Zhang Yishan didn't play Wei Xiaobao well, why was he played by Jordan Chan into a classic?

There are few Douban scores that are as ups and downs as a martial arts plot like Zhang Yishan's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron": from an opening score of 2.7, to 2.6, 2.5, and then back to 2.6. Don’t underestimate this 0.1. The current record holder for Jin Yong’s drama “New Swordsman” on Douban is 2.5 and 0.1, which can be considered as avoiding the fate of being at the bottom.

As if predicting the future, in an interview before the series started airing, Zhang Yishan talked about his acting skills and said that he should never be regarded as a particularly good actor, "I also have times when I don't act well."

p>

Wei Xiaobao, probably when Zhang Yishan didn’t perform well.

Zhang Yishan said, "Actually, the style of our show has moved towards cartoons and comedy, so there will be some changes in the way of acting. Sometimes it will be more freehand and less grounded. These are all creative techniques. , People and things must respect the original work.”

I don’t know why, but I always feel that what Zhang Yishan is talking about seems to be the 1998 version of "The Deer and the Cauldron".

That version’s score of 8.8 also surpassed the 5.6 of Huang Jiaozhu’s version, the 6.4 of Han Dong’s version, the 7.5 of Tony Leung’s version, and even Mr. Jin Yong’s personal seal of “not the second choice” With a score of 8.2, Wang Jing's version of Starring Starring has ranked first in the film and television version of "The Deer and the Cauldron". Considering the deteriorating quality of domestic martial arts remakes, perhaps this will be the number one forever.

The leading actor in this version is Chen Xiaochun.

Lord Wei was originally not in Jordan Chan's turn. At that time, Li Tiansheng had successfully created such classics as Lu Songxian's version of "The Swordsman" and Louis Koo and Li Ruotong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Chen Haomin's version of "Dragon" won Huang Rihua the title of TV drama. The remaining film "The Deer and the Cauldron" has been debated internally by TVB internally.

Huang Rihua was the first choice, and Jordan Chan was not included in the big list. You must know that Li Tiansheng's first time filming "The Deer and the Cauldron", Wei Xiaobao was played by Tony Leung, and Kangxi was played by Andy Lau. The rule for TVB martial arts dramas back then: the protagonist must be a handsome guy. How handsome is that? Refer to Louis Koo, whose appearance is not good enough.

As a result, Chen Xiaochun, who had nothing to do with Shuai, came to recommend himself. After some words, he was so impressed by Li Tiansheng, that is, a popular ace producer like Li Tiansheng, that he could open the back door for him and shoot two episodes first. Nowadays, there is no way for capital to talk about matters.

Jordan Chan immediately went to ask Lau Ching-wan for advice. The two had just co-starred in "Stormtroopers" directed by Chen Musheng in 1996. As a result, Liu Qingyun was confused: Why do you want me to play Wei Xiaobao? Of course it’s Stephen Chow!

Chen Xiaochun came to visit seven times, and Master Xing gave Chen Xiaochun four words: ghost, play, and crazy.

A classic begins here.

From 1998 to now, 22 years have passed in the blink of an eye. I don’t know why, but I gradually got a feeling: At that time, I felt that Jordan Chan looked like Wei Xiaobao. After 22 years, I actually felt that Jordan Chan looked more and more like Wei Xiaobao.

To talk about Chen Xiaochun’s version of Wei Xiaobao, we must first talk about one person.

Judging from the Douban ratings, the TVB version has overall higher ratings than the mainland version, especially the series of Jin Yong dramas remade by Li Tiansheng.

Regardless of the costume props or scene special effects, those works are absolutely incomparable with current domestic dramas. But the win lies in the casting.

In 1984, when Tony Leung was still hosting a children's program, he was suddenly approached by Li Tiansheng and Johnnie To to play the male lead. What kind of show? "The Deer and the Cauldron".

Many years later, Li Tiansheng said in an interview: "Tony Leung's plays were the most delicate among the 'Five Tiger Generals' at that time. This actor is really rare. There are not many actors who can act with such delicateness. This There should be no other person who can portray the character as vividly as him.”

