Back then, Director Wang Fulin gave an order, and the whole country was called lively! The casting of "Dream of Red Mansions" is not a joke, it is to pick out the living "Bao Dai Chai"! Director Wang had a scale in his heart, and he knew that this matter had to be made of great fanfare, so a vigorous national audition kicked off.
Imagine that there was no Douyin Kuaishou at that time, and it all relied on newspapers and television to spread the news, but the enthusiasm was not less at all. The little girls and boys, dressed in ancient costumes and makeup, followed the painting one by one, competing to be the protagonists in the Grand View Garden. It is said that the number of applicants is too large to count, Director Wang and the team just watched and watched, selected and selected, and their eyes were about to pick flowers.
The selected seedlings, don't think that you can start filming directly, Director Wang is a particular person. He knows that "Dream of Red Mansions" is not only a novel, but also a treasure of Chinese culture. So, with a wave of his hand, he set up a "Red Studies Training Class" and invited experts from all walks of life to teach these future "Red Mansion People".
This training class is not a joke, every day from morning to night, learn the original work, learn history, learn etiquette, and have to rehearse sketches and simulate roles. The students are called serious, and they are simply possessed by scholars. Especially Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Jinglin (An Wen), the two of them were out of the limelight in the training class, one was gentle as water, the other was smart as the wind, they were simply born "Sister Lin" and "Qingwen".
Speaking of Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Jinglin, we have to mention the "Lin Daiyu dispute". Zhang Jinglin, who is beautiful and has good dramas, was originally a popular candidate for Daiyu, and even she herself was full of confidence. But Director Wang fell in love with Chen Xiaoxu's weak willow temperament, and thought that she was the best choice for Lin Daiyu.
As soon as this incident came out, Zhang Jinglin was disappointed in his heart, but he was also a general knowledge, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and gladly accepted the role of Qingwen. This turn not only made himself, but also made the role of Qingwen shine on the screen.
Speaking of interesting things during the filming process, I have to mention the scene of "Qingwen tearing the fan". This scene is so wonderful in the original book, and Director Wang naturally put a lot of effort into it. As soon as Zhang Jinglin got started, it was simply Qingwen's own possession, and her eyes, movements, and every detail were mastered to death.
Especially the scene of tearing the fan, Zhang Jinglin really tore it, a delicate fan in her hand was like a piece of paper, and it was so painful to tear it. Director Wang took a look, hey, isn't this the Qingwen I want! As soon as this scene was filmed, it became a classic among the classics, and it is still talked about.
The reason why the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" can become a classic is, in the final analysis, the respect for the original work and the pursuit of art. Director Wang Fulin and the entire team, from casting to shooting, strive for perfection in every link, and strive to restore the essence of the original work.
They know that "Dream of Red Mansions" is not only a novel, but also a culture and a spirit. Therefore, during the filming process, they not only pay attention to the presentation of the storyline, but also pay more attention to the expression of the characters' emotions and the excavation of cultural connotations. This dedication and pursuit of art has made this immortal classic.
When it comes to the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions", it is also a constant topic. The new version does have a big improvement in terms of visual effects, the graphics are beautiful, and the costumes are gorgeous, but I always feel that something is missing. What's missing? Missing the awe of the original work and the persistent pursuit of art.
Especially the role of Qingwen, although Yang Mi played it well, she always felt that Qingwen's aura and arrogance were missing. In contrast, Zhang Jinglin's Qingwen, that is the real "Tearing Fan Beauty", which is unforgettable.
The success of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is not only the success of a TV series, but also the inheritance and development of Chinese culture. It allows us to see the power of classics, and it also makes us feel the charm of art.
In this fast-paced era, we may need to slow down once in a while to savor the classics. Because only those works that can truly touch our hearts can become timeless classics. And the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is undoubtedly such a work. It allows us to taste the classics at the same time, but also feel the infinite possibilities of art.
