Among these many classics, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl, appearing on the screen again and again, witnessing the changes of the times.
However, in recent years, the frequent remakes of this classic work by domestic dramas are like an increasingly fierce storm, which has set off layers of waves in the hearts of the audience and caused everyone's deep concern.
The remake should have been with a heart of awe and the highest respect for the classics.
It should be a bridge for a new generation of viewers to step into the world of martial arts, which is full of mystery and charm.
But how has it become a formidable minefield today?
For example, the recently launched "Jin Yong Martial Arts World", when it was not yet broadcast, it whetted the audience's appetite.
Everyone was full of joy and expectation, and they were even more curious about the casting, and their hearts were like a little rabbit, jumping constantly.
Who doesn't want to see those characters who are too familiar to be more familiar to shine with a different light under the new interpretation?
When this drama really met everyone, the audience was like being poured a big basin of ice water from the top of their heads, and their hearts were cold.
Let's take the character of Mei Chaofeng as an example, in Mr. Jin Yong's original book, it is a ruthless character that makes people feel creepy when they hear the name.
Her ruthlessness, her gloom, is like a mark engraved in her bones, deeply imprinted in the heart of every reader.
But this drama is good, it actually shaped Mei Chaofeng into a beautiful image! This can shatter the audience's inherent perception of Mei Chaofeng in their hearts.
You must know that for so many years, Mei Chaofeng has been synonymous with eerie horror in everyone's minds.
Every movement of her, every look in her eyes, exudes a chilling breath.
Is this subversive adaptation a bold innovation or pure nonsense?
Let's think about it, why have the previous successful martial arts remakes won the love and praise of the audience?
It is because they cleverly incorporate new elements on the basis of respecting the original work, making the story fuller and the characters more three-dimensional.
For example, a certain version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", while retaining the classic image of Guo Jing's honest and honest and Huang Rong's eccentric, has carefully polished some details to make the characters more vivid and vivid, as if they have come out of the book.
Look at the current version of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", which changes Mei Chaofeng into a beauty, is it a bit too hard? Innovation is a good thing, but innovation must also have a degree.
If it's just to attract attention, to subvert the classics at all costs in order to be different, isn't that a bit of a sacrifice?
When the audience watches martial arts dramas, they not only see wonderful fight scenes and beautiful pictures, but more importantly, the righteousness of the rivers and lakes and the chivalrous bones.
The ruthlessness and gloom of Mei Chaofeng's character is exactly how she survives in that river and lake, and it is part of her destiny.
If this part is changed, is it still the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in our hearts?
Some people may say that times are changing, and so are the tastes of the audience, and we have to keep pace with the times.
That's true, but keeping up with the times doesn't mean changing the classics beyond recognition.
The reason why a classic is a classic is because it has irreplaceable charm and value.
We can innovate in the form of expression, we can improve in the way we shoot, but we can't lose the soul of the classics.
Let's take a look at the classic couple combination of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
Huang Rong, played by Bao Shangen, should be synonymous with smart, smart, playful and cute.
But what about the actual presentation? The puffy face, the obvious swollen eye bubbles, where is the slightest bit of Huang Rong's cleverness?
What the audience expects to see is a witty Huang Rong with a smile and a smile, rather than such a wooden and godless appearance.
Guo Jing played by this Sha, although it fits the characteristics of the character in some aspects, it always makes people feel that something is missing.
Guo Jing's kind of honesty and perseverance, and the great temperament in the ordinary, have not been vividly displayed.
His performance was too bland, like a cup of unbrewed tea, bland and tasteless.
At the beginning of the casting, the audience still had certain expectations and confidence in most of the actors.
After all, everyone wants to trust the creator's vision and believe that they can choose the most suitable actors to interpret these classic roles.
But the reality gave everyone a resounding slap in the face, and the performance of those actors who were originally expected to be high was a big disappointment.
The new generation of actors may have youthful vitality and unlimited potential, but when faced with such a complex and deeply rooted role, their immaturity and rustiness are exposed.
They are like children who have not yet learned to walk, but they are asked to dance on the stage, and the result is only to stumble and fail to show the charm of the character.
And those powerful actors should be the anchors of the whole drama, but they failed to fit perfectly with the characters.
Is their acting skills regressing? Or is the character itself difficult to navigate? This is a question worth pondering.
The audience's dissatisfaction is not unfounded, and they have a deep affection for these classic characters.
Every remake is a challenge to this emotion.
If the creator can't understand the original work with his heart and can't respect the audience's emotions, then what's the point of such a remake?
We can't help but ask, where should the remake of domestic dramas go? Will you continue to be lost in the controversy, or will you learn from the pain and rediscover your reverence for the classics?
Perhaps, only when the creator really lets go of impetuousness, polishes every character with his heart, and interprets every story with true feelings, can these classics radiate new vitality in the new era.
Otherwise, the remake can only be a farce, which not only ruins the good memories in the hearts of the audience, but also disgraces the reputation of domestic dramas.
Let's wait and see if future domestic dramas can come out of their own glory on the road of remaking classics.
So, what exactly do we do with such a remake phenomenon? Is it to blindly criticize and blame, or to give a certain understanding and tolerance? This is a question worth pondering.
As an audience, what we want to see are works that truly interpret the classics with heart and treat the audience with sincerity.
What we want to see is a remake that will preserve the spirit of the classics while also surprising us.
is not those who wantonly trample on the classic "thunder drama" for commercial interests and for the sake of temporary popularity.
