In "Tianlong Babu", Jin Yong's characters are numerous and the characters are different, each with its own characteristics, as one of the villains of the play, Murong Fu is even more hateful to the audience, and then quickly removed.
Murong Fu is a contradictory and complex character, sometimes decent as the avenue, sometimes false like a villain, sometimes for his cousin (Wang Yuyan) to ask for warmth, sometimes crazy for the restoration of the country, such a multi-faceted role is actually difficult for the actor to show the strength.
Today, "Tianlong Eight Parts" has produced many versions of both TV series and movies, and Murong Fu in multiple versions may wish to compare three, the classic version, the peak version and the latest version, played by Zhang Guoqiang, Xiu Qing and Gao Taiyu.
The three versions of murong fu played by the actors have their own advantages, and whether they can make the audience remember this role is judged by the audience.
As three men with different styles, playing the same role, what kind of taste will they play, and what is the difference between them?
01, role reduction
Murong Fu's appearance, the original book is described in this way, Duan Yu looked at her (Wang Yuyan), but saw that the person was twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing a pale yellow light shirt, with a long sword hanging from his waist, floating around, with a handsome face, dashing and elegant.
Looking at this text alone, Murong Fu's initial impression was that he was a decent and upright prince, seven points of elegance and three points of arrogance.
Speaking of the 97 version of "Tianlong Eight Parts", in addition to the most memorable protagonist Huang Rihua, Zhang Guoqiang, who is also an old drama bone, can not be ignored, when filming "Tianlong Eight Parts", he has been debuting for 37 years, his acting skills have been pure fire, and his image is also good and evil, playing the role of Murong Fu is more appropriate, even if he is 41 years older, but his acting skills are completely glorious, he is also regarded as the most classic Murong Fu role of all the "Tianlong Eight Parts" version.
Although Zhang Guoqiang's acting skills are flawless, as mentioned earlier, his personal characteristics are also good and evil, and this personality trait can be said to be almost perfect to play Murong Fu, but it is also because it is not thorough enough, so that the audience cannot deeply imprint their minds.
In addition, the luxury of the starring lineup will also drown out the outstanding performance of Zhang Guoqiang's supporting roles, especially in Huang Rihua's powerful aura, and it is impossible to compare him with him.
Of course, what can make the audience like him is precisely because the Murong Fu he plays is not bad enough, the contradictory subject makes him miserable, and the kindness still remains in his heart.
There are praiseworthy places, but there is also a lack of side, many viewers feel that Zhang Guoqiang has played the role a bit of a nest, originally one of the biggest villains, and less domineering performance.
Of course, it may also be because of the needs of the plot, or the director team deliberately did it, whether there is a heart or a yin and yang mistake, a classic Jin Yong martial arts drama has been made.
In 2003, "Tianlong Babu" was remade again, this version should be the most popular version of the audience, there was a traffic of small fresh meat Lin Zhiying to join, and there was a 16-year-old "Immortal Sister" Liu Yifei starring, this version undoubtedly became the peak of all versions of "Tianlong Babu".
Just like the supporting role Murong Fu, the appearance is also more appropriate to the original, the age gap is very small compared to the 97 version, Xiu Qing, who plays Murong Fu, is handsome and handsome, and he has a rare experience in playing a villain, and in the same year, he has played the role of Ouyang Ke, another Jin Yong martial arts drama "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", which is simply handy for the villain role skills.
Especially the confrontation with Wang Yuyan, played by "Immortal Sister" Liu Yifei, made the audience can't help but frustrate him, and the recent crazy desire to restore the country has also pushed him into the abyss.
Many people may have forgotten all versions of Murong Fu's supporting role, but they will still remember Xiu Qing's version. Of course, thanks to the rapid development of science and technology, TV stunts have also been greatly improved earlier, and there is a new traffic injection, and the audience attention is naturally higher.
Coming to the 2021 version, as for "North Qiao Feng, South Murong", I think Gao Taiyu's Murong Fu can have a place, under his role, the appearance is a higher level, in today's era when appearance is everything, he has also been pushed to the "most handsome Murong Fu in history".
Gao Taiyu once confessed that he had a dream of Jin Yong's martial arts, and he hoped to enter Murong Fu's inner world. More obviously, Gao Taiyu has a different understanding of the character.
Under his understanding, Murong Fu is not only a villain with feelings of home and country, but also a career-oriented villain, who can bend and stretch, and if he abandons different positions, he is also an aspiring young man full of positive energy.
Murong Fu, played by Gao Taiyu, is obviously different from the previous versions that are simply in the martial arts world, with ambition and obsession, and is also very contradictory and controversial. From naming, admiring, and despairing to being discredited, Gao Taiyu tried to find the real Murong Fu from the heart.
He said that no one could truly understand Murong Fu's loneliness and pain. As you can see, this version of Murong Fu is also quite uncomfortable, which is the difference in the understanding of the characters, and it can be said that Gao Taiyu is emotionally integrated.
02, how to evaluate their role
Thanks to the martial arts style prevailing in the era, Zhang Guoqiang is regarded as a classic, although many viewers feel that he is not bad enough, or it is this emotion of both good and evil that makes the audience more unforgettable.
And he himself is an old drama bone, the acting skills are beyond doubt, making up for more deficiencies, and to this day, he still feels very flavorful.
Murong Fu, played by Xiu Qing, really makes people hate, especially using his cousin Wang Yuyan to achieve his goals, and his sister is so cute that he can't bear to hurt.
Because his heart is fierce and fierce, the evil is too great to be righteous, Xiu Qing played the real villain to the fullest, because the acting was too good, and the Xiu Qing version of Murong Fu also became the peak version.
At that time, the 03 version was widely spread and popular in the mainland, and as the post-90s impression of Murong Fu also stayed on Xiu Qing's treacherous horns, it was inevitable to carry a childhood filter, and then watch other remakes have a preconceived and uncomfortable taste.
The 2021 version as a sentimental audience is undoubtedly full of expectations, and the image of Murong Fu played by Gao Taiyu is also in line with the aesthetic bias of whether it is 90 or 00/10, and the appearance is very popular, and the "most handsome Murong Fu" is deserved.
03. Conclusion
The three versions of Murong Fu's actors have their own characteristics, or good or evil or adultery or cruelty or beauty or softness, each remake wants to surpass the previous work is very difficult, but nothing more than to try, just as the 03 version of the blue out of the blue and better than the blue, the latecomers do not necessarily fall, whether classic or peak, are not achieved overnight, good actors are important, the same understanding of film and television and the actor's understanding of the role is also indispensable, as long as the heart is created, or at the time it can not let the audience understand its meaning, Perhaps in the future, there will be the emergence of understanding in different eras, and it is not impossible to fly up the branches and become a phoenix, and it will be left to time to verify it after trying.
