The new version of the "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" was finally broadcast at 8:30 p.m. on November 22, and from the first episode, in the case of the emotional entanglement of the main characters, the plot and character relationships were adjusted, and the first episode also spent more than half of the time on introducing the relationship between the characters.
First of all, talk about the relationship between the characters, the biggest change in the new version is that The Q aunt Zhu Shajiao played by Michelle and Junhao are the relationship between "grandmother and granddaughter", while in the original version, it is mother and daughter.
The new version of the opening statement is that Aunt Q has a pair of twin daughters, Junhao was born to one of the daughters Sasha, due to Sasha's difficult birth and death, Aunt Q can only help raise her granddaughter. At the same time, Aunt Q's good sister in the song hall was abandoned by her boyfriend, forcing her 4-year-old son Wenchu to drink a corrosive liquid, fortunately found out in time to save Wenchu's life, but Wenchu became dumb, Aunt Q pitied Wenchu, she adopted him, he told Wenchu that Junhao was his sister.
Such a change in generational division makes me a little confused, because Aunt Q and good sisters belong to the same generation, Wenchu is the child of sisters, Junhao is a granddaughter, shouldn't There be a difference in generations between Wenchu and Junhao? If you want to strictly restore the generational division, Wen Chu and Junhao are the relationship between uncle and aunt, right? But in the play, Aunt Q was arranged to tell Wen Chu that Junhao would be his sister in the future... This is really incomprehensible, because the age difference between the two is relatively close, this point of doubt will be ignored for the time being!
Another daughter, Sha Hua, kept changing boyfriends when she was young, ran away from home after breaking up with her mother, and the follow-up adult version will be played by Yao Jiani. In the original version, Aunt Q and Shahua are friends.
Good luck
Junhao's biological father Zhu Zhanhui, in this version, first chased After Shahua and then chased Sasha, Sasha was pregnant with his child, Sahua ran away from home because Sasha fell in love with her man, this triangle relationship is too bloody...
As the characters grew up, Junhao's rough "love triangle" relationship with WenChu and Situ Lixin continued.
Secondly, the series was not filmed in Macau, but was fixed on "Liufu Mountain", so why did it retain the name "The Fifth Day of October"? The screenwriter explained once before, he said that the series still retains the "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" because he wants to carry forward the spirit of Aunt Q's "I am for everyone", and the first five is the stage that must be passed before the full moon, just like life, there is no regret, how to understand the meaning of perfection? And Aunt Q is the fifth birthday of the first month of October, her life is to be happy and happy to be able to achieve others, so this set of dramas is still called "The Moonlight of the Fifth Day of October".
The above two points are the biggest changes in the character setting.
As for the plot and production, from the first episode, the production side is trying very hard to restore the scenes of the 80s of the last century, but the whole look and feel is a modern drama, especially their costumes, which makes people very confused. For example, when Sha Hua met Zhu Zhanhui, she wore very modern mini shorts, and her makeup was completely modern, and she did not see the sense of age at all.
In terms of the actor's performance, because the first episode has only been broadcast so far, it cannot be decided too early, but the difference between the appearance and temperament is really too big.
Let's not talk about the protagonist, let's say that Jiang Yiwen, who has appeared before, was played by Yao Leyi, Yao Leyi's appearance is very capable of playing, fashionable dress plus shiny eyes, in the film Hong Kong female fan full, coupled with superb performance, that year also nominated for "Best Supporting Actress", although there is no award, it is also an affirmation of her acting skills. The new version of Yi Wen is played by Wei Yuxin, and there is no such feeling at first glance. However, Lin Yingtong, the actor of Helene, can still feel a few feelings of well-behaved and understanding.
The 2000 version of Jiang Yiwen is played by Yao Leyi.
The protagonist appeared - it turned out that Zhu Junhao's actor and Sasha and Shahua, who played the two daughters of Aunt Q before, are the same person, both are He Yiting, that is to say, He Yiting played a triangle in the first episode, which greatly reduced the sense of surprise, and did not see too much difference. But from the perspective of appearance, she is still very beautiful, and she also has a fresh and moving aura, which is a more eye-catching heroine.
