There are some actors who have created some classic characters in film and television dramas, and when this character is mentioned, this actor is remembered.
And after many years, even if the later versions of the actors have higher appearance and more advanced shooting techniques and methods, they cannot shake their status in the eyes of the audience, and some are even indisputable.
This is the case with these seven classic male characters, let's see who they are.
1. Leslie Cheung - Ning Caichen
Everyone's impression of "Ning Caichen" is generally simple and simple, wooden and elegant. A white-faced scholar who has no strength in his hands and is even weak to a little fragile.
At that time, Tsui Hark asked Leslie Cheung to star in "The Ghost of a Girl", and at first Leslie Cheung refused, feeling that the plot and costumes of his costume film were more weird, and this kind of drama was not his own style.
For this reason, Tsui Hark persuaded and promised to make the costume more beautiful. As a result, this movie has become a classic that is difficult to surpass, and Leslie Cheung's Ning Caichen is also difficult to surpass, because Wang Zuxian has always called Ning Caichen "brother", and finally the crew followed suit, and the title "brother" became Leslie Cheung's exclusive.
He is infatuated and elegant, with beautiful eyebrows, shy and cowardly, and looks like a reader who only obeys, but he is fresh and unconventional. At that time, this drama set off a trend of following the filming of costume fantasy films, including "Heavenly Master Zhong Kui's Qian Female Feud".
Song Yimin also played Ning Caichen in it, Song Yimin is also elegant and delicate, and his eyebrows are a little similar to Leslie Cheung. From the appearance alone, this version of Ning Caichen is okay. However, Song Yimin's acting skills and expression are different from Leslie Cheung, resulting in this movie not being well-known.
Chen Xiaodong, who was once considered the successor of the "Four Heavenly Kings", also played Ning Caichen, this Ning Caichen is of course very handsome, with a beautiful face, and a hemp scholar's costume looks very pleasant, but this Ning Caichen's personality is not good at all, he will only find trouble in all kinds, he is simply a coward, far less than the supporting role played by Nie Yuan deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Hu Ge also played the role of Ning Caichen, when Hu Ge had just risen in popularity with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", he played Ning Caichen in "New Liaozhai Zhiwei", although Hu Ge looked innocent, but his Ning Caichen always made people feel that it was Li Xiaoyao.
After Yu Shaoqun starred in "Mei Lanfang" and became famous, he was selected by the director to play Ning Caichen in "New Qian Nu Ghost", for which he defeated Huang Xiaoming and others.
Ning Caichen played by Yu Shaoqun is a little more scholarly and has a natural charm, but Yu Shaoqun's body is thin, and it is hard to believe that he can protect Nie Xiaoqian at some moments.
The most speechless for the audience is Ning Caichen in "Qian Nu Fairy Yuan", Peng Yujia's role as Ning Caichen was scolded. The reason is that he is too ugly, and his appearance to play Ning Caichen is really spicy, not to mention the bad plot.
Whether it is a similar look, or a well-known male star to play Ning Caichen, no one can re-perform the taste of Leslie Cheung's "Ning Caichen", interpreting what "classics have always been copied, but never surpassed."
2. Monkey King - six-year-old child
"Journey to the West" carries the childhood memories of several generations, even at the age of tens of years, willing to sit in front of the TV and watch it for a while.
And the role of Monkey King in the play is even more classic and incomparable, a sentence "Old Sun Laiye!" "How many memories evoked.
The actor was born in a monkey opera family, when director Yang Jie did not look at the six-year-old child, thinking that he looked polite and looked like a weak scholar, but his father recommended him to Yang Jie, and finally the six-year-old boy played the role of Monkey King.
He expressed his movements and eyebrows well, and performed a playful and fierce Monkey King. The six-year-old Monkey King has been loved by the audience, but the classic of this role is still because of the contrast between the Monkey King played by others.
In "Journey to the West", the original six-year-old child played Sun Wukong but did not appear for other reasons, and finally martial arts director Cao Rong starred in Sun Wukong, his play is very good, but the acting skills are not only embarrassing.
It can be said that there is no expression, the "stiff" neck and the constantly repeated action scenes make many viewers complain, can only say that the Monkey King portrayed by Cao Rong is a three-point monkey and a seven-point person.
Wu Yue, who is a martial arts champion, has also starred in Monkey King, probably because of the mask, his version of Monkey King often laughs and does not smile, only his mouth can move, and he cannot perform Monkey King's agility at all.
The martial arts actor in the movie "Heavenly Palace" is played by Donnie Yen, and the biggest strength and advantage of this movie is the special effects, so Donnie Yen failed to interpret the essence of Monkey King well, and the fight scene was soft.
