Chapter 208 Feedback on the premiere of "The Swordsman" on Tianya Forum

The plot of the original version of "Swordsman" is not bad, but it is messy, and it is very different from the original.

For example, it was Linghu Chong who opened the hotel with Yue Lingshan. Based on this alone, many of the following plots would be untenable. Forcibly completing it, it also violated the character's own personality, and felt awkward.

In addition, Linghu Chong directly became friends with Qu Yang, the elder of the Demon Cult. In the original book, Linghu Chong was a bit indiscriminate, but it also made some foreshadowing.

The foreshadowing of the TV series was a bit poor, almost directly putting Linghu Chong and Qu Yang in the same camp.

It is a bit similar to the results of the original work, and then deduce the plot. It is not advisable to do so. If the plot is not well prepared, it will appear blunt and have loopholes.

If the audience doesn't take it seriously, it's all right. If you take it seriously, check it out.

Cao Xuan fought wits with the bearded man before, and it was these loopholes that were corrected. Based on the original work, he and the screenwriters worked together, and the plots related to Linghu Chong were not to say that the logic was perfect, at least there were no obvious plot mistakes.

But it was only limited to Linghu Chong, Xu Qing's Ren Yingying did not have this treatment.

So, when Xia Yu saw Ren Yingying came out to chase Qu Yang in the play, and saw that she and Liu Zhengfeng were congenial, she softened her heart and let her go, her face full of confusion.

He had read the original novel of "Swordsman", and he knew Ren Yingying's setting.

It can't be said that she is not powerful, after all, she is a holy lady of the Demon Sect, and with a single order, hundreds of masters of the rivers and lakes follow her, and she can be regarded as a big sister of the underworld.

But Ren Yingying's personality is not so strong, and her martial arts are also powerful.

In fact, Ren Yingying's martial arts is not bad in the original book, but it's just not bad, and there is still a gap between the first-class masters in the original book.

Qu Yang is a dignified elder of the Devil's Sect, even in many film and television versions, he is the right guardian of the Devil's Sect, and directly competes with "Heavenly King Laozi" Xiang Wentian. Top of the list.

Not to mention Liu Zhengfeng, the second leader of the Hengshan Sect and the famous master of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, one-on-one, one-on-one, it is possible to enter the top ten.

When Ren Yingying came to chase them down, her strength was comparable to that of Xiang Wentian, perhaps even stronger than that of Xiang Wentian.

In the original work of "Swordsman", Xiang Wentian is a bit like the gatekeeper between the top and the first-class. If he wins, he is the top.

If Ren Yingying's combat power was comparable to Xiang Wentian's, it would be a hassle. The two teamed up to kill Xiang Xihu, rescue Ren Woxing, and fight Dongfang Bubai together...

Of course, the force value in the play is not as clear as that shown in the original work.

Ren Yingying slaughtered the masters of Wuyue Sword School like killing chickens for a while, and was besieged by a group of tricksters for a while, and almost died. Although it was due to off-court factors such as exhausting energy and caring for the wounded, it also meant to kill forcibly.

In fact, it was because Ren Yingying's initial force value was set too high, and many subsequent plots did not make sense, so she could only force the negative status to be reduced.

In fact, Cao Xuan talked with Xu Qing about the plot of Ren Yingying, and also persuaded her.

But I don't know if I dare not argue with the producer, or if I acquiesce that such a plot is good for me.

After all, from the perspective of the role, Ren Yingying's weight in the play is much more than that in the original work, and she is relatively "excellent". At least during the filming stage, watching the holy lady give orders to the next is very imposing.

How should I put it, Cao Xuan strongly suspected that Xu Qing and the screenwriter were all influenced by Brigitte Lin's Oriental Invincibility.

The heroic and domineering role of the leader of the Demon Cult, but also the soft and infatuated daughter is too catchy, and has become a classic in film history.

So much so that when the screenwriter and Xu Qing portrayed Ren Yingying, they consciously or unconsciously approached Lin Qingxia's version of Dongfang Bubai.

But these two roles are not a concept at all.

