When it comes to the "Dream of the Red Chamber" film and television drama, everyone thinks of the first is the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and the second is the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", that is, Li Shaohong's version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
So far, the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has become a classic, and the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has become a major failure.
Although the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has been unanimously criticized by the public in terms of script, actors, and music, the actors in the play, all of whom are young and agile, are the best actors selected from all over the country.
I have to say that the casting of the new version of the Red Chamber still has a certain degree of skill, and many of the actors who came out of the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" have become the top streams of the show business circle, such as Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Li Qin, Yang Yang and so on.
At that time, because of the contradiction between the original director Hu Mei and the "Red Chamber Draft", he resigned as a director, and Li Shaohong was ordered to take over the position of director. In fact, for Li Shaohong, this is a "hot potato", just like she said herself, at that time, everyone thought that whoever photographed who was unlucky.
However, for Li Shaohong, it is even more inappropriate to shoot, she has never carefully studied "Dream of the Red Chamber", or even read through the original work, in this way, she has become the general director of the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
It is not difficult to understand why there is a situation in which Dai Yu is fat and thin in the play. Such a low-level mistake, as long as there is a little understanding of "Dream of the Red Chamber", will not be made.
Although Li Shaohong is not familiar with "Dream of the Red Chamber", it does not prevent her from exercising the power of the director, at that time Li Shaohong was not familiar with everything, everything had to start from scratch, the so-called waste to be revived, the only resource was the 70 players selected from the "Dream of the Red Chamber".
It is these actors, Li Shaohong is not fully accepted, she decided to re-cast herself. Therefore, in 2007, the new version of the Red Chamber crew sent casting directors to major art colleges and universities across the country to re-select actors.
Later, these actors were screened out from 700,000 people in the country, and when the final screening reached the remaining 20,000 people, Li Shaohong began to choose to meet, and in a very short period of time, to understand the temperament, appearance, and whether they matched the roles in the play, it was a very large and arduous task.
She is director Li Shaohong's eye at a glance, and she feels that her appearance and temperament are very "dream of the Red Chamber", but the school does not let go. Therefore, Li Shaohong told the producer Li Xiaowan about this situation, and asked Li Xiaowan to personally invite her, and Li Xiaowan "three Gu Maolu" finally invited her to the crew.
She is Li Qin, the actor of Xiao Baochao in the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
In 2008, Li Qin, who was still studying at the affiliated school of the Shanghai Theater Academy to study professional Kunqu performing arts, was selected by Cai Zhengren, who was the president of the Shanghai Kunqu Academy at the time, to become the fifth generation of "Du Liniang" of the academy and emerged in the Kunqu circle.
In 1990, Li Qin was born in the birthplace of Kunqu Opera, in Bacheng Town, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province. In 2001, Li Qin had already entered the Xiqu Interest Class opened by Shipai Central Primary School in Bacheng Town and received training in the basic skills of Xiqu.
Training a Kunqu opera actor is very important for the school, it takes ten years, not to mention that Li Qin was still the top man in the school at that time.
Therefore, when Li Xiaowan came to the Shanghai Theater Academy and proposed to the school leaders to invite Li Qin to come to the Red Chamber crew, she was refused. The school leaders were reluctant and did not borrow, after all, it took twenty years to produce such a boudoir.
The school leaders said to her very firmly, Li Xiaowan, you don't want to come in the future, please. Therefore, Li Xiaowan, who was rejected, stood at the door of the Shanghai Theater Academy and called Li Shaohong, saying, Shaohong, the school will not release people, please start the second plan.
The so-called second plan is the second candidate, which proves that Li Xiaowan has given up Li Qin.
However, Li Shaohong on the other end of the phone did not say a word for half a day, and after a long time, he said, "I'm sorry, there is no second plan." At this point, Li Xiaowan understood.
Therefore, Li Xiaowan sorted out her emotions a little, walked into the door of the Shanghai Theater Academy again, and then fought for it, but still fruitless.
In desperation, Li Xiaowan had to find another way and find a way. She went to Li Qin's hometown to do the work of Li Qin's parents. At first, Li Qin's parents did not agree, but they could not stand Li Xiaowan's perseverance and persuasion, and they were touched by Li Xiaowan's sincerity. In this way, Li Xiaowan received the support of Li Qin's parents and the whole village.
Then, Li Xiaowan took Li Qin's parents to the Shanghai Theater Academy and asked the school leaders again, hoping to let Li Qin go to the Red Chamber crew. Under the soft and hard help of Li Xiaowan, the school leaders moved their compassion and reluctantly agreed.
In this way, Li Qin was able to come to the Red Chamber crew and receive training.
After hearing that Li Qin came to the crew, Li Xiaowan quickly found Li Shaohong and said, let me see what kind of girl she is, let me toss like this. When she saw Li Qin, Li Xiaowan felt that her eyes lit up, this little girl really had a special charm.
In fact, Li Qin's heart is also very entangled, on the one hand, she likes Kunqu opera, so many years, Kunqu has become a part of her life, not to mention that the school has cultivated herself for so many years, she feels that she should not leave the school, every semester there are plans, there are certain performances, after she left, these plans are chaotic. On the other hand, "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a very good opportunity, such an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She did not know how to choose, after coming to the crew, the school teacher did not give up, and kept calling Li Qin to persuade her to go back. Under the persuasion of the teacher, Li Qin's heart was shaken.
Therefore, the drama academy sent teachers to find a training place, hoping that Li Qin could return to school and continue his studies.
When the school teacher came to the training base, Jiang Mengjie, who had been with Li Qin, heard about it and blocked her in the toilet and would not let her go out. Then, Jiang Mengjie quickly ventilated the message and called the director and assistant director. Under the persuasion of the directors, Li Qincai decided to stay and continue to stay in the crew.
Li Shaohong said that from this experience process, I think she is particularly Xue Baochao. She balances the feeling of affairs, which is why I finally think it is more appropriate for her to play Xue Baochao. The way she thinks about the problem, and she thinks very well and will have to sacrifice herself.
When Li Qin decided to leave, she was completely moved by what the teacher said and what she should do, which made Li Shaohong see that Li Qin had Xue Baochao's side. So, in the end, Li Qin played the teenager Xue Baochao in the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber". Since then, Li Qin has embarked on the road of acting.
A Kunqu actor disappeared, and a film and television star rose.
