Why was the remake of " Golden Dust Aristocratic Family " so controversial?

Answer 1

" Golden Dust Aristocratic Family " was a classic online novel that told the story of the love between a rich girl, Jin Yanxi, and a poor scholar, Leng Qingqiu, at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Although this novel has a high literary value, it may not be very friendly to modern Chinese audiences because it is a classical Chinese novel. Therefore, if they wanted to remake it into a TV series or movie, they might face a lot of controversy.

Some viewers felt that the remake might not respect the original novel, and the plot and characters in the novel might not be adapted reasonably enough, or even destroy the spiritual core of the original novel. In addition, because the original novel was a classical Chinese novel, the requirements for acting and special effects might be higher, so the remake might face technical difficulties.

In addition, the audience's attitude towards the remake also depended on the performance of the actors. If the actor's performance did not conform to the spiritual core of the original work or the acting skills were not good, the audience might doubt the quality of the TV series.

To sum up, the reason why the remake of " Golden Dust Aristocratic Family " was controversial was that it was a classic work with high literary value. For the audience, it was not only a TV series or a movie, but also a respect for cultural traditions.
