This time we went to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province to hold a concert for the 30th 5 anniversary broadcast of " Dream of Red Mansions ". After I came back, I made an audio call with director Wang to report the grand occasion. The original intention of "Dream of Red Mansions".
is like a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts, and everyone has a treasure brother Lin sister in their hearts. Especially Yue Opera "Dream of Red Mansions" Zhuyu is in front, people think that if the face of Xu Yulan is changed, it will not be Jia Baoyu , and the face of Wang Wenjuan will not be Lin Daiyu . But Director Wang said that after eight episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" aired, all the audience would recognize that Ouyang Fenqiang 's face is Jia Baoyu, and Lin Xiaoxu's face is Lin Daiyu.
Director Wang said that the original intention of my filming "A Dream of Red Mansions" was to popularize "A Dream of Red Mansions", so that those who had not read "A Dream of Red Mansions" could understand "A Dream of Red Mansions" by watching the series once. Decades have passed, and many viewers re-read the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions" after watching "A Dream of Red Mansions". Wang Dao's original intention was realized, and "Dream of Red Mansions" was popularized to the audience as a popular culture.
Recently, I heard that junior high school and high school textbooks have begun to have "Dream of Red Mansions" model essays, such as Hulu Monk 's case of misjudging Hulu, Baodai's meeting, etc. Now let junior high school children reread "A Dream of Red Mansions" ", popularize "Dream of Red Mansions" and learn the culture of "Dream of Red Mansions". It turned out that we thought that people before the 1980s had feelings for "Dream of Red Mansions", but people born in the 1990s and 10s are very familiar with "Dream of Red Mansions". When the teachers were teaching "Dream of Red Mansions" in the classroom, they talked about the case of the gourd monk's arbitrary sentence of the gourd, the first meeting of Baodai, and Baodai's study in the West Wing. manage? Students can go back and read the 87th edition of "Dream of Red Mansions". After reading the 87th edition, they will know that Baodai will be like this at the beginning, Baodai will read and in the west compartment, and the gourd monk will judge the gourd case like this. It also confirmed the original intention of Director Wang to film "Dream of Red Mansions".
Director Wang said, "Hong Hai, you don't know. In 1982, the script of CCTV's TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" was almost written. By 1983, the preparatory work had already started. Filming started, and by the end of 1983, the preface and the first episode had been filmed (that is, the story of the skinny monk, the lame Taoist priest, and Zhen Shiyin, which was later combined into the first episode), and the actors of "Dream of Red Mansions" were selected by the national audition.
did not expect that "Dream of Red Mansions" would get a particularly big response after six episodes. The music of "A Dream of Red Mansions", as soon as the opening song was played, everyone rushed home to watch "A Dream of Red Mansions". It was really crowded and praised. Sure enough, after eight episodes, people recognized Ouyang Fenqiang and Chen Xiaoxu and 's brother Bao and sister Lin.
Why did the 87 version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" later become a classic?
is number one, in 1989, Xie Tieli 's movie "Dream of Red Mansions" was released, and they are all famous actors, Liu Xiaoqing plays Wang Xifeng , Xia Jing plays Baoyu, Tao Huimin plays Lin Daiyu, the audience must buy tickets to enter Watched at the cinema. After they went to the cinema, they thought the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was good. Because the TV drama "A Dream of Red Mansions", Ouyang Fen's strong role as Baoyu was played by a boy, and the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions" Xia Jing played Baoyu was after all a woman dressed as a man. The movie "A Dream of Red Mansions" has a small capacity, with six films and eight episodes. You have to go to the cinema to watch it. You can only watch two episodes with one movie ticket, and you have to buy a lot of movie tickets to watch it. The 87th edition has many stories, many characters, and large capacity, and people can watch it while eating, chatting, and drinking tea at home. Therefore, the 87 version of the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions" has the convenience of media communication.
Second, in 2004, "Art Life" brought together the directors, screenwriters and actors of "Dream of Red Mansions", and specially planned a "Dream of Red Mansions Reunited in 20 Years", which made the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" once again a household name.
The third is the death of Chen Xiaoxu in 2007, and the 87th edition of "The Red Chamber""Dream" had a certain response. People lamented the similarities in the fate of the actor and the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions" Lin Daiyu, and regretted the passing of Mei, which has a certain "empathy" effect on the 87 version of the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions". The fourth
is the remake of "A Dream of Red Mansions", such as the 2010 Li Shaohong version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Hu Mei's version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" which will be released next year. Whenever "A Dream of Red Mansions" is remade, everyone will wake up the memory of the 87 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", discuss and pay attention.
Famous actor Zhang Guoli often said, I have been filming TV series for decades, and the filming of this crew is over, and the filming of that crew is over. There is no one like your 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions". Every year There is movement, there are gatherings every year, and news every year.
Why does the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" keep moving in people's minds? Because there are constant events.
is held every five years, and the earliest is 20 years of artistic life. In Beiwang Mountain in 2014, I planned and organized a 30-year event for "Dream of Red Mansions". After that, in 2017, I planned to do a commemorative event for the 30th anniversary of the broadcast of "Dream of Red Mansions" (Zhang Guoli was also the host at that time). I found Director Wang at that time. I think Director Wang is the soul of the 87th edition of "A Dream of Red Mansions". To do such a thing must be approved by Director Wang. I went to Beijing to talk to Director Wang, who readily agreed. He said that the concert must be approved by Wang Liping , because the composer is Wang Liping. So call Wang Liping in front of me. At that time, Wang Liping was in the United States. After getting on the phone, he informed me of my idea to hold an event like the 30th anniversary of the broadcast of "Dream of Red Mansions", and Wang Liping readily agreed. Wang Liping's original words at the time were, "Director Wang, I was your student in the past, and now I'm still your student. You can do whatever you want."
