"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is undoubtedly a big IP, and naturally, it has also become a popular theme that many crews are happy to adapt. Since the day there were film and television works, the Three Kingdoms theme works have sprung up like mushrooms, and there is no shortage of highlights. To say that the most affirmed and loved by everyone belongs to the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" broadcast in 1994.
For this work, I believe that all the friends here are already familiar with it, as a work that is filmed with the strength of the country, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has reached an impeccable point in all aspects except for the specific factors of certain era restrictions. In terms of plot, the play has a high degree of respect for the original work, except for the deletion of some unnecessary chapters, most of the stories familiar to the audience have been restored in the play. In terms of actor selection, whether it is Tang Guoqiang, who plays Zhuge Liang, Lu Shuming, who plays Guan Yu, or Bao Guoan, who plays Cao Cao, or even Zhou Zhou, who plays Jiang Gan, who has very little role, they have all given us textbook-like acting skills. If you have anything to say about the performances of these actors, then I can only think that you are provoking or raising the bar.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a work based on male perspectives, and the first people think of are male characters such as Liu Guanzhang, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Zhao Yun. But this does not mean that the female characters in this work are not brilliant, and jun does not see the mink cicada skillfully playing a serial trick between Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo? Don't you see Lady Sun's spirited hair and not let her eyebrows? Even Mrs. Zhu Rong, who is in a quiet corner, can also go to battle to kill the enemy, making countless men ashamed of it. They are also a beautiful scenery in the world of the Three Kingdoms.
In the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the casting of most female characters is worthy of recognition, especially Chen Hong, the actor of the mink cicada, Zhao Yue, the actor of Mrs. Sun, Wei Huili, the actor of Zou, and Li Yunjuan, the actor of Mrs. Zhu Rong, etc., whose degree of surprise is no less than that of Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Guan Yu and other male casts.
So, among the many female characters, there is no female casting that makes people feel defeated? The answer, of course, is "yes", and their acting skills are indeed no problem, but they are too far from the depictions in the book.
The first female character that makes me feel like a failure is Sun Ce's wife, Big Joe. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" novel, the popularity of Big Qiao can be said to be very high, and the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, who was more of a good wife, wrote a classic poem of "The East Wind does not cooperate with Zhou Lang Ben, and the Copper Bird Spring Deep Lock Er Qiao". What can make Cao Cao so crazy shows that the appearance of Big Qiao and Little Qiao has reached the same level as the mink cicada.
In the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xiao Qiao's casting is the big beauty He Qing, this casting can be said to be textbook-level, and no one can fault it. Compared to Little Joe, Big Joe's casting is a bit unsatisfactory.
Playing Big Joe in the play is Gong Lijun, a national first-class actor. To be able to get the title of "national first-class actor", Teacher Gong Lijun's acting skills are certainly no problem, and over the years, she has also left a deep impression on us in dramas or film and television works such as "Thunderstorm", "Beijinger", "Tea House", "Daming Palace Words" and so on. But in terms of appearance, Gong Lijun's appearance can only be regarded as medium, which is far from the big Joe in the book, compared to He Qing, who plays Little Joe, the big Joe who does not have much role almost does not leave any impression. In the impression, it seems that Sun Ce was slightly exposed before he died, right?
Another female casting that makes me feel that she has failed is that after Zhao Yun obtained Guiyang, Zhao Fan wanted to grant him his widowed sister-in-law Fan Shi. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although Fan Shi does not have the same popularity as Sable Cicada, Big and Small Qiao, and Lady Sun, according to the description in the book, although Fan Shi is wearing a silk, he also has the color of the country, which shows that the posture of this Lady Fan is not bad.
In CCTV's "Three Kingdoms", Fan's casting is the same as Big Joe, who also committed the problem of acting skills but not enough looks. The actor who played Fan shi was the old drama bone Geck, as early as 1985, she won the "Golden Rooster Award" and "Hundred Flowers Award" for the film "Garland Under the Mountain" and was nominated for the best actress. Since then, Gak has also starred in popular film and television works such as "The Legend of Bruce Lee", "Who Decides My Youth", "Let's Fall in Love", and his superb acting skills have left a deep impression.
But in terms of appearance, Teacher Gaike, like Teacher Gong Lijun, can only be counted as an ordinary person at most, and she cannot imagine that she is the Fan clan who has fallen into the country in the book.
Of course, the two failed casting can not negate the success of the entire work of the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as a work with a 9.4 super high rating on Douban, the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can fully bear the four words of "great work", and the two failed castings can only become people's talking points after dinner.
