How many stories did Ni Kuang write in Wesley?
A Comparative Study of Two Versions of Wesley: Tao Dayu and Gallen Lo
From the content point of view, both films are 30 episodes. The Luo version includes eight stories: paper monkey, corpse change, charcoal, dream seeking, bewitch, immortal, fooling around and grave robbery, while the Tao version includes six series: shadow, heavenly book, reincarnation, immortal, mansion, leaving soul and longing for god. Luo Ban focuses on excavating the mysteries of ancient legends, so the story is set in Shanghai during the Republic of China, while Tao Ban focuses on exploring the secrets of the unknown world, and the story is set in modern Singapore. ), Luo version is more faithful to the original, while the pottery version has changed a lot, but the story level of Luo version is uneven. Paper monkeys, corpse changes, grave robberies, etc. It only plays the role of foreshadowing and ending, while the pottery plate is more general and the weight of each series is similar.
Wesley:
Gallen Lo's fooling around is in sharp contrast with Tao Dayu's solemnity.
I don't want to play a young man at the age of fishing, but Gallen Lo made up for this defect with his profound acting skills. Wesley, who is humorous and daydreaming, makes people forget the age gap of actors, but Wesley's scene of being trapped by love and drowning his sorrows in wine is not deep enough, which seems to be out of touch with the plot. Of course, the focus of the play is on the soul character Wesley, which makes this version of Wesley more successful than the pottery version.
Tao Dayu still followed his performance style in criminal investigation, unsmiling and even bitter, but ignored Wesley's optimistic and open-minded side as an adventurer. At the same time, this version also has some limitations in Wesley's role setting. Wei's story is so dull that it lacks ups and downs and touching feelings, so that the limelight is robbed by Guo of Li Nanxing.
Gallen Lo: Tao Dayu = 1: 0.
Essence:
Essence is a calm, rational and intelligent woman, and also Wesley's lover and comrade-in-arms.
It's a pity that Yoyo Mung's essence is dull, not clever. His performance in the play is dull and Mu Na, but his attitude towards Wesley is unreasonable and willful. He doesn't cherish their feelings at all, which is annoying and can be said to be the most failed role in the whole play.
Like Hehe, she is not a glamorous beauty. From the clothing point of view, her modern dress is not as good as her ancient costume, but Zheng is worthy of being a sister in Singapore. She moves freely and shows a smart, alert and affectionate female image on the screen.
Yoyo Mung: Zheng Huiyu = 0: 1.
Bai Qiwei:
Although he is the heroine's brother, the second edition of Bai Qiwei appeared as a villain.
From the appearance, Tang Wenlong is a bit gloomy and unruly, which is more in line with the role. Tang Wenlong's acting skills are also handy, especially after falling off a cliff, which won many sympathy points. It can be seen that the screenwriter still likes this role.
Bernard Tan's leitian taste is not good enough. With his death, there is not much room for him to play in the play. He did not abandon evil and do good, nor did he reveal the true face of traitors. He is just a passer-by. Moreover, Chen looks simple and honest (as the name implies, I can't forget being simple and honest in love), and he doesn't look like a villain.
Tang Wenlong: Bernard Tan = 1: 0.
White boss:
Boss Bai is a respected, well-informed and well-fed person. If you remove a little stubbornness, you are the old Wesley.
Kaohsiung plays a tangible man, but there is a Jianghu middleman with developed limbs and simple mind, unlike a strange man.
Ceng Jiang is old-fashioned, playing the gangster is his strong point, and his deep affection with Essence's mother and daughter is also well played.
Kaohsiung: Ceng Jiang = 0: 1.
WenBaoYu:
Baoyu is a beautiful boy from a rich family, fearing that the world will not be chaotic, and his curiosity and destructive power are equally powerful.
Yang Ming is not handsome enough, but his success lies in his good story. He and Hong Hong, a pair of "Tell the Truth" and a noisy Zhu Mimi stole the show, which matched his identity as a journalist and contributed to the development of the plot.
Zhou Chuming's baby face and handsome appearance are the best candidates to play Baoyu. Unfortunately, the story of Wen Jiabao in this film ended in tragedy, which wasted the comedy talent in the early Ming Dynasty, and the actress who played the alien Hyde with her was a bit ugly.
Yang Ming: Zhou Chuming = 1: 1.
Red:
Cousin Wesley is also a little magic star.
Yang Yi's appearance is too tall, but his performance is tepid, which is the pistachio of the whole play and a highlight of the play.
Gong Hong in Lin Xiangping is just a string of characters. Xiang Ping is petite and exquisite, but she looks qualified. Unfortunately, there are too few points in the play and she has no chance to appear.
Yang Yi: Lin Xiangping = 1: 0.
Chen Changqing:
Very rich, very fond of playing, and prefer to pursue mysterious things.
Chen Guobang Chang-Chen Qing's identity has changed, and so has his personality. In the play, he tried to portray him as a lover, but this kind of good man seemed depressing.
Yisheng Lin has acted in many comedies, and Chang-Chen Qing is also the kind of role he is good at, so it didn't take much effort.
Chen Guobang: Yisheng Lin = 0: 1.
Drawn white:
Wesley's friend, master of grave robbery.
Ceng Weiquan's drawn white is just an introduction, which leads to the story of grave robbery, so there are not many things drawn white. Therefore, little attention is paid to his costume modeling in the play. He dresses like ordinary people.
Chang Lu Feng played three roles, David, Leitian and Fake Leitian (a duet of Leitian). The importance in the play is self-evident. Leitian, who has long hair, also has the bearing of a prodigal son, and finally committed suicide tragically, which is unforgettable.
Ceng Weiquan: Chang Lufeng = 0: 1.
