Compared with some overly facial protagonists, those supporting roles in film and television dramas that are either distinct, or have outstanding appearance and acting skills, or are brilliantly set up often leave a deeper impression on the audience.
For example, Jiang Yuyan in "Little Fish and Flowers Without Defects", blackened reasonably, she will repay her all the way to kill, and finally even several heroines died in her hands, hating people's teeth at the same time, the limelight also overshadowed the heroine Tie XinLan.
There are also some characters, because there are historical prototypes, related wild histories, and many novels based on them, which can arouse the interest of the audience when they are filmed and televisionized, even if their roles are few, they are particularly eye-catching, such as the Song Dynasty famous trick Li Shishi.
Li Shishi grabbed the camera to the beginning of yanqing's branch line in "Water Margin", and later derived a number of independent film and television works with her as the theme, from supporting roles to protagonists.
So far, there are nearly twenty versions of Master Li, and let's talk about the most representative ten.
Li Shishi was first put on the screen in the 1975 Shaw film "Dang Kouzhi", which has the same name as the novel written by Yu Wanchun in the Qing Dynasty, but the content is not actually half a cent. The film is a sequel to the 1972 Shaw film "Water Margin", directed by Zhang Che and Wu Ma, the cast is quite strong, Jiang David plays Yan Qing, Dillon plays Wu Song, Li Xiuxian, Gu Feng, Yue Hua, Qin Pei, Chen Huimin and so on are all there.
Li Shishi is played by singer Zhong Lingling, and her film and television works are only "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" and this "Dang Kou Zhi" starring Bruce Lee.
In the film, Li Shishi appeared with Yan Qing to have a piece of piano and sound, a handsome and dashing, a beautiful flower, euphemistic and continuous instrument sound, pulling the atmosphere to the fullest.
Immediately after Master Li began to pluck Yan Qing, to see the flower embroidery on his brother's body, he pulled up the drapery, and the slim jade hand ripped off his brother's shirt, and the flower embroidery jumped in front, and the love and desire were almost expressed in silence.
In this man's play, Li Shishi can be described as a beautiful stroke, but due to the length of the film, her role is only to help Yan Qing introduce her and get pardon from the emperor. The good men of Liangshan accepted zhao'an to go to the south to conquer Fang La, and almost the entire army was destroyed, in a sense, this introduction of Li Shishi was the fuse for the good men to decline.
Although the scene of Jiang David and Dillon in this film is really rare, the overall plot is relatively scattered, and it has not caused a great response after its release, and Zhong Lingling's version of Li Shishi does not have a great influence.
In 1986, TVB filmed a 20-episode TV series "Lin Chong" based on the good Han Lin Chong in "Water Margin", in which Tang Zhenye played Yan Qing and Qi Meizhen played Li Shishi.
At that time, Qi Meizhen was 24 years old, like a cold and beautiful little white flower. The styling is also quite ancient, in addition to lighting the hind legs that seem to drag the actor's appearance today.
Qi Meizhen well interpreted Li Shishi's stubbornness and qinggao, she tried hard to break through the limitations of the Qinglou woman, but after some humiliation by Gao Li, all her self-esteem collapsed, and finally succumbed to Huang Wei and did not fly away with Yan Qing.
Qi Meizhen's appearance when she was young was a must, remembering that her husband Miao Huaqiaowei once laughed in an interview and said that she was electrocuted by her at the first sight.
Li Shishi is only one of the most stunning of her many costume roles, in addition to the little master sister in "Laughing proud of the jianghu", Yin Danfeng in "Wulin Sacred Fire Order", Princess Qinglian in "Yang Jiajian" and so on are greatly acclaimed.
The earliest mainland version was the 16-episode TV series "Li Shishi" filmed from the perspective of Li Shishi in 1989, also known as "A Generation of Famous Prostitutes Li Shishi", played by He Qing. He Qing is the only actress who plays Li Shishi twice, and 7 years later, in the CCTV version of "Water Margin", she played Li Shishi again, twice a completely different personality, and the lover and destination are also very different.
In "Master Li", the 25-year-old He Qing's appearance is flourishing, which well portrays the beauty, kindness and sentimentality of Master Li. She has Zhang Xiaolang, the lover of Qingmei Bamboo Horse, but she must meet big figures such as Song Huizong and Jin Junjun generals. She can't help herself, but she has never lost her heart, she understands the great righteousness, her heart is related to her homeland, and she has a strong national consciousness in her bones. After the fall of the Song Kingdom, she fell into the Golden Camp and resolutely martyred the country with her death.
