"The Legend of the New White Lady" has become the representative work of Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong, and under their perfect interpretation, this drama has also become an insurmountable classic, and it is not only a TV series, but more importantly, it carries everyone's youth and memories.
It is said that when filming this drama at that time, Xu Xian's actor was not Ye Tong, but Lin Qingxia, but Lin Qingxia refused to star because of the salary problem, which made Ye Tong.
In early 1992, when Taiwan television executives decided to shoot an annual drama, producer Cao Jingde approached director Xia Zuhui to discuss filming, and the two worked together to find playwright Gong Min to write a script.
At that time, I wanted to shoot a series of singing Huangmei tunes, and the singing tones in the play were all composed by the director inviting his good friend Zuo Hongyuan, which blended mountain songs and folk songs, which were not only good to listen to but also easy to catch.
In the choice of roles, the director also deliberated repeatedly, because of the integration of opera, when director Xia Zuhui met Lin Qingxia to play Xu Xian.
Because in the movie "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", Lin Qingxia played by the oriental undefeated, wearing a red coat of water and looking up to drink, left a deep impression on the audience.
However, unexpectedly, Lin Qingxia refused to star, at that time she was already famous, her value also rose with the tide, and her schedule was also full, and she could not find time to shoot this feature-length TV series.
By chance, director Xia Zuhui saw the popular "Blue Sea Love Sky", Ye Tong's men's clothing style in the play attracted him, and after that, he found Ye Tong to audition, but he did not expect that after Ye Tong finished the audition, the director directly patted you.
After several months of filming, this drama finally appeared on the TV screen, and what is surprising is that after the drama was broadcast, it immediately became popular all over the country, and the actors in the play became popular overnight.
At that time, many people did not know that Xu Xian's actor was a girl, and they were all surprised after knowing it, and Ye Tong's road to fame was also quite bumpy.
Born in Hong Kong, Ye Tong was born in Hong Kong, because she was good looking and tall, when she was 18 years old, she wanted to apply for advertising models, because there were too many applicants, she was squeezed to the end, until she was favored by the director's assistant Chen Guoxi, and only shot the advertisement.
Two years later, she starred in her first film "Fire Youth" by director Tan Jia MingXiang, which was also her first work, and was nominated for Best Newcomer.
She subsequently starred in a number of film and television dramas, and has performed wonderfully in film and television dramas such as "Seven Days of Wrong Love", "Yin and Yang Mistake", "Wonder Woman", "Smiling Proud of the River", "Blue Sea Love Day" and so on.
But her work has not stirred up too many waves, and the response has been mediocre, but it has also exercised her acting skills.
Until 1992, she starred in "The Legend of the New White Lady", played the role of Xu Xian, a weak student's appearance made Ye Tong play it to the fullest, Xiao Quan watched this drama that year, did not know that Ye Tong was a girl, and later reported it to believe it.
After becoming famous, Ye Tong also made a lot of films, starred in a number of film and television dramas, and performed in "Peace Hotel", "Fist God", "Chuanguo Yuxi", "Blade 1937", "Dulala Promotion", but people's impression of her still stayed on Xu Xian, which showed that she was a fairy or a fairy.
Although Ye Tong has been breaking through herself and playing different roles, the Xu Xian she plays is too classic, has been imitated and has never been surpassed, and this classic image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Conclusion: People's fate is sometimes like the destiny of heaven, what should be yours is yours, and others can't take it away, and Ye Tong can play Xu Xian as if it was predestined.
But Ye Tong's efforts before this are no less than anyone's, after becoming famous, she has been thinking about breaking through herself and breaking people's fixed impressions of her, which shows that Ye Tong is also a very serious and persistent person.
