After Pan Yueming's version of "Yunnan Worm Valley" was broadcast, word of mouth was mixed.
Some viewers believe that the drama continues the quality of the previous "Longling Labyrinth" and is still wonderful; some viewers feel that the new version of "Yunnan Bug Valley" has gradually deviated from the direction because of the change of screenwriters; more viewers have picked up the bugs in the play with a magnifying glass.
However, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts, and a thousand viewers have a thousand "Iron Triangles" in their hearts.
Today, Tomato Jun will take stock of one of the iron triangles in the film and television works of "Ghost Blowing Lights" - Shirley Yang.
According to word of mouth, Tomato Jun selected four "Yang Staff Officers" in four film and television works, which one is more suitable for the original work, let's talk slowly.
In fact, in the original work of "Ghost Blowing Lights", there are very few descriptions of the appearance of the characters.
The depiction of Shirley Yang is more focused on temperament, and Tianxia Baxiang does not spend too much ink on her appearance.
The most impressive passage of Tomato Jun is when he writes about the exquisite queen: "Black hair is like clouds, beautiful eyebrows, beautiful face, closed eyes, and frighteningly white."
When Hu Bayi saw the Jingjie Queen in the hallucination, he lamented that the Jingjie Queen and Shriley Yang looked exactly the same, that is to say, this description was actually a rare depiction of Shirley Yang's appearance in the whole "Ghost Blowing Lights".
Following this passage, perhaps we can see some clues when evaluating the performances of these four heroines.
I. Chen Qiaoen's "The Essence of ghost blowing lights in the ancient city", Douban 7.9 points
In 2016, Jin Dong's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" is a film and television adaptation that is quite popular with fans of the original work.
In particular, Hu Bayi, played by Jin Dong, has the temperament of Hu Bayi, a veteran under the tianxia bashing.
Although there is not much description of Hu Bayi's appearance, the more handsome and temperamental everyone must love it.
This version of Shriley Yang is played by Jon Chan.
To tell the truth, just from the appearance, Chen Qiaoen is the more ideal Shriley Yang. Because almost everything about her is like the one described in the original novel.
"Black hair like clouds, beautiful eyebrows, beautiful face", is it all right, and a pair of big eyes.
Even the exquisite queen in the film corresponds perfectly to the paragraph in the book, which is very similar to Chen Qiaoen.
However, Chen Qiaoen's version of Shriley Yang is limited to appearance.
For the whole character, the appearance is actually not so important, the most important thing is the temperament. But Jon Chan herself may not be suitable for this type of female role, and there are shortcomings in her eyes.
The first time you see a fire ladybug, it's hard to appreciate what her eyes are saying, fear? astonished? Or shy?
Looking at the fire ladybug, that is, staring at it.
Entering the desert and playing with Hu Bayi, it felt like a confused face.
If there is a close-up, it is even more crotch-pulling.
From 8 words to describe Chen Qiaoen's Shriley Yang: big eyes and no concentration, lack of acting skills.
This is the complete opposite of Shriley Yang's temperament, turning this independent "Yang staff officer" into a vase role.
If it were not for Chen Qiaoen's portrayal of the character Tai La crotch, Jin Dong's version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" on the 8 points is not very difficult.
Second, Shu Qi's "Dragon Hunting Tips", Douban 7.4 points
In the film adaptation of "Ghost Blowing Lights", Shu Qi may be the most satisfactory version of Tomato Jun.
Chen Kun, Huang Bo and Shu Qi are all acting schools, so there will be no problems in acting. It turns out that this version of the Iron Triangle also has many viewers agree.
Although, the setting of the movie makes Shu Qi's version of Shriley a bit of a shadow of Laura in Tomb Raider.
But this can't change Tomato Jun's love for this version of "Ghost Blowing Lights".
Shu Qi is the kind of actress who has a good appearance, can be salty and sweet, and has a high level of acting skills, so in "Finding the Dragon", her shriley Yang is not violated at all.
When we are with Hu Bayi, there is drama in our eyes, and we can see the ambiguous feelings between the two.
Even gentle and playful.
But as soon as the Umbrella was opened, she instantly turned into the granddaughter of the Partridge Whistle, a treasure hunter of the Zagrama Clan, and Captain Shriley Yang.
This kind of manipulation of the image transformation of the role in a specific situation, Shu Qi did a good job.
Because Shriley Yang in the original book was not originally a single female character.
The only deficiency is that in the original book of "Ghost Blowing Lights", Shriley Yang has a certain strategic skill, she is Hu Bayi's right hand and left arm, in the process of adventure and treasure hunting, she acts as a think tank.
