I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 119, deviates too much from the original work?

"He's really handsome."

When this Murong Fu appeared.

In terms of appearance.

One word.

handsome.

Even Li Ruotong, who is extremely picky about handsome men, has worked with the most handsome actor Yang Guo.

When I see Murong Fu in front of me, I can't help but admire his handsome appearance.

He's just as handsome as any other guy I've ever seen.

At this moment, Yang Guoqiang was also slightly surprised by this superior appearance.

It's really quite good.

"His appearance and temperament are acceptable."

Li Tiansheng commented that although he didn't have the same level of compatibility as Qiao Feng, who was deadly from the moment he appeared, he was absolutely compatible in terms of appearance and temperament.

Appearance and temperament.

This is the most basic point.

He was already comparable to Yang Guoqiang in terms of handsome appearance at that time.

During the standoff with Song Dynasty officials.

The domineering and arrogant aura displayed by Murong Fu.

"These 500,000 taels have all gone to waste," Murong Fu said, his hands behind his back.

The close-up shot focuses on his face, revealing a disdainful gaze.

What is presented.

He was a noble young master with the majestic bearing of a phoenix and an overwhelming air of nobility.

Body shape, demeanor, and temperament.

These things are evident from the very first appearance.

The first shot is enough to show the audience something, something that is immediately apparent.

Its shape and appearance

In terms of temperament and appearance, he is subtly comparable to the Murong Fu of the 97 version.

"This Murong Fu's appearance is no worse than yours back then," Li Tiansheng said to Yang Guoqiang. "Although we can't tell his acting skills yet, his temperament, appearance, and demeanor are definitely no less than yours back then."

Yang Guoqiang himself had some feelings about this.

"This new adaptation of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' is truly outstanding."

He is genuinely reflecting on this, which is currently emerging.

Whether it's Qiao Feng or not.

It was Murong Fu again.

The portrayal of the characters is overwhelmingly aggressive, making it a formidable force against the TVB version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

The difference in funding is undeniable. The TVB version is more like a stage play, while the Zhang Dahuzi version has a more dramatic and higher production quality. CCTV's resources are also a factor.

TVB's advantage lies in its large number of skilled actors, its stage play performance style, and various factors such as nostalgia.

The biggest advantage is probably the actors.

Currently, the difference between this Murong Fu and others doesn't seem to be as great as imagined; in fact, he appears more noble in terms of makeup and demeanor.

"I'm feeling some pressure."

at this time.

Yang Guoqiang said with a wry smile, "I really feel like I, the old wave, was almost washed ashore by the new wave."

"Haha, don't underestimate yourselves too much. Our TVB version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils also has its own advantages," Li Tiansheng said with a smile.

It's not some vague sentiment, but a real advantage.

As for the action scenes, it's safe to say that the TVB version has a better fight choreography.

And the character's performance.

at this time.

"It's time for another scene featuring Murong Fu."

At this moment, it was Li Ruotong who spoke.

This time, the scene features Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu together.

When Wang Yuyan appeared.

That stunning feeling, that appearance and temperament.

Even Li Ruotong had to admit it after seeing it.

This is so beautiful

Regardless of acting skills or anything else, her appearance and temperament alone are enough to make a large number of actresses feel ashamed.

At the most beautiful age, she appeared on camera with a flawless face and eyes, and an unparalleled ethereal beauty.

At this moment, Murong Fu appeared once again in Yanziwu.

Wang Yuyan, Liu Qianqian, came to her cousin's side and said with a mournful look in her eyes.

Cousin

Why are you so fixated on that unrealistic dream of restoring your country?

Until Murong Fu's response.

In his eyes.

There's still a chance.

They're starting to act!

Those expressive eyes.

There is sorrow, burden, responsibility, and vicissitude.

At this moment.

Yang Guoqiang suddenly realized.

This is Murong Fu.

It seems to be somewhat different from what I expected?

Some differences

The emotions he carried.

Compared to his former self, the "Murong Fu".

They have to carry much more.

But is this Murong Fu still Murong Fu?

The first episode features a limited number of characters, with the main ones being Duan Yu, Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, and Wang Yuyan.

Duan Yu's appearance wasn't particularly special, but when he was licking the fairy sister, his infatuated look was quite convincing. Thanks to the advancement of photography technology, even the drool at the corner of Lin Zhiying's mouth was faintly visible.

But in reality, for the first wave of moviegoers and the movie-watching media...

Duan Yu's performance seems to make some sense?

After all, who wouldn't be captivated by a goddess like Liu Qianqian?

Without a doubt, among the first wave of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" releases, the character that garnered the most media attention was Wang Yuyan. Her unparalleled appearance and temperament made her a natural fit for playing fairy-like roles.

