Have you heard about a rumour saying that there may be a remake of Xiao Ao Jiang Hu? Apparently, Yu Zheng's company will collaborate with another company (the one who do Zhang Ji Zhong's Jing Yong novel remake) to do a remake of Xiao Ao Jiang Hu. Although I am not a fan of Zhang Ji Zhong's remake, and Xiao Ao Jiang Hu is not my favourite Jing Yong's novel, I am still very excited with this new!! I just hope Hu Ge and Yang Mi could be casted as Ling Hu Chong and Ren Ying Ying! Sadly, Hu Ge is one of the best actor of Tangren's company...and considering that Yu Zheng and Tangren's relation is...hmm.....not very good....well, we can say that their relation is...very bad! But still! I still have hope!
My recast
Hu Ge as Ling Hu Chong
In an interview, Hu Ge once said that Ling Hu Chong is his favourite Jing Yong character so he may do his best to play his favourite character!! :D Ling Hu Chong isn't my favourite kind of character for Hu Ge to play but it shouldn'be that bad, Hu Ge can portray this character! Plus, from what I've read on spcnet forum, a lot of people choose Hu Ge as Ling Hu Chong!! Hope Yu Zheng will approach him for the role and hope that Hu Ge can accept even if Tangren doesn't let him go!
Yang Mi as Ren Ying Ying
I really want to see Yang Mi playing wuxia series and leave those palace series alone! I want to see her fighting! In Chinese Paladin 3, she didn't fight often...we can only see her doing a few moves...Ren Ying Ying is a complicated character, she is evil but she is very caring toward Ling Hu Chong. Sometimes, she is cold to him but inside she likes him. She also have a cute side and she is often jealous when Ling Hu Chong mentions Yue Ling Shan! Anyways, it's a hard character to portray but I do think that Yang Mi can do it. Just look at Xue Jian and Xi Yao!! Yang Mi's acting was just too good that we felt like they were two different person!
Yuan Hong as Lin Ping Zhi
Yuan Hong have the look the a rich spoiled guy and he somehow have a evil look too, just like his Yang Kang in Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008. Lin Ping Zhi was actually a rich guy too until his parents got killed. Plus, I don't know but I can picture his acting like a gay :D No, I don't mean that Yuan Hong is too feminine or whatever but...he can do it? Right?
Tang Yan as Yue Ling Shan
Hehe no, I didn't put Liu Shi Shi for the role even if I like Yuan Hong to be paired up with Liu Shi Shi. I put Tang Yang because I think she is just so cute and lovely when she played the young Zi Xuan when she first met Gu Liu Fang (Wallace Huo) in Chinese Paladin 3! Yang Mi would make a very good Yue Ling Shan too but I rather have her as Ren Ying Ying so that she can pair up with Hu Ge and she can leave that cute and sweet girl roles! ;D
Liu Shi Shi as Yi Lin
At first, I didn't have anyone who can portray Yi Lin, there were not any actress that I can picture bald, but then I saw a fanmade MV of Xiao Ao Jiang Hu where Liu Shi Shi was casted as Yi Lin, the person used clips of Liu Shi Shi from Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008 when she was pretending to be a nun. So yah....now that I've think about it, Yi Lin is not necessary bald! :D Liu Shi Shi have a sleepy look, she can absolutely portray a nun!
