Just saw an entertainment news, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is going to shoot the 3.0 version, and suddenly I am at a loss.
Who is so bold, do you think the first part is not classic enough, or do you think that the first part is too far away from us?
The reason why it is called version 3.0, when you think about it, is for the previous version 1.0 in 1998 and version 2.0 in 2011.
The two versions are very different, the 1.0 version of the Douban score is 8.5, while the 2.0 version is only 4.6, almost waist chopped.
Therefore, this 3.0 version, I don't know whether to benchmark the 1.0 version, to re-shoot the youth memory of a generation, or to step on the 2.0 version to prove the level of future generations.
Or capital has another whim, rubbing classic traffic to show its strength, creating a new IP for my use.
Whatever the purpose, you have to admire the guts of these people:
One is the confidence that comes from nowhere, thinking that it will definitely surpass its predecessors;
The second is the courage that comes from nowhere, thinking that he has the strength to challenge everything.
The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and the generation is stronger than the next, and the progress of this world must rely on the continuous advancement of the back wave.
But the push is not by repetition, but by innovation.
Therefore, the remake of this matter, in any case, can not be related to progress, take the road that others have walked, repeat the classics created by others, to put it bluntly, this kind of courage is nothing more than a big face and opportunism.
I would say that the crew is really not smart enough, and few remakes over the years have surpassed the former, most of them not only did not make a splash, but also died ugly enough.
Far from it, Zhang Yishan's "Deer DingJi" starring zhang Yishan and Yu Rongguang's "Tianlong Babu" are living examples.
Unfortunately, such lessons cannot stop those who are ambitious.
Looking at the 3.0 version of the actor recruitment notice, you will find that the protagonists are still the original six: Xiao Yanzi, Yongqi, Xia Ziwei, Falcon, Qing'er, and Xiao Jian.
It says "Six roles, to be redefined", which is for the actors to be recruited, which means that the newcomers want to perform different feelings from past roles.
But if the character connotation is different, why do you have to call it "Huan Zhu Gege", and start a new one to make a new one?
To put it bluntly, I still don't have the guts, I'm afraid that there is no traffic to rub away from the original role, and the audience doesn't know and doesn't buy it.
How classic and sensational was the "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" of that year, and the data can explain everything.

According to incomplete statistics, from 1998 to 2018, in the past twenty years, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" has been replayed as many as sixteen times, and the reason why it has not been replayed every year is because Qiong Yao and Yu Zheng have an infringement dispute, which then terminated the cooperation with Hunan Satellite TV, resulting in three years of failure to replay.
In 2018, Hunan Satellite TV reached an understanding with Qiong Yao, and as a result, the replay of "Huan Zhuge Ge" was arranged that year.
Therefore, nowadays, some people want to remake, the nature of the value is the traffic of this drama, they believe that as long as it is filmed, with the strong fan base of this drama, they are not afraid of no one watching.
As for the quality, it is a different matter, not to mention, every remake of the person, think that they are great, even if the film is poor, they can find various excuses for themselves.
For the original author Qiong Yao, his work has one more opportunity to be published, and one more opportunity to monetize copyright.
For the remake of this matter, netizens no longer complain, no longer reluctant, but also can not stop, can only hope that those remakes, good to use more dim sum, treat the classic, can be less ruined is a little.
Otherwise, to borrow a line from Jin Suo in the play, "Otherwise she will be tossed to death by herself sooner or later"!
