To be honest, the news of the remake of the 2001 version of "Looking for Qin" has been continuous, and as an old film fan, I really hope that this classic can continue.
But it is also a TV series, after the release of "In Search of Qin" starring Chen Xiang in 2018, I really don't know what words to use to describe it.
Douban 2.3 is the lowest rating I have ever seen, it is really hot eyes, and netizens are also scolding.
The news of the film version of "In Search of Qin" was recently released, and it suddenly boiled over.
I have already watched the trailer and can guarantee that this time there will be no "rollover".
Although I don't know when it will be released, I can afford to wait for the sake of the original team.
"Frozen age" should be a major selling point of the movie version of "In Search of Qin".
It is known from the press releases of the world's next film company that use words such as "frozen age duel".
In fact, since the official announcement will continue to use the TV version of the original team to perform, I am surprised and happy.
"Hi" of course, is because of the original taste, no need to see the strange new Xiang Shaolong, Xin Yizheng, new Wu Tingfang, etc., full of intimacy.
Not only the original team has returned, but even the soundtrack is the same!
As for "shock", naturally because everyone is a little old, we are no longer the teenagers in front of the TV, what will happen to the actors off the screen?
It is true that the protagonists of the movie version, such as Gu Tianle, Lin Feng, XuanXuan, Guo Xianni and others, are all well-known frozen age artists.
Blame, only blame the old version is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The audience has not seen the new version of the stills for a day, and they have not been assured for a day.
Fortunately, as soon as the official announcement came out, everyone could rest assured.
Xiang Shaolong and Yin Zheng in addition to a more mature taste, basically no big difference, the surprise is that Xiang Shaolong still has that modern T-shirt.
Presumably there are many nostalgic Easter eggs.
And female characters such as Wu Tingfang and Qin Qing are still charming and full of immortality.
Gu Tianle and Xuan Xuan, the hottest screen couple 20 years ago, can be reunited again, and this wave of memories is a bit sweet.
Many media immediately compared the old and new versions of the actors, and at a glance, in addition to the traces of the years, it is completely impossible to see that 20 years have passed.
Therefore, witnessing the reverse growth of this class of frozen age people is already a big reason for me to buy tickets.
Crossing plots are not uncommon in today's Chinese and Korean dramas, but when it comes to the originator of cross-over dramas, "In Search of Qin" is the best.
After all, the novel was published by Huang Yi in 1994, and the martial arts crossing plot of that year was unprecedented.
Film producer Gu Tianle regarded Huang Yi as a mentor, and when Huang Yi died in 2017, Gu Tianle wrote a tribute on social platforms.
"In Search of Qin" allowed Gu Tianle to win the Emperor of Vision, and also became a divine drama.
Therefore, in order to pay tribute to the teacher, the new version of "Looking for Qin" has been preparing for many years, and the famous Taiwanese screenwriter Zhang Jialu has been found to write a script, his last set of works is "Finding the Dragon Recipe", he has participated in "The Sound of the Wind", "Mei Lanfang", "Di Renjie" series and other films, and the quality and reputation are guaranteed.
Take everyone back to the end of the TV series "In Search of Qin".
Yin Zheng hunted down and killed Xiang Shaolong, and Yin Zheng ordered the burning of books to pit Confucianism, erasing Xiang Shaolong from history and returning history to the right path.
This time the film version of the story is a completely new creation, continuing from the TV version. From 19 years after the ending.
At this time, Win Zheng had unified the six kingdoms, and Xiang Shaolong and his wives returned to the countryside.
The story unfolds as the new villain Ken travels back to the Qin Kingdom and is bound to change history.
Although only a 40-second trailer was released, just a few words of dialogue, it still gave the audience a wave of memory killing.
The trailer reveals the contradictory struggle between Xiang Shaolong and Yingzheng after 20 years apart.
Yin Zheng said to Xiang Shaolong, "Whoever doesn't believe in me, the king will kill him." ”
Xiang Shaolong: "Can you spare my family?" ”
"Now that the people in your hometown refuse to let go of the widows, do you still think that the widows are apprentices?" ”
Finally, Yin Zheng swung his sword at Xiang Shaolong: "All the grievances have since been broken." ”
The original mentor and friend, the teacher-apprentice grudge has become more and more white-hot.
