When classics are put on the screen again, people always have nostalgia for the past and expectations for a new life.
When the new version of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" recently launched by Goose Factory was launched on Tencent Video, after only three episodes were broadcast, it encountered a flood of bad reviews from the audience, and this incident has undoubtedly become a hot topic in the film and television industry recently.
"Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", as a remake of Mr. Jin Yong's classic martial arts novels, has attracted much attention since the beginning of preparation.
Among them, the first unit "Iron Blood Dan Heart" is based on the classic plot of Mr. Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which tells the love and hatred of Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Yang Kang, Mu Nianci and others in troubled times.
Crafted by a talented team of directors and production teams, the series was originally expected to be a visual and emotional feast for audiences.
Things do not turn out the way you want.
After the series started, viewers expressed their disappointment.
First of all, the plot progresses too fast, making the emotional clues and character growth process that need to be delicately depicted sloppy and lacking depth.
Guo Jing's growth process is simplified to the point that his hard work and persistence are almost invisible, and the entanglement between Yang Kang and Mu Nianci seems too abrupt and lacks the necessary emotional foreshadowing.
This kind of plot arrangement in a hurry makes the original story full of tension boring.
Secondly, the roughness of the production is also the focus of criticism from the audience.
The setting seems too simple, and even far from the description in the original book in some places.
For example, the savannah described in the original book has become a desert covered with yellow sand in the series, which is inconsistent with the original book.
In addition, the use of filters is too frequent, which makes the picture lose its original sense of realism, and the fight scenes appear fake and lack a sense of power.
The most unbearable thing for the audience is the improper casting.
Guo Jing played by this Sha is considered by the audience to lack youth and heroism, which is far from the image of the hero who is indomitable and has the world in mind.
And Huang Rong played by Bao Shangen was criticized for lacking intelligence and agility, and did not show Huang Rong's wit and cunning.
In addition, Yang Kang played by Wang Hongyi and Mu Nianci played by Huang Yi are also considered to be quite different from the original images and cannot resonate with the audience.
Mei Chaofeng played by Meng Ziyi aroused strong dissatisfaction from the audience.
Although Mei Chaofeng is a villain in the original book, she also has her own persistence and affection.
In the new version of "Iron Blood Pill Heart", Mei Chaofeng's image has been completely subverted and turned into a woman with bewitching makeup and frivolous manners, which is very different from the image in the original book.
The audience said that such casting and performance could not make people believe that this was Mei Chaofeng in their minds.
In the face of the audience's bad comments and doubts, the director and the production team didn't seem to have much response.
They may think that this is only the personal opinion of some viewers, and it is not enough to represent the voice of the entire market.
They ignore the power of the audience.
In the Internet era, the voice of the audience can be quickly spread through various channels, forming a strong pressure of public opinion.
And this pressure often has a serious impact on the word-of-mouth and ratings of the series.
Opinions and questions about "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" and "Iron Blood Pill Heart".
Remaking classics such as Jin Yong's martial arts novels is both a challenge and an opportunity.
Judging from the broadcast effect of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" and "Iron Blood Dan Heart", it is obvious that the challenges outweigh the opportunities.
The audience's feedback on this new drama is generally poor, mainly reflected in the rough plot, poor production, and improper casting.
The first is that the plot advances too quickly, obviously ignoring the in-depth portrayal of details and emotional clues.
Jin Yong's novels are appealing in large part because of their rich emotional expressions and detailed descriptions of the characters' growth processes.
In the new version of "Iron Heart", these have been simplified or even omitted, causing the story to lose its original depth and charm.
Secondly, the roughness of the production is also a problem that cannot be ignored.
The improper use of scene construction and filters seriously affected the audience's viewing experience.
Especially in the handling of fight scenes, there is a lack of realism and power, which makes it difficult to engage.
Moreover, the problem of casting is even more difficult for the audience to accept.
The inconsistency between the actor's image and the character's image and the lack of acting skills make the originally vivid characters dull and boring.
In particular, the portrayal of the main characters, such as Guo Jing and Huang Rong, failed to meet the audience's expectations.
In the face of negative reviews from the audience, we can't help but ask: why did the production team make so many mistakes? Is it because the understanding of the original work is not deep enough, or the expectations of the audience are not well understood? Also, What was the original intention of remaking the classic? Is it for the sake of passing on the classics, or is it just for commercial gain?
Combined with the relevant information searched on the Internet, it can be seen that the problem of "Iron Blood Pill Heart" is not an isolated case.
In recent years, a number of remakes have suffered from similar difficulties.
This reminds us that remaking a classic is not an easy task and requires more effort and effort from the production team.
From the polishing of the plot to the selection of actors, to the sophistication of production, every link must not be sloppy.
Only in this way can we really capture the hearts of the audience and make the classics glow with new brilliance.
The audience should also maintain a rational and tolerant attitude, give sufficient support and encouragement to the production team, and jointly promote the development and innovation of martial arts dramas.
We also hope that the audience will be rational and tolerant.
Although there are many problems and shortcomings in the new version of "Iron Blood Heart", we cannot deny that there are also some highlights and positive points in it.
After all, every work is the result of the hard work of the production team, and we should give them enough respect and encouragement.
Of course, this does not mean that we should turn a blind eye to all problems, but rather seek progress and growth through criticism.
