Which Jin Yong adaptation is the best?
Everyone has their own answers, and a quarrel will turn the sky upside down.
I think the answer is basically this:
Everyone, before reading the original book, the first one or two Jin Yong dramas they have seen, or the Jin Yong dramas starring their favorite actors, are the best versions.
Sounds like a joke?
No.
I know many bits, and when it comes to chatting, it goes something like this:
The first experience is the 1982 version of "Tianlong Babu", you will feel that Liang Jiaren's Xiao Feng is the most chivalrous, Huang Rihua's virtual bamboo is also very cute, and Chen Yulian's Wang Yuyan is the most beautiful. Ah also, Huang Xia's lyrics are very majestic! As for the old clothes on the set? Well, that's it for the old martial arts dramas!
The first experience is the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", you will feel that Weng Meiling's Huang Rong is simply eccentric to perfection, Huang Rihua was born to play Guo Jing, Zeng Jiang's Huang Yaoshi was personable, and Liu Dan's Hong Qigong was lively and cute.
Although many of the plots have nothing to do with the original, but... Miao Qiaowei's Yang Kang is handsome!
The first experience is the 1991 version of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", you will feel that Gong Cien's Cheng Lingsu is the best Cheng Lingsu, unmatched. The ending song "Dream Chaser" is also good; Meng Fei's Hu Fei is good! Although Cheng Lingsu is inevitably too beautiful to be in line with the original work, he really went to the snowy mountains to shoot so much! And in the film, the fur is so beautiful...
The first experience is the 1993 edition of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", and you will feel that Zhou Haimei's Zhou Zhiruo has no reason before and then has no one to come, and Sun Xing's Yang Xiao is far better than the book. Extinction Master Tai and Zhang Sanfeng acted well. Although Ma Jingtao was a little excited, he was generally very handsome. Moreover, it is generally in line with the original serial version! Well Ye Tong's Zhao Min will make people think of Xu Xian, but that is not the point... Li Liqun's Zhu Yuanzhang is not bad!
The first experience is the 1994 version of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", you will feel that Zhu Yin's Huang Rong is the most beautiful, Zhang Zhilin's Guo Jing is also very handsome, although some are too literary, but there is the original cute energy. Although Huang Yaoshi looks a little strange, the plot is basically in line with the original work, and Liu Dan's Hong Qigong is also very familiar. And...... How beautiful is Juin!
The first experience is the 1995 version of "Divine Eagle Hero", you will think that Gu Tianle's Yang Guo is so handsome that he is miserable, Li Ruotong's little dragon girl is the real ice beauty, and Li Qihong's Guo Xiang is innocent and cute. Although Huang Rong and Guo Jing are a little bit passerby, but... How beautiful Gu Tianle is! The ending song is still so poignant!
The first experience is the 1996 version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", you will think that Ling Hu Chong should have been Lu Songxian so dashing and uninhibited, although Liang Peiling played Ren Yingying is not top-notch, but the temperament is in ah! Wang Wei's Yue Buqun is so good! He Meidian's Yilin little sister is the most beautiful!
The first experience was the 1997 version of "Tianlong Babu", and naturally felt that Huang Rihua was Xiao Feng and Li Ruotong was Wang Yuyan. Although Murong Fu was not very handsome, how cute were Jiu Mozhi's ears! Chen Haomin's Duan Reputation is in place, and Fan Shaohuang's virtual bamboo is also very good! Arjun and Azi are not very beautiful, but how beautiful is the soundtrack of Xiao Feng and Arjun gathering at Yanmen Pass... Oh, and the Divine Comedy of the Difficult Scriptures! In the end, only Huang Rihua's eighteen palms were right!
The first experience is Zhang Jizhong's "Tianlong Eight Parts", many people think that Hu Jun's Xiao Feng is more grandfather, Chen Hao's Ah Zi is more beautiful, Liu Yifei's Wang Yuyan is also very immortal, Zhong Liti's Lady Ma casting god, Jiang Xin's Mu Wanqing is not also very cute. The most important thing is the momentum, the war drama of thousands of troops and horses is too addictive! Murong Fu of Xiuqing also acted particularly well! ——In "Water Margin", Xiu Qing plays Hua Rong, his brother Xiu Ge plays the young Gao Qi; in "Tianlong Babu", Xiu Qing plays Murong Fu, and Xiu Ge plays his subordinates...
The first experience is Zhang Jizhong's "Legend of the Archery Hero" will say that Zhou Xun is what Huang Rong should look like, psychic and clear, that is, the voice is almost the same; Yang Liping's Mei Chaofeng god stroke ah! The desert wind and sand have a lot of taste. Although Zhou Jie's Yang Kang acted very strangely, Jiang Qinqin's Mu Nianci was so beautiful. And it is more in line with the original than the 1983 version! Even everyday porcelain furniture and the like are very historical!
The first experience is the 2003 version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", and you will think that this is the best Yitian. Su Youpeng's Zhang Wuji is very cute, the four women in the same boat, especially Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan are super beautiful! Although Zhang Tielin's Yang Xiao is very strange, but it is a supporting role, the stunt animation is very good. The scenes of Zhang Tielin and Wang Gang are very strange, but the TV series is not so picky in the original...
