Jin Yong's role of Ren Yingying is extremely complex, from the appearance, she is a little girl who has just opened her love at the age of eighteen or nineteen, but in fact, she is in a high position of authority, she is a saint under the Sun and Moon Sect, a saint who is above ten thousand people, ordering the left side door to respond to a hundred responses, she is superior in intelligence, deep and sophisticated, handling things in a clear and always insightful way, but also taking into account the interests of all parties. These characteristics are not at all like that of an eighteen-year-old girl.
It can be said that Ren Yingying is an eighteen-year-old appearance and a forty-year-old mind. It's really hard to play this role well. At present, the little flower in the show business circle, there is really no one who can easily control this role.
Since Mr. Jin Yong serialized in Ming Pao in 1976, it has been 45 years since "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", and in these decades, there have been as many as ten stars who have played Ren Yingying, some are plausible, and some are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In 1978, "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" was first put on the screen, Wang Yu played Ling Huchong, Shi Si played Ren Yingying, and the director was Sun Zhong.
This "Smiling Proud Jianghu" produced by Shaw is too different from the original work, and even the names of the characters in the play have been changed, "Sunflower Treasure Book" has actually been changed to "Cherry Blossom Treasure Book", although it has been changed randomly, but Shaw's martial arts stars rely on excellent real kung fu, fist to flesh in action scenes, and do not lose the current special effects.
Ren Yingying, played by Shi Si, is very vivid and chivalrous. Because she has been practicing dance and professional acting training since she was a child, her movements in the play are natural and her body is beautiful and smooth.
At the end of the 60s, Zheng Peipei was the most popular martial arts actress, Shi Si was a star that emerged after Zheng Peipei left the film industry due to marriage in the early 70s, Shaw Company valued her dance skills, placed high hopes on her, and praised her for starring in "Thunderbolt Fist", "Shaolin Hero", "White Jade Tiger", "Feiyan Frightening Dragon" and other acclaimed and popular films, laying the foundation for her status as the "first martial arts actress" in the late 70s.
The 1984 version of "Smiling Proud of jianghu" was the first TV series version, starring Zhou Runfa, Chen Xiuzhu, Qi Meizhen and others.
Ren Yingying, played by Chen Xiuzhu, is decent, although very beautiful, but compared with Ling Huchong, played by Zhou Runfa, he is slightly old-fashioned, which may be the reason why the shooting technology in that era was relatively backward.
In 1983, Chen Xiuzhu collaborated with Weng Meiling in the martial arts drama "The Legend of the Archery Hero", in which she played Cheng Yaojia. Later, 26-year-old Weng Meiling, trapped in the apartment by love, committed suicide, and the martial arts drama "Lu Xiaofeng's Phoenix Dance nine days" that was originally arranged for her to be replaced by Chen Xiuzhu, who at that time regarded Chen Xiuzhu as Weng Meiling's successor.
In 1990, Chen Xiuzhu participated in the filming of "List of Fengshen Gods", in which she played the role of Nuwa.
After the "List of Gods", Chen Xiuzhu temporarily retired from the show business circle and went to Malaysia with her boyfriend to develop, but unfortunately failed to achieve positive results in the end, and when she returned to the show business circle again, due to missing the golden age, she could only play some older supporting roles.
In 1985, the Taiwanese version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" was played by Liu Xuehua as Ren Yingying, and Liang Jiaren as Ling Huchong.
Liu Xuehua was once an actress used by Qiong Yao's royal family, and her acting skills are beyond doubt, although the Ren Yingying she played is very different from the original work, but for the shyness that a little girl should be, the gentleness and infatuation of Ling Huchong, and the fierce interpretation of the enemy's heart.
Unfortunately, this version is too well-known, not many people know, but in Ren Xianqi's version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" played by dongfang undefeated is talked about.
In 1990, Zhang Min played Ren Yingying in the movie version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", the shape is the decoration of the Miao people, it seems to have more evil charm, less ren Yingying in the original in front of Ling Fox Chong's well-behaved side, overall amazing than acting. This unique Ren Yingying can also be counted as a multi-version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", adding a strong stroke.
