In 2017, Hong Kong director Jiang Jiajun decided to remake it again with his deep love for "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter".
As the saying goes: the pearl jade is in front, and the tiles are difficult.
Jiang Jiajun's move is undoubtedly to dig a pit for himself and dig a big pit.
Outside the pit, there are already people carrying small stools, ready to watch jokes, and even more, waiting for the opportunity to fill the pit with spit stars.
However, what people did not expect was that once this version of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" was broadcast, it not only did not disappoint the old "Jin Yong fans", but also attracted a large number of new viewers after the 90s and 00s.
While the new "Shooting Eagle" has won praise, there is no lack of controversy.
For example, to "whitewash" Yang Kang and Mu Nianci, the treatment of some special effects shots is uneven, allowing the audience to play in minutes.
Netizens began to miss the grand situation when the 83rd edition of "Shooting Eagle" was broadcast, and the crowded alleys were unsurpassable!
Looking back at the 83rd edition of the main actors of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero", some people are still active on the screen at the age of 90, some people have long been silent, and some people have unfortunately passed away at the age of 26.
Huang Rihua (Guo Jing)
In 1980, 19-year-old Huang Rihua graduated from the TVB Artist Training Class. After running the dragon set for a whole year, he finally opened up his popularity in Hong Kong with the TV series "Passerby". After that, with the role of "Brother Jing" in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", it was popular all over the two sides of the strait and three places.
During that time, Huang Rihua, sitting firmly on the throne of first-line actors, opened the "hegemonic screen mode", leaving behind classic works such as "The Legend of the New Flying Fox" and "The Green Blood Sword".
Even the great writer Yi Shu said: I like Huang Rihua like this, I can't say why I came. He is as pure and lovely as a blank piece of paper, looks beautiful, needless to say, and his acting skills are also first-class, as if he is born with unlimited potential.
Huang Rihua is stupid and dedicated in the "Shooting Eagle" drama, and is the kind of man who makes you feel that you can rely on it for a lifetime. In real life, he is also a lover.
He and his wife, Liang Jiehua, met in 1980, and after several splits and mergers, they finally came together.
In order to enjoy a quiet life with his wife, after the expiration of the wireless contract, Huang Rihua quit the entertainment circle.
Unfortunately, his wife, Liang Jiehua, developed acute leukemia in 2013.
Huang Rihua accompanied his wife to fight the disease for seven years, and finally fought against the ferocity of the disease, and he lost the "Rong'er" in real life.
The departure of his wife made him quieter and rarely took the work again.
Zhang Zhilin, who also played "Brother Jing", did not have the same life as the same role.
Although the audience complained that the costume shape was not good-looking, and his face was too round and fat, his family and career were as plump and round as his face plate.
From time to time, he and his wife Yuan Yongyi participated in some variety shows, loved and interesting, and became a rare "model couple" in the entertainment industry.
Weng Meiling (Huang Rong)
"Brother Jing" lost his beloved, while "Rong'er" martyred for love.
Thinking back to that year, she flicked a willow branch in her hand, her cherry lips wanted to move, and her eyes would flow.
When Weng Meiling went to participate in the audition for "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", she had not yet started performing, and only made a stroke to the judges and teachers, and Jin Yong directly clapped: This is the Huang Rong in my heart! That's her!
In the play, she is a strange little witch, she is the royal chef of Hong Qigong, and she is Guo Jing's irreplaceable cinnabar mole.
She is ruthless and willful, but not unreasonable, clever and clever, and not losing her cunning and funny.
Hong Qigong was coaxed into submission by her sweet words, and Guo Jing was conquered to the ground by her beauty.
But outside the play, she lost her mind in love, suffering from gains and losses.
A love affair with Tang Zhenye, in addition to the sweetness at the beginning, the rest is a quarrel.
Once, Tang Zhenye and his friends went swimming in Repulse Bay, and Weng Meiling actually chased after him and had a big fight with him.
Tormented by love for a long time, the fierce Weng Meiling chose to kill herself by gas.
The news came out and there was an uproar.
At that time, she was only 26 years old, always fixed in the most beautiful appearance, but she could no longer bloom fragrance.
Weng Meiling's departure made Tang Zhenye bear the infamy, collapsed, and finally fell to shoot "three J films".
