On December 15, Zhou Huajian paid tribute to Zhou Haimei at his Shanghai concert and sang the theme song "Sword Like a Dream" of the 94th version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
According to the audience, this song was not in the song list, but was added temporarily, which is Zhou Huajian's own way of remembering Zhou Haimei, who has just passed away.
Zhou Huajian said before the opening: "Life is like a dream, this song is given to the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo - Zhou Haimei." ”
As the familiar prelude sounded, the audience at the concert scene all sang along, but this was not an ordinary concert singer and fans chorus, I think this is more inclined to be the audience saying to Zhou Haimei in the sky: Look, we are so many people singing to you, do you hear it?

I have always believed that a person's departure is divided into body and soul, and if he/she is still loved by countless people, there is no real meaning in leaving the world.
When Zhou Haimei just died, Ma Jingtao's handwritten eulogy missed her, and I wrote a special article, but I didn't expect it to resonate with many netizens (article link: Ma Jingtao misses Zhou Haimei's handwritten eulogy made netizens teary-eyed: This is the most sincere post I have seen so far).
Like me, the 94 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is an old dream of martial arts exclusive to childhood. "Love is also in a hurry, and hate to meet in a hurry", everyone can't help but hum a few words along. Of course, since nearly 30 years have passed since this play, there are many people who have not seen this version and don't even know that this version exists.

Indeed, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", as one of Mr. Jin Yong's classic masterpieces, has been in many versions so far. Let's not talk about the old ones, let's just say that mainland audiences are more familiar with them, including the 01 version of TVB starring Wu Qihua, Li Zi, Charmaine She, 03 version starring Su Youpeng, Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan, 09 version of Deng Chao, An Yixuan starring, and 19 version starring Zeng Shunxi and Chen Yuqi.

Among them, the most praised by everyone is TVB Wu Qihua and the 03 version of Su Youpeng, many times everyone discusses and chooses from these two parts, and ignores the 94 version of the Taiwan version of Zhuyu in front of it, and many classics were born.
Today, we will take advantage of the reinterpretation of Zhou Huajian's "Sword Like a Dream" to travel through time and space, turn our eyes back to 30 years ago, and take a look at the ins and outs of this "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
Ye Tong only came to make a cameo appearance at the beginning, Yin Susu did not plan to play Zhao Min
Many people may have the same childhood confusion as me: how can Xu Xian also play the brilliant Zhao Min like a rose? In fact, Ye Tong only came to make a cameo appearance as Yin Susu at the earliest, she was not the heroine of this film, and the heroine she was looking for at the beginning was Yuan Jieying of TVB.
In 1993, Yang Peipei prepared to shoot "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", inviting Yuan Jieying to play the role of Zhao Min, and Ye Tong to play Yin Susu. At that time, the draft of the connection between Hong Kong and Taiwan was sent out, but Yuan Jieying wanted to develop in the music industry and had no time to stay in Taiwan to film, so she refused.
Yuan Jieying's ancient costume
Speaking of which, Yuan Jieying also had some regrets, and passed by Zhao Min twice. A few years later, Wu Qihua's version of the film was also invited, but at that time, she had another physical condition and missed it again. This is a later story, it can be seen that Yuan Jieying is really suitable for Zhao Min's image positioning, if Yuan Jieying plays Zhao Min, maybe there will be another candidate for the rose in everyone's heart.
Continue to talk about it again, because the 94 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" was broadcast while filming, Yin Susu played by Ye Tong was deeply liked by Taiwanese audiences after it was launched, and enthusiastic viewers wrote letters and called TV stations, hoping that Ye Tong could play Zhao Min.

