This is a crew with only a dozen people in the group, why can it stand out in many remakes? In 2003, a "Biography of Sui and Tang Heroes" based on the theme of Sui and Tang Dynasties was released, and it has been 17 years since its inception. For now, although this drama is classic, there have always been many TV dramas set in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Whether it is Yan Yikuan's version, or Zhang Weijian and Yu Shaoqun's version of "Sui and Tang Heroes", in this era of remake dramas, if you want to get a classic name, it is not the Huang Haibing version of "Sui and Tang Heroes". After the TV series was released, many viewers who liked to study the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties gave a high evaluation to the Version of Huang Haibing, saying that his temperament was very elegant and elegant, so that the audience could feel that the performance was very real, and the shooting process behind this rave of praise was difficult.
In 2002, the whole country was in the SARS period, the crew was in short supply, resulting in the filming of large-scale war scenes, the group actors involved in the acting could count both hands, the general war scenes were very imposing, let alone hundreds of thousands of people, but there were only a dozen people in the battlefield in this drama, which was really pitiful. After the war, the battlefield was very clean, which was really a fly in the ointment for this classic masterpiece, but fortunately, the main actors in the play were all acting skills online, and the cast was very strong.
And according to relevant statistics, there are more than 160 famous and surnamed actors in the play, such as Qin Shubao's actor Huang Haibing, Luo Cheng's actor Nie Yuan and other stars, although "Sui and Tang Heroes Biography" only has 40 episodes, but many Sui and Tang heroes have a complete introduction in the play.
First of all, the key character qin shubao in the whole play, the actor who played this role is the first Huang Haibing who is known as the first to cover the martial arts masterpieces, although he was 30 years old at that time, but Qin Shubao's setting is just mature and stable type, so this role is also a rare fit for Huang Haibing.
Before starring in Qin Shubao, he was already famous, with the role of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West", the fire spread all over the country, and was also jokingly called "the most handsome Tang monk" in history by netizens, do you still have an impression?
In 1994, Huang Haibing, a sophomore, had already become the resident star of martial arts dramas, playing the role of Shen Lang in the history of wulin and the Tang monk who subverted the audience's cognition in "Journey to the West". Because of Huang Haibing's handsome and charming appearance, he has also been appreciated by Aunt Qiong Yao, which can be described as the peak of his debut. In order to invite him to star in the TV series, he invited Huang Haibing to cooperate four times, but due to the limited schedule, he politely declined, fortunately, from the beginning of "Journey to the West", the accumulated audience is still there.
Although "Journey to the West" also has a lot of remakes, but not according to common sense, and even a variety of ghost animal fight scenes, so far people remember it, because the theme is too novel, which led to the film investors have withdrawn, the original Role of Sun Wukong is looking for a six-year-old child to star, but his wife does not agree, the director has no choice, can only personally fight.
Although Cao Rong's version of Sun Wukong has smooth playing movements, the expression on his face is not at all agile compared with the six-year-old children's version of Sun Wukong, and he is always expressionless, so he has been spat on by netizens for a while. This version of Sun Wukong was also rated as "Ghost Animal Sun Wukong", the drama is not only Sun Wukong ghost animals, many of the fight scenes in the play are also ghost animals.
The reason for this is that a novel of nearly 20,000 words, and the investors have to make the original content of only a dozen episodes, let the director make it into 30 episodes, which can make the screenwriter and director Cao Rong sad, in order to drag on for a long time, can only use the editing technique to lengthen the plot. After spending more than half a year of hard work, I finally finished the TV series, which led to the fight scenes we saw, an action was repeated many times, which led to the shots of those ghost animals.
Although director Cao Rong relied on the "Journey to the West Sequel" fire, but after this drama, he did not get his wish to become the protagonist, can only play some small supporting roles, the actor's road is more and more limited, and finally he can only turn to the background, single-mindedly specializing in the director's industry, "The Legend of the Eagle Hero" and "Journey to the West Sequel", have the same encounter, why can the former become a classic, the latter was spit on by the audience?
"The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes" As one of the must-see dramas after the 90s, Qin Qiong starring Huang Haibing subverted the conventional impression in people's minds, the drama in just 40 episodes, from the establishment of the Sui Dynasty to the Xuanwumen Incident, although the group performance is limited, but the momentum should not be less. Since it is a martial arts drama, the war scene is definitely indispensable, so the horse battle is good, or the ground battle, in order to ensure the authenticity of the shooting effect, all the actors are real when shooting the fight scene, and the fist to the flesh is very real.
In the duel between Li Yuanba and Pei Yuanqing, both sides are holding sledgehammers, the moves are pressing step by step, the people watching are nervous, in order to show a good martial arts effect, the crew also specially hired a professional martial arts master Ma Yucheng, as well as more than 30 professional martial artists to act as actors. Among them, in a fight scene between Shi Xiaolong, Huang Haibing, and Nie Yuan, because the three of them often play freely, they often almost fight in the end, in the scene where Pei Yuanqing single-handedly fights Qin Qiongluocheng, because the two sides are too into the scene, causing Nie Yuan to fall off his horse and scratch his palm, so that in shooting other scenes, all literary dramas must use stand-ins.
In addition, this kind of martial arts drama that embodies the hegemony of the crowd must be indispensable to wine drama, because there are more wine dramas and has attracted the sponsorship of many distilleries. They not only took all the wine in the play, but even solved part of the funding problem for the crew, so that the crew of "The Legend of sui and Tang Heroes" could complete the filming during the critical period of the SARS epidemic.
Although this drama is a classic in the minds of the audience, it is very disappointing for fans of the original work, such as Yang Lin was killed by Luo Cheng in the book, not killed by Qin Shubao, and according to the ranking of the Eighteen Good Men of sui and Tang Dynasties, Qin Shubao is far behind Yang Lin and other distorted the original writing, which is probably the most regrettable.
The filming environment and now compared with the "Sui and Tang Dynasty Heroes", although the difference is far, but the degree of intention is most of the martial arts dramas are not comparable, now look back at this drama, still can relish, well this issue is here, which martial arts drama is your childhood memories, welcome to share in the comment area below.
