The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has become an insurmountable classic, more than thirty years later, not with the passage of time, but also lasting. Mention "Dream of the Red Chamber" I believe that the picture that comes to everyone's mind is the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Chen Xiaoxu's Lin Daiyu, Ouyang Fenqiang's Jia Baoyu, Deng Jie's Wang Xifeng, Zhang Li's Xue Baochao, An Wen's Qingwen, Yuan Mei's attacker...
The classic is insurmountable, Li Shaohong's new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", although the funds and technology, compared with that year has been greatly improved, after the shooting, but it was spit out of the skin, in addition to once again pushing the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" to an insurmountable position, there is nothing worth affirming. Since then, no one has dared to try again.
The reason why the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is so classic is the result of "favorable times and places", there will never be a TV series, there can be such an opportunity, and there will never be any director who can make such a effort for a TV series.
In order to shoot "Dream of the Red Chamber", director Wang Fulin deliberately took a year to study the original work, and then the national audition of actors, the selection of actors in line with the original work, and then spent a huge amount of money to open a study class, the selected actors, into the people in the Grand View Garden. Director Wang Fulin prepared for more than two years before filming began, filming for nearly three years, and filming a 36-episode TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber".
During the filming process, director Wang Fulin strives for excellence, has high requirements for costumes, makeup, scenes, and props, and must be completely in line with the original work, and has high standards for the actor's lines, tone, context, and even tone, and each shot must be repeatedly considered to achieve the best effect.
This point, Yuan Mei, who played the attacker, remembers it particularly deeply. Years later, Yuan Mei recalled: "At that time, when filming, I sometimes shot one or two shots a day. Sometimes it is said that I shot well today, 10 shots were taken, and everyone thinks that there are many, many shots, because each shot is taken in the process of polishing and careful and repeated consideration. ”
When filming the scene "Love Cut Good Night Flower Explanation, Meaning Quiet Moon Jade Shengxiang", Bao Yu wanted to tell Dai Yu a story, there were large lines, at that time Ouyang Fenqiang did not memorize the lines, wanted to wait for the scene to shoot again. As a result, when shooting, he couldn't remember the lines at all, so he had to shoot them over and over again, and finally even the lighting master was annoyed.
When filming the scene of "Xue Pan Hitting Xiangling", Chen Honghai, who played Xue Pan, looked at Chen Jianyue's pink face and was reluctant to hit the other party, just gently hit it, Chen Jianyue did not have any feelings. The director told Chen Honghai that you have to beat it hard, so that you can't beat Xiangling.
However, Chen Honghai still couldn't bear to do it, and after shooting it again, the director was still not satisfied. In this way, I shot one after another, and I shot it until two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I didn't finish shooting it. Director Wang Fulin couldn't bear it anymore, and directly became angry, scolding Chen Honghai, "What's the matter with you, in the end can you shoot?" You're delaying everyone's time. ”
Chen Honghai had no choice but to grit his teeth, raise his arm, and hit XiangLing fiercely. This time, the director was satisfied. However, Chen Jianyue, who played Xiangling, was almost deafened in the ear and buzzed for a long time.
When filming the scene "Baoyu Kicking and Attacking People on a Rainy Day", it was not a one-time event. It was raining, Baoyu knocked on the door outside the door, and the rings were frolicking in the courtyard, and they didn't hear the knocking. As Baoyu knocked on the door more and more tightly, the attacker heard the movement and ran out to open the door for Baoyu. Second Master Bao, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was already furious, and as soon as the door opened, he kicked at the person who opened the door.
This kick was very strong, and the attacker fell to the ground at once. Bao Yu fixed his eyes on it, and it turned out that it was the attacker who opened the door for himself, and he quickly explained that he did not know that it was her. As a result, the attack at night vomited blood, so it can be seen that this kick was really fierce.
At that time, when filming this scene, Yuan Mei was kicked three times by Ouyang Fenqiang.
The first time I shot it, Yuan Mei was kicked by Ouyang Fenqiang, but the shooting was not good, so she came again. With the first shooting, Yuan Mei had experience and knew how to hide. The two shot twice more and passed smoothly.
The filming process is also a process of continuous grinding and learning of the actors. With the increase of shooting time, the actors became more and more devoted and recognized to their roles, more and more integrated with the role, and later reached the point where the actor only put on the costume, where to stand, without performing, to know which role it was.
All this, director Wang Fulin is indispensable. He is good at discovering the inner potential of actors, finding actors suitable for the role, and creating one plump and three-dimensional classic artistic image after another.
