87 "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a classic masterpiece, which has been enduring for thirty years, and is talked about by the public and never tired of watching.
This TV series is a costume series created by CCTV, directed by Wang Fulin, starring Ouyang Fenqiang, Chen Xiaoxu, Zhang Li, Deng Jie, An Wen and others.
This drama was prepared for five years, filmed for three years, before filming Wang Fulin specially took a year to study "Dream of the Red Chamber", and then adopted the method of national audition, selected actors, invited a huge advisory group, and opened two study classes with huge funds, and the actors were taught by red science experts, pointed out, and analyzed, so that the actors had a change of rebirth.
At that time, the TV drama market was not yet mature, at most it was a single book, no serial drama was filmed at all, there was no experience to learn from, Wang Fulin had only filmed one "Enemy Camp Eighteen Years" before, so in the face of such a heavy burden, Wang Fulin had no bottom in his heart, and some sincere fears.
He wanted to ask for help from external forces and asked the big director to direct with him, and the CCTV leader agreed. However, he looked around and did not find it. Some people did not want to come, some people politely refused, it was difficult to find the shade of the North Film Studio, and before the shooting began, he died unexpectedly, and in desperation, Wang Fulin had to personally go into battle.
Under such a huge pressure, Wang Fulin heard that the North Film Studio wanted to shoot a film version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the director was Xie Tieli, and many of the characters in the play were well-known movie stars, which made him even more stressed, which made him decide to make a good "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Therefore, throughout the shooting process, Wang Fulin is strictly demanding, striving for excellence, and making no relaxation in every link. For the use of stand-ins, it is even more cautious.
After all, "Dream of the Red Chamber" is not a fight scene, there is no difficult action, although some scenes have a certain degree of difficulty for actors, but as long as the actors can perform, try to use actors. Compared with the stand-in, the actor's own performance is more natural and smooth.
Deng Jie filmed "The Death of Wang Xifeng", before Wang Dao had said to use a stand-in, but when the shooting began, Wang Daoti did not mention this matter, Deng Jie also died of this heart, well, then go on your own.
The crew went to a wildlife sanctuary in Harbin, where the temperature was nearly minus forty degrees. Deng Jie was dressed in single clothes and pants, barefoot, bare neck, wrapped in a broken mat, in the ice and snow, was pulled to shoot one after another, eight in a row. Deng Jie was frozen and white, almost fainting, really did not need makeup, and was almost like a dead person.
Chen Xiaoxu filmed "Lin Daiyu playing the guqin", Wang Fulin asked Chen Xiaoxu if he could do it, if he couldn't do it, he would find a stand-in, Chen Xiaoxu said, no problem. Therefore, Chen Xiaoxu specifically found a guqin teacher to study.
Chen Xiaoxu did not have any guqin foundation, and in two days, he learned to play this small section with wisdom and hard work, and the playing was fake and real, just like it.
Chen Jianyue filmed "Xiangling was beaten", Chen Honghai, who played Xue Pan, couldn't bear to fight, and he couldn't beat it hard enough again and again, Wang Fulin was very angry, saying, If you fight like this, you can't beat Xiangling.
This scene, filmed until two o'clock in the morning, has not been filmed well, director Wang Fulin was anxious, helpless, Chen Honghai had to quietly say to Chen Jianyue "sorry", and then picked up his arm and hit it hard, this time the effect is really good, it passed at once, but Chen Jianyue was dizzy, and his ears were ringing for more than twenty days.
……
For every scene in the play, Wang Fulin strives for perfection, strives for excellence, and can resolutely not use a stand-in without a stand-in, but for her alone, an exception is made.
In order to find a stand-in for her, Wang Fulin gathered all the girls in the crew together, looked at them carefully one by one, and finally, selected Jin Lili, who played Yingchun, to be her as a stand-in.
She is Zhang Li, the actor of Xue Baochao in the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber". This scene is "Xue Baochao shyly making red musk strings", Jin Lili gave Zhang Li a hand model, and the hand that appeared in the play was Jin Lili's hand.
Xue Baochao and Lin Daiyu are the heroines of the play, Baochao is plump and Dai Yu is thin. At that time, Zhang Li was slim, and in order to better perform the role, director Wang Fulin also asked her to eat more.
Zhang Li's face is round and delicate, in the lens, it is very in line with Xue Baochao's image of "the face is like a silver basin, the eyes are the same as the water apricot, the lips are not dotted and contain Dan, and the eyebrows are not painted and horizontal".
And in this scene, It was Bao Yu who saw Bao Chao's snow-white arms, and he was a little salivating and envious. Because of his conservative thinking at that time, Wang Fulin replaced "arm" with "hand".
Zhang Li's hands are also very good-looking, but some are thin and not very plump.
Although this is only a flash of shots, but in the spirit of being responsible for the work, Wang Fulin wanted to find a hand model for Zhang Li, and among the many actors, he chose Jin Lili.
Years later, When Jin Lili mentioned this matter, she still said with some disgust that she did not let me play Baochao, and she had to use my hands.
Therefore, the delicate and plump hand we see in the play is not Zhang Li's, but Jin Lili's. For this hand, Wang Fulin searched through the entire crew of actresses to find the best looking hand that most fits Xue Baochao.
Actors can perform in person, they resolutely do not use stand-ins, which is an attitude that Wang Fulin is responsible for the work and the audience, and finding a hand model for Zhang Li and using Jin Lili's hand is also an attitude that Wang Fulin is responsible for the work and the audience.
In the process of filming "Dream of the Red Chamber", all the problems are purely for the sake of the work, for the sake of art, without any personal self-interest and purpose.
Look at the current film and television dramas, not to mention the use of stand-ins, cutouts are countless, many leading actors into the crew in just a few days, completely rely on cutouts and post-production, you can complete a TV series, get hundreds of millions of salaries.
There is no harm without comparison, so this 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" will become a classic and a mountain that future generations cannot reach.
Speaking of time alone, which crew can do it for three years and just shoot a 36-episode TV series? Not to mention that the director dedicated a year to studying the original work, not to mention holding two study classes before filming, not to mention that the actors stayed in the crew for three years.
Look at the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", up to the director Li Shaohong, down to the actor Yang Mi Yang Yang Jiang Mengjie, it is estimated that they have not even carefully studied the original work, they are born to shoot, this is not blasphemy against Cao Gong, self-humiliation?
The director said that "the dream of the Red Chamber is a series of ghost stories", the actor said that "the scene all depends on the director", Yang Mi, who plays Qingwen, does not even know what Qingwen's sentence is, read it, actually does not know the words, such an attitude, can it be filmed?
Therefore, even if the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is thirty years later, it is still a peak, and future generations can only look at the peak from a distance.
