The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a wonderful chapter in the history of Chinese television and an insurmountable classic for posterity, when director Wang Fulin adopted the way of national audition, selected the most suitable actors from all over the country to jia fu, after two sessions of training classes, the actors in the play, to the greatest extent, restored the original work, just like coming out of the book.
Once the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was broadcast, the whole country boiled over, and overnight, these actors were popular all over the country.
Although many actors went out to walk the cave and participate in various activities at that time, the show business circle of that year was not similar to the current entertainment circle. The actors are all alone, there is no agency, no agent, and no unit is willing to accept them.
Therefore, after filming "Dream of the Red Chamber", the actors went their separate ways, and some returned to the original unit, such as Ouyang Fenqiang, the actor of Baoyu, Hou Changrong, the actor of Liu Xianglian, and Hu Zehong, the actor of Xichun.
Some re-chose the unit, such as Yuan Mei, the actor who attacked the attacker, went to Guangdong Television, and some stayed in CCTV, such as Zhang Li, the actor of Baochao, Dongfang Wenying, and Chen Xiaoxu, Deng Jie, Mu Yi and others, who chose to stay in Beijing and became "North Drift".
And she, with a still, was selected by director Wang Fulin, played a delicate and lovely role in the play, after filming "Dream of the Red Chamber", she was very painful, and a fire burned the notes in the crew for three years.
She is Guo Xiaozhen, the actor of Shi Xiangyun in the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Shi Xiangyun, played by Guo Xiaozhen, portrays Shi Xiangyun's delicate and cute, straight-talking, and bold and lively portrayal of three points.
Although there is no specific description of Shi Xiangyun in the book, Shi Xiangyun, played by Guo Xiaozhen, is the image of Shi Xiangyun in our minds.
Guo Xiaozhen graduated from Anhui Huangmei Opera School and was later assigned to work in the huangmei opera troupe. Guo Xiaozhen dressed sweetly and sang deeply, and soon made a name for herself in the troupe.
In 1983, Guo Xiaozhen starred in the Huangmei opera film "Cuckoo Girl", which won the recognition of the public with the sweet and innocent artistic image of the heroine Cuckoo in the film.
The 87 version of the Red Mansion crew went to Anqing Huangmei Theater to select actors, and after the casting director saw Guo Xiaozhen, he felt that she was very suitable for the characters of Jia Fu, so he wanted to record a portrait of her and send her back to Beijing.
However, at that time, the conditions in Anqing were very poor, there was no video tool, and he could only go to Hefei to record, but Guo Xiaozhen wanted to perform, and there was no time. The crowd is at a loss, is it just missed?
At this time, Wang Gui'e remembered the movie "Cuckoo Girl" that Guo Xiaozhen had just made, and proposed that Guo Xiaozhen pick up a few stills and take them back to director Wang Fulin. If the director thinks the image is good and wants to see her perform, he can take the director to see "Cuckoo Girl".
Therefore, Guo Xiaozhen carefully selected several stills and brought them back by the casting director.
When Wang Fulin saw Guo Xiaozhen's stills, the woman in the photo was handsome and cute, classical and elegant, too in line with the women in Jia Fuzhong, so he shot a big hand, and I wanted this actor.
In this way, Guo Xiaozhen was selected to join the Red Chamber crew. When Guo Xiaozhen received the notice from the Red Chamber crew, she had entanglement and hesitation.
After all, at that time, on the stage of Huangmei Opera, she had already achieved a small success, and once she left, she might no longer have her own place. But "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a big drama produced by CCTV, miss this opportunity, maybe in this life, you will never meet again.
In the end, Guo Xiaozhen still chose to leave the Huangmei Opera stage and enter the Red Chamber to join the group.
Guo Xiaozhen and Cheng Mei, who just entered the group, yuan mei were xue baochao candidates together, when the role was fixed, Wang Fulin was not very satisfied with all three of them, and felt that all three of them did not meet the image of Baochao in his mind, and then Zhang Li played Xue Baochao, and Guo Xiaozhen played Shi Xiangyun.
As long as you can play a role in the play, it is the greatest satisfaction. Knowing that she played Shi Xiangyun, Guo Xiaozhen did not have any dissatisfaction, she analyzed Shi Xiangyun's personality characteristics, felt Shi Xiangyun's inner world, and made herself and Shi Xiangyun one.
The role of Shi Xiangyun is difficult to grasp, not only to make the character full of three-dimensional personality, but also can not grab the protagonist's play, both an elegant lady, but also the cheerfulness of a tomboy. Guo Xiaozhen plays a very good role, with a degree of control.
After filming "Dream of the Red Chamber", Shi Xiangyun has a new understanding of Beijing, and she wants to stay, but she does not want to do "North Drift". Therefore, she prepared to pass the examination and stay in Beijing.
After that, she successively filmed TV series such as "Bell and Drum Tower" and "The Last Emperor", in this process, she took the Chinese opera and the Beijing Film Academy, all because of the difference in culture class by more than ten points, and the name fell to Sun Shan, which made her very lost and painful.
Guo Xiaozhen, who was unwilling to do "North Drift", chose to return to his hometown of Anqing and pick up the "old line" Huangmei opera.
At this time, Guo Xiaozhen's worries at that time became a cruel reality.
The Red Chamber crew disbanded, the Chinese opera was not admitted, Beijing did not accept itself, and left the Huangmei opera stage for many years, has no place of its own, just returned to Anqing Guo Xiaozhen, depressed, inner pain, do not know where to go.
At this crossroads, she was on the verge of collapse, setting to the ground the notes of three years in the Red Chamber crew.
Indeed, for us, the most painful thing is not not not to have it, but to have it and then lose it. When she saw a bigger stage, a better city, and a brighter future, Guo Xiaozhen was so eager to stay in Beijing and embark on the road of acting.
However, after entering the Huangmei Opera Troupe since she was a child, there were too many missing cultural classes, and after the college entrance examination failed, this road did not work, and she had to leave Beijing, which she was deeply attached to.
Guo Xiaozhen, who returned to Anqing, has always had a special feeling for Beijing and hopes to have another chance to return to Beijing.
In 1995, her husband went to Beijing for further study, and Guo Xiaozhen took the opportunity to come to Beijing. At that time, the child was still young, just one year old. Guo Xiaozhen is still very entangled, should she go out to shoot a scene, or stay at home? In the end, Guo Xiaozhen still chose the family and returned to her hometown with her husband.
Beijing, staying in Beijing, has become Guo Xiaozhen's eternal attachment and regret for a lifetime.
In the years that followed, every time Guo Xiaozhen came to Beijing to perform, after the performance, she would walk on the streets of Beijing, deeply feel the breath of the city, back around Tiananmen Square, walked in a circle, from morning to afternoon, feeling the beauty that the city brought to herself.
Guo Xiaozhen, who returned to Anqing, as she grew older, her mentality was much calmer, and she was no longer difficult for herself, accepting reality, and focusing on Huangmei drama.
In 2007, Guo Xiaozhen was transferred to the Huangmei Opera School in Anhui Province to teach and became an excellent Huangmei Opera teacher. Under her teaching, many children began to understand Huangmei opera and became interested in Huangmei opera, so that this art could be passed on.
Once in the Red Chamber, I will not wake up for the rest of my life. Guo Xiaozhen, as the actor of Shi Xiangyun, has an unforgettable nostalgia for that period of time. For her, that "Dream of the Red Chamber" made her life have joy, beauty, regret and pain.
