In "Tianlong Babu", there is a character whose status is respected, and the martial arts cultivation is not low, but it is often ignored by the audience, that is, the brother of Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan, the Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming. In the original work, through the perspective of Mu Wanqing, the characteristics of Duan Zhengming were explained to the audience: "Long beard and yellow robe, clean and handsome appearance". Although this is a relatively broad description, there is not much that duan Zhengming can do in the casting of Duan Zhengming in the 6th edition of the TV series "Tianlong Babu".
The Baoding Emperor in the 82nd edition of the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon is Zhang Yingcai, born in 1934, and this emperor has indeed made it look amiable and not greasy in appearance. Zhang Yingcai began filming in 1953, and until the early 1910s, there were still works that came out, and his acting life spanned nearly 60 years. In the 1980s and 1990s, many of the roles he played in TVB were small but not light, such as Ma Yu of the 83 shooting eagle, the empty smell of the 86 leaning sky, the dragon island lord of the 89 heroes, wang Chongyang of the 94 shooting eagle, and the mirror master of the 97 version of "Miao Cuihua".
In the "Tianlong Babu" novel, along with the Baoding Emperor, his empress also appears. The queen has no specific depictions in appearance and rarely appears. The 82nd version of Empress Dali is played by Li Xiangqin (formerly known as Li Ruiqin), born in 32 years, she died in the beginning of 21 years, and she has been filming for nearly 60 years in her life.
The Huang Feihong series of movies in the 1950s was the beginning of Li Xiangqin's acting career, and she was present in the 1980s such as "The Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" (Extinction Master Tai), "Eight Stars annunciation", "Nine Days of Phoenix Dance", and even "Family Happy Affair 2009", "Flower Field Happy Event 2010", "The Strongest Happy Event" and so on around 10 years ago.
The 90 version of Duan Zhengming's scene is more brief, there is no scene of Mu Wanqing entering the palace to see him, his first appearance is when Duan Yu's body is really angry, Duan Zhengchun asked him for help. If it weren't for Duan Zhengchun's imperial brother, it would most likely have been thought that he was playing a Langzhong. And his costume is also very perfunctory, the sense of age looks smaller, and Duan Zhengchun stands together, 80% of the audience will mistakenly think that Duan Zhengchun wearing a yellow robe is him. However, the appearance of Qingjun is still in line. This version of the Queen did not appear.
The 97 version of Duan Zhengming is played by jiang han, a famous movie star from Liaoning, who was born in 39 years and was a leading student of the film company in his early years. When he entered TVB in 1992, he was over 50 years old and played most of the father roles. Although duan Zhengming, who he plays, looks a little older, his spirit and personality shaping are also impeccable, and he has the style of a wise monarch. Jiang Han died at the end of 17 years at the age of 78.
This version of the Dali Empress is played by Wen Shuangyan, although the styling is too homely and less royal, but its performance is also relatively in place. In the original work, the empress basically only has the scene where Mu Wanqing and Yue Laosan came one after another, and TVB added the line that the queen said peace for Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng in this scene, which although it reflected the role attributes of the queen as a sister-in-law, but also aggravated the short taste of the parents in this version.
The 03 version of Duan Zhengming is played by Lu Shigang, born in 58, and this version of Empress Dali also did not appear. In the novel, Duan Zhengming is known as the first master of the Dali Duan family, and his skill is above Duan Zhengchun, but in fact it is slightly lower than Duan Yanqing. Lü Shigang's Duan Zhengming had more of the arrogance of a martial arts practitioner and the majesty of an emperor, but his attributes of Qing Jun and amiability were relatively weak. He has cooperated with Zhang Jizhong many times, but each time the role is not much.
The 13th edition of The Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming is played by Guo Kaimin, who was also born in 1958. In the late 1970s, Guo Kaimin became a household name actor with "Lushan Love", and many years later, the handsome and elegant on his body was still there, and it was also appropriate to play Duan Zhengming. Based on Guo Kaimin's position in the industry, this version of Duan Zhengming's position is not low, and it is next to Duan Zhengchun in the cast list, ranking among the leading actors.
However, Duan Zhengming's wife was not treated so well because she was not found in the cast list. Compared with the two versions of the previous TVB Dali Queen, this version is relatively young and beautiful. Duan Zhengming is not as affectionate as Duan Zhengchun, but the empress's appearance will naturally not be bad. However, this version of the queen, as written in the original book, is just a bottle of soy sauce.
In the 21st version (new version) of "Tianlong Babu", Duan Zhengming is played by Shen Xiaohai, a post-70s actor, and in this version, his position is higher than that of Qiu Xinzhi, who plays Duan Zhengchun. Shen Xiaohai's heroic spirit on his body was very strong, playing the Baoding Emperor was more than domineering, as for his appearance, he was obviously very consistent with his youth. This version of Duan Zhengming's scene is also filmed in more detail. The new version of the Baoding Emperor Empress is played by the post-80s actress Song Ziqiao, who also looks very young.
In fact, from the casting of different versions of Duan Zhengming and the empress, it can be seen that the creative team's attitude in the casting of supporting roles is very rigorous and serious, and some are casually looking for an actor to fool around. Good works can be done well in all aspects, and I don't know which Baoding Emperor best meets your expectations.
