The 87 version of "Lipstick Dream" can be called a classic in the history of film and television dramas.
The various performances of the actors in it are all impressive.
While people praised director Wang Fulin for his insight, there were also many discordant voices.
In fact, the 87 version of Dream of Red Mansions is not flawless.
There are 4 characters who not only did not restore the original work, but it was difficult to explain in all aspects, and people could only sigh: it was Wang Fulin who "looked away"!
Is this the case? and under the overall high level of production of "Dream of Red Mansions", why are they so controversial?
Let's take a closer look.
Xue Baoqin
Xue Baoqin is undoubtedly the most controversial character in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", when Xue Baoqin was played by actor Wang Yang.
Her appearance is not bad, her acting skills are passable, and she even starred in "Journey to the West".
Looking around, there are many actors in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" who are not from professional classes.
In comparison, Wang Yang's conditions are very good, but why are the audience and fans so harsh on her?
All this starts with the description of Xue Baoqin in the original "Dream of Red Mansions".
In the original book, Xue Baoqin is one of the best beauties, and her age is also the youngest among the sisters.
In the 49th episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", Xue Baoqin entered the Rongguo Mansion with Li Wen, Li Qi, Xing Xiuyan and others.
Tanchun commented:
"Sure enough. As far as I can see, even his sister and these people are not as good as him. ”
Jia Muyin also said:
"Baoqin's snow folding plum is better than the painting......"
It can be seen that Xue Baoqin's appearance is very outstanding, just like the characters in the painting.
and the stunning beauties Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
But Wang Yang was 34 years old when he played Xue Baoqin, which is inconsistent with the young Xue Baoqin character in the original book.
No matter how to maintain it, no matter how good the skin is, its temperament will still lack a sense of girlishness, giving people a feeling of aging.
Therefore, many of the complaints about Wang Yang are "Wang Yang is too old" or "Wang Yang is not the first beauty".
And Wang Yang's performance in the play is also slightly inferior.
Compared with the exquisite looks of the other actors in "Dream of Red Mansions", her style is as if she has offended the stylist.
The symmetrical pigtails on her head are incompatible with her temperament and image.
Wang Yang also had an illness before joining the group, so that she was not in a good state when she was filming this TV series.
This lowered the effect of her performance even more, and the final effect presented in front of the audience was naturally indescribable.
Many viewers who have read the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions" are full of expectations for the role of Xue Baoqin.
She was labeled as the "No. 1 Beauty" before she even appeared.
However, when people see the drama version of Xue Baoqin, which is a little older and inferior to the original in all aspects, they are naturally quite dissatisfied in their hearts.
So he thought that Xue Baoqin was the failure in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Of course, some viewers and fans think that Xue Baoqin played by Wang Yang is very good.
Everyone's aesthetics are different, their requirements are different, and the conclusions drawn will naturally be very different.
However, objectively, the role of Xue Baoqin is indeed not ranked in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", which is full of beautiful women.
There is some truth to the controversy.
Li Kun
Li Kun is also one of the more controversial characters in the 87 version of Dream of Red Mansions.
Li Kun in the play is played by actor Sun Mengquan, who was in his 30s when Sun Mengquan came to audition.
When people heard that Li Kun was young and widowed, dressed in gray clothes all day long, and did not apply powder, they took it for granted that she was a middle-aged woman.
In fact, Li Kun in the original book is also a big beauty, as described in the book:
Li Kunsheng is extremely beautiful, with a pair of watery eyes, two eyebrows that seem to be frowning, two clear tear stains on his cheeks, and a faint fragrance on his body. ”
It can be seen here that Li Kun's appearance and temperament are not bad, and his real age is only in his 20s, which is similar to Wang Xifeng's age.
The young widow was only because she married early.
From Li Kun's identity and background, we can also see that Li Kun's temperament is not bad.
She was born in a scholarly family, and her father was the son of the country who supervised the sacrificial wine, and usually recited poetry, had a gentle temperament, and was quite cultivated.
The reason why Li Kun's character itself is unlikable is not that he is not good-looking.
It's that she is deeply influenced by feudal etiquette, and she is too pure-hearted and has few desires, and it is not easy to get along with.
Once, Sister Feng handed over the housekeeper's work to Li Kun due to illness.
I never thought that Li Kun would shirk the work of the housekeeper to Tanchun and others, and he lived peacefully like a nobody.
Li Kun's dress, living environment, and style of doing things do not show that she is only in her 20s.
It can also be seen that Li Kun is a tragic figure.
Li Kun is pure in heart and has few desires on weekdays, because she identifies herself as a "widow".
Even if she is still very young, she still adheres to feudal etiquette and remains a widow.
Li Kun was isolated from everything in the outside world, and he was like a transparent person, looking out of place in the huge Jia Mansion.
At the same time, her heart is full of enthusiasm.
It can be seen from her opening a poetry club that she also has a lively side, but she doesn't dare to show herself easily on weekdays.
Li Kun in the original book is contradictory and tragic.
Although Sun Mengquan's acting skills are not bad, her role as Li Kun gives people a feeling of being like a middle-aged woman.
Just watching the drama version of "Dream of Red Mansions", few people will judge that she is one of the twelve hairpins in Jinling from the role of Li Kun.
On the whole, Sun Mengquan's portrayal of Li Kun is not close enough to the original work, and it is not a success.
After all, almost everyone in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a god, and some small details are easier to be excavated.
Jia Amnesty
I believe that many viewers who have watched the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" will find it difficult to like Jia Yu.
After all, he is one of the unlikable villains in the show.
