I like the 97 version, but the 03 version is also good, in my opinion, if the full score is 100 points, if the 97 version is 90 points, the 03 version can also score about 83 points, then the reader will say, why do you say so, what is the basis? So I'll compare them one by one.
First of all, from a macro point of view, costume props actor special effects, in addition to the actor costumes, the 83 version can be called shoddy, plastic film hanging in front of the mountain as a waterfall, the number of group performances is too small, it is difficult to show the scene of thousands of troops, there are many deficiencies, but the martial arts action is very realistic at a glance, the special effects now seem to be outdated, especially compared to the 03 version of slow motion and hair dryer, or a lot better, especially the actors, the performance is perfect. Here's a comparison of the main casts of the 97 and 83 versions:
Starring Mr. Huang Rihua and Mr. Hu Jun of Qiao Feng, from the point of view of body temperament, these two people are not the most in line with the original Qiao Feng, the most in line with the original Qiao Feng, should be Mr. Liang Jiaren's version of Qiao Feng, regardless of the temperament and body are impeccable, but also Mr. Jin Yong old Man is very recognized, this is not controversial, but this does not affect Mr. Huang Rihua is the best Qiao Feng, clean and neat fighting action, rich body movements and facial expressions, regardless of the literary and martial arts are handy, many years of hero professional households, It is naturally not difficult to interpret Qiao Daxia, and what is valuable is that the emotional drama is also performed quite well, especially when killing Arjun and burying Arjun, that interpretation is really touching, otherwise it will not move the little Azi with a bad stomach, please compare it with the 03 version, and make a judgment. Although Mr. Hua Rihua does not know martial arts, but the martial arts drama is filmed more, the natural actions are in place, Hu Daxia's height is superior to Mr. Huang Rihua, the interpretation is not bad, but the performance method is slightly single, in general, slightly inferior.
The gap between Mr. Fan Shaohuang and Mr. Gao Hu, who starred in the virtual bamboo, is still more obvious, mainly because Mr. Fan Shaohuang was born in a star, can do martial arts, beautiful moves, and clean and sharp martial arts, these Mr. Gao Hu do not have, as for the appearance, it is also Mr. Fan Shaohuang who is more in line with the original work.
Mr. Chen Haomin and Mr. Lin Zhiying, who starred in Duan Yu, or Mr. Chen Haomin, who were slightly better than half a chip, were actually excellent, in my opinion, Mr. Chen Haomin's performance was more natural, and Lin Zhiying was a bit deliberate to perform, so it did not seem so natural.
Mr. Zhang Guoqiang and Mr. Xiu Qing, who starred in Murong Fu, played very well, the only regret is that Mr. Zhang Guoqiang looks a little older, and I don't know if it is the reason for clothing and makeup or something else.
The first heroine Wang Yuyan, I think Ms. Li Ruotong is better, everyone has no objection to it, Ms. Liu Yifei is very beautiful, but Zhao Ling'er is her peak work, playing Xiaolongnü, too young, it is really inappropriate, playing Wang Yuyan, can't say where it is bad, always feel a little awkward, may be my own prejudice. You can leave a message to talk about.
The second heroine Aju, to be honest, is equal, the 03 version of Ms. Liu Tao is very beautiful, plus a lot, compared to the 97 version of Ms. Liu Jinling is more beautiful, not that Ms. Liu Jinling is not pretty, may be makeup and styling dragged her legs.
As for the supporting roles, first of all, the 97 version, the most impressive to me is Mr. Li Guolin, the actor of Jiumo Zhi, and Mr. Chen Rongjun, the actor of Quan Guanqing, it is estimated that I don't need to say more, when it comes to Jiumo Zhi, the mind will appear wearing monk shoes, draped in sheets, politely: The little monk Dove Mo zhi first came to the noble treasure land, please pay more attention, rich to hold a money field, no money to hold a personal field, hey hey, naughty, it should be a wild speech before the war I see how many pounds you have, after the war is Your Excellency's martial arts not only won, but also has a broad mind, The poor monk finally had the privilege of seeing Qiao Daxia today. Murong Nan was vulnerable and had the same name as Your Excellency, which was really an insult to Your Excellency's name. The Shaolin Temple no longer has the talent of a great general, I think it is better to disband from now on, all the senior monks have defected to other monasteries, each running to the future, Shaolin's absolute learning, even to the hands of poor monks, in order to play to the fullest. What kind of hero conference is the martial arts conference that I did not participate in? There are few people in the world who can fight with poor monks. Mr. Li Guolin's role as Hatsuma Zhi is really a wonderful portrait, the language, expression, action eyes are textbook, Mr. Li is definitely an actor who can be called an artist. What about Mr. Chan Wing Chun? Bad guy professional household, Quan Guanqing, Chen Youyu, In the wind, Lauder, how, remember? It turned out to be him, yes, it was him, in fact, when he was young, he was still very handsome, and he also played some decent characters, how he later became a villain professional, I don't know, the bad guy he played, basically not the same, but people hate to itch their teeth, they are eager to go into the TV to beat him, but really dare not, look at you at a glance will make people chill, chills, just look at his expression and eyes, you know that he wants to amplify the bad things, simply to many children to leave childhood shadows. Of course, the supporting role can not miss The Lady Ma played by Ms. Sydney and the A Zi played by Ms. Liu Yucui, first of all, Mrs. Ma, the heart is higher than the sky, the life is thinner than paper, is a very vicious resentful woman, Ms. Sydney's emotional experience is more tortuous, interpreting Mrs. Ma, Li Mo is worried about the hand to catch, free play do not use too much force on it, both of them are very good, I was deeply impressed. There is also Zhong Ling, Ms. He Meidian's Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling Yuxiu, lively and lovely, beautiful and unworldly, innocent and messy, just like coming out of books. As for Mu Wanqing, Tianshan Tongmao, etc., I will no longer comment.
As for the 03 version, I will not say more, I only read it once, the impression is really not deep, and there is no courage to go back to see it again, so it is not that Hatsuma Zhiquan Crown Qingma Lady Zhong Ling their actors are not good, it is too little to comment, this is still left to everyone to comment.
