As one of Mr. Jin Yong's classic works, "The Tale of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" accompanies many people's childhoods.
Let many teenagers yearn for the sword like a dream, happy to take revenge on the martial arts jianghu. Over the decades, the original book has also been remade countless times.
Regardless of the quality of word of mouth, "The Book of the Dragon Slayer" can attract the attention of many people, which is the charm of the classic.
The reason why "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" can be widely circulated, in addition to the ups and downs of the plot, there is also Jin Yong's characters are vivid and impressive.
Among them, the male advocate is strong in martial arts and has feelings and righteousness, but he is also somewhat indecisive in the face of feelings, and is a controversial role.
And several of his confidants: Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao, and Ah Li are more loved by the audience and readers.
In 2022, Wang Jing filmed a new version of the big movie "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", although there are many big names sitting in the seat, but most of the audience does not buy it.
First, the magic change of the plot is difficult to accept.
Second, the casting of the starring role makes people complain, the protagonist Zhang Wuji is played by the nearly middle-aged Lin Feng, so he is jokingly called "the middle-aged and elderly version of the Yitian Slaughtering Dragon".
In addition to the male protagonist, the most controversial is Qiu Yinong, who plays Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo, who has a "net red face" and lacks acting skills, is really reminiscent of the characters in the original work.
Zhou Zhiruo, as a villain with a pure appearance and a deep heart, the reason why many people like in addition to the emotional human settings is because she has a super high appearance!
This is very important.
In the version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" that most audiences are familiar with, Zhou Zhiruo is played by one of the best beauty seedlings.
In several versions of the TV series with better ratings and wider circulation, Zhou Zhiruo, played by Zhou Haimei, She Shiman and Gao Yuanyuan, is more recognized and loved by the audience.
So the same is playing Zhou Zhiruo, what are the differences between the three of them?
01 Restoration of the character image
In the novel, Zhou Zhiruo is described as beautiful and elegant, xiuruo Zhilan, and her posture is very beautiful.
The beauty of Zhou Zhiruo lies in the word "beautiful", like a white lotus, which makes people dream.
Among the three, Zhou Haimei's 94 version is the earliest.
And her appearance is also quite innovative, the clothing uses light gauze material, the hairstyle is very simple, both has a classical charm, but also in line with the identity of Zhou Zhiruo Emei sect female disciples.
Although the service is not as good as it is now, the actor is Zhou Haimei.
At that time, Zhou Haimei was 28 years old, full of charm, and was at the peak of her appearance.
It can be said that any cloak is good.
In particular, a cinnabar mole in the heart of her eyebrow adds a lot of fairy spirit to the role.
In terms of appearance, Zhou Haimei's version of Zhou Zhiruo is beautiful and vulgar, but it is very suitable for the original work.
Another Zhou Zhiruo actor, She Shiman, was only 26 years old at the time, and the baby fat on his face had not yet faded, and he had not yet entered the industry.
After winning the third place of Miss Hong Kong in 1997, She Shiman filmed her first TV series the following year, and played Chow Chi Ruo in her third year.
Her appearance is delicate and cute, although there is some gap with Zhou Zhiruo's description of Qingqing, but fortunately, she is full of girlishness, the overall flaws are not hidden, and her appearance is still very recognizable.
Finally, there is Zhou Zhiruo, played by "National Goddess" Gao Yuanyuan.
At that time, Gao Yuanyuan did not have the title of national goddess, when she was only 22 years old, it was the three Zhou Zhiruo who played the youngest of this.
This is also her first time to appear in a costume drama, and the 03 version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" has also become the most widely circulated version, which can be said to have laid a lot of foundation for Gao Yuanyuan to become a national goddess later.
It is worth mentioning that Lai Shuiqing, the director of the 94th edition of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", is the artistic director of the 03 edition.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the characters will see the shadow of the previous work, such as following Zhou Zhiruo's eyebrows a little.
Not only in terms of appearance, Gao Yuanyuan's own appearance and temperament have some similarities with Zhou Haimei.
