Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 189 The ratings are excellent, but the response is not good

January 01, 26, the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Lao Li went upstairs with a steaming casserole. Li Tang quickly put on the cassette stove, turned on a low heat, and put the casserole on it to simmer slowly.

The father and son guarded a family portrait casserole, with some cold dishes on the side, and had a drink with each other.

"Father, Nong said it would be great if Aunt Xiao and Xiao Xiao could be brought over earlier, because there will be a lot of excitement (lively) during the Chinese New Year."

Lao Li and Aunt Xiao have had a substantial relationship for a long time, but it has been more than a year and they are still hanging on like this. Li Tang is worried about his father.

"Oh, didn't you tell me about cutting for you a long time ago, and I will talk about it after Xiao Xiao graduates from high school and is admitted to university. Why don't you come over to pay homage to your ancestors during the Chinese New Year?" Lao Li explained.

On this point, he had already reached a consensus with Aunt Xiao.

But Li Tang said: "It's all about an old ancestor, so what's the matter?"

"Don't be blind. In your (grandpa's) generation, you are already far away, so you should stop dating a long time ago." Lao Li said with a straight face.

Speaking of which, the surname Li is a common surname in the hometown, and Aunt Xiao’s deceased ex-husband was also surnamed Li, so she is still in the same family as her own, but Lao Li said that he has not been in touch since Grandpa Li Tang’s generation, which means that he has been out for a long time. I took five servings.

Li Tang said with a smile, "That's right, otherwise it wouldn't be nice to hear about your uncle getting together with your widowed brother and daughter-in-law."

"Nong smashed a small house, no matter how big or small, the more you talk, the more open-minded you are!"

Old Li scolded with staring eyes, then sighed and said: "Okay, anyway, the time will not be long. Your Aunt Xiao said that after Xiao Xiao is full, her obligation has been fulfilled."

Li Tang quite agreed with this point, raised his wine glass to comfort his father and said, "Father, look, Aunt Xiao is so affectionate and righteous to the dead, she must be good to the living."

"Of course, that's what I like about Yi." Lao Li picked up his glass and touched his son, and said proudly.

"Hey, isn't it about Aunt Xiao's good looks?"

Lao Li couldn't help but stare and said, "Don't gossip too much, please! (Cheers)".

After the father and two had a drink, Lao Li repeated the same old tune: "Don't talk about me, what about Nong's family? The newspapers keep talking about Nong and Da Bing Bing and Xiao Bing Bing, how can they be the same?"

"Oh, the newspapers are full of nonsense, please don't take it seriously."

"I'm going to be 30 soon, I'm as old as Nong Ga, and Nong has been running all over the place long ago."

"I've just turned 26 years old, and the times are different. I'm not in a hurry now. I'll talk about it in Chenguang!" Li Tang said hastily.

Lao Li dissatisfied: "Don't be anxious, I am anxious! At my current age, I should have been a grandpa (grandfather) long ago. Now I don't even have a goal of getting married. How can I do it? "

Li Tang picked up the cup again and said with a smile: "Father, if you like villains, why don't you hurry up and raise another one with Aunt Xiao?"

I used to joke about this with my father, but now Fan Xiaopang often flaunts his brother in front of him, which makes him feel a little itchy. It seems that it would be fine if my father and Aunt Xiao gave him a younger brother and sister.Aunt Xiao is several years younger than chubby's mother, Aunt Zhang, and his father won't be nagging him to get married every time.

"Have another one? Hmph, think about it yourself, is it worthwhile?" Lao Li looked at him and said.

"Don't worry about anything, even if you get old in the future, there will still be me as an elder brother. Don't worry, old comrade, Nong Nizi (son) is not short of money."

Hearing this, Lao Li couldn't accept it, and said in a choked voice: "Nong's wings are hard now, and his eggs are old. Don't forget to take them off. I can raise Nongga to a big one. Even raising a small one now will not be a problem."

Li Tang said with a hippie smile: "Oh, Dad, how dare I dare to be an old egg. If I want an old egg, I am also an old egg. The little Lizi in Chengxiang Town should not be too famous back then."

To be honest, the longer he was outside, the more he missed sitting with his father, drinking, bragging and teasing, it was really relaxing.Compared with the unsmiling Gaozhi father in his previous life, Lao Li is obviously much cuter. He is a real father with flesh and blood, affection and righteousness!
As long as he talked about the "great achievements" of the year, Lao Li always had a look of color on his face.We must know that not everyone could make a fortune by selling foreign cigarettes back then. They had to have connections, brains, means, and more importantly, they had to be brave and ruthless.Back then, the name of Xiao Lizi in Old Dad Chengxiang Town was earned with a pair of fists.

If it's normal, and there is wine to add to the fun, Lao Li usually can't stop, but today when he was talking about the excitement, he suddenly looked at the time and hurriedly said: "Hey, turn on the TV, Central Eight, "" "Swordsman" is about to start."

Although Dad is repeating old tunes, Li Tang still listens to them with great interest. You must know that these are life, and if you encounter period dramas in the future, you can use them.If his father hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that today is the premiere of "Swordsman".

At 07:30 in the evening, accompanied by the guqin at the beginning of the film, the CCTV version of "Swordsman" finally met the audience for the first time.Because a lot of teaser clips have been released during the previous promotion, so the audience is no stranger to the appearances of Li Tang, Xu Qing and other leading actors.

When he saw the scene of Li Tang and Xu Qing appearing at the beginning of the film, Lao Li couldn't help nodding his head and said, "Nong Duo looks good, Xu Qing looks good, um, praise!"

