Recently, director Hu Mei's new work " A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Marriage" was released. Zhang Miaoyi, who plays Lin Daiyu, said when talking about her understanding of the character: "She has a kind of courage and wants to challenge tradition. She is more deviant and idiosyncratic. Walking alone, this is what I particularly admire about her. "

The word "deviant" stung the nerves of some netizens, aroused some dissatisfaction, and triggered a number of comments that she did not understand the role well. I also don’t match Lin Daiyu’s image and temperament, and there is even a joke on the Internet that “one Dai is not as good as one”.

In response to this, Zhang Miaoyi responded, "Because of ignorance, although I have read the original work and read the script familiarly, the core of the movie is the characters. As for the real character Lin Daiyu, I admit that I can't match the teacher Xiaoxu Zhuyu." "Call me ugly, call me shallow, it doesn't matter"... It should be said that the response was frank and the language was modest. Netizens should treat a young actor rationally instead of looking at it from all angles.

In fact, this movie has been controversial since its release. A single still photo attracted some people to accuse the film of being "edgy"; the director denounced the "bad reviews", triggering some backlash; the director repeatedly posted stills of the starring role, and also suffered some ridicule. After the

movie is released, if the director and film crew personally go out and compete with netizens, the situation may not be good. The more directors and film producers argue with reason, the easier it is to inspire rebellious psychology, and the corresponding firepower will shift from the work itself to the director, starring and other creators.

Nowadays, Hu Mei, who has filmed classic dramas such as " Yongzheng Dynasty " and "Qiao Family Courtyard", may have shed "a handful of bitter tears." But the reality is so cruel, not all efforts can be praised. Sometimes, not only do you not receive good reviews, but you may also become a "bad joke" in other people's mouth.

If actors want to play good roles and directors want to make good movies, they must work hard. According to reports, it took 18 years for "A Dream of Red Mansions" to come out. The team spent a long time polishing the script and hired professional teachers to train the actors. Nowadays, judging from various criticisms, the effect may not be ideal, especially when someone compares Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Miaoyi's interpretation and interpretation of Lin Daiyu, the gap does exist.

When talking about this movie, Hu Mei said that Zhang Miaoyi was originally a little girl who loved to laugh, but she kept crying after joining the crew because she did not dare to laugh, for fear that if she did, she would not have the right relationship with the character Lin Daiyu. It may be to show that the actors care about the role, but such words have been criticized by some people, thinking that the director who has been working on this for more than ten years seems to have failed to grasp the charm of " A Dream of Red Mansions " and has a deep understanding of Daiyu and the work. The understanding is not deep enough.

Frankly speaking, remakes of classics are a big problem, and daring to challenge them is worthy of recognition. But now that I’ve filmed it, I should face the market’s feedback and online comments calmly. I don’t have to stubbornly argue, force other people’s evaluations, or try to influence other people’s aesthetics. Roland Barthes has long said that at the moment the work is completed, "the author is dead." A good author should be confident, believing that his works will take root and bear fruit, and that the audience can take countless forked paths and reach their own gardens.

This certainly does not mean that directors and actors do not have the right to interpret the work, but should make it clear what the intention of the shooting is, what it wants to express, and how the film is presented, instead of being entangled in topics such as the beauty and ugliness of actors. superior. There is no standard answer.

Movies are art for the public, not private collections. jumps out to see that the controversy caused by "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Beautiful Marriage" may have exposed some common problems in the current industry from the side, such as the difficulty in facing negative online reviews. Although one side expresses acceptance of opinions, the other side resists them in action. For example, the publicity seems impetuous. It is said that the film took a long time and all parties have put in hard work. However, judging from road shows or interviews, it seems to focus more on gimmicks and one-sided interpretation.Perhaps the content of the interview that sparked heated discussions and spread was just a fragment, a few words picked out from the sheets, but why these few words were left out of the circle after saying so much is something that the creators should explore.

In addition, there is attitude. The Internet is a platform for communication. If the creator of chooses to confront netizens and cut off the possibility of business exchanges, it will eventually lead to continuous "online mutual hostility", which will be of little benefit to the promotion and progress of the work.
