The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" can be described as a divine drama, a classic, so far, more than thirty years have passed, and it is still remembered and enjoyed by the public.
After more than 30 years of baptism, the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has become more than just a TV series, it has become a cultural symbol, a cultural spirit, representing the years that the public can remember infinitely but cannot be copied.
The director of the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is Wang Fulin, who proposed to shoot four famous works, and it was he who took a year to study "Dream of the Red Chamber" before shooting.
The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has a huge advisory group, and Many red scholars such as Zhou Ruchang, Wang Meng, Zhou Ling, Cao Yu, Yang Naiji, Jiang Hesen, Shen Congwen, Wu Zuguang and many other red scholars participate in the production.
The composer of the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is Wang Liping, the cameraman Li Yaozong, the makeup artist Yang Shuyun, and the costumer Shi Yanqin, perhaps their reputation at that time was not prominent. But after three years, in the industry, they are already one of the best and rare talents.
The actor of the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is director Wang Fulin who adopted the method of national casting and poured all his strength into the whole country to select more than 150 actors in the play.
These actors, after two training courses, listened to the lectures of red science experts, analyzed the personality of the characters in the play, learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, selected character performance sketches, and half a year, they have been reborn.
When I first chose these actors, it was quite difficult.
Director Wang Fulin did not use any popular stars, and the news that he wanted to choose young actors nationwide was boiling over the country.
Many people questioned, after all, at that time, the TV series had just started, it was not mature, compared to movies and dramas, and there was no popular star to join, how to ensure the ratings?
Wang Fulin vigorously defied the public opinion, insisted on using new talents, and published the news of the casting of the Red Chamber crew in major newspapers and magazines. For a moment, letters flew in like snowflakes, and visitors broke through the door of the crew.
However, among them, only Chen Xiaoxu was reliable. With so many letters and visitors, Chen Xiaoxu was elected alone.
Since you can't wait for the rabbit, you have to go out and look for actors. Therefore, Wang Fulin sent casting directors to go to all parts of the country to select actors in three ways.
For the requirements for the selection of actors, in addition to some simple height and age characteristics, Wang Fulin pays the most attention to "like", and the appearance and temperament should be like the people of Jia Fu.
In the process of casting directors to select actors, there was a person who was disliked by the casting director and felt that she was not suitable for Jia Fu at all, and even because of her, she made a lot of trouble, and finally barely passed the pass and recorded a portrait of her.
The video was sent to Beijing, and as soon as she came out, she was caught by Wang Fulin, saying that this person did not have to perform, and stayed.
She is Deng Jie, the actor of Wang Xifeng in the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
At that time, Li Zhixin, Wang Gui'e and Xia Minghui went to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan to cast. After they came to Chengdu, each troupe recommended some suitable actors for the interview.
The girls chattered, and when everyone finished performing, the recording seemed to be, leaving only Deng Jie silently on the side.
Wang Gui'e felt that Deng Jie was old, short, dark skin, and a scar on her eyes, and she didn't know which role to let her try, play the girl, the temperament was a little bigger, play the lady lady, the height was short again.
She's already put on makeup, so let's pick a role. Therefore, Deng Jie chose a role that was neither Yahuan nor Miss, You Sanjie.
Deng Jie acted in a play of You Sanjie, Xia Minghui felt very satisfied, Li Zhixin thought that Deng Jie's appearance was too ordinary, there was no suitable role at all, simply not, Wang Gui'e felt that Li Zhixin was right, but Deng Jie was indeed very photogenic.
The three of them held their own opinions, and they could not agree on their opinions, and no one could convince anyone. In the end, the three decided to send Deng Jie's video back to Beijing, which was decided by the director team.
Wang Fulin, Zhou Ling and others in Beijing will watch the casting director's video of the actors sent back from Tiannanhaibei every day.
On this day, it was the turn of this batch of Sichuan actors, watching and watching, Deng Jie came out. As soon as Deng Jie's face was revealed, "snapped", and the whole crew boiled over.
Deng Jie in the shot, the eyes are flowing, the brilliance is shining, and everyone in the crew is shocked. Director Wang Fulin said on the spot that this face is so amazing, this person does not have to perform, does not have to make me a sketch, and stays.
Because Deng Jie in the video has a photogenic face, shining, everyone is impressed by her and believes that she is also a particularly tall and beautiful woman in reality.
When the crew summoned the actors to Beijing for collective training, Deng Jie and Zhang Li were also selected. The two took a train, the dust servants came to Beijing, and the production director Ren Dahui went to the pick-up station.
Ren Dahui is very tall, more than one meter and eight meters, as far as his eyesight can see, looking around, what about Deng Jie? What about Deng Jie? However, he never saw Deng Jie's figure.
At this time, a small girl came over and said, "Hello, I am Deng Jie." ”
Ren Dahui looked down, dumbfounded, the girl in front of him was not only short, but also had dark skin and a flat appearance, where was the Deng Jie in the lens who was looking forward to God flying?
However, the girl in front of her was obviously Deng Jie. Ren Dahui hid his inner surprise and loss, and brought Deng Jie and Zhang Li back to the crew.
Everyone was waiting in the crew to see Deng Jie's style, and when ren Dahui said that this dark-skinned little girl was Deng Jie. Everyone was disappointed, and the difference was too great, the person in front of him and Deng Jie in the camera were almost like two people.
After that, Deng Jie and Le Yun, Zhou Yue became Wang Xifeng's candidate, and almost everyone decided that Wang Xifenghui was born between Zhou Yue and Le Yun, and Deng Jie was just a foil.
The cameraman Li Yaozong once said to Deng Jie in person that people have self-knowledge and want to recognize themselves, and the makeup artist Lan Lan stared wide-eyed and said to Deng Jie in surprise, What, you want to play Wang Xifeng, how is it possible?
Alone, only director Wang Fulin is the most optimistic about Deng Jie.
Deng Jie once wanted to retreat, and even prepared to play Ping'er, it was director Wang Fulin who told her to "dare to fight", it was director Wang Fulin who gave her the opportunity to perform five plays of Wang Xifeng, so that everyone could see her potential, and it was also Director Wang Fulin who tried to exclude public opinion, and finally, Deng Jie was selected to play Wang Xifeng.
It can be said that Wang Fulin is Deng Jie's "nobleman", Deng Jie is a Maxima, and Wang Fulin is Bole.
Deng Jie also did not live up to Wang Fulin's expectations, and created a brilliant, capable, eloquent, and exquisite Wang Xifeng, becoming a classic artistic image.
After the 87th version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was broadcast, Wang Xifeng, played by Deng Jie, was the most popular role of the public and the only actor in the crew to win the Feitian Award.
For so many years, after Deng Jie, there was no longer Wang Xifeng, let alone Yao Di, even Liu Xiaoqing, who could not surpass Deng Jie.
