MentionIng Duan Zhengchun, everyone can naturally think that this is an abusive lover, so even his son Duan Yu has been named by many people as an abusive lover, and feels that father and son are a virtue. However, in fact, people who have completely watched "Tianlong Babu" know that Duan Yu is actually not Duan Zhengchun's biological son, so is he really an abusive lover? Obviously, many TV drama versions of the screenwriter have given different interpretations, and even shaped him into a dedicated love saint.
In fact, from the perspective of the novel, Duan Yu did not have male and female feelings for Zhong Ling at the beginning, but Zhong Ling unilaterally had feelings for Duan Yu, but also expressed it more subtly. The first person to have a sea oath mountain alliance with Duan Yu was Mu Wanqing, although there was a suspicion of being kidnapped by morality, Duan Yu was also determined to be responsible for her at that time. Only later, Duan Yu mistakenly thought that Mu Wanqing was his sister, and naturally transformed the love between men and women into brother and sister love, but Mu Wan's list was still obsessed. Although it is true that compared to Mu Wanqing, Duan Yu's feelings for Mu Wanqing are not so deep, but this is not a fault, and he does not have subjective negative behavior. Later, Duan Yu's heart has always been on Wang Yuyan, and it can indeed be regarded as single-minded.
If Duan Yu is suspected of abusing love in the end, that is to say, in the later stages of the novel, he did not explicitly reject the friendship between Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, and the newly revised version also accepted the maid of the Princess of Yinchuan and several maids of the Ling Vulture Palace as concubines, but it was obviously different from Duan Zhengchun sleeping everywhere and Wei Xiaobao's active provocation nature, so it was indeed a little wrong to classify Duan Yu directly with Duan Zhengchun and Wei Xiaobao. But to say that he is a love saint is also a bit overcorrected.
According to the above analysis, in order to shape Duan Yu into a dedicated love saint, the first half of the story naturally does not need to be changed, only need to let Duan Yu clear the relationship with Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling in the back, and the two versions of the 1982 version and the 1990 version of the TV series are indeed doing this. Zhong Ling's role was originally not much, and the front was only one-way thinking, which was relatively easy to handle. The 1990 version of Zhong Ling, played by Ge Weiru, was fortunately no longer appearing in the second half of the game, and naturally there would be no emotional entanglement. However, I have to say that although her appearance is good, some of the styles in the play are too modern.
And the 1982 version of "Tianlong Babu" (TVB tv series, not to be confused with the movie version starring the same actor released in the same year) arranged that Zhong Ling and Aju looked the same, played by Huang Xingxiu alone, Zhong Ling after learning that he was Duan Yu's sister, sad and lonely and wanted to commit suicide, but was saved by Xiao Feng, and because he looked like Aju, Xiao Feng empathized with her, she also fell in love with Xiao Feng, naturally there was nothing duan Yu had to do.
And Mu Wanqing is obviously more tricky, she and Duan Yu have a husband and wife appointment, even if she knows that she is Duan Yu's sister, she still can't forget her feelings, and in the end, where does Duan Yu's life reveal her? The screenwriters of the 82 drama version and the 90 drama version have chosen not to do one or two, and directly write Mu Wanqing to death.
Although the 82nd version of Yang Panpan's Mu Wanqing was criticized by some viewers in terms of image, it was very in line with the brutal and fierce image of Mu Wanqing in the original work in terms of character shaping. After this version of Duan Yu (Tang Zhenye) was revealed, Mu Wanqing continued to pester, and Duan Yu, who used his love, had already settled on Wang Yuyan and worshiped Wang Yuyan under the marriage witness of Yue Laosan, so he resolutely refused to comply. Even if Duan Zhengming made the decision to let Duan Yu want both of them, he still did not agree. Later, Murong Fu planned to kill Duan Yu, and overheard Murong Fu's plan of Mu Wanqing rushing to the rescue, and died at Murong Fu's hands. Duan Yu eventually gave Mu Wanqing a name on her tombstone as compensation, and obtained Wang Yuyan's consent.
And the 90 version, as the most serious version of the magic reform of the "Tianlong Eight Parts" TV series, Mu Wanqing's death method is even more bizarre. Duan Yu (Guan Lijie) loses his memory in order to save Wang Yuyan, who is controlled by Hatsuma Zhi with dream control. Murong Fu promised Wang Yuyan to send Duan Yu back to Dali, but secretly ordered his men to kill Duan Yu. Murong Fu's men could not bear it in their hearts and let Duan Yu let him fend for himself, and as a result, Duan Yu was saved by Xuan Ci of the Shaolin Temple. Murong Fu, who had learned the news, again sent people to the Shaolin Temple to kill Duan Yu. At this time, Duan Zhengchun, who could not find Duan Yu everywhere, heard that Duan Yu had been to Yanziwu, so he took Ruan Xingzhu, Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing (Qiu Shuyi) with him to inquire.
After sensing that Murong Fu was deliberately concealing Duan Yu's whereabouts, Duan Zhengchun arranged for Mu Wanqing to marry Murong Fu in order to tell the truth, and promised Murong Fu that if Duan Yu could not find it, he would let his son-in-law inherit the throne, and Mu Wanqing, who was bent on saving Duan Yu, readily agreed. However, just as Mu Wanqing was testing Murong Fu with words, Li Qingluo sent a mother-in-law to kill Murong Fu because Murong Fu had been keeping Wang Yuyan in Yanziwu, and this mother-in-law was beaten up when she assassinated Murong Fu, and when she fell, she turned a corner and directly stabbed Mu Wanqing. Mu Wanqing was dead, and Qin Hongmian also committed suicide directly after complaining about Duan Zhengchun. In this way, naturally Mu Wanqing would no longer have to pestering Duan Yu later, and Duan Yu could be wholeheartedly with Wang Yuyan.
It is worth noting that these strange plots, whether it is the 82nd edition or the 90th edition, are the original works of the TV series screenwriters, and do not conform to any of the original books of the serial version, the revised version, and the century new revision. Some people, because they know the existence of the Ming Pao serial version but have not seen it themselves, mistakenly think that these magic changes in the early TV series are serial versions of the content, which is a misunderstanding that will make the author very depressed.
Of course, in addition, there is another version of Duan Yu who is also a person who specializes in love, but his love is on Mu Wanqing, that is, the 2013 version of Jin Qi Fan playing Duan Yu and Zhao Yuanyi playing Mu Wanqing's "Tianlong Eight Parts". This version according to the newly revised ending, so that Wang Yuyan finally returned to his cousin, the novel was given to Duan Yu to introduce concubines to delete the content, so that Duan Yu to Wang Yuyan from beginning to end is only a different kind of love between men and women (a bit similar to the appreciation of Baoyu and Miaoyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber") on the spiritual level), although it is also a bit of a promotion of Duan Yu's image, but the plot direction generally follows the original book.
In fact, the question of whether Duan Yu is dedicated to it may not be so important in the eyes of many viewers, even if Duan Yu is the first protagonist and wants to try to create a more positive image, it may not necessarily need to be specially specific through emotion. In fact, Duan Yu's feelings for Wang Yuyan are largely a message of affection for the jade statue of the immortal sister in the stone cave, most of the behavior is also wishful thinking, and Wang Yuyan does not care about him in the process, only in the dry well section to have an epiphany, but also with the element of desperate and homeopathic, in the film and television drama in order to complete this relationship that may not be love, it is really the end of the original book.
