Speaking of "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", the first thing that comes to mind is the version played by Zhao Wei, and later Li Sheng also starred, although the new version of the picture looks clear and comfortable, but the plot changes too much, more like the modern version of the love drama. This film starring Zhao Yazhi 34 years ago is more loyal to the original work, and the protagonists and supporting roles are quite eye-catching, and Mrs. Zheng Shaoqiu is also there.
"Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is adapted from Mr. Lin Yutang's famous works, telling the story of the yao, Zeng and Niu families in the late Qing Dynasty, and the sorrows and joys and grievances between them for more than 30 years, which can be called "the modern version of the Dream of the Red Chamber". At that time, this drama could invite Zhao Yazhi to Hong Kong Wireless Huadan to come back, which really took a lot of effort.
Yao Mulan, played by Zhao Yazhi, is showy outside the huizhong, rigid and soft, and has extraordinary intelligence, especially the temperament, which is pinched to death, and is truly natural. Lin Rusi, the daughter of Mr. Lin Yutang, once said that Zhao Yazhi is Yao Mulan in her father's heart.
Mulan has been hit by the impact of trendy ideas, but in her bones she has the conservativeness of feudal society, and she obviously likes Kong Lifu in her heart, but she marries her great-grandson Ya by the order of her parents. But she was not sad or tired of the "tragic" marriage, and she felt it with affection and eventually achieved happiness.
Playing the role of great-grandson Ya is the Taiwanese student Ouyang Long, that is, Ouyang Nana's father, who was also a veritable handsome man when he was young. In the original work, Sun Ya first liked Mulan, but he was a bit rebellious, pursuing freedom, and at first he was not able to accept such a perfect wife.
The great-grandson played by Ouyang Long is a rich man who follows the rules, while Pan Yueming's version, at first, likes Mo Shuo, and later cheats with Cao Lihua, and the two have a child. Li Sheng's version is also, one by one made up so dog blood, when I watched it, I thought Mulan could really endure.
Manniang, played by Zeng Yajun, is kind and beautiful, has no quarrel with the world, married into the Zeng family because of Chong Xi, although she is a victim of feudal etiquette, I feel that she is an innocent woman who dedicates herself for love. It seems cowardly, but it has the most rebellious spirit.
When she debuted with the title of "Little Liu Xuehua", her appearance and acting skills were very outstanding. The two have also cooperated in "Smoke and Rain", Liu Xuehua plays Yiping, and Zeng Yajun plays Yiping's mother Fu Wenpei.
Niu Suyun, in the play is a big attraction, the early big miss was brutal and willful, after marrying, brash and selfish, and later degenerated into a cross-cutting flower, and finally sacrificed for the War of Resistance, heroic martyrdom. Her life can be said to be burdened by her original family.
Guan Jinghua interpreted this character to the fullest, with both gods and forms. This name is not familiar to everyone, right? Zheng Shaoqiu's second wife, when she was young, had a beautiful appearance and outstanding image. The two formed an indissoluble relationship that year because of their cooperation in "Chu Liuxiang".
There is also a particularly brilliant Gui sister, who was originally a servant around the old lady, and later became the concubine of the great-old lady, supporting the entire Zeng family with the strength of one person, doing things vigorously, although the main thing, but there is no covetous heart, unlike the new version of the love for power and profit.
Li Lifeng, the actor of GuiJie, is not a standard beauty, who has been playing grandma and mother since her debut, but the roles she has created are vivid, and she also won the Queen of Admiralty with the role of Aunt Gui.
Zhao Jiarong plays Mulan's sister Yao Moxuan, who is lively and beautiful, delicate and cute. I remember watching Zhao Wei's version, Mo Shu was impulsive and reckless in the early stage, and finally died violently. But in the original work, Mo Shuo not only did not die, but also called the happiest person in the whole play.
There was also the yao family's great young master who was fascinated by the silver screen, daring to love and dare to hate, and finally dying with hatred.
The protagonists and supporting characters are quite eye-catching, and from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, from the skirt to the qipao, the shape of the characters in the play is also unique. I wonder how many viewers have seen it?