At that time, Yang Peipei did encounter a situation where there was no heroine available, and Zhang Cuishan was already played by Ma Jingtao, since the CP of his partner with Ye Tong was so popular with the audience, then he simply played his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together (Yin Susu and Zhao Min), and happened to play a pair with Ma Jingtao's Zhang Wuji, which can be regarded as a continuation of the front edge.
Mr. Jin Yong was interviewed
After the TV series was broadcast, Ye Tong's Zhao Min was very popular in the hearts of Taiwanese audiences, and he also gave a high score in the hearts of Mr. Jin Yong. Mr. Jin Yong once said in an interview: "I still think that Zhao Min played by Ye Tong in Hong Kong is very good, Miss Ye has a good grasp of the meticulousness of Zhao Min's role, she played the characters in my novel, thank her very much." ”

Therefore, many people are not interested in this version of Ye Tong, probably because her portrayal of Xu Xiantai is recognized by mainland audiences, and everyone can't accept Ye Tong who is a "boy head" to play the beautiful Zhao Min, in fact, Ye Tong also has a very charming role in Hong Kong films, and his acting skills are absolutely speechless.
The most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo Jin Yong wants to rewrite the ending for her
Zhou Haimei was the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo in the 94 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", not to mention Zhao Min played by Ye Tong in the hearts of many audiences, even the original author Mr. Jin Yong made it clear when he saw her: "I knew that it was you who would play Zhou Zhiruo, so I would have changed the ending." He also commented that Zhou Haimei is the most satisfied actor of Zhou Zhiruo in his heart. It can be seen that the success of her role is admired even by Mr. Jin Yong, who is accustomed to seeing beauties.
But before that, Zhou Haimei actually refused to play Zhou Zhiruo at first, she thought that Zhou Zhiruo's view of love was too stubborn. In the heart of the chic and free Zhou Haimei, love is bold love, don't be reluctant if you don't love. She has read this novel herself, and she does not approve of Zhou Haimei's behavior of "tearing up red clothes without her hands", and it is a bit difficult for her to challenge this role.
In addition, the agent believes that the blackened Zhou Zhiruo may affect the actor's image, and there is no next consideration of multiple factors.
Fortunately, director Lai Shuiqing insisted that Zhou Haimei was the Zhou Zhiruo in his heart, and even did not hesitate to fly to Hong Kong to visit, and with such sincerity, the most classic Zhou Zhiruo was achieved.
The beautiful Zhou Zhiruo is weak and lovely in the early stage, which makes people feel pity, and in the later stage, the emotional wounds are blackened and vicious, which simply makes Zhou Zhiruo in the book have the most real concretization. How many people are like me, who are cute by Zhiruo holding the little white rabbit, and how many people are frightened when they see her Nine Yin White Bone Claws.

Zhou Zhiruo blackened
She doesn't even need to deliberately change her makeup, but the audience can clearly know which stage of Zhou Zhiruo this is from the change in her expression.
It can be said that if Zhou Zhiruo is beautiful, Zhang Wuji in the audience's heart is a scumbag, many viewers were fascinated at the time, and scolded Zhang Wuji for being blind, such a good Zhiruo sister didn't want it, and chose Zhao Min, which also became a pity. Later, in "This Life and This Life", which was broadcast again in 96, Ma Jingtao and Zhou Haimei played a couple again, and finally made up for the regret of not being able to become a family member this time.
Zhou Zhiruo's red mole on the center of her eyebrows also adds a unique beauty to her, so that no matter how beautiful Gao Yuanyuan is in the back, she is also considered to imitate Zhou Haimei, who learns her form but does not have her god.
Achieved many classic songs Jackie Chan has sung the ending song
I am afraid that it is difficult to imagine that a TV series, whether it is the theme song, ending song or interlude, can be the first classic to be passed down to this day, and this is the charm of the 94 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".

And the songs of this TV series are also changed as they are broadcast, the opening song of the first 22 episodes is "Settle with the Encounter" sung by Huang Zhan, Zhou Huajian's "Sword Like a Dream" is the opening song of episodes 23 to 64, the ending song of episodes 1 to 22 is Li Lifen's "Love Jiangshan and Love Beauty More", and the episode sung by Xiao Zhaoqing to Zhang Wuji in episode 26 is Xin Xiaoqi's "The Two Forget Each Other".

