Pan Jinlian, the most controversial woman in "Water Margin".
She was originally a maid of a wealthy family, but because of her beauty, she was coveted by the male master. When she refused to obey, she was given to Wu Dalang by her master like an object.
At first she swallowed her anger, thinking that she was unlucky, but Ximen Qing kept entangled, Wang Po tried to instigate her, and finally she colluded with Ximen Qing, poisoned Wu Dalang, and died under Wu Song's knife.
Since "Wu Song" was put on the screen in 1963, Pan Jinlian has gradually become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as a representative of the free-spirited pop culture. Up to now, there have been no less than 10 versions.
The one that impressed everyone the most was Pan Jinlian played by Wang Siyi and Gan Tingting. Both of them also became famous overnight with this role.
One was rated as the "most classic" Pan Jinlian, and the other was praised as the "most beautiful" Pan Jinlian. So what is the difference between the two performances? What’s the unknown story behind it?
"Wang Siyi" version of Pan Jinlian
In 1998, one of the four famous novels "Water Margin" was finally broadcast. Although Liangshan 108 General was a little late, the response from the audience was enthusiastic, the ratings were overwhelming, and it was called a crowd.
Wang Siyi, a former model, perfectly interpreted Pan Jinlian's charm and viciousness, and became famous overnight.
And she won this role thanks to Lin Fangbing giving up.
"Water Margin" is undoubtedly a big IP. When the filming started, Pan Jinlian was prepared to audition.
Yu Yuexian also auditioned, but the director’s ideal height for Pan Jinlian was at least 1.7 meters. She was too short, so the role of Jin Cuilian was finally given to her.
After much selection, the director finally chose the tall and slender Lin Fangbing, whose role as Yang Guifei was outstanding.
Lin Fangbing also feels that she is lucky, and may use this role to reach the peak of her career and become famous.
However, just before signing the contract, she found out that she was pregnant. When choosing between children and career, she finally chose to give up Pan Jinlian.
So the director had to recruit new people. At that time, Wang Siyi was filming in Tianjin. The filming happened to be finished. When she was about to return to Wanwan, a friend recommended her to the director.
So she rushed to meet the director. It was already midnight when she was called for an interview. The photographer and lighting engineer were all asleep. The director called them up, and several people stared at Wang Siyi for a long time.
Later, the director directly gave the script to Wang Siyi and was very satisfied with her.
But Wang Siyi does not really want to play Pan Jinlian, "In fact, my personality is not suitable for playing that role at all. If the director knew my personality, he would definitely not let me play it."
She considers herself to be more boyish, In fact, I admire the dashing and heroic Hu Sanniang and the bold Sun Erniang who is a talented artist.
is just a carrot and a trap. The other actors have already been decided, and Wang Siyi has no other choice.
Just when she was hesitating, her mother came up with a provocation, "Don't you dare to accept the challenge?"
Wang Siyi, who was so strong, immediately said, "If there is anything I don't dare to do, then just act, who is afraid?" Who?"
Since he took over the role of Pan Jinlian, Wang Siyi worked hard to understand and figure out the character's personality.
She also joined the group one month in advance to learn how to make steamed buns and needlework.
officially started filming, and she encountered a problem.
Even though Wang Siyi is a girl from Wanwan who looks soft and weak, in fact she has a Chinese character inside and is not very good at acting coquettishly.
In the scene where she seduced Wu Song, she couldn't act well. Everyone on the scene gave her advice. Each person said a method, which made her head growl.
tried one after another, but was rejected by the director. She was so angry that she ran outside to secretly wipe her tears. After
calmed down, she didn't bother to care about everyone's opinions and just performed in her own way, successfully completing the scene.
As a digression, Wang Siyi's role was completed in just one month, but after the filming, she was reluctant to leave and stayed on the set for another month.
holds hands with Song Wenhua , who plays Wu Dalang, every day, and goes to the kitchen to make buns for everyone. The relationship is really good.