But Tang Zhenye never defended himself, nor did he ever think of breaking the original truth. The truth of Weng Meiling's suicide has become a mystery that can never be solved.
Now, 36 years after Weng Meiling's death, her friend "Guo Jing" offers flowers and worship every year, and we can only miss the "pretty Huang Rong" on the screen.
Miao Qiaowei (Yang Kang)
Before filming "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", Miao Qiaowei was not famous, and only acted in a decent TV series - "Flying Over the Eighteenth Floor".
Subsequently, he participated in the role of Yang Kang, the "little prince" in the 83rd edition of "Shooting Eagle", although the role was not much, he was greatly praised for his superb acting skills.
Even Mr. Jin Yong said: Yang Kang, played by Miao Qiaowei, is even better than I can write.
Although Miao Qiaowei has some fame, he did not continue to develop in the show business circle with a single blow, turned his head from business, and did a lot of noise, becoming a "business tycoon".
In 1987, Miao Qiaowei completely withdrew from the entertainment industry in order to concentrate on taking care of his own business. The streets of Hong Kong in the 1990s were full of his eyewear chain, about 50 or so.
The business sea is floating and sinking, the clouds are unpredictable, and a financial crisis has made him return to the show business circle at the age of 46.
In 2017, he appeared in the "Legend of the Archery Hero" directed by Jiang Jiajun, only this time he played the "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi.
I have to say that director Jiang Jiajun actually understands the market very well. This Easter egg bought the hearts of a large wave of old audiences, and countless female fans called for Miao Qiaowei madly: "The more mature the more manly." ”
This year's Miao Qiaowei, the scenery is unlimited. At the age of 59, he won the throne of Malaysia's "Emperor of Sight" for the first time with the role of "Zhuo Kai" in the TV series "Acts 2".
He told everyone with his actions: The return is still the king.
Today's Miao Qiaowei, as he grows older, has put the focus of his life on his family, and acting has become his side business.
Yang Panpan (Mu Nianci)
9-year-old Yang Panpan followed his mother to the set to play, the set was temporarily short of people, the director coaxed Yang Panpan to save the scene.
This scene is to cry, and Yang Panpan is like a natural actor, who began to cry non-stop as soon as he faced the camera, and cried extremely sadly.
The actors on the scene praised this little doll, and it was this appearance in "Fast Sword" that made her successful debut.
In 1983, Yang Panpan played Mu Nianci, who was obsessed with Yang Kang, in "Shooting Eagle".
The moth's eyebrows were deep, her eyes were tearful, and her pitiful and beautiful appearance made the selfish Yang Kang fall under her pomegranate skirt.
No one could have imagined that Yang Panpan was born in a family of scholars with a prominent background, but he liked Chinese kung fu since he was a child.
While filming, she learned various martial arts, and she has long become a heroic "kung fu" actress with real kung fu.
But such an action actor had to portray a role with complex inner emotions, which made many people secretly sweat at that time.
Kung Fu is real, and the acting skills are superb.
She said: "As soon as I enter the studio, I feel that I love Yang Kang very much, I am willing to do a lot of things for him, how Yang Kang changes, I will naturally go with him." ”
Gu Pan was affectionate, and I saw pity. Her every look and movement has completely entered the role, and she has truly achieved "quiet as a virgin moving like a rabbit".
But "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" did not make her jump to the front line. Later, she went behind the scenes and became an executive producer. The "Night Fork" and "Shaolin Zombies" that we are familiar with are produced by her.
Today, she has opened a martial arts studio, and she is less feminine, but more handsome. It was hard to imagine that she was the gentle and lovely Mu Nianci.
Zeng Jiang (Huang Yaoshi)
In 1955, Zeng Jiang, who was the protagonist as soon as he entered the show business circle, although he had a smooth ride along the way, he could not talk about great popularity.
It wasn't until he was 49 that he met the 83rd edition of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
The paranoid, arrogant, and righteous and evil Huang Yaoshi has become an immortal classic, and the audience laments that he is "the east evil is the evil".
Good actors create roles, but they are not bound by roles. A "I Am Good" once again pushed him to the peak of his acting career.