"Heavenly King" Guo Fucheng also challenged the role of Sun Wukong, he played Sun Wukong with reference to six-year-old children, saying that he felt ugly in front of his predecessors, Guo Fucheng sighed that it was not good to act, just like after the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulty, but Guo Fucheng's Monkey King was called "King Kong" by the audience.
"Journey to the West" Lin Xinxin also played Sun Wukong, and his Sun Wukong focused on makeup, presenting a demonic Monkey King with makeup.
Stephen Chow's Monkey King is rarely complained about, but he is completely different from everyone's impression of Monkey King, and can only be said to be a person who will fall in love with the name of Wukong.
Ding Jian, who played the six-eared macaque in the episode of the real and fake Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", in that episode he imitated the Monkey King to reach the level of being fake, and left "Journey to the West", in "Baolian Lantern", "Baolian Lantern Prequel", "Magic Phone" and other Ding Jian, who played from a stand-in to a full body, did not perform his own characteristics, let alone surpass the word.
Therefore, not everyone can play the role of Monkey King, although the six-year-old child has caused controversy because of some words, and the Monkey King he played is difficult to surpass.
3. He Jiajin - Zhan Zhao
The 93 version of "Bao Qingtian" was a TV series that was empty of people at that time, and the appearance of Zhan Zhaoyi, who was dressed in a red official uniform, captured the hearts of thousands of girls. Now twenty years have passed, no matter who plays the role of Zhan Zhao, it is difficult to surpass this version of Zhan Zhao.
He Jiajin, who played Zhan Zhao, was more than 30 years old at the time, because there were too many scenes, during the filming, He Jiajin was stunned to wear 78 pairs of shoes, but the kung fu lived up to the painstaking people, and He Jiajin also became popular with the role of Zhan Zhao.
The aura, chivalrous and heroic spirit He Jiajin that the character of Zhan Zhao should have are all interpreted very thoroughly. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is upright, and carries style in every move.
The classic of his role is that all subsequent editions of Zhan Zhao almost borrowed from his clothing, but they did not surpass him.
Lv Liangwei played the role of Zhan Zhao in the 95 version of "New Bao Qingtian", Lv Liangwei's appearance is also handsome and dashing, but many viewers feel that Lv Liangwei is too dull, and the traces of imitating He Jiajin are too obvious and look relatively old, obviously he is the same age as He Jiajin.
Huang Rihua also starred in Zhan Zhao, and there is no need to talk about the chivalry on Huang Rihua's body, but he played Zhan Zhao with a bitter appearance, without the smart and intelligent feeling of "Royal Cat".
This version of Zhan Zhao played by Zhen Zhiqiang in "Blue Blood and Blue Sky Yang Family General", compared with He Jiajin, he lacks that heroic chivalrous spirit, and his face is relatively long and handsome.
When Jiao Enjun, the male god in ancient costume, played the role of Zhan Zhao, the audience was highly anticipated, Jiao Enjun was very handsome in red, and the sword eyebrows and stars were unforgettable, but his masculinity was insufficient and slightly feminine, not He Jiajin's feeling of rigidity and softness.
Yan Yikuan, who looks like a beautiful man in a comic, is cold and handsome when he starred in Zhan Zhao, but with a sense of debauchery. Plus he plays handsome from time to time, more like a prodigal son in rivers and lakes.
Yang Yang, who is very handsome in ancient costumes, has also been cos in variety shows, and Yang Yang, who wears a red official uniform, is very handsome even if he does not have a filter for TV series, but he is too soft, more like a champion than a chivalrous guard.
From this point of view, even if the subsequent version has been imitated wearing the same clothes, it is still very difficult to surpass He Jiajin's Zhan Zhao.
4. Zheng Shaoqiu - Chu Liuxiang
Chu Liuxiang is an insurmountable representative character in Gulong's novels, and it is difficult for Lu Xiaofeng to surpass his charm later. Among the actors portrayed in film and television dramas, only Zheng Shaoqiu is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Chu Liuxiang, played by Zheng Shaoqiu, was very popular once it was released, and even Gulong sighed: "The world only knows that there is Zheng Shaoqiu, but does not know that there is an ancient dragon." Zheng Shaoqiu has starred in Chu Liuxiang many times, and his Chu Liuxiang is also particularly in line with the audience's heart, that is, the merry Yushu Linfeng Xiangshuai, this Chu Liuxiang who is in all shapes has not been surpassed in the following decades.
Before Zheng Shaoqiu, the handsome brother Dillon also played Chu Liuxiang, when he was also at the peak of his appearance, handsome and tall, and completely qualified to play Xiangshuai, but Dillon has a cheerful boy taste, that kind of martial arts is unfathomable, and the wisdom is also very deep feeling, so he did not leave too deep an impression on the audience.
