As one of Jin Yong's trilogy, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" has appeared in many film and television drama versions over the years. However, the only ones with the highest popularity and the best reputation are the TVB version starring Li Zi and Wu Qihua in 2001, and the mainland version of Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen in 2003.
The TVB version scored 70,000 people on Douban and won a high score of 8.6, and the 03 version scored 170,000 people on Douban and won a high score of 8.5.
compared the actresses in the two versions of Yitian, and found that the actresses in the TVB version were slightly worse in appearance, but they won in superb acting skills and interpreted the gods of the characters; The 03 version of the actress is obviously more beautiful, but her acting skills are much worse than the TVB version. And Li Zi, both in terms of acting skills and appearance, is glamorous.
1: Woman in yellow shirt, Chen Qi VS Hu Xiaoran
The woman in the yellow shirt is the most mysterious character in Yitian, she is the descendant of Yang Guo Xiaolongnu, and she is described as beautiful like a fairy in the original book, and Zhou Zhiruo is second in one move.
The 01 version of the woman in the yellow shirt is played by actress Chen Qi, Chen Qi's appearance is very ordinary in TVB, and she has always played various supporting roles as maids, and the role in "Golden Branches" is remembered. With her beauty, she can't hold up playing a woman in a yellow shirt, and this casting is quite a failure.
The 03 version of the woman in the yellow shirt is played by actress Hu Xiaoran, Hu Xiaoran is a Huangmei opera actor, her figure is very good, and she looks like Cai Shaofen, she amazed many people as soon as she appeared on the stage, but it is a pity that this actress retired from the circle after acting in a play.
2: Yin Susu, Mi Xue VS Guo Feili
The 01 version of Yin Susu is played by TVB Huadan Mi Xue, although Mi Xue's acting skills are good, but she was 46 years old when she played Yin Susu, and her appearance was no longer at her peak, and it was quite inconsistent to play a girl, especially with Liu Songren's Zhang Cuishan Station, it was simply a middle-aged and elderly version.
The 03 version of Yin Susu is played by Guo Feili, one of the four beauties in Singapore, Guo Feili was at the peak of her appearance back then, regardless of her acting skills or appearance, I personally think she is a combination of Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen, both Jia Jingwen's agility and Gao Yuanyuan's dignified, it is really the best version of Yin Susu.
3: Dai Qisi, Jiang Xinyan VS Yan Qingyu
Dai Qisi is known as the Dragon King of the purple shirt and is the first beauty in martial arts in the play, but it is a pity that none of the actresses selected in the film and television drama are big beauties, and Li Wanhua's Dai Qisi is more amazing.
The 01 version of Dai Qisi is played by actress Jiang Xinyan, she and Jiang Xiwen, who plays Xiao Zhao, are sisters in life, but it is obvious that she is much more beautiful than her sister. Jiang Xinyan also has a feeling of mixed race, and her appearance when she was young is very in line with the setting of the purple-shirted dragon king, and I personally think that she is second only to Li Zi in the play.
The 03 version of Dai Qisi is played by actress Yan Qingyu, I have to say that this version of the purple shirt Dragon King looks too old-fashioned, and it doesn't give people a shocking feeling at all, this is the only beauty lost to the 01 version of the 03 version.
4: Xiao Zhao, Jiang Xiwen VS Chen Xiuli
In Yitian Simei, Jin Yong once said that Xiao Zhao is his favorite character, and Xiao Zhao in the original book is a mixed-race child, smart, strong and understanding, and he also looks beautiful and beautiful, which can be said to be the most suitable character for being a wife.
The 03 version of Xiao Zhao is played by Malaysian actress Chen Xiuli, Chen Xiuli's Xiao Zhao can only be said to be decent, only bringing out Xiao Zhao's sweetness, but she does not show Xiao Zhao's intelligence and wit at all, she is completely a tool man, and Chen Xiuli has no sense of mixed race.
