In 1994, directed by Li Zhaohua and Li Xuewen and starring Huang Haibing, Wang Jinghua, Yang Xiaohan and Cao Ying, "Book of Swords and Enmity" began to meet with audiences across the country, although this drama did not make much waves, but it opened a precedent for the adaptation of Jin Yong's works in the mainland. Since then, well-known directors such as Zhang Jizhong, Wang Xinmin, and Lai Shuiqing have joined them, and various Jin Yong works have also sprung up. Up to now, there have been 10 or 20 film and television works adapted from Jin Yong novels in the mainland, but the quality is uneven, so what are the five highest-rated Jin Yong dramas in the mainland today?
V. 2017 Edition of "The Legend of the Archery Hero"
Douban score: 8.0
Personal Review: The 2017 edition of "The Legend of the Archery Hero" is directed by Jiang Jiajun and starring Yang Xuwen, Li Yitong, Chen Xingxu, Meng Ziyi and so on.
In the past decade, all kinds of Jin Yong dramas in the mainland can be described as endless, but the quality is mostly unsatisfactory, relatively speaking, this "Shooting Eagle" starring a new person is more prominent and shining.
This version of "Shooting Eagle" generally respects the original work, and its biggest highlight is Huang Rong, played by newcomer Li Yitong, whose appearance style of white clothes and gold belts has made countless audiences shine. In addition, the joining of actors such as Miao Qiaowei, Lu Liangwei, Kuroko, and Wang Kuirong has also added a lot to the drama. Of course, this version of "Shooting Eagle" is not without shortcomings, some newcomers' childish acting skills and ubiquitous slow motion have been criticized by the audience, but the flaws are not hidden, this version of "Shooting Eagle" can still be regarded as a rare Jin Yong drama masterpiece in recent years.
IV. 2004 Edition of "The Trick of Connecting the City"
Douban score: 8.3
Personal comment: In fact, in the heart of the editor, this "Liancheng Trick" is the first Jin Yong drama in the mainland in my heart, and even the series itself has surpassed the original Jin Yong. However, the popularity of "Lian Cheng Tiao" is so low that many people often ignore this work when discussing Jin Yong's work.
Directed by Wang Xinmin and co-starring Wu Fan, He Meidian, Shu Chang, Six Little Children, Du Zhiguo, etc., the drama takes Di Yun's bumpy life experience as the main line, and then shows the audience a world of deceit.
Compared with Zhang Jizhong's Jin Yong drama, Wang Xinmin's Jin Yong drama martial arts drama is more smooth and ethereal, and it is rare to see the embarrassing scene of the characters fixed in mid-air against the waves, nor will they see the scene of the blower abusing to the point. Under the wonderful interpretation of Wu Yue, Shu Chang, He Meidian, Six Little Children, Du Zhiguo and others, Di Yun, Shui Sheng, Qi Fang, Hua Tiegan, Wan Zhenshan and other characters came to life as in the book, each one came to life and jumped to the action.
III. 2001 Edition of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu"
Personal brief comment: Xiaobian also remembers that when I was wandering around douban a few years ago, the rating of this "Smiling Proud of the River" seems to be only five points and a few points, and in just a few years, it actually jumped to 8.3 of the ranks of masterpieces, which is really a bit surprising.
This version of "Smiling Proud of the River" is produced by Zhang Jizhong, directed by Huang Jianzhong and Yuan Bin, and co-starring Li Yapeng, Xu Qing, Miao Yiyi, Wei Zi, Li Xie and so on. 20 years ago, when the audience who was accustomed to watching the Hong Kong version of Jin Yong drama saw this work, it could be described as a scolding. But with the passage of time, people gradually realized that this is a masterpiece that has been misunderstood for too many years, although it does not have the elegance of the Hong Kong version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", but it has more stability that the Hong Kong version does not have, not to mention the picturesque scenery, let alone the Hong Kong version of the "small family spirit" can be compared.
In addition, Ren Yingying, played by Xu Qing, was praised by Mr. Jin Yong as "this is the Ren Yingying in his heart", and the outstanding performances of old drama bones such as Weizi and Mao Weitao also added a lot to this drama.
II. 2003 Edition of "Tianlong Eight Parts"
Douban score: 8.4
Personal commentary: "Tianlong Eight Parts" and "Smiling Proud Of Jianghu" should be the two most successful Jin Yong works in Zhang Ji, which may be the reason for the higher popularity of the 03 version of "Tianlong Eight Parts", and its rating is temporarily 0.1 points more than that of "Laughing Proud Of Jianghu".
This version of "Tianlong Babu" gives me the biggest feeling is "majestic", especially Xiao Feng, played by Hu Jun, is simply carved out of the template in the book, and the body exudes a strong hormonal atmosphere. Other characters, such as Lin Zhiying's Duan Yu, Liu Yifei's Wang Yuyan, Jiang Xin's Mu Wanqing, etc., have also received many praise from the audience.
Especially with the criticism of the audience after the broadcast of the 2021 version of "Tianlong Eight Parts", the audience has realized how rare the 2003 version of "Tianlong Eight Parts" is.
I. 2003 Edition of "The Tale of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens"
Douban score: 8.4 (the rating is the same as the 03 version of "Tianlong Babu", and the number of comments is more "Yitian")
Personal brief comment: The 03 version of "Leaning Heaven" can be ranked first, which can be said to be both unexpected and unexpected.
The reason why I said that I was surprised was because this version of "Leaning heaven" is basically an idol work, and the difference with the original work is relatively large, and the play is not wonderful. And I said that in my expectation, it is because there are too many handsome men and women in this work, Su Youpeng, Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan, Chen Zihan, Guo Feili, Chen Xiuli, no matter which one is brought out, it is the existence of the blind eye, in this era of "appearance is justice", it is not surprising that the 03 version of "Leaning Heaven" can get such a high score.
In addition, this "Leaning Heaven" is indeed remarkable, in addition to the high-value starring lineup, the joining of many old drama bones and the smooth plot are the advantages of the play. Yes, this drama is a bit of an inflated rating in my opinion, but it is not unacceptable.
