In the history of Chinese television, the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is an insurmountable classic masterpiece, which has been filmed for five years and filmed for three years, and all the crew members have worked hard to push this drama to the altar.
The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has been broadcast more than a thousand times on major television stations since its inception, which is something that no drama has ever achieved.
The crew did not invite the famous actors at that time, let alone invite the big names to play the role, the director through the national audition, selected the actor whose temperament is closest to the role, and the actor's experience and background have nothing to do with the actor's experience and background. And there are too many characters in "Dream of the Red Chamber", so many interesting things happened in the process of casting.
There is no doubt that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are the number one male and female protagonists of "Dream of the Red Chamber", so they are particularly valued by the director when casting, and Jia Baoyu's actor Ouyang Fenqiang is the last to enter the group, in fact, before him, several "Jia Baoyu" have been determined, but they have been brushed down for various reasons.
Jia Rui's actor Ma Guangru is one of Jia Baoyu's candidates, originally the director Wang Fulin was very optimistic about him, but before filming began, Ma Guangru's face was full of pimples, unable to play the heavyweight role of Jia Baoyu.
The director can only endure the pain of cutting love, and Ma Guangru finally became "Jared", and the contrast between the two roles is too great, which makes Ma Guangru unable to accept it for a long time.
There is also a Jia Baoyu candidate who has entered the group in the early stage of "Dream of the Red Chamber", but in the few years of staying in the crew, this young man's height is rubbed and long, which is completely inconsistent with Jia Baoyu's archetypal temperament, and it does not match the height of other actresses in the crew, and finally it is also brushed off.
Liu Xianglian's actor Hou Changrong was also one of Jia Baoyu's candidates because of his handsome appearance, and was later brushed because he was too tall to meet jia Baoyu's characteristics.
But director Wang Fulin really liked Hou Changrong's face, so he starred in two roles in the play, both of which were absolutely beautiful men, one was Liu Xianglian and the other was the King of Beijing, and he didn't see it when he was a child.
Ouyang Fenqiang entered the group at the latest, but because of hard work, he quickly caught up with the footsteps of other actors, and in order to make it easier to put on makeup, he has always shaved his head.
Jia Baoyu's casting has many dramatic anecdotes, and Lin Daiyu's casting is no exception.
At the beginning, Qin Keqing's actor Zhang Lei, Qingwen's actor Zhang Jinglin, Qiutong's actor Shen Lu, and XiChun's actor Hu Zehong were all candidates for Lin Daiyu. Zhang Lei was not selected because she was too old (the picture above is Qin Keqing's actor Zhang Lei).
Zhang Jinglin was brushed because of his temperament like a crazy.
Hu Zehong was also removed from the scene because he was too able to chat with director Wang Fulin.
To say that the most wronged is Qiu Tong's actor Shen Lu.
As a candidate for Lin Daiyu, all the actresses who have been selected are trying their best to "pretend" to Lin Daiyu's temperament, but which temperament can be easily pretended? Shen Lu took the lead in dancing a disco at the party, not only did not play the melancholy Lin Daiyu, but also became the spicy and brutal QiuTong.
In the end, Chen Xiaoxu successfully won the role of Lin Daiyu with the melancholy temperament of the poet, but director Wang Fulin has always regretted that Chen Xiaoxu is not beautiful enough, if it is more beautiful.
Even if it is not beautiful enough, the director feels that the melancholy temperament of Chen Xiaoxu is the most rare.
Although Chen Xiaoxu has a melancholy temperament, Chen Xiaoxu is not depressed at all, she is not only not melancholy, but also very eccentric, mingling with everyone in the crew and liking to play pranks with others.
When Ouyang Fenqiang first entered the group, the director gave Ouyang Fenqiang a privilege to allow him and the girls in the crew to play pranks to find Jia Baoyu's feelings, and Chen Xiaoxu was happy at that time, because pranks were her specialty.
Chen Xiaoxu also likes to give nicknames to the crew, when in the crew, Chen Xiaoxu and Xi Chun's actor Hu Zehong lived in a dormitory, once Hu Zehong's father came to see her, Chen Xiaoxu said to Hu Zehong's father: "Your girlfriend looks so small, like a strange bean."
