"Xin Tian Long Ba Bu": Yu Rongguang Is Not Safe At The End Of The Festival, And There Is Another Weird Thunder Drama After The "Monkey" Ding Ji!

There are remakes of movies and TV shows every year, and there are especially many bad TV dramas.

As the hardest hit area for remakes of dramas, film and television dramas adapted from Jin Yong's novels are almost the representatives of Chang (yue) Pai (Pai) Chang (yue) New (lan). One or two Jin Yong dramas emerge almost every year.

However, the times are developing and the industry is undergoing involution, but Jin Yong's dramas can always set new limits from time to time.

Going back twenty years ago, when Zhang Jizhong was remaking Jin Yong dramas, the comments at the time were also full of doubts and criticisms, because Zhang Jizhong's version of Jin Yong dramas often had controversies over casting, such as Li Yapeng's Linghu Chong, Huang Xiaoming's Wei Xiaobao, Zhou Xun's Huang Rong, etc. wait.

But soon Zhang Jizhong's version of Jin Yong's drama became a "classic" because of the support of latecomers, and after all, Yu Zheng appeared.

Driven by Yu Zheng's unhealthy tendencies, Jin Yong's dramas began to gradually move closer to the style of ancient puppet dramas at that time. However, we found afterwards that although Yu Zheng's adaptation had magical changes, it was already very "restrained" compared to later generations. .

The 2018 "New Swordsman" successfully saved Yu Zhengban's reputation. With an ultra-low rating of 2.5 points on Douban, the drama was successfully selected as the worst Jin Yong drama in history. It's hard to find any good points in this drama. To say it has been magically modified is to praise the screenwriter of this drama.

However, every mountain is as high as a mountain, and a dead mountain is better than a dead one.

Although "New Swordsman" was bad, because the leading actor was not well-known, its influence was limited after it was broadcast at the time. It was far less powerful than last year's "The Deer and the Cauldron" starring Zhang Yishan, which caused a lot of complaints on the Internet. .

But the irony is that even though it was complained about as "The Monkey Cauldron", the plot was poor, the actors acted awkwardly, and the whole crew was farcical. The Douban score was once as low as 2.5 points, but it still gained some fans. It has now risen to 3.2 points. It can be seen that The audience's acceptance threshold for Jin Yong's dramas has become lower and lower.

After "The Deer and the Cauldron" hit the market, remakes of Jin Yong's dramas have never stopped. Recently, another martial arts drama "Tian Long Ba Bu" is a remake of Jin Yong's novel. This drama is the seventh remake of the novel. The following is Collectively known as "New Tian Long Ba Bu".

"New Tian Long Ba Bu"

This "New Tian Long Ba Bu" is directed by the famous martial arts actor Yu Rongguang. The producer is Xinli Media, which has been committed to the costume drama market in recent years. It is also the producer behind Zhang Yishan's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Douluo Dalu".

Therefore, the casting lineup of the play almost overlaps with that of "Douluo Dalu" and "The Deer and the Cauldron". For example: Murong Fu is Dai Mubai in "Douluo Dalu", Duan Zhengchun is Dean Rand, and Mu Wanqing is Shi Zhu Zhuqing, one of the seven weirdos of Lan Ke, plays Xu Zhu as Kangxi in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Madam Ma is played by the leader's wife, one of Wei Xiaobao's seven wives, and Yu Rongguang, who plays Yelu Hongji, is Wu Sangui in "The Deer and the Cauldron" etc.

In addition to the highly similar cast members, the biggest controversy with this show is that the casting is too outrageous.

The three most important protagonists in the original novel, Qiao Feng, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu, are the soul characters of the entire story. There are also many classic interpretations in previous versions, but "New Tian Long Ba Bu" is almost difficult to cast in terms of casting. Find a highlight that pleases your audience.

First of all, Yang Youning plays the role of Qiao Feng. I really don’t understand why the producers chose an actor whose temperament can’t control the costumes to play the role of a hero. It’s not a problem with the actor’s acting skills, but Yang Youning is really not suitable for the costume look. !

Yang Youning played a handsome young man who did not suit his image in "Shangyang Fu", which caused strong complaints from the audience;

In "Xin Tian Long Ba Bu", not to mention his ugly appearance, but he also has a bitter look on his face, and from time to time there is an evil smile on the corner of his mouth. It is really difficult to distinguish him from the powerful Qiao in the original work. The peaks are connected together, and there is no heroic spirit at all.

Especially before Qiao Feng competed with Murong Fu, he actually had to pretend to be cool and blowdry his hair! ! !

A middle-aged man who is also a world-famous master and the future heir of the Beggar Clan has such greasy behavior without any aura of being a master?

Yang Youning's acting skills are also hard to describe. He has the same expression throughout the whole process, and his face is filled with a simple and honest temperament that is not very smart.

Let’s talk about Bai Shu, the actor who plays Duan Yu. This actor’s acting skills are even worse. Not long ago, he performed the cerebral palsy version of Wu Xie in "Genting Palace", which can be called a disaster-level performance in the film and television industry this year.

As for the Duan Yu he plays in this play, the Duan Yu in the original work is elegant, suave, handsome, and romantic. However, in this play, on the one hand, his appearance is too shabby, and has nothing to do with being handsome. His thick, slanted bangs make him look less handsome. The actor seems very "unfashionable".

The acting is also very artificial. Duan Yu accidentally got involved in the internal fight of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Duan Yu actually walked up to the middle of the two masters and pointed. In the original book, Duan Yu was just a nerd, but in the play, he looked like a nerd. Get rid of the stupid son of a Dali landlord.

In addition to the failure in casting male actors, the portrayal of female characters in this show is also disappointing.