The trailer first exposes the two people into water and fire, Xiang Shaolong holds a pistol, and takes his family to escape From Yingzheng's pursuit in the smoke forest.
Family members include Wu Tingfang, played by Xuan Xuan, Qin Qing, played by Guo Xianni, Xiang Bao'er, played by Zhu Jianran, and Teng Yi played by Huang Wenbiao.
Gu Tianle played Xiang Shaolong in that year, from a dancing teenager to a white-haired middle-aged man today.
Not only Gu Zai, but also Ou Ruiwei, who plays the housekeeper of Wujiabao, also looks a lot older.
In this movie version, Xiang Shaolong and Yin Zheng will stage a lot more scenes of master-apprentice enmity and hatred.
Xuanxuan danced the sword in a scene where the posture did not diminish that year.
Guo Xianni is well maintained, and there is not much difference from the shape of Qin Qing in that year.
The role of Shanrou, played by Teng Liming, actually has a lot of room to play, and the TV drama version failed to see her and Xiang Shaolong together, and I don't know if I can see their stories in the movie version.
Looking back on these 20 years, we have seen a lot of messy crossover dramas, and we really need a high-quality script to make us regain interest.
Now you can get a glimpse of what the new "Quest for Qin" "Tribute to Huang Yi" looks like.
The appearance of the film version of "In Search of Qin" is undoubtedly the best endorsement of Hong Kong's local film production.
In recent years, many people have said that Hong Kong cinema is dead.
They believe that pure Hong Kong people are making fewer and fewer films, local elements are getting lighter and lighter, and the subject matter is becoming more and more limited, all of which reveal that Hong Kong movies are moving towards chronic death.
But with Zeng Guoxiang's "Young You" nominated for the Oscar for Best International Film, it is really inspiring again.
Hong Kong movies are not only not dead, but also Xiao Yangchun!
Nowadays, the addition of "In Search of Qin" is bound to bring a wave of good box office results.
But it's actually a pity.
At the same time that almost all the original crew of the TV series returned, only Jiang Hua, who played Lian Jin, was missing.
In the TV series version, Jiang Hua is the second protagonist.
Jiang Hua vividly interpreted the cold, poisonous, narrow-minded and other mental changes of Lian Jin's role.
Not only the tone of the lines, but even the walking action is completely in line with the character.
Lian Jin is not a likable character, but his sense of existence is extremely strong.
For example, when he did bad things at the beginning, to the steps of being expelled by the giant deer Hou after being picked off by the tendons, and later dedicating Wu Tingfang to the real Concubine Yi, it was simply disgusting to the audience, and at the same time developed the emperor-level acting skills.
Jiang Hua's acting skills are beyond doubt, he graduated from the ATV art training class in 1986 and entered the film and television circle, and in 1990, he won the Best New Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards with the movie "I Wish People Are Long", and his representative works in the ATV period include "I Have a Date with Spring".
In 1996, he overtook TVB and performed Tang Monk in "Journey to the West" and received unanimous praise.
2000's "In Search of Qin" and 2003's "95 Supreme" made his acting skills more played.
Among them, "95 Supreme" set an average of 40 points at that time, the highest rating record of 46 points, Jiang Hua also won the "Hong Kong Audience's Favorite TV Role Award", but unfortunately in 2004, after acting in "Chu Han Jiaoxiong", he left TVB to return to the mainland to shoot a drama to bid farewell to Hong Kong audiences.
Later, he returned to Hong Kong to pursue a career in the insurance industry.
Although Jiang Hua has faded out, in recent years, he has been active on social platforms, often updating "Wisdom Language Sharing" on social platforms to share his views on life.
On May 1, 2018, he updated weibo and said that he would not shoot casually in order to earn living expenses.
Many netizens have gathered their strength to ask Jiang Hua to join, hoping to create another classic.
The film version of "In Search of Qin" only owes Jiang Hua, and the audience is full of regrets, but Jiang Hua expressed his views in an interview with the media earlier:
Feeling that a TV series or movie can become a classic in the minds of the audience is already exciting, thinking that there is no need to reshoot, and pointing out that all the actors are already old.
However, if you think about it carefully, even the two roles of Jin and Yan Yi have been "ended", and the movie version cannot be added.
Or the old saying, it is better to see each other than to miss, this role, this name, we will never forget.
--END--