CCTV [-] is a two-episode series. These two episodes are mainly about Linghu Chong being ordered by his teacher and his junior sister Yue Lingshan to disguise themselves as wine inn clerks and lie down at the foot of Wuyi Mountain.During this process, Linghu Chong meets Qu Yang, the elder of the Demon Sect, by chance, and the two share the same spirit and cherish each other.Then Lin Ping, the head of Fuwei Escort Bureau, appeared on the stage, rested in Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's taverns, and clashed with a young man surnamed Yu to fight an injustice, and accidentally killed the young man surnamed Yu.

The subsequent plot is basically the same as in the book. The Fuwei Escort began to die inexplicably. It turned out that Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng faction, led his disciples to take revenge.At the time of crisis, Linghu Chong rescued him chivalrously, but he was under the full attack of Yu Canghai and Qingcheng's sect, and he was in danger. At this time, Qu Yang came to the rescue.Then, Ren Yingying, the holy aunt of the Demon Sect, came to chase and kill Qu Yang. Linghu Chong rescued Qu Yang regardless of righteousness and evil, and at the same time had entanglements with Ren Yingying...

It should be said that the two protagonists Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying appeared in advance in the first two episodes, which is the biggest adaptation of the whole TV series.This kind of change is actually easy to understand. The biggest difference between film and television works and novels is drama.The love between Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying is the most important emotion in the original novel, so it is natural for the TV series to highlight it.And appearing in advance can better capture the audience's desire to watch.

After filming "Swordsman", Li Tang saw the finished film for the first time, and to be honest, he was quite moved.The contents of the first two episodes were filmed in the hottest climate in late July and early August.

Recalling that time, we drilled in the woods by the Taihu Lake every day, the temperature was high and the humidity was high, and the mosquitoes were overwhelming, and the vivid scenes seemed to be in front of us.

When the first episode ended and the ending song sounded, Li Tang couldn't help getting goosebumps when the high-pitched "Yi-ya!" sounded, followed by the ending song "Swordsman" sung by Liu Huan and Wang Hao ", the male voice is high-pitched Yang Hongliang, and the female voice is soft and low-pitched.Such a sound of nature, really sang the bloody storms in the world, and also expressed the love between children.

After watching the two episodes, Lao Li was still full of emotions, and specially raised his glass to his son and said, "This is the best role I've ever seen Nong play. It's comfortable (comfortable)!"

Li Tang received a call from Zhang Dahuzi the next day. Lao Zhang told him excitedly on the phone that the premiere hit a super high ratings of 17.8%. You must know that this is the ratings of the whole country. There is no doubt that " Swordsman" is on fire!
But what people never expected is that although the ratings have remained high with the follow-up broadcast, and even reached new highs repeatedly, the criticism from the outside world is endless, and it is getting worse.

The first one is the criticism from fans of the original book, especially after the first and second episodes aired, Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying appeared early, they thought it was completely inconsistent with the original book.

Some media also quoted an interview with Mr. Jin Yong, and quoted Jin Yong's original words: "I didn't see the finished product before, and I felt that CCTV shot it with all my heart and effort, but I didn't know it was different from what I thought after it was shot."

As soon as this remark came out, it further encouraged the criticism of the TV series by those so-called fans of the original book.

Li Tang was also very depressed after reading the relevant reports. He didn't know what the old man was thinking.We must know that words and images are completely different ways of expression, and it is impossible to achieve what some people call "loyalty to the original".

The other is that some media compared the CCTV version with the TVB version, thinking that the TVB version is the classic, and the CCTV version is pure rubbish.This corresponds to Li Tang's previous speculation that these media are deliberately slandering, praising TVB, and harming mainland film and television is already a kind of inertial thinking.

In fact, people who are really engaged in the film and television industry can understand at a glance that the fast-paced TVB version is just an assembly line operation, while the CCTV version is atmospheric and truly captures its hidden cultural connotations.

But the fair evaluations of these industry insiders were quickly overwhelmed by a large number of bad reviews.The reason is that the CCTV version is too different from the TVB version.Preconceived impressions are often difficult to change.

Hong Kong film and television dramas have formed a very unique and mature martial arts style in the 80s and 90s.And audiences these days basically grew up watching Hong Kong martial arts movies and TV series, so they are naturally accustomed to this system.But then again, if you want to shoot something new, you have to get out of this way of thinking completely.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still the media that is setting the pace, and the audience is blind. To put it bluntly, the audience will watch whatever is filmed. Some people may like stars, some people like plots, and some people just watch for fun.But as long as someone plays the rhythm and the audience finds that it matches a certain point of view in their hearts, the emotions will be easily aroused.

There is also criticism of the performance of the actors, but compared to the first two types of criticism, the latter is not as loud, mainly focusing on Xu Qing being too old, Xu Niang's version of Ren Yingying and so on.

However, the role of Linghu Chong, who was often criticized by others, has not received much criticism.The reason is very simple, because Li Tang's unruly, unrestrained, open and aboveboard, as well as his indifference to life and death and emphasis on friendship, almost perfectly fit with Linghu Chong in the original book.

And in terms of image, bamboo hats, cloth clothes, long swords, long fluttering hair, and a handsome appearance; in terms of character, he is bright and bold, narrowly and affectionately, and even has a sense of youth.All of them captured the hearts of the audience, especially the female audience.

Comparing the TVB version, it is not difficult to find that the so-called chic does not mean romantic, and the so-called uninhibited does not mean frivolous.

Of course, there are also some brainless viewers and die-hards who think that the actors in the TVB version are very relaxed and natural, with no traces of acting, and they look like Linghu Chong at first glance, while Li Tang criticizes bullshit such as too heavy acting traces.

　The first!
