For ancient puppet dramas, casting is crucial.
If it weren't, there wouldn't be so many people complaining about Jin Han in "Jun Jiu Ling".
Like Yang Mi's "Fu Shao", a group of audiences were dissuaded by Ruan Jingtian.
Romantic romance, life and death, the plot of idol dramas naturally needs the collocation of men and women, that is, to complete the visual "eye-raising" first.
And some people can make up for the lack of acting skills, such as Zhao Youting and Zhang Zhen, but this is a minority after all.
Bad dramas do not choose good actors, and some good quality dramas, even if a role is chosen wrong, are somewhat uncomfortable.
One
One of the most, is the 2006 CCTV projection of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", the plot is magically changed, and the story written by Gu Long is very different, the screenwriter is Yu Zheng, he changed the official Su Rongrong to Lin Lang.
However, from the perspective of plot completion, this version is fast-paced, there are many beauties, and it can be sealed in terms of appearance.
Hu Jing's version of Su Rongrong is comfortable and attractive, and Chuchu is moving.
Sun Feifei, who is still at the peak of her appearance, is a standard classical beauty, a red dress, and she is very stunning.
"Little Aunt" Deng Jiajia, Leng Yan Demon Ye.
"Huang'er" Xiao Wang Jing plays Nangong Yan, beautiful enough, different from the performance in "Seven Fairies of Happy Heaven and Earth".
The fierce and beautiful horn Liu Wumei is played by Mu Tingting.
In front of so many beauties, Qiu Porcelain Xuan is still the focus of the character, domineering, crazy, close to the shape, very creative.
Even the cameo Xiao Qiang and Xiu Qing are famous "exquisite hanging" actors.
This small supporting role, one is Liu Jia, and the other is He Yanni, the "Holy Gu" in "Immortal Sword III".
Male number two no flower, played by Shandong Han Cui Peng, his facial features are three-dimensional, shaved head is the imaginary world-class demon monk.
However, the male protagonist Chu Liuxiang is played by Zhu Xiaotian, his body shape is not suitable for ancient costumes, and his temperament and manners do not have a beautiful male atmosphere.
Even Ju Jueliang, one of the directors, complained: "I really can't shoot him well, not every angle."
Later, Ju Jueliang quit filming overnight, and the crew invited another director to make up for the loss.
Two
In recent years, there is a drama whose ratings have been rising, it is "Huaxu's Absolute Love City", which was originally scored low because of casting problems.
The male protagonist Zheng Jiaying is too old to play Shizi Suyu, and is in the same frame as his father Qiao Zhenyu, and he is even more beaten by strength.
However, in addition to him, the casting and story of the three units are of high quality.
In the first chapter, Song Ning, Jiang Xin and Yuan Hong cooperate to stage a drama of sadistic love, and the story of the female general and the general Shen An, from the beginning to the end.
In the Thirteenth chapter, there are Bao Jianfeng and Guo Zhenni, and the woman alone performs the bright and cold Jinque and Yingge, crying drama is moving, and as soon as she opens her mouth, she can provoke the audience to cry.
In the third chapter, Qiao Zhenyu and Gan Tingting formed Yan Ba CP, and Xin Zhilei also joined in, and her beauty was worth a full score.
The unit is better than the main line, if you want to remake, you must not surpass Jiang Xin and others, but unfortunately, the fly in the ointment is that the male and female protagonists are not the characters in the book at all.
Three
"Condor Heroes" has been remade a lot of times, and the mainland version has not yet surpassed the Gu Tianle version.
Originally the 06 version was a big production of that era, the crew filmed in Jiuzhaigou, the fairy sister Liu Yifei contributed the most beautiful shape since the art, unfortunately because the male protagonist was improperly selected, it has been forgotten.
Although Huang Xiaoming is handsome, he is not Yang Guo, and he does not have the temperament of "one sight mistake for life", Jin Yong commented: "A very pompous young man".
However, leaving him aside, Yang Mi, Chen Zihan, Yang Rui, Zhao Hongfei, Fu Miao and others are very suitable for the role.
Xiaodong evil aura, Gongsun Green Calyx is tender like water, and has the appearance of not losing the little dragon girl.
Yelü Gongzi is more eye-catching than Yang Guo, with a perfect figure and drama.
Guo Fuming, played by Chen Zihan, is delicate and delicate, and Jin Yong said: "You play her, but you are better than her."
Liu Yifei, who was spat out like a little dragon girl, was dressed in white and fluttering, as if the sky had come up,
From the soundtrack to the lighting, the set, this version of the hanging a lot of costume dramas, if you replace Huang Xiaoming, you will certainly not be repeatedly criticized, and the future remake, may not find such a lineup.
Four
It is said that the three views follow the five senses, and when the election angle is wrong, the audience's vision also changes.
Liang Shanbo in "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" has all the good qualities, but the appearance is far inferior to Ma Wencai's actor Chen Guanlin, plus the latter's acting skills are too good, affectionate, paranoid feelings in place, so the audience has one side.
If you can have a more gentle and more imaginary Liang Shanbo, I think everyone will not "choose the second man".
Like the above three dramas, in addition to the male protagonist, other roles in this drama are perfect, and Dong Jie, who looks like a small white flower, plays Zhu Yingtai.
Even the little girl is played by Xie Yuanzhen, who is from Kunqu Opera, and the most handsome Zhu Di Wan Hongjie is the handsome Zhu family starling.
Director Xia in "Hidden and Great" is young and immature here.
Five
The last one is "Marrying the Wrong Flower Car to the Lang", which is more controversial, because in the hearts of many people, this is a casting, set, and perfect drama.
Yang Shuyun, the makeup artist of the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber", personally designed the step shake, hairpin flowers, and costumes, and the director Zhang Zien was responsible for the old movie "Silk Road Flower Rain", in order to shoot a TV series, directly went to Yangzhou Garden to shoot.
The two leading actors, Xiao Li Lin and Huang Yi, were quiet and moving, and there were only a few episodes of trickles that were beautiful and moving, and Sha Yi and Nie Yuan were still full of collagen on their faces at that time.
But I have to say that the heat between the general and Du Bingyan has always been very low, far inferior to the pair of Li Yuhu and Qi Sangongzi.
Shi Xiaohong's general appearance is general, and Du Bingyan's CP sense soso, and even some people feedback: "Not worthy of Miss Du."
The other adjectives in the book, Shi Xiaohong are all in line, such as big and majestic, majestic, but handsome, which is a lot worse.
epilogue
At a glance, the TV series with the ultimate perfection in casting seems to have none, even the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has flaws, but the male lead actor must at least conform to the imagination and cannot be completely stripped of its luster by the supporting role.
