The 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a classic in people's hearts, in order to shoot this classic masterpiece, the crew lived together for more than three years, everyone ate and lived and worked together, just like family, and established a lifelong friendship between each other. Among them, three couples have become acquainted with the drama, and after many years, they are still happy and happy.
Among them is Wu Xiaodong and Shen Lin, a husband and wife.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", Wu Xiaodong played Jia Yun, while Shen Lin played Ping'er. These two characters don't seem to have any rivalry, how did they meet and fall in love?
In 1983, the Red Chamber Crew was established. This year, Wu Xiaodong, as an actor in the Chengde Repertory Theatre, has completed a TV series "Wedding Scene Meeting", in which he starred in the male protagonist Zheng Yunshan. After that, he played Prince Gong in "Yi Guifei" and was favored by the Red Chamber crew.
However, when the Red Chamber crew looked for Wu Xiaodong everywhere, he was waiting to shoot "Lin Qiaozhi", as a result, this scene was not filmed, and when he entered the "Dream of the Red Chamber" crew, the first study class was nearing the end.
Although he did not catch up with the study class, Wu Xiaodong was not too anxious, because he already had experience in shooting TV series, and the advantage was very obvious compared to most of the actors in the crew who had no experience in acting. For this reason, Wu Xiaodong, who has just entered the group, seems to be a bit high-minded. At that time, he wanted to play Jia Lian.
Different from Wu Xiaodong's treatment, the crew of "Dream of the Red Chamber" did not take the initiative to contact Shen Lin, but went to Nanjing to recruit actors, and all the members of the literary and art groups went to visit, including Shen Lin.
Although Shen Lin was pretty and cute, there was a hint of clarity in her bones at that time, and she first tried not the role of Ping'er, but Miaoyu.
However, Wang Fulin felt that Shen Lin was more suitable for playing Ping'er, and learned that Shen Lin's family held objections, and personally went to the door to do Shen Lin's family work.
In this way, Shen Lin's role was fixed early, and when Wu Xiaodong entered the group to try Jia Lian's role, he chose a ping'er opponent play, and he had to find Shen Lin's partner, which had the first meeting between Wu Xiaodong and Shen Lin.
After trying the play, Wu Xiaodong did not immediately determine the role. But Shen Lin's help made him remember it.
When the second study class started, Wu Xiaodong went to the station to pick up the actors, and coincidentally, he met Shen Lin again. Of course, he could not miss this good opportunity, and immediately said that in order to thank Shen Lin for setting up a play for himself, he spent a lot of money and invited Shen Lin to eat dumplings, of course, not handmade dumplings, but machine dumplings.
With two exchanges, Wu Xiaodong and Shen Lin became acquainted, plus he wanted to play Jia Lian at that time, and under the banner that Jia Lian wanted to interact more with Wang Xifeng and Ping'er, he often went to Deng Jie and Shen Lin's dormitory to chat and walk with them.
Once, Wu Xiaodong and Shen Lin were walking in the garden, and it rained lightly, creating an atmosphere that was particularly suitable for confession. What Wu Xiaodong did not expect was that Shen Lin's words made him particularly embarrassed.
Shen Lin asked him: How old is your child?
Maybe after asking this sentence, Shen Lin herself was shocked.
Wu Xiaodong was extremely embarrassed at that time, he was a young man in his early twenties, he didn't talk about love, how could he have children? Could it be that in her eyes, she was old enough to have children?
The love talk is not smooth, and the role cannot be determined, which can upset Wu Xiaodong.
In those days, he couldn't sleep all night, and every time he felt like he was lying down, the rooster began to crow.
Sleeping badly, he was on fire again, and Wu Xiaodong's face grew pimples. Perhaps, such a physiological reaction can prove that his youth is just in his youth, however, such an image makes him very unconfident. He no longer took the initiative to find Shen Lin, and he also lost the opportunity to play Jia Lian. In the end, the role of Jia Yun was obtained.
There is a saying called "the honey of the other, the arsenic of my". Wu Xiaodong super wanted to play Jia Lian, but did not have the opportunity to act, got a Jia Yun, the role is particularly small, let him feel that the gap is still quite large. On the other hand, Gao Hongliang, who got the role of Jia Lian, was also very disappointed, he originally felt that his appearance and character were super decent, he should play Liu Xianglian, but what he got was Jia Lian, who he didn't like, fortunately, his acting skills were too good, and the audience didn't hate him after watching Jia Lian.
It was probably that both men were more depressed, so they collectively chose to be in love. What makes people even more depressed is that the man who played Liu Xianglian actually violated discipline and fell in love, and even got married when he was in the crew, which shows how efficient he is.