Miao Qiaowei also played the role of Chu Liuxiang, his appearance is also very handsome, charming, and family style, but looking less capable and ethereal, I thought it was Yang Kang at first glance.
Ren Xianqi became popular because of "Too Soft Heart" and "Sad Pacific", not only starred in Yang Guo, but also got the role of Chu Liuxiang written by Gu Long, and even Zheng Yijian and Zhang Weijian gave him supporting roles. However, the mediocre-looking Ren Xianqi was ridiculed when he appeared, and this version of the cast is very gorgeous, Lin Xilei, Zhang Huiyi, Wan Qiwen, Chen Farong, Li Zi, Yuan Yongyi, Lin Xinru, Yang Gongru, etc. are difficult to surpass.
Ren Xianqi also did not expect that the male protagonist of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was worse than him, Zhu Xiaotian's appearance was really too far from Chu Liuxiang, and the costume Dao was also very bad, Chu Liuxiang actually wore the same clothes as Avanti, and this version of the actresses was more beautiful than the other.
It was not until the mainland launched "Chu Liuxiang's New Biography" that Chu Liuxiang found the handsomeness that Chu Liuxiang should have, Zhang Zhiyao's Chu Liuxiang won the recognition of fans, his appearance and temperament are very in line with the personality, and it adds a calm and reliable temperament, the only pity is to miss Zhang Zhiyao's most handsome period.
In addition, there are several versions of Chu Liuxiang, which have not impressed netizens, and are also very different from Chu Liuxiang's image.
5. Gu Tianle - Yang Guo
Speaking of Yang Guo, many viewers will immediately think of Gu Tianle, Gu Tianle who plays Yang Guo is really handsome to the point of explosion, his face is like crown jade, his lips are red and white, his eyes are clear and transparent, in the early stage, he has a trace of evil aura, and in the later stage, he has a hero-like atmosphere and a sense of stability, which is simply impeccable, even Jin Yong said that he was the most handsome Yang Guo.
It is said that Yang Guo is wrong for life, and Gu Tianle is the same for the audience.
In fact, before Gu Tianle's Yang Guo, Andy Lau also starred in Yang Guo, although he played Yang Guo has a sense of immaturity, but has been highly praised by Jin Yong, was said by Jin Yong to be the most suitable for the original work, at that time this version of "Condor Heroes" was also recognized by the audience, known as the Jin Yong drama second only to the 83 version of the Condor.
Even if there are preconceived reasons, the audience was immediately conquered by him after seeing Gu Tianle's Yang Guo, but felt that Andy Lau's appearance was not a heroic look, and Andy Lau's version was ignored by many people.
Generally, the appearance of the actors who play Yang Guo is very high, and Ren Xianqi is probably the only exception. Ren Xianqi was too popular at that time, and successively challenged Chu Liuxiang, Yang Guo and other roles, and his Yang Guo was too different from the Yang Guo in the audience's mind, so the audience complained about him and this drama, and even the famous scene Yang Guo took off the mask was complained by the audience that it was better not to take it off.
The mainland version of "Condor Heroes" has many highlights, Huang Xiaoming defeated Nie Yuan to get the role of Yang Guo at that time, but was severely criticized by Jin Yong, saying that he seemed to be playing a pompous young man, indeed Huang Xiaoming's Yang Guo was a little greasy, and that kind of affection and solemnity were not performed.
When Chen Xiao played Yang Guo, I have to say that his Yang Guo is very handsome, but this Yang Guo's body is too thin, his face is too small, less heroic and heroic, and more like the male protagonist of a costume idol drama.
Tong Mengshi also challenged the role of Yang Guo, although it has not yet been broadcast, but he can surpass Gu Tianle's Yang Guo is afraid that there is no possibility, first of all, his appearance is difficult to compare with Gu Tianle in his youth.
In addition, the young Gu Tianle also has a melancholy and lonely, unruly and rebellious and cunning personal temperament, which is particularly suitable for the role of Yang Guo, so Gu Tianle's Yang Guo is the most classic and cannot be replicated.
6. Jiao Enjun - Li Xunhuan
Speaking of the role of Li Xunhuan, the audience will immediately think of Jiao Enjun, after the broadcast of "Little Li Flying Knife", Jiao Enjun immediately became popular all over the country, in the eyes of the audience, if there is a character of Li Xunhuan in the world, it should be Jiao Enjun, and no one can replace it.
Therefore, more than ten years after this version was broadcast, Xiao Li Feidao has never been remade, and no one dared to challenge the role of Li Xunhuan in the past.
At that time, there were many Chinese and American women in this drama, Xiao Qiang, Yu Feihong, Jia Jingwen, etc., each of whom had a high appearance, but these beauties actually did not suppress Jiao Enjun's appearance, but Jiao Enjun crushed this group of beauties with his appearance.