At that time, the TV series shooting was relatively bold, and the scale was probably difficult to pass the review today, and many of the dramas in the play brought great shock to the young minds of many viewers at that time, but it was also a good drama. Not only Master Li, every character in the play is plump and three-dimensional, the plot development is natural and not procrastinating, taking into account the hatred of the country and the family in the love of children, and the intention is several grades higher than some of the current TV series that talk about love.
Many people say that He Qing's appearance is too gentle and dignified, and it is not suitable for playing a generation of famous prostitutes, but what can be sought after by the king and the powerful, even the literati and inkers, is by no means a superficial vulgar fan. He Qing's beauty is very advanced, quiet and agile, a pair of eyes feminine and charming.
This is also one of the reasons why CCTV later filmed "Water Margin" and then invited her to play Li Shishi.
In "Water Margin", Master Li met the prodigal son Yan Qing, and finally left the land of right and wrong by boat with Yan Qing, and the ending was much better.
At this time, He Qing is 32 years old, compared to the 89 version of her charm in the play, more feminine, very beautiful shape, with her classical temperament, it can be called a heavenly beauty, the city is falling.
After playing this version of Master Li, it means that He Qing has performed the four famous works over and over again, and no one has broken this record so far.
In the early 1990s, in the TVB 20 episode short drama "Flying Over the OfficialDom", Xie Ning played the role of Li Shishi and had a sadistic emotional entanglement with the fallen literati Zhou Bangyan and Song Huizong.
In the play, the main CP of Li Shishi is Zhou Bangyan, who is played by Liu Jiang, who was 44 years old at the time, standing with the 27-year-old Xie Ning like a father and daughter, and the CP is really a bit shaky. Zhang Zhaohui, the actor of Song Huizong, is relatively more dashing and handsome, but the screenwriter is quite cruel to him, and he is an outsider from beginning to end, and he has to match Master Li and others in the end.
Xie Ning, who was born from the champion of "Hong Kong Sister", is worthy of Master Li's beauty, and he smiles and smiles, and the cold and style coexist.
Li Shishi is Xie Ning's closed mountain work, after filming this drama, she did not renew her contract with TVB, married Cen Jianxun, a senior filmmaker who was married three times, and faded out of the entertainment circle after marriage.
In 2001, Xie Keke played Li Shishi in "One Foot in the River" starring Ren Quan and Li Zonghan, who is one of the most tragic characters in the whole drama. Even if she is as beautiful as her, she can only become a pawn for men to fight for power and profit, although she has the pity of the Duan King, but after Emperor Deng became Emperor Huizong of Song, his red face was so much, Li Shishi was just a singer who did not even have a name, and he was harassed by Gao Li from time to time, and the only male protagonist she loved, Liu Fusheng, could only hide in her heart forever.
This version of Li Shishi is not a prostitute, but a righteous woman who will make smoke, and later became famous with the help of the good sister Baozhu.
In the early stage, Master Li's style was relatively casual, the actor's appearance was not particularly outstanding in the entertainment circle, and he did not have the temperament of being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at all. But later, the part of playing the piano in front of Zhao Yao is still unique.
Interestingly, Xie Keke once starred in "Young Bao Qingtian 1", playing the girl Chang Yu, who Gongsun Ce had a crush on, in this drama she was a woman that Ren Quan could not get, and in "One Foot in the Jiangshan", Ren Quan became a man she could not get.
In 2004, You Xiaogang filmed a "Prodigal Son Yanqing" with Yan Qing and Li Shishi as the main line, Wu Fan played Yan Qing, and Yu Na played Li Shishi. Master Li's personality is not only a famous prostitute with extraordinary style, but also a rogue "Flying General" who makes corrupt officials and magnates feel frightened, with outstanding martial arts, a military uniform, and a heroic posture.
Yu Na is the tallest actress in the previous version to play Li Shishi, she is 178cm tall, 3cm taller than Yan Qing's actor Wu Fan.
However, even if her talent is the best in the history, it has not changed her turbulent life experience, and Yan Qing missed it due to misunderstanding, and was snatched by the emperor to become a concubine, and the child of Yan Qing in her belly was completely destroyed by other concubines. In the end, Yan Qing found her to relieve the misunderstanding, and she was not with him after all.
