"Green Snake: Frontier", starring Gillian, has been at the top of the online movie account list for 6 consecutive days.
The cool Qingming file of theatrical movies that have been withdrawn, the performance of this fantasy love network movie, has actually become the biggest highlight in the market.
The most amazing thing about the film is the pure and desired green snake played by Ajiao, and some netizens commented: On the appearance alone, it can be called the ceiling of the previous green snakes.
In recent years, Gillian's appearance has actually encountered controversy, from the appearance of Fa Fu in the variety show being ridiculed by the group, to a "Fengshen God: Daji", which was spat on as "meat dressed as a concubine", the media are asking, 41-year-old Gillian, can she still find the look of the year?
A "Green Snake: Frontier" is actually Gillian's answer.
Dreamy and confused wonderland world, Xiaoqing frolicking in the water, the lake surface is filled with a faint mist, the water ripples, and the beauty looks back, it is simply a glance of ten thousand years.
Over the years, the role of the green snake is the magnifying glass of the film and television circle, beautiful or not, and it is known at a glance. Previously, there have been at least nine versions of the green snake performed by well-known actresses, but in the story of "Green Snake: Frontier", which tells the story of XiaoQing's fantasy love before meeting Bai Suzhen, Ah Jiao has created another one. She and Daoqing, played by Lin Youwei, staged a happy thing with a lover, don't ask whether it is a robbery or a fate.
After reading it, I sighed in my heart, it turns out that the green snake really does not have to be as charming as Maggie Cheung, or as beautiful as Maggie Chen, or as ancient as baby, it turns out that it can also be the appearance of Ajiao.
Only by understanding these nine versions of the green snake with various styles will you really understand why Ah Jiao created a pure and desired - green snake.
Nine versions put together, you can understand why Gillian has to act pure and desired
The version that old audiences are most familiar with is the "green snake" played by Chen Meiqi in "The Legend of the New White Lady".
But few people know that Chen Meiqi also played the white snake. Two years before the filming of "The Legend of the New White Lady", TVB ace producer Wang Tianlin, that is, Wang Jing's father, filmed a "Fantasy World", with Shao Meiqi playing the green snake and Chen Meiqi playing the white snake.
The impression is that Shao Meiqi played the royal sister, in fact, when she was young, she was a big beauty who could not open her eyes, this version of the green snake is perfect, the appearance is willful and kind and soft, and the appearance is also sweet and sassy.
Instead, Chen Meiqi's white snake became a villain, and he did everything bad for the handsome and half-hearted man played by Wu Dairong, and the thousand-year cultivation was exhausted. The fantasy dramas of that year can actually hang many fairy tale dramas 30 years later, but the age is too early, and the audiences with impressions are old.
In 1992, Zhao Yazhi's version of "The Legend of the New White Lady" was a Taiwanese drama, and the director felt that she would not string dramas and let Chen Meiqi continue to play the green snake, in fact, she was 32 years old at that time.
This version of the green snake has no independent story line, and assists Xu Xian and the White Lady throughout the whole process, but it is astute and bold and agile, and although the appearance is not as good as the white snake, the audience is too good. But looking back, it's actually a little wrong, this green snake is too unlike a snake spirit.
Later, because of Guan Zhilin's intervention, Chen Meiqi suffered a miscarriage, inability to have children, and divorced a wealthy businessman. Later, she remarried the wealthy American businessman Xin Shangyong and adopted a daughter, and among the various versions of the green snake, she is also the most twisted starring in the actual fate.
The most enchanting green snake is the Maggie Cheung version.
In 1993, Xu Ke looked for Lin Qingxia, Gong Li and Jet Li to shoot "Green Snake", and as a result, when the shooting began, the starring role was changed, Wang Zuxian played the white snake, Maggie Cheung played the green snake, and Fahai found a newcomer Zhao Wenzhuo.
But good things will be remembered by the times, and this "Green Snake", which tossed Xu Ke enough, has become a peak of Hong Kong films, whether it is from the entry point of the script, the performance of the actors, or the bold and avant-garde makeup.
Xu Ke can also really shoot beauty, and the classic Hong Kong film "Dawei Tianlong" can also benefit Yan Dog, which is really powerful.
