What is a classic? It is about twenty years of work, and it is still outdated to this day, and it can still chew out meaningful things.
In fact, the classic can make it a classic, you can properly remake the pie, so that each generation has a classic of their own, but while remaking the classic, please respect the classic, rather than making it up.
This reminds me of the new version of "Pink Girl" (also known as "The Ideal Life of Love") remade a while ago, although it gathers acting masters + young actors with good traffic beauty and strength, it still can't save the script from reality and the original.
And today to share with you, it is still a drama remade according to the classic IP - "The Legend of the New White Snake"!
The drama began broadcasting on October 25, 2021, only 4 days, and there is currently no rating on Douban.
To be honest, seeing 48 episodes, each episode of 45 minutes of super long drama length, has been very dissuaded.
The director does not have much support for works, this is the first one, and there are several that have not been broadcast since then.
The female protagonist Sun Xiaoxiao is not a professional actor, more identity is the host, has served as the host of Hunan Satellite TV, hosted "Entertainment Vanguard", "30 Years of Golden Melody Awards", "Fast Woman", "Fast Man" and other programs.
He has also participated in dramas such as "Just Let the Coffee Be a Little Sweet0" and "My Youth in Yan'an", but they are all supporting roles.
This time can be regarded as her first time playing a heroine, and she dares to challenge the role of Bai Suzhen.
Acting skills aside, in terms of styling, completely copied the "Three Lives III" drama version of the white and shallow shape.
The stylist should come out and be punished, not only copied the shape of the eight-character bangs, but even the super high hairline that made people's scalps hurt by the big power was also copied away~ ~ ~
Not only that, Bai Suzhen's pink clothes can also see the white and light shadow.
And the shape of the eight-character bangs, change a person, casually add a hair ornament, and you can change the skin in other roles.
Originally, I wanted to complain about the fact that Xiao Qing played by Wang Wei not only looked earthy, but also had the taste of a kiln sister, but now it seems that Xiao Qing's hairstyle is probably not perfunctory in the play.
Is it really good to copy such a blatant copy? Or is it the "Three Lives" of the Path of Obedience? Copy yourself? Not good ~~
In terms of male roles, Xu Xian is Lu Hong, who played the role of Liertai in the "New Zhu Gege" series, and the appearance of Xu Xian he played is not a big problem, but his acting skills need to be improved.
The audience feels that the relative acting skills are still ok is zhang Tianyang, the actor of the villain Fahai, although there are not many works, but it is quite good.
It's just that the Fahai he played was said to be too tender and too righteous, allowing him to be with Bai Suzhen.
It's just that the scars on the head do look like some drama, and I don't blame the audience for complaining about it
The cast is indeed not very strong, and there are many newcomers who create good works at a small cost.
It's just that as a classic costume mythological drama, it is good to take a snack on the shape, directly copied over and perfunctory, how can the audience buy it?
Not only is the shape perfunctory, the actor's acting skills are not satisfactory, as a mythological drama, the opening special effects are also five cents, which is similar to the version of more than ten or twenty years, and even less than Zhao Yazhi's version.
In terms of roles, the director also seems to be unable to distinguish who is the protagonist and who is a supporting role.
Some viewers said that from the third episode onwards, after Xu Xian was assigned to Suzhou, other supporting roles were various additional plays, such as the fox spirit, not only the acting skills were paralyzed, but the scenes were also outrageous, making people wonder whether they were brought into the group?
There is also a little more Fahai drama as a male partner, one person plays two roles, which is a test of acting skills, in fact, no matter which version, Xu Xian and Bai Su are the first male and female protagonists.
Xiao Qing and Fahai are the first female and male supporting actors, and there are many scenes, but it does not make sense to let some small roles steal the scene.
The more embarrassing thing is that the three protagonists, Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, have basically become tool people to promote the plot and play soy sauce.
Especially as the heroine, Bai Suzhen often travels on business, not to say, acting to the ninth episode, and Xu Xian's feelings are still only sympathy for the fake marriage, no love, patting and patting are a bit blasphemous original mythological stories.
There is not much to say in the plot, after all, the IP of "The Legend of the White Snake" is really a household name and is really a classic.
For some younger audiences, here is a brief mention of the general plot.
When the heroine Bai Suzhen was still a thousand-year-old white snake, she was injured and saved by Xu Xian's previous life, and later became a fairy, and under the initiation of Guanyin, she needed to go to the mortal world but had a dust edge.
Bai Suzhen had to go to the mortal world to cross the earth, and also happened to meet xu xian, a benefactor who had saved himself in a previous life, and now Xu Xian has been reincarnated many times.
After Bai Suzhen's various initiatives to stir and help, the two knew each other and fell in love, married and had children.
After marriage, the two opened a pharmacy, where pudu sentient beings were born.
Unfortunately, the monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple is bent on eradicating Bai Suzhen, a thousand-year-old white snake, and the drama is set that Fahai was used by evil thoughts in his previous life to beat up Mandarin Duck to break up Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.
The Qingbai Snake sisters join forces against Fahai, and Xu Xian also knows the true identity of his mother, and is used by Fahai to capture them and become bait to blackmail The Qingbai Snake.
In order to rescue Xianggong, the white snake did not hesitate to flood the Golden Mountain Temple, inadvertently killing many innocent people.
Fahai concluded that the White Snake's actions would be punished by the Heavenly Court, so he refined a purple gold bowl and took the White Snake under the Leifeng Pagoda.
Xu Xian also finally understood the good of the mother to herself, while raising children, while waiting outside the Leifeng Pagoda, in the original work, Xu Xian went out to guard the Leifeng Pagoda, Xu Shilin was raised by Xu Xian's brother-in-law.
The true feelings of Xu Xian and the white snake touched the heavenly court, the Leifeng Pagoda was torn down, the white snake was able to regain his freedom and reunite with his lover, and the evil monk Fahai was also removed, the perfect ending, scattering flowers ~~
Although the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" has been remade many times, and the protagonists have changed and changed, in my heart, I still only like Zhao Yazhi's version.
When I was a child, I always thought that Xu Xian was a boy, and when I grew up, I learned that the ye tong who played Xu Xian was a girl, which was somewhat difficult to accept, and such a ridiculous anti-string eventually became an insurmountable classic.
The story of White Snake and Xu Xian is indeed moving, but if it is not sincere and non-general strength, it is better not to remake it, otherwise it is disgusting not only to the audience, but also to destroy the classic ~ ~
