The new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was very popular before it was broadcast. The director of the play, Jiang Jiajun, filmed a new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 2017, which is the highest-rated Jin Yong drama after 2010.
Guan Zhanbo, the screenwriter of the play, is a professional in Jin Yong dramas. He has adapted two versions of "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", and is also the screenwriter of Ren Xianqi's versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Swordsman". However, the new version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" did not receive good reviews after it was released, because the rhythm of the show is very slow. Zhang Wuji has not grown up after 10 episodes, and the lines are also very awkward, and there is even "beat my father to death with one palm". Such lines are grammatically illogical. When Zhang Cuishan committed suicide, he also said a line from Qiong Yaofeng, "You will defy the heavens until the end of time." It was very entertaining.
Too much slow motion makes people tired
The most criticized thing about the new version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" is the slow motion. All the martial arts scenes in the play are shown in slow motion, resulting in the second The action scenes in the first 10 minutes of an episode are all in slow motion, and at least 1/3 of each subsequent TV episode is in slow motion.
Audiences watch martial arts movies to see flowing movements. The use of slow motion in important actions can add the finishing touch. However, director Jiang Jiajun took a big step back in the new version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword". The excessive slow motion not only made people tired of watching it, but also slowed down the rhythm of the TV series.
The actors look too alike and it’s hard to tell them apart
Although there have been multiple versions of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword", none of the actors who played Zhang Wuji were as good as Louis Koo's version of Yang Guo or Huang Rihua's version of Guo Jing. So deeply rooted in people's hearts.
When it was first announced that Zeng Shunxi, the little fresh meat of Jianmei Xingmu, would play Zhang Wuji, it was highly anticipated, but later Zeng Shunxi's poor performance on the variety show "The Birth of an Actor" made people feel uneasy. Sure enough, in the new version of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", the performance is still a little lacking, and the handsomeness is not enough. But what’s more worth complaining about is the film’s actresses, whether they are Yin Susu, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao, Yin Li… ??they all look very similar. In addition, they have no personal characteristics and have assembly line-like costumes. Basically, the audience Can't tell who is who. Netizen "Yulander Wudi" said: "It makes me suffer from prosopagnosia. Each of Zhang Wuji's wives looks the same, and his wife and mother also look the same. The most terrifying thing is that Zhang Wuji and his wives also look exactly the same. ”
Why can’t Jin Yong dramas be filmed well?
Jin Yong has provided endless materials for the film and television industry. Almost all of Jin Yong's most acclaimed dramas appeared in the 1980s and 1990s. Although funds were scarce, the scenery was rough, and the makeup did not conform to modern aesthetics, they were often deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