Later, I invited Director Wang, Ren Dahui , and Dongfang Wenying . We went to the Cao Society, sat down with them for a symposium, and prepared for the 30th anniversary of the broadcast of "Dream of Red Mansions". I also planned for this matter for more than three months, but because of my poor health, I was hospitalized. Director Wang asked Ouyang to work hard and said that the 30th anniversary of the broadcast of "A Dream of Red Mansions" could not be stranded. First, you have a company, and secondly, , Xue Pan, and are not in good health. Ouyang, you will take care of this matter.
"Dream of Red Mansions" broadcast 30 years of commemorative activities, held in Great Hall of the People . There was thunderous applause when the host introduced each actor and the role he or she played. When the singer of the theme song "Dream of Red Mansions" Chen Li opened his mouth to sing the first sentence of " Ning Mei ", many audiences shed tears. Later, we held a concert of "Dream of Red Mansions" in Zhengding, and thus completed the 30-year commemorative event of "Dream of Red Mansions".
At the beginning of 2022, Shaanxi Grand Drama Theater approached Ouyang Fenqiang, and proposed to hold a commemorative event for the 35th anniversary of "Dream of Red Mansions". At that time, Ouyang Fenqiang filmed " Lian Family Boat People's Beautiful Life " in Fujian, and he said that I was filming , I don't have time to do this, you go to Deng Jie . Later, Deng Jie was all worried about this matter, planning and doing it, and it was very successful in the end. If
wants to hold such a concert, Wang Liping must be invited out. Due to the epidemic, Chen Li, who is far away in Canada, was unable to participate. And Wu Bixia and have performed many concerts in "Dream of Red Mansions", so I invited Wu Bixia. The famous actor Zhang Guoli, a family member of the actor of the 87th edition of "A Dream of Red Mansions", was specially invited to be the host of this concert. Shaanxi is performed by Xi'an Symphony Orchestra , conductor Zhang Lie is the chief conductor of China Film Orchestra , he is also very familiar with "Dream of Red Mansions". Zhou Xianzhen who played Mrs. Wang is already a 90-year-old old man, but she is still willing to participate. Due to the inconvenience of her legs and feet, she came to the stage in a wheelchair.
Five male actors on our side (Ouyang Fenqiang, Gao Hongliang , Hou Changrong , Chen Honghai , Wu Xiaodong) sang " Red Bean Song ". Deng Jie sang "Smart and Tired", Deng Jie said before the performance of : "This time I used a large-scale symphony to accompany me, and I was under a lot of pressure." But in the end, she sang very successfully, and the audience applauded.
then Deng Jie (as Wang Xifeng), Yuan Mei (as Xiren), Sun Caihong (as Zhou Ruijia's ), Jin Lili (as Yingchun), Hu Zehong (as Xichun), Shen Lin (as ) Pinger ), as well as Yang Xiaoling (as Xia Jingui ), Liu Lingling (as Yinger ), Chen Jianyue ( Xiangling ), Sun Mengquan (as Li Wan), and Ouyang Fenqiang together again I read aloud the paragraph "Baodai's first meeting".
When Ouyang Fenqiang said affectionately, "It's not impossible to see each other far away", at this time, all the lights in the huge studio went out, and the audience was pitch black. The audience was a little overwhelmed, but no one made a sound, they were all waiting. At this time, in the middle of the large stage, Chen Xiaoxu's version of "Lin Daiyu" came one after another. This is a reproduction of Chen Xiaoxu's "Lin Daiyu" image on stage with CG imaging technology. After a brief silence, the audience exclaimed, "Sister Lin is back." Unfortunately, the time is too short, only a few seconds. Everyone gave thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time. The applause fell, and the Daiyu disappeared.
At this time, in the auditorium, a girl shouted " Xiaoxu , don't go." Whether it was the actors on stage or the audience offstage, everyone broke their defenses and burst into tears. The phrase "Xiaoxu, don't go" expressed the hearts and minds of many fans, and exhausted the infatuation and retention of Xiaoxu fans, which brought the atmosphere of this concert to a climax.
everyone gathered again, although not many people came this time, but everyone was very happy, very happy. We held a welcome meeting on the 15th, and the Grand Theater organized a banquet. During the banquet, Wang Liping suggested that we all said that we all miss Director Wang. After I sent the video to Director Wang, Director Wang was very emotional. Every time Wang Liping mentioned Wang Dao, he would say that the greatest thing about Wang Dao is that the does not interfere with the professional of our main creators. Director Wang asked Wang Liping to compose the music, saying, I don't understand music, I will only tell you the feeling of "Dream of Red Mansions", as for how you write it, it is up to you. Shi Yanqin do the costumes, Yang Shuyun do the makeup for "A Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Dao only grasps the big feeling, he will propose a revision plan based on his understanding of "A Dream of Red Mansions". But it does not interfere with the creation of various functional departments. "Let us let go of our hands and open our hearts to create."
The 35th anniversary of the "Dream of Red Mansions" concert held by the Shaanxi Grand Theater was very successful. I don't know how many people there are in the theater, but it was full, especially the one on the 17th, because was Saturday, and there were so many people. They are all shouting: "Wang Liping, I love you!" "Deng Jie, I love you"... We came out of the backstage door after the performance, and many fans were waiting backstage, holding the program list and holding the book. We actors came out to sign autographs, and fans formed a long, long queue, saying "I love you, I love you" to every actor who came out. The whole thing was unprecedented.
I estimate that the Shaanxi Grand Theater will make the whole performance live and send it to each of our actors. I will send it to you when there is something. Good, goodbye. (Zhang Hui)
