has recently launched a new version of " Chu Liuxiang ". This guy's shiny European-style double eyelids, a pointed chin that can plow the ground, plump pouty lips, and plump apple muscles can persuade the audience in minutes. retreat.
Coupled with a crooked smile anytime and anywhere, there is enough oil for cooking during the Chinese New Year.
When both good looks and acting skills are too low to complain about, the audience will basically have no desire to watch this drama anymore, but there will definitely be discussion. No, some netizens immediately summarized the ugliest versions of "Chu Liuxiang" in history. For example, the one broadcast in 2007 that even the director complained was "too ugly to be handsome in any photo" Zhu Xiaotian version:
And before Zhu Xiaotian, Ren Xianqi's version was also criticized for not being good enough to support the handsome handsome man.
But, whether you are angry or not, from 1998 to 2001, Ren Xianqi defeated the three heroes written by Jin Yong and Gu Long in one go. In addition to Chu Liuxiang, there were also Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Swordsman" Linghu Chong in Jiang Hu.
As for nearly two decades later, netizens are still ridiculing Ren Xianqi for being the only male singer who has an average appearance but plays the role of a handsome man in ancient costumes.
Why does he have the opportunity to play so many handsome men who are "not worthy of their name"? Because of red.
In 1990, when he was still in his senior year, Ren Xianqi was discovered by a record company. Within two years, he released three albums, "Ask Again", "Indifference and Tenderness", and "Fly to My Own Sky".
However, the response to these albums was mediocre. At this time, the company's development was also in jeopardy and there was no time to consider his personal future. He began to support his family by being the host of various TV and radio programs, and in some film and television works.
Later he was drafted into the army, and his music career was temporarily put on hold. By the time he returned from the army, the company had been acquired by the Rolling Stones, and he was packaged and sent to the Stones.
In the Rolling Stones of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the little-known Ren Xianqi was not reused at the beginning. He worked in various jobs in the company every day, and started to get involved in racing in his spare time (later he participated in competitions and won many awards).
In 1996, when the Rolling Stones were about to fall into dust, Ren Xianqi was finally remembered by Xiao Chong, one of the three major musicians together with Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng, and he personally produced the album "Reliance" for him. The sales were not bad, so Xiao Chong immediately went to the United States in person to work on He created his second album "Heart Is Too Soft".
"Heart Is Too Soft" was welcomed by the public as soon as it was released, setting a sales record of 26 million copies. The title song of the same name "Heart Is Too Soft" is even more popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places. At that time, everyone from seventy-year-old women to three-year-old children could hum a few lines, "You are always too soft-hearted, and you cry alone until dawn. You love that person without regrets, I know You're not that strong at all..."
Since then, Ren Xianqi's market has been fully opened, and he later released the album "Love Like the Pacific". The title songs "The Girl Opposite Look Over" and "Sad Pacific" were also widely circulated.
In that era when there was no Internet, no mobile phones, no fans to make charts, and no companies to hire trolls to build momentum, his popularity was built with each album.
is gaining momentum in the music industry, and various film and television film appointments are coming one after another, including Jin Yong Gu Long's classic martial arts, which is called a big IP in today's fashionable terms. The first one that came to the door was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Even though Ren Xianqi's appearance and temperament were far from the heroes, and even though there were already famous actors like Andy Lau and Bai Gu at the time, the producers still wanted to use the film. Let Ren Xianqi's popularity surge.
The lineup provided for him is also quite strong, gathering popular movie stars from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, including Wu Qianlian, Li Liqun, Liang Jiaren, Xu Shaoqiang, Sun Xing, Chen Hong, Liu Zi, etc., and even the director Li Huimin himself showed up Face, Wanyan Honglie made a cameo appearance.
But the reputation of a martial arts drama with a male protagonist who is not handsome, a female protagonist who is not beautiful, and whose acting skills are young can be imagined.In addition, two months before this version was aired, Fan Wenfang and Li Mingshun's version had just aired, and it became even more so...
