When it comes to the peak of the appearance of the costume drama, it belongs to the 87 version of "Liaozhai".
This "Liaozhai TV Series", filmed and broadcast at the same time, from 87 to 90 years, presented more than 50 classic stories to the audience.
Whether it is the plot, the costume and the actors, they can be called the top match at that time.
For objective reasons, classic plays such as "Painted Skin" and "Ghost of Qiannu" have not been able to meet with the audience, which is indeed a big loss.
In addition to these classic stories, what many viewers don't know is that two stories were deleted at the beginning, namely "Fengyang Shiren" and "Water Mangcao".
Nowadays, the clip of "Fengyang Shiren" has reappeared in the sky, which has made many viewers excited.
01, removed because it is too scary?
As to why these two stories were deleted, there has been a lot of debate on the Internet.
The first is that the two stories are too scary to be adapted into a TV series.
First, let's talk about "Water Grass".
The story is indeed terrifying, but it reflects human nature.
In the generation of the Taohua River, there was a poisonous weed called water mangweed, and if people accidentally ate it, they would become water ghosts.
The water ghost, on the other hand, cannot be reincarnated unless it is designed for others to drink, so that it can be reincarnated and reborn.
And where the story takes place, there are many such water ghosts.
Below (Waterweed Script)
The male protagonist is called Zhu Sheng, who accidentally ate waterweed because he was seduced by a beautiful woman.
Is it to find a substitute, or not to hurt others?
The male protagonist's approach is to find a third way, instead of looking for a substitute, it is better to let all people get rid of this curse.
The story is still very interesting.
And "Fengyang Shiren" starring Zhang Li is a very incredible story.
The husband is out and the wife is at home alone.
She missed her husband so much that she had a dream at night.
She cheated in front of her husband and was stoned by her brother.
What's even more amazing is that by the time her husband and brother returned, all three of them had the same dream.
Pu Songling is very good at writing dreams, and such a bizarre dream plot really makes people's backs chill.
The two stories are still very scary, and there are many concerns about filming into a TV series.
However, in the 87th edition of "Liaozhai", it is not uncommon for more terrifying stories than these two editions.
For example, "Haunted House" and "Plum Girl" were not filmed as they were?
The scale of 30 years ago was still very large.
This argument does not seem to stand up.
The real reason why these two stories were filmed but deleted is because they are "not very artistic".
02, Zhang Li and Wang Luyao
"Fengyang Shiren" is starring Zhang Li and Wang Luyao.
Wang Luyao is the actor who starred in Miao Ruolan in Gong Cien's version of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".
Very well-behaved.
Later, she also starred in the atmospheric Madame Wang in "Tianlong Eight Parts", which left a deep impression on the audience.
Her interpretation of Yang Guifei is also very stunning.
In "Fengyang Shiren", she starred as a little fox who can sing and dance.
Zhang Li is very familiar to everyone, and has starred in the old version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the dignified and general Xue Baochao.
I have become an idol of many people.
Originally, she was assigned the role of Yingchun, but Zhang Li passed the layers of selection and finally won the female number two.
Regardless of appearance and temperament, it is very outstanding.
Coupled with the fact that Zhang Li and Xue Baochao's temperament were very close.
She is full of poetry and books, gentle and atmospheric, and the image of Bao's sister is almost one.
This role has also become her masterpiece.
Unfortunately, after starring in "Liaozhai", she studied abroad and faded out of the screen.
The 87 version of "Liaozhai" almost gathered all the first-line female stars at that time.
He Qing, Chen Hong, Qu Ying, Ru Ping and others have only appeared in one or two episodes.
And if "Fengyang Shiren" is not deleted, then Zhang Li will have another heavyweight representative work.
In "Fengyang Shiren", Zhang Li released her own stills.
Dressed in white, she danced and was amazed.
Although the video data at that time was not very clear, I could still see and feel her style.
Even more beautiful than the Xue Baochao she played.
"Amorous parting from ancient wounds", Zhang Li interpreted the image of a wife who missed her husband very well.
Let people see the style of Zhang Li's sister 35 years ago.
The two heroines were amazed and regretted to be hidden in the snow for 35 years.