Producer Li, don’t speak too soon.

In the 1990s, TVB fully restarted the filming of Jin Yong dramas. In 1994's "The Condor", the casting choices of Julian Cheung and Zhu Yin were average, but Li Yaoxiang, who played Zhou Botong, was impressive. Years later, this late-blooming actor would win two TV awards with the "Heroes" series produced by Li Tiansheng.

95 "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is recognized as the most classic version. When news spread that Louis Koo had been in jail, Li Tiansheng insisted not to change roles. In the end, even simple productions such as plastic cosplay waterfalls and people pretending to be giant eagles cannot cover up the brilliance of this show.

The 1996 "Swordsman" was even more incredible. Halfway through the episode, Jin Yong sent an autographed plaque to TVB and said:

"He (Lu Songxian) has the same kind of personality as Linghu Chong." His eyes and expressions are unpretentious, independent, and unfettered. His personality is very similar to Linghu Chong's."

However, among the series of Jin Yong martial arts dramas produced by Li Tiansheng, his most satisfying work is every Song and Liao show. There were only a dozen extras in the 1997 "Dragon Movie".

But this drama created Qiao Feng, a man with his own BGM, and Chen Haomin played Duan Yu as a newcomer, and he is still reaping the role bonuses.

Until 1998's "The Deer and the Cauldron", Tony Leung was in front, but Li Tiansheng couldn't choose anyone.

At this moment, Jordan Chan learned from future Laughing brother Xie Tianhua that "The Deer and the Cauldron" was casting, and ran to Li Tiansheng to recommend himself.

He revealed an embarrassing story that looked very similar to Wei Xiaobao's, and repeatedly insisted that Wei Xiaobao was a grassroots person. The key is - "Except for not having seven wives, isn't Wei Xiaobao me?"

"The Deer and the Cauldron" " is Jin Yong's last full-length martial arts novel. Wei Xiaobao seems to be a joke played by Jin Yong on the temple and the world. Through the life of a cynical "little gangster", he made fun of the entire world. Of all the characters in Jin Yong's novels, no one is more grounded than Wei Xiaobao.

And Chen Xiaochun’s down-to-earth spirit comes from his bones. It is a kind of human spirit that has been experienced at the bottom.

I still remember the first episode of Dad's variety show. He said to Jasper, "I used to live in this kind of house."

Chen Xiaochun was born in Hong Kong, China, in 1967. His father was a farmer who came to Hong Kong from Guangdong around 1960, and his mother was a local. The two met while working on a construction site. After getting married, they gave birth to four brothers and sisters, Chen Xiaochun. People live in tiny public housing. The younger brother was sold to someone else for 3,000 yuan.

Because his family background was so poor, he dropped out of junior high school after only one year. His father threw him into the countryside, where he worked in the fields and herded cattle...

Like Wei Xiaobao, he His father is almost absent, but he and his mother have a very good relationship.

His father was very strict with him because there were four brothers and sisters in the family. When he was a child, his father was afraid that he would run out for fun and chained his feet.

One day when he was about twelve or thirteen years old, his father took him to have morning tea. When he came back, he whispered to him: "From now on, this family will be handed over to you." Then his father returned to his hometown in Guangdong, and the burden of supporting the family became his. It fell on the eldest son, Chen Xiaochun.

He dropped out of school and went to work odd jobs at his father's former construction site. During the day, his hands were pricked with wooden thorns when he worked. At night, when his mother came home from washing dishes, she picked them out for him by the faint light, crying while picking them.

Jordan Chan said, "At that time, I felt that my mother was so great, and I didn't feel bitter at all."

When he was sixteen years old, Chan Xiaochun left his mother and came to the prosperous Causeway Bay alone to make a living.

Many years later, the dialogue in a Hong Kong film will become the memory of the entire generation born in the 1980s: Causeway Bay, Ho Nam.

But at that time Brother Haonan’s good brother was still giving people haircuts. But Teacher Tony’s job is amazing. Andy Lau and Chen Xiaochun all became popular after changing jobs from this job.

