Why do everyone say that the New Three Kingdoms is not as good as the old Three Kingdoms? What's the specific difference?

The main reason is that the acting skills of the actors are not as good as those of the old Three Kingdoms, such as Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Gong. The image of the old Three Kingdoms is deeply ingrained in my mind, and the new remakes are not as good as the old version, and they have not surpassed it.

In the New Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei was a thug, Cao Cao was a ruffian, Zhuge Liang cried all day long, Guan Yu's phoenix eyes turned into slits, Ma Chao became a savage bear, and Sima Yi had shawl hair, let's not talk about it for now. The actors' appearance is different, and everyone's performance is very traced. Logically speaking, so many well-known actors should not be like this. It is really strange that no one is pleasing to the eye, and no one performs well, but when I think about it, this There's nothing wrong with that. The director and screenwriter didn't understand the script thoroughly at all. This is reflected in the choice of Zhang Fei as an actor and the character traits in the play. The director doesn't know much about Zhang Fei as a character. He only knows that he is reckless and rude, but Being reckless does not mean being stupid, and being rude does not mean scolding everyone when you meet him. Especially since he has two dimples, he has a somewhat charming look, which is quite funny. In short, the root of the problem lies in the director and screenwriter's inadequate understanding of the Three Kingdoms, not the actors.

Comparison from the aura of the actors

Liu Bei:

Liu Bei of the New Three Kingdoms seems to have the aura of a villain, and there will always be times when he will If you betray you or your companions, he will always be wary of you.

Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms was a simple and honest loyal minister who supported the Han Dynasty. "Cry, run" is performed

Guan Yu:

Guan Yu in the New Three Kingdoms feels like he is always half asleep and half awake, and his body does not have the aura of a general.

Guan Yu from the Lao San Kingdom is a man who can stand alone and look murderous even when squinting from the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Fei:

Zhang Fei of the New Three Kingdoms is a local bully. In other words, he is not much different from Guanxi.

Although Zhang Fei from the Old Three Kingdoms is a bully, his impulsive and loyal temperament is more perfect

Lu Bu

From the New Three Kingdoms Lu Bu always gives people a feeling that he is handsome and childish, but there is no one man who can control everything.

Although Lu Bu in the old Three Kingdoms is not as handsome as the new Three Kingdoms, his momentum and arrogance are completely the same as that of a man. The perfect performance of "When the Pass is Passed"

Cao Cao

Although Cao Cao in New Three Kingdoms shows Cao Cao's cunning, the inner portrayal always feels a bit understated. Especially when I was asked to let the people of the world down, I couldn’t let the people of the world let me down. I couldn’t control my performance at that time

Cao Cao of the Lao Three Kingdoms was very good at handling small positions, especially when he cried for Guo Jia and Dian Wei. Speaking from the heart, the listener feels that being beaten by Shang He is more like

Zhuge Liang

Zhuge Liang in the New Three Kingdoms is handsome and has nothing but playing the piano and reading books. The camera shows bookishness, but nothing else.

The performance of Zhuge Liang in the Old Three Kingdoms is really that he is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, which is an unfathomable feeling. Zhuge Liang just needs to always have some sense of mystery

The new Water Margin is not as well filmed as the old Water Margin!

Not only were the actors chosen poorly in New Three Kingdoms, but the costume design was also far from good. It seems that history has not been studied carefully!

Who on earth would ask such a question? Do you still need to be specific? Not bad at all? Lu Bu’s father-in-law was changed to an old cousin. What do you think? Why did Lu Bu and Diao Chan fall in love? Zhang Fei flipped Zhuge Liang's table? Is it necessary to focus on describing Lu Su as a soy sauce character? Guan Yu fought Xiahou Dun, did Guan Yu have the upper hand? Also, where is General Dian Wei? Where is the Battle of Puyang? Where is the Battle of Rangshan? Where is the Battle of Hefei? Where is Meng Huo after he was captured seven times? Where is the Nine Expeditions in the Central Plains?

I don’t want to say more, but I would like to say that the fault is not with the actors, but with the director who chose the wrong person. For example, Chen Jianbin was a very suitable person to play Zhang Fei, but the director gave him the role of Cao Cao, so he It became a joke. Cao Cao was a military strategist, politician, and writer. However, the New Three Kingdoms let these reckless men with no background perform the roles. These actors completely lacked understanding of the characters in their minds. How can they not be difficult to perform? Generally speaking, Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang, Cao Cao's Tongquetai, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu and even Sima Yi, which one is not specious. The result has to be judged by others.

The only thing about the New Three Kingdoms that surpasses the old Three Kingdoms is Zhao Yun’s casting! The other three countries are all three trillion light years away!

Actors, acting skills

I think there are several main reasons why the New Three Kingdoms is not as good as the Old Three Kingdoms.

First, the selection of the main actors is indeed not as good as the old version. The old version of Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Cao Cao are all classics, and they are not outdated even now, but the new version is even worse. The new version does not include Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Cao Cao. It's a pity that it breaks through the old version. In fact, when watching Three Kingdoms, the main thing is to watch the actors, because the plot is known, and the audience just wants to see who can act realistically. The old version of Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, and Guan Yu feels like it is real.

Secondly, the theme song of the old version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also good. The rolling Yangtze River east of the historical sky and so on are still popular today. It can be said that there are still many people on major variety shows who have endured for a long time. I can imitate it, but the new version doesn’t work. I can’t understand the theme song and no one can remember it. This is the biggest criticism.

Thirdly, the new version of the Three Kingdoms often contains common sense errors, and some plots are adapted very unreasonably. For example, Wu State general Zu Mao was obviously killed very early when he and Sun Jian fought against Dong Zhuo, but the new version of the Three Kingdoms He was mentioned several times during the Battle of Red Cliff. I don’t know if it was intentional or the director did it intentionally. He was also deliberately highlighted as a genius when Sun Quan was a child. Wait, in short, there are many adaptation failures in New Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

However, the war scenes in the New Three Kingdoms are well designed, which makes up for the regrets of the old version. It would be perfect if the war scene design in the New Three Kingdoms could be combined with the actors in the old version of the Three Kingdoms. Now the actors who played Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao and Guan Yu in the old version of Three Kingdoms are still young, and I really look forward to the day when they will work together to play the Battle of Red Cliff.
