"What do you think is the best domestic remake in recent years?"
Many people inevitably have a blank mind. Are there any good domestic remakes in recent years?
Yes, when it comes to the domestic remakes in recent years, many viewers can't help but choke and sigh.
was badly filmed with Jin Yong and Gulong themes, and the clamoring Japanese and Korean dramas were copied and rebuilt, but the classic IP was rebuilt and destroyed. The audience just wanted to shout: "Let's let go of the classics!"
is in this situation of "ten turn and nine beats". In 2017, a remake that was considered absolutely impossible to surpass the original was welcomed by everyone.
It is
"Little Drama Bones: A Dream of Red Mansions: Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden"
This TV series was broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV on October 1, 2017. Once it was broadcast, it quickly became popular. Xinhua News Agency liked it 3 times and People's Daily 4 times. Hot reviews, Douban score is as high as 9.2 points. Who is the starring role of
TV series?
is a group of 6-12 year-old "Little Drama Bone", like their previous remake of "Little Drama Bone White Snake" has become famous. The
TV series mainly focuses on Grandma Liu's three entrances into the Grand View Garden, telling the story of the process of the Jia family from its prosperity to its decline. There is no doubt that
's 1987 edition of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a classic, and everyone can see the complaints about Li Shaohong's 2010 edition.
So, why does the "Little Drama Bone" version stand out? According to Chenchen, the main reason for
is that it captures the "shape" and "god" of the 1987 edition.
Where are its "shape" and "god" mainly reflected? The most critical point of
is that its role is chosen appropriately.
You need to know that Chen Xiaoxu's version of Lin Daiyu makes the audience sigh "There is no Lin Daiyu in the world", then let's take a look at the performance of Lin Daiyu, played by the 10-year-old Zhou Yangyue in the play.
Her first appearance was to show that she was leaving home and weeping from the window.
Shui Lingling's big eyes, tears come just as they say it is, completely in line with Lin Daiyu's "tear person" image.
looked up and saw her thin eyebrows, which showed the crew's exquisite makeup for the characters.
"Two bends like frowning smokey eyebrows, a pair of like happy but not happy with affection"
is the same as the original version. Many of Lin's crying and laughing close-ups completely overwhelmed the audience's inspection.
And her thin body, weak posture can be said to be the same as Chen Xiaoxu, who has a slim waist and narrow shoulders, and a weak Liu Fufeng.
After talking about Lin Daiyu, let's take a look at Xue Baochai.
The 12-year-old Zhong Yifan played Xue Baochai as soon as he appeared on stage. Chenchen just wanted to sigh "My God, this is Xue Baochai himself."
"The face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like water apricots."
is gentle and dignified, elegant and generous, performing a calmness beyond age. When
speaks, the rhythm is just right, and his line skills are quite good.
11-year-old Shi Xiaosong, who was born as a Shaolin disciple, has already appeared in some film and television dramas before.
There is some gap between the gentle and jade-like elder brother Jia Baoyu of Pianpian son and his own image. To be honest, Chenchen felt a little worried when he saw him at first.
But as the plot progressed, he dispelled the audience's doubts and gradually became better. There are a few shots that are quite charming.
When he and Daiyu first met, they stared at each other and made people smile like an old mother. In addition to "Bao Dai Chai", the role of middle-aged and elderly people in
is undoubtedly a challenge for the children, but their performance is amazing.
Wang Xifeng, who has "a pair of red phoenix triangular eyes and two curved willow leaves hanging from the tip of the eyebrows", is pungent, shrewd and vivid.
has grandma Liu who is cowering, vulgar and funny, and she is not at all ambiguous when she wrestles. The 12-year-old Tao Binglan, who plays Jia's mother as
, has a good grasp of the expression and posture of the elderly.
The little actor has dyed white eyebrows and hair without any burden. Of course, the character of
is not enough, and the scene settings of this version are quite restored.
Daiyu's burial flower, Bao and Dai read the Romance of the West Chamber together, Baochai fluttering with butterflies, Yuan concubine prosperous relatives, and Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden. The scene is very conscientious.
and conscientious scenes are accompanied by classic music, especially the ending Yue opera "Sister Lin from the Sky"As soon as it came out, I was moved to the 1987 edition.
