2003's "Dragon Babu" is another Jin Yong masterpiece by Zhang Jizhong after "Condor".
This is the highest evaluation among several Jin Yong works shot by Zhang Jizhong , and some viewers even claim that Hu Jun's version has surpassed Huang Rihua's version.
Today, let's talk about the untold stories behind this show.
Liu Tao almost played Wang Yuyan
Liu Tao's Azhu is gentle and gentle, and there is an indescribable nature standing with Qiao Feng played by Hu Jun, but do you know that Liu Tao was originally scheduled to play Wang Yuyan?
In the early stage of the bearded man's preparation for the filming of "Dragon Babu", several actresses came to try the role of Wang Yuyan. For example, Jiang Qinqin, Huang Yi, Xu Jinglei, and the most beautiful Chang'e Yan Danchen in the Baolian lamp.
But the producer at that time thought that Jiang Qinqin was a little older, Xu Jinglei was not fairy enough, Huang Yi's appearance was not good, and the most optimistic Yan Danchen could not pass the crying scene, and finally gave up.
After such a circle, the only one who finally satisfied the director was Liu Tao, who originally thought it was so decided.
As a result, just before filming began, director Zhang Jizhong asked Liu Yifei, who was originally going to play Azhu, to try Wang Yuyan, and when Liu Yifei appeared Wang Yuyan's makeup in front of everyone, everyone's eyes lit up.
At that time, Liu Yifei was only 16 years old, which was about the same age as Wang Yuyan in the book, so Zhang Ji made a decision to let Liu Yifei play Wang Yuyan, and the role of Azhu could only be played by Liu Tao.
I have to say that the bearded man's vision is still very poisonous, and Wang Yuyan, played by Liu Yifei, is fresh and unconventional, with a smile and a fairy spirit, no wonder he can make Duan Yu's five fans and three ways.
Even Jin Yong said to Liu Yifei: If you play Xiaolongnu, thousands of readers will not call me nonsense!
The old man said that just a few years later, he was still a bearded man as the producer of "The Condor Heroes", Liu Yifei starred in Xiaolongnu, which can be regarded as fulfilling a wish of old Mr. Jin Yong, and also satisfied the hearts of countless readers.
And although Liu Tao missed Wang Yuyan, she also performed the unique Azhu.
When I watched the TV series at that time, the editor's favorite was Azhu, and I hoped that she could go to Shepherd Saiwai with Qiao Feng, and as soon as she died, I was almost not interested in looking down.
Lu Yisan refused Zhang Jizhong three times
The role in the play is not only Wang Yuyan, and Duan Yu's casting is not smooth.
Here I have to mention a person - Lu Yi, he is a man who has not entered the martial arts of Jin Yong three times, Lu Yi at that time was a popular fried chicken in the entertainment industry, and became an idol in the hearts of countless girls with his outstanding appearance.
His appearance is even recognized by Zhang Jizhong , and the bearded man has asked Lu Yi to film three times.
The first time was to hit the bearded man and prepare Lu Yi to play the role of Lin Ping in "Swordsman", but he refused, on the grounds that he preferred the role of Ling Foxhong in the play.
The second time was to find Lu Yi to play the role of Yang Kang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Lu Yi refused again, he said that he wanted to play Guo Jing.
As a result, the role of Yang Kang was Zhou Jie, who was on fire at that time due to "Huanzhugege" and "Young Bao Qingtian".
The third time was when preparing for the filming of "The Eight Dragons", Duan Yuyushu in the play was in the wind, dashing and uninhibited, and the bearded man thought of letting Lu Yi play it, unsurprisingly, Lu Yi refused again, he wanted to play Qiao Feng.
At this time, the corner of Qiao Feng had been given to Hu Jun, so for this cooperation, it was not enough, and I have to say that Lu Yi really went around from Jin Yong's martial arts world.
Some netizens laughed and said: Zhang Jizhong wants Lu Yi to be the face bearer, but Lu Yi always thinks about the male number one!
After Lu Yi refused, Zhou Yumin, Zhang Chao, and Ma Yuke all tried the play.
Ma Yuke even finished taking makeup photos at that time, just waiting for the start of shooting, who thought that the start of filming was imminent, and his role was suddenly replaced by You Tanzhi.
And Duan Yu was finally determined to be played by Lin Zhiying, and when the media broke the news that Lin Zhiying played Duan Yu, it caused a boycott from the majority of netizens.
Many people call it directly, letting Lin Zhiying play Duan Yu is the biggest failure of this drama, although he has good looks, but he has no acting skills, and the little fish in "Peerless Double Pride" is the best proof.
After the TV series was broadcast, everyone was conquered by Lin Zhiying's Duan Yu, Lin Zhiying stood with Liu Yifei and Jiang Xin, who were many years younger than him, without the slightest sense of discord, many people thought to themselves, really Duan Yu is like this!
Jiang Xin disliked Lin Zhiying
Although Lin Zhiying's Duan Yu is good, he was disliked by Jiang Xin when filming.
Who would have thought that the ageless male god was disliked and too old twenty years ago.
Friends who have watched "The Eight Dragons" know that there is a paragraph in the play where Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing were caught and imprisoned in the Valley of the Wicked by Duan Yanqing, and the two were also given aphrodisiacs, which inevitably had intimate scenes.
And at that time, when filming this section, Jiang Xin couldn't enter the state, which made the director a little annoyed, and Jiang Xin had no choice but to say his thoughts.
It turned out that Jiang Xin was only 19 years old at the time, and she was embarrassed to shoot such a large-scale scene, not to mention that Lin Zhiying was many years older than her, which made her even more embarrassed.
So Jiang Xin found out if the director could delete this scene, as a director, of course, he couldn't let the actor delete and modify the scene at will, and rejected her.
However, the director did give her a trick, he asked Jiang Xin to treat herself as a leopard and Lin Zhiying as a piece of meat, and go up and gnaw it.
At that time, Jiang Xin jokingly said to Lin Zhiying: My first kiss on the screen is going to give you such an old man!
Lin Zhiying, who was not convinced, thought about how to retaliate against Jiang Xin at that time, when the two were going to film a kissing scene in the afternoon, when they ate at noon, Lin Zhiying ate garlic frantically, Jiang Xin was unwilling to suffer losses when he saw this, and also ate a lot of garlic.
When the filming officially started, the two people moved forward with their mouths, Lin Zhiying was the first to be unable to carry it, and hurriedly stopped asking the assistant to find a piece of chewing gum, and with the help of chewing gum, the two successfully completed the shooting!
After reading this, do you have the urge to relive it?