The 01 version of Xiao Zhao is played by TVB actress Jiang Xiwen, Jiang Xiwen is a very beautiful beauty with a sense of mixed race in life, and it can be said that it is quite suitable to play Xiao Zhao. But in this drama, her costume is a little inappropriate, and sometimes she seems to be old-fashioned, but Jiang Xiwen's acting skills are good, showing Xiao Zhao's cunning, intelligence and kindness.
I have to say that the two versions of Xiao Zhao are actually not particularly good, the best Xiao Zhao for so many years should still be Qiu Shuzhen's Xiao Zhao is the most amazing, and his appearance and acting skills are top-notch.
5: Ji Xiaofu Yang has no regrets, Teng Liming VS Tao Hong Bao Yilin
The 01 version of Ji Xiaofu and Yang Buregret are played by actress Teng Liming. Teng Liming is not a big beauty in TVB, but she has good acting skills, and I personally prefer her Ji Xiaofu to Yang Buregret.
The 03 version of Ji Xiaofu is played by Tao Hong, although Tao Hong is beautiful and has good acting skills, but Ji Xiaofu played by her is really non-existent, she always has a bitter look and can't see Ji Xiaofu's stubbornness and perseverance at all, and the kiss scene between her and Zhang Tielin is even more thunderous.
And Yang Buregret, played by Bao Yilin, is very close to the original work, Bao Yilin's appearance and acting skills are very good, and Yang Buregret's innocence and kindness, and her dedication to love are all in place, it's a pity that she didn't become popular.
6: Zhu Jiuzhen, Yao Leyi VS Zhan Xiaonan
Zhu Jiuzhen, one of the two sisters of Xueling, can be regarded as the first female villain in Yitian in the real sense, and she deceived Zhang Wuji in the early days, which also confirmed the saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she can lie.
The 01 version of Zhu Jiuzhen is played by Yao Leyi, Yao Leyi is the pearl of TVB, tall and delicate facial features, it is really suitable for her to play the femme fatale. It's a pity that TVB female executives don't like this kind of glamorous actress, so Yao Leyi can only play vicious supporting roles all the time, and I personally think she is much more beautiful than her best friend Charmaine Sheh.
The 03 version of Zhu Jiu is really played by Zhan Xiaonan, Zhan Xiaonan is not inferior to Yao Leyi in terms of beauty, but her temperament is too positive, she doesn't have that kind of glamorous taste, and she still feels a little worse playing a femme fatale.
7: Ding Minjun, Lin Jing VS Kang Kua
Ding Minjun is not actually a big beauty in the original book, and she is scathing and loves to play conspiracy. Although the character design is not pleasing, the appearance of the actors in each version of Ding Minjun is quite high.
The 01 version of Ding Minjun is played by the TVB beauty Kang Hua, Kang Hua is really outstanding among the ordinary girls in TVB, with exquisite facial features, tall figure, and very good acting skills. But in her early years, due to the news of Fengyue, she has been refrigerated by female high-level executives, and she plays the role of Ding Minjun is simply handy.
The 03 version of Ding Minjun is played by mainland beauty Lin Jing, Lin Jing is a rare single-eyelid beauty, her facial features and acting temperament are very outstanding, and her Ding Minjun is one of her representative roles.
These two versions of Ding Minjun really can't pick out who is better, it can be regarded as a real equal, and a single person still prefers Kanghua, and likes to watch her and Charmaine Sheh play.
8: Spider, Chen Shaoxia VS Chen Zihan
Spider is not likable in the four beauties of Yitian, the character in the original book is perverse and sensitive, and the face is sealed because of the study of thousands of poisonous hands, so it is the least popular among the four beauties of Yitian.
The 03 version of Spider is played by Chen Zihan, Chen Zihan was the school flower of Beijing Film Academy back then, with bright looks and excellent acting skills, she became an instant hit with this role.
The TVB version plays the role of Spider is Chen Shaoxia, Chen Shaoxia is a professional supporting role in TVB, playing Yue Lingshan in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Shuang'er in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and Li Xiaohuan in "Miao Cuihua". The role of Spider is the ruling area for Chen Shaoxia.
