preface
The theme of martial arts has been favored by the film and television industry since ancient times, whether it is Gu Long or Jin Yong, or even postmodern martial arts, they have undergone many adaptations and remakes. Among them, the remake of Jin Yong's martial arts works is a favorite topic in the film and television industry. Today, we will focus on the character of "Zhou Botong" in different versions and explore which version is the most popular with the audience.
Ning Wentong (7)
Perhaps many viewers are not too familiar with Ning Wentong, but he has accumulated a lot of wonderful works in his acting career over the years, such as "The Wind Rises in Luoyang" and "County Party Committee Compound". However, the role of "Zhou Botong" he played in the 17th version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be said to be the "Zhou Botong" closest to the hearts of modern audiences.
In this version, Zhou Botong played by Ning Wentong is the most sloppy and unkempt one. Due to his own rounder face, his appearance is even more cute. Although Ning Wentong does not have many roles in the play, his witty and humorous interpretation of the role is impressive. In the 19th version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", he was once again invited to play the role of the miracle doctor Hu Qingniu, but his image is completely different from that of Zhou Botong, which also makes the audience feel the multifaceted nature of his acting skills. However, some people think that Ning Wentong's Zhou Botong is a little too exaggerated, especially his braided mustache and round face, which make people feel a little incongruous and leave some small
Blemish. Compared with other versions, Zhou Botong played by Ning Wentong still has room for improvement.
Zhou Dehua(6)
Andy Chow also played the role of Zhou Botong in 2015's "The Condor Heroes", but his version is full of cuteness. This image of "Zhou Botong" made many viewers feel out of the play. In the play, his overall appearance and performance are full of childlike fun, he seems to be the embodiment of an "old child", and even has pigtails on his beard.
However, Andy Chow's performance in the play often seems a little stiff, and this version also makes Zhou Botong relatively unprominent because Chen Yanxi plays the little dragon girl. The costume design in the play often makes people feel that it is not suitable enough, so this version is jokingly called "the worst version" by many audiences. In addition, Zhou Dehua's face is relatively round, which makes the "Zhou Botong" he plays more like a chubby child.
Zhou Dehua began to get involved in the showbiz as early as 2001, although he was not popular, his acting skills also have a certain status in the industry. He was awarded the Tokyo Film Art Special Contribution Award for his role in "Heavenly Lovers". However, in this version, he failed to deduce the true essence of "Zhou Botong", and the audience was not amazed by his performance.
Li Yu (5)
Li Yu, as the son of the "old drama bone" Li Baotian, has been attracting much attention since he entered the industry. He co-starred with his father in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" in 1995, and then participated in many Jin Yong martial arts dramas. However, his performance didn't resonate much.
In Li Yapeng's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Li Yu played the role of Qiu Qianren, but his performance was mediocre. In 2002's "Dragon Babu", he starred as the South China Sea crocodile god Yue Laosan, but compared to the classic version, his performance made the audience feel average. In the 2008 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Li Yu's Zhou Botong looks lively and cute, but some of the actions are too exaggerated, and his short figure fails to fully show Zhou Botong's image, leaving the impression of using too much force.
In this version, not only Zhou Botong, but other characters have also failed to penetrate into the hearts of the people, including Guo Jing played by Hu Ge and Huang Rong played by Ariel Lin, all of which make the audience feel that they do not match the image of the characters. On the whole, this version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" did not perform well in the minds of the audience.
Zhao Liang(4)
Zhao Liang, perhaps a little-known actor, has appeared in relatively few film and television works. He played Zhou Botong in Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 2003, but his appearance and performance were unsatisfactory. His image of Zhou Botong's black hair and black beard looks out of place compared with other versions of the image of steamed buns and flowers, and is more like the young and strong Lu Zhishen.
In addition, Zhao Liang's childishness in the play is too exaggerated, giving people an unnatural feeling. His performance also has some elements that are too fierce, which is far from the image of "Zhou Botong", so this version is also considered one of the least favorite versions of the audience.
Lai Yiu Cheung (3)
Li Yaoxiang, as TVB's "old drama bone" and "three-time TV emperor", is very famous in the entertainment industry. However, in terms of Jin Yong's martial arts dramas, his performance is not outstanding.
Although Li Yaoxiang has participated in many Jin Yong martial arts dramas, his version of Zhou Botong did not leave a deep impression on the audience. His Zhou Botong style is black hair and black beard, which is different from other versions, which makes him more like a young samurai than an old urchin.
In addition, when it comes to acting, his acting skills appear a bit stiff and sometimes give the impression of pushing too hard. On the whole, this version of Zhou Botong did not penetrate into the hearts of the people and left a general impression on the audience.
summary
The "Zhou Botong" character in each version has its own characteristics and shortcomings. The audience has different opinions on the most popular version, but in any case, each actor strives to interpret this classic role in his own performance, leaving a variety of different impressions on the audience.
Revelation:
Observing the performance of Zhou Botong's characters in different versions, we can draw some enlightenment, especially about the actor's performance and the restoration of the role. First of all, the appearance and image of the actor are crucial to the restoration of the character. Because of his rounder face, Ning Wentong successfully presented Zhou Botong's cute image, but there may be some small ones in other aspects
Blemish. Zhou Dehua's Zhou Botong is too cute because of his appearance and image, and he has a sense of drama with the original image. Li Yu's performance was restricted by the exaggerated movements of his figure and role, and failed to fully restore Zhou Botong's image. Zhao Liang's appearance and performance also dissatisfied the audience, because his Zhou Botong is far from the image of the old naughty boy in the original book.
This tells us that when an actor plays a classic role, he not only needs to have excellent acting skills, but also needs to take into account the image and role restoration, so as to truly restore the characteristics and temperament in the original work. The audience usually has expectations about the characters in the original book, and the actor needs to do his best to meet these expectations, otherwise it may cause a sense of drama and affect the quality of the work and the audience's acceptance.
In addition, the character's personality traits are also a key factor. Ning Wentong successfully presented Zhou Botong's witty characteristics, which impressed the audience. However, Andy Chow's Zhou Botong gives people a feeling of puffing and whirring, which is contrary to the image of the character, so the actor needs to understand the inner qualities of the character in order to accurately present it.
Summary:
In several versions of Jin Yong's martial arts works, Zhou Botong's different interpretations present a variety of ways for actors to choose and shape their roles. The audience has different evaluations and preferences for different versions of Zhou Botong, which reflects the key role of the actor's performance and image building in presenting the character.
Looking at the performances of the actors in different versions, we can draw some important takeaways. First of all, the appearance and image of the actor are crucial to the restoration of the character. Audiences often have specific expectations about the characters in the original book, and actors need to do their best to meet these expectations in order to avoid a sense of drama. Secondly, the actor needs to deeply understand the character's personality traits in order to accurately present them. Zhou Botong's image as an old naughty boy needs to have a certain sense of humor and humor, which is the key to the actor's successful restoration of the role.
In the end, the audience has different preferences for different versions of Zhou Botong, which also reflects the diversity of the actors' performances and the subjective feelings of the audience. In any case, an actor should try his best to maintain the original flavor of the character when creating a character, while injecting his own characteristics into the performance to create a unique and profound character image. This not only impresses the audience, but also enhances the quality and appeal of the work. Therefore, actors need to comprehensively consider multiple aspects such as image, personality, and emotion when creating classic characters to present the best performance effect.