Relatively speaking, the casting of actresses is not particularly inconsistent. As one of the heroines in the book, Wang Yuyan is played by Wen Yongshan. It was originally a highly anticipated performance by the audience, but the debut of the character in the first episode gave people a mediocre impression. No wonder.

It's not that the actor's temperament is not good enough, but that the styling, lighting and photography are all stretched, which cannot bring out the actor's temperament. I originally thought that Wang Yuyan's appearance should be at least as stunning as Panxi played by Wen Yongshan in "Jiuzhou Haimu Yun Ji", but under the spotlight of death in the play, the actor has no fairy spirit at all, but just like A resentful woman.

What's even more outrageous is that all the actresses in the show have ugly and unsophisticated looks and make-up, and they really don't have the slightest bit of the beauty and elegance of martial arts movies.

Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing appear on stage. The actors are obviously young, but their looks are very old-fashioned;

A'Zhu and A Bi appear on the stage, but A'Zhu, standing in front of A Bi, is made to have no sense of existence at all.

Who would have thought that the most stunning appearance would be the maid Abi?

After watching the first 6 episodes, the most suitable casting for this drama is Mrs. Ma played by Zhu Zhu. However, this role is a bit too homogeneous, because it is highly similar to Zhu Zhu’s character in many previous TV series, but there is not much. Freshness.

After talking about the actors, let’s talk about the story. The adaptation of this play is also hard to describe.

It can be summed up in one sentence: things that should not be changed are changed indiscriminately.

This does not mean that the adaptation must be a 100% reproduction of the original work, but Jin Yong's novel is actually "not a classic but better than a classic" because the content in the book has been remade so many times that it has long been well-known and familiar to everyone. If you want to be among the many classics It is not easy to adapt new ideas based on the previous "Zhuyu" while still being in line with the spirit of the original work.

The biggest change in "Tian Long Ba Bu" is the change in the roles of the three protagonists in the original work. In order to balance the roles of the three protagonists, the screenwriter greatly advanced the roles of many characters. As a result, at the beginning of the first episode, Qiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Wang Yuyan , Murong Fu, A'Zhu, the previous leader of the Beggar Clan, the abbot of Shaolin Temple and other characters all appeared in one round, including You Tanzhi.

The entire first episode feels chaotic, with forced parallel editing and multi-line narratives, but the effect is that the plot is a hammer in one direction and a stick in the other. The director also thoughtfully added subtitles next to each person's face, for fear that the audience would not be able to remember who they were after seeing them.

And this also led to confusion in the timeline.

According to the original work, when Duan Yu traveled, Qiao Feng had already been the leader of the Beggar Clan for many years.

However, in this drama, Qiao Feng's appearance was greatly advanced, which led to Qiao Feng having a PK with Murong Fu at the Shaolin Temple martial arts conference in the first episode. The original work laid the foundation for most of the story before Qiao Feng from the north and Murong Fu from the south. The duel between the two heroes is ushered in in the Shaolin Temple!

Not to mention, according to the progress of the original novel, after Qiao Feng meets Duan Yu, he will soon encounter the Xingzilin Incident, and his identity as a Khitan will be revealed by Madam Ma. This can be regarded as a major climax and suspense in the first half of the original novel.

As a result, the screenwriter of the show explained all the suspense in the fourth episode. The most outrageous part was the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan. When the former old gang leader told the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan the secret of Qiao Feng's life experience, he specifically told him not to reveal it to anyone else.

As a result, Ma Dayuan turned away and told the secret to his wife, saying that you women are quick to talk, so don't tell anyone else.

The screenwriter made such a change, not only did the plot become ridiculous, but the character of Ma Dayuan also collapsed!

Similar flaws include the lines, which reflect the crew's lack of care.

Duan Yu came to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations and met Gan Baobao, the old love of his father Duan Zhengchun. The conversation between the two was simply shocking.

Gan Baobao opened his mouth and asked: Mr. Duan, my father, how are you?

When I see this, I really want to ask the screenwriter if he doesn't know the difference between "father" and "father"?

Another example is what Qiao Feng said: The most urgent task is now.

Please, anyone who has taken Chinese language classes knows that this is a bad sentence, with repeated meanings before and after.

In addition to the failed casting and poor script, the production of this drama is also very disappointing.

The primary feature of martial arts dramas is "martial arts". In the evaluation system of traditional martial arts drama fans, the excitement of the "fighting scenes" is a very important part. However, the martial arts design of this drama is also very mediocre, and it is still a domestic ancient puppet drama. A common problem is that all fighting is done in slow motion.

Murong Fu's stunt "Dou Zhuan Xing Shi Shi" was filmed as a light kung fu, and Qiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms also showed no momentum. It's 2021 and martial arts dramas are still spinning, jumping and turning 360 degrees in the air. There is no sense of power or speed in the fight. , all relying on special effects and post-production editing.

Let’s look at Duan Yu’s Lingbo Microstep. It looks like a dancer who has practiced hard for many years. Those who didn’t know better thought he was imitating Michael Jackson’s moonwalk.

In terms of art, this show is also shabby to the naked eye, and the props are even more confusing.

The folding fans of the Song Dynasty only used simplified Chinese characters. It was too advanced. Couldn't the prop team have some snacks?

Generally speaking, although this "Xin Tian Long Ba Bu" has just been aired not long ago, judging from the previous episodes, it is another bad money-making drama with no sincerity in making copycats. I am just curious and have filmed it before. Why did Yu Rongguang, the one who produced "The Storm in the Wood Mansion", degenerate like this?

There was the thunder drama "Fights Break the Sphere" before, and now there is "Xin Tian Long Ba Bu". Teacher Yu is afraid that he will not be able to keep it by the end of the year!
