Without exception, it attracted a huge spit.
First of all, the actors, this play has launched a brand-new lineup. It is foreseeable that the acting skills are naturally a bit green, but who would have thought-
Even the recognition of actors' looks is so low?
I can't help but miss the time when I was amazed by the four beauties in Alec Su.
As one of Mr. Jin Yong's classic works, The Dragon Slayer by Eternal Adversity has always been a frequent visitor to remake.
It has been more than 40 years since the first edition of 1978, and there have been ten editions of works.
Among them, there are eight TV plays and two movies, each with its own merits.
1978 Edition Adam Cheng, Wang Mingquan and Angie Chiu
Of course, due to the different ages, the original service and acting style may not be appreciated by the current audience.
But the actors at that time were all handsome men and beautiful women who had just become popular, and their popularity was very high, which was enough to show that the industry attached importance to this IP.
1984 Taiwan Province Province Edition-Liu Dekai, Kexin Yu, Liu Yupu
Starting from the 1984 edition of Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Kitty Lai Mei Han and Deng Cuiwen, this work began to appear frequently in the audience's sight.
Since then, almost every remake of The Dragon Slayer, from director to casting, has aroused great discussion.
1986 TVB version Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Kitty Lai Mei Han, Deng Cuiwen.
It is also from this period that Ang Lee, Tsui Hark, Zhang Jizhong and other directors took charge, and Qi's martial arts were the icing on the cake, and China's martial arts began to flourish.
No matter the mainland, Hongkong TVB, or Taiwan Province Province, there is a martial arts style with countless pursuers.
However, in the Taiwanese version of Ma Jingtao and Cecilia Yip, the two protagonists are not very likable. Instead, I played Kathy Chow in Zhou Zhiruo and became Bai Yueguang in the eyes of the audience.
Even this work has become a masterpiece in her acting career.
1994 Taiwan Province province edition starring Ma Jingtao, Cecilia Yip and Stephen Chow.
This time, the new version of "Eternal Dragon Slayer" was launched, and she was extinct from Zhiruo, and even pushed to a hot search, which triggered a heated discussion.
Incidentally, in the Taiwanese version, Yang Xiao played by Sun Xing is also called the most suitable one among all versions.
Some netizens even laughed and said: This look can be regarded as a lifelong mistake!
Who would have thought that Venus, which is too white in my impression, also has such a charming moment?
The two editions after 2000 can be said to be the most classic remake in the eyes of the audience after 80 s and 90 s.
200 1 TVB Edition Wu Qihua Gigi Lai Charmaine Sheh
The first one is TVB version 200 1. At that time, Wu Qihua was not a teacher-nurse killer, but he made the most devoted Zhang Wuji.
From beginning to end, his eyes only have the beloved Zhao Min.
I have to say that Zhao Min in Gigi Lai is really beautiful.
Look at this collagen face, no wonder Cecilia Cheung once said in front of the media-
All the entertainment circles in Hong Kong, I only admit that Gigi Lai is more beautiful than me.
Handsome men's wear, sweet women's wear, no matter which style she can easily hold.
Zhou Zhiruo in this issue is also very familiar to everyone, that is, TVB now takes care of Charmaine Sheh.
Although she has just made a debut and has some baby fat on her face, it still cannot stop her from becoming popular with this work.
Speaking of Alec Su version, it can be said that it is the version with the highest audience acceptance since 16.
2003 Mainland Edition Alec Su, Alyssa Chia, Gao Yuanyuan.
At that time, he had just passed the peak period brought by Princess Zhu Huan, and he took over this work, which undoubtedly brought the acting career of Guaigu to a new height.
In addition, the service of conscience and accurate casting also made the play once known as the most valuable version of "Eternal Dragon Slayer".
Especially Alyssa Chia and Gao Yuanyuan, the sister flowers, are so beautiful that it is difficult for the audience to choose.
Now it seems that Gao Yuanyuan, who has always been elegant and fresh, is so charming and lovely in red.
Then came the 2009 version of Deng Chao and Ann.
