The New Water Margin has been released again, and the domestic film crews are making the same mistakes again. Do foreigners have the habit of making the same mistakes? give some comfort

It’s not surprising that foreigners also have remakes and remakes. Every era has to have someone reinterpret the classics. But it’s hard to do well because preconceived notions can cause people to unfairly judge new interpretations. Therefore, if you really want to evaluate, you have to let go of your prejudices, evaluate carefully, record every good and bad thing, and make your remarks appear more professional.

China’s remakes of dramas are indeed becoming more frequent, and the only thing to blame is the limited quality of the Chinese themselves. First of all, the country does not have strong laws and regulations regulating the time limit and requirements for remakes of classic TV series; secondly, Chinese people now feel rich, and as soon as they have money, they want to overthrow everything that was originally done. If the original thing is not pleasing to the eyes, they must be replaced If you have money, rearrange your affairs. Don’t you see, it’s the same thing nowadays when people buy and replace cars as soon as they have money.

Let’s talk about the new drama.

There are many people who like the new Water Margin. But after experiencing New Three Kingdoms, New Red Mansions, and New Water Margin (New Westward Journey has not been released yet and I have not watched it), I finally had an epiphany.

I am a standard fan of the Three Kingdoms, so I spend the most time criticizing and criticizing the New Three Kingdoms. It is inevitable that I will lose fairness and criticize the New Three Kingdoms harshly.

I have not completely read the old version of Red Mansions, or even the book. I have read Li Shaohong’s new version of Red Mansions, and I think it is very beautiful and very good. However, my wife is a standard Red Mansions fan, and she is affected by it. I can’t appreciate the alternative creativity of the new Red House. Later, I calmed down and thought about it, and that’s right. If you haven’t seen it, you have no right to speak. I am a layman on Red Mansions. After seeing the new Red Mansions, I just saw it as literacy, so I approved of it. Just as there are countless young people who recognize the New Three Kingdoms, it is estimated that they have not read the book of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and have not even watched the old version of the Three Kingdoms series in full. They will jump out and blast the old Three Kingdoms. To support the New Three Kingdoms, it turned out that I wanted to use my voice to annihilate doubts about myself, and I had just finished literacy.

I have read the old version of Water Margin many times and read the book many times. But I have to admit that I have no feelings for Water Margin and it is a very mediocre movie. Therefore, I think my next evaluation of Water Margin should be fair.

I have only seen episode 28 so far, so let me talk about it.

Some people say that the actor who plays Lin Chong is terrible and intolerable. I don't think so. According to the record of "Water Margin": "The official had a leopard head with ring eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, eight feet in length and a body, thirty-four or five years old." Lin Chong's nickname "Leopard Head" just explains his It’s not a fair-faced young boy, he should be a macho guy. Personally, I think the casting for the role of Lin Chong is better than the old version. Tony Leung Ka Fai once played Lin Chong, which I thought was pretty good. He looks brave but is weak on the inside. Hu Bing's appearance is somewhat similar to Tony Leung Ka Fai's appearance. It was really unfair to say that Mrs. Lin was too old. According to Lin Chong's age and his personality, his wife should be over 30 years old. In ancient times, women usually married in their 10s, and women in their 30s were already very womanly. It is said that it is impossible for Yanei to fall in love with an old woman, but I say, Yanei is such a perverted thing. Is it strange that he likes a woman? Why do you, the judges, have to put yourself in someone else's shoes to experience the feelings and feel the injustice for the beast?

Some people say that "Water Margin" was not filmed exactly in the order in the book. I personally feel that it is basically loyal to the original work, and I only made some minor changes. Let’s not talk about whether the changes are good or not, but just the order of the story. We all know that the description method of "Water Margin" is biographical. One character talks about another after talking, and the intersection between them is relatively blunt. In the filming of TV movies, if these blunt parts are not processed, they will appear very abrupt. , therefore, on the premise that the story is clearly explained, it is a good shooting technique to change the order of appearance of certain scenes, straighten out the relationship between the characters, and increase the intersection between the characters.

To give a single example: In Episode 10, Lin Chong handled the scene with Coach Hong in Cangzhou Prison better than in the book. In the novel, Chai Daguan only heard the name of Coach Lin but never met him. As soon as he heard the name Lin Chong, he immediately respected him. It seemed a bit too simple.

Based on Chai Daguan's consistent behavior of recruiting talents in the world, it is inevitable that there will be people who pretend to be fake, and Chai Daguan should have been familiar with it for a long time. The treatment in the play is: when Lin Chong saw that Chai Jin had just entered the prison camp, he took the initiative to use his martial arts to attract Chai Jin's attention, and muttered something, which was the original text describing Chai Jin in the book. It was precisely because Chai Jin saw Lin Chong's self-performance that he believed that this person was indeed extraordinary and treated him with respect. This treatment was more reasonable.

Next, Chai Jin kept forcing Lin Chong to compete with Coach Hong. After Coach Hong lost, he did not hesitate to mobilize everyone to kill Lin Chong. Chai Jin even more embodies the thick blackness of a high-ranking official who cherishes talents. , describing Chai Jin, whose character is not outstanding in the book, vividly.

The part about the martial arts competition between Lin Chong and Coach Hong described in the book is relatively secular and emotionally dull. In the play, what Lin Chong originally said, "There are too many shackles, the power is lost" is transferred to Coach Hong's mouth, which further reflects that Coach Hong looks down on Lin Chong, and makes a good counterattack for Lin Chong, who has always been submissive and intolerable. The foreshadowing makes this story look more exciting than the original.

When it came to the Burning Forage Farm and the Fengxue Mountain Temple, Lin Chong's psychological changes all seemed reasonable, because of the foreshadowing of his character.

The filming of the series is relatively faithful to the original work. The makeup and props are all in place and the actors are basically consistent (I personally think that the actors of the three Ruan brothers are the best in the old version. Those three people are so similar. !) The switching between long and close shots is reasonable, and there is no abuse of slow motion. The special scene is characterized by the original description, and the characters' psychological monologues and narration are very reasonable.
