If you could recast all Jin Yong's beauties, who would you cast?
I'm working on a project in which I will manipulate Jin Yong's top four beauties with other actresses since I don't like most of the castings for the gorgeous classic beauties in Jin Yong's universe. They often fall short to me on looks. It started with my obsession with Shui Ling cozz I really wanted her to be Xiao Long Nu. Now I'm thinking of expanding that to other actresses as well. So I need a little help and some ideas too.
List of beauties:
Princess Fragrance - (never saw a suitable casting for her)
Wang Yu Yan - (Liu Yi Fei lacks the intelligent look >_<)
Zhao Ming - (Gigi was cute and fits nicely but could be better. Alyssa, cute, and smart, not pretty enough)
Ren Ying Ying - (Was gonna do her but the casting is already perfect.
)
Xiao Long Nu - Needless to say, Shui Ling!
Since I don't read the novels, it'd be cool if someone can give me a description for how they're supposed to be? Adaptions can be misleading. Also, it'd be great if there are gallery links for the actresses too. I have so much trouble finding the right picture. XD
MY candidates!
Princess Fragrance - innocent, very beautiful, somewhat stubborn. Must have big eyes, round face, sharp features, and fair (?) skin. (Kyoko Fukada, Dong Xuan, Jiang Xin, maybe Yang Mi)
Wang Yu Yan - smart, gorgeous, elegant, classy, naive, innocent, a weakling, damsel in distress. (Shui Ling, Rebecca Wang Yan (remember Qing Er?), Zhang Lan Lan (???)
Zhao Ming - Spunky, stubborn, cute, very pretty, smart. Must look everything like that. lolz I don't know much of her. (Ady An Yi Xuan but still not that pretty...)
