The movie " A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Match " directed by Hu Mei has been criticized continuously since a wave of stills were released last year. After the trailer was released, many netizens saw it and expressed disappointment with the casting. In particular, Qin Keqing's appearance in the trailer was criticized by many netizens for looking like a brothel girl, without the temperament and style of an aristocratic woman at all.
However, despite the opposition, "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Beautiful Marriage" will still be released.
The film was first officially announced to be released on July 26. Later, perhaps considering that it was unable to compete with other summer movies, the release date was postponed to August 16.
To be honest, after watching the trailer of Hu Mei’s version of the movie Dream of Red Mansions, I quite like the scenery of the Grand View Garden in it, but good scenery alone is not enough, you must have good actors and a good story. The movie has not been released yet, so I don’t know how the story will be presented, but The casting was obviously not good.
Baoyu looks like a little ruffian and a slutty young master, Lin Daiyu is not an independent tearful beauty but a frowning and angry spirit, Xue Baochai looks like a fool, Jia Yuanchun has a small head and small face and is not generous at all, Wang Xifeng is questioned by netizens as having a plastic surgery face, original work The 70-year-old Mrs. Jia was actually played by the 91-year-old Chinese-American actress Lu Yan.
In short, many netizens are not looking forward to this "A Dream of Red Mansions" and expressed their disappointment in advance. But some netizens said they might as well wait and see.
Now, Hu Mei's movie version of Red Mansions has not yet been officially released, and there is news that Zheng Xiaolong will make a drama version of " Dream of Red Mansions ".
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" directed by Zheng Xiaolong has become an eternal palace drama and costume drama classic.
Actually, I am quite looking forward to seeing Zheng Xiaolong directing a version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
As long as the actors can be carefully selected like the roles in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", regardless of traffic flow, and only the most suitable actors in all aspects are selected based on the roles themselves, coupled with Zheng Xiaolong's skill in directing costume dramas, the same is true for the original "Dream of Red Mansions" Great, the story is so touching, I believe it will be a very good-looking version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
I didn’t expect that Zheng Xiaolong would actually film it!
The moment I saw this news, I was quite excited!
But when I saw that Zheng Xiaolong’s chosen screenwriting partner was Liu Lianzi, I felt a chill in my heart.
When it comes to Liu Lianzi, everyone must know that she is the original author of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", she is also one of the screenwriters of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and she has also been the screenwriter of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".
Liu Lianzi’s "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became popular partly because it caught up with the good times when "big heroines" were just emerging, and partly because of the drama version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" adapted and directed by Zheng Xiaolong and his wife Wang Xiaoping.
Of course, we cannot completely deny Liu Lianzi's literary talent, but people who have read the novel "The Legend of Zhen Huan" generally think that the novel version is long-winded and far less beautiful than the drama version.
And people who write novels may not be suitable to be screenwriters. Another work "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", in which Liu Lianzi is the screenwriter, has been criticized by many netizens for its lines and three views.
Under such circumstances, for some reason, director Zheng Xiaolong chose Liu Lianzi and asked her to serve as the screenwriter for the new version of "A Dream of Red Mansions"?
And according to the media’s exclusive interview with Liu Lianzi, Liu Lianzi will not only serve as the screenwriter of "Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Zheng Xiaolong, but also the only screenwriter!
Liu Lianzi said that it has always been her dream to adapt "A Dream of Red Mansions". She felt that the director chose her to be the screenwriter because she thought that as a Chinese teacher (Liu Lianzi teaches in a key middle school in Hangzhou), she is good at teaching "Xiang Ling" I performed well in this class "Study Poetry".
Liu Lianzi said that she will complete the creation of the script independently to maintain the continuity of the story. She hopes to be faithful to the original work and bring a new perspective and experience to the audience.
But when netizens saw the news that Liu Lianzi was appointed as the screenwriter for the drama version of Red Mansion, and was the only independent screenwriter, they immediately became uneasy.
