"Romance of the Gods" is a myth that integrates elements of folklore, mythology and history, and its storyline, characters and ideological connotations have a unique charm. However, due to the fact that the original book was written in the Ming Dynasty, it was affected by factors such as the background and cultural environment of the times, and there were also some problems and deficiencies in the characters and storylines. Among them, the difference between the character and the original character is one of them.
First of all, let's take a look at the main character in "Romance of the Gods" - Jiang Ziya. In the original work**, Jiang Ziya is an elderly old man, although he is intelligent, he does not have particularly outstanding martial arts. However, in the TV series "Fengshen Part 1", Jiang Ziya has become a sophisticated, sleek and cute image. This adaptation makes it easier for the audience to accept the role of Jiang Ziya, and it is also more in line with the aesthetic needs of contemporary audiences.
In addition to Jiang Ziya, another character that has attracted much attention is Daji. In the original book**, Daji is a charming and vicious woman, she bewitches the king through her beauty, and helps the king to abuse and do whatever she wants. In the movie, Daji was portrayed as a nine-tailed fox demon. She only wanders the world through Daji's body, and Daji's soul and mind are not mortal, but have obvious animal attributes. She came to the king of the Ring to repay the king for his unintentional help in waking her up after sleeping for hundreds of years, and she came to repay the kindness. This adaptation makes the character of Daji more three-dimensional, and it also makes it easier for the audience to identify emotionally.
There are certain differences between the characters in Fengshen Part 1 and the original characters. This difference may be due to the director's own interpretation and understanding of the background and cultural environment of the myth of "Fengshen Bang". However, this adaptation makes it easier for viewers to understand and accept these characters, while also providing viewers with a richer visual and emotional experience.
