The new version of "Two Prides in a Family" has been broadcast on CCTV TV channel, and it is also a remake of martial arts drama with a new bottle of old wine. This drama is adapted from Gu Long's martial arts novel and has been put on the screen for countless times. Now it has been re-filmed by director Guo Jingyu. I really admire the director's courage and boldness, because remaking the classic TV series itself is very risky, especially remaking this classic martial arts novel. Many original parties have memorized Master Gu Long's novel "Double Pride", and after many remakes into TV series, the plot won't change much, so the new version of "Double Pride" didn't bring much surprise and praise to the audience after its launch, on the contrary, there were many voices of spitting, especially under the preconceived thinking mode, the audience was quite dissatisfied with the image and temperament of the two main actors, Hua Wuque and Xiaoyu, and even lost.
The story of "Two Prides in a Family" is very martial arts. It mainly tells the story that Yan Nantian, a great warrior, devoted himself to martial arts life and gave up the pursuit of inviting the moon. This made Inviting the moon hate and decided to take revenge on Yan Nantian with his life, so he detained Yan Nantian's good brother Jiang Feng, who was a stunning man and deeply attracted his sister's heart. Jiang Feng and Inviting the moon fell in love and gave birth to twin sons. Inviting the moon saw the opportunity to retaliate against Yan Nantian. Decided to use Jiang Feng's two sons to make an issue of it and raise the twin sons separately. When they grow up, that is, Hua Wuque and Xiaoyu, let them kill each other, so as to break Yan Nantian's heart!
The story is still the same as the original story, and the plot is still the same, but it is performed by a different actor, so the spit points of the new version of "Two Prides of the Family" are also from actors! Hua Wuque and Xiaoyuer, the protagonists, are two very young actors, which can't be compared with previous versions in terms of temperament and image!
Because this novel by Gu Long is so classic, it has already been remake countless times. The most classic version was played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Wu Dairong in 1988. Tony Leung Chiu Wai's little fish is clever and eccentric, and when he smiles, it can make people feel that he wants to be teased, while Wu Dairong plays Hua Wuque, who is graceful and charming. The combination of these two people is very consistent with the original standard!
After that, the remake appeared one after another. Fish and Hua Wuque, played by Jimmy Lin and Alec Su, can also be called classics, but they are slightly inferior to Tony Leung Chiu Wai's version!
In 24, another film was remake, probably for fear that the audience would get tired of this remake. The director directly named the TV series "Little Fish and Hua Wuque", and invited the two most popular actors at that time, Dicky Cheung and Nicholas Tse, who played Little Fish and Hua Wuque respectively. In fact, it was still a remake in the same way, and the story was still the same! Fortunately, the play was starred by the popular Nicholas Tse, and many mainland stars, such as Yolanda and Fan Bingbing, gathered in the play, so it attracted a lot of viewers, and the reputation and ratings were still very good. However, the new version of "Two Arrogances", which is broadcast again now, is really unattractive, and the fame of the two protagonists is not even as good as that of Gallen Lo, the actor who plays the supporting role in Jiang Biehe!
Gallen Lo is a veteran actor in Hong Kong. He used to be a handsome guy, but time and tide wait for no man. Now he can only play a villain like Jiang Biehe in a supporting role. Although Jiang Biehe of Gallen Lo hasn't been online yet, Jiang Biehe of Gallen Lo has become the most handsome version among many versions, even Wang Bozhao, the actor of Jiang Biehe in the last version!
why do you compare Wang Bozhao with Gallen Lo? Because in the version of Little Fish and Hua Wuque starring Nicholas Tse and Dicky Cheung, Wang Bozhao also played the role of Jiang Biehe, and Wang Bozhao was also a small fresh meat. He once played the handsome three princes of the Dragon King in The Journey to the West. Director Yang Jie chose Wang Bozhao to play the little white dragon when he chose the actor, but Wang Bozhao was already a very popular actor at that time, so he began to want to raise the performance fee to politely refuse Director Yang Jie. Freely offered a sky-high price of 1,5 yuan, knowing that the cost of starring at that time was 2 yuan, but I didn't expect Director Yang Jie to promise Wang Bozhao in order to strive for the effect of the TV series, and only then did we have the image of the classic three princes we saw today, which was really handsome and compelling and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
without Gallen Lo's version of Jiang Biehe, Wang Bozhao's Jiang Biehe is definitely the most handsome version. When Wang Bozhao was filming this TV series, Nicholas Tse and Dicky Cheung beat him to the hospital in the name of filming, and Wang Bozhao took them to court afterwards. The media also made a lot of reports on this matter. Wang Bozhao thought it was because he wanted to sit on the stool of the Hong Kong actor Nicholas Tse's team during the filming break, which led to the intentional revenge of Nicholas Tse and Dicky Cheung during the filming. However, some media reported that Wang Bozhao's frivolous behavior towards the actresses in the cast aroused the dissatisfaction of Nicholas Tse and Dicky Cheung, which led to the deliberate beating of Wang Bozhao by filming the drama.
No matter what the reason is, Dicky Cheung and Nicholas Tse really beat Wang Bozhao. At that time, Nicholas Tse was only 25 years old, and both Dicky Cheung were young and energetic. Finally, the court ruled that they had intentionally beaten Wang Bozhao and caused minor injuries. Although Wang Bozhao finally reconciled with them, they also paid a painful price for it, especially Dicky Cheung's acting career was almost banned!
Nowadays, life in Wang Bozhao is very moist. Besides filming, he will also spend his spare time traveling and enjoying local food and wine. His greatest hobby is calligraphy, and his calligraphy attainments are still quite high!
There is nothing to watch in remaking A Double Pride. On the contrary, it evokes the past of the actors in the old version, and it really enters the reincarnation of the remake, just like the previous remake of Louis Koo's The Search for Qin. The new version has just been released, which quickly makes the old version a hit!
Gu Long's novels are really wonderful, but what other plots can attract the audience with such repeated remakes? I really don't understand why the current directors are always persistent in remaking these classic TVs. Isn't it possible to shoot thousands of years of cultural history and historical celebrity stories in China? I hope the directors will make more efforts to create new TV dramas! The remake is risky, and the director needs to be careful!
