Remaking classic film and television dramas is not an easy task, old audiences are worried about spoiling the classics and destroying the impression, new audiences are also difficult to adjust and not necessarily interested, and the final result is that new and old audiences do not buy it, and examples of overturning abound. However, although the remake is likely to be scolded by the audience, there are still many directors and screenwriters who are willing to take the risk to give it a try, and more and more classic film and television dramas are being remade, and this non-classic fairy drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has not been spared from being remade.
On November 3, the new version of "Sword of Immortals" officially announced the cast, and the posters of the protagonists and supporting roles were announced one by one. It can be seen that compared with the old version of "Sword of Immortals", the difference in the image of the actors is still very large.
In the new version of "Immortal Sword", the male protagonist Li Xiaoyao is played by He He, and the old version is played by Hu Ge. Li Xiaoyao's character has a distinct personality, both the eccentricity of the market punks and the righteous arrogance of the rivers and lakes, and he is extremely intelligent and savvy. At that time, Hu Ge was simply the prototype character of the original work, and the role of Li Xiaoyao was perfectly presented to the audience, I don't know if he can surpass his predecessors this time, I can only say that it is "too difficult"!
The new version of "Sword of Immortals" heroine Zhao Linger is played by Yang Yutong, and the old version is played by Liu Yifei. The most important feature of the role of Zhao Linger is full of aura, and it is not easy to perform that fairy and fresh temperament, especially when Zhao Linger is melancholy and sad, Chu Chu touches and loves, and it is even more difficult to control. Yang Yutong is slightly inferior to Liu Yifei in image and temperament, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for her to this play.
The new version of "Sword of Immortals" Lin Yueru, Tang Yu, and Liu Jinyuan are played by Xu Hao, Ye Shengjia, and Li Chuan respectively, and the old version is played by An Yixuan, Peng Yuyan, and Wang Lujiang respectively. I always feel that many young actors are not recognizable now, what kind of performance will the new version of these actors bring?
It is worth mentioning that there are many familiar old drama bones in the new version of "Immortal Sword", including Wang Jinsong who plays the leader of the moon worship sect, Wu Yue who plays the wine sword fairy, Qiu Xinzhi who plays the witch king, Zeng Li who plays the witch queen, etc., undoubtedly their addition adds a lot of color to this drama.
Among the actors, only Aunt Li is still the original Aunt Li, played by the well-known actor Yang Kun. Although Aunt Li does not have many scenes, her distinctive character has left a deep impression on the audience. As soon as you see Aunt Li, you can think of some of the characters and plots in the old version, which can also be regarded as the new version borrowing the traffic of the old version to a certain extent.
In addition, how do you feel about these demons, ghosts and special effects technologies that appear in the new version of "Sword and Fairy"?
In general, from the perspective of the cast, the strength and popularity of the supporting roles are much stronger than the protagonists, and the pattern of old actors partnering with young actors is also very common. Now many film and television dramas lack real martial arts movements, and it is also worth looking forward to whether the new version of "Sword of Immortals" is a little more real kung fu or more special effects technology.
As for whether the newcomers He He and Yang Yutong can surpass Hu Ge and Liu Yifei, really pinch the sweat for them, let's wait and see.
