|
| Zhao Wen Zhuo, Peter Ho, Shui Ling's fresh new drama "Wind & Cloud" |
|
| translated from Sina Entertainment |
|
| Based on Ting Ha Fung's comic "Wind & Cloud" came two years later the mega hit movie with |
|
| superstars Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng. Smart TV drama producers couldn't let go of this |
|
| good chance and remade a TV version of "Wind & Cloud", just like in "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". |
|
| This time, the show includes famous actors somewhat, somewhat not, comparable to the movie |
|
| version: Zhao Wen Zhuo, Peter Ho, Soniba, Tao Hong, Shui Ling, Annie Wu, Sun Hei, Wong Hei, |
|
| China Doll, Lily Tien, and other honorable mentions. On the other hand, this version has the beautiful |
|
| scencery of Si Chuan's legendary Budda, with high-tech computer graphics and animation. |
|
| Peter Ho---Bu Jing Yun (Cloud) |
|
| The TV version's Cloud is a strong, compressive fighter. Although his personality is rather |
|
| cold-blooded, his feelings are very usual and colorful. He had two goals for life, one's finding love, |
|
| two is revenge. This character changes greatly throughout the show. In the beginning he's |
|
| cold-hearted and arrogant, but after he met Chu Chu (played by Tao Hong), he transformed into a |
|
| gentleman. This character played by Peter Ho is very eye catching: wearing a sleeveless black shirt, |
|
| tight black pants, and a bright red cape, very much like the "superman" in American films. Plus his 6 feet |
|
| stature, comeliness face, edgy eyebrows, and a headful of blue curls, he truly has a feeling of coolness. |
|
| Peter said that his blue curls are not a wig, it was his real hair, using 11 hours to fix, dye, and perm. To |
|
| master great martial art skills, he practiced a whole month of kong fu and swordplay. |
|
| Zhao Wen Zhuo---Nie Feng (Wind) |
|
| Zhao Wen Zhuo plays in the series a love sick, many challeged, Wind. A snow white robe, a black |
|
| fabric belt, and a head of long, dark brown hair is Zhao Wen Zhuo's costume for the drama. |
|
| Wind is a wandering, carefree swordman. He met five women in his lifetime that loved him enough to |
|
| even die for him. Comparing to his previous Wuxia series, Zhao said that his movements in this series |
|
| had a comic feel to it and remade beauty, not required to make it look real on his part. Beautiful tricks |
|
| have to be edited by computer animation weeks later. But five accounts of heart-breaking love tales is |
|
| a pretty heavy duty, comparing to his struggle of showing his real skills. |
|
| Tao Hong, Jiang Qin Qin---Beauties Who Fell in Love with the Heroes |
|
| Tao Hong plays Cloud's lover, Chu Chu, in this drama. Chu Chu is a girl with absolutely no martial art |
|
| skills. After she met Cloud, head over hills by his cool attitude, started to follow him around, even to the |
|
| wildest, most dangerous places. But the only person in Cloud's heart is Kong Ci (played by Annie Wu), |
|
| ignoring Chu Chu's efforts. |
|
| Recently popular among Hong Kong and Taiwan's entertainment circles, Jiang Qin Qin had played the |
|
| lover of Zhao Wen Zhuo in previous works such as "Hero-Zheng Cheng Gong" and the "New Mayflower". |
|
| This time they are at it again. In this series Jiang Qin Qin played two parts: Ming Yue and Di Er Meng. |
|
| These two characters are both the women that Wind loved the most. Ming Yue was Wind's first love, |
|
| she was hit down a cliff for the sake of saving Wind; whereas Di Er Meng's appearance made Wind |
|
| thought she was Ming Yue's afterlife. In the end Di Er Meng, for the sake of saving Wind from being |
|
| taken over by sorcery, gave up her own beautiful life. About the scar on Di Er Meng's face, Jiang |
|
| Qin Qin did not think it would affect her image. On the other hand she thought it was rather pretty. |
|
| Because the whole tradition of the series is based on beauty, the director let the designer creat a |
|
| scar in the shape of a small butterfly-shaped tattoo, in the color of purplish-red, looking like a |
|
| fashionable sort of make-up for the character. |
