In 2001, the 40-episode martial arts drama "New Chu Liuxiang", which cost up to 40 million yuan, set off a ratings boom as soon as it was broadcast, however, the ultra-luxurious lineup still did not stop countless viewers from complaining about the lead actor Ren Xianqi.
At that time, Ren Xianqi was red to purple in the three places on both sides of the strait, however, because Zheng Shaoqiu's version of Zhuyu was in front, coupled with the fact that Ren Xianqi's image was far from Chu Liuxiang, and because the supporting roles were too good, Ren Xianqi became the only bad point in the play.
At that time, the goal of the production unit was to surpass Zheng Shaoqiu's version of "Chu Liuxiang" and create a new classic, in order to achieve this goal, the crew not only invited Zheng Yijian, Ren Xianqi, Zhang Weijian, Yuan Yongyi and others to play important roles in the play, even the supporting roles were full of stars, Sun Yaowei, Li Zi, Wan Qiwen, Zheng Haonan, Lin Xinru, Wu Mengda, Zhang Qian, Chen Farong, Chen Zhanpeng, Li Yaoxiang, Zhang Huiyi, Lin Xilei, Yang Gongru, Xu Shaoqiang...
Even some of the roles that appeared in the play for only a few minutes were invited to be starred by popular stars, such as the emperor who admired Chu Liuxiang in the first episode, the role was only a few minutes, but the crew invited the popular star Chen Xiaodong to star, and Chen Xiaodong's status in the Chinese entertainment industry at that time was probably equivalent to Xiao Zhan now.
Even the behind-the-scenes team is also a super luxurious lineup, the producer specially invited Zheng Shaoqiu's version of "Chu Liuxiang" director Wang Tianlin, the producer invited Zheng Weiwen, the director is Zheng Weiwen led by the director team, in fact, Wang Jing also played a leading role in the filming process of the play, so the outside world usually regards "New Chu Liuxiang" as Wang Jing's work.
In fact, clear-eyed people can see that although Ren Xianqi is just red, but the appearance is really too far away from "Chu Liuxiang", such a luxurious lineup, such a large investment to ask him to play the starring role can be said to be very risky, but why also invite him? It is said that this role was originally played by Zheng Yijian, but because of the schedule problem, he had no choice but to change Ren Xianqi, and Ren Xianqi also pushed down the invitation of the TV series "Fengyun" in order to be able to play Chu Liuxiang.
In the blink of an eye, "New Chu Liuxiang" has been broadcast for 22 years, but because the ultra-luxurious lineup can no longer be copied, there are still many viewers who remember it.
What makes Ren Xianqi "happy" the most is that in the fifth year after the filming of the play, his throne of "the ugliest Chu Liuxiang" was ruthlessly snatched away by Zhu Xiaotian.
