I have never seen such a crazy person as Zhang Jizhong, calling the entire TVB with his own strength, and criticizing Huang Rihua's Qiao Feng in public for not looking good, why is he so crazy? Maybe this is the reason, the launch conference of the 03 version of "Dragon Babu", even if it is put now, it can make people's eyes shine, Hu Jun's chivalrous spirit, Lin Zhiying's handsome son Wen Ruyu's temperament, and Liu Yifei, who is only 15 years old, is fairy, and she amazed everyone as soon as she appeared.
There are also Chen Hao, Jiang Xin, Zhong Liti, these goddesses are beautiful and have their own merits, which is simply unforgettable, just like netizens said, they seem to be characters who came out of the original book, everyone is in line with the role setting, many actors were newcomers at that time, and some had not even filmed yet, but they performed the chivalrous and soft intestines in Jin Yong's martial arts drama, and some people even said that this is a remake that is not lost to the Hong Kong version of Jin Yong's martial arts, but unfortunately it was too hurried back then, and I didn't realize it at that time, this 03 version of "Dragon Babu" has become the swan song of mainland martial arts.
Hello everyone, welcome to Lao Du's story meeting, 20 years later, let's reveal the behind-the-scenes past of the 03 version of "Dragon Babu", Zhang Jizhong, as the first person in the mainland who dares to remake Jin Yong's martial arts drama, you can say that he is not good at anything else, but you must not say that he has a poor vision.
Zhang Jizhong once bought the copyright of Mr. Jin Yong's work with 1 yuan, remade the first version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in the mainland, and helped Li Yapeng, Xu Qing and others quickly become popular.
In 2002, Zhang Jizhong set his sights on "Dragon Babu", which is recognized as the most difficult Jin Yong martial arts in the industry, with as many as 100 characters and a complex plot, Qiao Feng. Duan Yu. The three clues of Xuzhu go hand in hand, and the middle is also interspersed with the love of children in the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to shoot, and with the Hong Kong version of "Dragon Babu" Zhuyu in front, Zhang Jizhong is also under great pressure, and it took a year to prepare just to adapt the script.
The original novel with as many as 100 characters, after the discussion between Zhang Jizhong and director Zhou Xiaowen, decided to go to the complex and simplify the form, and boldly use the role of Qiao Feng, as the soul of "Dragon Babu", which has also been strongly supported by the original author Mr. Jin Yong, after the script is adapted, everyone's biggest headache is the casting problem, but it is also the fairy casting of this drama that allows Zhang Jizhong to have the capital to compete with TVB for up to 20 years in the future.
Some people say that Liu Yifei makes people understand what is a fairy in the painting, do you dare to imagine that Liu Yifei in "Dragon Babu" is only 15 years old, Zhang Jizhong boldly adopts a newcomer, and he is still a "child laborer", but he has created a "fairy sister" in the childhood of the post-90s, but Liu Yifei can appear in this play, which is actually a mistake.
At that time, the crew didn't consider Liu Yifei at all when casting the character of Wang Yuyan, at that time, the crew selected Wang Yuyan among several female stars, but unfortunately they couldn't enter Zhang Jizhong's eyes, until Zhang Jizhong was introduced by a friend and saw Liu Yifei, who was only 15 years old, and he was amazed by Liu Yifei's unstained temperament at a glance, so he immediately decided to let Liu Yifei play the fairy sister Wang Yuyan.
But Liu Yifei was still a newcomer at that time, although he acted in "The Family of Gold Powder" before this, but the family of gold fans was not broadcast when "Dragon Babu" was being filmed, and everyone also questioned Zhang Jizhong's decision, until Liu Yifei went to audition, everyone felt that Wang Yuyan belonged to him, of course, Liu Yifei was not only a "child laborer" in the crew, at that time Zhang Jizhong wanted to find a child to play Tianshan Tong's grandmother, but the children who came to audition could not satisfy him.
Liu Yifei, a family of gold powder
In the end, Zhang Jizhong accidentally saw Shu Chang's works, compared with Liu Yifei, Shu Chang was already a well-known child star back then, participated in the first TV series at the age of 5, released his first solo album at the age of 10, and sold more than 100,000 copies. Shu Chang not only broadened his acting career through this role, but also ushered in another wave of his career peak.
