"Qin Xianglian", also known as "The Case of Chen Mei", is a widely circulated folk story in China, which has been adapted into drama and film and television works many times, including Chao opera, Yu opera, Han opera, Chu opera, commentary, etc., and the film and television works include the 1964 film "Qin Xianglian" starring Jackie Chan, the 1993 TV series "Bao Qingtian" starring Jin Chaoqun and He Jiajin, the 2011 TV series "Qin Xianglian" starring Chen Haomin and Yuan Shanshan, and the 2019 TV series "Bao Qingtian Rises Again" starring Tan Junyan and Hu Dingxin. Wait a minute.
Jackie Chan's version is a long time ago, many viewers have not seen it, the story of Qin Xianglian in "Bao Qingtian" is only one of the branches, only the 32-episode TV series starring Chen Haomin and Yuan Shanshan is a separate interpretation, telling the story of Qin Xianglian and Chen Shimei from multiple angles. The drama was broadcast on the star in 2011, which caused a lot of repercussions, and the most discussed at that time was not only the plot, but also the behind-the-scenes role-changing story.
In 2010, Bai Yongcheng, the head of Shanghai Baoqi Film and Television, a famous actor and director, joined hands with Shandong, Henan and other TV stations to invest 36 million yuan to bring "Qin Xianglian" to the small screen. Because of the eye-catching theme, coupled with a large investment, it soon set off a wave of heat, and the producer launched an online survey of "please choose the actor candidates of Qin Xianglian and Chen Shimei in your heart", and for a while Chen Haomin, Chen Kun, Nie Yuan, She Shiman, He Lin, Fan Bingbing, Sun Feifei and other popular actors have been on the list.
Netizens are in full swing to discuss, the producers are also working intensively to prepare, the earliest announcement is the supporting cast, cass is quite strong, including Liu Xuehua, Dillon, Chen Shali and other Hong Kong and Taiwan heavyweight actors. The lead actor has been delayed in seeing the official announcement, which has satisfied the audience's appetite. After dozens of days of online investigation, the main cast was announced on April 22, with the male lead actor played by Hong Kong popular student Chen Haomin and the female lead by He Lin, who won the 33rd International Emmy Awards.
At that time, Bai Yongcheng, the chief producer of "Qin Xianglian", said in an interview that He Lin not only had a pure appearance and good looks in ancient costumes, but also won the "Golden Eagle Award" Best Supporting Actress Award, and was also the first actress in China to win the "International Emmy Award".
In terms of external image, He Lin is indeed very suitable, she has played a lot of bitter roles before, and she has also starred in the role of Princess Ziyu in Hao Lei's version of "The Case of Xinhua Beauty". In addition, from 1997 to the filming of "Qin Xianglian" has 13 years of performance experience, won many awards, played this role with ease.
In late May 2010, "Qin Xianglian" was officially launched in Hengdian, but within a few days, it was revealed that the heroine He Lin was replaced, and she was replaced by Yuan Shanshan, a newcomer who had just graduated. As soon as the news came out, various criticisms about Yuan Shanshan followed, "Yuan Shanshan is a relative of the director", "Yuan Shanshan bought a role with a lot of money", "unspoken rules", "there is a background" and so on.
According to the industry rules, it is taboo to change the angle after booting, in addition to bringing no small economic losses, it is also necessary to bear huge joint and several risks. General director Bai Yongcheng was silent in the face of the reporter's questioning, only saying, "This issue is very complicated, I don't want to say more, it has indeed undergone a very complicated psychological struggle." ”
Yuan Shanshan said that she was also surprised to be selected as the heroine, she said that she and Bai director did not know each other before, it was after cooperating with Li Ying in "Wild Duck", recommended by Teacher Li Ying to Bai Yu to play the role of Bao Lingxuan in "Qin Xianglian". She said that she was still in Beijing when she started the phone, and suddenly received a phone call one night, asking her to rush to Hengdian early the next morning, saying that she had added a scene to shoot. So the next morning she got up at five o'clock to take the earliest flight to Hengdian, completed the styling and audition without knowing it, and finally changed from the original female number three Bao Lingxuan to the female number one.
Finally, in the face of acting skills, Yuan Shanshan said that she was also from the Zheng'er Eight Classics class, and even confidently said: I Yuan Shanshan is Qin Xianglian.
Two months later, the drama was successful, and in November 2011, at the premiere ceremony of "Qin Xianglian", perhaps to create momentum for the TV series, Director Bai first revealed the reason for replacing He Lin in the first place. He said: He Lin is the actress Qin Xianglian that I used after the boot, that is, the actress He Lin who won the "Emmy Award Queen". But some actors used to be very good, after winning the award, some people unconsciously brought the aura of "queen of the film" into the role, that feeling made Qin Xianglian play like a humble woman.
Bai Dao's meaning was very clear, and he felt that He Lin had drifted after taking the shadow queen, and he couldn't meet his requirements and replaced her overnight, even if it was a newcomer who had just come out of the woods. For Yuan Shanshan's performance, Bai Dao said that her crying scene was comparable to that of Liu Xuehua, the "queen of crying drama" at that time.
The casting created a wave of momentum, the role change set off a wave of public opinion, before the start of filming, the announcement of the inside story of the role change is even more popular, but the feedback after the launch of "Qin Xianglian" is not good, especially the audience's traditional cognition of abandoning the original scumbag Chen Shimei who climbed the magnate, beautified into a gentle gentleman who misunderstands that his wife and children are dead to marry a princess, and this subversive character shaping has caused a lot of controversy.
However, this role has brought Yuan Shanshan a lot of popularity, if it is through this drama to know Yuan Shanshan, will be unconvinced by the black "ugly" behind her, after all, she has not yet starred in those costume dramas that are red and willow green, and when she is over-marketed by Yu Ma, Yuan Shanshan is still quite beautiful.
Some angles are also a bit like Qin Lan
The most impressive thing is that In this play, Yuan Shanshan is too able to cry, and Liu Xuehua, the "queen of the crying drama", is enough to cry:
Who knows that Yuan Shanshan can cry even more:
The mother-in-law has a bitter face every day, and the daughter-in-law also has a bitter face every day, a little sympathetic to Chen Shimei every day to face such two women.
When he starred in this drama, Chen Haomin was over forty years old and was still quite well maintained.
However, the most handsome should be the male number two Guan Zhibin who plays Zhao Zhen:
Director Bai Yongcheng made a cameo appearance of a villain, Xiangyang Wang:
Female No. 2 is Lv Jingjing, the winner of the 2004 "Miss Asia" championship, playing Princess Zhao Zhao, who won the love of the horizontal knife. Lu Jingjing is really beautiful, the figure is good, I don't know why the development is flat, in recent years there has been no movement of her.
In the blink of an eye, this drama has been broadcast for nine years, Yuan Shanshan has experienced Yu Zheng's packaging "black and red" for a long time, and now it seems that the new company is a bit lacking in stamina.
He Lin, who was originally replaced by a role, married Wu Bing, the son of the old drama bone Lü Zhong, and after giving birth to a daughter in 2015, the focus shifted to family life, and few works have appeared in recent years.
