wei xiaobao is a surprising martial arts character created by jin yong. who would have thought that in jin yong's last work, the deer and the cauldron, there would be such a hero who is totally different from the upright heroes and knights in the past.

wei xiaobao, who is glib, lustful, greedy, flattering, scheming, double-mouthed, yet loyal and generous, has become a classic character in jin yong's works. because it is so fantastic, the process of wei xiaobao reaching the peak of his life is also exciting and interesting.

wei xiaobao's life experience is so mysterious and incredible. a hoodlum from lichunyuan whose father is unknown, who swears a lot and can't read a few words, but by chance, he saved mao shiba and changed his fate in the capital. it's really incredible.

i don't know whether the character of xiang shaolong in "a step into the past" written by huang yi later borrowed from the character of wei xiaobao in "the deer and the cauldron". in any case, xiang shaolong, the special forces soldier, traveled back to the warring states period. he was still able to call the wind and rain, had countless women, and was extremely happy.

as jin yong's last martial arts novel, the deer and the cauldron was well received by readers as soon as it was published, and became jin yong's classic representative work. therefore, it has been remade into film and television dramas many times. so among the actors who have played the role of wei xiaobao, who is the wei xiaobao who walked out of the book?

1. tony leung chiu wai

in fact, before tony leung, there were actors who had played the role of wei xiaobao, such as janice man, who played the role of wei xiaobao in the 1977 hong kong atv production of "the deer and the cauldron".

xia lingling played the role of wei xiaobao in the 1978 taiwan tv series "young traveler". since jin yong's "the deer and the cauldron" was a banned book at the time, the role was changed to chen xiaobao.

there is also the 1983 hong kong shaw brothers film "the deer and the cauldron", in which wang yu played wei xiaobao. since these films were made a long time ago, many people have not seen them, so these three people are excluded.

what really caused a sensation was "the deer and the cauldron" starring tony leung and andy lau. the drama was filmed in 1984. tony leung was 22 years old at the time. he had clear and smart eyes, giving people a sense of shrewdness.

even jin yong said that the version of "the deer and the cauldron" starring tony leung and andy lau was the one he was most satisfied with.

perhaps it was because tony leung chiu-wai portrayed the quirky wei xiaobao so well that he later played the role of xiaoyuer in "the twins", which is also a role that is not easy to play well.

it is worth mentioning that after the two "the deer and the cauldron" movies starring stephen chow became a big hit, tony leung chiu-wai played the role of wei xiaobao again in 1993. the title of the movie was "the real wei xiaobao: picking up girls by imperial order". does it have any deep meaning?

2. stephen chow

in 1984, tony leung chiu-wai played the role of wei xiaobao in the deer and the cauldron for the first time. there was also a the deer and the cauldron filmed in taiwan, and the actor who played the role of wei xiaobao was li xiaofei.

i checked the information on this, but it's not very comprehensive, so i won't include it. but let's talk about the two "the deer and the cauldron" starring stephen chow in 1992, both of which were among the top ten box office hits in hong kong that year.

the box office of "the deer and the cauldron 1" reached 41 million, and the box office of "the deer and the cauldron 2: the dragon patriarch" reached 36.5 million. it can be said that both the quality and the box office were overwhelming.

to this day, the two "the deer and the cauldron" movies starring stephen chow are still loved by many people. the classic lines and scenes in them are still vivid in people's minds, making people laugh when they think of them.

stephen chow's performance style is nonsensical, and he is known as the king of comedy because of his exaggerated and superb acting skills. so he is naturally at ease with the glib, eloquent, and opportunistic wei xiaobao, just like the endless torrent of the river or the flood of the yellow river.

when jin yong learned that stephen chow was going to play wei xiaobao, he personally faxed him a handwritten note which read, "no one else should be considered." it can be seen that jin yong was very satisfied and positive about stephen chow's performance as wei xiaobao.

