In the popular "Lotus Battle" in the mainland, the supporting actress shined, and she was undefeated in the East without losing Lin Qingxia
In 1993, a Singaporean costume martial arts drama was born, and it became popular in Asia when it was broadcast.
The mainland also introduced this drama to the mainland in 1994, triggering a wave of ratings.
The anti-skewer character Bai Yuchuan in the play left a deep impression, and the audience commented that she was "comparable to Lin Qingxia's version of the undefeated existence of the East", and this drama was also called "the Oriental version of "Game of Thrones" by the audience.
This drama is a martial arts masterpiece co-produced by the Singapore Radio and Television Authority and Shanxi TV - "Lotus Battle", starring Singapore's first-line actors Li Nanxing, Zhu Leling, Talen Toya and others.
This drama can also be called a "mixed martial arts drama", which is adapted from Gu Long's "Meteor Butterfly Sword", and borrows from Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
Although it is a mixture of various elements, with the profound skills of 4 excellent screenwriters, the plot is not bloody at all, but has some ups and downs.
tells the story of a little bloody grievances, and it is also mixed with elements such as sadomasochism, same-sex love, etc.
Who would have thought that such a "hodgepodge" drama could cause such a big response after it was broadcast, and the score has been as high as 8.1 points so far.
01, a plot that is both ups and downs and abuse
Shen Chong (played by Li Nanxing), a professional killer of Meteor Gate, was tired of the life of fighting and killing after meeting Nangong Die (played by Zhu Leling) by chance, and was determined to become famous, so he took refuge in the Nangong family.
However, at this time, the Flying Eagle Fort in the north made him fall into the grudge of the rivers and lakes again.
Bai Yuchuan (played by Tallin Toya), the adopted son of the Nangong family, also betrayed the lord Nangong Jun (played by Zhu Houren) and colluded with the Golden Eagle of Flying Eagle Castle in a vain attempt to become the overlord of martial arts.
And he also has a contradictory side, because he is deeply in love with Nangong Jun's daughter Nangong Die, but he has no choice but "Lang has no intention of having a concubine".
Nangong Die didn't like him at all, and in annoyance, Bai Yuchuan defiled Nangong Die, and this move directly warmed up the relationship between Shen Chong and Nangong Die.
Later, the dispute between the two major sects became more and more intense, and Bai Yuchuan inadvertently obtained the Sunflower Treasure Book, and after practice, he became the enchanting and stunning Yin Susu, killing all sides.
At the end of the TV series, it was cruel and sweet: Bai Yuchuan and Nangong Jun died together, and Shen Chong and Nangong Die were finally able to stay and fly together.
The most impressive thing in the series is the anti-string character Bai Yuchuan, who was a son-in-law in the early stage, and he was heroic and suave.
Yin Susu in the later stage is also charming and colorful, and it is precisely because of this that many viewers say that she can be compared with Lin Qingxia's version of Oriental Undefeated.
02, the current situation of actors
It has been 31 years since the premiere of this show, and the development status of the actors in the play is also different.
First place: Shen Chong - Li Nanxing
Li Nanxing plays the male protagonist Shen Chong in the play, he is chic and handsome, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has strong kung fu.
His prototype is Meng Xing's soul in "Meteor Butterfly Sword".
In reality, Li Nanxing is the "first brother in Singapore", known as the Singapore version of Chow Yun-fat, and his appearance and acting skills are both online.
Li Nanxing became popular in the mainland with the role of Shen Chong, and won the Most Popular Male Artist Award at the Red Star Awards.
After that, Li Nanxing won the Red Star Award for Best Actor three times with "Tale of the Wounded City", "Leopard Guts" and "Twenty Days of Lost Clouds".
Li Nanxing, who gained fame and fortune, also invested in business, but was deceived by his partner to bankruptcy, and later wanted to turn over through gambling, but he didn't want to fall deeper and deeper.
With high debts and a broken wife, Li Nanxing thought about suicide at the most painful time, but fortunately, he cheered up later, began to take over the drama crazily, and finally got out of the predicament.
Today's Li Nanxing is 60 years old, he is still single, he still looks very good, and he often shares his life on social platforms.
second place, Bai Yuchuan - Tarintoya
Although Bai Yuchuan is not the protagonist in the play, his light even surpasses everyone.