Before the filming of the TV series started, the crew asked the young actors to train, and even invited the original Baoyu actor Ouyang Fenqiang to guide the children. It can be said that
has made a stunning appearance of a group of young actors. In addition to the actors' own acting skills, there are also the production crew's exquisite attention to details such as service, scenes, and music.
Therefore, many viewers have expressed that "they have the charm of the 87 version in every move."
Yes, this sentence tells the biggest feature of the "Xiaoxigu" version-a re-enactment of the 1987 version.
can see that the "Little Drama Bone" version is based on the 1987 version, and everything such as actors, scenes, and music is restored as much as possible to the old version.
has attracted two controversies here.
1. "Still not as good as the old version"-Attitude determines everything
In fact, since all the members of the "Little Drama Bone" version are performed by children in their early 10s, the audience has a natural closeness and tolerance towards children. Their performance astounded everyone and greatly exceeded the audience's expectations, which inevitably made people full of praise.
In all fairness, the "Xiao Xing Bone" version has captured the "shape" and "shen" of the 1987 version, but of course it cannot surpass the 1987 version.
Daiyu’s mother died young and she was always in the fence. She was lonely, arrogant and sensitive. She met Jia Baoyu, who shared the same values and outlook on love. They were connected with each other but were finally dismantled by the feudal ethics. They have the deep meaning of resistance and pursuit of freedom.
The hidden wits in the flow of discourse and the sophistication in the interpersonal relationships, how can a few years old children understand?
So, they are just imitating as much as possible, so why are they recognized by so many people?
is nothing more than two words-seriously.
Compared with many remakes, the special effects of 50 cents, the thunder rolling, the invincible transgender of the East, the love relationship between Daji and Yang Jian, the drama is "not surprising and endless."
"Little Drama Bone" version is exquisite everywhere, and strive to restore the truth.
Compared with the current dramas that can be watched frequently at 50 or 60 episodes, the "Small Opera Bone" version has 25 minutes per episode and a total of 9 episodes. It is never too greedy.
Just as director Pan Liping signed a "protection treaty" to the young actors.
"If you don't engage in child star economy, you can't promote this kind of culture. We are cultivating small opera bones, not stars. In the future, we will cultivate Qing opera bones and old opera bones."
"Small Drama Bone" version of the small actors have various shapes and spirits, as close to the original as possible.
On the other hand, the prevailing method of casting is not to see whether it is consistent, but to look at traffic and commercial value.
The fire of a drama is not without reason. The "Little Drama Bone" version illustrates the unbreakable truth that "attitude determines everything".
2. "Consumption of children is not conducive to the growth of children"-ask children whether they like
"There is a kind of cold that makes your mother think you are cold". Adults always seem to think that acting is not good for children.
Have you asked them what they gained? Are they happy?
Take Chenchen herself as an example. When she was a child, she especially liked playing "Play House" with her friends. She wrote, directed and acted, giving full play to the endless imagination of children.
And the children in the play regard acting as a summer camp, and the little actors like Daiyu are particularly conscious of actors. In an interview with reporters,
said that
"is also an acting person and has to suffer a little."
It can be said that some children are interested and talented in acting, and we cannot underestimate the super imitating ability of children.
For example, Natalie Portman in "This Killer Is Not So Cold", and the young Zhang Zhen in "Guling Street Murder".
If we prevent children from participating in the performance at the beginning, how can we see such classic works on the screen.
Instead of preventing children from contacting film and television paintings, it is better to let them experience the world more. It can be seen from
that the "Little Drama Bone" version deletes the love scenes that are not suitable for interpretation. Starting from Grandma Liu, it conveys the concept of "I can see the poor, and can afford to see the poor". Compared with the 1987 version,
is more suitable for children to watch the "Little Drama Bone" version, which is more like an introduction. It cultivates children's interest in classics and acting, and fully demonstrates the potential of Chinese young actors.
The victory of the"Xiao Xian Bone" version is a victory of tradition and classics, and the audience's aversion to the economy of fresh meat traffic. Behind the popularity of the
"Xiao Xi Gu" version is the lack of Chinese original scripts. Chenchen believes that if there is a good script suitable for children, the "Little Drama Bone" will definitely perform well.
"The bitterness of the world has been remake for a long time", I can only look at "Xiao Xinggu" to wash my eyes.