Where to go? TVB.

Once a customer came to Jordan Chan's shop to get his hair done, saying that he was going to participate in a TVB talent show. He got excited after hearing this, because his greatest childhood pleasure was imitating Michael Jackson’s moonwalk.

In this way, in 1985, with his flexible skills and cool appearance, Chen Xiaochun was admitted to the Wireless Dance Artist Training Class and received a monthly salary of 700 Hong Kong dollars.

After a rehearsal, Alan Tam patted him on the back and said, "You danced well, come on!" He also recommended him to Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung.

Chen Xiaochun, who was praised by superstars for being ignorant of the north, south, east and west, would not know that many years later, he would appear on a mainland music variety show - "Our Song" with the principal.

But you have to create opportunities yourself.

The turning point of fate occurred at Ellen Lam's concert celebration. Jordan Chan lost the game and was coaxed to perform on stage.

He sang a song of "Flowers in the Water" by Alan Tam, which amazed Lin Yilian. He made a wish with a star factory owner in the audience, a musical talent who had been in love with Li Lizhen, that in the future he would write a series of classics for a Hong Kong film classic series. Theme songs and interludes, the most famous one is called "Friendship Years".

Chen Xiaochun, who was favored by Make a Wish, bid farewell to his career as a backup dancer and formed the "Wind and Fire Sea" boy band with Xie Tianhua and Zhu Yongtang.

This group was originally launched to compete with Grasshopper, but watching their stage performance, you can probably understand why it died out so quickly.

What should I do if I can’t sing? Act and make some money.

Back then, Hong Kong people loved to read a set of cartoons about Jianghu characters. The author was called Niu Lao. Many of the big guys in Jianghu movies were called "Brother Dong". Niu Lao specially chose the word "nan" and took it from himself. The character "Hao" was chosen from the company, and together, the protagonist is called Haonan.

In April 1992, the first issue of the comic was published, with final sales of 17,400 copies. Since then, it has been climbing, reaching more than 40,000 copies per week.

In 1994, new director Liu Weiqiang accidentally saw the comic and tried every means to contact the author Niu Lao to buy the rights to make a movie. Who should he choose to play the protagonist Haonan? Ekin Cheng who just became famous.

The famous Zhu Yongtang and Xie Tianhua were chosen to play his brothers.

Only Jordan Chan was left out, and Jordan Chan was very unhappy. After all, his first movie "9 to 5" won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

After making a wish, I called the crew and said I would give Jordan Chan any role. Jordan Chan went to the interview and got the most famous role in his life besides Wei Xiaobao. The original starring role was Takeshi Kaneshiro.

If it were really Kaneshiro Wuyan, it’s hard to say whether the movie would be a hit or not.

But when Jordan Chan came to act, he acted as a stepping stone for his future participation in "The Deer and the Cauldron".

In the autumn of 1995, the young man Chen Xiaochun was once busy with traffic on the streets of Causeway Bay, where a group of young people dressed in black followed an older brother and prepared to jump across the road.

At this time, a police car came in the middle of the road. After several police officers got out of the car, they controlled the men in black on the spot.

The leader is Chen Xiaochun.

Jordan Chan quickly explained to the police: "Sir, we are filming a movie. Look, there are many cameras shooting around."

How can there be so many cameras and the cost of the movie? Limited, the action scenes are all moving shots, shot by director and cinematographer Liu Weiqiang.

The police looked at the young man with a ruffian look and tightened their control.

Liu Weiqiang was having so much fun filming on the side. He slowly came closer with a camera and took a complete picture of Chen Xiaochun being controlled. This story later became a joke.

This film, which is currently being filmed, will be released during the Spring Festival in 1996 and will shock the Hong Kong film industry.

In the place called Jianghu in the story, there are beauties, dragons and tigers fighting, good and evil are rewarded, life and death are determined. There is also faith, morality, bloodshed, and brotherhood.