3. jordan chan

in 1998, the deer and the cauldron was adapted into a tv series again, 14 years later. this time, jordan chan played the role of wei xiaobao.

the version of "the deer and the cauldron" starring jordan chan is very interesting and is a very classic martial arts drama of tvb, which is loved by many people. after all, those born in the 80s and 90s grew up watching this version of "the deer and the cauldron".

now when i see a clip from the tv series "the deer and the cauldron" starring jordan chan, i will still stop to watch it and still find it interesting. this is the charm of classics.

chen xiaochun was extremely popular back then. with his role as shan ji in the young and dangerous series, he became an idol in the minds of many young people. he performed the young and dangerous movie so well, so it was natural for him to play a gangster like wei xiaobao.

4. dicky cheung

dicky cheung played the role of wei xiaobao in the tv series "young master and kangxi" produced by taiwan's cts in 2000. the cast of this drama is also very strong. it was written by wong jing and directed by pan wenjie and others.

wang jing has always been a genius and has written many wonderful scripts. the script he adapted from "the deer and the cauldron" is also very interesting. but why did he change the title of the original book "the deer and the cauldron"?

this hobby also made people feel strange when gu long's "the twins of heroes" was later adapted. wasn't the title of "the twins of heroes" good enough? why was it called "little fish and flower"?

the dicky cheung version of "young master and emperor kangxi" has a strong cast, with patrick tam, ekin cheng, ruby lin, athena chu, shu qi and others all starring.

patrick tam plays kangxi, ruby lin plays princess jianning, athena chu plays a ke and chen yuanyuan, ng man-tat plays hai dafu, monica chan plays the queen mother, ekin cheng plays chen jinnan, and teresa mak plays fang yi. with such a lineup, it is no wonder that the drama became tvb's annual ratings champion when it was broadcast on hong kong tvb.

dicky cheung is good at comedy and funny things. he has performed in many tv dramas and movies with comedy elements. he has a very powerful mouth and keeps talking in tv dramas and movies. he also has signature moves. the wei xiaobao he plays is also very individual.

5. huang xiaoming

huang xiaoming is well known to everyone. he is a famous actor in mainland china. he is very handsome and has appeared in many tv dramas. he is a male star who is blessed by god.

for example, his acting as emperor wu of han in the emperor of han dynasty was very impressive. i watched this drama as a kid and never missed a single episode.

the dramas he starred in, such as "the return of the condor heroes" and "the bund", were also very popular and attracted great attention.

in 2008, huang xiaoming played the role of wei xiaobao in "the deer and the cauldron". this wei xiaobao was so handsome. he acted with wallace chung, and together with other beauties such as ying caier, liu yun, shu chang, and hu ke, they were really a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, very pleasing to the eye.

6. han dong

although han dong is not as famous as huang xiaoming, he is also a well-known actor. he played the role of yang jian in "investiture of the gods", the nine-pattern dragon shi jin in "new water margin", and tian boguang in "swordsman", which are also impressive.

in 2014, han dong became the male lead wei xiaobao in "the deer and the cauldron", acting with zhang xinyu, wei qianxiang, lou yixiao, zhang meng and others. when the first round of broadcasts occurred, it also attracted a lot of attention, and the hot topics on the internet continued to be popular.

7. zhang yishan

after 6 years, "the deer and the cauldron" was remade again. in 2020, zhang yishan became the male protagonist wei xiaobao in the new version of "the deer and the cauldron". this version caused quite a stir when it was broadcast.

there have been many comments about wei xiaobao played by zhang yishan. however, when the drama was broadcast on cctv-8, the national real-time ratings ranked first for 17 consecutive days. it can be seen that it still attracted widespread attention from the public. after all, it is jin yong's famous work and it comes with its own traffic.

the above are the seven male actors who starred in jin yong's martial arts novel "the deer and the cauldron". who is the best and most recognized by the audience? wei xiaobao seems to be easy to interpret, but it is not so easy to perform the essence. the difference is obvious at a glance. it is not something that can be performed by joking, acting crazy, or smiling. so which one do you recognize the most?
