Vince Scarlett.
In the days when everyone was busy making a year-end summary, the gossip of the day before yesterday was particularly eye-catching: Zhou Haimei died.
Although the studio quickly refuted the rumors, and although the lawyer immediately stood up and said that the rumors would be held legally responsible, yesterday, the studio still announced the news of Haimei's death on the 11th very sadly.
Is the era of Hong Kong flavor that is peerless, and the era of Hong Kong flavor where natural beauties are like clouds, about to come to an end with the passing of beauties?This can't help but remind me of the role of life that takes everyone through the highest light of seafood.
Mr. Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is a work that directors especially like to put on the screen in all eras, because the original work is excellent, so that the variable of the screenwriter's collapse disappears, and the main control is in the hands of the director, which is in line with the unspoken rules of the film and television industry that domestic entertainment ignores screenwriters.
1978 edition
Zhao Yazhi version of Zhou Zhiruo
Maybe many post-00s don't know that this version was also very classic back then.
At that time, Zheng Shaoqiu was not the dashing Chu Liuxiang, but the stunned Han Zhang Wuji.
And in this version, the roles of Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo are also the heavyweight sisters in the entertainment industry - Wang Mingquan and Zhao Yazhi.
After this version was broadcast that year, it immediately caused a sensation in Hong Kong, defeating Jiajiatv's "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", which earned a good reputation for TVB.
Each character in the play performed his own last resort and worthy of love, making the audience sigh for the characters.
At that time, although technology was not good, their respective appearances were remarkable, the characters were beautiful, and the TV series was not stinky and long, and they wanted everything, but they were simplified and had their own adaptation ideas.
If you are interested, you can look for the restored version, and look at the sweet Zhou Zhiruo who looks completely different.
1986 year
Lai Meixian version of Zhou Zhiruo
This version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is produced by Wang Tianlin and directed by Du Sir.
The degree of classicism is also the memory of a generation of Hong Kong people, I also secretly watched some when I was reading, and the feeling at that time was why Tony Leung was so good at acting, and he could throw every protagonist in Jin Yong's pen
When you watched him play Zhang Wuji, and then looked back at Xiao Yuer, you were really shocked!
And this one plays Zhao Min is Deng Cuiwen, and Zhou Zhiruo is Li Meixian.
Those who are familiar with these two should be able to feel how good the temperament is from the casting.
And what satisfies me the most is that Li Meixian's gentle trap and inner stubbornness to feelings and Deng Cuiwen's daring to love and hate, in that era when technology is not good and the set is all dependent on sheds, she has built a martial arts world for everyone with her acting skills.
I personally think that these two Hong Kong versions of the classics have their own characteristics, and the vividness of the characters is the biggest advantage.
1994 edition
Zhou Haimei versionZhou Zhiruo.
The reason why Zhou Zhiruo, who experimented with seafood, became a memory of the era, is probably related to this broadcast time.
At that time, the post-80s generation was in adolescence, and the post-90s generation was at the age of liking to watch TV when it was replayed.
The Taiwanese version of Ma Jingtao is famous for his roaring, and Ye Tong is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of the legendary appearance of "The New White Lady", only Zhou Zhiruo played by Zhou Haimei is as tender as water, and the strange CP sense brought by Ma Jingtao and Ye Tong is neutralized.
We can see that this version of Zhou Zhiruo's appearance is completely different from the first two versions of the Hong Kong version of Zhuyu. became Zhou Haimei's classic appearance and life role.
Zhou Haimei ......... Zhou Zhiruo's femininity, gentleness, inner entanglement, helplessness, and unavoidable pressureAll kinds of entanglements are very expressive.
You pity her, she hurt her behind Zhang Wuji's back again, you hate her, she is actually kind-natured, and under her ** deformed education, she can still work hard to be a good person.
I don't like Zhou Zhiruo very much when I read books, but when I watch dramas, I feel that I feel pitiful.
This is what an actor adds to the role.
That's why Zhou Haimei's version can become the object that the subsequent version wants to imitate.
Moreover, the most popular man in this version is not Zhang Wuji, but Sun Xing's version of Yang Xiao, of course, this one will not be discussed for the time being.
2001 edition
She Shiman version of Zhou Zhiruo
To be honest, I personally liked this edition.
Because it bravely and boldly adapted the original book.
into two, and at the same time while retaining the essence of the original characters, the plot is no longer so abusive, which is especially in line with the troubled times in my mind.
Wu Qihua's handsome young man, Li Zi played by Li Zi who dares to love and hate, is extremely smart, and strategizes, forming the official CP that everyone loves in this drama.
In contrast, Charmaine Sheh's Zhou Zhiruo belongs to the stage of acting skills that are still in the pitiful stage, and the brilliance is covered up.
Looking back now, I still remember the end of the TV series, Li Zi said to Zhang Wuji, would you like to gallop with me?Then the TV series ends in the back of the two people crisscrossing the rivers and lakes.
Isn't this ending longer than the love of children and children, and all kinds of inkblots?It is very much in line with my positioning of Zhao Min, a Mongolian girl.
2003 edition
High round round plateZhou Zhiruo.
Gao Yuanyuan is probably the actor of Zhou Zhiruo who is found according to the standard with the greatest similarity to Zhou Haimei.
Basically, it has reached the point where I think of Zhou Haimei as soon as I see Gao Yuanyuan.
However, in the minds of many post-00s, if they haven't seen the old version, they will basically feel that this version is as beautiful as a cloud.
And this version, because of the proximity of time, should be the version with the most friends who have seen it.
But as far as I'm concerned, I've seen Zhang Wuji played by Zheng Shaoqiu and Tony Leung, how can I still see Su Youpeng's acting skills?So, this version is very average in my mind.
It can only be said that every decade, it has its own "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
2009 edition
Douban 55 points
This version is very magical, it actually found a heavyweight 95 flower like Liu Shishi to play the girl in the yellow shirt, and found an unknown person Zhou Zhiruo.
Whether it is appearance or acting skills, it is seriously unable to support this big drama!
As a result, the lowest score of each version of Yitian on Douban was 55。
2019 edition
Douban 58 points
In fact, whether you can make up a bunch of big names to shoot Jin Yong's dramas has actually become a test of acting skills and director's technical work in the film and television industry.
Looking at the relay remakes of Jin Yong's dramas on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, each one will show its own big names and acting skills at the bottom of the box.
However, the adaptation of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" after the new millennium has basically failed.
The 2019 version is the same as the 2009 version, which is in the Douban 5 division.
Basically, it can be seen as a sign of the incompetence of the new generation of mainland actors.
After seeing the names of the three protagonists completely unfamiliar, I still watched a few episodes.
It's hard to put into words!Don't look at it if you don't see it!
Originally, the biggest feature of Jin Yong's pen was that the characters were different, but this drama can be filmed for you so that no one knows anyone, the fight relies on acceleration, and the plot relies on jumping.
Whether it is from the actor or the director, it is a regression that is visible to the naked eye. One person cheered for the graduate school entrance examination However, Zhou Haimei still sold a sentiment to everyone and made a cameo appearance as the extermination master.
The red face is old, and the former Hua Dan has become green clothes.
Now that the fragrance is gone, only the screen image will remain in people's hearts forever.