Zhang Min has been selected by Hong Kong Entertainment Magazine as one of the "Four Special Things", its perfect combination of beauty and sexiness, so that women are fascinated, and she also has a unique temperament, she played the role of A Zi, Zhao Min, Yin Susu, Ren Yingying and so on, simply unforgettable, no matter which kind of style she can almost perfectly control.
Zhang Min's success is inseparable from the promotion of Stephen Chow and Xiang Huasheng, and later began to work alone with the wealth and connections accumulated in the entertainment industry, but unfortunately, her first movie "One Thousand and One Nights Dreamer" lost tens of millions of dollars because of the departure of her friend Leung Ka Fai.
Although she made a small profit in the later "Chasing the Girl 95 Dream", she had already tasted the cold and warmth of the world at that time, so after filming "Ten Brothers" in 1995, she faded out of the entertainment circle and went to the sea to do business.
Zhang Min partnered with real estate developers to build villas in Guangzhou that year, and also opened many shops in Shanghai, but due to poor management and credulous trust, he was cheated of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and the stores were all closed in 1999.
Zhang Min said: "I am too easy to believe others, think they are good friends, did not think much about it to invest in them to do business, and even lent them money, but in the end I did not get a dime, no way, fortunately I do not take money very seriously." ”
In June 2003, Zhang Min made a comeback and signed a contract with Kyushu Yahua Company to shoot two serials and some advertisements, but the response after broadcasting was mediocre, and it was difficult to regain the peak of the past.
In 1992, Guan Zhilin played Ren Yingying in the film "The Undefeated East of the Smiling River and Lake" directed by Xu Ke, Lin Qingxia played the oriental undefeated, Li Jiaxin played Yue Lingshan, and Yuan Jieying played the blue phoenix. All four actresses are stunning beauties, and it's simply dizzying to appear in the same movie.
Guan Zhilin is known as "Hong Kong's first beauty", she plays Ren Yingying, can be said to be the highest appearance among the previous actors, even Xu Ke's black gauze plain clothes still can not hide Guan Zhilin's outstanding beauty.
Although Guan Zhilin's appearance is high, her acting skills are mediocre, and although she has made a breakthrough in "The Undefeated East of the Smiling Pride", there is still a certain gap with the image and temperament of the original Ren Yingying. More importantly, the oriental undefeated played by Lin Qingxia is too outstanding and eye-catching, and this huge contrast further sets off ren Yingying's deficiencies.
In fact, almost all the limelight in the play was stolen by Dongfang Undefeated, so that the first thing that came to mind when seeing Xu Ke's "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" was Lin Qingxia.
1996 TVB version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", should be the audience's most impressive version, Liang Peiling played by Ren Yingying has a sense of shyness in love with a small woman, there is also a saint under ten thousand people above the majesty of a person, at the same time she can afford to put down, if you can put more effort on the appearance, it should be the most in line with the original image.
In 2007, when Liang Peiling went to Australia to shoot a TV program, she was thrown out of the car with one of the team members, and then sent to the local hospital for rescue, after examination, Liang Peiling had multiple fractures, five ribs were broken and her cheekbone was also very seriously damaged.
After Liang Peiling was discharged from the hospital, she faded out of the show business circle, and few people knew her information.
A few years ago, When attending the event, Liang Peiling said that although the previous injuries had long been recovered, the body was not as good as before, and now she suffered from spondylitis, and she had to rely on medicine to alleviate the pain caused by the body.
The car accident in Australia not only destroyed Liang Peiling's body, but also ruined her acting career.
In 2000, Yuan Yongyi played Ren Yingying in Ren Xianqi's version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu".
Yuan Yongyi's acting skills, there is no doubt that she interpreted the leadership temperament and courageous character of Shenggu to the fullest, and the only inappropriate thing is that there is more heroism and less of the little woman posture between lovers.