This version of the art and shape has added points to the style of the green snake, and the green snake is more concerned about the appearance of the green snake under the beautiful and eerie atmosphere. The audience will never forget Maggie Cheung's writhing body on the deck and smiling charmingly at Xu Xian.
Maggie Cheung also played the contradictions of the role, behind the beauty and charm, the personality is innocent, to the finale she stabbed Xu Xian with a sword, struggle, pain, despair have been experienced, only to truly have humanity.
The most shouldered shape is definitely the green snake played by Chen Zihan in Liu Tao's version of "The Legend of the White Snake".
Honestly speaking, this version of Liu Tao's style is fine, Chen Zihan's style is almost like offending the stylist, but Chen Zihan actually relied on his appearance to carry it hard. The character of this green snake is also a little overly agile and too sloppy, but the audience looks at this face, what can be done, of course, to forgive her.
Years later, liu Tao acted and no one remembered, but Chen Zihan's version of the green snake was remembered.
The most cute green snake should be the version played by Xiao Yan in Ju Jingyi's version of "The Legend of the New White Lady".
This version of the green snake is the most lively, cute, and unworldly of each version, and can be called the sunshine girl in the demon world.
Xiao Yan's acting skills are actually very good, and she also has aura, the problem is that she is too aura, saying that she can play anyone, but it is not like a green snake.
The most regrettable version is definitely Zhang Yuhui in "The Legend of the Green Snake".
This version is also a feast of appearance, Zhang Yuhui plays the green snake, Fan Wenfang plays the white snake, Jiao Enjun plays Fahai, and Li Mingshun plays the King of Wu.
In the end, the story is also quite Mary Sue, the green snake incarnation is always accompanied by Fahai, and it is thunderous and touching.
The problem with this version is that Zhang Yuyi's appearance and Maggie Cheung's version can not be said to be the same, it is exactly the same, the result of the styling is too similar is that the comparison is inevitable, Zhang Yuhui's acting skills are not bad, but Maggie Cheung at her peak is too much of a loss than her acting skills.
The least smell of green snakes should be the green snake played by Cai Zhuoyan in "The Legend of the White Snake" in 2011.
In fact, the best actor in this version is Fahai, played by Jet Li. On the contrary, the white snake played by Huang Shengyi, Xu Xian played by Lin Feng is not as eye-catching as the cameo Yang Qianwei, and the green snake played by Asa is too cute, feeling like twins playing cosplay. Later, after Cai Zhuoyan mentioned the Academy Awards, the new film cooperated with Andy Lau Liang Chaowei, and her acting skills improved greatly, and this role can almost be regarded as her acting black history.
Finally, three audiences are unfamiliar.
The most ancient version of the green snake, I chose Yang Ying, although it was only a simple play in the variety show to play the "green snake". But an ancient green robe, the shape of the eyebrows is too beautiful.
There is also a green snake appearance about Xiao Tong, which is also in the variety show, which can be seen that it took effort and is really beautiful. But the problem of these two versions is that the two great beauties can play anything, and basically no one wants to get the green snake without subtitles, not like it is not like ah.
In contrast, Qin Hailu also played the "green snake" in the stage play, Yuan Quan played the white snake, Xin Baiqing played the Fahai, and in a group of acting schools, she completely performed the charm of the role, which is amazing, and the green snake should be - there is a demon!
Finally, back to the Gillian version of Green Snake: Frontier.
After watching the above version, you will have a feeling that the green snake seems to have been exhausted, but the thinned Ajiao is really beautiful.
Although she only wears a long dark green skirt from beginning to end, Gillian is born with deep eyebrows and apricot eyes, the corners of her eyes and the corners of her mouth are exquisitely threaded, and her nose and chin are round, delicately mixed with sweetness. It has both the base of the big beauty and weakens the aggression of the delicate beauty with roundness.
Therefore, when she has a pair of eyebrows with a little evil qi, and the corners of her mouth reveal a smile of unclear meaning, it brings out natural charm and a little demon, but this demon will not be a man-eating demon.
Narrow open-fan double eyelids with oriental classical implicit beauty, a turn of the head, pure "broken feeling" overflowed, pure love look is too beautiful...
The director of this movie is also very good at shooting, the smoke-filled light and shadow, to the whole person of Gillian to outline a layer of fantasy halo, her whole person is more beautiful but not tacky, feel that this beauty is not in the "charming", but by her not beautiful.
