87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" Wang Fulin boldly used new talents and selected actors in the national audition. For a while, the whole country was boiling, and there were an endless stream of self-recommended, recommended, and door-to-door people. Letters from all over the country flew to the crew like snowflakes, and the crew also set up a department to send and receive letters, and Wang Guie was responsible for the disassembly and collection of letters.
Chen Xiaoxu’s letter was discovered by Wang Guie in many letters. She found that this girl’s letter was unique, with photos, poems, and analysis and understanding of "A Dream of Red Mansions". So Wang Guie put Chen Xiaoxu The letter was handed over to director Wang Fulin, and Wang Fulin personally wrote a reply to Chen Xiaoxu, which made Chen Xiaoxu's "Lin Daiyu". After
, Wang Fulin sent casting directors to various parts of the country to choose actors suitable for Jia Mansion. Li Zhixin, Wang Guie, and Xia Minghui started their casting journey. They went to Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places and chose some girls who fit the image in the book. However, the candidate for "Jia Baoyu" has always could not find it.
Once, the casting director of the film crew found a suitable candidate, a student of the Xiqu Academy, whose appearance, height and temperament were in line with "Baoyu". However, when the crew sent someone back in the spring of the following year, he found that the boy had grown a lot taller in the winter, and he was 1.8 meters tall. Actors from
joined the crew one after another to receive the red school training, but there is still no candidate for Jia Baoyu. The first training course of Red Mansions is over. Most of the actors have a full understanding of the original work and a sufficient analysis of the characters in the book. There are still no candidates for Jia Baoyu. Then the second training class of the Red Mansions begins. The actors Choose a character that suits you, make a sketch, and let the director choose it. Later, until the twelve hairpins in Jinling, they are all selected and the calendar is published. There is still no candidate for Jia Baoyu.
This made the entire crew distraught. Seeing that the training class is about to end, the crew is about to start up, but as the leading actor "Baoyu" in the play, there is not even a shadow. As a result, the crew advertised in newspapers to recruit Jia Baoyu candidates from across the country. At this time, Ouyang Fenqiang of the Emei Film Factory looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He never thought that Jia Baoyu would have anything to do with him, let alone that he could play Jia Baoyu.
The famous scholar Wu Zuguang said, Jia Baoyu hasn't been born yet, where can you find it? Someone suggested to director Wang Fulin, or just use an actress to reverse the string. Throughout the ages, the Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" has not been played by actresses? However, director Wang Fulin was not reconciled. He did not believe that there was no such thing as "Jia Baoyu" in the huge China.
At that time, there were several actresses in the crew who wanted to play "Jia Baoyu" very much. Zhang Yuping was one and Dongfang Wenying was one. Especially Dongfang Wenying, her character is bold and righteous, with a boyish spirit. On weekdays, she doesn't like to play with the girls around, she likes to play with boys. She has a special liking for "Baoyu". In the absence of Baoyu, she once dressed up as Baoyu to act for actors such as Chen Xiaoxu and Guo Xiaozhen.
Dongfang Wenying's "Baoyu" appearance is very heroic and heroic, but at first glance it still has the characteristics of a girl, unlike the later Ouyang Fenqiang, although it is also a bit charming, but at first glance it looks like a boy. This is the wiseness of director Wang Fulin.
Many years later, when Dongfang Wenying, Deng Jie, Wang Fulin, and Yuan Mei were guests on the variety show "It is said to be very good", the host broke the news that the main purpose of Dongfang Wenying's entry into the crew was to play Jia Baoyu. Director Wang Fulin was surprised and said that this was the first time he had heard of it in so many years.
It is true that playing "Jia Baoyu" is the purpose of Dongfang Wenying, but she did not dare to speak to the director, because at the time director Wang Fulin was firmly opposed to "Jia Baoyu" being reversed by the actress. Dongfang Wenying knew that even if she said it, The director would not agree, so she didn't say anything, only did it. She dressed up Baoyu and played with the actors. She hopes that when there are no candidates for "Baoyu" in the end, Director Wang Fulin will consider herself.
So, even if so longing, Dongfang Wenying didn't tell Wang Fulin, so Wang Fulin didn't know about this until 30 years later.
However, afterwards, Ouyang Fenqiang appeared, and Dongfang Wenying had to dispel this idea. When director Wang Fulin asked her to play Tanchun, she put all her thoughts on "Tanchun" and created aDare to love and hate, neat and capable image. The person of
back then was really simple, without selfish thoughts, just like Zhang Yuping, she also wanted to play "Baoyu", but Ouyang Fenqiang recommended to director Wang Fulin. The
87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has become a classic, and director Wang Fulin has contributed.
