Broadcast in 2000, "Marrying the Wrong Flower Car to the Lang" can be called the pearl in the classic of costume love dramas.
This drama was filmed at the peak of the starring roles, especially the two heroines Huang Yi and Xiao Lilin, and the shape and appearance of the play still hang the female characters of most ancient puppet dramas now.
After 22 years, Youku officially announced the news of remake of this drama, and also invited many old actors to dream of linkage to create momentum for the new version.
But for classic remakes, it is generally sung down, and this time is no exception. The appearance of the old version of the actor in combination only makes people have the impulse to review the previous work.
So objectively look at it, will this remake "ruin the classic" in the end?
Comparing the old and new actors, the temperament is very different
The reason why the classic can become a classic must be its long-lasting capital, and the most powerful capital of this "Wrong Flower Car Marrying the Lang" is undoubtedly a group of "beauties" in the play.
The actors were in their early twenties, the best age, full of collagen. At that time, plastic surgery was not popular, actresses lost weight and did not go crazy, basically no net red awl face, it looked very comfortable, original and fleshy face, the youthful atmosphere that came from the face, it was really beautiful to people's hearts.
In particular, the styling in the play is still done by Yang Shuyun, a teacher who has won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the China Film and Television Makeup Awards, and the styling of each character is very different, and a large number of hair accessories and hair bags are used, and the hairstyles and makeup created are very ancient and beautiful.
The new version of the lineup was announced, although they are all actors with a certain work base, but the fame is relatively general, and there is no particularly red. Temperament and the old version is a little bit of a fit, the appearance of each has its own strengths.
The two female protagonists are played by Tian Xiwei in 97 and Bai Bingke in 2001.
The two heroines are good-looking, but they do not have the amazing feeling of the original.
Tian Xiwei's face is round, her smile is very sweet, and under the influence of her previous works, she will feel that she is a more eccentric type. White ice is more bright and atmospheric.
At present, just started, for the time being, I can only see a version of Tian Xiwei's style, I feel that I am moving closer to the front, and the use of hair bags and hair accessories is a bit of that taste, but it does not give people a sense of transcendence.
In terms of actors, although there is not so much attention, it may be the key to affecting the direction of the evaluation of the two versions. Because the styles vary dramatically.
The old version of Nie Yun and Shi Xiaohong are both angular "rough guy" types, the new version of Ao Ruipeng and Zhao Shunran are both small-faced "exquisite boy" types, and the temperament of the actors themselves is very different.
In terms of role fit, I feel that I have the impression that the old version has preconceived notions, and I always feel that the new version of the actors does not seem to match. However, they have played similar roles before, and it seems that they are OK. It is also considered to be a more adaptable adjustment to the times, in recent years, the generals in the ancient puppet dramas are not all "little white face" models.
At present, the shape of Ao Ruipeng Qi Tianlei has been exposed, and there is a fei gongzi.
The male protagonist may be biased towards the old version and more manly. Some people prefer the new version, and the value is higher. Which version do you prefer?
As far as the entire lineup is concerned, the per capita appearance is still on the high side, and there are also old actors who will join, which is still more tempting.
The story routine is classic, and the narrative can be expected
The old version of "Marrying the Wrong Flower Car to the Lang" not only has the actress's appearance style so far crushed many newly filmed costume dramas, but the routines such as "first marry and then love" and "cross-class romantic love" in the play have been used to this day.
The old version of the story is adapted from Xi Silk's novels "On the Wrong Flower Car to Marry the Lang" and "Please Take a Look", the new version is the same, to put it bluntly, the new version is a remake of the old TV series, rather than a re-adaptation of the original novel.
Several major routines in the old version of the drama can be taken out alone, which can become the core structure of a drama. For example, the routine of first marriage and then love, in the major sweet pet dramas, whether it is ancient costumes or modern cities are habitual routines.
On the core setting of "marrying the wrong flower car to the lang", last year also produced a "flower good moon and round".
Since ancient times, the affection can not be retained, and the routine has never won people's hearts. A routine frame can fill in different details, and it is a fresh story. The classic routine itself is not outdated, and the new version may be able to work on the details to create a refreshing feeling.
At least from the known information, with director Chengfeng controlling the field, the narrative should not be bad. In the early years, he directed the bitter love dramas "Women Don't Cry", "Laughing and Living", "I Am a Little Grass" and watched many people cry. In recent years, he has been directing ancient puppet dramas, and is also one of the directors of the popular fairy drama "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost".
On the whole, it is a bit difficult for the new version to surpass the old version, but it should also be possible to take a look. Probably a small sweet drama under the blessing of the big IP.