I don't know why, every time I read this version, I always feel that the stylist is not careless enough, and everyone looks a little rustic.
Mainland Edition 2009- Deng Chao, Ann and Liu Jing
In other words, if it is not clean enough, there is always a heavy feeling, which is not as light as the previous martial arts films.
It is also from this one that the book Eternal Dragon Slayer, which has been on the rise, began to decline.
At the same time, everyone suddenly found that the number of martial arts films in TV programs has also decreased a lot.
Instead, it is the ancient puppet Xianxia drama headed by the legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man, and the Qing Palace Crossing Drama which has been all the rage since 20 12.
As if overnight, the martial arts film suddenly lost its audience.
After the TV series is over, let's take a look at "Eternal Dragon Slayer" on the big screen.
Among them, Jet Li, Sharla Cheung and Chingmy Yau left the deepest impression on the audience.
The film was released in 1993. Even after so many years, there are still many scenes that people remember.
Sharla Cheung, for example, that as long as she turns her head and smiles, there will be a hundred trials, which confirms that she is the best spokesperson for Zhao Min.
I have to say, director Jing Wong does favor Chingmy Yau.
It is obvious that Zhang Wuji is just a transient passer-by, but he has spent so much space to make this role shine.
Of course, this version of Xiao Zhao is also a goddess in the eyes of the audience.
Even in order to set off Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao, Zhou Zhiruo in the film is portrayed as a bad woman who plays tricks on Zhang Wuji with Song Qingshu, which really makes Gigi Lai miserable.
But on the other hand, you can play Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min. In those days, Gigi Lai had more than one face.
Perhaps because Jet Li is a martial artist, his plays are more clever and beautiful than the drama version.
Not only in The Dragon Slayer, but also for the audience in China, Jet Li symbolizes an era that China's martial arts can't be ignored.
From Zhang Sanfeng to Huang Feihong, from Zhang Wuji to Huo Yuanjia, Jet Li brought more than just a few beautiful moves to the audience.
The martial arts film and television works of that period all showed the charm of China martial arts.
But in recent years, the essence of martial arts films is not dazzling kung fu, but handsome faces.
Some netizens jokingly commented on this sentence:
Handsome people have no mind to practice martial arts, and those with good martial arts have no chance to film.
This is the status quo of martial arts films.
Indeed, now, if we look at the remakes of the legendary swordsman and The Dragon Slayer in the past two years, even though a new lineup has been introduced, there are still few good young people with martial arts.
And the martial arts successors who were once familiar to everyone gradually disappeared on the stage.
Jet Li's former successor, Chiu Man-Cheuk, is no longer in the limelight, and now he can only get to know each other in major online dramas.
Ashton Chen, who became famous all over the country at the age of four, went abroad to study and gained weight, and was constantly ridiculed as a disabled child star.
Although the handsome guy has returned to his former appearance after the success of slimming, he has long been replaced by newcomers in the TV drama circle, and now he has retired to the second line to open a martial arts school.
And Jason Wu, once lush, has become a box office champion of billions, but now he is going further and further on the road of tough guy.
Unfortunately, much cry and little rain remain silent.
In the future, Tsui Hark will also create the trilogy "The Condor Heroes". What will happen?
We can't guess, but we still hope that Xu Laoguai can reproduce the martial arts prosperity in Dong Fangbubai for us.
Has Tsui Hark changed? Or have our times changed?
Now, watching the martial arts drama of the new edition of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", the slow motion is five seconds, which is magnified by the distant view and close shot, and there is no outstanding personal focus.
Perhaps for the director, instead of forcing the actors to increase their martial arts attainments, it is better to use props to set off the scenes.
But for the audience, is this really the martial arts film we expect?
Obviously not.
With the departure of Mr. Jin Yong, many people lament that there are no more rivers and lakes in the world.
But in fact, before his death, martial arts films were far away from us.
In the past ten years, we haven't seen a martial arts film that is praised and not a box office.
The audience is impatient, and so is this era.
But please directors and actors, don't worry, use time to polish a real work.
Because of this, it is worthy of the word martial arts in our minds.
