In the field of domestic film and television dramas, remakes have always been a "pit".
Every once in a while, there is news of a remake of the drama hitting the street.
Among them, most remakes are often ruined by "acting".
On this side, is the new version of "Luding Ji" with as low as 3 points;
Wei Xiaobao, played by Zhang Yishan, used all kinds of excessive force, which made the sharp-billed monkey gills version of Wei Xiaobao refresh the external cognition, and also made the work shocking.
On the other side, is Ju Jingyi's version of "The New White Lady";
Compared with the bland acting tension of the starring actor, only the "white to exaggerated" filter is remembered, and the 4.4 score is not unjust.
Recently, the name of "On the Wrong Flower Palanquin Married to Lang" was added to the ruined classic series.
"Happy Event", adapted from the same IP, attracted criticism because of the embarrassing acting skills of young actors, and the score was directly discounted, from 8.6 in the old version to 4.2 points in the new version.
But if the acting skills keep up, can the remake reviews keep up?
Not quite.
Here, there is also a special case.
In 2011, "New Bright Sword" starring Huang Zhizhong was a similar situation.
Unlike other failed remakes, "New Bright Sword" has a lot of acting skills.
Compared with the old version of "Bright Sword", which uses a large number of group performances, "New Bright Sword" has invited well-known actors such as Huang Zhizhong, Guo Jinglin, Gan Tingting, and Ren Quan.
Judging by the average acting content, the new version is good.
At the same time, in order to avoid excessive plot deviation, this edition also invited Du Liang, the author of the original book, to be the screenwriter.
Looking sideways and vertically, the lineup of this new version is very good, but the final score of 4.7 points disappointed some viewers who were originally looking forward to the show.
The original is understandably too classic to surpass.
But the score hasn't even reached 5 points, and this "New Bright Sword" with a lot of acting skills can't be said to be passable, right?
So, what's the problem?
In Bluestone's view, the fundamental gap between the new and old "Bright Sword" is not in the acting skills.
The essential gap lies in the fact that the people in the crew do not understand the script thoroughly.
Intuitively, we can use four scenes to see the starkness of both sides...
One: The same "monk eating banquet", one like hungry for 10 days, the other like tired of eating
In the old version of "Bright Sword", there is a scene that can make countless people hungry, that is, the scene where the character Wei monk eats.
In the plot setting, the male protagonist Li Yunlong and his subordinate monks infiltrated the birthday banquet of Japanese officers and tried to assassinate high-ranking Japanese officials.
And in the face of the table full of mountain and sea delicacies at the Japanese banquet, the two did not hold back the gluttony and directly ate the sea and stuffed it.
Among them, the monk played by Zhang Tong textbook interprets the definition of the four words "gobbling".
Looking at the table full of unseen delicacies, the monk directly grabbed it with his hands.
He grabbed the chicken leg with one hand, grabbed the peanut rice in the other, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a wine jug to drink a few sips.
While glancing at the table with both eyes, the character, completely ignoring the appearance of eating, gives the impression of being hungry for days.
Then, the scene of him picking up a plate and pouring peanuts into his mouth left a deep impression on countless audiences with his joyful appearance.
Many netizens also ridiculed that this is the first time they have seen someone "drinking peanuts".
In this 1-minute scene, the monk's funny eating appearance can definitely make people look hungry.
But when it comes to the new version of "Bright Sword", the same scene is obviously almost meaningful.
The new version of the monk's "eating appearance" interpretation, the overall rhythm is not quite right.
The early deduction is "too light", but the later deduction is "too strong".
In the early plot, compared with the gobbling up of the old version of the monk, the new version of the monk is relatively Sven's "chewing slowly."
Facing the food on the table, his way of eating is also "civilized" a lot.
First, he ate the food on the table unhurriedly, and then he picked up the chopsticks and slowly clamped them up.
Judging from his slow appearance, he still seems to be picky and choose, and he looks tired of eating these seafood.
And this is obviously not in line with the setting of the character Wei Monk's poor background and never seen the world.
In the later plot, the actor's eating appearance changed rapidly.
After being gradually noticed by the Japanese officers, this version of the monk ate it openly, eating roast chicken in an "exaggerated eating method" that was afraid that others would not be able to find out.
