The martial arts dramas of the Jin Yong series are not in the remake, they are on the road of remake, but they are really remade with heart, and now it is not clear how many.
Wang Jing, who loves to shoot martial arts, has remade the film version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", and the official poster is shocked to see people in both the style and casting. Lin Feng stood in the c position like a peacock opening the screen, and the dense crowd at his feet was like a horror movie.
The dress of these people is not only indistinguishable from modern or ancient costumes, but also makes people confused about the role, if it is not Lin Feng who happens to stand in the poster c position, and the protagonist of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" happens to be Zhang Wujie, and it is impossible to imagine that Lin Feng, who is 41 years old, plays Zhang Wujie.
In Mr. Jin Yong's pen, when Zhang Wuji finally went into hiding with Zhao Min, he was just a young man who had just passed his adolescence.
This makes people wonder if this movie wants to make an old version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", and Zhang Wujie's style is still so strange, thick and modern, hairstyle and messy, to the martial arts scene is really still moving?
The 41-year-old Lin Feng plays Zhang Wuji, and Zhang Wuji's father, Zhang Cuishan, is played by 51-year-old Gu Tianle, which is a wonderful father-son age difference. Even more difficult to sort out than the age difference between the father and son group is Zhen Zidan, a 58-year-old who plays Zhang Cuishan's master: centenarian Zhang Sanfeng. And Fang Zhongxin, who is one year old with Zhen Zidan, plays Yang Xiao.
This group of elderly heroes, spanning three generations, with an average age of 52 years old, is truly wonderful in casting, and the old man who should play the old man is too young, and the one who should play the teenager is too old.
The girls' group is also very unoptimistic, the most important role of Zhao Min is played by actress Wen Yongshan, Wen Yongshan just recently played the young queen YuYan in "New Tianlong Eight Parts", was ridiculed and dry, and now turned back to fight again, 34 years old to challenge Zhao Min.
The 31-year-old Qiu Yinong played Zhou Zhiruo, the style is yu qingchun is insufficient, but the appearance is also passable, at least it is no problem to build Zhang Wuji, who is 10 years older than her.
The only thing that makes people feel that it is in line with the casting may be Chen Zihan, she will play the purple shirt dragon king Daisy, both in terms of setting and age are very just right, although each version of Daisy has a super high appearance, but the goddess of frozen age Chen Zihan is not afraid at all.
It is worth mentioning that there are also various shapes inside, some of which are very thunderous, leaving aside Zhang Wujie wearing a "city coat" everywhere, not to mention, this time Xu Jinjiang, who plays the Golden Retriever King, has become a real golden retriever and full of hair! There is also the blue-winged bat king who does not know why he is green.
Wang Jing is not the first time to direct the "Yitian" series of movies, once he directed the "Yitian Slaughter dragon record of the Demon Sect Leader", which is still nostalgic, in which Zhao Min's look back and smile has become a famous scene in martial arts movies.
But now when filming the "Leaning Heaven" series, I am looking for male stars who have indeed stunned the ancient costume martial arts, but now they have long been destroyed by the pig-killing knife of the years, not to mention, the roles arranged for them are still teenagers, which is indeed incomparable.
Wang Jing's film reputation over the years has been losing ground, and now that she has closed her eyes and cast a remake of "The Tale of the Dragon Slayer in the Sky", it is inevitable that people will be questioned about frying cold rice. However, under the general trend of the decline of Hong Kong films and Hong Kong dramas, it seems that today's Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong films seem to be unable to escape the feelings of selling feelings, and rarely innovate again.
Gu Tianle Zhen Zidan is indeed one of the few people in Hong Kong movies who can drive the box office now, but they are not a universal template, any role can be put on the body, the movie itself, it seems to be no different from those older girls, older teenagers.
Before there was Liu Jialing playing a double braid dancer, Jiang Xin playing her sister, Zhang Ziyi playing a young girl, Zuo Xiaoqing playing her girlfriend, and then Zheng Kai playing a high school student with a face fold, 42-year-old Li Chen playing a 17-year-old teenager, and now there is an older version of "Leaning Heaven".
The actor is not suitable for the role of hard acting, obviously has been overturned, but there are still people in the front and behind, and in the end, it is the audience that can't stand it.
