In the 1990s, when martial arts TV dramas were popular, not only Jin Yong dramas, but also the works of Gu Long and Liang Yusheng were also put on the screen.
In 1996, singapore television agencies cooperated with Shanghai Television Innovative Television Production Company to combine Liang Yusheng's famous books "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "The Legend of Saiwai Qixia" and "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" to create a 21-episode martial arts drama "Saiwai Qixia".
Perhaps to circumvent copyright issues, Singapore's martial arts dramas seem to like to piece together plots, piecing together the plots of two or three martial arts novels or movies.
Like the "Lotus Battle" introduced by Pi Ge last time, it combined Gu Long's "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and Jin Yong's movie "Smiling Proud of jianghu 2: Undefeated in the East" and "The Undefeated Rise of the East" into one.
This drama combines Liang Yusheng's three novels "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "The Legend of saiwai Qixia" and "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" into one, with the stories of three generations of white-haired witches practicing neon dress, Hamaya and Yi Lanzhu as a clue, which is also the first time that a martial arts drama has appeared with a female protagonist in a martial arts drama.
As a co-production between the Mainland and Singapore, it premiered on Shanghai Oriental Television in our mainland on February 6, 1996.
Since then, this drama series has also been broadcast on various television stations across the country, causing quite a stir, and the theme song of the play, "Heavenly Love", and the interlude "Lotus in the Snow" have also spread throughout the north and south of the river.
Most of the martial arts dramas of that year were filmed in real time, and the filming location of this drama was as far as the Tianshan Mountains, Turpan Basin, glaciers, Nanshan pastures and other locations in Xinjiang.
Although the special effects technology and shooting methods at that time were slightly rough, the spectacular scene of the motherland's great rivers and mountains was still much higher than the shed effect of tvB martial arts dramas in the same period.
The theme song in the play is "Heavenly Love" composed by Zhang Hongliang; the ending song is "Reunion" sung by Wu Xuwen and sung by Guan Shuyi; the interludes include "Lovers in the World" by Zhou Huajian and Qi Yu; "Lotus in the Snow" sung by Huang Min and Wang Fei; "Chaos" sung by Lin Mingyang and Guan Shuyi, all of which are full of martial arts flavor songs.
In addition to the characters in the play, in addition to the characteristics of the three heroines, Chu Zhaonan, played by Shen Huihao, has also been praised and is considered to be the most suitable image of Chu Zhaonan in the original work so far; Zhuo Yihang, played by Wen Wenqing, is both handsome and extraordinary, and is also loved by the audience; and Yang Yunqi, played by Qin Wei, hovers between two women and has also become the scumbag representative in the audience's heart.
Born 25 years ago, this Singaporean drama is still praised by mainland audiences for its excellent quality, but many of the actors in the play have retired.
Since most of them are Singaporean actors, it is even difficult for us to find too much information on the Internet, and Pigo will tell you about the actors who can find their destinations.
1. Huang Biren (practicing neon clothes).
Lian Ni Pei was a disciple of Ling Muhua, the leader of the green forest in southern Shaanxi, a heroine of the Anti-Qing Dynasty, and founded the Southern Branch of the Tianshan Sect. She is rebellious and fierce, and her love with Zhuo Yihang is fruitless and white-headed. The book says that she lived to be 100 years old and was buried with Zhuo Yihang after her death, and the Lian Ni Xie in the play was eventually buried in the ice valley with Zhuo Yihang.
Although the 1993 version of Lin Qingxia's version of the white-haired witch is very stunning, Huang Biren's version is not to mention more. Born in 1969, Singaporean Chinese actress Huang Biren is a native of Fujian, and officially debuted in 1988 after graduating from the 8th actor training class hosted by Xinguang, and her tall figure and beautiful appearance quickly won the love of the audience.
The exposed sharpness of Huang Biren's body is very suitable for the domineering temperament of Lian Ni, so the image of Lian Ni Pei she created is more in line with the original work. After this drama, she successfully portrayed the virtuous wife Lin Wenyu in "Family Appointment"; the cold murderer Ye Ning in "The Truth"; and the simple and capable Wang Suzhi in "Thirty Wind and Rain Road".
These classic images have earned her several times the Star Award for Best Actress on Singapore Television. In addition, Huang Biren has also hosted programs such as "Happy Quintet", "Afternoon Leisure Golden Years", and "Entrepreneurship Invincible". However, in recent years, she has rarely appeared, and as she has grown older, she has gradually withdrawn from the show business circle.
2. Huang Yanfang (Hamaya)
Hamaya is a proud apprentice who practices neil, and her riding and sword skills are both exquisite, because she often wears a red scarf to travel north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and is nicknamed "Flying Red Turban". In the play, Hamaya is the heroine with the most ink, she falls in love with Yang Yunqiao, but Yang Yunxiao is also entangled in Nalan Minghui and gives birth to a daughter, Yi Lanzhu. Eventually, the two broke up, and Hamaya also had a white head overnight.
Huang Yanfang's appearance is not that of a very stunning beauty, she has a little tooth decay, her skin is relatively dark, with obvious Singaporean characteristics, but her eyebrows are clear and beautiful. Although her achievements in the show business circle are not as good as Huang Biren's, she has also created many classic roles, and in 1996, she also won the Star Award for Top Ten Most Popular Artists.
Huang Later played Tian Feifei in the TV series "True Heart Boy"; played the little dragon girl Zhu'er in "The White Snake's Afterlife"; and played Li Xiaoman in "The Story of Ah Lang", all of which are the audience's favorite characters. Now Huang Has quit show business for many years and has opened a nail care center.
