The first reason is rumor.
There are two rumors surrounding Lao Bai for a long time.
The first rumor is that Laobai's original name is Baiyutang. Laobai changed his name to Bai Zhantang because he couldn't forget Zhan Hongling. And Bai Zhantang means Bai Yutang and Zhan Hongling meeting the bride.
This rumor has been made for decades, and some people still believe it. First of all, Baiyutang is actually a dish. It is impossible for Laobai to take a dish seriously, right? Secondly, there is also a direct account in the play.
In episode 38, Mo Xiaobei clearly pointed out that Baiyutang is just a nickname (Baidu Encyclopedia Bai Zhantang's entry also shows that Baiyutang is a nickname).
Pearl Jade White Jade Soup is actually a soup made of cabbage, spinach leaves, rotten tofu, and broken rice grains left over from the rice crust. Since Bai Yutang is the nickname used by Lao Bai to travel in Jianghu, his real name must be Bai Zhantang, and there is no such thing as changing his name because of Zhan Hongling. In fact, Bai Zhantang's name was written by a screenwriter who combined Bai Yutang, a golden retriever, and Zhan Zhao, a royal cat. In the play, neither Ji Wuming, who grew up, nor Bai Sanniang, who had not seen him for many years, called Lao Bai Bai Zhantang.
The second rumor is that the initial setting was changed to Bai Tong after Bai Guo CP.
This is misinformation. Bai Tong CP was Caishen Ning's official assignment from the beginning, but what changed was that Guo Furong was originally assigned to Yan Xiaoliu, but with the development of the plot, Caishen Ning said that the characters behind him chose Lv Xiucai. As for why some people will be convinced that this rumor is inappropriate, it is because the emotional line of Wulin rumor is very complicated. If you are not familiar with the details and plot only after reading it a few times, you will probably not understand it.
The second reason is the appearance of the characters.
There is a * * * eighty-one episode outside the Wulin, and the length is quite long. Journey to the West, as a childhood memory, gives people a very long impression. In fact, the sequel is only 4 1 episode. Therefore, when you are completely ignorant of the story, character and various details of the Wulin rumor, the standard for judging the incompatibility between two people will be completely placed on the appearance of the characters. At this time, your CP is actually not Bai Zhantang's CP, but Sha Yi's CP, and you don't know the characters of Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu, let alone Zhan Hongling, who doesn't have many episodes at all. So at this time, your CP is completely based on appearance. I have been there before, because I was like this at the beginning. When I was a child, my aesthetic was not fully mature. At that time, I also felt that Tong Xiangyu was too old compared with Bai Zhantang. Why didn't Laobai choose younger and more beautiful Zhu Wushuang, Guo Furong and Zhan Hongling?
Since we are talking about appearance, let's first look at the actors. Needless to say, although Sha Yi has become a fat man, he was really handsome when he was young. I was only 27 years old when I played the story of Wulin. Sha Yi's appearance should be in line with most people's aesthetics.