What is Ren Yingying? To put it bluntly, she is the mascot in Dongfang Bubai's hands. She uses Dongfang Bubai's name to bluff people, but in fact she doesn't believe in the Devil's Cult at all. She tries to save her father by herself, walking on thin ice carefully.

This woman is smart and tough, has her own goals, and even uses some extraordinary means for her goals.

Linghu Chong was originally her tool person, because of the ensemble of the piano and flute, a little affection developed, and after getting along with each other in daily life, experiencing various events and trials, she gradually fell in love with Linghu Chong, and willingly became her helper.

And Brigitte Lin's version of Dongfang Bubai is actually an invincible and lonely boss who plays games in the world and meets a boy with a bad temper, which moves his heart.

The character design and plot logic are wrong, and forced imitation can only be different.

But Xu Qing acquiesced, and Cao Xuan couldn't intervene to change her play. At that time, he felt that Xu Qing might become a hot spot when this play was broadcast.

This is not an exaggeration. In fact, Xu Qing has received a lot of criticism in Yuanshikong, but there is another Li Yapeng who has a better performance.

It can be said that Li Yapeng attracted more than 70% of the firepower alone, or even more, and the rest was the "pot" of others.

Now, Cao Xuan has optimized the plot of Linghu Chong, not to mention that he will not be scolded at all, but at least he will not become the main output point.

Without Linghu Chong in the way, it would be difficult for Ren Yingying...

It can also be seen from Xia Yu's expression that other plots are fine, as long as Ren Yingying's related plots, some places will frown.

The two episodes ended soon, and Yu Canghai started attacking the Fuwei Escort. Linghu Chong was ordered to go down the mountain to participate in the ceremony of washing hands in the golden basin.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yapeng filmed the original version of the latter part of the story, with an obviously smart expression on his face, and Tian Boguang seemed to be pretending to be stupid, and he was at his mercy.

Now that Cao Xuan is acting, it is more vivid and natural, Linghu Chong is smart, and Tian Boguang is not stupid.

Some original works mean that the weak fight against the strong, fighting wits and courage.

"what do you think."

Cao Xuan turned off the TV, and asked Xia Yu, after all, he is the Best Actor in Venice. Although he is full of moisture, his professional vision is not bad.

"I think this drama is good, Fu Huadao's acting is okay, the rhythm is also good, and the chance of becoming popular is very high."

"According to your good words, I invite you to dinner when it's hot."

"Listen to me, it's absolutely red."

The two held up the cups in their hands. Xia Yu was full of confidence, as if he was acting. Cao Xuan was not as blind as him, but he was quite confident.

.........

The next day, before Cao Xuan got out of bed, he received a call from Zhang Dahuzi.

"Cao Xuan, it's on fire. The ratings of the first broadcast averaged 9.1, ranking first in the same period, with a market share of more than 16%, ranking first in the same period. Our "Swordsman" is on fire."

Zhang Jizhong had a big beard and a loud voice. Cao Xuan's ears hurt from shouting a few words, so he took the phone a little farther away.

"Brother Zhang, calm down. Isn't this all expected? The key is word of mouth. Has any newspaper published an article?"

"I haven't seen it yet, I'll go take a look."

Big Beard Zhang hung up after finishing speaking, Cao Xuan was tickled by him, went to the kitchen to warm up a glass of milk, and turned on the computer to check what was going on online.

He didn't read the news on the portal website, but wanted to read the comments of real netizens, so he went straight to the Tianya forum.

As the most popular online forum nowadays, related film and television information, Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and Cao Xuan himself are all hot topics on this forum. When these elements are combined, there will definitely be no lack of topicality.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Xuan entered Tianya, there were several popular posts, the first one was——

Have you watched Cao Xuan's "Swordsman", how do you feel?Talk about your opinion? "

Cao Xuan glanced at it. The post was posted in the early morning of yesterday, and it has already been replied to several hundred floors this morning.