As everyone knows, Wang Siyi made the character of Pan Jinlian lifelike and penetrating. When
appears, she steams pancakes, tidies up the house, and cleans the house. She is a hard-working, virtuous, contented woman who works hard without complaining. But her beauty formed a huge contrast with Wu Dalang, who was short and ugly.
Until Wu Song came home, Pan Jinlian was shocked. Wu Song was tall and handsome, and he was completely different from Wu Dalang. So she stared at Wu Song with her eyes, and she was stunned.
Slowly, Pan Jinlian fell in love with Wu Song, and she who never wore makeup began to dress up carefully. As the saying goes, women should look good to please themselves.
When she heard that Wu Song was getting married, she boldly invited Wu Song to drink, and tentatively asked Wu Song to drink and give him a glass of wine , her gestures were full of coquettishness.
After being rejected by Wu Song, under the instigation of Wang Po, she hooked up with Ximen Qing and became romantic. When Wu Dalang discovered the adultery between the two, her face was full of shock and fear.
Suddenly, she had evil intentions and poisoned Wu Dalang to death. She said "Da Lang, it's time to drink medicine", which can be described as cruel.
Such Pan Jinlian is really loved and hated.
After the broadcast of "Water Margin", Wang Siyi was praised as the most classic Pan Jinlian.
Since then, Wang Siyi has also acted in many TV series, but no role has surpassed Pan Jinlian.
0 years later, she is still called Pan Jinlian by the audience. She joked: "Actually, 'Pan Jinlian' is old. She cannot be charming forever. She has already changed her ways and become a good woman."
In recent years, Wang Siyi has almost withdrawn from the industry. status, it is only because she is too Buddhist. She said that she has turned down many fashion events or variety show invitations:
"When I feel happy, I will take a bunch of candied haws and eat it while walking on the streets of Beijing. I don't care about the eyes of others. I am more I like a life of freedom and not being noticed by more people. I won’t change my personality for the sake of being popular. As for the so-called popularity, let’s just let it happen.”
However, it is estimated that the audience may not recognize her if she appears again. out of her.
Wang Siyi, who is now 50 years old, has long lost his former grace. His face is much wider, apple muscles are too prominent, nasolabial folds are too obvious.
In fact, it is normal to gain weight and get older after reaching your fifties. However, compared with before, the changes are so great that it can’t help but make people sigh.
"Gan Tingting" version of Pan Jinlian
also plays Pan Jinlian, which is very different from Wang Siyi's version. Gan Tingting's version is pure and sultry.
In 2009, Director Ju Jueliang decided to remake "Water Margin", but the actor who played Pan Jinlian has not been decided yet.
He screened all the actresses from China and South Korea. He thought about letting Xiao Fan play the role, and even considered letting Wang Siyi reprise the role, but he failed to do so.
At that time, Gan Tingting had already decided to play the role of Li Shishi.
But the director accidentally remembered that she had played the role of "bad woman Ye Huimei" in "Please turn on the mobile phone after landing".
In the play, she was very mature and charming, so the director changed his mind and decided to let her play "Pan Jinlian".
To challenge the classics, Gan Tingting naturally has a lot of pressure.
To this end, she read the relevant chapters of the original work no less than thirty times, read the script, consulted various reviews, and read a lot of relevant information to fully understand Pan Jinlian's past and present life.
So she had her own understanding of this role, "Pan Jinlian cannot be understood as a born slut. She did not seduce men as soon as she came up. In fact, her love was an out-and-out tragedy in that era. . Originally, she thought she would live like this forever. Who would have thought that Wu Song Wu Erlang would fall from the sky? Such a heroic figure would inevitably cause ripples in her heart. Because she did not get this true love. Being with Ximen Qing feels a bit like a broken pot. Therefore, when portraying this character, I plan to start from the psychological point of view, start with the details, and show the inner world. "
In order to perform myself. In her mind, Pan Jinlian and Gan Tingting had differences with the screenwriter on the set. She argued hard and did not compromise.