3. Guo Shuxian (Nalan Minghui, Yi Lanzhu)
Yi Lanzhu was born to Nalan Minghui and Yang Yunxiao. In the original work, when Yang Yunxuan found Nalan Minghui, Nalan Minghui was already preparing to marry Duoduo, unwilling to go with him, and only let him take away the daughter of the two, Yi Lanzhu. Later, Yang Yunqiu was killed by Qi Zhenjun's apprentice Niu Yuanyuan on the Qiantang River, and Yi Lanzhu became The Righteous Daughter of Hamaya and the apprentice grandson of Lian Ni.
In the play, Guo Shuxian single-handedly played Nalan Minghui and Yi Lanzhu mother and daughter, two characters with completely different personalities. One is an introverted and cowardly, gentle and dignified famous girl; the other is a heroine with martial arts and a strong personality, but Guo Shuxian can easily control it.
Although Guo Shuxian was born in Singapore, her ancestral home is also Guangdong. She debuted in 1993, and before this drama, she had a prominent performance in "Kunlun Nu", playing Zhang Ying, a girl dressed in white. In 1998, he co-starred with Wan Ziliang in the business war drama "Stranger", playing the rich family Qianjin Dong Qianqian. She is also a household singer and presenter in Singapore.
Guo Shuxian is still active in the show business circle, but there are not many excellent works in the past two years. Born in 1973, she is also 48 years old this year, but due to regular exercise and maintenance, her face is still as beautiful as a girl.
4. Original Wenqing (Zhuo Yihang)
The three heroines in this drama have all been hurt by scumbags, and the first scumbag is Zhuo Yihang. Zhuo Yihang is the son of Zhuo Jixian, a servant of the Household Department, who was originally a son of the family and the future head of Wudang, carrying responsibilities that are difficult to give up. Therefore, even if Lian NiSheng can give up everything for love, Zhuo Yihang cannot give the same return, and their love is destined to end in tragedy.
Although most of the audience does not like Zhuo Yihang, Pi Ge still likes to play Zhuo Yihang's original text Qing. I remember that I have introduced before that Yuan Wenqing is a member of the Shanxi Provincial Wushu Team, one of the "Top Ten Martial Stars in China", nicknamed "The Prince of Wushu", and his status in the martial arts world is not inferior to Jet Li. In 1996, Yuan Heping discovered the original text of Qing to star in "The Street Killer of Iron Horse 2", thus debuting.
Original Wenqing and Zhen Zidan are paired, and their skills are more than enough compared with masters such as Zhen Zidan, Zhou Billy, and Zhang Jianli. Although this film is not a success, Yuan Wenqing has been given the opportunity to develop further, playing the male number one in this drama. Pigo has always felt that his appearance is very similar to Zheng Shaoqiu, and he has great potential for development in the show business circle.
Unfortunately, after starring in this drama, he returned to school to go to graduate school, and after graduating in 2000, he became the martial arts principal of the Shizhushan Wenwu School in Fujian Province. In 2003, he returned to his hometown of Shanxi and founded the Original QingWen Wu School, which is still focused on teaching martial arts.
In 2005, Yuan Wenqing participated in the TV series "Chivalrous Danxin" directed by Ju Jueliang, playing Yu Wenxiong; in 2006, he starred in Chen Xunqi's movie "Little Hero of Kung Fu", playing Chen Lei, the master brother of the split door. But these performances are just playing soy sauce, and Yuan Wenqing doesn't seem to care about the development of the film and television circle.
However, for film fans, with such good conditions and resources, it is a pity that The original text qing did not focus on the development of film and television.
5. Qin Wei (Yang Yunxiao)
Yang Yunxiao was killed by Niu Yuanyuan in the original work, but he let him survive in the play, but he pretended to be dead for more than ten years from then on, and did not appear until the plot needed it, which is also the reason why this character was scolded the most. Compared with Yang Yunxiao, Duo Duo and Chu Zhaonan, who appeared as villains, made people feel liked.
Qin Wei, who plays Yang Yunxiao, is actually a Taiwanese actor, and the classic drama "The Legend of the New White Lady", which we like after the 80s, is the first TV series he debuted, and there are not many scenes in the play, playing the spirit deer boy. He has also participated in Major Tv's "Bao Qingtian", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "The Legend of Liu Bowen" and other major dramas, and has a great reputation in the Chinese-speaking circle.
After joining the Singapore television agency, Qin Wei became one of the "Flying Dragon Five" of New Vision, but terminated his contract with New Media (which was later renamed by New Vision) in 2000. He used to be in the used car business, but the impact of the 911 incident in the United States caused the business to be frustrated, so he had to close his doors. Later, he actually saw through the red dust and became a monk in Indonesia.
Due to their age, many actors are now unheard of. But this series is now revisited, and you can still find the majestic flavor of the old martial arts drama.
Three generations of white-haired witches, each generation's love story is unforgettable, and the various rights and wrongs between the previous generation and the next generation are complex and intriguing.
A night of whiteheads is an exaggeration of art, but it is also a manifestation of love to the extreme.
Lian Ni Bao, Hamaya and Yi Lanzhu are all extremely affectionate, they represent the most ideal female image, and their dedication to love is also shocking. In addition to these three people, Zhuo Yihang, Yang Yunxiao, Zhang Huazhao, Duo Duo, Chu Zhaonan, Xin Longzi, Nalan Minghui and other characters are also impressive.