And Chen Hao, who was only 25 years old at the time, already had the title of heartthrob, she was called to audition for the role of Ah Zhu, but Chen Hao wanted to challenge herself, so she persuaded the director to let herself play the villain role of Ah Zi, and the director did not agree at first, after all, the role of Ah Zi can be regarded as one of the best bad guys in the play, with a vicious heart and an extreme personality, but Chen Hao conquered everyone with his acting skills.
After the broadcast of "Dragon Babu", Ah Zi played by Chen Hao was not only not scolded by the audience, but some people began to sympathize with the role of Ah Zi because of her, and some people even said that after watching Ah Zi played by Chen Hao, they knew what it was like for the villain to be whitewashed by the actor's appearance.
Look at Hu Jun's victory over Huang Rihua's version of Qiao Feng with just one scene, and he was also recognized by the original Mr. Jin Yong, in the hearts of many audiences, Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon Babu" is already an unsurpassed classic, but Zhang Jizhong doesn't think so, he once said in an interview that Huang Rihua's version of Qiao Feng is not only ugly, but also lacks some of the hero's toughness in character building, and many plots do not fit the original work.
In the scene of Qiao Feng vs. Gu Mozhi in the original work, Qiao Feng took a lot of effort, but the Hong Kong version of "Dragon Babu", perhaps in order to create Qiao Feng's strength, directly let Qiao Feng kill Gu Mozhi with one palm, which in Zhang Jizhong's opinion lacks some realism, so when he adapted the plot, he deliberately let Qiao Feng, played by Hu Jun, take a lot of effort to defeat Gu Mozhi, and this was also recognized by Mr. Jin Yong, the author of the original work.
In fact, this is also Hu Jun's first time starring in a costume drama, he has always thought that costume dramas are not serious, but after Zhang Jizhong found him, because he liked the role of Qiao Feng, Hu Jun took over this play, in the face of this Jin Yong's first hero, Hu Jun's idea is to perform the heroic spirit of the rivers and lakes, and it turns out that Hu Jun did perform Qiao Feng's pride.
But the most difficult thing in the casting process is not Qiao Feng, but Duan Yu, because only when Duan Yu is determined, his good sisters can find suitable candidates, at the beginning, the crew wanted Lu Yi, who became popular all the way with the young Bao Qingtian, to play Duan Yu, but unfortunately Lu Yi went to make a movie, so Duan Yu, the handsome son, waited for the most suitable Lin Zhiying, although he was 28 years old that year, he created the temperament of the handsome son Wen Ruyu, dare to ask which post-90s girl, never thought of being Duan Yu's fairy sister?
The total investment of "Dragon Babu" that year was more than 30 million, which was definitely a big production, but it almost emptied the budget of the crew, so in other places, the crew could save money, Zhang Jizhong wanted to find someone to record the ending song, in his heart, he only had the voice of Faye Wong, the queen of music, and could sing the short love of the children in the rivers and lakes, so Zhang Ji found Faye Wong.
Because of the shyness in his pocket, he could only ask people how much they needed to be paid, but he didn't expect Faye Wong to be more arrogant and didn't want money, which can make Zhang Jizhong happy, Faye Wong's voice is matched with the plot, coupled with bold adaptation and fairy casting, this 03 version of "Dragon Babu" has been very close to success from the very beginning.
In December 2003, the 03 version of "Dragon Babu" appeared on Zhejiang TV, which triggered a ratings frenzy as soon as it was launched, and the following year "Dragon Babu" won the 22nd China TV Golden Eagle Award and the Best Feature-length TV Drama Excellence Award.
20 years have passed, this is also praised by the audience as the most successful remake of Jin Yong's martial arts drama in the mainland, every role is unforgettable, and even has become difficult to calm in the hearts of many people, that majestic picture of the rivers and lakes, even if many years have passed, but it has always overlapped with our youth, this issue is over here, don't forget to like the collection and support it, we will see you next time!
