One is the Langyuan Immortal, and the other is the Jade Flawless.
If there is no strange fate, this life will meet him again;
If there is a strange fate, how to talk about it in the end.
The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has been replayed thousands of times since its premiere and has been hailed as an "insurmountable classic".
Readers who are familiar with "Dream of the Red Chamber" are not difficult to find that the reason why it can become the first of the four famous works in China and specially establish the study of "Red Studies" is inseparable from its expansion of rich and wonderful Chinese culture.
A literary novel that has been cut into countless fragments more than a hundred times, where to start? Where can you find the exquisite architecture? What about the costume design? Props? The key thing is where the actors are looking... Moreover, the whole country does not know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, including many masters of red studies.
After director Wang Fulin proposed to shoot the Dream of the Red Chamber, he first decided to start a one-year retreat from himself and study "Dream of the Red Chamber".
"I'm not a red scholar, I'm not familiar with Dream of the Red Chamber!" I had to learn from scratch, and for a year I read the Red Chamber behind closed doors, read relevant research articles, read relevant reviews, read about the character theories and folklore of "Dream of the Red Chamber"..."
In 1983, the screenwriting team of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was formally established, and many experts were also invited to meet and demonstrate, and the first draft was completed after nine months of joint efforts, and the master of red studies, Zhou Ruchang, personally reviewed it. It is with such a strong team that we have the classic film and television works that we see today.
So we have to admire the professionalism of the older generation of artists.
On the contrary, the 10th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is in stark contrast to it, in a column, director Li Shaohong not only admitted that he had not seriously read "Dream of the Red Chamber", but also called the original "ghost story", which triggered heated discussion among netizens.
A good work is inseparable from the fascinating music, it is said that the composer Wang Liping was the first to enter the crew, and he was recognized by Director Wang with a sincere attitude.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" is good in the original book on the architecture, clothing, and even the character's hairstyle, appearance are described in detail, and the music can only rely on the reader to experience, just as the so-called a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, what kind of tone should be set? Where to start?
Teacher Wang Liping consulted a lot of materials, including all previous versions of the film and television, and finally decided to be "full of sorrow and infinite emotion".
The theme song alone, "Frowning", took a year and nine months. Subsequently, he created "Red Bean Song" and "Funeral Flower Song" in one go, which are still popular classics.
Among them, I have to mention "Flesh and Bones", which is the last song created by Wang Liping for the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and it has been impossible to start.
"Three thousand sails and winds and rains, throw the flesh and bones of the homeland together..." Such a scene Cao Xueqin has long been fixed, but how to show it, this is sad for Wang Liping.
Early one morning, Wang Liping's mind suddenly flashed the scene of "a weak woman bidding farewell to her homeland and relatives and moving towards a vast and unknowable future", and the melody of the song slowly flowed out. After writing the song, Wang Liping, who was still not out of the mood, actually cried on the piano.
The red carpet, a lonely woman married to another, the whole clip has no words, just rely on "Separated Bones" and the actors' various performances to present to the audience.
In addition to Tanchun, the saddest thing in this section is her birth mother, Aunt Zhao, who cried like a tearful person, and interpreted this helplessness of the ancient feudal concubine to the fullest, wanting to go forward and say two words to hug her daughter, Wang Xifeng's eyes fiercely stopped her from this impulse...
The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" actors from the national audition, more than a hundred girls, months of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, diet and living training, this perseverance is not comparable to the current film and television dramas.
Brave girl
One day, a handsome man placed a copy of "Popular Television" on the desk of a young woman.
"China TV drama production center, CCTV is preparing to shoot the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber". Dai Dunbang talked about how to choose Bao, Dai, and Chao, don't be in a daze, write a letter. ”
"Write a letter? Who's the knot?"
"Write directly to director Wang Fulin and tell him that you are the best candidate for Lin Daiyu."
"Kill me and don't write."
"Why?"
"I don't do such a stupid thing. China is so big that no one will notice an obscure little girl. Writing letters is even more sentimental, not to write and not to write. ”
"Why are you so timid?" Your appearance and temperament are close to the requirements, you love "Dream of the Red Chamber", understand Lin Daiyu, with these, do not dare to fight once?"
"How do you know I don't dare?"
"Do you dare?"
"Of course I dare!"
"Well, write a letter."
"Write and write."
After the letter was written, she deliberately found a small photo of her life, and sent out the latest published time behind her, along with an article on "Dream of the Red Chamber" and Lin Daiyu's analysis.
I am a willow flower, grown up in the beautiful spring,
Because my parents abandoned me prematurely, I became a confidant with Chunfeng.
I am a willow flower, don't ask where my home is,
May the spring wind to the ends of the earth, and I will bring the news of spring to the corners of the earth.
I am a willow flower, born carefree and carefree,
My dad is the vast sky, my mom is the vast earth.
This is Lin Daiyu's actor Chen Xiaoxu.
Director Wang Fulin said that if there is no poet's temperament, no good actor can play Lin Daiyu.
