Speaking of the theme of Xianxia, I can't avoid "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in 2005.
This TV series based on the game has become popular all over the country and captured the hearts of a large number of audiences.
Because it is too classic, the actors in the play cannot reproduce it, so for so many years, the remake has not dared to touch this TV series.
However, in 2021, news of the remake of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" came out on the Internet.
I thought it was groundless, but I didn't expect it to be determined in the end.
As soon as this news came out, it exploded directly on the Internet!
Not to mention the question of whether the "original team" can be gathered, even if you invite it back, it is estimated that you will not be able to shoot that flavor.
So on the Internet, the remake is still carried out from two aspects - "what is the meaning of the remake" and "ruining the classics".
And the audience's comments are surprisingly consistent:
"I really can't think of anyone who can play Zhao Ling'er well except Sister Yifei", "Li Xiaoyao in my heart, maybe only Hu Ge can play", "The old version of the actor is too well chosen. ”.......
Although there are a lot of doubts, the new "Fairy Sword" is still on the air as scheduled.
premiered 4 episodes, and after watching it, it can't be said to surpass the previous work, but it does have something remarkable.
The new "Fairy Sword" has a new name called "See You Again".
As a game fan, you can feel the sincerity of the crew from the title of the play.
The story is newly written, and we meet again, and the implication is good.
The biggest feature of this version is that it integrates the game with the plot of the 05 version.
To put it simply, on the basis of the original game, the content of the TV series version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been added, and many scenes have been restored.
At the beginning of the story, an animation was used to introduce the protagonist Li Xiaoyao.
For thousands of years, no one in the world could compete with the water monster, until a young man was born, he was the mighty Jianghu - Li Xiaoyao.
Then, there are the classic graphics in the game.
Li Xiaoyao was woken up by his aunt with a pot, and his daydream was interrupted.
The new version of Li Xiaoyao is played by He You, or Yang Kang in the new version of "Shooting the Condor".
Seeing this, many people want to compare it with Hu Ge, but it can only be said that it is too early.
However, Aunt Li is still played by Yang Kun, and she is the same person as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
The same scene can't help but stir up childhood memories.
On a new day, three eccentric Lunatic worshippers arrived at the inn.
They actually stayed here for another purpose.
At this time, Aunt Li instructed Li Xiaoyao to deliver food, and by the way, she drove away the "asking for food" at the door.
So a key character in "Fairy Sword", Jiujian Xian, finally appeared.
To be honest, the new version of Jiujian Immortal is played by Wu Yue.
Compared with the old version of Xie Junhao, it can only be said that each has its own merits, and no one loses anyone.
Moreover, many viewers who have played the game said that Wu Yue's version of Jiujian Fairy has the same flavor as in the game.
Li Xiaoyao exchanged a bottle of wine for a chance to learn swordsmanship.
Jiujian Immortal agreed that the two would meet at the Shilipo Mountain Temple on the third watch tonight.
Later, Aunt Li was stunned and unconscious by the Lunatic Cultists.
In order to save Aunt Li, Li Xiaoyao went to Xianling Island and met the heroine Zhao Linger here.
The new version of Zhao Linger is played by Yang Yutong, that is, the victim Xu Yingzi in "Sweeping the Black Storm".
After Zhao Linger saw Li Xiaoyao, she asked him if he had been wandering the rivers and lakes for more than ten years.
Li Xiaoyao was puzzled by this, but Zhao Linger and her grandmother said that they knew Li Xiaoyao ten years ago.
In order to fulfill the agreement ten years ago, grandma asked Li Xiaoyao to marry Zhao Ling'er.
Seeing the story here, Seventh Brother, as a fan of the game, basically feels like the plot in the game.
In the first 4 episodes, there will be scenes that are exactly the same as the game, evoking memories for the audience.
And the biggest villain in the play, the Moon Worship Master, did not expect to be played by Wang Jinsong.
I don't know, under Wang Jinsong's interpretation, this new version of the Moon Worship Sect Master will be a complicated role.
After watching the current 4 episodes, I personally feel that the old version of "Fairy Sword" cannot be surpassed.
Originally, I didn't expect the new version, but after taking a look, the restoration of the game's plot is worth affirming, and it is also very serious.
At least for gaming fans, that's a big plus.
In general, as long as the follow-up plot of "See You Again" is stable, it should be a good drama.
Because for many audiences, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible for there to be a remake that surpasses it.
Instead of adapting it randomly, it is better to go through the game plot again as it is, and there really doesn't need to be any play.
In this way, the audience will be able to see the original plot, maybe that's enough!
