Martial arts TV series are my favorite type of TV series to watch, and when I heard that there was a new version of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, I immediately started looking for a viewing channel.
The latest version of the Legend of the Condor Heroes is called "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", which is different from previous remakes, and this remake is carried out according to modules. It is divided into five modules: Iron Blood Pill Heart, East Evil and West Poison, Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar, Huashan Sword, and Nine Yin True Scripture.
This remake omits a lot of the plot in the book, and turns it into a narration form, which is unique and novel, and the plot is quite compact.
In the casting of the new version of Condor Shooting, the actresses are very good-looking, especially Mei Chaofeng played by Meng Ziyi, who can be said to be the most beautiful Mei Chaofeng in history, and there are also the most barrages about Meng Ziyi when watching the play.
Huang Rong played by Bao Shangen, although it is not as classic as Weng Meiling's version, but it can support the role of Huang Rong in terms of appearance and agility. The way the little beggar appears is also in line with the description of the original book, but the crooked mouth is very dramatic.
Mu Nianci is also amazing, and she can also be among the best in various versions, dressed in red, which is even more heroic.
However, the choice of male actors is not very good, Guo Jing's choice is too old and not suitable for playing the eighteen-year-old Guo Jing. Although Yang Kang's is in line with the temperament of the little prince, it is too feminine. Ouyang Ke's choice was also a failure, Ouyang Ke is amorous and not obscene.
In terms of fighting scenes, the new version of Condor Archery is slightly worse, although there are not so many slow motions, but the martial arts scenes always give people a sense of synthesis. There are very few shots of both sides of the fight showing their faces at the same time, and when performing light skills, Guo Jing and Yang Kang are like marionettes, not natural at all.
Overall, this version of the remake is much better than the martial arts dramas made in recent years, and it may be better if you use more dim sum in casting and a little more effort in martial arts action.
