In my impression, the best actor to play Wu Song is Ding Haifeng.
When I first watched the CCTV version of "Water Margin", the part where Wu Song beat the tiger really surprised me. Wu Song's fear and fear, as well as the bravery of beating the tiger drunk on the scalp, were vividly interpreted by Ding Haifeng.
As a result, the TV series has been broadcast for many years, and when you see Ding Haifeng, you will still think of Wu Song.
It is said that when filming the scene of Wu Song fighting the tiger, the real tiger was used, even if the tiger was trained, even if there were many animal trainers standing around, Ding Haifeng was still scratched by the tiger several times, which is the reason why the CCTV version of "Water Margin" could not be surpassed.
Because, the people who originally filmed this TV series were all respectful of the film and hoped to present the best work to the audience.
Now, when I see Ding Haifeng play Wu Song again in the web drama "Wu Song Blood Battle Lion Building", I have an indescribable taste in my heart.
In the prime of life in 1998 and the middle age in 2021, no matter the appearance or physical strength, there have been great changes, Ding Haifeng lost the courage of a good man in Liangshan, and he no longer has the personal charm that Wu Song brings.
The web drama "Wusong Blood Battle Lion Building" was broadcast on March 7, because the gimmick at the time of the initial publicity was That Ding Haifeng played Wusong again after a gap of 23 years.
So, I chose to see this movie for the first time, but the initial expectation turned into disappointment.
This drama chooses the familiar story of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, but focuses on the grudge between Wu Song and Ximen Qing, because of the length of time, the portrayal of each character is almost a brush stroke, and the contest between Ximen Qing and the samurai on the Lion Tower takes a long time to unfold.
This time, Wu Dalang is played by Pan Changjiang, who has already played Wu Dalang in the drama version of "Wu Song".
The height is quite appropriate, that is, the personality lacks the thickness of Wu Dalang in the CCTV version of "Water Margin", it is not appropriate to say that he is stupid, it is not appropriate to say that he is not stupid, in short, the personality of Wu Dalang in this web drama is vague.
Pan Jinlian is played by actress Zhang Xiyuan, this version of Pan Jinlian, I think is the worst.
In the play, Zhang Xiyuan did not play the inner character of Pan Jinlian's bitter life, and even the implicitness of women in the feudal period was gone, and she was completely reduced to a woman who wanted to be caressed.
Previously, in the CCTV version of "Water Margin", Pan Jinlian, played by Wang Siyi, was more conservative and introverted.
And Ximen Qing's desire to talk back, even the admiration for Wu Song, is not a simple physiological need, but more of a psychological change after comparing with Wu Dalang.
In the new version of "Water Margin", Pan Jinlian, played by Gan Tingting, is naturally inferior to Wang Siyi, but even if it is not the kind of surprise that looks at the past, there is also the shyness that the more you look at it, the more you look at it.
Zhang Xiyuan's Pan Jinlian is more of a commotion, and it is an overtly flamboyant commotion, which completely overshadows the weakness of Pan Jinlian's previous persecution.
Therefore, this version of Pan Jinlian, in addition to looking quite OK, really has no other advantages.
"Wusong Blood Battle Lion Building" is obviously a movie that sells feelings, the story has no new ideas, except for Ding Haifeng's gimmick, there should be nothing to see.
The film begins with Wu Song's return from fighting the tiger, Pan Jinlian is newly in love, but is rejected by Wu Song, and then is taken advantage of by Ximen Qing, and wu Song in order to avenge his brother Wu Dalang, blood washes the lion building and kills Ximen Qing.
The story is still that story, and the creators may feel that the audience is already familiar with the story, so they are too lazy to dig deep into the character image, and even many important explanations have been brushed over.
The highlight is the fight between Wu Song and Ximen Qing in the Lion Tower, this climax, the color of the picture is more colorful than before, the scene layout is also luxurious, although, a lot of fancy martial arts actions are designed, unfortunately, there is no longer the thrill of human-to-human combat.
You know, in the action guidance of the CCTV version of "Water Margin", there is Yuan Heping, and it pays more attention to grounded fighting, rather than deviating from reality in pursuit of flamboyance.
Therefore, such a web drama as "Wusong Blood Battle Lion Building" is really insincere, probably, their investment is also limited, and they can only rely on selling a wave of money in the circle of feelings, no matter what, feelings are still worth some money.
Ding Haifeng personally destroyed the classic Wusong image he created, just as Lu Shuming personally destroyed Guan Yunchang's classic image in the web drama "Green Dragon Yanyue Knife", leaving a bad reputation of 3.9 points.
I always feel that a generation of people to do a generation of things, since it has become a classic, it is best not to touch, even if I touch it again, more is not the icing on the cake, but to add fuel to the fire.