In 1990, Yuen wing-yee won the Miss Hong Kong award and also won the Most Photogenic Miss Award, and has since entered the show business circle.
What is even more impressive is that in 1993, she won the Best Actress Award at the 13th Hong Kong Film Awards for "New Love". In 1994, with the romantic film "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", Yuan Yongyi won the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards again, and she is currently the only female star in China to win the Academy Awards consecutively.
Unfortunately, during the filming of "Thunderbolt Fire", it is said that because he angered Jackie Chan by playing a big name, he was tragically banned, and he had no choice but to go to Taiwan to develop, and his career was not as good as before.
However, in 2017, Zeng Zhiwei sat zhuang to bring Jackie Chan and Yuan Yongyi together, and the two iced up their previous suspicions, and Yuan Yongyi also deliberately posted a photo of the same frame as Jackie Chan.
In 2000, the Singaporean version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" was played by "Roaring Emperor" Ma Jingtao as Ling Huchong, and Fan Wenfang as Ren Yingying.
Beauty in the bone is not in the skin, appearance is important, temperament is more plus, Fan Wenfang belongs to the beauty of both.
She played Ren Yingying and Ling Huchong when they were in love, delicate and cute, ice and snow smart genus seemed very spiritual, but back to the role of Shenggu, the arrogance and domineering interpretation was vivid, especially in order to save Ling Huchong, stealing the turtle, stealing scriptures, shaking the abbot, three in and three out of the Shaolin Temple, simply unfinished. Although it is very different from the original work, it is still loved by the audience.
In 2001, CCTV version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" Li Yapeng played Ling Huchong, and Xu Qing played Ren Yingying.
Xu Qing's appearance is classical and beautiful, a smile is very beautiful, she plays Ren Yingying is a very atmospheric beauty, really the kind of heroic posture of the children of the jianghu, happy and vengeful, and as the sun and moon god sect saint gu of the prestige of the performance, but also take into account the children's tenderness and honey, perhaps this is the right way for Ren Yingying to open.
Xu Qing's eyes are very bright, it seems to be able to see everything, in the play, the emotional communication between her and Ling Huchong is very delicate, there is joy, sorrow, heartbreak, tenderness, helplessness, this kind of emotion is transmitted through the eyes is incomparably wonderful. From this point of view alone, she is better than Liang Peiling, Yuan Yongyi, Fan Wenfang and others.
The 2013 version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" is played by Huo Jianhua as Ling Huchong, and Yuan Shanshan as Ren Yingying.
Yu Zheng's "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" adaptation is too big, the original Ren Yingying played by Yuan Shanshan, fresh and natural, slightly sad, slightly shallow smile, is also remarkable, but after the adaptation, the Oriental undefeated played by Chen Qiaoen directly crushed from female number one to female number two.
We can understand that Xu Ke's film version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" has many undefeated scenes in the East, after all, a movie is only about a hundred minutes, but the yuzheng TV drama version of "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu" is 45 episodes long, and the edited version has 56 episodes, and this switch between the female one and the female second has been spat on by the audience for a long time.
In fact, each version of the adaptation of "Smiling Proud of the River" is very large, and friends who have seen the original work know that Ren Yingying, as the heroine, she appeared very late. In the first half of the book, her role is too few, and the only few scenes have not yet appeared.
Mr. Jin Yong can write this way, but film and television dramas do not dare to shoot like this, and the heroine's drama must be more than the female second, so that the audience will accept it. Ling Hu Chong was still obsessed with the little master sister Yue Lingshan when he wrote three-quarters of the way in the original work, and if the TV series was filmed unchanged, it would make the audience feel that Ren Yingying was the second female superior, and such an ending was embarrassing to think about.
So each version will be adapted, and the good or bad of the adaptation tests the level of the screenwriter. As mentioned earlier, the role of Ren Yingying is very complex and changeable, and it is extremely difficult to grasp.
Each actor has his own way of acting, their understanding of the character is also different, and their acting skills are also strong and weak, so the final presentation in front of the audience is uneven.