【sofa】

[It’s very good-looking, Cao Xuan is very, very, very handsome, why doesn’t he make more TV series]

[Upstairs nympho, identification completed]

[Filming so many TV dramas, how can I have time to sing, I still want to listen to his songs]

[Don't be crooked, this is a post discussing the drama "Swordsman"]

[I think Cao Xuan's acting is good, the part where he and Tian Boguang fight wits and courage is very interesting]

[I think it's normal, he is too handsome, the original Linghu Chong is not so handsome]

[It's worse than Lu Songxian, but much better than Ren Xianqi, Ren's version is really eye-catching]

[It's not worse than Lu Songxian at all, I think Lu Songxian is not good-looking]

[What kind of rubbish is this filmed? It's far worse than Xiangjiang's. The mainland doesn't understand martial arts at all.]

[As far as Xiangjiang understands, there is a small family spirit, and there are only two scenes back and forth, what to see]

[The standard of CCTV is nothing to say, the scenery, service, soundtrack, casting are all good, I like it]

[There are too few now, just wait and see]

[Ahhh, I missed it yesterday when I went out to play, can I watch it online? 】

[Martial arts moves are good, I am tired of those Hong Kong and Taiwan tricks, and I dare not fly very far with light kung fu]

[Who is good and who is bad can't say for the time being, but this version does have an atmosphere that is rarely seen in Hong Kong and Taiwan]

[Indeed, it has that kind of quack flavor, Linghu Chong appeared on the stage, fighting a sword in a bamboo forest with bamboo hats is too emotional]

[There is also the piano and flute ensemble, which in my heart is comparable to Xu Guanjie Wuma singing "A Laugh in the Sea" in the boat]

[Can't bear to look directly, one star for Cao Xuan]

[With a taste of the countryside, soil]

[Tu you ma, I get annoyed when I see this kind of stupid x]

[Others are not bad, but Xu Qing, you are sure that the filming is Ren Yingying, I thought it was Zhao Min, Zhao Min is not as good as her]

[Ren Yingying did change randomly, but Zhang Dazi still said not to change a single word, bah]

[Xu Qing is too old, but playing Ningzhong is about the same]

[This is too hurtful, but it is really old]

【(⊙o⊙) Wow, I think it looks pretty, why are you all so picky】

[Yes, although there are only two episodes, I think it is the best Linghu Chong in my heart, the best "Swordsman"]

[The evaluation upstairs is too high, but it is indeed the pinnacle of mainland martial arts dramas]

[It feels like watching a movie]

[Except for that Yu Canghai who can change his face, everything else is fine]

[I think the face-changing is quite unique, the combination of martial arts and acrobatics is very interesting]

[The artistic conception is extremely beautiful and the charm is long. This is the rivers and lakes of China. It is a bit like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Hong Kong and Taiwan are too limited, so I don't feel it]

【No matter what you say, I keep chasing anyway】

【…】

Cao Xuan read this hot post from the beginning to the end, and read all the hot posts of "Swordsman" from Tianya, which can basically be divided into four types.

Kua: Mostly, probably more than 60%, most of you are direct compliments, and a small half are affirmative, but you still pick some dissatisfaction.

Curse: Not much, about 15~20%, some don’t catch a cold at all, some feel that Hong Kong and Taiwan are not as good, some don’t like actors, some hate obedience, some are dissatisfied with the original works, and some are just Pure venting.

Fan rainbow fart: About 10%, basically all actors’ fans praise and praise, most of them are Cao Xuan’s fans, very few are other people.

Version opening group: mainly to argue about the advantages and disadvantages of the major versions, the main targets are Ren Xianqi and Lu Songxian last year, as well as Li Lianjie's movies.

This is basically an old topic of Jin Yong on the forum, every play and every book will be torn apart.

Ren Xianqi actually tore up a game last year, almost a one-sided massacre. Cao Xuan performed well, so the noise caused by it was far better than last year.

There is no way, each excellent version has a large number of loyal fans, since each other has different preferences, it is inevitable that they will be ranked high or low when they meet.

For the time being, Cao Xuan doesn't care about himself or Lu Songxian who is more classic, but pays more attention to the specific word of mouth.

Looking at it so far, the premiere feedback of "Swordsman" is generally positive, and there are also negative reviews, but the main output point is Xu Qing and shooting style.

Generally speaking, it is much better than the one-sided ridicule of Li Yapeng in the original time and space.

Cao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his efforts to optimize and modify "Swordsman" were not in vain, and he finally escaped...
