Although "Yunnan Bug Valley" has ended, the residual heat of "Ghost Blowing Lights" has not yet dissipated.
Unfortunately, the rating of the show fell from 7.6 at the time of launch to 6.6, which is slightly inferior to "Dragon Ridge Labyrinth".
The reason is that in my opinion, the shaping of the character of Wang Fatzi in this drama has not yet been refined and fit enough with the original work.
You know, as a key role in the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series, it is the most important part of the adaptation into film and television works.
In the original work, Wang Fatzi's real name is Wang Kaixuan, born in the army compound, and his father is a soldier.
Because of this layer, Wang Kaixuan has had the opportunity to contact all kinds of firearms since he was a child, so that the marksmanship is accurate.
Moreover, he and Hu Bayi, who grew up in the compound wearing open crotch pants, are each other's most loyal and trusted friends.
As the male number two of "Ghost Blowing Lights", Wang Fatzi has a more extroverted personality, talks more, and does things with a big grin.
In addition to the weakness of fear of heights, there is almost nothing to fear.
In the early years, he and Hu Bayi came together to the Village of Xing'an Menggangyingzi at the junction of the Heilongjiang River in Inner Mongolia to join the team.
The two experienced the niuxin mountain expedition and the excavation of the yellow skin grave together, and became acquainted with Tian Xiaomeng and his comrade-in-arms Ding Sitian.
Later, Hu Bayi went to join the army and briefly separated from Wang Kaixuan for several years.
Until the 1970s, Wang Kaixuan started the business of Teng's recording tapes in Beijing.
In the early 1980s, Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi came back together to recount the revolutionary friendship.
Subsequently, Hu Bayi gave up the resettlement job and followed Wang Fatzi to Beijing to sell tapes, and the two met big gold teeth in Panjiayuan, and their lives changed.
Not long after, the two got to know Shirley Yang, the idle Wang Fatzi and Hu Bayi, who studied feng shui, and the three formed a gold-touching team and embarked on a tomb-hunting expedition.
It is not difficult to find that the wang fat man in the original work is angular and dares to be bold, but there is only one stinky problem - greed for money.
At any time, except Hu Bayi, no one obeyed.
So in the movies and TV series of the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series, who is the most in line with the original work of the various versions of Wang Fatzi?
01. The most exquisite Wang Fatzi - Huang Bo, representative work "Dragon Hunting Tips"
Huang Bo, who has the aura of "Five Billion Emperors" on his head, has attracted much attention at the beginning of the filming of "Finding the Dragon".
It is undeniable that only from the appearance point of view, the Wang Fatzi played by Huang Bo is inconsistent with the original work, but he relies on acting skills to make up for a lot.
Not only does it shape the character of the original character very fully, but it also plays out the inner anger of the character.
And the control of the laughter point is also very good, like poor mouth, do not accept defeat, love to fight and other behaviors are quite similar to the original.
The only fly in the ointment is that Huang Bo did not perform the essence of Wang Fatzi - thick and thin.
It may be that the screenwriter has made a drastic adaptation in order to make the character more suitable for the story, so that the character has lost a lot of characteristics.
02. The most greedy wang fat man - Zhao Da, representative work "Jingjie Ancient City"
Since the birth of "The Essence of the Ghost Blowing Lantern", the weight of this drama in the heart of the lamp is not generally high.
Whether it is the story or the characters, it is very much in line with the original book.
And Wang Fatzi, played by Zhao Da, dare not say how good it is, but it is definitely not bad.
At the beginning of filming, in order to make Zhao Da's image more in line with the original work.
For this reason, he was dressed in special clothes and had a curly hair permed, so that he would look more fat.
Moreover, in the play, Zhao Da's acting skills also played the role of Wang Fatzi into three points, and in order to get close to the character image, he specially gained 35 pounds.
The fat man in the original work is very brave and shrewd, not afraid of danger and dares to take the lead, and the most important thing is to love greed and cheapness.
These character traits are reflected in the play.
If you have to pick a little fault out, it may only be as interesting as the body shape difference.
Among the many works in the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series, this drama is relatively successful.
Because of this, Wang Fatzi, played by Zhao Da, also provides a place for reference for subsequent works.
