This year’s summer season is finally getting busy.
Wang Junkai, who has always held the title of traffic leader, will use "Wild Child" to prove his film-making ability and acting skills.
"Wild Child" tells the archetypal story of the wandering brothers, which is healing, heartwarming, and full of positive energy.
and Huang Xuan, after challenging the image of the villain, portrayed the image of a comedian in " Laifu Hotel ". This time, he was partnered with the sexy goddess Liu Yan.
Although the lineup is not that strong, Huang Xuan's subversion in appearance is still very amazing, and Liu Yan will play the fierce hotel proprietress in the film, which is also very exciting.
" Welcome to My Side " starring Yu Shi, just watching the trailer makes people laugh so much that they can't stop laughing. The first time I heard that there was a yellow color, the people in front of me turned into big yellow ducks and quacked. Damn it, this setting is really crazy.
The one that is most likely to win the box office championship is the " Successor Plan " launched by the Happy Twist Team. Shen Teng and Ma Li are the perfect combination.
However, with more new films officially announcing their release dates, the competition for summer releases has become increasingly fierce. The film version of " A Dream of Red Mansions " directed by Hu Mei has been announced to be released on July 26.
This movie has luxurious scenes and a strong cast. The trailer alone caught my attention. There is really no reason not to watch it!
1. Regarding the controversy
All remakes of classic works have one thing in common. Before the broadcast, the casting will always be questioned.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers. Everyone imagines a different character. It is not easy to choose an actor who meets the expectations of all readers.
In addition, there is a classic version of 87's "Dream of Red Mansions" in the forefront. The remake is also presented in the form of a film version, so it is inevitable that it will be controversial.
For example, just for the three roles of Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng, the 1987 version of Ouyang Fenqiang and Chen Xiaoxu can meet everyone's expectations. And Deng Jie, who plays Wang Xifeng, although she is slightly lacking in appearance, her acting skills make up for everything. Short board.
This also gave the audience a preconceived impression, so that when they saw the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" choosing Bian Cheng and Zhang Miaoyi to play Baoyu and Daiyu, and Lin Peng to play Wang Xifeng, their first feeling was that something was wrong.
Baoyu in the trailer looks too silly, while Daiyu is round and round. She looks like she is well-fed and not squeamish.
Wang Xifeng, who puts her thoughts on her face, and Jia Mu, who is too shrewd, seem to be far from the characters in everyone's impression.
Even Jia Yuanchun, played by the popular Guan Xiaotong, is more like a princess than a beloved concubine, and Grandma Liu, played by Ding Jiali, also lacks the sense of simplicity and wisdom.
Therefore, for the audience, no matter which character is expected, it is not even the slightest bit worse than the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
But many classic film and television works have had similar controversies before, which is almost inevitable.
However, the actors selected for the film version of "Dream of Red Mansions" are not entirely blameless.
At least actors like Ding Jiali, Zhang Guangbei, Lu Yan, Yang Tongshu, etc. are all recognized as drama stars, and the lineup is impressive.
In terms of age, the young actors also fit the characters depicted in the original work infinitely.
Bian Cheng, who plays Jia Baoyu, is only 14 years old, Zhang Miaoyi, who plays Lin Daiyu, is 19 years old, and Huang Jiarong, who plays Xue Baochai, is 17 years old.
At a time when casting in domestic films, TV series, and movies is generally aging, it is very difficult to find actors who meet the age setting of the characters.
After all, his young age also means that he lacks acting experience. If he directly plays the leading role in the film, it is likely to affect the quality of the drama.
But as the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" released a comparison of the actors' states before and after training, most of the controversy has been eliminated, because the actors' acting skills have changed significantly.
For example, Zhang Miaoyi, who played Lin Daiyu, was completely incapable of acting when she first appeared in the role. She raised her eyebrows and glared at every turn, and she looked mean and mean, without any flavor of Lin Daiyu at all.
Along with constant practice and studying in private, when she finally reported the performance after graduation, Zhang Miaoyi directly changed her acting habits and got into the character. The moment the tears fell, people were immediately drawn into the plot of Daiyu burying flowers.
Director Hu Mei originally selected these actors from thousands of people. He selected less than 100 from more than 20,000 people, and then selected the final actors from these 100 people.
Actors such as Zhang Miaoyi, Bian Cheng, and Huang Jiarong were all screened and selected from the best. Moreover, none of them are popular celebrities. They were even amateur actors when they starred in this movie.
This is enough to prove that when director Hu Mei chooses roles, he does not consider their popularity as celebrities at all, but their suitability for the characters.
Although the early trailers are not satisfactory, what is certain is that the level of director Hu Mei is there. After all, he is the director who has produced " Yongzheng Dynasty ", "Han Wu Emperor", and "Qiao Family Courtyard". It is impossible Use top IP like "Dream of Red Mansions" to destroy your own brand.
2. About the production
Since most viewers focused on the casting of this movie, they ignored the Jiangnan garden landscape and the meticulous restoration of the Grand View Garden presented in the film, which are extremely stunning.
Fuhua Road was not designed to be too complicated and exaggerated for the sake of being colorful, and it fit the description in the original work. When building the Grand View Garden, a considerable amount of manpower and material resources were spent.
From the details to the ornaments on the table and the patterns on the screens, they are full of Chinese charm. Every piece of furniture is antique and looks very noble.
Putting so much effort into just a movie just confirms Hu Mei's determination to make this movie well.
As early as 2005, she had already started working on the script of "A Dream of Red Mansions". It took 10 years to revise the script before it was approved in 2015. Then casting began and nearly a year of training took place.
Other films may only take half a year from preparation to meeting the audience, and a lot of manpower and material resources will be devoted to film promotion. But this " Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Match " obviously spent all the money wisely, aiming to present exquisite picture texture.
Maybe the subject matter of this movie will not create another box office miracle, but it is not a problem to win more than 1 billion. The reputation and strength of director Hu Mei are there, and the performance of the actors is not bad either. Next, it is easier to surprise us.
Whether the film version of "Dream of Red Mansions" will be successful depends on July 26. Are you optimistic about Hu Mei's new film?
