The "Jia Huan" of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", if you want to describe it in one paragraph, it is "bad and ugly, and at first glance he is an extremely obscene person"!
The actors of this version are very well chosen!
Decent and stunning, like "Jia Baoyu" is like a peach blossom, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a secret autumn wave, like "Lin Daiyu", sick and weak, looking back at Bai Meisheng, like a fairy.
And the villains "Xia Jingui, Jia Huan, Aunt Zhao, Ma Daopo" and others are all grinning, fierce, obscene and ugly......
Unexpectedly, 37 years later, Jia Huan, who was "a bad person with a bad heart and ugly", has become an elegant and handsome uncle, a few points more handsome than Jia Baoyu!
The real-life version of "Jia Huan"
Jia Huan is played by "Wang Wei", he is not a professional actor, but he is a "splashing monkey" in the compound! When filming "Dream of Red Mansions", he had just turned 13 years old and was the youngest son of his assistant director colleague in the crew.
The assistant director and his colleague live in the same compound, and the colleague's youngest son grew up in the sound of beating and scolding since he was a child, and he is usually naughty and mischievous, and he does a lot of bad things.
Everyone will put bicycles in the big yard, but this bad boy, while everyone is sleeping at night, secretly gets up and pulls the children in the same yard to release all the tires of the bicycle!
Waiting for the next morning, there was constant scolding in the compound, but they hid behind the window, snickering as they watched.
Wang Wei doesn't know how many times he has done such a thing, of course, he has also been taught many times by his parents, the bamboo strips that are messily tied together, hit him, and in an instant it was "thousands of purples and thousands of reds", jumping around in the yard, and being beaten by his parents and screaming.
not only has a bad boy personality, but even his appearance is the same as the "Jia Huan" described in the play, he is so thin that he has no flesh, his eyes are small and obscene, and he looks like he is a "born bad".
Although this kid is naughty and mischievous, it is quite difficult to find him with such a suitable appearance and a matching heart. Therefore, the assistant director took some "benefits", gave some food and pocket money, and coaxed this kid to the crew.
Wang Wei heard that he was selected and was going to film with the crew, and the interest came all of a sudden! He was already lively and active, but after arriving at the crew, he became a trick-or-treater king, spraying water on the camera for a while, and secretly hiding the director's stool for a while.
However, when it was time to film, Wang Wei was able to calm down and read the script, he usually didn't pay so much attention to reading, but he was able to sit for most of the day, studying his own scenes.
When Wang Fulin saw it, he immediately felt that the assistant director's words were not comprehensive, where is this monkey, it is clear that he didn't find what he likes to do, so he will be naughty all day long.
In this way, Wang Fulin used him and asked him to play the bad "Jia Huan".
Young but good acting skills! Become a "real Jia Huan"
Jia Huan is Aunt Zhao's child and Jia Baoyu's younger brother. Although they are brothers, the faces of the two are one in the sky and one on the ground, Aunt Zhao looks amazing, but her son has become a son and brother who is looked down upon by the maids in Jiafu because he has been a picky eater since he was a child and has a stubborn nature.
Mrs. Jia didn't like this concubine even more, which caused her uncles to be harsh and belittle him everywhere. This caused Jia Huan to target Jia Baoyu in the mansion and frame his brother.
Although Wang Wei doesn't like to read or delve into literature, when he reads the script, he can integrate his own ideas.
For example, in a scene of "Jia Huan stealing money", the director asked him to show Jia Huan's stubbornness.
But he felt that the reason why Jia Huan had this temper was definitely not simply unreasonable, but that he thought in his heart that he was inferior to Jia Baoyu, and he was also looked down upon by the maid.
So, just making a lot of noise will make the characters too flat and have no depth.
So, when he was acting, he first made a lot of noise, and then after seeing the maid not giving him money, he couldn't help crying, and his face showed a very aggrieved look.
This scene can be said to have been brought to life by him! Even Wang Fulin couldn't help but say that he had become a "real Jia Huan", and he shaped Jia Huan's inner world very well.
Jia Huan doesn't have many scenes, but before each scene, he will read it carefully, and he will simulate acting it several times before he walks in front of the camera.
The mother was curious for a while, can her son play well? also went to the crew to watch, who knew that his son was hiding in the corner and studying acting skills with Chen Xiaoxu!
Seeing her son so diligent and hardworking, the mother suddenly had the idea that it would be better to let her son act in the future. It's a pity that after acting in "Dream of Red Mansions", he did not insist on filming, but returned to blandness.
A behind-the-scenes worker, but in his later years, he grew into a handsome uncle
Wang Wei really likes filming, and after acting in "Dream of Red Mansions", he couldn't get out of this role for a long time. Later, the director introduced him to other directors, and if they encountered a bad role, he let him play it.
It's a pity that after reading the script, he felt that these roles were never as amazing as Jia Huan, so fortunately he stopped acting. Later, after returning to the school, he also grew a lot, changed his former stubbornness, and became a scholar who concentrated on reading.
After graduating from the college entrance examination, he went to university in Tianjin and graduated successfully. As far as looking for a job, Wang Wei also thought about whether he would work in a state-owned enterprise or enter the entertainment industry.
In the end, he still couldn't give up the showbiz, but he didn't film directly, but entered the crew as a foley engineer. When he grew up, Wang Wei, although he was very thin, he wore a pair of glasses, but he looked a little elegant.
The face is not as hideous as when I was a child, but it has become a little delicate, and the relationship between reading makes it a little more scholarly! His appearance, it is difficult for people to imagine that he is the gentleman who looked at the thief's eyebrows back then.
Although the crew members of "Dream of Red Mansions" have long developed separately, there are not many people who really stay in the entertainment industry. But in normal times, they also get together and talk about their lives.
When Jia Huan and Jia Baoyu stood together, everyone was surprised to find that Jia Baoyu, who was once handsome, had actually become a greasy and fat uncle, without a trace of fairy spirit.
On the contrary, it was Jia Huan on the side, looking thin and weak, with a pair of eyes that were very energetic, just like a handsome uncle with fairy wind bones.
I have to say that 37 years have passed since the work was auctioned, and the changes between him and Ouyang Fenqiang are really too great!
Epilogue:
If you want to choose a good role, you can't choose it according to whose traffic is high, but because the role is the main one, supplemented by the actors. The reason why the dramas of the 80s and 90s made classics is also this reason.
But now? The showbiz has long changed its taste, and there are several dramas a year with high traffic, and those who have no traffic can only work hard at the bottom.
With an identity like Wang Wei, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to participate in the work now.