The first experience is Wu Qihua's version of Li Zi's "Yi Tian Slaughter Dragon Record", which will emphasize that this version is the best: Li Zimei, Wu Qihua and Li Zi's scenes are particularly sweet. Although Zhou Zhiruo of She Shiman looks average, ah, How beautiful Li Zi is! Li Zi is the best Zhao Min!!!
Of course, I also know some:
For example, Ling Fox Chong must be performed by Zhou Runfa to taste enough...
Xu Qing's Ren Yingying is the best...
Oriental undefeated is Lin Qingxia's good, Mao Weitao's oriental undefeated also has a different flavor...
Zhang Min's Yuan Ziyi is the most beautiful, Wu Qihua is a little old, but his chemistry with Li Zi is very good...
Although Ren Xianqi's Yang Guo is not very good, Xia Wenxi's Huang Rong is not bad...
Li Liqun's Ouyang Feng and Ren Yixing are also very flavorful...
Xiao Zhao is of course still Qiu Shuzhen the best...
Is Yin Susu Guo Feili or Zhang Minhao?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
No one can convince anyone.
This also does not blame the audience of the episode.
For readers of the original work, there is a basic criterion, that is, whether the adapted work conforms to the details of the original work and its spirit.
But the Audience of Jin Yong Opera is a wonderful group:
First, many Jin Yong enthusiasts do not read the original work.
I talked about the difference between Jin Yong and Gu Long's treatment now.
From the perspective of writing stories, Jin Yong and Gu Long both learned Western novel techniques. But Jin Yong cleverly used the narrative method of 19th-century serial novels (such as Dumas), combined with China's own classical routines (many tributes to "Water Margin" in "Book of Swords and Vengeance", many tributes to "Dream of the Red Chamber" in "Deer Ding", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in "Tianlong Babu") and were good at creating dramatic conflicts and big scenes:
Therefore, when everyone talks about the characters of Jin Yong's novels, they will be even more unexpected in the actions and stories: Xiao Feng broke into Xianzhuang and Committed Suicide with Yanmen Guan, Duan Yu and his sisters' entanglements, Yang Guo's love struggle with Xiaolongnü, Zhang Wuji's difficult struggle to solve the problem of the six strong and the two daughters at the wedding... These scenes are stories that can be shown, contradictions and conflicts.
The traditional routine was taken to the extreme by Jin Yong, and Gu Long later admitted that he had been imitating Jin Yong in the early days, and then intended to create a new path for himself.
There are also many famous masters imitated by gulong, but the narrative is more modern. Therefore, in the early stages of Gu Long's novels, such as "Absolute Double Glory", it is naturally a good story suitable for adaptation, but the middle and late works are more like detectives solving cases, paying more attention to individual adventures and psychological struggles. This text is very good, but it is difficult to make into a TV series.
And gulong later established a character image, not relying on the plot, relying on nagging, relying on stir-up. When you read a novel, you will think that their atmosphere is cool and nagging is funny, but the film and television series cannot be filmed: one shot is easy to appear as a middle two.
Therefore, most of the lovers of cologne are fans of the original.
And many of Jin Yong's lovers do not even read the original book. What they love to see is the story itself.
Since a considerable majority of Jin Yong drama audiences do not read the original work. So whether it is in line with the original work and its spirit is not the key for them.
As mentioned earlier, in the 1990s, many martial arts films in Hong Kong were changed by the magic of Jin Yong - because the script had been filmed, so there were changes. Therefore, there are classics such as "East Evil and West Poison" and "Laughing Proud of the East Undefeated".
Therefore, even conforming to the original work is not the most critical.
Second, the adaptation of Jin Yong's novel also spans a variety of elements such as martial arts, history, and love, so it is difficult to unify the standards.
Some people think that conforming to the original work is the most important, and some people think that the martial arts charm is the most important.
Some people think that the protagonist is the most important, some people think that the play is the most important - after all, most people are subconsciously, cheering for the few films they like.
You say that there is no martial arts flavor, and you will be said by fans to have emotional drama.
If you feel that the emotional drama is poor, you will complain that martial arts movies are mainly fighting.
You say that the shooting details are not elaborate, and people will roll their eyes and say that martial arts films are not historical films...
Therefore, except for some that are too bad to watch, most of the works have their own fans.
Except for die-hard readers, everyone will believe that the first one or two Jin Yong dramas they watch/the Jin Yong dramas performed by their favorite actors are the best.
Maybe it doesn't fit the original, maybe the background is wrong, maybe a certain supporting role is particularly much, maybe a certain protagonist is particularly poor, but what is important is:
That's the first one or two of many people's Golden Philharmonic dramas, and they are pit works—that's the most beautiful.
So, don't deliberately convince each other:
The Jin Yong drama that I preconceived and liked, or the Jin Yong drama starring my favorite star, that is the best version.
Just like everyone will maintain their hometown, teenager, first love, alma mater.
"Even if I spit it out, only I can spit it out, and it can't be someone else's turn!"