03. The funniest Wang Fatzi - Jiang Chao, masterpiece "Longling Labyrinth", "Yunnan Worm Valley"
On the body shape alone, Jiang Chao's version of Wang Fatzi is undoubtedly the most in line with the original work.
Due to the well-made "Dragon Ridge Labyrinth", Jiang Chao seems to have tailored it for the role of "Wang Fatzi".
In the play, Wang Fatzi, played by Jiang Chao, is strong and resistant to beating, with a greasy mouth and a slippery tongue in his mouth, and there are more flowers and intestines in his brain than anyone, but the appearance is rough and the heart is very delicate.
And Jiang Chao's acting skills are also very remarkable, although he has starred in "The Legend of Wulin" and is well known to the audience, but the image of "Li Dazui" has not appeared in the slightest.
The slightly pompous performance also makes the whole play full of jokes, and can conquer the audience every minute.
Most importantly, the Wang Fatzi he plays in the play is very natural and will not give the audience a feeling of forced buying and selling.
And Jiang Chao, Pan Yueming and Zhang Yuqi, composed of a new gold and iron triangle, will fully display the style of the original work.
Of course, Jiang Chao's version of Wang Fat Zi is not without flaws.
In "Yunnan Worm Valley", Jiang Chao's acting skills are still speechless, but in the play, he has become a foil for Pan Yueming.
You know, wang fatzi in the original work is definitely not Hu Bayi's small follower, and he can also be alone at key moments.
04. The most inconsistent with the original work of Wang Fatzi - Liu Chao, representative work "Yellow Skin Tomb"
Not to mention, how well this drama is filmed, the character image alone has made many light filaments complain.
And Wang Fatzi, played by Liu Chao, feels thinner than Hu Bayi, which is far from the original work.
Not only that, Liu Chao did not perform the essence of Wang Fatzi.
To have the courage to have no guts, to encounter danger immediately six gods and no master, to run faster than anyone.
Moreover, Wang Fatzi in the original work is a person who loves to poke Lou Zi, but Liu Chao is like an obedient boy.
In short, this version of Wang Fatzi, look at Yan OK, other aspects are not worth mentioning.
05. The most pompous Wang FatZi - Zhao Leiqi, representative work "Ghost Blowing Lantern Dragon Ridge Labyrinth"
This version of Wang Fat zi is indeed fat, and there is still no big problem in appearance.
However, this version loses in acting.
First of all, because the play itself is shoddily made, the characters in the original book are randomly adapted.
Zhao Leiqi's acting skills are more exaggerated, and playing Wang Fatzi will appear to be a bit dramatic, making the audience look very embarrassed.
At the critical moment, Zhao Leiqi's performance could not be let go, and his expression was more serious than that of the villain.
Moreover, the humorous side of Wang Fatzi and the characteristics of not panicking in the face of things have long been lost in the movie.
06. The most non-existent Wang Fatzi - Feng Grain, representative work "Nine-Story Demon Tower"
Strictly speaking, "Nine-Story Demon Tower" cannot be regarded as the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series, but more like a fan work.
From the story to the characters, the film is already far from the setting of the novel.
And Wang Fatzi, played by Feng Grain, simply can't bear to look directly.
First of all, in the aura, it has been 18,000 miles away from the fat master in the original work, without a trace of domineering and tiger qi.
Secondly, in terms of acting, it is incompatible with other actors and cannot be integrated into the story.
Finally, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is basically a dispensable role, which has become the background board of Hu Bayi.
It may be because the fame of Feng Grain itself is not as good as Zhao Youting, Yao Chen, Tang Yan and others in the film, so the sense of existence in the movie is quite low.
Of course, in addition to the above actors, many people have also played the role of Wang Fatzi.
For example, in the movie version of "Yunnan Worm Valley", Yu Heng played Wang Fatzi in the film.
Before the release of the film, many viewers were full of expectations for this movie, and Yu Heng even gained 30 pounds in a month in order to gain weight.
As a result, not only did the movie suck badly, but Yu Heng's acting skills also became the object of the audience's complaints.
Overall, from the perspective of popularity, Jiang Chao and Zhao Da are the best Wang Fatzi in the hearts of the audience.
Other versions are either swollen faces and fat, or feel very dramatic, or they don't know what they're acting at all.
In my opinion, if the image and personality of Jiang Chao and Zhao Da in the play are synthesized, it may be the Wang Fatzi who is most in line with the original work.