The entire movie had a limited cost, and even the look of the pheasant in the movie was taken care of by Jordan Chan himself. "In the first episode, I dye my hair, in the second episode, I go bald, in the third episode, I wear a hat, and in the fourth and fifth episodes, it's normal. I think the styling helps (the character), and I feel quite proud."

On January 25, 1996, this film called "People in the Jianghu" was released. On the poster of that year, Ekin Cheng and Jordan Chan were seen wearing different shapes of "guys", with the noisy Causeway Bay night market behind them. The slogan on the poster clearly read "Yau Tsim Mong is the biggest, and the heroes of Causeway Bay are undefeated".

Except for Ekin Cheng, who is slightly famous, the other three starring actors are all unknown newcomers. No one was optimistic about this film before it was released. After the premiere, a senior film industry veteran said to producer Wang Jing mercilessly: How could this kind of film become so popular?

On the night of the release, Liu Weiqiang was not sure, so he took the leading actors to eat supper near the theater. Until I suddenly received a call from Wang Jing: Come over quickly and watch, the box office is sold out!

The film became a hit throughout Hong Kong that night, eventually earning more than 21 million at the box office.

Andy Lau immediately decided to make a sequel. The film became so popular suddenly that Ekin Cheng had no schedule at all. The starring role in the second film was replaced by Jordan Chan. Lau Weiqiang and Wen Jun wrote while filming. The entire movie was shot in only 11 days.

In the same year, "Way of the Dragon" was released, and its box office exceeded that of the first film, and it flowed into the mainland along with the era of pirated discs.

After this movie, each of the characters in the movie became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Haonan, Pheasant, Liangkun, Xiaoba...

Gigi Lai said taking to the streets Some people call her "sister-in-law". Zhu Yongtang said that strangers always pay the bill when going to bars. Charmaine Sheh still looks nymphomaniacal when she collaborates with Ekin Cheng many years later: Who didn't want to be Ho-nam's woman back then?

Chen Xiaochun's dialogue - "It doesn't matter whether I am from Hongxing or not, the important thing is that Chen Haonan will always be my eldest brother." made him synonymous with loyalty.

He won the Academy Award for his role as "Pheasant Brother". After taking the stage, the host asked him to give an acceptance speech. He only said coldly: "There is nothing to say, thank you to the whole world."

Everyone thinks that the movie theme song "Years of Friendship" is a song by Jordan Chan. In fact, the original singer is Ekin Cheng, but Jordan Chan's version is more vicissitudes of life, full of flesh and blood, and the momentum in it does not mean that he must kill anyone with a knife. , just reminds me of what Liu Weiqiang said, you don’t need many people to shoot Jianghu, just a lighter.

After this drama, Jordan Chan was qualified to win a role for himself, and this role was Wei Xiaobao.

There is no doubt that Jordan Chan passed the test of Li Tiansheng's pilot episode.

This is also Li Tiansheng's second remake of "The Deer and the Cauldron".

In TVB in the 1990s, even large-scale productions such as Jin Yong's dramas could only save money. There were no big scenes and the production was not sophisticated. Aobai Mansion was the same as the current Zhang Yishan version, with "Ao" Mansion".

But even in simple scenes, Li Tiansheng can always shoot a strong Jianghu atmosphere, making the audience feel deeply involved.

Moreover, the series does not drag on and is fast-paced. It won't be too fast and mindless.

Moreover, there were a lot of wireless talents back then, and all the supporting roles and even the extras were miraculously high-performing throughout the whole show!

Wei Xiaobao’s seven wives each have their own styles and personalities: Liang Xiaobing’s version of A Ke is still at the top of the list of wives in The Deer and the Cauldron.

Li Tiansheng also gave the story a comedic treatment. He had no money to shoot big scenes, so he used cartoon techniques to express the character's heart. The story of outsmarting Oboi, resolving the emperor's crisis, and teasing Wu Sangui was filmed all the way, with laughter and tears, and it was full of entertainment.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Xiaochun, who volunteered to join the group, has his own interpretation method for character creation. He is his own style and cannot be copied by others. However, he accidentally created the most flattering Wei Xiaobao in history. In the play, Sir Wei laughs, curses, and is a mischievous spirit, as if he jumped out of the page.

