The drama "Snow Leopard" was launched, which quickly attracted widespread attention, and even overshadowed the high-profile "Bright Sword" for a time. The wonderful performance of the starring article and the attraction of the plot are immersive.
Four years later, a remake of "New Snow Leopard" was criticized, and the Douban score once fell to 6.6. The quality of special effects has become the focus of criticism from the audience, especially the scene of Zhou Weiguo played by Zhang Ruoyun taking a plane, and the poor special effects have caused many dissatisfactions.
In contrast, the image of Zhou Weiguo in the original novel is an iron-blooded tough guy, and the performance of the article perfectly presents this image, while Zhang Ruoyun's performance is biased towards the style of idol drama Xiao Xianrou, lacking the wildness and fortitude required by the original work.
Interestingly, the article initially refused to play the role of Zhou Weiguo, but under the persuasion of his ex-wife Ma Yili, he finally chose to participate and became one of the masterpieces of the play. He even worked as a screenwriter on the crew, adding a lot of detail and emotion to the characters, showing excellent screenwriting skills.
There was also a heated discussion about the contrast between "Snow Leopard" and "New Snow Leopard". Some people believe that the original "Snow Leopard" is more faithful to the original book, the actors' performances are more realistic, and the special effects are less, which is more in line with the requirements of the Anti-Japanese War theme. While others believe that the remake of "New Snow Leopard" is more visually refined, with more flashy special effects scenes, and attracts more young audiences, although it is slightly lacking in acting and plot.
Against this backdrop, audiences are beginning to wonder whether it is more important to be faithful to the original and history, or to cater to the tastes of modern audiences.
Therefore, for the remake and remake of the TV series, perhaps we can make a suggestion: while pursuing novelty and uniqueness, we should not forget the essence of the original work and the authenticity of history. Only in the balance of the two can we create works with more depth and connotation, and truly win the recognition and respect of the audience.
Whether it is "Snow Leopard" or "New Snow Leopard", they are all part of the TV drama industry, and they all have their own unique charm and value. Let us appreciate and evaluate each work with an open and inclusive mind, and witness the development and progress of TV dramas together.
