"The Four" Modern Version



Personal Note: I saw this clip a while back now, and I was pretty excited to watch the clip then and now. Ha ha.... A modern version of "The Four" would be promising if TVB would ever cast the four siu sangs in the same series again, but I don't think TVB is planning that any time soon.

  2. Yeah, I wasn't fond of Sammul's hair in SL2 as well. Especially when he looked so good in part one. He he...

  3. Well, Sammul wore a wig in SL2, therefore it doesn't look natural.

    The clip looks good, though the Eglish captions feels a bit weird... hahaha...

  4. The clip was put together nicely but the quality sucks. The music made me laugh more than feel intense, haha. It would be awesome though if TVB did a modern The Four, lol. I'm sure lots of people would go crazy over it and now that a clip's up, maybe we'll see some petitions starting soon. ;)

  5. Yeah, Sammul did wear a wig in SL2, but in some scenes it did look okay. He he...

    Fans of "The Four" should start something so TVB can listen to what fans want. :D

  7. hey! I can't watch the modern version of The Four in this tieba.baidu. When I click the link, the web just pop up something in Chinese and not showing the video. Can you fix it or showing another link of this video! I'm dying of waiting to watch "Modern" The Four!
    BTW, Imma big big fan of this serie, though. Think ya are too haha!
    And my idol out of all four is Cold Blood!!! Handsome, cool, too cold too wild, just like a wolf, enduring, prompt and sensible in solving every case, and a master of swordship of all time!!! GO Cold Blood!!!

    The link has been removed by the author in baidu. Sorry, I do not have the clip.

    Hopefully, fans will make another clip soon. :)

    Yes, I am a huge fan of "The Four". Did you just watch it on TV? I know it had just aired in Canada and in the US. :)

  9. No, I watched it 2 motnhs ago on HD DVD but still be addicted to it, haha! Especially Cold Blood, I got a huge collection of pics, MVs, infos about him and trying to read all the original "men-it's-long" novel of Sei Tai Ming Bo! :))

    Well, really upset that this show is just 25-ep! It was supposed to be 30. Damn TVB! Hope there will be part 2 of The Four or as ya've mentioned: Modern Version!!! :D

    FYI, I'm from Vietnam, not from US nor Canada! Guess that ya're Asian too, right?

    "The Four" is supposed to be 25 episodes long. When it was aired in HK, TVB cut one episode to accommodate the airing of "The Gem of Life".

    It will be very difficult for them four to film in the same series again. The chances of that happening is very slim.

  11. The Four original version was 30-ep. But because for some stupid reasons that TVB made up so they just cut into 25(DVD version). And then because of The Gem Of Life, then they cut into 24(TV version). Especially, Cold Blood and Life Chaser's scenes was cut most! God Damn, it sucks!

    Well, there are many many difficulties for them four though, but just hope so, haha! :))

    BTW, if ya can read Chinese, so why doncha have a look at the original novel "The Four Great Young Constables"? :D

  12. To Lang Huet:

    Yes, I do know how to read Chinese, but I don't think I'll be able to read a novel full of Chinese characters though. He he.... :D

  13. Yeah ya right! A whole novel full with unknown character definitely will get on ya nerve haha! But if there is English-translated novel so it would be great! :D

    Haiz, if the director had invested and concentrated in this film, The Four would has won TVB Best Drama and Ron would has won My Most Fav Male Character for Cold Blood! :))

  14. I don't think Cold-Blooded would win fav. character even if the storyline was better written. The others would be nominated, too. So, I think Iron Fist or Chasing Life would have a better chance. I am only referring to their characters and not them in real life. :)

  15. Well, Ron did a very good job in illustrating Cold Blood and make viewers understand clearly the coldness and coolness this character orginally is in the novel! [illustrating a person who is cold outside but very sensitive inside is hard, but he did it] Besides, this role is his best act ever since he's acted a the same kind of boring character before. So I think he should have win if the storyline had been better and the script had concentrated more in his background [especially the scene when Chu Kot saw his jade when he was injured, and instead of killing him, Chu Kot just made him one of the constables, and after that, no explanation what was their relationship anyway and why?]==> cheesy script.

    About Life Chaser and Iron Fist, they are very interesting too. In fact, they are the ones make this serie funny haha. But for winning, I don't think so because besides the other 3, Life Chaser is unoriginal compared with the novel. Life Chaser is supposed to be a drinking person and wine is the main factor that make his martial art stronger and better. And Iron Fist, he is kind and sweet, a powerful-hand person, illustrating this character is the easiest in all 4. But ya are right, Kenneth did a great job though and they should nominate him in the list instead of another roles. :D

  16. The promo was a little amateur but I love the concept. I would love a modern drama with the cast from The Four. Raymond, Ron, Sammul and Kenneth for the guys. As for girls: Selena, Fala, Nancy and maybe Tavia would be totally awesome.

    I can't decide if I want Selena to pair up with Ray or Kenneth because she has so great chemistry with them both. Ron should definitely be paired up with Tavia! Or Nancy actually, since I thought they were cute too in TOB. But could you imagine the possibilities? Instead of Tavia, I could also see Bernice. She would also make a good match for Kenneth, because she's so tall too. But whom should be paired up with Sammul? I can't really recall any great TVB past pairings for him and I'm so in love with his pairing with Ruby in "Schemes of a Beauty", I can't imagine anyone better for him.

  17. I'm sure someone can do a fanfic for the modern version. I'd love to read it if one exist or will be made.