Zeng Jiang, who has always played the "big villain", is also as untamed as Huang Yaoshi in life. His reputation in the circle is very bad, some people say that he has a "bad temper", some people say that he "plays a big card".
What about the facts? Only because he has a reverence for acting. He can't see the actor's drama is not good, can't see others filming perfunctory, anxious and angry, once the actor Yu Mulian was scolded and cried.
The world saw the surface, but did not delve into the inside, and only then did they have such a wind evaluation.
They did not see that Zeng Jiang's pure and kind heart, his kindness to his wife and stepson, his righteousness to his friends, his warmth towards the world, and his more grumpy temper, were just because he loved it so much that he could not tolerate a single flaw.
Zeng Jiang, who is now 87 years old, will shoot short videos and occasionally interact with netizens, and the softness of his personality will be seen by more people.
Liu Dan (Hong Qigong)
Before joining TVB, Liu Dan was just a dragon set actor. After entering TVB, it ushered in the spring of the acting career.
His most famous role is Feng Jingyao in "Shanghai Beach", who is kind on the surface, but the actual city government is quite deep, dominating the "big guy" of Shanghai Beach, and has become a well-known classic villain.
Just when everyone thought that he could only play this role of hiding a knife in laughter, he played a white-haired, highly skilled Hong Qigong in the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter".
After playing "Hong Qigong", Liu Dan admitted frankly: If I am invited again, I will play Hong Qigong again.
Perhaps the director heard the inner desire, in 1994's "Legend of the Eagle Shooter", Liu Dan really played "Hong Qigong" again.
Liu Dan in real life, like "Hong Qigong", is happy all day. After his son Liu Kaiwei married Yang Mi and gave birth to his granddaughter Xiao Luomi, he almost put all his thoughts on accompanying his granddaughter Xiao Luomi.
The breakdown of his son's marriage is the only deficiency, but with the company of small sticky rice, Liu Dan has become the happiest old man in his later years in "The Legend of the Eagle Hero".
Qin Huang (Zhou Botong)
Qin Huang's early acting experience can be said to be quite tortuous. He first worked as a basic actor at Jiayi TV, and then went to Shaw Film Company, until he officially joined wireless to participate in "The Legend of the Eagle Hero", which made him reach the peak of his career.
At the age of 35, he was stunned to interpret the "old naughty boy" Zhou Botong, who was more than 90 years old in the play, but his mind was only a few years old.
This character seems to be born for him, and Qin Huang seems to have been born for Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
There are countless actors who have acted in Jin Yong martial arts dramas, but Qin Huang is the actor who has starred in Jin Yong dramas the most so far.
He is present in 20 Jin Yong dramas such as "Green Blood Sword", "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", and "Deer Ding".
Today, he lives alone in the mainland. Although he is old, fortunately, his body is still quite strong.
Liu Zhaoming (Master of One Lamp)
When he was young, Liu Zhaoming was very obsessed with dance, and he traveled alone to study at the French Classical Ballet Research Center. After returning to Hong Kong, he opened a dance school specializing in young actors.
In 1979, Liu Zhaoming played a scholar who did not understand martial arts in "Butterfly Change" directed by Xu Ke. Since then, he finally has a name in the entertainment industry.
Although Liu Zhaoming debuted halfway, when he received any role, he would seriously speculate on the character's personality and strive to achieve "human-drama integration".
His diligence allowed him to play the "master of one lamp" who had a bumpy love road and escaped into the empty door in 1983's "Legend of the Eagle Hero".
Countless viewers sighed: after Liu Zhaoming, there is no "one lamp".
Liu Zhaoming in life is much happier than the "Master of One Lamp". He and his wife are almost inseparable, whether it is playing mahjong or filming, they want their wives to accompany them.
Liu Zhaoming's wife, who is a big fan of him, said: She likes every play of Liu Zhaoming, and even often watches his works repeatedly.
Only because of his wife's words, Liu Zhaoming has always insisted on filming.
After "The Legend of the Archery Hero", Liu Zhaoming acted in "Deer DingJi", "Annunciation of the Lucky Star", "No Regrets in This Life" and so on, which is TVB's "gold medal green leaf".
Don't look at Liu Zhaoming's special supporting roles, but he doesn't take any drama. Even if he reaches middle age, he is not willing to play only his father and grandfather, he hopes to play some more challenging roles.