However, Zhou Zhiruo, played by Gao Yuanyuan, has bright eyes and bright teeth, is pure and lovely, and in the early stage of blackening, she is like a cute little white rabbit.
The collagen-filled face coupled with the pitiful eyes of Chuchu made many people stunned, and they did not know how many teenagers had become the dream lovers!
02 Interpretation of the character
The role of Zhou Zhiruo is more difficult to interpret, from the pure and lovely person in the early stage to the blackening in the back, her personality transformation is very large.
Therefore, it is difficult to perform zhou Zhiruo's changes without sufficient understanding and acting skills.
Zhou Haimei not only has a good reductive power in appearance, but also is very good for Zhou Zhiruo's role.
In the early stage, ChuChu was moving, with a loving look, and the moist eyes rippled, making people can't help but be moved.
The transformation of blackening in the later stage is also very emotional, and the change in eyes alone deduces Zhou Zhiruo's fierceness.
It is worth mentioning that in the 2019 new version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", Zhou Haimei played the role of exterminator Tai.
People can't help but sigh that time has passed, and Zhou Zhiruo, who was once a master, has also survived to become an exterminator.
Although She Shiman's appearance in the play is slightly inferior to Zhao Min of Li Zi, her acting skills are very online.
At that time, She Shiman, who had just entered the industry, had a very good grasp of the role, whether it was the pitiful and slightly cunning in the early stage, or the fierceness after blackening, it was impressive.
In particular, the eye drama is a must, such as in the scene where Zhang Wuji abandoned Zhou Zhiruo on the day of the big wedding.
She Shiman's eyes are very dramatic, revealing sadness in the determination.
I have to say that She Shiman is worthy of being one of the drama bones of TVB, and the tearful scene is touching.
Zhou Zhiruo, played by Gao Yuanyuan, was very stunning in the early stages, and the face of the surprised person had an innocent look in his eyes, which had a feeling of pity that I saw.
However, after the blackening, the acting skills are not so amazing, and Gao Yuanyuan's own appearance is originally gentle and gentle, not fierce enough.
After the blackening, there is a hint of fierceness by relying on the blessing of makeup.
It can only be said that Gao Yuanyuan's appearance is better than his acting skills in this drama.
I believe that many viewers love and hate the role of Zhou Zhiruo, although she has done some bad things, but her super high appearance and experience are pitying.
This is the charm of the role, and the good actor can present the charm of the role in front of the audience.
All three actors do this very well.
03 The degree of recognition of the audience
Zhou Zhiruo, played by Zhou Haimei, was almost fully praised by the audience.
Even Jin Yong's grandfather praised Lian Lian, he said: He already knew that Zhou Zhiruo, who played Zhou Haimei, changed the ending.
From the attitude of Jin Yong's grandfather, it can be known that Zhou Haimei's role is still relatively recognized.
Interestingly, Jin Yong did modify Zhou Zhiruo's ending in the newly revised version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon".
Originally, Zhou Zhiruo's end was to escape into the empty door and pass on the position of head to Zhang Wuji, who was often accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.
In the new revision, Zhou Zhiruo disappeared after asking Zhang Wuji not to marry Zhao Min.
Although She Shiman's Zhou Zhiruo is slightly inferior in appearance, her acting skills are highly recognized.
This version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" is also the highest score, with a score of 8.6 points on Douban.
Among the three versions, the 03 version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" is the most widely circulated in the mainland, accompanying many of the leisure time of the post-80s and post-90s.
Gao Yuanyuan also exploded because of his role as Zhou Zhiruo, and became the costume goddess of many people.
It can be said that the three versions of Zhou Zhiruo have their own advantages, and their excellent acting skills and appearance have jointly shaped this role that people love and hate.
However, the new dramas that are constantly being remade now lack profound roles that people remember, but the old dramas are more and more flavorful.
Hopefully, the director of the remake will be able to find actors for the characters themselves, and the actors can strengthen their understanding and create better, impressive classic roles.