Hu Zehong was not convinced at that time, saying: "You look so white, like a white rat, you are a rat essence", since then, "strange bean" and "rat essence" have become her two nicknames.
When Ouyang Fenqiang first entered the group, he was eating in the canteen, and a fly flew around him, and Chen Xiaoxu quipped: "When you didn't come, we didn't have any flies here, and as soon as you came, there were flies around you, are you attracting flies?" Then we will call you 'Recruiter' from now on! ”
Once, director Wang Fulin sat quietly by the small river alone thinking about the details of filming, just when Chen Xiaoxu and Hu Zehong saw it, Chen Xiaoxu said: "Do you look like a lonely little boy?" At that time, a song "Lonely Little Boy" was popular, and the director became the "Lonely Little Boy", and she also sang songs to tease the director.
Chen Xiaoxu has a cheerful personality, eccentric, in the crew deeply loved by everyone, Jia Tanchun's actor Dongfang Wenying once said that she only played with boys in the crew, she did not like girls, girls did not like her, but she only played with Chen Xiaoxu.
It can be seen that Chen Xiaoxu is loved by everyone.
About the casting, there are more interesting things, Teacher Li Ting was originally the line instructor of the crew, because the crew has not been able to find the actor of Jia Mu, so let Teacher Li Ting try it, as soon as the makeup is put on, everyone is bright, and the noble and kind temperament is Jia Mu Benmu.
Many of the songs in "Dream of the Red Chamber" are sung by singer Chen Li, in order to make many songs in "Dream of the Red Chamber", Chen Li also stayed in the crew for several years like other actors, concentrating on learning songs and recording songs.
Since he was locked up in the crew for several years, of course, he could not let the resources go, Chen Li was also pulled by the director to act in "Dream of the Red Chamber", playing not a lady, a wife, nor a lady, but playing a kitchen chef, the singer and the chef back and forth naturally switched back and forth, I have to say that the "Dream of the Red Chamber" crew is too powerful to create people.
The actor who played Wang Xifeng was originally Le Yun, who was in love with Hong Kong actor Luo Lie at the time, and desperately gave up the opportunity to play Wang Xifeng and followed Luo Lie to Hong Kong.
When Deng Jie starred in Wang Xifeng, she was not optimistic about many people. Because she is too short, everyone thinks that Deng Jie does not have the prestige of a phoenix spicy child, which makes Deng Jie very stressed, fortunately, it turns out that Deng Jie not only played Wang Xifeng well, but also achieved the classic, unmatched Wang Xifeng.
In terms of casting, the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" vividly interprets the word "yin and yang", and in terms of marriage, it lets us know what is "unexpected".
Gao Hongliang, the actor of the beautiful man Jia Lian, and Hu Yan, the makeup artist of the crew, came together, which surprised many people. You know, Gao Hongliang is a real beautiful man, although he is not from a science class, but because of his handsome appearance, the director painfully rejected several professional actors and insisted on letting Gao Hongliang play Jia Lian.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" crew is full of beautiful women, gao Hongliang and the makeup artist Hu Yan, who is plain-looking and 3 years older than him, came together. But it turns out that Gao Hongliang's choice was right, and the two now have a daughter and are very happy.
Xiang Ling's fate in the play is very tragic, originally a lady from a large family, but she was sold as a lady, and finally died tragically in the Xue family, the life of the real lady.
But in reality, Chen Jianyue, the actor of Xiangling, is very lucky and comes together with Hou Changrong, the actor of Liu Xianglian.
The two have almost no intersection in the play, but they gradually fell in love in the days of the crew, and eventually became an enviable couple.
Wang Xifeng's close-knit maid Ping'er and Jia Yun, who has the best ending in the play, have become lovers in reality.
Because the crew was not allowed to fall in love at that time, Jia Yun's actor Wu Xiaodong and Ping'er's actor Shen Lin kept a distance after the crew had a good feeling for each other, and did not even dare to pull their hands.
After filming "Dream of the Red Chamber", the two went to their own jobs, and finally got married after several years of love and long-distance running, and now, Wu Xiaodong is not only a senior actor, but also an excellent director. And the versatile Shen Lin has become the woman behind Wu Xiaodong, the husband and son, and the family is happy!
The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has passed 35 years, and looking at these interesting things behind it, it is really nostalgic.
