After watching the remake of "New Bright Sword", I just want to say: contemptible... I'm not good at watching the new version of the bright sword!
Since the broadcast of "Bright Sword", praise has continued one after another, it records the process of the Anti-Japanese War and the victory of liberation, and since it was broadcast in 2005, the rating has reached a high of 9.4.
It is different from previous war films, the audience is only among the middle-aged and elderly groups, and many young people like the plot and the role of Li Yunlong very much.
"Bright Sword" has naturally become a "generation classic". The ratings exploded and others imitated, so the "New Bright Sword" was born 6 years later.
Li Yunlong in this version of the bright sword did not bring everyone the feeling of "excitement and humor" in the old version when he fired the "Italian cannon".
Huang Zhizhong's Li Yunlong seems to be more "clean" than Li Youbin, although their acting skills are all good at the top, but they always feel that something is almost interesting.
If the protagonist is "too clean" because the crew has sufficient funds, then the new version of Chang Naichao can be said to have nothing to do with the original work!
First, the difference between the old and new bright swords
The story of "Bright Sword" almost revolves around Li Yunlong's growth. After it was broadcast that year, it was very popular with the audience, and the ratings once rushed to the champion at that time.
Li Yunlong's rough man image has left a deep imprint in everyone's hearts. I thought that the craze had passed, but who knew that the arrival of the Internet era would bring him to the fire again.
Whether it is the hot stalk of "Italian Cannon", or the smirking emoji in the corner, or even the clip of Monk Wei begging for meat, it has been split up by everyone and has gone viral on the Internet.
Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, Wang Yousheng and Monk Wei, each of them has a very unique image, and the words they have said and the actions they have done have become distinct representatives of the characters.
In addition to these well-known figures, there is also a domineering figure "Chang Naichao", who is the commander of the 7th Division of the National Army.
Although there are not many scenes in the play, his arrogance and character still attract many audiences.
Those who have read the original book should know that the strength of this Master Chang is on par with Li Yunlong, but in the film and television dramas we have seen, the strength of this Master Chang has been greatly reduced.
Maybe many people don't notice this character, but his strength should not be underestimated.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, our army and the Kuomintang fought a "civil war" for a period of time, and under the circumstances at that time, most of the national army would arrange to fight at home, not to study abroad.
On the contrary, Chang Naide, who was an officer, was sent to Germany to study, and it can be guessed from this that his strength is not ordinary.
2. Chang Naide smokes and becomes a "coward"
If you want to talk about Chang Naichao's "famous scenes" left in the play, it should be when Li Yunlong caught him on the spot and pretended to be a subordinate.
There are two famous scenes in which Li Yunlong captures the national army, the first is the battle with Chu Yunfei.
However, when Li Yunlong led his brothers straight to Chu Yunfei's camp, he actually pounced. It turned out that Chu Yunfei knew that he was inferior and ran away with the big guy.
But when it came to the battle Chang Nai overtime, there was no national army team and it was not so lucky.
Many people will think that Chang Naichao at this time does not have the blood and strength that a man should have, and when Li Yunlong led the team to encircle and suppress, he actually changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier in an attempt to confuse the past.
Of course, this little trick will not succeed, and under Li Yunlong's sharp eyes, he was found out in three or two clicks.
Although the plot here seems to be Chang Naichao very wretched, this is also his "highlight moment" in the play.
After being discovered, he didn't complain, he immediately recognized the identity of his national army, and then stared at Li Yunlong with a provocative look.
Disguised as being caught, there will be some panic in changing anyone. So, Chang Naichao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one for himself.
Presumably men who love to smoke should be well aware of the gold content of this cigarette lit at this time. I saw Chang Naide's expression after taking a sharp inhale, closing his eyes and savoring it.
I don't know what Chang Naide was thinking in his heart? After all, he was a division commander who had returned from Liu Guoyang, and at this time, the Kuomintang's military strength and equipment were much stronger than those of our army.
But despite this, it still failed to resist Li Yunlong's attack, so this cigarette here means "admiration and unwillingness".
On the other hand, Chang Naide, who is remade in the new version, not to mention whether there is a division commander's temperament in the image, his every action is copied one by one according to the old version.
Although it is exactly the same action, the performances of the two people have a very different feeling, he is reckless and unwilling in the old version, but look at Chang Naide in the new version.
Bow your head, light a cigarette, smoke, after a series of actions, give everyone a middle-aged man who is addicted to smoking and wants to take time to smoke a cigarette.
But it is clear that Chang Naide's character is not like this, and the actor's image is a little honest, and he is also cringe when he lights a cigarette, like a soft persimmon.
Third, the new bright sword can't compare to the old bright sword after all
In the new version of "Bright Sword", he is not the only character who can't compare with the old version, it is no exaggeration to say that under the condition that the conditions and equipment were not advanced at that time, the characters filmed were all much better than those with complete makeup equipment in the new remake.
In addition to Chang Naide's smoking, there are other actors whose performances are also unsatisfactory.
is not normal, Chu Yunfei's status in the play is second only to Li Yunlong, but the person who plays him in the new version has a much cleaner face, and it can also be said that he is much quieter.
Chu Yunfei in the old version is heroic and reveals the feeling of a heroic iron man, but in the new version, he is more like a white-faced scholar.
And in the scene of leaving the mainland, the performance techniques of the two of them have a different feeling.
In the old version, we see him holding loess in his hand, and after a long period of contemplation, he puts the soil in his hand into a piece of cloth and takes it away.
Before leaving, he kept looking out the window, and it was not difficult to see his reluctance to this land.
In the new version, he is indeed holding loess in his hands, but the difference is that the upper one is two-handed, while he is single-handed.
Just from the details of the loess here, we can see which of the two of them is really reluctant to give up on this land.
There is also the character of Monk Wei, in the old version, its character is not only reckless, but also has a simple stupidity.
But this is not the case with the monk in the new version, he looks more like a rough old man with momentum. Although it conforms to the character setting, it still looks more humorous and down-to-earth in the old version.
The author thinks
There has been a saying since ancient times: classics cannot be remade, and once they are remade, they must "capsize".
Many classic dramas that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people have received repeated complaints after being remade.
In fact, this can't be said to be a bad remake, it can only be said that the old version has carved the deepest mark in everyone's hearts, maybe this is where the classics are!
