This actor needs more money

"This is a little different from the Swordsman that I saw before."

After watching the first episode, Gao Yuanyuan muttered.

Before the CCTV version of "Swordsman" came out, many versions had been filmed on Hong Kong Island, the earliest being the 1984 version and the 1985 version.

These two versions were shot early and are often compared with the "Dragon Movie" of the same period. They failed miserably and their popularity was relatively low.

In terms of movies, there are three versions, The Swordsman I, The Swordsman II: The Invincible, and The Invincible Returns.

Because it was a movie, the three versions of the story were not complete due to length issues. The latter two versions were directly modified, which made Jin Yong so angry that he bluntly stated that he would never cooperate with Xu Laomo again.

The devil's reform is the devil's reform. The interlude is quite nice. The movie version has a good laugh. The box office is also good. Otherwise, it would not have three versions in a row. Li Lienjie, Guan Zhilin, Li Jiaxin, Wang Zhuxian and others are rushing to cooperate. .

The more recent one is the 1996 version, in which Lu Songxian played Linghu Chong. This version is the most influential in the TV series.

Regardless of TVB's "Persuading the Way", the plot, casting, and acting skills of the actors are nothing to mention. Lu Songxian's own prodigal character fits Linghu Chong very well.

He became popular after this episode aired, and many viewers said there would be no Linghu Chong after Lu Songxian.

However, some people don’t believe in evil. No, last year when Ding Xiu and the others were still filming the mainland version of Siao Ao, Wanwan and Singapore released two versions in a row.

One version is for popular singer Ren Xianqi, and the other version is for Roaring Emperor Ma Jingtao.

It was aired last year, and there has been no movement so far. It can be seen that these two editions have failed. Not to mention the latter, as far as the former is concerned, although the show has failed, the ending theme is quite popular.

Ren Xianqi's film and television drama production may not be great in the past few years, but every time a bad drama is followed by a popular ending, opening, or interlude, it is also a strange thing.

This time it’s Tianya who’s on fire.

The current CCTV version is the latest version, the first remake of a Jin Yong novel in the Mainland.

After watching the first episode, as far as Gao Yuanyuan's feelings are concerned, the scenes are very good, and they are basically real scenes, surpassing TVB by dozens of streets.

The plot is just a little different. She remembers that Linghu Chong appeared relatively late in Swordsman.

Where Lin Pingzhi killed Yu Canghai's son, those in the tavern should be Yue Lingshan and Luo Denuo of the Huashan sect, not Linghu Chong.

"Are you trying to say that Linghu Chong's appearance was brought forward?" Ding Xiu knew what she was thinking: "The version has been revised. Zhang Jizhong said that if we film it according to the novel, the protagonist's appearance will be too slow and the audience won't like it."

In the novel, when did Linghu Chong appear? When he returned to Yanlou, it was the restaurant where Yilin was molested by Tian Boguang.

At that time, the ashes of Lin Pingzhi's parents were cold.

It is indeed a bit late to appear.

This is the characteristic of Jin Yong's writing. Looking at the beginning of his novels, it is easy to regard the supporting characters as the protagonists.

In "Swordsman", Lin Pingzhi is a rich man with a sense of justice. Because of his justice, his whole family was exterminated. He vowed not to avenge this revenge and became a human being. Therefore, he embarked on the road to find the family's secret sword to ward off evil spirits.

No matter how you look at it, he is a proper protagonist.

In the end, Linghu Chong appears halfway through, and the protagonist has a higher aura than him. You don't think it's irritating?

Not only The Swordsman, but also The Legend of the Condor Heroes followed this path. The preparation for the beginning was really long, and it took a long time for Guo Jing to emerge.

For this reason, readers often complained.

Gao Yuanyuan made a soft sound and said: "The protagonist appears a little late, but compared to the old version, Linghu Chong is still not as handsome as Lu Songxian."

"Yue Lingshan is pretty good, quite clever."

"Compared with the old version, where is my Lin Pingzhi?" Ding Xiu elbowed her, wanting to hear her evaluation.

After thinking for a few seconds, Gao Yuanyuan said: "I don't know."

"Are you going to be so perfunctory? Is it difficult to tell the truth?"

"I really don't know. If you don't believe me, just ask Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang."

Wang Baoqiang turned his head and said, "Brother, don't ask me, this is my first time watching it."

Ding Xiu glanced at Huang Bo, who shook his head: "There are so many versions of Swordsman, but I can't name any of the actors who played Lin Pingzhi, and I don't even have any impression of him."

"In the previous Xiao Ao, Lin Pingzhi didn't seem to have many roles. He only appeared as a small supporting role. The actor was not a celebrity, so there is no comparison."

Gao Yuanyuan spread her hands: "Look, it's not just me."

"The Swordsman" has a million words, and it is too long to be made into a TV series with hundreds of episodes. Therefore, the previous producers focused on the key points.

That is to say, take Linghu Chong as the main line and follow his vision.

The result of this is that Lin Pingzhi has become a small role. He is not a big actor who can play small roles, so this role is not famous.

Ding Xiu said: "If you don't want to make comparisons, then tell me your thoughts on Lin Pingzhi you just watched."

The room was quiet for a few seconds, and Huang Bo said depressedly: "I watched a TV series and I still need to write down my thoughts after watching it?"

Gao Yuanyuan said weakly: "If I didn't say anything, would I still be able to walk out of this gate today?"

Ding Xiu said coldly: "No one can leave until we make it clear."

Wang Baoqiang gave a thumbs up: "Brother, I don't have much education. After reading it, I have one feeling, it's awesome."

Huang Bo followed closely and said: "Me too."

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't say such vulgar words, so she could only think hard, and said after a while: "It's good, Linghu Chong is not as handsome as you. If it were filmed according to the original work, Linghu Chong appeared late, and those who don't know would think you are the one." main character."

Ding Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "What else?"

Gao Yuanyuan wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued: "Also, the martial arts is very beautiful, the movements are chic and elegant, and the punches and kicks are just right."

"What else, like acting and stuff?"

"The acting was a bit mediocre."

"Um?"

"Maybe it's because of the first episode. There weren't many appearances and there were no emotional scenes."

Ding Xiu said: "It makes sense, let's continue reading."

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to leave. It was just a TV series to watch. It was too torturous. It was like a high school class, with the teacher's death roll call.

From now on, even if I kill her, I won’t come to Ding Xiu’s place to watch TV.

At the beginning of the second episode, as Gao Yuanyuan said, because his family was exterminated, Lin Pingzhi's emotions became stronger. First he felt regret, then anger, and finally he hated his own incompetence.

Being chased by Yu Canghai, teased by Mu Gaofeng, and subjected to all kinds of grievances. After many blows, all thoughts were lost, and he even wanted to die...

It's almost nine o'clock, and I've finished watching the second episode.

Ding Xiu coughed, and everyone knew that it was time to make a speech again.

"Brother, awesome!" Wang Baoqiang still said the same thing.

Huang Bo wanted to say that I was the same, but when he saw Ding Xiu's cold eyes, he temporarily changed his mind: "These scenes are not very difficult. You can't say how good they are, but they are not bad either. They are quite satisfactory." Bar."

After speaking, he took a careful look and was relieved when he saw that Ding Xiu didn't copy the guy.
