In the original Dream of the Red Chamber, there is a person who looks very much like Lin Daiyu. She is the senior officer of the twelve drama officers. Therefore, after Lin Daiyu decided to be played by Chen Xiaoxu, based on the setting of the original work, it was necessary to find a person who looked very similar to Chen Xiaoxu to play the lingguan. It took a lot of effort for the crew to find Cheng Rong, who looked very similar to Chen Xiaoxu and sang Peking Opera. When Cheng Rong dressed up as a senior official, she frightened the director as soon as she opened her mouth, and it turned out that she was used to saying lines in Peking Opera.
Ling Guan is one of the Twelve Drama Officers of the Red Chamber, and she is a character who reflects Lin Daiyu. Ling Guan sang well, at Xue Baochao's birthday party, Wang Xifeng said that Ling Guan dressed like a person, Xue Baochao Jia Baoyu all saw that it was like Lin Daiyu, Bao Chao refused to say, Bao Yu did not dare to say, only Shi Xiangyun bluntly said like Lin Daiyu, the result caused Lin Shi an awkward, Jia Baoyu and then enlightened the Zen machine once.
Ling Guan and Jia Qiang were good friends, and their awkward situation was looked at by Jia Baoyu, which made Jia Baoyu realize his feelings once, and he became single-minded from pan-love. Therefore, Ling Guan is a very key figure in the dream of the Red Chamber.
Cheng Rong was born in a family of opera, his grandfather was the famous Kunqu performance artist Bai Yunsheng, and his grandmother was Li Fengyun, a famous Kunqu opera actor. Grandma Li Fengyun was the only actress in the northern Kunban before the founding of New China. His father, Cheng Zengkui, was also a literary and art worker, who had worked as a drama worker in the Dream of the Red Chamber Drama Crew and also played the role of Lai Da in the play.
Cheng Rong was influenced by the family art atmosphere since childhood, and was admitted to the Beijing Opera School at a very young age. Her physical temperament is very good, a pair of water spirit eyes gu pan god flying, very godly. She concentrated on studying Peking Opera at the Drama School, specializing in Hua Dan.
When the Dream of the Red Chamber crew selected actors in the national audition, Cheng Rong also knew about this matter, but felt that it had nothing to do with himself and did not go to his heart. When the crew came to the drama school to select actors, the teacher told her to try it. Coupled with his father's support and supervision, Cheng Rongcai went to try the mirror with the mentality of playing.
Soon, Cheng Rong received a notice from the Dream of the Red Chamber crew. The crew explicitly told her to prepare for the scene of the senior officer. Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that Cheng Rong and Lin Daiyu's actor Chen Xiaoxu look very similar. Because the middle-aged official in the original work is a person who is very similar to Lin Daiyu.
After entering the crew, everyone said that the two of them looked alike. They even sometimes confuse the two of them. But unfortunately, although Cheng Rong and Chen Xiaoxu look very similar and have spent some time together in the crew, there is no rivalry between the two, so the two have never been photographed, which is also a pity for those of us who like the 87 Dream of the Red Chamber TV series.
Cheng Rong, because he is a professional Peking opera singer, has no experience in film and television performance, and he does not understand what to pay attention to in film and television performance. Although she is no stranger to the Dream of the Red Chamber, she knows something about the character of Ling Guan. But I have not read the Dream of the Red Chamber in depth, nor have I deeply understood the character of Ling Guan.
Therefore, after entering the crew, Cheng Rong looked over the famous works of the Dream of the Red Chamber and carefully analyzed and studied the character of Ling Guan. Even though I was prepared, there were still unexpected situations when filming.
It was a scene in which Ling Guan painted Rose, and it was also the first scene filmed by Cheng Rong. As soon as she opened her mouth, she used Peking Opera to read the lines in white, and the director was shocked when he heard it. Immediately correct her film and television performance to live, to use ben voice to say lines. Assistant director Magazi also taught Cheng Rong word by word. Cheng Rong only then understood the difference between film and television performances and opera performances.
Because of the lack of understanding of film and television performances, the previous preparations were also wrong. Therefore, this drama is not easy for Cheng Rong. Ling Guan painting rose is a rain scene, when shooting to use artificial rain, after filming, you have to use a hair dryer to dry it and then shoot. The scene was filmed six or seven times before it ended.
For Cheng Rong, being able to participate in the Dream of the Red Chamber is the glory of her life. Not only in the art of improvement, but also in the value of life.
After filming the Dream of the Red Chamber, Cheng Rong participated in the filming of the movie "Dream of the Red Chamber", in which she played Xing Xiuyan. And later participated in the TV series "Cao Xueqin Dream Breaks the West Mountain", in which she played Lin Daiyu.
After graduating from the Beijing Opera School, Cheng Rong was admitted to the teaching class of the China Academy of Drama. After graduation, he returned to his alma mater, Beijing Opera School, as a teacher. At school, she was both a teacher and a sister, passing on her more than thirty years of experience to her students without reservation.
Cheng Rong's husband is a person outside the literary circle. Now Cheng Rong lives a quiet and fulfilling life. The husband likes "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the four famous works, and knows that Cheng Rong is the actor of Ling Guan, which is from the heart. He has always felt that the person in the painting has entered his life.
