In Mr. Jin Yong's pen, he has depicted many beautiful women with countless manners. In terms of popularity, huang Rong, Xiaolongnü, Zhao Min, Ren Yingying, and other popular works of women are naturally among the best, but if you want to say who is the most beautiful one in Jin Yong's pen, there is no doubt that it is Princess Xiangxiang, and even Mr. Jin Yong has admitted that Princess Xiangxiang is the most beautiful female character in his pen. But a little regret, although "Book of Swords and Vengeance" has been remade in many versions, such a heavenly woman, the casting has never satisfied the audience.
Under Mr. Jin Yong's pen, Princess Xiangxiang's appearance has reached the point of almost exaggeration. In the book, it is described that she is beautiful and matchless, radiant, and full of autumn waves, and Sakura's mouth is moving, as if she wants to walk down from the painting. Just by looking at these descriptions, we can already imagine how amazing Princess Xiangxiang's appearance has become. What is even more incredible is that when she stood in front of the two armies, the soldiers who were originally fighting actually stopped all because of her appearance, and looking at all jin Yong's works, only Princess Xiangxiang could achieve such a point.
Although "Book of Swords and Vengeance" is not a popular work, it has also remade many versions, which means that many actors have played Princess Xiangxiang. But what is surprising is that in so many versions of the Book of Swords and Vengeance, the actor of Princess Xiangxiang never seems to be satisfied.
In 1960, Emei Film Company put the story of "Book sword and vengeance" on the screen for the first time, and the actor who played Princess Xiangxiang was Rong Xiaoyi, who also became the first actor to play Princess Xiangxiang. However, this version is really too old, most people have not seen it, Rong Xiaoyi's appearance can be said to be very dignified, but it is obvious that it is inconsistent with the description of Princess Xiangxiang's heavenly posture and national color.
In 1976, the first TV series version of "Book sword and vengeance" was born, with Yu An'an playing Princess Xiangxiang. Yu An'an is Zhou Runfa's ex-wife in real life, and her most famous role is the poetry in "Laughing proud of the east undefeated".
Yu An'an is a beautiful woman, but not the kind of beauty that people traditionally think of. I believe that many people will not associate her with Princess Xiangxiang after seeing her appearance.
In 1987, two editions of "Book of Swords and Vengeance" were met with the audience. The film version is called "Gobi En's Vendetta", directed by Xu Anhua, starring Zhang Duofu, Ai Nuer, Liu Jia, Da Shichang and so on.
Although this movie is not very famous, it is commendable that director Xu Anhua found Uyghur actor Ai Nur to play Princess Xiangxiang, which has a natural advantage over other versions. But because Mr. Jin Yong portrayed Princess Xiangxiang too perfectly, this version still did not meet the expectations of many viewers.
The TVB drama version of "Book Sword and Vengeance" is played by Liang Peiling as Princess Xiangxiang, and Liang Peiling's appearance as Feng Yun, Ren Yingying, Lin Chaoying and other beautiful women in Jin Yong's pen have no problems, but they are not suitable for Princess Xiangxiang. The reason is simple, or in appearance can not meet the audience's expectations.
In the 1990s, two editions of "Book of Swords and Vengeance" were met with the audience, which were filmed by Taiwan Province of China and Chinese mainland. In the 1992 Taiwanese tv version of "Book of Swords and Enmity", the actor Fu Juan played Princess Xiangxiang, and in reality she was also the mother of actor Ouyang Nana. But to tell you the truth, Fu Juan's appearance has a kind of Mickey Mouse-like cuteness, which is really not related to the role of Princess Xiangxiang, and I don't know how the crew chose the role that year?
The 1994 edition of "Book of Swords and Vengeance" is the earliest Jin Yong drama in the mainland, in which the actor Yang Xiaohan plays Princess Xiangxiang. The plot of this version is generally very much following the original work, but Yang Xiaohan is still far from the description of Princess Xiangxiang in temperament, so she is not the Princess Xiangxiang in people's hearts.
2002 Yan Yingsi version of Xiangxiang Princess is the version that makes Xiaobian most resentful, this bad skin, big nostrils, dead fish-like eyes, you tell this is Xiangxiang Princess? Tease me?
In 2009, the Xiangxiang Princess played by Ying'er in "Book of Swords and Vengeance" is generally one that makes me relatively satisfied, after all, I have experienced the fright of Yan Yingsi's version before, and Ying'er's appearance has more or less soothed my fragile soul. But to tell the truth, although this version of The Fragrant Princess has passed the pass overall, there is still a certain gap from the appearance of the Fragrant Princess that I expected in my heart.
Interestingly, the role of Princess Xiangxiang that I am really satisfied with in my heart does not actually appear in "Book of Swords and Enmity", but in other works, she is Liu Dan, who plays Xiangfei in "Huan Zhu Gege". According to Mr. Jin Yong's description, we can roughly infer that Princess Xiangxiang was actually created based on the "Xiangfei", but unfortunately Liu Danjia has passed away, and we can only recall the amazing beauty of this beautiful actress from previous works.
The reason why so many versions of "Book of Swords and Vengeance" have not been able to shoot the xiangxiang princess that the audience is satisfied with, on the one hand, is that the casting of the crew is not careful, on the other hand, it is because Mr. Jin Yong portrays this role too perfectly, and it is difficult to find such an actor to play this role in reality. After all, the role of a heavenly immortal can only appear in the heavens, so how can mortals easily imitate it?
