Regarding "A Dream of Red Mansions ", there are many film and television works in various forms. There are only a handful of them that may be recognized by the audience.
The one with relatively high national popularity is undoubtedly the 1987 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" starring Ouyang Fenqiang, Chen Xiaoxu and others. It currently has a score of 9.7 and is included in the list of high-scoring classic mainland dramas, becoming a benchmark for mainland film and television dramas.
The later versions of "Dream of Red Mansions" were terrible. In 2010, a version directed by Li Shaohong was aired. It was criticized in all aspects, from the obedience to the actor's performance, and it still has a score of 5.9 points.
In fact, this version was originally intended to be directed by Hu Mei, but she gave up the project halfway through, and Li Shaohong came to take over. But Hu Mei did not give up filming "Dream of Red Mansions". The team went through 10 years of continuous revision and began auditioning actors after passing the review in 2016. In the end, 70 or 80 actors were selected from 20,000 actors, and nine months of intensive training began. Acting teachers, piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting teachers were all arranged, and then filming and production began. It has been several years since the filming of this version of
was completed. It started pre-production last year and is expected to be released this year. The movie is called "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Match ". At the end of last year, the first trailer was released, and the first cast was officially announced.
was criticized a lot at that time, and his service was extremely perfunctory! There is no hair bun on the actress's head, and the hairstyle that sticks to the scalp loses its classic charm. Moreover, all the young actors have disheveled hair, while the older ones do not have disheveled hair. They all have similar looks, and their makeup looks like an internet celebrity, and they don’t look like ladies at all.
None of the actors were suitable, they were all very immature. Jia Baoyu played by Bian Cheng, Lin Daiyu played by Zhang Miaoyi, Xue Baochai played by Jiarong Huang, Jia Mu played by Lu Yan, Wang Xifeng played by Lin Peng, Jia Yuanchun played by Guan Xiaotong.
Daiyu is very round, and her face looks even fuller than Baochai's. She always feels like a maid, which has nothing to do with Sister Lin's appearance description. Guan Xiaotong is famous, but she doesn't fit the role. She wears gorgeous costumes to play the role of Concubine Yuan, but she doesn't have enough momentum, like a child wearing adult clothes.
Currently, the movie has released another trailer with the theme of "Conspiracy and Love", which has become more controversial. The most important thing is the fleeting appearance of Qin Keqing lying among flower petals, which aroused heated discussion among netizens. Qin Keqing's clothes were revealing and she was lying among the petals with a charming look on her face. Netizens said that this was a suspicion. Even Pan Jinlian is not so straightforward! Qin Keqing is just romantic, not "dirty and charming". This is a red building, not a brothel!
I really don’t agree with this look. Qin Keqing was born in poverty and is a dedicated mother. She is not romantic, but is immoral due to cowardice. She wasn't willing to do it either, and in the end she thought too much and left.
In fact, filming "Dream of Red Mansions" was really a thankless job. "Dream of Red Mansions" has too high a status, leaving too little space for the director to perform. If he is not careful, he will be reviled by everyone. When Li Shaohong filmed " Daming Palace Ci " Douban score was 9.1, his film "A Dream of Red Mansions" was overturned.
Hu Mei is also a well-known director with a high reputation. She has filmed classic dramas such as "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Hanwu Emperor". The filming not only created high ratings, but also won unanimous praise from the audience for its domineering, sharp and delicate character creation. But what she wanted to shoot was the first of the four classic Chinese masterpieces, so the difficulty was self-evident! Although it took many years and the director did put in a lot of effort, but looking at the two trailers released for "The Great Love" and "Conspiracy and Love", the results are really not optimistic!
So, whether this movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" brings us surprise or disappointment, we can only find out after the movie is released. Are you optimistic about it?