The most unbelievable thing for the audience is that kung fu superstar Jackie Chan also sang the ending song for him. Yes, you read that right, it's really Jackie Chan with a big nose DUANG~ A little bit, at that time, Jackie Chan had been sharpened by Li Zongsheng and his singing skills had made great progress, and several solo albums released were very popular, and this song "You Give Me a Piece of Sky" was included in "Rolling Stone Hong Kong Golden Ten Years Jackie Chan Selection", which was also quite popular at that time.
The most unsatisfactory Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu
If there is any supporting role in this drama that can steal the limelight from the three leading actors, it must be Yang Xiao played by Sun Xing. When Zhou Haimei died, in addition to Ma Jingtao's condolences, Sun Xing also recorded a black-and-white video to express his reluctance to leave his deceased friend.
In fact, before Sun Xing starred in Yang Xiao, he was not a well-known figure, he was a "dead runner" existence, his cultural level was not high, he had never read the original novel, and he couldn't tell the difference between Jin Yong and Gu Long. When he received the invitation, he even sent out a soul torture question - is Yang Xiao a man or a woman?
Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu
At that time, the conditions of the crew were limited, and it was rumored that Sun Xing's headgear was left over by Liu Songren, so he made do with it. But under such a premise, Sun Xing vividly interpreted Yang Xiao's bohemianism.
Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu
In addition, Pan Yijun's Ji Xiaofu is really moving, and the relationship between the two was originally just a "Stockholm" style of "I fell in love with the man who kidnapped me" and "I don't regret giving birth to a child for him", but the two of them together are a fairy couple made in heaven.
and the 03 version of Zhang Tielin's Yang Xiao performed the feeling of robbing the people's daughters, this version of Yang Xiao is simply the same attribute as Yang Guo - if you see it, you will be mistaken for life, and they are also the most unsatisfactory pair in the whole play.
The supporting roles are all classics
In addition to the above-mentioned protagonists and main supporting roles, the supporting roles in other dramas are also very outstanding, and it should be said that both the casting and the actors' interpretation are very classic.
Xiao Zhou Zhiruo is played by Jin Ming, Xiao Zhang Wuji is played by Ye Jing, and they are also very popular children's CPs in Taiwanese dramas that year; Chen Xiaoxuan's Xiao Zhao is beautiful, well-behaved and cute, and her exotic appearance is even more praised; Zhao Min's father Mongolian prince is played by "Fahai", and he performs a majestic performance; Zhang Sanfeng is played by Mr. Chang Feng, and the fairy wind bones are in place, he is a living immortal; and the most annoying extermination master in history, who is snarky and makes people's scalps tingle when they see it.
Of course, the 94 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is not all praise. Taiwanese dramas generally carry out a certain degree of magic reform of martial arts dramas, and this drama has added a lot of emotional parts that Taiwanese dramas are good at, especially the part between Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu, which is portrayed in place, making some people who simply want to watch martial arts dramas complain that this drama is too "Qiong Yao".
In addition, Ma Jingtao is famous for playing Qiong Yao drama, he plays Zhang Wuji, many people can't separate him from the children in Qiong Yao's drama, in fact, he didn't roar much in this drama, even some emotional scenes are reasonably handled according to the plot, and his Zhang Wuji Yushu is in the wind, and only in this way can people be convinced that it is understandable that so many beauties in the play like such handsome guys.
And compared with the adaptations of other Jin Yong dramas, Yang Peipei's changes in this drama at the same time most of the other bridges are to retain the original plots, and it can be regarded as not overly changing the plot plots. So Jin Yong also praised Yang Peipei for the best adaptation this time.
Whether it is the recognition of the original author, casting, plot, and soundtrack, this drama can be called a masterpiece that belongs to the times.
