Since the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was broadcast in the mainland in 2011, it has been widely praised by the audience, which can be described as very popular, and has also become one of the repertoire of major TV stations.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" created a ratings miracle for palace fighting dramas, earned enough fans in the mainland, and then became popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and the entire Southeast Asian region.
As early as the end of 2012, a film and television production company in the United States took the initiative to contact the producer of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", hoping to adapt the TV series into an American drama or movie and broadcast it on the mainstream ** platform in the United States.
In 2015, after editing by famous Hollywood producers, and through a series of work such as subtitle translation and lens reshooting, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" officially landed in the United States and was broadcast on Netflix for the whole United States.
The American version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has a total of 6 episodes, each episode is 90 minutes. Although due to the drastic deletion of dramas, cultural differences and other reasons, the American version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" did not set off much ratings waves in the United States, but there are also many commendable points.
The first is a high degree of condensation, the original 76 episodes were edited into six episodes, and the rhythm is very tight, and secondly, a large number of wonderful translations, especially the translation of ancient poems, are very difficult.
The biggest change in the American version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the addition of scenes of Zhen Huan's old age, which is told in a reminiscent tone. The elderly Zhen Huan's appearance is very amazing, she has become the queen mother, she is graceful and luxurious, and a group of people follow behind, but she is a little melancholy.
The footage of the elderly Zhen Huan was retaken later, she walked in the imperial garden, and often remembered the past, the wind and rain she experienced and the women in the harem.
Although there is a group of people around her, most of them are unfamiliar faces, and there is only one acquaintance, and that is Xiao Yunzi. Why is only Xiao Yunzi left, and everyone else has gone?
Through the plot of the previous 76 episodes, we learned that Zhen Huan had two personal maids and a housekeeper, and the personal maid Liuzhu hit the guard's knife headlong in order to get medical treatment for the sick Zhen Huan.
Later, Zhen Huan went to Ganlu Temple, and has always been accompanied by Huanbi and Jinxi, and later returned to the palace, Huanbi married King Guojun, after King Guojun was poisoned, Huanbi was also martyred, and Jinxi has always been by her side.
Jinxi didn't appear on the camera in the end, did Jinxi go**? Some speculate that she may have died and was killed by Zhen Huan. However, this possibility is very small, after all, Jinxi has been with Zhen Huan when she is most down, and she will never give up.
Because there is no Su Peisheng in the final scene, the biggest possibility is that Su Peisheng and Jinxi went out of the palace together to retire, after all, the two of them have been helping Zhen Huan to the end, Zhen Huan is a loving person, and it should allow them to spend their old age in peace.
The elderly Zhen Huan has only one acquaintance Xiao Yunzi by her side, and she often falls into the sadness of memories, although she has supreme power after becoming the queen mother, but the confidants around her have left her one by one, which is very sad for her who is emotional.
For example, although An Lingrong caused Zhen Huan to have a miscarriage and harmed her a lot, Zhen Huan saw the young concubine in the palace shouting "sister", and still remembered An Lingrong's pitiful appearance, because at that time, An Lingrong often called her "sister" and "sister".
As for why Xiao Yunzi was able to follow her all the time?
In Xiao Yunzi's most difficult time, her brother was sick and no one treated her, Zhen Huan found a doctor for him, and in the process of getting along, Zhen Huan treated the palace maids and eunuchs who served her sincerely.
So Xiao Yunzi was moved by Zhen Huan and was very heartfelt to her. Moreover, Xiao Yunzi should be younger than Zhen Huan, so when she is old, when the intimate people around Zhen Huan leave one by one, there is only Xiao Yunzi in the end.
In the end, Zhen Huan recalled that the antidote to her life was Yunli's love.
Zhen Huan's marriage is unfortunate, the emperor is not sincere to her, and has been guarding against her, saying that he listens to her opinion, but he is actually afraid that she will interfere too much in politics.
And Yunli's appearance is like a light in Zhen Huan's life, from the time she met Yunli on the wrong boat late at night, and saw the small statue in Yunli's purse fall out, she secretly put it back, presumably she had a different kind of affection for Yunli at that time, but because of her identity, she couldn't like him.
And in Ganlu Temple and Lingyun Peak, in the most difficult days, Yunli sent charcoal in the snow every time, and finally moved him, and the love between the two people was very beautiful, but then something went wrong.
Although Yunli failed to accompany her to the end, her relationship with Yunli has become the warmest memory of her life.
The American version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is only six episodes, but it is very concise, and the footage of Zhen Huan's old age is added, and it is another unique perspective to string together with memories.
