14 years later, "Immortal Sword 3" reunited, Tang Yan's absence became a regret, why did the classics of ten years ago endure?

After 14 years, the three starring actors of Xian Jian reunited, and Wang Fried came up.

On Weibo night last week, a photo detonated the circle of friends: Hu Ge, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi in the same frame. Netizens said that without Tang Yan, it is difficult to complete the century combination.

In the history of Chinese film and television, there are only a few TV dramas that can be remembered for more than 10 years. What is the charm of "Sword of Fairy 3"?

01. Seriously, start with casting

At the beginning, Hu Ge did not want to take the script of "Immortal Sword 3" at all.

In 2008, "Immortal Sword 3" director Li Guoli found Hu Ge and wanted him to play the role of Sedum, but Hu Ge refused. The reason is very simple: Sedum's character positioning is too similar to Li Xiaoyao in "Immortal Sword 1", and if it is not handled well, Sedum will become Li Xiaoyao.

However, the power of the fans of Xianjian is quite strong, and they desperately want the director to invite Hu Ge. Under the soft and hard bubble of the director team, Hu Ge promised to re-sort the script, and he finally found that Hu Ge had more "city gas" than Li Xiaoyao Sedum, and decided to agree to take over the position of the male protagonist of "Immortal Sword 3".

Xu Changqing's casting is equally difficult.

In director Li Guoli's heart, Xu Changqing's best candidate is Huo Jianhua, who is clean and handsome and has acted in idol dramas, and he quickly found Huo Jianhua's agency, but he did not expect to encounter another setback.

In the early years of filming "Immortal Sword 1", the director team sought out Huo Jianhua, but was rejected by Huo Jianhua on the grounds that he had no experience in costume dramas and other reasons. Today, many years later, although Huo Jianhua promised "this time it will be", there is no place for "Immortal Sword 3" on the schedule. Seeing this, Li Guoli could only look for new actors again, and he found Qiu Ze, He Junxiang, and even Gu Juji, but he was never satisfied.

In the end, Li Guoli finally invited Huo Jianhua to the crew after offering a very high salary, achieving the classic of this Chinese fairy tale drama.

However, a large amount of money has been given to male actors, what about actresses? Li Guoli thought about it and decided to use a new person, he thought of a "ghost idea" and publicly asked Sedum's girlfriend on the Internet.

Netizens voted for the best candidate: the 22-year-old popular little flower Yang Mi.

Carrying "public opinion", Li Guoli rushed to Yang Mi's brokerage company. As expected, Shuang Ding was rejected because Yang Mi's schedule was also full. At that time, Yang Mi was preparing for a new version of "Dream of Red Mansions", and on a first-come, first-served basis, he could not participate in the filming of "Immortal Sword 3".

When Li Guoli told netizens the news, online public opinion was directly fried. "Yang Mi has played Immortal 3", "Yang Mi is Yukimi", "I don't watch without Yang Mi". The surging netizens called Yang Mi's brokerage company one after another, and under the pressure of public opinion, Yang Mi decided to take over the new "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Immortal Sword 3" at the same time.

It can be said that without the joint efforts of the director team and the audience, there would be no later "Sword of Immortal 3" lineup. From the moment of casting, the show is already inseparable from the audience.

02. Brilliant, destined by the script

How to prove in one sentence that you have watched "Sword of Immortals 3"?

"My name is Sedum, Sedum's view, Sedum's day."

"Dead Caiya, I'm the eldest lady of the Tang family, who is rare for you."

"Brother Huang, Long Kui is the only one who can jump for you."

"I will declare to the whole world that I will marry the Zixuan girl."

"Maomao, we're in Chang'an."

In the story, the love between Sedum and Yukimi is the main line, and a pair of happy wrongdoers contribute a lot of laughs. But "Sword of Immortals 3" not only has the main line, but also the side line.

The bond between Long Kui and Brother Wang, the Lock Demon Tower waited for a thousand years, and when he jumped into the sword forged with blood, fate was originally a reincarnation. Zixuan and Changqing's love, Sansheng III cultivation can not come to cause and effect reunion, a hold of forgetting water, can only look at each other, keep each other into luxury. There is also Xi Yao, who steals the divine fruit for Feipeng, Maomao, who wants to go to Chang'an and can't go, and the Demon Respect Building that pursues the eternal opponent.

Snow falls from the sky, sunflower opens to the sun, mountains become scenery, and evil is born from the sky.

At that time, Yang Mi could also play Yukimi and Yu Yao, two characters with very different personalities. At that time, Tang Yan could also perform the feeling of three different ages from girl to mature. Huo Jianhua and Tang Yan played against each other, and the emotions were just right at different stages, as well as Liu Shishi's peak red and blue double flowers, Hu Ge himself played the four corners, and the corners were different.

And music is a stroke of God.

Sedum Xuemi, the story of "Caiya" and "Pig Po", the theme song is called "Single".

Longkui Longyang, brother-sister relationship has not ended for a thousand years, and the theme song is called "This Life Will Not Change".

Zixuan Changqing, spanning the past life, the theme song is called "Preference".

Heavy building Zixuan, destined to not come together, the theme song is called "Promise Not to Love You".

Mak Zhenhong did his best to reproduce a thousand classical worlds with a variety of folk music such as dulcimer, guzheng, pipa, gourd, ringing bells, etc., which is intoxicating and difficult to let go.

The success of "Sword of Immortals 3" is not the success of one person and one role, but the success of group portraits, in just 37 episodes, excellent scripts, excellent actors, excellent teams, and performed some classics that cannot be performed in 73 episodes.

03. Classic, relying on peers to set off

I once saw a question: which people or things were the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be the peak. I think "Sword of Immortals 3" must be on the list.

The 2008 fairy sword series ushered in an era - the era of costume fairy dramas. Since "Sword of Immortals 3", more and more film and television companies have made efforts on this theme.

But it seems that the more you shoot, the less it tastes.

In the past, fairy tale dramas told modern stories in the skin of ancient costumes: a street gangster can also become a hero who helps the needy, and my life depends on me. Life is precious, love is more expensive, and if it is a death, both can be thrown away.

Today's fairy tale drama is to tell feudal stories in ancient skins: the ancestors of the flood and wilderness who have lived for tens of thousands of years fall in love and give to mortals, as if to say: People are divided into three, six, and nine, and since ancient times, they have always been orderly, and princes will be born noble.

In the past fairy tale dramas, the character shaping was extremely careful, and the clear water came out of the hibiscus, and it was naturally carved.

Today's fairy tale dramas, the character shaping is extremely outrageous, and some "blood-vomiting professionals", from "Liuli" to "Agarwood Crumbs", are like one-click copy and paste.

People seem to have forgotten that the focus of Xian Xia is not on Xian Xia, but on Xia Xia.

What is a chivalry? Tai Shigong said: "Today, although his deeds are not contrary to justice, his words must be believed, his deeds must be fruitful, he has promised to be sincere, he does not love his body, and he has survived and died in his troubles, but he has not been able to do so." ”

Translated into the vernacular: although he behaves perversely, he can speak in a hurry, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life to save people in danger. Just like the early fairy sword series, just like the "fairy sword 3" that has been remembered for ten years.

In this way, people regret that on Weibo night, Tang Yan could not be present and could not complete the century assembly. It is not only a high affirmation of the artistic value of "Immortal Sword 3", but also a helplessness for the current fairy tale drama to become worse and worse.