In the movie "Ghost of Qiannu", he subverted the image and played the role of "grandmother" who was half male and half female. His outstanding performance presented the best "grandmother" with the best reputation so far.
In 2013, Liu Zhaoming won the 46th "TVB Thousand Stars And Stars" Award with his own efforts and persistence.
Today, Liu Zhaoming, who is 90 years old, is sometimes invited to make cameo roles, but as a dancer obsessed with dance, he pays more attention to the development of dance.
Huang Wenhui (Mei Chaofeng)
In the 1960s, Huang Wenhui and her brother graduated from the wireless artist training class together and realized their dream of stardom. In the early days, Huang Wenhui was young and beautiful, took the sexy route, and played some villain roles.
Until 1983, Huang Wenhui encountered the "Legend of the Archery Hero" that influenced her life. She plays the sinister and vicious Mei Chaofeng in the play, who kills people without blinking.
Huang Wenhui has become popular all over the country with the negative role of Mei Chaofeng. But her play path has also become narrower, and she can only take on some villains who do not have a small role.
For her, playing a villain has long been "familiar with the road" without any challenge. She decided to fade out of the film and television circle and go to the sea to do business.
She and her brother-in-law co-opened a hotel together, because during that time, "The Legend of the Archery Hero" was still popular, and many people came to see "Mei Chaofeng", so the business of the hotel was very good.
In 1988, the hotel went bankrupt due to poor management, and Huang Wenhui continued to return to the show business circle to run dragon sets.
Huang Wenhui, who is now 74 years old, is still alone. Everyone was puzzled by this, but she said: "Actually, it's good to be single now, you can do whatever you want." ”
Although she has never played a leading role in her life, although she has not been married in her life, she has lived for herself all her life.
Such Huang Wenhui coincides with the "peacock fairy" Yang Liping's outlook on life, and coincidentally, they both played "Mei Chaofeng".
In the 2003 version of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", Yang Liping dedicated her screen for the first time, and the Mei Chaofeng she played surprised almost everyone, and was praised by the audience as "the most beautiful Mei Chaofeng".
Today, like Huang Wenhui, she is still single and lives a pure and comfortable life.
Xie Xian (Yang Tiexin)
At the age of 17, Xie Xian starred in the movie "Downstairs Latch Water Throat". At that time, he was handsome and free, coupled with his acting skills online, and soon became popular.
In 1960, Xie Xian participated in "Divine Eagle Hero", playing the charming Yang Guo, becoming the "first generation" Yang Guo in Jin Yong's pen.
But acting is only one of Xie Xian's hobbies. Xie Xian, who is red, has developed in an all-round way, founded a company, worked as a director, made a cameo appearance as a screenwriter, and shines all the way.
After entering TVB, he even had the name of "Four Brothers" with "King of a Thousand Kings". When bruce Lee, the "king of kung fu", took a picture with him, he had to stand on the side, and when Zhou Runfa saw him, he also had to be called "fourth brother".
Xie Xian of that era, the flow of the table, is no less than today's Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo and other "traffic kings".
Xie Xian, who is red through half the sky, probably forgot that he once played "soy sauce" once in 1983's "Legend of the Eagle Hero".
In 2019, Tse Yin won the supreme "Lifetime Achievement" award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
But for Xie Xian, these meritorious names were nothing more than external things.
His greatest wish is that his sons Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung can remarry and live a knee-length old age with their children and grandchildren. But now it seems that it may just be delusional.
Although Xie Xian is no longer in the entertainment industry, his 80-year-old and 30-year-old girlfriend's heroic love history, just like the 83rd version of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero", is an eternal "legend" in the circle.
It has been 38 years since the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero" was broadcast. But as long as this drama is mentioned, the audience will instantly make up the classic picture of that year.
Although the current situation of the main actors in the play is different, what remains unchanged is the common memories they bring to us, which deserve our eternal gratitude and remembrance.
Although it has been remade countless times, the audience's feelings for this drama are just like the theme song of the 83rd edition of "Shooting Eagle" "Hello in the World": a mountain is still higher than a mountain, and true love is as high as the sky.
Is the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Archery Hero" the white moonlight in your heart?
Is there a clip that you can't help but flip out and relive every once in a while?