For such a pure, gentle, and obsessive beauty, the affectionate male number two guarded to the end at the expense of being whipped by thunder and scattered, and finally ended up with a soulless ending, some viewers said that they did not see the reason for him to do so, in fact, the beauty of Gillian is the reason.
Look at her smile with spring in the corners of her eyes, tears are like a pool of clear water, a smile is knocking on your heart, a veritable swaying posture, let people look at a glance to feel pity, especially the apricot core-like eyes, so glance over, the demon above the refraction of a trace of humanity gentleness, like a black hole to suck you up, the word "pure desire" is completely played by Ajiao to understand, such a green snake is worth the male second for her to go to the soup fire.
Of course, Ajiao is no longer the adage girl's ajiao, but compared to the young 18-year-old, now is the most correct time for her to play the green snake, she began to exude a mature female charm, the three words "femininity" to the death.
Especially to the male protagonist, the affectionate almonds, the black and white pupils, as if with brilliance, the eyes flow between them, like a very pure spring.
It is the beauty of years of cultivation, delicate and not arrogant, flexible and not frivolous, and the eyes contain emotional pulses, which can hook away people's souls. This is a green snake that can only be played by the 41-year-old Ajiao, and it is the beauty that belongs to the 41-year-old Ajiao.
2, today's Ajiao plays the green snake, and her acting skills are just right
But beauty alone is not enough, it requires acting skills to cooperate, and a new green snake can be produced.
Having seen so many versions of the green snake, although the interpretation is different, but the overall role is played to the spicy and rebellious type, and Ajiao makes people feel that the green snake can also be tender. "Moving people with affection" is the green snake played by Ah Jiao.
The story is that a thousand years ago, Daoqing (Lin Youwei) and Qing Snake (Zhong Xintong), who were transformed into adults by the Celestial Spirit Tree Qi Hugo, fell in love, and in order to help the green snake become a fish, Daoqing endured the pain of reincarnation, and the green snake had been looking for a lover for hundreds of years, found it, but found that he was reincarnated as a Demon Catcher Daoist, and his master was also possessed by the demon to break the seal of the snake Dan who wanted to take the Green Snake. In the end, the male protagonist until the truth, and the lover joined hands against the enemy, after the tragic victory, the male protagonist died in this life and reincarnated again.
It is also very right to find Lin Youwei to perform Daoqing, and that sense of warmth and Ajiao's temperament are mutually integrated.
Although Ajiao is sometimes affectionate, sometimes fierce, sometimes pathetic, but in the end she can't let go of her lover, she reunited with the male protagonist in that scene, brushing many times is still heartache.
The green snake who lives for love is most afraid of "love" and cherishes "love" the most, and when he finds the male protagonist, he is confused, because he is afraid of losing it again.
The male protagonist recuperated, and she lay directly on the side of the house, and her eyes were full of pity. Less feminine, more playful lover.
The male protagonist woke up, and her expression was sexy with grief, helplessness and resentment.
Although the movie is not long, Gillian portrays this character very well, and the emotional transformation is so smooth and natural, so that the audience can mourn for her and shed tears for her reincarnation.
At this time, you find that the beauty of the stunning four seems to be the threshold for the green snake to enter, and her charm is far more than a layer of skin.
The green snake that makes people feel sorry for their hearts must still have a sense of contradiction in their bodies, strong and fragile in their hearts, strong, and they are fighting against the demon world for their lovers, vulnerable, in a moment of emotion.
So you see, the more careful her movements and demeanor are, the more heart-wrenching it is. also
The experience of the character cannot help but be reminiscent of these years of Gillian.
Over the years, Jiao jiao, really experienced too much, enough to destroy a female star of all kinds of humiliation, she almost all experienced, in recent years and encountered appearance doubts, acting everything has been spit on the media and netizens plus the word "meat", few people pay attention to her has been practicing acting skills in life.
She originally had the opportunity to become a Hong Kong film diva.
In 2002, she and Choi Zhuoyan co-starred in the first movie "This Summer Has the Opposite Sex", which won the box office championship of the Hong Kong film summer file that year, although it was immature, but how moving the youth was.
The girl who grew up in the nunnery in "Ichigo Cane" also brings out the beauty of youth. With a face full of collagen, playing yourself is cute enough.
