"Fairy Sword 4" is coming! The casting is a bit of a stretch

Today's domestic dramas are really ruining the classics and are not negotiable, just the casting makes people watch the first two big.

For example, the film version of "Flower Thousand Bone", choosing actors such as Chen Duling , Li Chengbin , etc., just looking at the appearance is in stark contrast to the original version of Zhao Liying and Huo Jianhua.

And the inferior quality of the costume, coupled with the actors' unobtrusive acting skills at all, just looking at the trailer feels like a disaster.

Another example is the "Sword and Fairy 4" that appeared on the hot search, because there was Hu Ge in front of it, and the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series starring Yang Mi and others were compared, and it was also difficult to explain from the adaptability of actors and roles to acting skills.

It can be seen from the audience's evaluation that not only does not have any expectations for "Fairy Sword 4", but "I dare not imagine how ugly such a casting can be".

One, Yun Tianhe vs Chen Zheyuan

In the game, Yun Tianhe is an 18-year-old boy who is familiar with the skills of survival in the wild, is good at hunting wild beasts, and has a high talent in swordsmanship, and from the perspective of personality, he is a person who is very direct and rectilinear in his way of doing things.

This role will be played by Chen Zheyuan, just looking at his appearance, he is indeed full of youth, although he is not 18 years old, but he will not let the audience play. However, the problem lies in Chen Zheyuan's figure and acting skills.

Whether it is from his previous dramas or Reuters photos, Chen Zheyuan's figure is very slender, and Yun Tianhe is a character who is good at hunting wild beasts.

And from the Reuters video, Chen Zheyuan's appearance of practicing swordsmanship is also difficult to believe that this is a character who is proficient in swordsmanship.

This kind of image and temperament is not a little worse than Hu Ge when he performed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", not to mention whether he can benchmark Hu Ge, this appearance alone is 108,000 miles away from Yuntianhe.

Second, Han Lingsha vs Ju Jingyi

In the game, Han Lingsha's character is perennial in the rivers and lakes, a little smart, cheerful and generous, often robbing the rich and helping the poor, unassuming and kind-hearted.

Looking at the character design is indeed very pleasing, as long as the actor plays well, it is easy to gain fans with this role. But it's a pity that it is actor Ju Jingyi who plays Han Lingsha.

Although Ju Jingyi's works have produced a considerable amount of works, none of them can be called a big hit. Ju Jingyi's cookie-cutter interpretation mode, coupled with the 4,000-year-old service Tao, as long as it is a costume drama she starred in, there is not much difference in perception, the only difference is that the actor has been changed.

Judging from the Reuters photos, Ju Jingyi still welds semi-permanent makeup on her face, not only has long hair, which is quite different from the NPC image in the game, and her makeup is no different from that in previous film and television dramas.

This kind of styling adaptation is easy for game fans to accept incompetence, Ju Jingyi's acting skills are a great weapon to persuade her to quit, no matter what kind of emotions she deduces, Ju Jingyi uses the same set of templates, frowning and opening her mouth, it doesn't seem to matter to her whether she can play a good role or not, as long as she doesn't destroy her makeup and styling.

Therefore, even if you cry heartbreakingly in Reuters, you can only see Han Lingsha played by Ju Jingyi howling with her mouth open, which makes people feel the slightest sadness. This kind of acting skills to play the heroine itself is not enough to watch, let alone portraying Han Lingsha in the game, it is conceivable that it will destroy the classics in the hearts of game fans.

Three, Liu Mengli vs Mao Xiaohui

Liu Mengli is also quite popular in the game, as an official lady, she has the elegant temperament of everyone's ladies, and is dignified and generous, intelligent and keen, very single-minded in feelings, and is relatively cold to irrelevant people, but very considerate to those she likes.

Judging from such a character design alone, if you want to stand in the corner of Liu Mengli, the key is to control her cold and beautiful temperament. In the drama version of "Fairy Sword 4", it is actor Mao Xiaohui who plays this role, and the shape of the Reuters photo alone is different from the NPC setting in the game.

Mao Xiaohui's appearance is soft and sweet, and she has the sense of déjà vu of the girl next door, and she has nothing to do with Gao Leng. Even when you don't laugh, you just have a melancholy temperament, and you don't feel like you're thousands of miles away.

Even wearing dark purple clothes, Mao Xiaohui gives people a feeling that she can't hold up, her eyes are too soft, and she is not a little ruthless, such an image is really difficult to support Liu Mengli, a character comparable to a big heroine.

Judging from Mao Xiaohui's past performance in film and television dramas, her interpretation mode tends to babble, especially in "Warm Taste" with Jin Dong, Mao Xiaohui can't wait to make 800 expressions a minute, which is very exaggerated.

With a powerful actor like Jin Dong to play the rival scene, Mao Xiaohui has already shown timidity, but it is conceivable that when she encounters a wave of actors with ordinary acting skills, wouldn't it be even more eyeless?

Fourth, Murong Ziying vs Mao Zijun

There is also a character in "Fairy Sword 4" Murong Ziying is also very important, Murong Ziying is talented and intelligent in the game, and her cultivation is deep, and she is a cold, steady and restrained character.

Just looking at the setting of this role, there are certain similarities with Liu Mengli, and only by grasping the cold characteristics can it fit the role. After the adaptation of the drama version, actor Mao Zijun plays Murong Ziying, who is a little more handsome than the actor Chen Zheyuan in terms of appearance and temperament.

But Mao Zijun has the same problem as Mao Xiaohui, his face is too soft, and it is difficult to perform the most prominent features of the role, which makes it difficult for the audience to see the image of the actor combined with the characters in the game.

And Mao Zijun plays this role, another big problem is the age gap, Chen Zheyuan is 27 years old to play an 18-year-old boy is already a bit far-fetched, but the appearance does not make people play, but Mao Zijun plays Murong Ziying's character is only 19 years old, and he himself is 36 years old.

This means that Mao Zijun has to forcibly pretend to be tender in the play, and Mao Zijun, who is wearing dark clothes in Reuters, is more than enough to interpret the image of his father, but now he wants to portray Xiao Young, which is really a bit too confident.

These actors who do not fit the game setting have made "Sword and Fairy 4" look nondescript, and the unchanged costumes and shapes also make this work unattractive.

Although more than ten years have passed since the first to the third part of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the accurate casting and the acting skills of the actors have made the work still seem to be a classic, on the other hand, "Sword and Fairy 4" is really a classic and not negotiable!

So, what do you think about such a casting?
