Among the many remakes of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword", which Zhang Wuji actor impressed you the most? From the very beginning Lam Ka-sheng's version to the current Zeng Shunxi version, although it has been remade 14 times, he is truly remembered by everyone. But there are very few people living there.
In the minds of the post-90s generation, the most impressive one is Su Youpeng’s version. However, by that time, Ma Jingtao’s version of Zhang Wuji had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and was deeply recognized by the original author, Mr. Jin Yong, so the 2003 version did not cause a stir when it was broadcast. There was so much repercussions that Su Youpeng was under a lot of pressure at the time.
Senior Ma Jingtao was already a first-line actor before he played Zhang Wuji, and his various TV series schedules were also very tight. At that time, he was not only filming "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" but also had many commercial performances. In order to earn extra money, he deliberately created opportunities for reporters to take photos of him when he was sick, just to let the crew give him a few more days off. In addition, Ma Jingtao was already very famous at the time, so the crew turned a blind eye. Fortunately, the filming of this drama was successfully completed and the response was huge once it was aired.
In addition, the other starring actor Ye Tong is also controversial. In the play, one person plays two roles, one is Yin Susu, and the other is the protagonist Zhao Min. At first, Zhao Min was played by actress Yuan Jieying from Hong Kong. At that time, Taiwanese TV series were still being filmed and broadcast, but after a few episodes were broadcast, Yuan Jieying is resigning from the role of Zhao Min. According to relevant sources, she planned to develop into the music industry and the big screen. She felt that filming a TV series was too low-grade. With no choice, the crew could only find Ye Tong to play the role of Yin Susu. Since she had already appeared in the first episode, the director asked Ye Tong if he could play Zhao Min together. In order not to delay the broadcast of the TV series, Ye Tong agreed. Only then did Ye Tong play two roles. Being a film crew is also to save money, because the investment cannot keep up, the film crew is running out of money as they film more.
In the later stages, we saw most of the emotional scenes between Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji. Actors were not arranged to appear in the scenes if possible. Even the martial arts fights were done in just a few scenes. The one who best saw the crew's embarrassment was the Emei faction. That's the scene. A large sect in Nuozhou, but there are only a few 6 people left to support the scene. Because of this, Ma Jingtao's version is also one of the most controversial among many remakes. If there had not been subsequent remakes, perhaps no one would understand the hardships of creating a work.
It is said that remakes destroy classics. You must know that a classic masterpiece has a lot to do with the director. The producer Yang Peipei has to be mentioned here. Most of Jin Yong's big martial arts IP novels have been adapted by her, and she is also a person that Jin Yong loves and hates. In the words of Mr. Jin Yong, you are the one who took the best pictures of my works, and you were the ones who took the worst ones. If Jin Yong is asked which one of the many adaptations is his favorite, he will definitely answer Ma Jingtao's version of "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", and the one he is most dissatisfied with is none other than Ren Xianqi's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
A long time ago, because the costume dramas produced by the China TV Drama Production Center were very meaningful, Mr. Jin Yong was very satisfied, so he sold the copyright of the work to them for a symbolic copyright fee of 1 yuan. And another very important reason is that he was very dissatisfied when RTHK remade his martial arts dramas, such as Ren Xianqi's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is probably the originator of magic dramas.
When this film and television drama was broadcast, most of the important chapters in the novel were changed, and it was unbearable to look at. For example, Cheng Ying was no longer a disciple of Peach Blossom Island, but became an alcoholic woman. He called Xiao Longnu a broom star. Moreover, the little dragon girl played by Wu Qianlian has nothing to do with the fairy spirit mentioned in the novel. Apart from not wearing white clothes from beginning to end, there is such a scene that makes Mr. Jin Yong most angry. The little dragon girl is violated by Yin Zhiping. Afterwards, not only did he not show any anger, but he even ate and lived with Yin Zhiping. This magical change in the plot made Mr. Jin Yong very angry. He bluntly said that this drama has no sense of the original work at all. And whenever this drama is mentioned in public, it will always be criticized. I am afraid that no drama can make Jin Yong more angry. In fact, he is very supportive of the adaptation of Mr. Jin Yong.
Ten years after Ma Jingtao's version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" was released, the remake starring Su Youpeng was released on major TV stations. This version of the adaptation did not arouse the audience's disgust, but it was the main factor that made the drama popular. When Su Youpeng's version of "The Story of the Heaven and the Dragon Sword" was released, of The reputation is polarized compared to now. When it was released in 2003, the ratings were far behind those of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" at the same time. At that time, Su Youpeng refused the invitation of Aunt Qiong Yao in order to play Zhang Wuji, but unfortunately the ratings were far behind "The Princess". "Returning the Pearl III".
In the drama, the two leading actors even sacrificed their looks. In order to increase the exposure of the drama, they took a rose bath together in a motel built by the TV station, hoping that "they will thrive when exposed to water." Su Youpeng even made a bold statement that if the ratings reached the standard, He fulfilled everyone's request and ran around naked, but the TV series has been ranked number one in the ratings, but it has not been able to wait for Su Youpeng to fulfill his promise. He has probably forgotten about it long ago.
Although this drama is people's favorite version, careful viewers have discovered that gang scenes are everywhere in the drama. There is such a scene in which Zhang Wuji cannot withstand the strong palm blows of Master Miejie. , he took a few steps back, and when the camera gave a close-up of his feet, we could see that Zhang Wuji was wearing a pair of fashionable sandals. In the late Yuan Dynasty, sandals were impossible to appear. Therefore, many netizens said that although the play is a classic in people's minds, the crew did not take the details seriously.
There are also cheating scenes in other versions. In Wu Qihua's version, Gigi Lai played Zhao Min. When filming to save Zhang Wuji, she threatened her father with a dagger, but sharp-eyed netizens discovered the clues. We can obviously see that this is not a knife. A dagger, but very much like a screwdriver. Fortunately, the main actors in these dramas are online, and the plots are interlocking, so the audience will not be affected by this small distraction from watching the entire drama.
It has been 18 years since Su Youpeng's version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" was aired. Although this drama has been remade nearly 14 times, as the most classic martial arts drama in people's minds, it will never go out of style when viewed again