For various reasons, the eldest lord Jia Yu has also become one of the failures of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
The role is played by actor Li Jie, who is one of the few actors in this drama who works in Changchun Film Studio.
What is it that makes Jia Yu so unpleasant?
In fact, the biggest problem is age.
Many viewers and fans reported that Jia Yu in the play looked older than Jia's mother, and did not look like a mother and son at all.
If Jia Yu is a likable character, maybe the audience can ignore his appearance and age.
However, Jia Yu is an indifferent and ruthless "old pervert", Jia Mu said:
"A lot of age, the official is not good at doing it, a little wife on the left and a little wife on the right are put in the house, and it doesn't delay people. ”
The most impressive thing is the clip of him forcing him to marry his mother-in-law, who is still in the twilight of his life when he is old, doing great unfilial things.
What he did corresponded to his age, and it was easy to be disgusting.
If Jia Yu's age in the play is a little younger, it may not be enough for the audience to spit out his "obscenity".
Putting aside the problem of Jia Yu's age in the play, in fact, actor Li Jie's acting skills are very outstanding.
The audience and fans are so disgusted with Jia Yu, not only because of Jia Yu's personality, but also because of Li Jie's good acting skills.
Li Jie, who is outside the play, is one of the casting teachers of "Dream of Red Mansions", and he is very kind and enthusiastic, which is far from his character in the play.
The 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was such a great success, and Li Jie's patience in guiding the actors was also credited.
After all, most of the actors who came to "Dream of Red Mansions" at that time were newcomers.
Many people have never been exposed to acting, so Li Jie had to put down his body and guide them one by one.
Under his guidance, we were able to see the second master Lian and Jia Rui, who had the appearance of a "playboy".
saw Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, who are classic with a smile and a smile......
On the other hand, Li Jie himself, he mostly plays the role of a villain, and he plays two roles in "Dream of Red Mansions".
When Shi Xiangyun fell into the flower boat, the old prostitute on the flower boat was impressive.
"Old Prostitute" is also one of Li Jie's works, and this role is just as disgusting as Jia Yu.
Nowadays, most people complain that Jia Yu's age does not conform to the original work, but they recognize Li Jie's acting skills.
It's a pity that this old actor died in 2016 at the age of 92.
Exploring Spring
Tanchun is played by actor Dongfang Wenying, and Dongfang Wenying's appearance cannot be said.
She was once considered the most suitable candidate to play Tanchun.
Dongfang Wenying looks quite distinctive, which fully satisfies Cao Xueqin's description of the appearance of Tanchun:
"Shaved shoulders and thin waist, long and tall figure, duck egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to Shenfei, and forgetting the vulgar. ”
In this case, why did Tanchun become one of the failures of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions"?
At present, people's complaints about Tanchun are mainly divided into two points.
The first is that Tanchun's appearance in the play is unstable, high and low, and the second is that Tanchun's behavior in the play is inconsistent with his person.
There is some basis for the ups and downs of Tanchun's appearance.
Dongfang Wenying's facial features are relatively three-dimensional, and when she wears light makeup, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and she is very beautiful.
The scene can refer to the poems and paintings in the Spring Grand View Garden, the Qingxu View and so on.
In the middle and late stages of the TV series, Tanchun obviously showed signs of gaining weight.
The baby fat on the face is more pronounced than in the early days, and it is slightly darker under some shots.
When the makeup on Tanchun's face is thicker, it seems like a layer of powder floating on the face.
Not only did it not add to the cake, but it also weakened its own aura, and it wasn't until the appearance of Tanchun in the later stage that it stabilized a little.
In the original book, Tanchun's personality is more boyish, different from the average daughter's family, which is described in the book:
“才自精明志自高，生于末世运偏消。 ”
Tanchun's appearance corresponds to his personality one-to-one.
But when Tanchun got married, the play showed too much of the love between Tanchun and his mother Aunt Zhao.
seems to be submissive and unclear, ignoring Tanchun's sense of responsibility and foresight.
With Tanchun's insight and sobriety, she knows the importance of long-distance marriage for the entire family.
On a secular level, it is undeniable that long-distance marriage is a tragedy.
But in Tanchun's eyes, marrying far away is also a responsibility on her shoulders, and she should show a broader mind.
Also contrary to the original work is the fragment of Aunt Zhao teaching Aunt Zhao a lesson to Aunt Zhao when she fought against Yihong Courtyard.
This clip gives the audience and fans the feeling that Tanchun is cold-blooded and ruthless, and does not save face for his mother.
Although Tanchun is spicy and well-known as a "rose", it is not so unreasonable.
In fact, the original book has a fuller description of this.
Tanchun did not directly scold Aunt Zhao, but patiently listened to Aunt Zhao's explanation and made plans after learning the truth of the matter.
Subsequently, Tanchun broke away Aunt Zhao with one sentence:
"What is this big deal, my aunt is too willing to be angry! I was about to ask my aunt to discuss, and the strange girl said that she didn't know where she was, so she was angry here, come with me." ”
The whole process makes people feel that Tanchun is sophisticated and organized, which is completely different from the Tanchun shown in the play.
Although the spring exploration in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has many fly in the ointment.
But it is undeniable that Dongfang Wenying is the best candidate for spring exploration.
If some details are taken care of, the show will reach new heights.
epilogue
Just as "no one is perfect, no gold is perfect".
Even a classic work like the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has many fly in the ointment.
However, these shortcomings did not affect the direction of this drama, but instead brought out many classic clips.
When it comes to the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", people will still think of the face of "Bao Dai Chai".
still thinks that "after Xiaoxu, there is no Daiyu", this is the value of the classics.
What are the different understandings of these characters?
