The scale of the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was questioned, and netizens angrily denounced "too foxy" as a green building Eight o'clock in the evening
After a long time, the trailer of Hu Mei's new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has finally come out.
originally thought it was a huge classic film, but as a result, Qin Keqing's appearance in the play was on the hot search because of the suspicion.
In the shot, Qin Keqing's jade body is horizontal, her eyes are like silk, and the clothes on her body can cover the key parts, which is quite a bit of a restricted work.
The filmmaker replied that this was not Qin Keqing, but Jia Baoyu who met "Keqing Fairy" in the too illusory realm.
But the problem is not who she is, but that this role, scene, dress and demeanor are too ambiguous, it is difficult for people not to associate with them, and it doesn't matter if it's Qin Keqing or "Fairy Keqing".
In addition, even if Qin Keqing is described as charming and charming, the expression should at least be in line with Chinese aesthetics, rather than this kind of pure breasts and half-leakage.
Because the shape is too cool, netizens angrily denounced "Dream of Red Mansions" as a green building.
Qin Keqing is naturally sexy and has a story, and the treatment of her in the 83 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is also bold.
The red bandeau is not small in terms of exposure, and the interaction with the actor is also there.
But Qin Keqing is reserved and full of temptation, whether it is in Jia Baoyu's dream, or in the actual desire to refuse and welcome, her demeanor always has a kind of shyness.
Instead of in the trailer, there is a kind of seduction like opening the door to welcome customers.
The shot was also accused of parodying "American Beauty".
From creativity to performance effects, Qin Keqing's expression is too frivolous and superficial.
But rubbing the edges is not the biggest problem in this version of "Dream of Red Mansions", the suppression of the overall color tonality, the weirdness of the camera movement, and the casting that does not stick to the face are the most deadly.
Depressed tonality
The director positioned the revised version of Dream of Red Mansions as "Conspiracy and Love", and the whole film is full of a tone of intrigue and revenge that is customary in Western-style dramas.
In order to match such a tone, the color of the film is also oppressive and heavy.
Although the set uses a lot of Chinese-style red, the overall atmosphere and lighting are not bright, and the scene of Baoyu's marriage looks like a ghost bride, as if Sister Bao will transform into a bloodsucker in the next second.
Sitting together to eat at the reunion, the black background is not like a rich and compelling Grand View Garden, but like a thousand-year-old demon holding a meeting in a deep cave, revealing a weirdness from beginning to end.
The use of a large black background directly renders "Dream of Red Mansions" into a horror film.
It is obviously the splendid Rongguo Mansion, but there is a sense of old-fashioned cheapness everywhere, the color saturation is outrageously low, and all the colors have a layer of miserable white.
Compare the 83 version, you can see how dark the color of this version of the costume is.
Inexplicable shots
The use of camera in the play is also very confusing.
Wang Xifeng is a cool and shrewd character, vicious but never obscene and dark.
She is flamboyant and bright, there is a gust of wind everywhere she goes, her voice can penetrate several rooms, and her calculations are arrogant and blatant.
But in the camera, Wang Xifeng is filmed like a disgruntled conspirator hiding in the shadows, and it is hard to imagine that such a scene appeared in a work like "Dream of Red Mansions".
This is the blackened revenge heroine Shuangwen who wants to reproduce "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?
What's even more excessive is that I don't know if it is influenced by Xianxia films, and the camera movement is performing in circles all the time.
For no reason, it's "spinning, jumping, I close my eyes." "Don't know what to say at all?
The random and disorganized scheduling of the shots is surprising.
Casting is not close to the face
There are many close-ups of actors in the play from the bottom up, and the actors' appearance and temperament are already unsatisfactory, so it is even more impossible to watch.
Baoyu is like a little guy, with a pointed face and small chin and eyes, and he has no temperament like a rich son.
Daiyu's facial features are concentrated in the center of her face, which has nothing to do with beauty, and she is stingy and restrained.
Baochai is young next year, but it feels old and young.
The new version of Baoyu and Daiyu are the targets of dimensionality reduction no matter which version they are compared to.
The 83 version of Ouyang Fenqiang and Chen Xiaoxu are recognized classics, Baoyu has red lips and white teeth, is handsome and abnormal, and is full of wealth and nobility.
Daiyu is weak and willowy, her appearance is beautiful and delicate, and her temperament is cold and strong.
Tao Huimin and Xia Jing's version of Dream of Red Mansions, although they look old-fashioned and a little less delicate because of their obedience, Tao Huimin's eyes are bright, a little more gentle and moving.
Jia Baoyu, who is reversed by Xia Jing, is full of heroism and youthfulness.
Even if it is 77 years, Lin Daiyu played by Zhang Aijia, who is average-looking, can also be called a beautiful eyebrow, and Lin Qingxia's Baoyu is a standard handsome boy.
As for Xue Baochai, no matter which version it is, she is a mellow beauty, and standing there is as dazzling as a peony blossom.
The actor's temperament is too stingy, so that Bao Dai is in the same frame like a child wearing adult clothes, and the temperament of the two is not even as atmospheric as the maid standing next to him in the play.
Yang Tongshu's Mrs. Wang, Guan Xiaotong's Yuanchun temperament is not harmonious, but it is also acceptable on the premise that the film is already so, and the two of them still have some classical atmosphere.
But Lu Yan, who plays Jia's mother, plays at a glance.
Lu Yan has been filming in Hollywood all the year round, with superb acting skills and outstanding temperament, but she does lack some classical temperament.
Her muscle control, micro-expressions, facial movements, acting style, and especially her smile all have traces of a Western-style theatrical performance.
Even if you are wearing Chinese clothes, you always feel like you are in a cos.
The protagonist is already like this, so the portrait of Grandma Liu played by Ding Jiali is no longer important.
Hu Mei is one of the best female directors in the mainland, and her works such as "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", "Qiao's Courtyard" and "Yongzheng Dynasty" are all classics.
At the beginning of the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", Hu Mei said that she wanted to create the best Oriental Red Mansion culture.
She interviewed more than 20,000 actors, took 10 months, and spent a lot of money to restore the Grand View Garden completely according to the description in the book.
In good faith, enough.
But so far, the show doesn't seem to be showing a quality that makes people shine.
The edge-rubbing shots, the abrupt camera movement like an idol drama, the imitation that seems to be nothing, and the alienation of "Dream of Red Mansions" into the dramatic style of "The Prince's Revenge" and "Macbeth" all seem to be extremely chaotic in the play.
Although it is the norm for a remake to be inferior to the first version, this time it is not just a matter of remakes, but more like adjustments and attempts made by the producer in order to cater to the market.
But I have to say that the clips that have been revealed so far show that this attempt has not been successful, and all the gimmicks put together can only be stewed.
Taking a step back, it would be even more sad if the edge rubbing was a deliberate move to attract the audience, which means that the producers simply don't know what the real attraction of "Dream of Red Mansions" is?
However, the current evaluation is a peep in the tube after all, and everything will be known after the release.
