and eye bags on his face are more obvious. The actor's acting skills may not be able to make up for the unconcealed sense of age.
The most outrageous thing is that in the original work of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Rong is about 38 years old. Although her figure and temperament are getting more mature, she is at best a middle-aged young woman. However, in the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she is not Here comes 49-year-old Chen Zihan.
Judging from the footage in the film version, Chen Zihan is indeed young, but Chen Zihan's face in this high-definition filter has almost zero pores and zero flaws. The excessive skin-smoothing filter certainly cannot appear in the main film. And Chen Zihan, who faced the high-definition camera on the red carpet, couldn't stop his obvious fatigue and age.
As very important characters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the casting choices of Guo Jing and Huang Rong were not very suitable.
Even Mu Nianci, played by Dong Xuan, is a bit strange. The character Mu Nianci died when Yang Guo was 11 years old. According to the plot setting, Mu Nianci only lived to be 30 years old, and the actor Dong Xuan is now 44 Years old, the obvious sense of age can be seen in the close-up shots. Her face is swollen and stiff, and there are unhidable fine lines at the corners of her eyes and mouth. There is also the problem of casting a character who is too old.
Fortunately, there are several talented actors who are relatively close to each other to support the highlights.
Ouyang Feng, played by Bruce Leung, has white hair, wrinkles, unshaven beard, and is full of wildness. In the background of the story, Ouyang Feng is roughly in a state of 60+, which is very suitable for the old age and madness presented by Liang Xiaolong in the picture.
Actor Li Zixiong is best at portraying calm characters, while Qiu Chuji's image in "Double Eagles" is bold and unrestrained, with strong martial arts skills. Especially after Li Zixiong puts on the Taoist uniform, Qiu Chuji's upright and scheming image has been successfully established. Living.
It is a pity that the soul characters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu. The casting of these two characters directly affects the perception of the movie.
02
Xiao Long Nu is an Internet celebrity, Yang Guo has no spirituality, and Li Mochou has become good-looking to take on the role of Xiao Long Nu.
There is almost a fixed answer to the role of Xiao Long Nu. Not to mention Liu Yifei and Li Ruotong back then, even the two of them today cannot play the role to the audience. The image of the little dragon girl in my heart.
What's more, today, when the aesthetics of domestic entertainment are gradually downgraded, the audience has not seen the characteristics of "Little Dragon Girl" in any Xiaohua.
In the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the actor Wang Zixuan who played the role of Xiao Longnu seems to have a light face, but his facial features are not refined enough and the overall memory point is insufficient. In the close-up shot, except for a pair of bright eyes, The atrium is too long, the lower court is too short, the mouth is slightly protruding, and the chin is also slightly retracted. In the entire entertainment industry, Wang Zichun's appearance is at the level of an Internet celebrity at best.
What's even more outrageous is that in the dynamic panorama, Wang Zichun has more flaws, especially when facing the camera from the side, you can clearly feel that her nose is flat, which is not as stunning as Liu Yifei's back then.
It is reported that actor Wang Zichun has almost no acting experience. The movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is her first film in the cast. She has no acting resume at all, which also makes the audience full of doubts about her acting skills.
The casting of Xiao Long Nu is mediocre, and the casting of Yang Guo is even more troublesome.
Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is full of emotions, sincere, clever, arrogant and unrestrained. The image of Yang Guo that is more recognized by the audience is that of a man with delicate features and handsome face, such as the former ancient costume god Louis Koo Tianle, and Andy Lau and Andy Lau. Huang Xiaoming’s version.
These actors, when they were young, had the looks to fight their way through the white-faced niche, and Zhao Huahua, the actor who portrayed Yang Guo in the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", has pretty good facial features.
But looking at his face shape, he looks confused. His forehead is too narrow and his face is too long. He is considered handsome among the crowd, but has no distinctive features in the entertainment industry.
Even through the actor's eyes, netizens cannot see the spirituality of his performance, which also means that Zhao Huawei's version of Yang Guo has basically no possibility of surpassing the classics.
What is even more unexpected is that after looking at the entire lineup, the character Li Mochou has become the face of the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Actor Fu Mei has a typical thick-faced appearance, with a high nose bridge and She has fierce eyes and good looks. No matter how expressive her acting skills are, she has the most aura in the official lineup announcement clip.
At present, it seems that instead of looking forward to Guo'er and Xiao Longnu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is better to look forward to what surprises Li Mochou, portrayed by actor Fu Mei, can bring to the audience.

Some people say "Little Dragon Girl has an internet celebrity face" , and some think "I have watched this Little Dragon Girl ten times and still can't remember what she looks like." In , some people complained about , "Yang Guo has no spirituality", and in , some people went off-key and praised , "Is Li Mochou so beautiful?".
In short, the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is just the official lineup, but it has successfully made netizens prepare in advance and be prepared for the movie's release.
As for whether the movie can avoid wasting the influence of the classic IP, it depends on the rhythm of the plot, whether the interpretation of the plot has a martial arts flavor, and whether there is a martial arts spirit. If the plot cannot be restored or innovative, then this version The broadcast effect of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be imagined.