On the third day after joining the cast, he had to perform a love scene with Du Chun who played Ximen Qing. The filming of the two was not smooth.
The director was so angry that he gave an ultimatum and only shot the last one. It's up to you whether it's good or not.
Gan Tingting felt a chill in her heart. If the performance was bad, it would be broadcast like that, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
So Gan Tingting and Du Chun discussed it and finally passed the last one. Speaking of this episode later, Gan Tingting said: Brother Chun kissing my neck is like chewing a duck's neck.
It was winter and the weather was freezing. Gan Tingting had to change clothes after filming a scene. She was so cold that her face turned pale and her hands and feet were red.
Fortunately, after it was aired, her role as Pan Jinlian was pure and charming, which was very sultry. When
appeared on the scene, she wore elegant makeup and conservative clothing. She looked like a good-natured woman, completely different from the frivolous and frivolous woman that everyone imagined.
But after meeting Wu Song, her heart was filled with excitement. After drinking some wine, she began to act boldly and confessed her feelings to Wu Song through the drunkenness.
After being rejected by Wu Song, she even pounced directly on him, less seductive and more like a weak woman, unable to control her love.
After being rejected by Wu Song, she and Ximen Qing were together, but when the other party touched her feet, she looked frightened.
After Wu Dalang discovered the adultery between the two, he expressed that he would tell his younger brother Wu Song and let him avenge himself, but she begged Wu Dalang hard not to do so.
After she poisoned Wu Dalang, she was discovered by Wu Song. Knowing that she could not survive, she ended her life in a way similar to suicide.
After "Water Margin" was aired, Gan Tingting became famous overnight, and the audience both recognized and questioned her.
Regarding this, Gan Tingting explained: "Before, I had the same idea as everyone else. I also thought she was a bad woman. After reading the entire script, my understanding of her was completely different. She is a very normal woman, and she is a little bit naive when it comes to loving handsome men. There is nothing wrong with pursuing true love, but the wrong time is the era in which we live.
The audience naturally compared her with Wang Siyi. When asked by reporters, she said:
"I watched Wang Siyi's version of Pan Jinlian when I was a child, and I think she is very good." Beautiful. I think the difference between the two versions is that she plays the "passive" Pan Jinlian with a cowardly heart. In my version, she is a person who actively challenges fate. She is pursuing true love. "
It stands to reason that the role is so popular, Gan Tingting. It should be possible to achieve success through this, but the reality is cruel.
In those years, she didn't receive any good scripts. The roles she received were either charming ladies or sexy goddesses. Instead, she suffered the humiliation of a Daughter.
Someone with evil intentions brought out a large-scale playlist of her and Du Chun, and frankly said that the uncut version was very sexy.
Another large-scale photo suspected of her was circulated on the Internet, so she herself was equated with Pan Jinlian, and her flirtatiousness became her label.
was affected by this, and someone sent her a text message, explicitly offering a price to invite her to a dinner party.
Gan Tingting responded angrily: I'm sorry, I can earn this money myself, you can't afford the price I offered !
Some reporters directly asked her if she had ever encountered unspoken rules. Gan Tingting bluntly said that she was priceless!
In order to get rid of the inherent label that Pan Jinlian brought to herself as soon as possible, Gan Tingting began to reduce production and try to challenge different types of roles. "I will work hard to prevent everyone from worrying about this character (Pan Jinlian) for too long."
In 2016, she played the role of "Shen Bijun", the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, in the remake of " Xin Xiao Shiyilang ", which was well received.
In the same year, " Gufang does not admire herself " was criticized for baby cutout, but her role as Princess Yaotian was recognized.
This year, she played the female entrepreneur Ye Dalian in "Love Will Win", which is a CCTV tribute drama.
Although Gan Tingting is tepid today, she has finally washed away her past. She is also very sober. "A person should never give up something, but he should not be radical, and he should never be swayed by desire."