Although Chen Shaoxia's appearance is not as good as Chen Zihan, I personally think that the spider she plays is more affinity and audience popularity than Chen Zihan, and her interaction with Zhang Wuji in the play is more interesting.
9: Zhou Zhiruo, Charmaine Sheh VS Gao Yuanyuan
The role of Zhou Zhiruo is actually not likable in the original book, but because of Zhou Haimei's wonderful performance in the 94 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", the subsequent versions have added scenes to Zhou Zhiruo, making this role more and more likable, but it also tests the actress's acting skills more.
The TVB version of Zhou Zhiruo is played by Charmaine Sheh, who was a fledgling at the beginning of the year. At that time, TVB was very fond of Charmaine Sheh, and asked her to choose one of Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo to play at random. But Charmaine Sheh was worried that the kiss scene in the play would be embarrassing because Zhang Wuji and Wu Qihua were old friends of her mother, so she chose Zhou Zhiruo.
Although Charmaine Sheh only acted in three years when she played Zhou Zhiruo, she showed amazing talent in this play, interpreting Zhou Zhiruo's simplicity and black-bellied very well. The most impressive scene is Charmaine Sheh's acting skills in a red dress at the wedding, and she doesn't look like a newcomer at all.
And the 03 version of Zhou Zhiruo is played by the great beauty Gao Yuanyuan, and the reason why Gao Yuanyuan can play the role of Zhou Zhiruo may have something to do with her appearance like Zhou Haimei. I have to say that Gao Yuanyuan's ancient decoration Zhou Zhiruo is really convincing, it is exactly what is described in the book, beautiful and elegant.
But Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills are really poor, and he was frequently stuck when he was acting, which made the director complain, and almost all of his rivalry with Jia Jingwen was pressed and beaten by the other party. Moreover, Gao Yuanyuan's blackening completely relied on heavy makeup, and there was really no eye drama at all, and he failed to interpret Zhou Zhiruo's belly blackness at all.
Compared with the two versions of Zhou Zhiruo, I still prefer Charmaine Sheh's Zhou Zhiruo, after all, although Charmaine Sheh's appearance is not as good as Gao Yuanyuan, it is not much different. But the difference in acting skills between the two can be described as worlds apart, and the role of Zhou Zhiruo cannot be a simple vase.
10: Zhao Min, Li Zi VS Jia Jingwen
Zhao Min, as the first heroine of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", actually appeared very late, but because of her excellent personality, she remained popular in Jin Yong's book, and almost every actress who played Zhao Min ushered in the peak of her career.
The TVB version of Zhao Min was actually set by Yuan Jieying at the beginning, but at that time, Yuan Jieying pushed this role to Li Zi indirectly because of the schedule. Li Zi is the first beauty in TVB, her Zhao Min women's clothes are glamorous and heroic, and she is really like the rose-like Zhao Min in the book.
The 03 version of Zhao Min is played by Taiwan's great beauty Jia Jingwen, Jia Jingwen's ancient costumes have always been her advantage, and the various exquisite costumes and headdresses in this drama reflect Jia Jingwen's beauty to the fullest.
Compared with the two versions of Zhao Min, purely in terms of appearance, Li Zi and Jia Jingwen are almost equal. But comparing the acting skills, it is obvious that Li Zi's acting skills are better, Li Zi has interpreted Zhao Min's heroic, intelligent and ruthless; And Jia Jingwen's Zhao Min will only stare at the cuteness with big eyes, unlike the decisive county lord.
Conclusion: After watching the comparison of the two versions of the beauty's appearance, I found that I still prefer the TVB version more, although the TVB actress's appearance will be a little lower, but their acting skills can shape the characters very successfully, so that people can really enter Jin Yong's martial arts world and truly feel the chivalrous flavor of martial arts dramas, the 03 version is still a bit too much like an idol drama.
