Why is Xu Xian in the legend of the New White Lady a woman?

Because she plays more realistically, better than men.

There was no substitute to be found, so Ye Tong was cast.

Bai Suzhen is an immortal, and Xu Xian is a mortal, so unlike the male and female combinations in the film and television dramas we usually watch, we must show strong female and male weakness here. Therefore, it is most appropriate to find an actress to play Xu Xian.

And there are many scenes in the play that are intimate scenes between the male and female protagonists, and it will not be very embarrassing if the actress performs it, after all, Zhao Yazhi's version of "The Legend of the New White Lady" was relatively conservative when filming started.

Behind the scenes

In March 1992, the senior management of Taiwan Television researched the annual TV series and finalized the story of "The Legend of the White Snake". In April, producer Cao Jingde approached Gong Min. In May, Gong Min collected the story of the White Snake, formulated the outline of the story, and established Zhao Yazhi of Hong Kong and Taiwan as the actor of the White Lady.

Because Ye Tong has a good appearance in "Blue Sea Love", Hong Kong star Ye Tong was used to play a reverse role. In the end, it was established that Xiaoqing's actor Chen Meiqi, and other Taiwanese local actors, invited Taiwanese composer Zuo Hongyuan to compose music in the same month.

The first point is that the reason for finding an actress is that his whole temperament must conform to the feeling of a scholar, and the second point is actually the real reason that when looking for a male actor, it was also very expensive.

may be because Xu Xian is a very good-looking person in **, and he is indistinguishable from male and female.

Because Xu Xian was originally described in the original book as a relatively gentle and handsome scholar, no one could play this feeling at that time.

The TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady" is very classic, even unsurpassable. But this TV series has always had an insoluble mystery, that is, why the male protagonist of the show "Xu Xian" wants a woman to reverse, I believe this question must have troubled many audiences. When I was a child, whenever I watched this TV series, I felt that no matter how "Xu Xian" looked at it, he didn't look like a man.

Later, when I grew up, I realized that I had been fooled, but in fact, "Xu Xian" was originally played by a woman.

But a widely criticized thing over the years is that the actor of Xu Xian in the 92 version of the White Lady is actually a woman. Regarding the fact that Xu Xian's actor is a girl, there has always been a lot of controversy among the audience, and there are many people who support it, and of course, there are many people who oppose it.

The director originally wanted to find a man to play "Xu Xian", but after looking for many male actors to audition, he couldn't find the feeling of a gentle and elegant scholar with a slight pedantic. So, the director considered whether he could let an actress play this role. At first, the director planned to let Lin Qingxia play it, because she had played the role of "Undefeated in the East".

It is rumored that because of her high salary or lack of time, she did not play Xu Xian.

Just like in the classic "Under the Dome", Cixi's actor is actually a Japanese, which is also a slot, which will inevitably cause controversy. Could it be that no one is acting? Is it because the relationship is hard? In fact, this is all nonsense.

According to Yuko, the reason why she played the Empress Dowager Cixi was because the director thought that she was dressed too much like the Empress Dowager Cixi herself, so even if there was a huge cultural "generation gap" in the middle, even if there was a language barrier when acting, because of the image, she overcame many difficulties and finalized a Japanese actor to play the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Great Qing Kingdom.

It is rumored that before filming, the actor of the fairy originally wanted to find Zheng Shaoqiu, but because of his handsome appearance, he always felt that something was missing. At this time, Ye Tong not only performed well in the play, but also played a very masculine role, perhaps because he happened to find such an excellent actress, and he happened to have such a role in his hands, the director decided to gamble. In fact, for same-sex people to fall in love on the screen, out of physiological instinct, it is destined to cause discomfort to some people, but for most people, this is nothing, as long as the acting skills are good.

Ye Tong once said that he remembered hugging Bai Suzhen on the wedding night, he completely regarded himself as a big boy, and then hugged the beauty, and had a real idea of wanting to protect, it was precisely because of this investment that Xu Xian, played by Ye Tong, had the taste of a man, but had the weakness of a scholar. After all, as a male actor, it's hard to show that weak taste.

Among them, the actors' superb acting skills and sincere and touching feelings have made this drama a success. Although this drama has been remade many times later, in the hearts of many audiences, Bai Suzhen played by Zhao Yazhi and Xu Xian played by Ye Tong can never be surpassed.

Because I didn't find a man suitable for this role at that time, in order to be more suitable for the role, I would find a woman to play it.

Because the female role of Xu Xian is more expressive and the effect is better, the actor of Xu Xian will be a woman.

Because women's pretending to be ** was very popular at that time, only in this way could Xu Xian's heroism be reflected, and it would not be too pedantic.

Because the role of Xu Xian is relatively special, the male actor has never found a suitable one, so he will choose an actress to play it.

That's because this woman's role will be more in line with Xu Xian's temperament, and it will also be more eye-catching.

is because this character image is very close to the original work, very much like the white weak scholar in the TV series, which can restore this character image very well, and I can't find a better person.

Because her image is more in line with Xu Xian, in order to better fit this role, she made such a decision.

Because Xu Xian's role positioning is a gentle and elegant person, the girl's interpretation is better, especially close to the image.

Actress Ye Tong played Xu Xian in order to better highlight the character characteristics of the character. It is reported that director Xia Zu and Que Hui also have another theory that in fact, many male actors auditioned at that time, but none of them played Xu Xian's gentle, elegant and slightly pedantic "scholarly feeling", and then thought about it and simply found an actress to reverse the string.

In addition, director Xia Zuhui also revealed that Ye Tong also had a performance in the TV series "Blue Sea Love", and his appearance was handsome, which matched the image of the character, so he finally took over the role of Xu Xian. Director Xia Zuhui and screenwriter Gong Min both have a deep background in Huangmei TV series and film production, and the film has a strong opera style, so it is not surprising that it is not surprising to find an actress to play the male protagonist early.

The Legend of the White Snake starred Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong in 1992, both in appearance and interaction, the two are as real as jumping from the story to real life, and they are still a classic that is difficult to surpass in the minds of many drama fans on both sides of the strait.

This actor is Ye Tong. Her current situation is very good, ** is in very good condition, the maintenance is very good, she is still very beautiful, and her life is very happy and fulfilling.

His current situation is not very good, because it is difficult for others to abandon his inherent image in this one. As a result, there is no film to shoot now.

The actor's current situation is very good, although he is no longer in the entertainment industry, he has lived a very fulfilling life and has his own love.

Now this actor is still in very good shape, and she looks the same as before, very beautiful.

The current state is very good, life is very dull, although there are no resources in the entertainment industry, but life is very happy.