In 2005, she listened to Liu Zhenwei's words and switched to the route of playing women, a "Thousand Chances change", not to say that it was reborn, but the play herself, hanging Weiya hit the spine are crooked, the degree of dedication and today's traffic flowers are not the same.
Say that her kung fu is all fake, no need to double the same leg to raise one.
In 2010's "Qiandu", she played a middle girl who still has fantasies and expectations for love. She reached the peak of her personal acting skills before that storm.
After the storm, she was silent for several years, until 2016's "History of the Demise of Romanticism", she played Mr. Lu (Ge You) 's aunt "Little Five". There are not many lines, not many scenes.
No one expects her to be as good as she can be – how can a Hong Kong film actress after the storm perform the tone and lamentations of old Shanghai?
But in that scene of revenge for Mr. Lu, the little Wuming she played knew that there was no return, and still laboriously opened the small bag with the pistol hidden, but accidentally hurt her fingers.
In the end, she shot only a small minion next to the target, but she was killed by random shooting.
But this scene has been engraved into the hearts of many audiences, and no matter how harsh it is, it must be admitted that the aunt at this moment will definitely act.
But she shows her acting strength again, and she is already Ruan Lingyu in the acting variety show.
Chen Kaige commented: "The best part of Ah Jiao's performance lies in the subtlety of the eyes. ”
Agent Huo Wenxi also said that Gillian "can speak with her eyes."
It is also a sigh, beauty has no expression, so the showbiz circle is more wooden beauties who can't act, but some expressions are "knocked out". It is about the observation, imagination, and control of the world, which require time, life, and turmoil, and slowly pondering.
Beauty seems to have become more important to actresses than in any time, but it has also become more rapidly decaying than in any era. And Gillian finally found the actress's acting skills after the storm.
In "Green Snake: Frontier", she used the "subtlety" in the eyes cultivated by years to perform another different green snake.
Love is her weakness, if there is no obsession, there is no green snake, she still makes people pity, but this is no longer a girly girl. The 41-year-old Zhong Xintong has finally reached the time when he can inject the past years into the role, and has also given the green snake vitality and personality.
Different eras, there are different eras of "Green Snake"
Many people have the impression that online movies are equal to bad movies, in fact, there have been many good things in online movies in recent years.
For example, this "Green Snake: Frontier", the costumes, scenes, and soundtrack are very exquisite, the fog of the Jiling Mountain, and the mystery of the spirit tree where the male and female protagonists are fixed, are actually prepared for the big screen.
Several special effects dramas, such as the Green Snake vs. The Magic Frog Seed Sense, the formation that Daoqing mistakenly encountered in the Boundary, and the Demon Realm Changing Heaven——
The action scene of the green snake revealing its true body to protect Daoqing can be seen that the funds are burning.
Some designs can be seen with obvious intentions, such as the Jiling Mountain is made of wood and dead vines, coupled with thick smoke, there is a sense of paradise, but also with suspense, the demon is hidden behind the scene.
Xiao Qing's residence is an ancient style house in the elegant bamboo forest, the male and female protagonists reunite, the two are separated by a white veil, the camera slowly advances, there is a kind of hazy beauty.
But the movie is a prequel to the Legend of the White Snake, so the ending also gives a back to the White Snake. The male and female protagonists are not together in the end, but this is also what the movie wants to say, the end of the obsession is not necessarily obtained, and the result is not as important as the process.
The life of the green snake is like a fantasy picture scroll with heavy ink and color, no matter what the ending, she has left a touch of purple and red in the sinister demon world and the complex human world, which is beautiful and beautiful, and has endless staying power.
That's enough.
And the aunt under the screen is often sighed and questioned, but she has also encountered dangerous peaks, and she has experienced everything, and she is not afraid of anything. What is the comparison between those who say that she is fat and the wind and waves of that year?
Just like the scene in the finale of the movie, Xiao Qing, who has experienced the robbery, stands in front of the strange tree and looks up at a touch of light, and the light shines on her face, and the green snake at that moment is a demon, but it is also the purest person.
At this point, Ah Jiao and the green snake she shaped have gone their separate ways, but they have gone to the future.
Unexpectedly, the 41-year-old Ah Jiao would play a pure and lustful wang fried in this way in April, where the sorrows and joys of the world intersected. Everything that has been experienced in the human world is worth it after all.