Little Fairy.

This refers to the media's evaluation of Liu Qianqian.

Compared to Liu Yifei, Qiao Feng and Murong Fu also garnered considerable attention.

Regardless of one's fondness for the man carrying the speaker, it is undeniable that Hu Jun's portrayal of Qiao Feng, in terms of both appearance and temperament, perfectly embodies the heroic figure from the Northwest depicted in the novel.

Murong Fu.

Opinions on it are mixed.

The praise undoubtedly goes to Murong Fu's temperament. In the eyes of various media outlets, this is absolutely commendable. Even if he is not as good as Yang Guo back then, at least this image is absolutely qualified or even excellent.

Some people who have read "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" initially thought that Murong Fu would be the second "Song Qingshu".

But the results proved that this was definitely not a second Song Qingshu; this was a character with flesh and blood, and his own soul.

just.

The problem lies in this 'soul'.

"This is not Murong Fu. It's just someone else who is pretending to be Murong Fu. This is not a fabrication, and this adaptation is not a random creation."

At this moment, a fan of the original novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and an editor of an entertainment daily said the following.

When Murong Fu presented his grand dream of restoring his kingdom, some saw his acting skills, some saw his temperament, and some saw his soul.

Some people also saw it.

It feels like it deviates from the original character.

The Hong Kong media, on the other hand, seemed to smell blood.

Li Yun already had some popularity in Hong Kong media because of "Blind Shaft" and "Infernal Affairs", but his performance in the TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has also drawn criticism.

After all, the 97 version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is one of TVB's most successful projects in recent years, and this rebroadcast is also generating a lot of buzz.

The premiere of the CCTV version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" received absolute approval for Qiao Feng, no doubt about it, and most people also agreed with Liu Qianqian – she's so beautiful, it's impossible to even look at her.

The criticism mainly focused on the action scenes, with some even mocking them; most of the Hong Kong media coverage revolved around this aspect.

The film is weak and sloppy, with various glaring shots and special effects that gloss over the action scenes, making viewers want to laugh and giving it no sense of martial arts at all.

This is indeed something that the new "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" did not do well.

And another point.

It's probably Murong Fu. As most mainland media outlets have said, this Murong Fu does indeed have a good image.

However, there are some issues with the character development.

Many staunch supporters of the original work are speaking out about this issue.

This is Murong Fu.

not bad.

But he is definitely not Murong Fu from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

At this moment.

The ratings and public opinion for the first day have been released, and both Zhou Liang and Zhang Dahuzi are very satisfied with them.

It had a viewership rating of 5.41.

This first-day viewership rating, compared to the phenomenal success of the 97 version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, is indeed somewhat lacking. The 97 version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils achieved a viewership rating of 10%, a legendary feat.

However, we cannot simply look at the ratings without considering the era in which they were produced. Nowadays, there are many more TV programs available on television than before, so the ratings slots are inevitably divided among different time slots.

On CCTV-6, the first-day viewership of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was quite good.

"At least we can give ourselves an explanation with these ratings." Yu Jian smiled at this point, feeling that he was able to complete the task.

This viewership rating is already quite good for a martial arts drama.

"There are still dozens of episodes to air, so it's too early to draw conclusions." Zhou Liang was still quite cautious. Although the premiere results were good, it was only because of the publicity and the popularity of the IP itself. What can be retained is the quality of the subsequent episodes.

Only if the subsequent viewership ratings are maintained can it be proven that the quality is not a problem.

The controversy surrounding the roles was expected, as comparisons between characters tend to favor the past over the present.

At this moment, Zhou Liang sighed with emotion.

"I never expected that Murong Fu would be the most controversial character, even though we think there's absolutely nothing wrong with him."

"Just because we think it's okay doesn't mean the audience thinks it's okay. After all, everyone has a different perspective, especially those so-called fans of the original work."

IP adaptations used to be done primarily to boost sales of the original work; viewership ratings weren't that important.

Therefore, in most cases, the changes will be made to stay close to the original work and bring out the flavor of the original work. Qiao Feng is such a character.

The Qiao Feng in the new Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is a 1:1 copy of the original work, including his psychological changes and changes in various aspects.

Therefore, it has been well received.

But Murong Fu was different.

This cousin is different.

"Find some time to comfort Xiao Li. Anyway, I think this role is fine."

At this moment, Li Yun, who seemed to be comforted, was not so discouraged. Instead, she enjoyed her hard-won rest at home.

There were comics next to me, and then I set up a computer and downloaded World of Warcraft.

Everything seemed very peaceful.

"Li Zi, you're really having it easy. Don't you know your character's reputation has already exploded?"

"Let the bullets fly for a while."