The actor who plays Bai Yuchuan is named Talen Toya, who was born in Inner Mongolia and later immigrated to Singapore.
Bai Yuchuan played by her is full of heroism, and Yin Susu in the later period also has the charm of a woman, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she surpassed Lin Qingxia's undefeated Oriental in this state.
Even if many years have passed, the audience may forget the title of the play, forget the plot, and even forget the starring role, and they will also remember the suave son Bai Yuchuan.
Talen Toya also fascinated thousands of viewers with this role.
Since then, the company has tailored many villain roles for her, such as Xuan Yue in "Kunlun Nu", Zhao Rong in "Ten Thousand Strands of Love", and the queen in "Heavenly Master Zhong Kui's Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains", etc., but none of them can reproduce the glory of Bai Yuchuan.
Most of the later roles were marginalized supporting roles, and Talen Toya appeared less and less on the screen.
Later, Taryn Toya chose to marry in Xiying, and after marriage, she was very low-key, concentrating on her husband and daughter, and rarely appeared in the media.
third place, Nangong Butterfly - Zhu Leling
Nangong Die is the proper heroine of this drama, she is kind by nature and does not like disputes, and after witnessing the grievances of the rivers and lakes, she and Shen Chong live and fly together.
The actor Zhu Leling, who plays Nangong Die, is a contracted actor of the Singapore Broadcasting Authority, and officially entered the film and television industry at the age of 19.
Before "Lotus Battle", she also participated in several film and television dramas, and played the heroine twice, and was loved by the audience for her sweet appearance, and won the title of the top ten most popular female artists in 1991.
After "Lotus Battle", Zhu Leling successively participated in several works such as "Silver Sea Storm", and in 1996, at the age of 27, she chose to retire from the circle and return to her family.
Fourth, Nangong Jun - Zhu Houren
Nangong Die's father, Nangong Jun, is the master of the Nangong family, he is suspicious by nature and tough, even his own son will be suspicious.
The actor who plays Nangong Jun is Singapore's first-line actor Zhu Houren, and before "Lotus Battle", he also participated in "A Generation of Tianjiao" and played Shangguan Bo.
After filming "Lotus Battle", Zhu Houren was well-known to mainland audiences, but he still mainly participated in local dramas, such as Guo Jing in the Singapore version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Long Tingguang in "Double Heavens Supreme", etc.
In 2010, Zhu Houren won the Red Star Award for Best Supporting Actor with "Reunion Dinner".
Now Zhu Houren is nearly 70 years old, and he is still active on the TV screen, although he lives up to the domineering in "Lotus Battle", his acting skills are still online.
Fifth place, Qiu Ruolan/Feng Erniang - Liu Qiulian
In the play, actor Liu Qiulian plays two roles, one is peerless, and the other is full of style, which leaves a deep impression.
In reality, Liu Qiulian also debuted relatively early, entering Xinguang in her early 20s, but her development was not smooth.
Since then, she has been looking for a suitable image for herself, among which Du Yuqing in "Modern Pretty Family" and Li Yuxian in "Drama Troupe" have left a deep impression.
After that, "Lotus Battle" can be said to have opened up a certain degree of popularity, but her later works rarely made a splash.
In 1994, Liu Qiulian chose to retire from the circle and do business, until she chose to make a comeback in 2002, although she also filmed a few works, but she did not have much influence, and now Liu Qiulian rarely appears on the TV screen.
Sixth, Lan Lan - Ding Lan
In the play, she first married Nangong Jun, and then liked his son Nangong Jian, which caused a conflict between father and son.
Ding Lan is more familiar to everyone, she was the kind shepherdesss girl in "Shaolin Temple".
was originally a heroine in the mainland, but later immigrated to Singapore, and can only play some supporting roles, which is really embarrassing.
In the late 90s, Ding Lan retired from the shadows, turned to the business world, and returned to the mainland to do business.
After 31 years of ups and downs, the plot and even the name of "Lotus Battle" are almost blurred, and the development of the actors is very different.
But as long as the theme song "Jianghu Road" sung by Luo Wen sounds, as long as Bai Yuchuan appears, he can instantly bring his memories back to the wonderful martial arts world of the year, and he will still be amazed and overwhelmed by Bai Yuchuan.
If the drama is out of stock, why not watch "Lotus Battle" again? I believe you will have a deeper understanding of the rivers and lakes. (Written by West Window Snow)
