The characters in Jin Yong's novels have always been talked about by the audience, and some supporting roles are also particularly brilliant, such as Yang Xiao in "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens".
He was the supreme master of the Ming Sect, and at the age of about twenty he was already a bright left envoy, talented and talented.
Jin Yong described Yang Xiao this way in the original work.
"Handsome and handsome, although a little older, he is still a personable and beautiful man."
It can be said that he is not stingy with ink and ink, and such an older male protagonist is "afraid that it is more likely to make women fall for it."
I have always felt that Yang Xiaoshuai in the 94 version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" has been the protagonist, personable, and his temperament is also very prominent, it turns out that this is all arranged by Jin Yong.
In film and television dramas, there are many actors who have starred in Yang Xiao, and it can be said that as long as there is an adaptation of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", there will be such a character.
But most of them are "imitating".
As early as 1986, Du Qifeng and Chen Musheng directed a film "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", starring Liang Chaowei, Ren Dahua, Deng Cuiwen and others.
Li Hanzhi plays the mercurial Yang Xiao, who was just 35 years old when he starred in this drama, which is more consistent with the characters in the original work.
However, because this version is too long-term, coupled with the shooting level at that time, the makeup level is not very mature, this version of Yang Xiao is not known to many viewers.
In the 2001 version, Wireless filmed a "Dragon Slaughter in the Heavens", starring Wu Qihua, Li Zi, She Shiman and others, and Yang Xiao was played by Zhang Zhaohui.
He is a member of the wireless artist training class, and often plays small characters at the beginning of his debut, and his acting skills are still good.
When he played this role, Zhang Zhaohui was 38 years old, and he starred in this role as untamed and martial arts superbly.
For Hong Kong stars, it still has its own taste.
In the face of such a mature and attractive man, Ji Xiaofu's heart is also logical.
When it comes to Su Youpeng's version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", then Yang Xiao is too famous, because it is Zhang Tielin, who starred in him, "Emperor Amma".
But this role did not play well, and it was criticized for a kiss scene with Tao Hong.
For Zhang Tielin, the domineering, tall and mighty image of Emperor Ama played by him is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but playing the dashing Yang Xiao is really a bit difficult for Zhang Tielin.
The "unlikeness" of image, age, body shape and other aspects has also made this version of Yang Xiao's casting a failure.
The 2009 version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" is less well-known, and the rating of this TV series is not very good, with less than 6 ratings on Douban.
The overall quality of the play affects the audience's impression of the actors.
The one who starred in this version of Yang Xiao was Wu Xiaodong.
Wu Xiaodong was born in 61 years, and when he starred in this drama, he was almost 50 years old, and if nothing else, the age alone made the audience very dramatic.
Many people may think he is very familiar.
Yes, he is the actor who played Jia Yun in the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Although he has a humble and elegant personality and a deep foundation in acting, Yang Xiao, who starred in 35 years old, is still out of place.
The new version of the 2019 edition is the lower-rated version among many editions.
Jin Yong's novels have to be remade every year, but the quality of remakes in recent years is not high.
Yang Xiao, played by Lin Yushen, is dressed in white and is quite handsome.
Strong in martial arts, mature and steady.
Overall, the protagonist of this version has been criticized, but Yang Xiao's casting is still a success.
Having said so much about Yang Xiao, now let's talk about the most classic version of Yang Xiao.
That is Yang Xiao, played by Sun Xing in the 94 version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon".
The 1990s was the most successful year for the remake of Jin Yong's novels, and it occupied almost half of the costume drama market.
Zhang Wuji, Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min and others all played into the wood three points, while Yang Xiao, played by Sun Xing, was the most successful version.
Handsome, calm and domineering, it is very attractive, attracting countless female audiences, and his popularity even exceeds Zhang Wujie.
Even Mr. Jin Yong said, "Sun Xing's version of Yang Xiao is unprecedented, and when he sees Yang Xiao mistakenly for life." There was no Yang Xiao after Sun Xing. ”
Holding a wine gourd to run amok, really fascinated a generation.
Even now after 27 years, his Yang Xiao is still the most classic.