"Xiao Li Flying Knife" caused a great sensation after the broadcast, the biggest topic is the beauty of Jiao Enjun, his eyes are as deep as lake water clean and quiet, every move has a gentle expression, holding a wine glass but smiling on his mouth is very impressive.
You must know that Jiao Enjun's hairstyle at that time was the shape of the bubble noodle head plus the bow, and in order to create a disease-ridden image, he often appeared without makeup and no makeup, so he still drove the shape of the bubble noodle head, and later a large number of "bubble noodle head" images appeared on the screen.
Before this, Dillon had played the role of Li Xunhuan, and the peak appearance of Dillon was extremely handsome, but his bright and sunny appearance was much different from the role of Li Xunhuan, and Jiao Enjun's version was consciously rendering a tragic atmosphere like Li Xunhuan.
In addition, in 1995, Li Xunhuan was played by Guan Lijie in "Little Li Flying Knife", and Guan Lijie also worked hard to play a decadent, uninhibited, infatuated, chivalrous Li Xunhuan, and even tried to find Li Xunhuan's vicissitudes, melancholy and the temperament of the inner world that others could not see, and the degree of restoration in the eyes of the audience was also good, but after the broadcast of Jiao Enjun's version, not many people paid attention to this one.
After Jiao Enjun's version, Li Xunhuan appeared in film and television dramas as a cameo or supporting role in dramas such as "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" or "Amorous Prodigal Son".
These include handsome guys Zheng Yijian, Yan Yikuan, Xiu Qing and so on. Separately, each of the three of them is a beautiful man in ancient costume, but with Jiao Enjun's Li Xunhuan Zhuyu in front, they can only challenge the role of Li Xunhuan, who made a cameo.
Jiao Enjun single-handedly juxtaposed the role of Li Xunhuan and Zheng Shaoqiu's Chu Liuxiang, becoming the two best roles in the Gulong drama, which is really difficult to surpass.
7. Tang Guoqiang - Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang in CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also a core figure, and director Wang Fulin is also very cautious when selecting actors.
Zhou Yu, who Tang Guoqiang went to audition at the beginning, was particularly good-looking when he was young, and he was also known as a cream boy, and director Wang Fulin took a look at him and overturned everyone who had auditioned before.
And Tang Guoqiang faced Li Fazeng's version of Zhuge Liang Zhuyu in front, as well as his own depression in terms of acting skills, as well as the depth of Zhuge Liang's role, which captured the essence of the character and became the white moonlight in the hearts of countless audiences.
Just by virtue of Sangu Maolu, he pushed open the curtain and walked out, and the appearance of being dashing and generous in his hands and feet made people feel that the figure of Cheng Xiang had walked out of the Wuhou Temple.
Don't mention that Zhan Qunru, Baidi Tuogu, and Crying Zhou Yu were filmed in one day, that is, Tang Guoqiang's way of shaking the fan is full of literati elegance, compared to others who are just used to fan the wind.
The 1985 TV series "Zhuge Liang" was played by Mr. Li Fazeng, and he played very upright and serious and confident throughout the play. There are also elegant, intelligent, upright, and heavy performances, but he is shorter and a little old-fashioned, and there is a gap between him and Zhuge Liang, who is a talent of the masses, a heroic weapon, and is eight feet long.
In the movie "Red Cliff", Takeshi Kaneshiro starred in the youth version of Zhuge Liang, his costume literary drama is really too jerky, and the light lines of the tongue battle group are not good, but fortunately, his appearance is tall and tall, and he is also above the bottom line acceptable to the audience.
In "The New Three Kingdoms", Lu Yi challenged the role of Zhuge Liang, and his Zhuge Liang was like Hou Liangping when he was young, and he was simply stealing words when he was fighting with his tongue, and his frown and face at any time were very helpless, let alone Tang Guoqiang's body language of opening and closing, receiving, and swaying freely.
Zhuge Liang in "Dragon Roaring Tiger Yin" is played by Wang Luoyong, and the elderly Zhuge Liang he played is also somewhat similar, but some details are still some gaps with Tang Guoqiang's Zhuge Liang.
Tang Guoqiang's Zhuge Liang's ancient charm between gestures is admirable. Zhuge Liang was confident and free when he was young and tenacious and lonely in the later stage, and he interpreted that kind of bowing to the fullest, such a height that no one can surpass.
The above seven male classic characters are really very difficult to surpass, and it is better than how to show his appearance is not the highest, but even the costumes have been imitated. And Tang Guoqiang's Zhuge Liang is undisputed and unshakable.
These roles are a fusion of the actor's hard work and deep understanding of the role, and I hope that the current actors will also strive to create classic roles that are difficult to shake, which will live up to the title of actor.