But Li Tiansheng, who filmed Wei Xiaobao for the second time, actually has a deeper understanding of Jin Yong’s characters than all the main creators. On the surface, Wei Xiaobao is a scoundrel and does things only for two things, money and women. Do your best to be cunning.

But in fact, he has been listening to heroic stories in storytelling since he was a child, and the most important thing is loyalty.

Jordan Chan injected a lot of emotion into the character. When he got angry at Kangxi at the end of the play: Everything I did was not for you. The audience was as speechless as Xiao Xuanzi.

It was Chen Xiaochun's performance that made the audience believe that Chen Xiaochun was evil. "The Deer and the Cauldron", which has been the most revised movie in history, can be played no matter how you play it, just because of Jordan Chan's deeply emotional performance.

Thinking back, why does Jin Yong love Stephen Chow’s version of the lead the most, Li Tiansheng loves Tony Leung’s version the most, but the audience loves this version of Jordan Chan the most? Probably because this character is most in line with the Chinese people's belief in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Among the rivers, lakes and temples, Wei Xiaobao's love and care for his family and brothers shine brightly.

Don’t take “ideology” too complicatedly. This is ideological.

To put it bluntly, making a work is not that complicated, just give the audience a reason to follow it. Li Tiansheng and Jordan Chan gave the audience this reason.

The theme song of the series "The All-powerful Celebrity" is sung by Jordan Chan, "The little hooligan becomes the all-powerful celebrity, and the love in the world, let's talk about the love back then."

And the all-powerful celebrity will have to Marry A Ke.

Just as Chen Xiaochun himself thinks, the biggest difference between him and Wei Xiaobao is: Wei Xiaobao has seven wives, and he only has one.

For a long time, emotionally, he was said to be Cecilia Cheung's backup.

When Cecilia Cheung was asked about her relationship with Jordan Chan on "Kangxi Is Coming", she always emphasized that they were good friends, but Jordan Chan was very loyal to this good friend. After the incident, he accompanied Cecilia Cheung on vacation to relax, and even What kind of thing is it to publicly scold Mr. Chen?

During that time, Chen Xiaochun's temper was not really good. There is also a nickname: Lonely Han City.

Before meeting Ying Cai'er, Ying Cai'er knew that Jordan Chan was notoriously stingy.

But fate is so wonderful. Wei Xiaobao chased each of the seven wives in "The Deer and the Cauldron", especially A Ke, who chased them to the sky and the earth with great effort.

But in reality, it is Ying Cai'er who has played A Ke, and she is chasing Jordan Chan.

But those who were chased did not feel confident.

I didn’t dare to propose marriage, so I brought many brothers to the door to embolden me. She fell to her knees and wanted to say something but nothing came out. She kept crying until Ying Cai'er's father joked, "If you are so sad, I will marry you."

When I got married, I signed a letter of guarantee, which was very practical: I will hand over my income to you every month, and you will be able to control my pocket money. I'm responsible for paying for the building's water and electricity bills. You can buy whatever famous brand you want. The most important thing is that you like it. I will take care of the housework at home, and you can have a boy or a girl as long as you want...

The last sentence: Baby, I love you.

Okay, the pheasant character has collapsed.

There is no way to save it after it collapses. Ying Cai'er said that when Jasper was born, Jordan Chan was performing out of town. When he heard the news that her amniotic water had broken, he was so nervous that he stuttered, and then immediately flew back.

As soon as I entered the operating room and saw the blood, my legs were so frightened that I felt weak, but I still pretended to be calm and kept holding my wife's hand to comfort her.

A live clip from a concert a few years ago was exposed again: when Jordan Chan, who sang with a serious face throughout the whole process, sang "I want to make sure that I hold the same arms every day, there is no need to choose us to be successful", Ying Cai'er He stood up excitedly and gestured to his lover.

Then this aloof man suddenly laughed like a licking dog. Thinking about it, it seems like Wei Xiaobao again.