At that time, Chen Xiaoxu was only the third candidate of Daiyu, and it was not difficult to imagine how excellent the first two were.
The director once asked Chen Xiaoxu: "If you were asked to play other roles, would you be willing?" ”
Chen Xiaoxu thought about it and said, "If I go to play another role, the audience will think that Lin Daiyu is playing someone else." ”
It was not until later that Wang Dao recalled that although Chen Xiaoxu was not the most beautiful, his comprehensive temperament was indeed the most in line with Lin Daiyu.com.
Heartless willow shade - Baochao
Baochao is played by Zhang Li, a ballet dancer from the Chengdu Military Region.
She just went to audition with her teacher's daughter, and she didn't know what the crew was. At the end of the trial, the staff saw Baochao and let her try it by the way.
But who knows, Zhang Li surprised everyone after trying on makeup.
She originally wanted to play Daiyu's beard, Zi Juan, but the role she had trained in the last three months was BaoChao.
Later, according to the screenwriter's disclosure, it was said that Baochao must be dignified, stable and mature, and more importantly, an age benchmark, as the big sister of Daguanyuan is more mature than other sisters, but it cannot be too big, which is our treasure sister.
Where did the jade come from
In 1983, the first page of popular film magazine published an article entitled "How to Choose the Actors of Bao Daichao", which contained the following needs for Jia Baoyu:
Face protein, fat but not stupid, not very round; to have a little handsome youthfulness, can not be completely submerged in fat powder; to have a blooming peach blossom-like face; big eyes are watery, eyelashes are obvious, the face can have a pair of intoxicating dimples...
After the first training, Baoyu has not yet come, so much so that some people say that Jia Baoyu's actor has not yet been born, and the previous rehearsal has been the actor dongfang Wenying in the cameo.
Someone suggested that if no one could be found, let people make a cameo, and the director vetoed it.
Hou Changrong, who plays the King of Beijing and Liu Xianglian, is a beautiful man recognized by the crew, he has always wanted to play Baoyu, only because his masculinity is too heavy, the director believes that he does not meet Baoyu's rouge, Baoyu is a person who wants to lie in bed with Daiyu, grinding with her ears, is a very pure person, can not let people think that he is obscene, can only feel demented and stupid.
I also had to admire their generation of artists, for the sake of the entire crew, Hou Changrong introduced Ouyang Fenqiang to the crew. After meeting, the director felt that his baby face was "too small to play an adult, too big to play a child", and had great potential, so he let him go to Beijing to audition.
Ouyang Fenqiang once recalled the scene on the day he went to Beijing to audition: "The 24 young men who screened out to try Baoyu were all dressed very fashionably, and compared with them, I was a turtle with a crumpled vest on the upper body, shorts underneath, and a pair of slippers." ”
But who knows that after makeup, the scruffy Ouyang judged the two, his appearance and performance, was unanimously recognized by the crew, and he interpreted Baoyu's stubbornness and obsession deeply into the hearts of the people.
Five years later, a "Red Chamber" turned out to be a high rating. However, it seems that it is difficult for these actors to jump out of the circle of the Red Chamber.
Heaven has Chen Xiaoxu, and there is no Lin Daiyu in the world
After "Dream of the Red Chamber", Chen Xiaoxu acted in "Family Spring and Autumn", but because the role of Lin Daiyu was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter how she played Cousin Mei, the audience still felt that Lin Daiyu was playing another role.
By chance, she set up an advertising agency, slowly starting from the initial production department, and in just a few years, she achieved career success, and in 2005, she was awarded the honorary title of "China's Economic Person of the Year" by the "World Manager" Weekly.
In 2007, Chen Xiaoxu, who was in the ascendancy of his career, suddenly announced his renunciation and died of breast cancer three months later. From Chen Xiaoxu, who had full hair, to Master Miaozhen, who had lost her hair as a nun, Xiaoxu once again changed her identity. From actor to businessman, Xiao Xu only took three short years, from businessman to monk, Xiao Xu spent ten years.
Jia Mu played by Li Ting died of cerebral hemorrhage in 1994 at the age of 73; Jia Rui's actor Ma Guangru was only 33 years old when he died; Lin Ruhai played by Zheng Qianlong was only a pity that the day did not leave the year, Lin Daiyu entered Jia Province not long ago, Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, and then donated to Yangzhou City.
What is even more coincidental is that Zheng Qianlong's death time is actually the same year as Chen Xiaoxu, both in 2007.
Zhang Li, the actor of Bao's sister, went abroad to do business in the sea; Ouyang changed his career to become a director, but it was also difficult to get out of the shadow of Jia Baoyu.
I have countless beautiful dreams, and the most beautiful ones started here...
In April, the pink Yuanmingyuan, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms bloom all over the hillside, poplars, willows glow with a new green, fragrant and wind blowing in every lonely corner of this ancient garden, into the ruined Western-style building, but also with a burning shoulder of The Billion awakened from a long nightmare.
Spring is coming, spring is really coming, and the quaint Yuanmingyuan opens its deep heart and warmly embraces a group of spring messengers from all directions.
