Recently, the news that 51-year-old Li Yapeng played Guo Jing again has attracted a lot of attention. However, his performance caused controversy and criticism, his movements were clumsy, his eyes were dull, and he was complained by netizens that he was "too greasy". Is this kind of performance suitable for the role of Guo Jing?Does the performance in the TV series match the image of the original book?Let's take a look at the logic behind these ideas.
The criticism of Li Yapeng's re-playing Guo Jing mainly focused on his performance. Guo Jing, as a classic image of Mr. Jin Yong, has always been regarded as a heroic figure with righteousness and pride. However, Li Yapeng's performance this time was described by netizens as "clumsy movements" and "dull eyes", which is far from the image of Guo Jing's brave and heroic in the original work. When a classic work is remade, it is understandable that the audience attaches great importance to the image of the characters, and their requirements for character creation are also more stringent. Especially the classics, there is already a very clear image in the minds of the audience, and the inheritance and interpretation of this image tests the actors' acting skills and understanding. Therefore, netizens' criticism of Li Yapeng is not unreasonable.
Of course, when discussing whether Li Yapeng's performance as Guo Jing is in line with the original image, we must also see the existence of different points of view. Some netizens believe that although Li Yapeng's performance deviates from the original image, it also has its unique charm. Although his movements are clumsy and his eyes are dull, they are closer to the life of ordinary people and have a little more realism. At the same time, due to age, it may also give a new focus to character building, and this redefinition may also be a new exploration in the remake of classic works. This view is also not without merit.
Li Yapeng's performance as Guo Jing has caused widespread controversy and discussion. From the criticism and praise of netizens, we can also see the audience's love for classic works and strict requirements for character images. For actors, how to interpret the role on the basis of respecting the original work, and how to create new expressions in the remake is also a new challenge. Perhaps, this controversy is just the beginning of this remake, more remakes will usher in more discussions and controversies, and actors will also face more challenges related to character building. Let's wait and see what new expressions and explorations there will be in the remake of classic works.
Whether it is criticism or praise, it should be viewed with a heart of tolerance and understanding, after all, everyone's performance is a unique presentation, and it is also an interpretation and interpretation of the role. I hope that in the future, classics like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can find more new possibilities in remakes, and I also hope that the actors can show more innovation and charm in character building.
