But overall, the show was a success. The plot is compact, the pictures are beautiful, and of course the acting skills of the actors are really remarkable. There is basically nothing to be picky about Zhuo Yihang, played by Wu Qilong. For the role of Lian Nishang, many people think that it is unreasonable for Ma Su to play the role, because the reason is that he is too old and not amazing enough. According to the information, the character in the original book was raised by a she-wolf, with stunning appearance, outstanding martial arts, cold outside and fierce inside. Ma Su played the role of Nishang, which I personally think is quite in place. The reasons are as follows. Although the actors themselves are not amazing in terms of appearance, they can be compensated by the costumes and lighting post-production. Attentive audiences can see that Ma Su played Lian Nishang's grievance and helplessness as well as the indifference he showed when he was infatuated with Zhuo Yihang but was misunderstood. From his eyes, these emotions are revealed directly to the heart. (I am an eye-controller...) In addition, since she is a witch, murderous and evil spirits are of course indispensable. How to interpret these abstract things in place can only be revealed through the eyes. Frankly speaking, I prefer Nishang's violent eyes, which are very sharp.
Of course, I have to talk about the plot of the show, although I haven't seen the old version before so I can't compare it. But the overall storyline is too brutal. All kinds of non-explainations, all kinds of misunderstandings, all kinds of grievances, all kinds of dogmas and rules all make people think of love in today's society. We who live in reality have long since lost that longing. The chivalrous spirit in the world of martial arts, and the love that lasts until death is just a topic after dinner. Perhaps love should have been as unswerving as in the play, so pure and so simple. But the world has long defined love as marriage. And marriage is life, a life that can't take care of itself. Since it is life, it cannot be so pure. Various factors such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, monthly salary, annual salary, moonlight, sunlight, house, car, etc. are entangled in life. In a world led by the party that exhausts all our strength, we can only live in the world, where reality allows us to pursue that pure love. In the tragic utopia, there may really be a woman like Nishang, but reality has to bind her, and the epic love will eventually lose to the traditional thinking of the world.
In the end, I had to sigh and say goodbye, Lian Nishang in my heart.