However, in the movie, Shriley Yang is too close to Laura, the strategic attribute is reduced to nothing, and from beginning to end, it is a fight and interactive scene, which undoubtedly flattens the Shriley Yang in the original book.
Of course, this is not Shu Qi's own problem, but the balance between director Urshan's restoration of the original work and commercial considerations.
After all, Wang Fatzi let the skinny Huang Bo play, and for Shu Qi's Shriley Yang, the degree of reduction has been, it is OKAY.
Third, Yao Chen's "Nine-Story Demon Tower", Douban 4.4 points
To say that Yao Chen's character in "Nine-Story Demon Tower" has nothing to do with Shriley Yang, it is really a half-cent relationship.
"Nine-Story Demon Tower" is director Lu Chuan's magic change of "Ghost Blowing Lights", which has been separated from the original in many plots, so although the character played by Yao Chen is under the banner of Shriley Yang, the only thing related to Shriley Yang is probably her gender.
From the plot point of view, "Nine-Story Demon Tower" is at best a fan of "Ghost Blowing Lights", not only writing the story as a protagonist beating a monster.
Even the characters and experiences have become unrecognizable.
This may be a deception for fans of "Ghost Blowing Lights".
If you haven't read this novel, you can look at this movie as a science fiction film.
There is also a scene in the film where Shriley Yang throws the car with his bare hands...
There is even more such a sinister expression.
Therefore, Tomato Jun, it is difficult to put Yao Chen into the scope of consideration for Shriley Yang's portrayal, and can only be shown as an alternative.
After all, Yao Chen's acting skills are still OK, and in "Nine-Story Demon Tower", she played two roles by herself, and played Yang Ping and Shriley Yang of the health center at the same time, which was a great contrast between before and after.
But the film itself is very lackluster.
Fourth, Zhang Yuqi's "Longling Labyrinth", Douban 8.2 points
This is the highest-rated of all the adaptations of "Ghost Blowing Lights", which has certain reference value for whether Shriley Yang, played by Zhang Yuqi, is similar to the original work.
This score at least proves that Zhang Yuqi's version of Shriley Yang has been recognized by most viewers.
Let's first look at the appearance, the world bashing uses words such as "Qingxiu" to describe Shriley Yang, indicating that although she grew up in the United States, she has the typical characteristics of oriental beauty.
However, Zhang Yuqi's appearance does not seem to be related to the word "Qingxiu".
Zhang Yuqi's face is clearly contoured, as a girl with a wider body, concave and convex, confined to her rest of the film and television works, the impression left is generally the style of a sexy royal sister.
Director Fei Zhenxiang obviously has a lot of understanding of Zhang Yuqi's attraction in this regard, and in "Longling Labyrinth", the buttons of Zhang Yuqi's shirt are rarely buttoned.
To "Yunnan Bug Valley", although wearing a one-piece protective suit, it is still "deep v" all the way. When she first entered the Shade Dragon Village, the director also arranged a plot of "painting flowers and dew" for her, obviously, Zhang Yuqi's attraction to straight male audiences, the director is quite confident.
In the oriental aesthetic, the two adjectives of "sexy" and "qingxiu" are difficult to coexist in the same woman, so in terms of appearance, Zhang Yuqi may be in line with the fact that she grew up in the United States, but whether it is in line with the shriley Yang in the original book of the world's hegemony is benevolent and wise.
In terms of performance, Tomato Jun is very recognized by Zhang Yuqi.
First of all, in "Longling Labyrinth", Zhang Yuqi also has more or less performance problems, such as poor lines and unstable typhoons.
By the time of "Yunnan Bug Valley", these problems have improved significantly.
Secondly, I have to admit that Zhang Yuqi is more in line with the temperament of Shriley Yang in the original work, with a gritty shot on the body and a kind of sonorous rose fierceness.
Especially after adding the play, there is still a bit of handsome, very ethereal.
Zhang Yuqi's Shriley Yang is generally progressive.
Undoubtedly, "Ghost Blowing Lights" is a fascinating work, the author of the world singing vivid description, shaping the image vividly, the concept is peculiar, the writing is novel, and the literary style is remarkable.
However, its road to film and television adaptation seems to be obstructive and long.
Although there are good works such as "Jingjie Ancient City" and "Longling Labyrinth", there are also many "bad films" that use IP to make quick money.
Although the above shriley Yang is good and bad, it is already excellent in all works.
If you like this kind of inventory text, you can leave a message to tell Tomato Jun, may wish to take stock of the next issue, those who are praised and scolded Hu Bayi.
