The old version of the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber" lives in the common memory of generations. From the beginning of its birth to the classic, this series has experienced decades of waves and sand washing. Even now that we open it again and watch it, the audience will still be deeply immersed in it. Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochao and Fengjie have become spiritual friends in the hearts of red science enthusiasts. If cao Xueqin is behind the famous book "Dream of the Red Chamber", then who is standing behind the TV series of Dream of the Red Chamber?
It is the director Wang Fulin. In an interview, Wang Fulin once admitted that the original intention of shooting TV dramas was to popularize and let more people understand the famous works. The Dream of the Red Mansions TV series has been well-known for more than thirty years, and countless certificates on a red background and Phnom Penh have long proved Wang Fulin's success, but few people know the story behind the shooting of the Dream of the Red Chamber.
From a young Junjie who graduated from a college to a director of Dream of the Red Chamber, Wang Fulin has been diligently cultivating in his field for more than 20 years. Wang Fulin has a wide range of hobbies, and is proficient in the subset of history, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
As he grew older, his experience also increased, but what worried him the most was the dream of the Red Chamber that he had already read well. Wang Fulin wanted to film the Dream of the Red Chamber, which can be said to be a wish, but when he put forward this wish to the director of CCTV, he did not expect it to suddenly become true.
Photographing the Dream of the Red Chamber is both a special honor and a burden for Wang Fulin. In order to successfully complete this work, Wang Fulin, who has always been known for his boldness, also began to become cautious, especially in the casting.
After getting rid of all distractions, studying the original book intently for a year, and confirming that there were almost no mistakes in what he saw and thought, he began to work on the drama. Wang Fulin applied for special funds and began to select roles nationwide.
So many rear actors, from the finalization to the final determination of the role, are after Wang Fulin's long-term observation and investigation. Wang Fulin said to the actors: You must really eat the role thoroughly, and you must really and truly talk about a relationship.
The Dream of the Red Chamber crew was particularly cautious about the casting of Daiyu. In the end, It was established that Chen Xiaoxu played the heroine, and there was also a past behind it. Prior to that, Chen Xiaoxu lived in Anshan, Liaoning Province, and was a young member of the Repertory Theatre. When he heard that the Dream of the Red Chamber crew was recruiting actors, Chen Xiaoxu plucked up the courage to sign up, and Chen Xiaoxu was only 17 years old this year.
At that time, there were many girls who should choose the role of Daiyu, and even Chen Xiaoxu himself was worried, but the director Wang Fulin was discerning and finally designated her as the heroine.
Among the candidates, Chen Xiaoxu can not be regarded as beautiful, compared with another candidate, Zhang Jinglin, Chen Xiaoxu cannot win in appearance, and what really impresses Wang Fulin is Chen Xiaoxu's temperament. When Chen Xiaoxu introduced himself, he once sent a letter to Wang Fulin, which sealed the poems he had already published, and expressed his desire to play Lin Daiyu, while also making a detailed analysis of the role of Daiyu.
Wang Fulin on behalf of the crew to meet Chen Xiaoxu on the day, just in the drizzle, a 17-year-old girl came from the drizzle, into the eyes of director Wang Fulin, let Wang Fulin's eyes light up, Chen Xiaoxu is not beautiful enough, but the standard of casting is not just appearance.
After a few hours of long talk, Wang Fulin was already convinced in his heart, Chen Xiaoxu's temperament and the feeling he brought to people must be no different from Lin Daiyu. It is precisely because of this that Wang Fulin said something like, "I'd rather Chen Xiaoxu's not being pretty than Zhang Jinglin's being pretty."
The success of Dream of the Red Chamber has proved that Wang Fulin's vision is very unique. Until a later interview, Wang Fulin also said that casting is a major feature of the Dream of the Red Chamber. This remarkable director has directed two famous works of the Three Kingdoms of the Red Chamber. Chen Xiaoxu's Lin Daiyu and Tang Guoqiang's Zhuge Liang are the results of Wang Fulin's discernment and willingness to use new people.
As he said: We can also choose mature actors with superb acting skills, but in that case, how can we perform the quiet day and the two people playing at the head of the bed, but not letting people have obscene thoughts?
