Hello,
A thought just came to mymind and just wanted to share with you guys.
The 80s version of Jing Yong series are, generally, kept the spirit of the novel eventhought they don't follow the novel at all.
I have noticed that Jing Yong series from 80s to 83 dont' quite followthe novel. But then from 84 and up, it follows the novel quite nicely.
SemiDevil and DemiGod 81, Legend of the condor heroes, and Return of the condor heroes all are not that faithful to the novel. But then from Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, Flying fox of Snowy Mountain, and Duke of mount Deer, all pretty much follow the novel form the beginning to the end.
WHy do you think that is? Is it because TVB producers are tired of making up stuff, or the audiences were complaining that they should follow the novel?
I have find myself forwarding alot of the scenes on the ones that they dont' follow the novels. SemiDevil and DemiGod, LOCH, and ROCH, all have fast forwarded alot of secnes. Series like, DOMD, Flying Fox and Heaven Sword, were all wonderful and I didn't find myself fastforwarding.
What do y'all think?
I am currently watching the 80's version of Snowy Mountain with Ray Lui. And I must say, it is a WONDERFUL series!!!!!Acting are great, songs are great, action, fighting are magnificent, did not deviate from the book....there is really nothing bad to say about this series!
THe currrent version of Snowy Mountain should be ashamed of themselves!!!!
