The four masterpieces of the CCTV version are all classics and fine works, and the classics are absolutely impossible to surpass.
The "Water Margin" TV series mainland has made a total of three versions.
The first version: 1980-87 Shandong version of "Water Margin Character History", directed by Liu Ziyun.
This version of the Water Margin character selection of both the shape and god, Zhu Yanping's Wu Song, the weightlifter Yu Shoujin's Lu Zhishen, the military actor Ding Rujun's Lin Chong, etc. are not worse than the 98 version, and the costume style designed by Shi Yanqin is also very ancient; the content is also closer to the original work. Because it was shot in the 1980s, the picture quality is not particularly clear. The quality of the clothing is also not particularly good.
Because feudal superstitions and violent content are not allowed, this version of Water Margin is very simple. But there should be something in the original book. The first episode is a boxing town of Kansai by Ruti, and the last episode is a hero row. However, in the 40 episodes, there are many plots that are not in the 98 and 11 versions, such as Wusong Nocturnal Centipede Ridge.
Due to the long shooting cycle of this drama, many actors have been replaced.
Lin Chong's actor was replaced by Ding Rujun of the Haizheng Cultural and Industrial Troupe to Guan Dewang of the Shandong Repertory Theatre. The latter's Lin Chong can be said to be a mess.
Wu Yong's actor was changed from Ji Chunhua to Meng Xianli and then to Wang Zhongxin. I feel that Ji Chunhua and Wang Zhongxin's Wu Yong are very good. The one in the middle is hard to say.
However, due to the incomplete plot of this version of "Water Margin" and the simple conditions, the Douban score is only 8.2 points.
The picture shows Lu Zhishen, played by national weightlifting champion Yu Shoujin (true color starring x1)
The picture shows Wu Song, played by Mr. Zhu Yanping
The picture shows Lin Chong, played by Ding Rujun, an actor of the Haizheng Cultural and Labor Troupe (who starred in x2)
Ding Rujun himself was a soldier, his temperament was very in line with Lin Chong, and he was also dressed in white
The picture shows Song Jiang, played by Bao (Cao) Guo (Cao) An, don't think that Cao Thief doesn't know you when he changes his vice-line!
(Bao Guoan completely opened up and flew away after 2000, and acted in many bad films, such as Zhu Yuanzhang in "The Great Tomorrow Son" who smeared and ugly Di Zong, and Li Yuan in "Sui and Tang Heroes")
There are also actors in 82 Water Margin who do not conform to the original work, such as Deng Xiaoguang's Hua Rong. Deng Xiaoguang looks five years old and three thick, and between his hands and feet are all manic attacks of blowing beards and glaring eyes, which is far from the beautiful and exquisite male Hua Rong in the original work. Although Hua Rong is a military general, his name is very feminine, his appearance is also very beautiful, and his dress is particularly elegant and exquisite, which can be said to be a great Song Dynasty man.
There is also Liu Gao's wife, the actor's appearance and figure are old women who have given birth to several children.
However, in addition to Liu Gao's wife, there are also many beautiful women in the 82 version of Water Margin.
The picture below is Yan Boxi, played by Wei Huili, which feels more beautiful than the 98 version
Xing Hong, the actor of Lin Chong's wife Zhang Yingying, is also a big beauty
Although time has passed for a long time, the 82 version of Water Margin is also particularly classic!
The 98 version of the Water Margin naturally needless to say, the classic degree can be said to be far beyond the 82 version, as for the 11 version, it can be said that every minute is slagged by the second.
The martial arts of the 82nd version of Water Margin are very poor and rough; the soundtrack is not very characteristic, which also has to be admitted.
As a result, the 98th edition of "Water Margin" absorbed this feature and made great efforts in the soundtrack and martial arts. Music is the masterpiece of the famous composer Mr. Zhao Jiping, and the themes of "Good Han Song" and "Water Margin" are meticulously linked, and they still echo loudly to this day.
Song Jiang, the teacher of Li Xuejian, performed the contradictory combination of only promises, low eyesight, great talent and arrogance.
Song Jiang was short in stature and his appearance was not proud, but he was sloppy in wealth and righteousness, and he was proud of people. But in his bones, he is still a capitulationist, and of course, he also has a split personality of only promises and prudence. This point was expressed particularly well by teacher Li Xuejian. Li Xue's fitness is 172 centimeters high, and it is indeed more appropriate to play Song Jiang. (The other two Song Jiang actors Bao Guoan 176 and Zhang Hanyu 178; especially Zhang Hanyu, simply too tall)
Zang Jinsheng's Lu Zhishen is also very classic, completely textbook acting! Yu Shoujin is not particularly skilled in acting because he is an athlete; however, Zang Jinsheng is a professional actor, in order to play Lu Zhishen, he trains his muscles every day, eating more than twenty eggs and a large bag of yeast flakes in the morning to gain weight.
This is the flower monk Lu Zhishen who is not angry with himself
Lu Zhishen is completely human as his name suggests, reckless accounting for 60%, wisdom and depth accounting for 20% each. He is a man of wisdom in recklessness, and in wisdom reveals a deep hidden connotation.
Lu Zhishen of the 11th version of Jinsong feels that it is not as good as Yu Shoujin, although his appearance is the most handsome of the three versions of Lu Zhishen, but the performance in the play is completely a silly black boss.
Ding Haifeng's Wu Song is faithful to the original work, but it is also unique.
In fact, Zhu Yanping's Wu Song was completely zhuyu in front, and Ding Haifeng's Wu Song also encountered a lot of boos at the beginning. He is not strong enough, and his skeleton is not large, and Zhu Yanping's Wu Song is obviously more in line with the description of the "Tiger Face Walker" in the original book. But he was too rough-looking, and not handsome, not charming; a generous face, thick eyebrows, single eyelids; his kind of looks, if I were Pan Jinlian, I wouldn't have liked him.
