Recently, the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Hu Mei was released. Zhang Miaoyi, who plays Lin Daiyu, was accused of being "ugly" and "superficial".
In response to this, @张朼伊 posted a response on August 20. The full text is as follows:
The movie has been released to everyone, and I have received various criticisms for my role as "Daiyu".
Although I have been mentally prepared for it, these few days have been difficult.
has mixed feelings. Everyone will feel sad when they are scolded, but no one who wants to live a good life has no sense of shame. But ask yourself, if you go back seven years, would you still take this role? I can't deceive myself. I'll definitely pick it up.
If you are ignorant, you will be fearless. For a newcomer to the industry, would you not be tempted when encountering "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Lin Daiyu"? That must be me lying.
At that time, if I were asked to play Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West", I would go.
Because of ignorance, I survived the audition PK of thousands of people. At that time, there were only surprises and accidents; during the 8-month preparation and training period, various courses made me feel more fulfilled; during the 100-day shooting process, I followed the director I appreciate and cherish the experience of working with all the main creators.
Due to ignorance, although I have read the original work and am familiar with the script, the core of the movie is the characters. As for the real character "Lin Daiyu", I admit that I can't match Xiaoxu's teacher Zhuyu.
It doesn’t matter if you call me ugly, your appearance is something you are born with and cannot be changed. That's who I was then.
It doesn't matter if you call me superficial. Only by experiencing life can you grow. The tempering of life will make me grow.
In the past seven years, after I have played more roles, I know what my problem is. I also believe that I am getting better, and I will work hard to do better.
Here, I think the person I feel most sorry for is Director Hu Mei. Director Hu Mei put the most effort into this movie. Everyone knows that the movie "Dream of Red Mansions" is difficult to make, but the director still insisted on making it.
In seven years, there are not many seven years in life. The director devoted his life to the film and television of Chinese history, such as "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty", "Qiao Family Courtyard", "Confucius"... …She deserves more respect.
I think that "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Beautiful Marriage" has caused huge controversy and attracted huge attention. If more people buy the original book to read it and look for old classics, this will be a great contribution to Chinese classical masterpieces. Its popularity is also a good thing.
I will always remember the role of "Lin Daiyu" and will always push myself.