After so long, looking back, I suddenly feel that Jordan Chan is becoming more and more like Xiaobao.

In the past, we were like each other in the movie, but now we are similar outside the movie. His character, experience, and life trends all seem to fit well with Wei Xiaobao.

For example, they were all naughty and frivolous when they were young. Later, a series of misguided efforts led to fame and fortune.

In the end, both of them married "Ake".

But if you look carefully, it’s actually more than that.

During Jordan Chan's concert in Taiwan, China last year, he smiled and announced to the fans in the audience that his wife was pregnant with a second child and he was going to be a father again. Cai'er Ying and Jasper in the audience looked at their father on the stage and laughed.

However, there was a lot of fun inside the venue, but outside the venue, there were many police cars parked outside the concert gate and the hotel where Jordan Chan was staying.

Outside the concert venue, someone used paint to write curses on Jordan Chan on the wall.

Because Jordan Chan strongly supported the Hong Kong police in previous incidents, he became a thorn in the side of some people. He received another death threat before the concert. But let Xiaobao be convinced, unless it is Haonan and Jinnan. What a coincidence, Ekin Cheng has acted in both.

As a result, not only did his concert go on as scheduled, but he also continued to repost his patriotic declaration, which means he was positive.

Jordan Chan once said: "After 1997, I told others that I am Chinese. I don't like others calling me a Hong Kong actor. I am a Chinese actor!"

Faced with intimidation and threats, he said, "I was not shocked."

Thinking about it, this seems to be the other side of Sir Wei. Although deception and abduction are omnipotent, if you think about it carefully, Think about it, in "The Deer and the Cauldron", did Lord Wei ever disgrace the Chinese people? No, not at all.

Those screenwriters who regard Wei Xiaobao as a scoundrel got it wrong from the beginning. Think about it, what is Wei Xiaobao saying in the opening? storytelling.

What is in storytelling can be understood by ordinary people, which is loyalty, filial piety, justice, loyalty to brothers, and the same to family and country. How could such a person be a scammer?

There is a dialogue in the movie "Friendship Years": "If someone sees Pheasant in the future and still thinks that Pheasant is a cynical, lecherous person, you don't know Pheasant at all. .

"

After Zhang Yishan's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" came out, Ma Junwei stood up and called for no need to compare. Every actor acted with heart, and encouraged the new generation of actors.

This encouragement, of course If you have the intention, the fault of the new version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" cannot be the fault of the actor alone. To put it another way, how many Jin Yong dramas in the traffic era really satisfy the audience?

But Zhang Yishan can't play Wei Xiaobao well. It's not without reason.

Back then, when Chen Xiaochun noticed that there were flies in the dishes while the guests were eating, the boss slapped Chen Xiaochun twice and asked him to eat the flies.

< p> Also at the eating place, Zhang Yishan, who became famous at a young age, went out to eat at McDonald's and was blocked by a group of people signing autographs. Later, when he went there, he could only hide in a corner and eat secretly.

For Wei Xiaobao's background. For such a humble role, the two people's understanding of the role is destined to be different. More importantly, some actors and this role seem to have a destiny, as if there is some kind of connection.

Just like Wei Xiaobao, after the glorious years passed, all the stories remained in the wandering years.

One year at the Academy Awards, Lin Xiaofeng, Nicholas Tse, Jordan Chan, Ekin Cheng, and Qian Jiale were in the same frame. These five people almost have their own BGM. As soon as they appear, the whole screen is full of youth and worldliness. At the award ceremony, Xie Tianhua also teased Ekin Cheng, "If he grows his hair long and sings a few songs, he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life." "Twenty years later, the five of them have also made movies. There are many scenes such as explosions, car chases, and firefights. They are very exciting and the box office is not bad.

But when the movie was released, there was an interesting comment on Douban: "Are they still the ones holding the gun?"

Today's Jordan Chan is considered the most popular among the five, fifty. The three-year-old is acting and appearing in music and variety shows, his voice is neither broken nor hoarse, and his breath is full. Singing with GAI, GAI can't take advantage.