(The picture above is Wu Song played by Zhu Yanping, and the picture below is Wu Song played by Ding Haifeng.) If you were Pan Jinlian, who would you choose? ）
@Pan Jinlian @Pan Jinlian @Pan Jinlian @Pan Jinlian
Ding Haifeng's Wu Song is handsome in appearance and his age is also in line with the original work, with the courage of Wu Song's twenty-two-year-old boy Lang who is not deeply involved in the world in the original work and the courage of the bloody Fang Gang. It can be said that it is as quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit. Like a ray of sunlight absorbed into the depths of the forest, it is bright and people can't open their eyes, but with a little mist. In the light, there was a faint gloom, and a hint of reticence. His Wu Song did not need any words, only a momentary transformation.
Wu Song killed Pan Jinlian angrily, and the change in his eyes was very obvious, unlike Zhu Yanping, who had always had that look.
Xiu Qing's Hua Rong, the great Song Chao male who came from the original work.
Hua Rong's name is very feminine and very fat. And Hua Rong himself is a warrior, and at the same time a beautiful and exquisite Great Song Chao man. Hua Rong, played by Deng Xiaoguang in the 82nd edition, is a grumpy warrior with ADHD, and Hua Rong, played by Zhang Di in the 11th edition, is a white-faced student with cockfighting eyes; it does not capture the essence of the original work at all. And XiuQing's Hua Rong combines elegance with handsomeness, and force with beauty seamlessly. Not overbearing, nor weak and incompetent.
Lin Chong, the teacher of Zhou Yemang, although not like the "leopard head ring eyes Xiao Zhang Fei" described in the original work, but surpassed the original work, and played the self control of Lin Chong in the original book. In fact, Lin Chong in the original work is a contradiction: he looks like Zhang Fei but has a cowardly personality and is obedient.
Zhou Yemang's Lin Jiaotou surpassed the original work, and his personality was not as split as in the original work, becoming polite and docile; surpassing the original work; naturally, he also circled a lot of fans.
Wei Zongwan's tall man was full of ugly faces of villains. The city atmosphere of that body cannot be imitated by others.
Wei Zongwan himself is also an actor in the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe, and the Gao Li he plays, as well as Chung Wan's revenge in "Tianlong Babu", are all true colors, of course, it is a classic that no one has surpassed.
By the way, the young Gao Li actor is called Xiu Ge, and He and Hua Rong's actor Xiu Qing are brothers.
The two brothers looked like each other, and they thought they were one person without careful discernment.
Xiu Ge and Xiu Qing brothers have cooperated in many film and television works, in addition to "Water Margin", there are also "Qu Yuan", "Heaven and Earth People's Heart", "Mufu Fengyun", "Tianlong Eight Parts", "Legend of the Archery Hero", "Divine Eagle Hero", "Tuina", "Hero Without Tears", etc.; all of which are familiar works.
The 98 version of Water Margin is a film with beautiful women like clouds.
Sun Erniang, played by Liang Li, has a beautiful posture and a plump body.
The third lady played by Da Zheng Shuang is heroic and cool, and the person is as his name suggests.
Song Jiang's outer chamber Yan Po Xie. Mutton fat white jade skin color and dimples
This is the wife of Hua Rong's boss Liu Gao, and the actor's name is Cui Honghong
This is Yang Xiong's wife Pan Qiaoyun, and the actor's name is Niu Li.
There is also Xiu Wai Hui, the model woman of the 21st century Pan Jinlian
Lin Niangzi Zhang Yingying plays Wang Jinghua.
This is a loving couple, respecting each other as guests
(Separate picture not found, found a CP)
In the past, they were all natural beauties! The 11th edition of Water Margin has a clean face and a big mother face, and I can't bear to look at it directly
Cursed Pan Qiaoyun (Part 1)
Mrs. Lin played by Aunt Yuen Wing Yee (Part 2)
and Pan Jinlian/Yan PoXi
And Liu Gao's wife
(I can't tell who's who!) ）
In contrast, the 2011 version of Water Margin is not so lucky. The only bright spot may be Li Zonghan's Wu Yong and Huang Haibing's Chai Jin. Who called the 98 version of the two so obscene and ugly, full of flesh? (Wu Yong and Chai Jin are of course also one of the few failures of the 98 version of Water Margin)
Let's talk about the plot.
The 98 version of the Water Margin is a good choice, and the change is reasonable; it can be said that it is taking its essence and removing its dross. Many unimportant side lines and characters were not filmed, which may also be a pity.
The 11th version of Water Margin is completely a pot of chaotic stew, the plot is seriously watered, and many of the night plays in the original work are changed to daytime (such as Wusong Night Centipede Ridge, Jingyang Gang Fighting Tiger, Three Dozen Zhujiazhuang, etc.). And the 98 version of the two episodes of the three dozen Zhujiazhuang, in the 11 version is hard to be compressed into an episode, although 108 will be filmed, but in addition to Chai Jin and Wu Yong is the highlight, Song Jiang is useless, basically are passers-by face, sometimes ugly, occasionally non-mainstream.
This is tall and handsome in time rain Song Gongming
This is the Caribbean Takematsu played by the 1994 Drama Champion
This is a bitter vengeful Muslim. Rush
Sure enough, there is no harm without contrast!
Although "New Water Margin" has the highest reputation among the four famous works in the remake version, there is still a very big gap with the 98 version of the eternal classic and the 82 version of the original intention.