This provocative way of eating also changes the character's character taste a lot.
And the "disconnection" of the new version of the monk's eating before and after not only completely surpasses the original, but also logically makes people watch the play.
Two: The same is the "victorious military parade", one is honest, and the other is dumbfounded
When it comes to the famous scene of "Bright Sword", how can there be no classic "victory parade".
In Qingshi's view, in the old and new versions of "Bright Sword", the biggest difference in interpretation effect is this scene.
The old version of "Bright Sword" has created for us an image of a little soldier Wang Yousheng who is in his bones.
The highlight of cosplayer Cao Qifeng's performance is that "using N expressions to interpret the same attribute".
This little soldier who guarded the materials but was robbed, although there are many expressions in just a few minutes, but behind each expression, we can read his "han".
When he found the materials of the national army, Wang Yousheng, who was happy for his meritorious service, had joy in his eyes, and his cheeky smile was pure at this moment.
And when he was ordered to guard the supplies, he was triumphant, and he couldn't hide his joy in his eyes at all.
That innocent smile, combined with a little sluggish body language, shows the cute energy of the character.
Then, whether it was crying helplessly immediately after the materials were robbed, or when Li Yunlong supported his waist and the character came to be refreshed, the actor played the emotional transformation of this straightforward guy very real.
Although Wang Yousheng's actor Cao Qifeng is only a group actor, I have to say that in this few minutes of the scene, he acted quite brilliantly, and people couldn't help but sigh that "masters are in the people".
But compared with the old version of the "victorious military parade", the interpretation of the new version disappointed Bluestone.
For Wang Yousheng's interpretation, the new version of the actor tends to be superficial, basically "using only one expression to play multiple emotions".
Throughout the scene, the cosplayers always have a "dumbfounded" look.
Whether it is guarding the materials, intercepting the materials, or the final outburst scene, the characters are all that cute and innocent face.
The character just smiled flat when intercepting the materials, and did not cry sadly when the materials were snatched back, still with that confused look.
Even when he complained to Li Yunlong, he looked dumbfounded.
The performance is too homogeneous, and people can't see the tension of the characters.
Obviously, although the old version of Wang Yousheng is a dragon set character, he has at least been played as a "cute passerby".
But in the new version of Wang Yousheng, the tensionless performance completely reduced the character to a "real passerby".
Three: The same is "avenging the monk", one is angry, the other is on his toes
Comparing two relatively joyful famous scenes, below we compare a relatively tragic - Li Yunlong avenge the monk.
In the plot, Wei Monk, a guard of the Independent Regiment, was attacked by bandits during the delivery of the letter and had his head cut off for public display.
The male protagonist Li Yunlong, who learned the news, instantly burst out, completely ignoring that this gang of bandits had been taken in by Kong Jie, but angrily wanted to avenge his brother.
For this revenge scene, actor Li Youbin used many details to interpret the "fury" of the character.
In the expression of the expression, in addition to the angry face, the more he shouts, the more hideous the facial curve, reflecting the character's soaring anger value at the moment.
In the shouting tone, behind the high-pitched shout, Lao Li's faintly mixed trembling tone, in addition to the element of "anger to trembling", is also mixed with the stunned feeling that is difficult to accept the death of his brother.
In the face of the persuasion of his old friend Kong Jie, Li Yunlong's aura that can kill people in his eyes can definitely shock people.
Across the screen, the audience can also feel the irrepressible fire of the character.
Although there are no tears of the characters here, under Li Youbin's extremely tense interpretation, the brotherhood between Li Yunlong and the monk bursts into tears everywhere.
But in the new version of "Bright Sword", this revenge scene is difficult to say.
From the perspective of the interpretation of the strength of anger, the new version of Li Yunlong can only be regarded as "livid face" at most, far from reaching the feeling of "extreme anger".
And starting from the scene where Kong Jie came to stop, the style of the entire revenge scene was more directly off.
When faced with the dissuasion of his old friend, the new version of Li Yunlong raised the other party with his head high, and there was a faint smug in his eyes.
But this scene makes people completely unable to see the sense of urgency for revenge of the characters, and the character looks a little broken.
In the follow-up attack on the Black Wind Village, the collapse of the character was more thorough.
