The gap between Jinsong's version of Lu Zhishen and Zang Jinsheng's version is too big, not just a matter of acting
TV drama remakes, originally a good thing, because it can be better than before, whether it is hardware or software, but in recent years, there have been too many remade film and television dramas, not only did not surpass the former, but even the most basic concepts were confused. "Water Margin" is the most typical case of remake failure.
Everyone likes one of the characters in the Water Margin- the flower monk Lu Zhishen.
Lu Zhishen in the original work is a very three-dimensional image and a very brilliant character. Compared with many other "good men" who indiscriminately kill innocents, Lu Zhishen's many shots are purely to help weak people, such as punching the town of Kansai and making a big fuss in Peach Blossom Village.
What amazes me the most is the part of punching the town of Kansai, in the eyes of everyone, Lu Zhishen is a reckless rough man, but when facing the town of Kansai, Lu Zhishen is thick and thin, for example, in order to delay time, it is to fat meat not lean meat, but also to lean meat not fat meat, which gives Jin Cuilian father and daughter time to escape.
Compared with other Water Margin heroes, Lu Zhishen's treatment of women can be described as the best Liangshan good man. why? One is that he is not close to women, and the other is that he is upright.
As a good man, Lu Zhishen was quite angry with the lecture notes, and he did not hesitate to beat himself into it in order to save the Nine-Striped Dragon Shi Jin.
Such a rough man, you think it is just reckless? Sometimes there is also a cute side, when you go to be a monk, your beard will also be shaved off, Lu Zhi looked embarrassed and said obediently: "Can you leave a little for the Shang family and don't shave it off?" "Such a lovely and upright man is indeed very attractive.
As a good man, not to mention the martial arts aspect, upside down the weeping willow tree, during the period of being a monk, one person picked the master brothers of the entire monastery, and by virtue of this, it was basically recognized that the existence of the first combat strength on Liangshan except for the Jade Qilin was comparable to Lin Chong Wusong and so on.
And his shortcomings are also visible to the naked eye, for example, he has a violent personality, wants to drink but people do not sell him, and attacks the next three roads in a hurry, although he leaves his hand but also makes the peddlers suffer for half a day. Drunk and troublesome, he drove a bunch of monks out of the temple at Mount Wutai.
And such a person, if presented in film and television dramas, is it not very simple? After all, there is flesh and blood, and the image is distinct, but the difference between several versions is still very large.
First, let's talk about the 1998 edition of Zang Jinsheng.
Zang Jinsheng, with a height of 183cm, is basically very close to the body shape of the ancient heroes and good men, which can be said to be standard. And his own appearance is also a tall figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, beard, a face that always smiles. Zang Jinsheng in life does not have the domineering "King Kong" on the screen, but more is the boldness and enthusiasm of northern men.
Perhaps it is these two contrasts that allow Zang Jinsheng to play Lu Zhishen in the Water Margin, portraying the sunshine and femininity of this role vividly.
Zang Jinsheng's portrayal of the role of Lu Zhishen is very natural, not so blunt to play, perhaps this is also his understanding of this character.
But look at the 2011 version of Lu Zhishen, played by Jin Song.
In terms of body shape, it is similar to Zang Jinsheng, but Jin Song is always a little unsatisfactory between his eyebrows. The external gap with Zang Jinsheng has been formed, and there is no Zang Jinsheng's mighty domineering spirit that can be revealed by standing without performing or speaking.
And Jin Song always feels a little weak in his understanding of the character of Lu Zhishen, first, he plays very bluntly, whether it is the tone or demeanor, it always feels like he deliberately wants to act like this, like an imitation show.
We often say that whether a person has cultivation or not can be seen from the temperament revealed by a person. The actor is the same, the same role, let different people play, the effect is definitely not the same.
One thing about Jinsong is remarkable, that is, Jinsong's smile is very good-looking, and the match with the original work is also very high.
Although the two people can not completely compare, each has its own characteristics, but can intuitively see the difference, I think it is still very large, the 2011 version of the other Water Margin heroes played, is also not satisfactory. What do you think?
