In recent years, many people have been complaining that domestic dramas do not have good scripts, so they can only look for remakes of classic film and television dramas from the past. The effects of the remakes are often not as good as the old versions, so when Qiong Yao 's daughter-in-law He Xiu Qiong expressed the hope to reproduce the story of "Huan Zhuge Ge ", which once brought joy to countless young people, in a way suitable for young people to watch. When this news first came out, it was widely criticized as a "remake". A lot of complaints from netizens.
When it comes to the third remake of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", many people will think of the previous versions of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". Among them, the first version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" starring Zhao Wei, Su Youpeng and others is the most popular.
The plot and casting of this version are undoubtedly successful. In that era when most costume dramas were serious and serious dramas, Qiong Yao's heroine drama was already an extremely unusual existence. Most of the actors were newcomers, and they were very good at acting. Although the film is a bit green and immature, it is able to show a kind of innocence that fits the character's personality. This may also be why after so many years, some people still feel that they see the agility of little swallow in Zhao Wei, even though Zhao Wei is now a wife, intellectual and elegant.
In addition to the excellence of the TV series itself, there are also reasons why it continues to be broadcast during the summer. The year "Huan Zhuge Ge" was first aired, it became popular all over the country and broke the ratings record for Chinese TV series. From then on until the second edition of "Returning the Pearl: Returning the Pearl in Heaven and Earth" was broadcast, she was a frequent guest on various TV stations' summer programs. She continued to maintain her nationality and at the same time let more young people see the story of the return of the Pearl. Impressed ever since.
By the time the second version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" starring Huang Yi, Ku Juji and others was broadcast, the leading actors of the previous version had already become famous because of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and already had high popularity in China. Well-known, and at this time the second version is a sequel to the previous version appearing in front of the audience, which inevitably makes the audience resist before watching the show.
However, the controversy caused by this version is more focused on the plot. It tore up the beautiful fairy tale in the minds of Huanzhu fans, and turned the beautiful love between Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei and others into a post-marriage The quarrels continued and a third party intervened.
As for "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" starring Hai Lu, Li Sheng and others, it was also rated as a bad drama by the audience because of its casting and plot. The beauty of the leading actors was not as good as that of Zhao Wei and Fan Bingbing, and it coincided with the " "Anti Qiong Yao" is in full swing. The audience's attention is no longer on the protagonists, but instead sympathizes with the supporting queens, Xinrong and others. Especially after the episode of Yongqi and Xinrong consummating their marriage was aired, Yong Qi immediately became one of the representatives of scumbag men who abandon their families and children in the eyes of the audience.
It seems that the two previous "failed" remakes can become our rejection of the upcoming third version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". However, counting those classic TV series that have become our childhood memories, there are also many among them. The "remake drama" that we sneer at nowadays. The classic 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is so unique that the 1989 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" that appeared two years later has become a foil even though it has many advantages.
In addition to "A Dream of Red Mansions", the popular folk tale Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai has also been remade many times. Not to mention the 2017 online drama version, many people like Dong Jie "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" starring He Rundong British and Taiwanese", but There are also many people who like "Butterfly Lovers" starring Liang Xiaobing and Luo Zhixiang, which was broadcast in 2000, but further back in 1994, "Butterfly Lovers" directed by Tsui Hark was also particularly touching. This movie was even nominated The 31st Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards "Best Cross-Media Adapted Screenplay Award". However, countless people still regard Dong Jie's version of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" as a classic.
Jin Yong's martial arts drama is also one of the countless TV dramas that have been adapted. When "Story of Yanxi Palace" was on the air, Nie Yuan, who played Qianlong, competed with Huang Xiaoming The choice of Yang Guo has been discussed by netizens. Li Ruotong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was first and foremost, and Liu Yifei's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has received mixed reviews after being aired. However, the character played by Liu Yifei created by this drama Xiao Longnu is still Bai Yueguang in the hearts of many viewers.
"Huan Zhu Ge Ge" made Su Youpeng, the fifth elder brother, famous, and his starring role in "The Yang Family Tiger General" is also the current "childhood memory". This drama was broadcast in 2004, and three years later there was also a film telling the story of the Yang family generals. TV series was aired, but the performance of this one cannot be underestimated. The Douban score is as high as 8.1, while Su Youpeng's version only scored 6.4. This drama is still our classic "Young General of the Yang Family".
The reason why the classic has become a classic is not only because of the great care of the producer itself, but also because of the brilliant acting skills of the entire cast, the excellent plot, and the exquisite costumes, etc. It is also because of our nostalgia for childhood. The play tells the story of everyone The joys, sorrows and joys of the characters carry the youth of a generation of viewers off-screen.
Although the two versions of the remake of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" have been questioned, some people think that Xiao Yanzi, played by Zhao Wei in the old version, has a character breakdown in the second part. They think that Huang Yi's version better reflects the reality after marriage, and think that Li Sheng Although the new version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is overly modernized, it shows the love between the fifth elder brother and Xiao Yanzi in a more delicate way, which was rarely described in the old version. From this perspective, why can we firmly believe that remakes are meaningless and destroy classics?
Classics are not unique. When we get out of the vicious circle of "remakes are ruining classics", we will see the arrival of more classic film and television dramas. After all, no one can be 100% sure that the next remake will be a bad drama.