Under the black wind village, the new version of Li Yunlong was pacing lazily back and forth with a big knife, and his eyes were also quite impatient.
Such a interpretation actually diluted the relationship between Li Yunlong and the monk.
It seems that at this moment, Li Yunlong only wants to find the field for "folding the guards", not to avenge his brother who saved him twice.
Shooting like this really "shot small" the role of Li Yunlong.
Four: The same "Chu Yunfei defeated and retreated", one holding soil with both hands to take away homesickness, and the other grabbing soil with one hand to take away beautiful women
The last famous scene was compared to the scene where the general of the national army, Chu Yunfei, was defeated and retreated.
In the later part of the plot, as the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party came to an end, Chu Yunfei was also forced to leave the mainland due to camp problems.
Before leaving, the patriotic general's "farewell" to his hometown was extremely moving.
Knowing that he would eventually be separated from his homeland for a long time, Chu Yunfei's eyes, which were originally empty-eyed, finally softened.
Before leaving, he also looked at everything around him with incomparable nostalgia.
From the towering trees of his homeland to the endless sky, his eyes were everywhere, and Chu Yunfei's eyes were full of reluctance.
Sometimes sighing, sometimes sluggish, his expression also had a full of helplessness.
Before getting into the car, he also reverently held the loess in both hands and carefully handed it to his subordinates for safekeeping.
At this moment, the indescribable sadness in the character's eyes also makes the character of the horn a little more pathetic.
In the new version of "Bright Sword", Guo Jinglin's version of Chu Yunfei's parting style has completely changed.
At the time of defeat, the version of Chu Yunfei was looking into the distance with a livid face, and his eyes were not so much nostalgic for his homeland as he was still distressed by the war.
Compared with the old version of the pious two-handed holding soil, the new version of Chu Yunfei relatively casually grabbed a handful of loess with one hand and fell into deep thought.
From the point of view of emotional strength, this undoubtedly reduces the sentimental atmosphere of the characters a lot.
And if the previous plot details are still within an acceptable range, what makes Qingshi feel more puzzled is that there are some "plot modifications" that add to the snake.
As Chu Yunfei paced to read poems to express his sentimentality, behind his lonely side was a beautiful reporter.
Judging from the affectionate gaze of this beauty, there is a bit of a story between her and Chu Yunfei.
And this also makes the original sentimental painting style of the homeland produce an ambiguous atmosphere that makes people play.
With Chu Yunfei's painting style of leaving comfortably with a beautiful reporter, I have to say that this scene has completely changed compared to the original.
The above are the four famous scenes in the eyes of Qingshi with the most obvious gap between the old and new versions of "Bright Sword".
There are many similar disparities.
For example, the crying of Political Commissar Zhao Gang in front of Li Yunlong's bed;
In the old version, He Zhengjun's version of Zhao Gang "urged" his old friend to wake up quickly with a gradual change of emotions.
This scene shows the tender side of the character in the army, and also makes people feel the true affection of the two old comrades-in-arms.
In the new version, Ren Quan's version of Political Commissar Zhao is obviously too weak, and the feeling of crying makes it difficult to enter the play.
Another example is the section where the brigade commander is angry;
The old version of the brigade commander seems to blow all kinds of beards and glare, but in fact, the rhythm of anger is very steady.
When he should be angry, he can train Li Yunlong not to speak, but when it is time to relax, he can also express his love for his subordinates with a playful painting style.
But in the new version, the brigade commander lost a bit of a relaxed feeling.
Whether it is static or dynamic, the temperament of the new version of the brigade commander is biased towards the polite style of painting, and the momentum is also a lot lost compared to the old version.
The same plot, but different interpretations, but bring a different visual perception to the audience.
Although "New Bright Sword" starring Huang Zhizhong and others are out-and-out acting skills, frankly speaking, their acting skills are used in the wrong place.
Due to the lack of thorough understanding of the characters, their performance is obviously too far from the original "Bright Sword", and the score of 4.7 is not too wrong.
Obviously, the remake is a technical job, it can not be completed by blindly discharging the lineup, and without reading the sincerity of the entire work, the remake will definitely overturn.
Everything is exactly what the saying is - don't work on porcelain without diamonds!
