The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has now become a classic, an insurmountable chapter in the history of Chinese television, and a peak that future generations cannot reach.
Whether it is from the script, actors, costumes, props, makeup, details, this TV series has achieved the ultimate.
When filming "Dream of the Red Chamber", director Wang Fulin was under great pressure, not only because the TV drama market was immature, most of the TV series at that time were just up and down episodes, there was no serial at all, and he had only filmed one "Eighteen Years of Enemy Camp" before, without much experience, and without the guidance of the big director, purely feeling the stones to cross the river.
Most importantly, shortly after filming began, it was reported that the North Film Studio wanted to shoot a film version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", which made Wang Fulin sleep and eat. After all, the development of the film at that time was not comparable to the TV series, and Xie Tieli was the leader in the directorial industry, with a film investment of 22 million yuan, which far exceeded the TV series version, Liu Xiaoqing, Zhao Lirong, He Saifei and other actors, all dazzling.
Director Wang Fulin doubled the pressure, but he also had to comfort the cast and crew, saying, don't worry, they shoot an improved version, we shoot a popular version.
In this way, for three years, the crew and actors ate and lived together, day and night, everyone talked about the Red Chamber together, immersed in the atmosphere of the Red Chamber, one shot at a time, filmed this classic.
However, when the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was first broadcast, the reputation was mixed. Whether it is a red science expert or an audience, they are not very satisfied.
Some people say that the character score is improperly arranged, and Bao Daichao should not be inferior to FengJie, some people think that "Baoyu" is more than enough, lack of talent, think that "Daiyu" is too harsh and mean, and some people say that the last few episodes are not in line with the spirit of the original work, and so on.
However, with the passage of time, the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has more and more praise, less and less denigration, and the emergence of the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" in 2010 has pushed the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" to a higher position.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast. Perhaps before, the audience did not think that the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is so good-looking, but after the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" came out, everyone found that the original 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a treasure, every picture in the play is so beautiful, every character is so classic, and everything in the play is pleasing to the eye.
At this time, everyone knew that "a thousand people can really have a thousand Lin Daiyu in their hearts", and it turned out that in the heart of director Li Shaohua, they could be fat and thin.
Everyone knows that the makeup and costumes of Yang Shuyun and Shi Yanqin are so amazing, as long as the actors stop there, they can tell who it is, and in the new version, these actors are almost the same, and they can't tell who is who after watching for a long time.
Everyone also knows that "Frowning" is actually so classic, every song in the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is precious, can not be thrilled, not crying wolf, not making people feel like watching "Liaozhai"...
The emergence of the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" also has a great impact on the actors of the 87 version of the Red Chamber. After all, comparison is inevitable. I believe that the actors of the 87 version are also looking forward to the broadcast of the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", looking forward to seeing what the actors in the play look like, and looking forward to watching their performances.
The result? Naturally, you know.
Just by virtue of director Li Shaohong, he has not read the complete "Dream of the Red Chamber" at all, which can be seen. The director has not read the original work, the actor does not need to mention, Yang Mi, who plays Qingwen, does not even know the "Qingwen Judgment", and he does not know the words according to reading, which is ridiculous to the extreme.
Yuan Mei, the actor of the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber", once said such a thing, after the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" came out, Deng Jie's attitude towards her immediately changed and became particularly good, she was very surprised, what is wrong? Deng Jie said, Yuan Mei, I was at home yesterday, I accidentally watched your play, I used to think that your play was not good, now when I look at it, it is simply too good.
After Yuan Mei listened, she smiled and said, "What else?" It's been more than twenty years, almost thirty years.
Deng Jie said this, Yuan Mei was very pleased, this is a recognition of her acting skills, after all, Deng Jie rarely praises people like this.
Perhaps before Deng Jie did not think that Yuan Mei's "attacking people" was very good, attacking people was not the protagonist, there were not many scenes, and most of the time it was just a foil around "Baoyu". However, when watching the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and then looking back at the old version and watching "Attacking People", Deng Jie found that yuan Mei had acted so well.
In fact, the "attacker" played by Yuan Mei has already received everyone's praise when the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was just broadcast.
In that year, after the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was broadcast, Yangzhou specially had red scholars, who evaluated the characters of the TV series, made a specific interpretation of the images of the five characters in the play, and also appeared on the "People's Daily", as an official report, which can be described as a high gold content.
The first, the brilliant Wang Xifeng, the second, is the real male Jia Baoyu of all time, the third is the virtuous and dignified Xue Baochao, the fourth, who does not know specifically, the fifth is the flower attack, the evaluation given is "appropriate", the appropriate flower attack.
Yuan Mei's summary of herself is "accurate positioning", she plays flowers and attacks people, and the most important thing is to grasp the measure. The attacker is Baoyu's roommate, with a special identity, she has always followed Baoyu's side, sometimes, the drama is not on her, but she also has to follow, although it is the background, but also to make a good expression.
Attacking people is not easy to act, her main play is not much, but there are not many scenes. There are more dramas that attack people, even Bi Baochao, so how to grasp the scale well is the problem that Yuan Mei should pay the most attention to, she must maintain a clear positioning, can not be absent, must always appear, but can not steal the drama, can not rob the master's play.
Yuan Mei looked back at her performance at that time, was very satisfied with herself, and said with deep emotion, "Those eyes, can never go back." That pure sincerity and emotional measure that is expressed can never go back. ”
During the period of time in the crew of "Dream of the Red Chamber", it affected Yuan Mei's life. For Yuan Mei, "Dream of the Red Chamber" made her understand life, made her life interesting and meaningful, and during that time, she also laid a deep literary foundation.
In the days that followed, Yuan Mei was deeply influenced by "Dream of the Red Chamber", not only the exquisite food of the utensils, from acting, to life, to aesthetics, it was "Dream of the Red Chamber" that subtly influenced her.
Yuan Mei said: "Dream of the Red Chamber" is broad and profound, and the reason why it is popular is to win in nature and sincerity. "Dream of the Red Chamber" opened a window for me to film and television, opened another door to life, and made me walk from an artistic worker of regional culture to a larger film and television cultural circle, and my life became quality and richer.