Ren Xianqi's version of "The Condor" only scored 5.1 points, which is only higher than Chen Xiao's version of 4.8 among previous versions. The penultimate place in points.
The most popular comment on Douban is "Ren Xianqi was very popular at that time and ruined many heroes."
However, although this drama has been criticized for the appearance of the two main characters, the two theme songs are resounding throughout the sky.
's opening song "Ren Xiaoyao" was specially composed by Xiaochong for Ren Xianqi's version of Yang Guo, which perfectly explains Yang Guo's chic nature and chivalrous tenderness.
"Whether it makes me sad, makes me regret, hates the heaven you don't understand, makes me suffer, makes me tired, makes me see her smile every day, makes me drunk, let me Whether you sleep or forget all your sorrows and troubles, let me be right or wrong, let the world float freely."
After Yang Guo, Ren Xianqi "got involved" with Linghu Chong and Chu Liuxiang.
"Swordsman" is the same as "The Condor", produced by Yang Peipei and directed by Li Huimin and Lai Shuiqing. Many of the actors are the original cast members in "The Condor", such as Sun Xing, Li Liqun, and Xu Shaoqiang. In addition, there are many big names, the female director Yingying is played by the popular Hong Kong actor Anita Yuen, the second female lead Yue Lingshan is played by the famous "Qiong Girl" Chen Derong, Liu Xuehua plays Dongfang Invincible, Jiang Dawei plays Qu Yang, Gu Guanzhong and Xu Shaoqiang Two generations of "Yun Feiyang" gathered together, and even Chen Baoguo was involved...
The female characters are more beautiful than the last.
Linghu Chong is not as handsome as Yang Lianting.
Fortunately, Ren Xianqi's acting skills have been greatly improved in this drama, and it doesn't seem out of line. In addition, the action director of this drama is Cheng Xiaodong, and the fighting scenes are very exciting.
But if we talk about the most successful Linghu Chong, it is Lu Songxianโs version. If the heroines of these two films were swapped, it would be perfect.
Similarly, Ren Xianqi's version of "The Swordsman" is also outstanding in its theme songs, the opening songs "I Can't Die" and "End of the World".
"It was freezing and snowy, I poured all the ice water on my head." "It was dark and dark, I couldn't help but the shooting star. I couldn't help but be scalded and frozen." Many people still yell at KTVs to this day.
After playing two Jin Yong heroes, Ren Xianqi went to play Gu Long's "Xinchu Liuxiang". This time the producer was replaced by the equally famous Wang Jing. The group of beauties also match him very brightly, including Ruby Lin, Christine Yang, Gigi Lai, Anita Yuen, Michelle Wan, Zhang Qian, Yang Rui, Chen Farong and Lin Xilei.
The male supporting cast is also a big name, including Ekin Cheng, Sun Yaowei, Zhang Weijian, Li Yaoxiang, Chen Xiaodong, and Ng Mengda.
is the same as the later version of Zhu Xiaotian. Among the group of stunning beauties, the slightly apologetic Chu Liuxiang looks out of place.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiaotian's complaints were louder than his, so he was not at the bottom.
But the theme song of "The Legend of Liuxiang of Xinchu" is also very classic. The opening song is "The Flower Is Too Fragrant" tailor-made for him by Xiaochong. I heard it was used again the next year in the martial arts drama "The Drunken Man" starring Zhao Wenzhuo and Mo Shaocong. As the theme song.
"The flowers are too fragrant
The flowers are romantic, the flowers are dead, the flowers are impermanent
Without a little hurt
I only care about loving her
The beauty is graceful and the fragrance is everywhere
The moonlight is faint and bright in the mountains"
A rich classical atmosphere comes to my face, with a few hints of it. Very melancholy.
I remember a question on a certain website: "How popular was Ren Xianqi back then?" There was a very funny answer: Look at his looks, he can play all the handsome men in Jin Yong Gulong's works, what do you think?
Strictly speaking, his appearance is not bad, but it is a bit difficult to play Peerless. Fortunately for
, he used the theme song to win back three points for himself. After all, as soon as those songs are heard, they become the memories of a generation.
