"Sword and Fairy 4" and "Sword and Fairy 6" fight on the same stage, which makes people miss "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"

"Fairy Sword 4" and "Fairy Sword 6" (pray for the present dynasty) are fighting on the same stage, which is a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, which lowers the aesthetics of the Fairy Sword IP.

The plot is thin, the special effects are shoddy, the costumes and props are perfunctory, and the actors' performances are not up to par, but I didn't expect that in 2024, this kind of Xianxia drama can still be taken out to fool the audience.

The bad reviews of "Sword and Fairy IV" and "Sword and Fairy VI" will definitely trigger a large number of people's memories and kill, reminiscent of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in 2005.

A drama 19 years ago, which has endured for a long time, has a score of 9.1, and it is still the ceiling of Xianxia dramas.

The smart, cute and fairy version of Zhao Ling'er by Liu Yifei, Hu Ge who brought Li Xiaoyao into reality in the game, An Yixuan's version of Lin Yueru, who is heroic and affectionate, and the songs are all classic representatives.

19 years have passed, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is still the white moonlight in the hearts of many people, and many viewers even think that "no Hu Ge is no fairy sword", which shows the recognition of Fairy Sword and Hu Ge in the hearts of the audience.

However, in fact, when preparing for the filming of the TV series, Hu Ge was not the first choice, and almost missed this opportunity to become popular.

01, because of the sentence "little aunt", Hu Ge became Li Xiaoyao

When preparing for the filming of this TV series, the actor favored by the producer Tang Film and Television was not Hu Ge.

At that time, Hu Ge was still a student, and he had only participated in the TV series "Dandelion", and his performance was not eye-catching, so it can be said that he had little experience and was not famous.

At that time, almost all of their favorite actor candidates had their own traffic, such as the well-known host He Jiong, Taiwan star Lin Zhiying, Zhou Yumin, who became popular for "Meteor Garden", and Asian dance king Luo Zhixiang.

But I didn't expect such an opportunity to fall to the unfamous Hu Ge, thanks to the words of "little aunt" Deng Jiajia.

Hu Ge, who was in his third year of college, went to the crew to try out the play, and the role he tried was the Jiang orphan who played opposite Jiang Xin.

After Hu Ge finished dressing up that day, Deng Jiajia, who played the poisonous lady with the crew, said directly, "You are playing Li Xiaoyao." ”

It was this sentence that attracted the attention of Yao Zhuangxian, the main creator of the game on the set, so he asked Hu Ge to try out Li Xiaoyao.

When the costume was finished, everyone in the crew was attracted by Hu Ge's appearance, and sighed one after another, this is Li Xiaoyao who came out of the game! So, this role fell on Hu Ge's head.

However, during filming, due to his lack of experience, Hu Ge often NG, causing the director to always chase and scold him on the set.

At that time, Hu Ge was apprehensive and worried that he would be replaced because of this, but fortunately, Hu Ge was tenacious and willing to learn, he made Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao also made him.

02, Liu Yifei once refused to act

Like Hu Ge, Liu Yifei is not Zhao Linger's first choice.

At the beginning, the actors that the crew favored were Liu Jing and He Meitian, but maybe Liu Yifei's performance in "The Family of Gold Powder" and "Dragon Babu" attracted the producer, so the producer tried his best to invite Liu Yifei to star, but he was almost rejected miserably.

Liu Yifei was only 17 years old at the time, but she had already become popular with dramas such as "The Family of Gold Powder" and "Dragon Babu".

When receiving the invitation from the producer, because she had never been in contact with a TV series adapted from a game, Liu Yifei was also very cautious, and even refused the producer's invitation for a while.

But fortunately, the producer is persistent enough, and at his invitation, Liu Yifei agreed to act, which allowed the audience to see the cute, smart, energetic and fairy Zhao Ling'er.

03, Yuan Hong used to be Liu Jinyuan, and quit the crew for Hu Ge

At that time, during the casting, there was an interesting and brotherly incident between Hu Ge and Yuan Hong, two good buddies.

At the beginning, there was a role in the play, which was Lin Yueru's cousin Liu Jinyuan, and this role was originally set to be played by Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong and Hu Ge are not only classmates in the play, but also good buddies in the same dormitory.

It is rumored that because the school only allowed one of them to go out to act, Yuan Hong took the initiative to give up the role of Liu Jinyuan and left the opportunity to his good brother Hu Ge.

However, Yuan Hong later made up for this regret, he participated in "Fairy Sword III", playing the role of Leizhou Thorn Shi Yunting in it.

04, An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan reversed their roles

It seems that the selection of each actor in the crew has to go through a little turmoil, and the casting of Anu and Lin Yueru has also experienced certain twists and turns.

At the beginning, Lin Yueru played the role, and the producer's original actor was Shu Chang, but because Shu Chang had already taken over the filming of the TV series "Baolian Lantern", the schedule could not be adjusted, so he gave up.

So this role fell to Liu Pinyan, and An Yixuan at that time played the eccentric Anu.

But after three days of filming, the more director Li Guoli watched it, the more wrong it became, and he felt that Liu Pinyan was not like Lin Yueru, but more like the eccentric Anu.

And An Yixuan seems to be more suitable for the willful and arrogant Lin Yueru. So the roles of the two were reversed, and after filming, Li Guoli felt that he was on the right path.

That's how we can see two characters who are so classic.

It can be said that director Li Guoli has thoroughly studied the script and each role, and has selected the most suitable actor for each role.

05, the TV series was broadcast in a storm: it almost couldn't be broadcast, and he was also abused by game fans

After a difficult and bumpy casting process, the TV series was finally filmed.

But just as it entered the post-production stage, a notice prohibiting the broadcast of computer online game programs was issued, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" happened to be a TV series adapted from a game.

Although it was finally reviewed later, it only obtained the right to broadcast on terrestrial channels, but this did not affect the popularity of this drama.

In 2008, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" finally got the right to be on the star, and after it was broadcast on satellite channels, the ratings remained high.

Before the TV series was broadcast, the crew released makeup photos of several characters.

But this has aroused dissatisfaction among game fans, who think that Hu Ge and Liu Yifei are not suitable for playing Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger in the game.

However, Tang Film and Television strongly supported them, until after the TV series was broadcast, game fans were conquered one after another, Hu Ge's "No Hu Ge No Fairy Sword" and Liu Yifei's "Nuwa's Descendant Zhao Ling'er" are enough to prove their success in character building.

The broadcast of "Sword and Fairy IV" and "Sword and Fairy VI" will undoubtedly make many viewers review "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

No matter how long it has passed, no matter how many sequels have been made, it cannot change or even shake the position of "Xianjian Yi" in the minds of the audience.

Zhao Ling'er, whose face is full of collagen and a little baby fat, is the eternal goddess and white moonlight in the fairy sword powder.

Li Xiaoyao, who was once a bastard boy and grew into a hero, as well as Lin Yueru, Anu, Tang Yu Xiaobao, Liu Jinyuan, and Jiujian Xian...... The characters all have distinct personalities and are full, and they are masterpieces that are worth revisiting. (Written by West Window Snow)