The ending is not bad, Zhao Tuo gave up the throne for her, and she returned to Zhao Tuo, who became the Emperor Taishang...
Yu Na's face looks very modern, but the costume is actually quite beautiful, and this version of Li Shishi's beauty, sassy, and style are all occupied.
In the decade from 2000 to 2010, Li Shishi was a frequent guest in various film and television dramas, writing various fanciful adaptations, making his image more and more confusing. "Dragon Tiger Mountain Inn", broadcast in 2009, tells the story of some well-known men in Shuihu, and Li Shishi is played by Xiao Liu Jia.
This drama is a light comedy written and directed by Ning Caishen after the success of "Wulin Wai Biao", but there is no splash after broadcasting.
Xiao Liu Jia's appearance is good, and playing a villain in "The Last Grid" in the same period has circled a lot of fans. But the Li Shishi she portrayed is not outstanding. After all, the story style is comedic, flat character personality, there are no highlights.
In the new version of "Water Margin" directed by Ju Jueliang in 2011, An Yixuan played Li Shishi, and Yan Yikuan played Yan Xiaoyi staged a sister-brother relationship with Yan Yikuan.
Yan Xiaoyi is still the Yan Xiaoyi who will seduce the sister, Li Shishi is no longer like a generation of famous prostitutes, giving people a feeling of deep resentment, the eyes are very domineering, and the shape is more inclined to the old and tacky of the old bustard.
An Yixuan's eyebrows are heroic, yan nong, three-dimensional features, and the costume is more tough; beauty is beautiful, but it always feels that such a qinglou woman, even the emperor is difficult to hold.
The ending of this version of Master Li is open-ended. After Yan Qing and Master Li visited the "Sister and Brother Hall", Song Jiang drank poisonous wine, and Song Huizong went to Master Li's residence to empty the building...
Last year's broadcast of "Breeze and Bright Moon Lady" once caused a hot discussion, not because of how good or bad it was, but because it was completed in 2007 and had a backlog of 13 years before it could be broadcast.
This drama tells the story of the Song Dynasty female lyricist Li Qingzhao (played by Han Zaifen), and Li Shishi, who is the "first lady of the Northern Song Dynasty", is also among them, played by Ma Su.
Not to mention, after watching more of the costume dramas that are now clear and watery, the old drama at the bottom of this pressure box will not only not make people feel that the costume is outdated, but the shape will make people shine, perhaps they have not seen this kind of pearl-covered shape for a long time!
Ma Su's appearance is very classical, and the costume can afford her nickname "Ma Pretty". The peak of her appearance should really shoot more costume dramas, and she has always exhausted her aura in some life dramas of chicken feathers in some places.
The most recent version of Li Shishi was played by Liu Yanxi in 2014's "Divine Doctor An Daoquan".
"Divine Doctor An Daoquan" tells the story of An Daoquan became a generation of divine doctors during the Northern Song Dynasty, Kasi is also quite powerful, starring Yu Shaoqun and Liang Jingjing, and supporting roles include Tang Zhenzong, Xu Shaoxiong, Zheng Zeshi and other Hong Kong celebrities.
And Liu Yanxi's version of Li Shishi, the person is very pleasing, in addition to being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he also has a chivalrous heart. But the actor's appearance supports this person with a bit of far-fetched.
The shape is colorful, like a peacock, flashing blind people's eyes. The actor is obviously only 28 years old, and he is as hard as 40+.
With the fluttering of the drama, this version of Master Li also has no sense of existence.
In addition to the above 10 actors who have played Li Shishi, Han Zaifen has also played this role in the Huangmei opera TV series "Li Shishi and Song Huizong", whether it is appearance or demeanor, it is impeccable.
Although there is not much ink about Li Shishi in the history of zhengzheng, and various wild histories have different accounts about her birth and death, it is certain that she was a talented, beautiful and backbone woman. At that time, she was the object of competition between various literati and scholars, princes and grandchildren, and powerful giants, and her influence was no less than that of the current first-line actresses. In film and television works, it is certainly not okay to highlight the low appearance of this image, and it is difficult to convince the public if the acting skills are poor, and even if the acting is tacky, it is not enough.
So the question is, how many editions have you seen? Which version is most recognized?
