Recently, the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Match" has suffered from both box office and word-of-mouth failure. This film, which director Hu Mei has devoted 18 years of hard work to, has received dismal box office and negative reviews since its release. There have been hot discussions such as "a magical adaptation of the original work", "broken plot", and "crude scenes". Among them, the most criticized one is the soul character. Comments such as "Lin Daiyu" and "One Dai is not as good as one Dai" express the audience's disappointment in the movie.

"A Dream of Red Mansions: The Golden Marriage" is directed by Hu Mei, who has directed " Yongzheng Dynasty " and "Qiao Family Courtyard". It takes the love between Bao Dai and Chai as the main line, and makes a bold interpretation of the concept: the novel is hidden in the story. The scandalous Jia family's misappropriation of Lin Daiyu's property was elevated to the level of dominating the love tragedy of Bao, Chai and Dai, telling a more intense story of "conspiracy and love". Many famous scenes such as Jia Baoyu's mind wandering to Taixu, Grandma Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden, Princess Yuan's marriage visit, Daiyu's funeral, Daiyu's burning of manuscripts and the end of love are presented in the film.

In the 10 days since its release, "A Dream of Red Mansions" with a total investment of 200 million, has only achieved a box office of 5.25 million. Maoyan Professional Edition predicts a total box office of only 5.662 million. Most of the reviews are one-star negative reviews. The box office has failed miserably. It’s a foregone conclusion. After the movie

was released, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet. Some viewers believe that "A Dream of Red Mansions" has seriously deviated from the original work in terms of character portrayal, plot arrangement, line design and other aspects. The adaptation is hasty, lacks respect and understanding of the original work, and even distorts the ideological essence of the original work. The film's confusing logic and crude scenes were also widely criticized by film critics.

The casting of the movie was rated as a "disaster scene" by netizens, especially the role of Lin Daiyu played by Zhang Miaoyi. Both in terms of appearance and temperament, the audience believed that it was the same as the sentimental, knowledgeable and courteous character in the original work. The sick beauties are very different. ""A Dream of Red Mansions " has had many film and television adaptations. Many actors have played the role of Lin Daiyu. The most unforgettable one is Chen Xiaoxu's version of Lin Daiyu, which is recognized as an unsurpassed classic. Zhang Miaoyi's version of Lin Daiyu is simply 'spicy' Eyes', in contrast, the Jiang Mengjie version of Lin Daiyu, who has been severely criticized, is made fresh and refined," commented netizens.

Faced with overwhelming negative reviews, Hu Mei posted a long post on the 19th in response: "No matter how box office it is, this work is the one I have put the most effort into in my life. Some people like it, and some people criticize it. This is a very normal phenomenon. All I will listen carefully to your opinions." Hu Mei also said: "Some viewers asked me: Are you worried about causing controversy when remaking "Dream of Red Mansions"? I think it is a good thing to cause controversy. Since there are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand readers, the same is true. Thousands of people will have different interpretations of "A Dream of Red Mansions". It doesn't matter if I have regrets about this version of the film "A Dream of Red Mansions" directed by me. I hope it can inspire others and there will be more and better works related to "A Dream of Red Mansions" in the future. , allowing audiences and readers to feel the charm of Chinese culture. "

" Classics will always be adapted and remade, but adaptations and remakes must respect the classics, conform to the laws of art, and fit the aesthetics of the times. It is undeniable that "Dream of Red Mansions" is of great importance. It is extremely difficult to adapt such a national IP that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people into film and television. The courage to choose such a difficult work itself is worthy of encouragement. However, if the characters and stories of "A Dream of Red Mansions" are ignored in the aesthetic deposits deep in the souls of contemporary people, then it will be very difficult. It is inevitable to have the regret of "one Dai is not as good as another". Experts from the Henan Film and Television Association said that even if the final presentation of the adaptation of a classic is not so satisfactory, it still has value and will be useful for the next production of the same theme.
