1999 version of "Swallow and Li San" became the champion of CCTV in that year, which not only created a miracle of viewing, but also won the flying prize in that year.
The New Swallow Li San broke the convention of remake and was still directed by Wang Xinmin, the director of the 99th edition. In an interview with reporters, Wang Xinmin said that he had doubts at first. "The first shot was 1997, and the screenwriter at that time has now passed away. Now remake, I have concerns at first. In addition to creating the high ratings of that year, it is also a classic of China's martial arts drama or martial arts drama. We are really not sure whether we can surpass it today, so we hesitate again and again. Later, Shandong Satellite TV repeatedly encouraged it before deciding to remake it. "
Six-year-olds also praised director Wang Xinmin for daring to remake his TV series. "The same director dares to shoot his own classic works and remake his own drama, which is very stressful. There is no second one in the country. " ?
The new version of Swallow and Li San not only adds a sense of historical facts and martial arts design, but also adds emotional drama. There are many emotional entanglements between Lee played by Hong Kong actress Li Caihua and the villain played by Chen Long.