And Wu Xiaodong, what is missing is efficiency.
Someone asked, Jia Yun's role is so small, but Wu Xiaodong has been in the crew for more than three years, what is the purpose of spending a lot of time.
In fact, Wu Xiaodong is not idle, in the days when he is not acting, in addition to chasing Shen Lin, he also has to follow Wang Fulin to learn field notes.
At that time, there was no mobile phone or iPad, and the difficulty of making a field note was obviously much greater, and there was a lot of content that needed to be recorded. Which actors in a scene, what clothes they wear, what hairstyles they wear, what jewelry they wear, what props are arranged, etc., all need to be recorded in detail, otherwise there will be a dressing gang.
Thinking of so many scenes in the dream of the Red Chamber, there are also many characters, and Wu Xiaodong's field recording work should also be very hard.
In this way, everyone is busy, learning, and three years have passed, and Wu Xiaodong and Shen Lin need to face the problem of how to work together.
For them, it is simply not realistic to transfer the work unit, and the only way is to study.
In 1987, Wu Xiaodong was admitted to the Chinese opera, and Shen Lin went to the Guangdong Military Region Soldiers' Song and Dance Troupe, and the two people had just established a romantic relationship and faced separation between the two places.
In an era when there were no mobile phones and telephones were not yet widespread, they could only rely on letters to maintain their feelings.
Shen Lin would write letters to Wu Xiaodong every day, and sometimes she wanted to say too much, and unconsciously wrote seven or eight pages. At that time, although Wu Xiaodong was a student of the Drama Academy, he had already acted in such a big drama as "Dream of the Red Chamber", which made the students admire, and also got the special attention of the teacher, mainly for the homework of drama shooting, and everyone always let Wu Xiaodong carry the beam. This also caused Wu Xiaodong to be particularly busy, sometimes so busy that he did not have time to read the letters written by Shen Lin.
In this way, Wu Xiaodong has been busy, seeing that he is going to graduate, and in order to intern, he entered the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", worked as an executive director in the crew, and played the role of Sun Jian.
What Wu Xiaodong did not expect was that after playing Sun Jian, the actor who was originally scheduled to play Sun Quan resigned, and director Wang Fulin handed over the role of Sun Quan to him.
This made Wu Xiaodong both flattered and particularly worried, after all, Sun Quan was an extremely important role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the personality of this role was too different from Sun Jian.
In this way, in the years since the separation of the two people in 1987, there has been no idleness. Even if the work is busy and the interpersonal circle is expanding, it has not affected the feelings of the two people.
Six years later, Shen Lin returned to Beijing from Guangzhou, and the two began to include marriage on the agenda.
In 1995, Shen Lin and Wu Xiaodong finally had lovers who finally became dependents and married under the blessing of relatives and friends. After marriage, the two continued to devote themselves to the film and television drama business.
Just when CCTV was preparing to shoot "Water Margin", Wu Xiaodong got a cameo opportunity, but after hearing that it was a small white face that played and Yan Poxi, Wu Xiaodong gave up and went to the "Sun Wu" crew. This play brings together many important actors in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such as Sun Yanjun, Lu Shuming, Bao Guoan, and Yuan Ming, who participated in "Dream of the Red Chamber", and Shen Lin also played a small role in the play.
By the turn of the millennium, Wu Xiaodong and Shen Lin had children, and the children were particularly sticky to their mothers, which also led to Shen Lin gradually withdrawing from the show business circle and becoming a housewife.
Although the life of a housewife is hard, Shen Lin is not unhappy, and the orderly arrangement she has made at home also allows Wu Xiaodong to develop her career well.
Wu Xiaodong has acted as an actor and director, and has played many classic roles, and also directed "Dawn Decisive Battle" and "Housewives Also Fight". When directing "Housewives Also Fight", he was particularly able to understand the difficulties of housewives and the sacrifices that Shen Lin made for herself and for the family, which made Shen Lin very moved.
In general, the three couples of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" crew, their feelings have been tested for 30 years, and today, the three families are still very happy.
As far as Wu Xiaodong and Shen Lin were concerned, it was not easy for them to finally come together. When they met, in that implicit era, neither of them was good at expressing emotions. After the relationship is familiar and mutually favorable, they have to face the harsh reality, and it is impossible to be together without studying.
Years of separation did not consume their feelings, and the two people were not anxious because they were old and did not get married, but firmly believed that they would eventually come together. This is not easy.
What makes people feel even more difficult is that after many years of marriage, the husband and wife can still understand each other, understand each other's efforts and hardships, and consider problems from each other's point of view, which is also something that many families do not have.