One of the male protagonists is Luo Tianyu, who plays Situ Lixin, among the new generation of actors in Hong Kong, Luo Tianyu is relatively good-looking, and the "Hong Kong Love Story" he co-starred with Gong Jiaxin before is also very grounded, and the acting skills are still passed, but compared to Ma Junwei, he is still not enough for Ma Junwei to be cheerful.
Luo Tianyu plays Situ Lixin.
The first male protagonist, that is, Hu Hongjun, the actor of the first brother, is really very indispensable!
Hu Hongjun is a singer, his singing skills are very good, whether the acting skills are currently worthy of male number one remains to be examined, but if you only look at the appearance, he should not even be able to beat the 50-year-old Zhang Zhilin, this value gap is really too big! In terms of sign language, I personally don't know much, but seeing his sign language in the tea restaurant, I always feel a little fluttery lack of strength.
I think at the beginning, the two male protagonists played by Zhang Zhilin and Ma Junwei were really the male gods in everyone's heart.
Situ Lixin has the responsibility to look handsome and obsessive, and his good looks at Junhao's eyes are simply textbook-like heartbeat.
Wen Chu has a natural handsomeness and small freshness, his personality is kind and stoic, from the bottom of his heart, he thinks that Situ Lixin is better than himself, and he sincerely admires And understands that Lixin's love for Junhao is no less than his own, he does not argue, plays the idea of Breaking Junhao for himself, and makes a choice for her.
Especially the passage spoken to Aunt Q in sign language is too heart-wrenching. I still remember that when Aunt Q found out about Wenchu's feelings for Junhao and wanted to send him to Shenzhen as an apprentice, Wenchu sadly asked her, Don't you want me? I will not look at Junhao, I have always regarded her as my sister, I can't speak, I really won't look at Junhao, this scene earned everyone's tears.
These two male protagonists are still entangled in the present.
But this version, Hu Hongjun and Luo Tianyu, almost do not need to compare can choose the latter, although the appearance is not the most important, but Zhuyu in front, since it is a remake, the casting temperament must always be close.
The combination of Michelle and Shi Xiu's elderly CP is very tacit, and at present, their pair is the one that I have the most good feelings for.
TVB chose to remake "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" precisely because this drama created a precedent for idol dramas in 2000, I did not expect that 21 years later, looking at the old version again is still so green and beautiful, the intertwined complexity of family and friendship is so precious, even if it is far away, even if it is separated, it cannot be erased. No matter how far we go, the love of blood thicker than water will be tied to the hearts of every parent and child, and it will stay in it for a lifetime.
The theme song "Good Luck to the King" sung by Zhang Zhilin always acts as a tear gas in every key plot.
So many years have passed, I still remember the last episode, Junhao returned with the children, she blew the whistle, Wen Chu heard the sound turn around, smiled at her and said, Hello, wish Jun well, and then the camera was frozen in the side of the two people, Zhang Zhilin's singing suddenly sounded.
Every time I think of this scene, my nose is sore.
I'd rather not hug you to grow old, Let you come and go as I please, and still love in my heart, If I meet him better than me, Just look at the distance to wish the king well, Although you can't tell it yourself...
2000's "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" is so successful, it is particularly difficult to adapt, if you really want to change, you can choose to change the perspective, such as from the perspective of Uncle Haijing to describe, or to rewrite the character personality, the character personality is different, the trade-offs are different, and a new story will be slowly formed. From the first episode, it seems that the subsequent progress should not be too different, so it is better to rewrite a new story.
Some people will say that this is only the first episode, and the back may gradually get better, but TVB's episodes have never been like this, and all the good dramas are basically the first episodes that have been quickly fascinating, so the first episode is not good, to a large extent, determines the overall direction of the back.
I hope that I will be punched in the face in the end, this IP can be said to accompany many post-80s and post-90s growth, and I really can't bear to see it remade like this.