But the tough guy is still at the age where he misses those days.

In the late 1980s, he worked as a backup dancer for Anita Mui and toured various places. Mei Gu was arranged by the staff to fly in first class, but after the plane took off, she would move to economy class and sit with the dancers.

Jordan Chan recalled: "Superstar has no airs at all, is not condescending, and is very peaceful. That is the real superstar. In the past, there were kings and superstars, are they still there now?"

Chen Xiaochun is a nostalgic person. After becoming famous, he did not pursue a luxurious life. He renovated the old house where he once lived and thought it was very good.

For this kind of old-school person, family always comes first.

After marrying Ying Caier, he even took her back to his hometown in Guangdong. Firecrackers are set off in the countryside, flowing banquets are set up, and villagers are invited to have a wedding banquet together. It reminds me of Lord Wei's glorious return to his hometown.

When his parents were still alive, he built a house for his father in the countryside for his retirement, and lived in a good house with his mother. CCTV organized a selection of the top ten filial sons in the entertainment industry. In the second session in 2008, Jordan Chan won the award. When I went on stage to give my speech, I burst into tears.

Because Chen’s mother died of cancer in 2005. In order to treat his mother's illness, Chen Xiaochun visited famous doctors all over the country -

"I just want to extend my mother's life a little longer'"

It has been many years since his parents passed away, and every time they mentioned it, My parents couldn't stop crying. I felt that I "didn't do a good job and didn't do enough."

Even if I gave it all to him, it wouldn't be enough. Because he left.

When he became a father and appeared on parent-child variety shows, he acted very reserved towards Jasper. Until one time, his son was asked, "Are you afraid that your father will grow old?" The child who was not good at expressing kept shaking his head and said, "No. , I don’t want my father to grow old,” and finally ran into his father’s arms.

The camera turned to Chen Xiaochun, and the tough guy had tears in his eyes.

When I see this, I always feel that this is why Jordan Chan can perform the things that Wei Xiaobao has in his heart. In other words: How could such a person not be able to play Wei Xiaobao well?

But that era has passed after all, just like Wei Xiaobao later, one day he no longer rebels and returns to the life of daily necessities.

The coolest group of people back then. They are all getting older, and the peerless beauty back then is also getting older, and everything seems like a world away.

Times and people are changing too fast. This is true for hero movies, and it is also true for Jin Yong dramas.

When Jin Yong's drama becomes the only "selling point" of the drama, and the curiosity to see which actor plays which role replaces the charm of the plot itself, who is still interested in watching it from beginning to end?

Even for this year's best-rated new adaptation of "Yi Tian", the audience's praise for the appearance of Chen Yuqi (played as Zhao Min) and Zhu Xudan (played as Zhou Zhiruo) is far higher than the discussion of acting skills.

Among the new generation of viewers, who really cares about the world?

In the past, when Li Tiansheng filmed Jin Yong dramas, he had nothing to ask for, and the budget was only so big. The dramas were all shot on a film and television street, but you felt that the world was huge and there were countless chivalrous and heroic feelings. The martial arts world they built carries the memories of several generations.

Today’s scenes are so much more luxurious, and the budget is more than ten times more, but no matter how grand the scene is and how high the budget is, it can’t cover up the missing Jianghu flavor.

Because what is missing in the play is probably injecting soul into the characters. When they put on costumes, some of them look like great sages, but none of them are real knights.

After all, the world described by Mr. Jin Yong is long gone. What young people of this generation yearn for is not martial arts, but superheroes.

The world no longer exists, Mr. Jin Yong has gone west, gold medal producer Li Tiansheng announced his retirement, and the prodigal son has returned to his family. Jordan Chan said, "There are many things in life that I really don't have a choice about, such as childhood and debut." It’s not easy. Now you ask me if I feel miserable, but I feel good. I can only say that I have no choice. At least it seems that it is bitter first and then sweet.”

For Sir Wei and Jordan Chan, this seems to be the best ending again.

The best era of martial arts has passed, but at least the years of friendship between Jianghu and Jianghu are still worth remembering.