Netizens’ opinions were surprisingly unanimous. Most supported Zheng Xiaolong’s remake, because after all, he had the talent of “The Legend of Zhen Huan” in front of him. However, they all unanimously opposed Liu Lianzi’s role as screenwriter, believing that she would ruin “A Dream of Red Mansions”.
Some netizens said that Zheng Xiaolong was trying to destroy his own brand. Why did he cooperate with a "plagiarist" and also start with the classic Dream of Red Mansions.
Some netizens also said that the appearance of Liu Lianzi’s name and Dream of Red Mansions in this topic is the biggest black joke.
Others say, Zheng Xiaolong, if you want to make a Dream of Red Mansions, you can do it, but there is really no need to find Liu Lianzi as a screenwriter. Don’t you know what her level is? If you don’t know, just ask Wang Jun. (Wang Jun is the director of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace")
Some people are opposed to Zheng Xiaolong's adaptation and remake of "A Dream of Red Mansions", saying that Li Shaohong was also a famous director before filming Dream of Red Mansions. They hope that Zheng Xiaolong will take this as a warning and not risk his life later.
When Liu Lianzi was writing "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in Jinjiang, there was a "plagiarism" incident. Jinjiang specially organized a team to compare the palettes reported by netizens for Liu Lianzi's plagiarism, and finally confirmed that Liu Lianzi's "Harem· There is indeed plagiarism in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", including "Spring Lust in the Lonely Empty Courtyard" by Bai Wo Sicun and " Mrs. Huzhu " by Xiao Ruse.
Jinjiang dealt with Liu Lianzi and asked her to delete the plagiarized parts and apologize to the person who was plagiarized.
Liu Lianzi believes that the part she plagiarized is only a very small part compared to her entire novel. She can modify it, but does not admit that she is a plagiarist.
When I write this, I think of the suspense drama " misplaced " that just concluded recently. Tong Dawei 's character Gu Jiming plagiarized 6 pages of the manuscript of the famous writer Tang Xun. He also thought that he only plagiarized 6 pages and was Those who are judged to be plagiarists are "unjustly accused".
Liu Lianzi left Jinjiang and continued to write "The Legend of Zhen Huan" on her blog. It was adapted into a TV series by Zheng Xiaolong and became a hit.
However, suspicions and controversies about plagiarism have been accompanying Liu Lianzi in recent years.
Not long after Liu Lianzi started writing, she probably didn’t realize that she would become famous. She didn’t expect that her work would cause so much attention and controversy. But since the platform has identified it as plagiarism, she should have the courage to admit it, apologize, and take responsibility. She should take responsibility, and the consequences may be better than her refusing to admit it and letting everyone question her all the time.
Over the years, no one has mentioned these old events anymore, but now, Zheng Xiaolong is going to film "Dream of Red Mansions", and has partnered with Liu Lianzi, making her the sole independent screenwriter. Liu Lianzi's past plagiarism has been revealed by netizens again .
Even if Liu Lianzi’s past plagiarism is not mentioned, most netizens are very worried about whether Liu Lianzi has the ability to adapt such a masterpiece as "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Liu Lianzi has written "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" since "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became a hit, and she has not had any influential works since then. Can she take on the important task of adapting Dream of Red Mansions?
This is what all netizens are worried about.
If the adaptation is not good, the audience would rather watch the nostalgic 87 version.
In addition to hoping to be replaced by a more capable and talented screenwriter, I also hope that Zheng Xiaolong will not be kidnapped by traffic and capital when filming "Dream of Red Mansions", but to choose actors who are truly suitable for the role, choose actors with aura, and make a truly good-looking version. "Dream of Red Mansions".
If Zheng Xiaolong can produce a version of "Dream of Red Mansions" that is as classic as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and that everyone is talking about, then it will be a great achievement for the audience who loves Dream of Red Mansions.
I don’t know what you think about Zheng Xiaolong’s new version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions"?
Do you hope that Zheng Xiaolong will film a new version of Dream of Red Mansions, with Liu Lianzi as the sole screenwriter?
