The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a wonderful chapter in the history of China's television, it is a classic masterpiece, and every character in the play is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is extremely in line with the original work and satisfies our imagination of all the characters in the original work.
Director Wang Fulin adopts the method of national audition, without using any popular stars, to select actors suitable for Jia Fu from all over the country. After these actors entered the crew, they were not assigned specific roles, but participated in two training courses.
Through the training of these two workshops, the actors have been transformed. In this process, the actors read the original book, understand the roles, choose the roles suitable for them in the book, make sketches, and perform them for the director to see.
If the director thinks you perform well, he will be a candidate for this role, and if not, he will have to choose again.
In this process, many actors play roles that are constantly changing.
For example, Yuan Mei, bent on playing Wang Xifeng, after entering the crew, she found that she could not play Wang Xifeng, so she wanted to play Baochao, tried Baochao's play, and was designated as a candidate for Baochao. When the angle was fixed, the candidates of the Baochao group, Cheng Mei, Guo Xiaozhen and Yuan Mei, did not conform to the image of Baochao in Wang Fulin's mind.
Yuan Mei became a "Mandarin Duck" again, and when it came time to really fix the role, she became the actor of "Attacking People".
For example, Zhou Yue, who competed with Le Yun and Deng Jie for Wang Xifeng, because Deng Jie was too dazzling, took the initiative to withdraw from the competition, and the director let her play Li Feng, she had no objection. Le Yun wanted to leave because she wanted to go to Hong Kong, and the director repeatedly retained her, letting her play You Sanjie, who had less drama. However, before waiting for the boot, Le Yun still left.
After Le Yun left, You Sanjie's position was vacant, so Zhou Yue found the director and said that he wanted to play You Sanjie, and the director agreed.
……
It can be said that except for a very small number of actors, such as Chen Xiaoxu, who want to play Lin Daiyu, most actors have to go through several rounds of selection and experience many roles before they can be determined.
She, one of them, was originally a candidate for the "first beauty of the Red Chamber", but when she set the corner, she became the "First Woman of the Red Chamber", and this gap made her unable to accept it.
She angrily went to director Wang Fulin, walked to the door, found the door of the director's room open, she could not be polite, kicked open the door, crossed her waist and shouted, "Wang Fulin, your words do not count." ”
She is Yang Xiaoling, the actor of Xia Jingui in the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Yang Xiaoling was originally an actor at the Harbin Opera House, with white skin and exquisite facial features. Li Jie of the crew went to the northeast to cast, looked at Yang Xiaoling, and selected her into the crew.
After entering the crew, Yang Xiaoling was uneasy, seeing that the sisters around her were very classically beautiful, only herself, often said to be "mixed-race", and some people asked whether she had Russian blood.
She was afraid that one day she would be informed and let herself go home. Just when Yang Xiaoling was uneasy, Wang Fulin told her to let her see Xue Baoqin's plays more.
Wang Fulin's words made Yang Xiaoling ecstatic. Wang Dao is a he Xu person, not smiling, serious and serious, what he said, must be thoughtful, which means that he will be Xue Baoqin's candidate, Xue Baoqin is the "first beauty of the Red Chamber".
Yang Xiaoling put her mind at ease and went back to carefully study the original work and analyze the personality, psychology and behavior of Xue Baoqin' character.
However, when it came time to really fix the role, Yang Xiaoling became the actor of Xia Jingui, which made her unacceptable. From Xue Baoqin to Xia Jingui, what a big gap this is.
It turned out that Gu Tong, a good sister of Yang Xiaoling before, was once a candidate for Xiangling, because there was no one to play, so she asked Yang Xiaoling to help her build a play. Yang Xiaoling agreed with a full mouth.
When doing the sketch performance, Yang Xiaoling thought to herself, anyway, just a camera, shoot Gu Tong, you can't shoot yourself. In order to help her good friend enter the play, she spread out her performance and played Xia Jingui's brutality and viciousness to the fullest.
Wang Fulin's eyes were attracted to Yang Xiaoling, and he asked the cameraman Li Yaozong to secretly turn the camera to Yang Xiaoling and record her performance.
After going back, director Wang Fulin looked at the video and found that Yang Xiaoling played Xia Jingui too vividly, so he set her as the actor of Xia Jingui.
On the contrary, Gu Tong failed to act as Xiangling and became Si Qi. It is really "heart to plant flowers and flowers, unintentionally planting willows into the shade", Yang Xiaoling failed to help Gu Tong win Xiangling, but became Xia Jingui.
Hearing that she was the actor of Xia Jingui, Yang Xiaoling was very unhappy, angrily rushed to find Wang Fulin, kicked open the director's door, crossed his waist and shouted, "Wang Fulin, your words don't count, you said let me play Xue Baoqin, how did I become Xia Jingui again?" ”
Wang Fulin looked at the angry Yang Xiaoling in front of him, smiled instead of anger, and said, "When you look at the way you look now, isn't it Xia Jingui?"
Wang Fulin asked Yang Xiaoling to enter the room, calm down, and have a good talk. Wang Fulin asked her, do you want to be a good actor? Yang Xiaoling replied, of course, yes.
Wang Fulin said: "A good actor is not playing a role of warm boiling water, a good actor sister plays a cup of boiling water, burns the person who drinks the water, let him remember you, or plays a cup of ice water, cold to the bone." You see, xia jingui's role, how distinct the character is, since you want to be an actor, you should accept this brutal role. ”
The truth, Yang Xiaoling understands, but she is just unwilling to play Xia Jingui.
After the end of the training, near the Spring Festival, everyone went home and waited for the shooting to start after the Spring Festival. After Yang Xiaoling returned home, she decided not to play this role. However, after thinking about it, I was reluctant to do so, after all, this is a costume drama filmed by CCTV, and it is a very fortunate thing to be selected.
Don't act, and don't be willing, act, right? I really don't like Xia Jingui.
In the end, Yang Xiaoling still could not resist the temptation and returned to the Red Chamber crew, but she always looked depressed and reluctant.
Yang Xiaoling's heart was still very resistant to Xia Jingui.
Costumer Shi Yanqin looked in the eyes, when Yang Xiaoling tried the play, pointed to the apricot yellow skirt on her body and said, you see, there are so many characters in the play, such a bright yellow, only Xia Jingui dares to wear, only Xia Jingui can wear, you say, Xia Jingui is not important?
Shi Yanqin's words were an affirmation of Xia Jingui, which made Yang Xiaoling feel empowered and relieved. Indeed, such bright clothes in color, only Xia Jingui can wear them in the play, what dissatisfaction do you have?
Accepted in the heart, acting out, Yang Xiaoling is like a fish in the water, playing Xia Jingui vividly and vividly, creating a classic artistic image for us.
I have to admire the casting vision of director Wang Fulin, but Xue Baoqin, played by Wang Yang, is not satisfactory, and many viewers questioned, saying that the biggest failure of the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is Xue Baoqin, played by Wang Yang.
Suppose, if Yang Xiaoling did not help Gu Tong to play, did not play Xia Jingui, but played Xue Baoqin, Yang Xiaoling's image of Xue Baoqin, would not be recognized and affirmed by everyone?
