In the past two days, director Hu Mei's new film " A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Match " has been pushed to the forefront due to widespread doubts. With the film's reputation divided, the film's box office is also unsatisfactory. Data from the Beacon Professional Edition shows that as of 14:00 on August 21, the box office was only 4.64 million yuan.
It is reported that director Hu Mei reorganized and adjusted the complex and rich content based on the original work, and told a story mainly for young people in two hours. She Said, "The theme of this movie is long live youth."
From the creation of the script in 2006 to this year, "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Beautiful Marriage" has devoted 18 years of Hu Mei's hard work. Hu Mei previously said: "A Dream of Red Mansions: The Good Marriage" begins with the flashback of Baoyu becoming a monk in a snowy day. The main plot begins with Lin Daiyu returning home for the funeral, and ends with Wang Xifeng embezzling Lin Ruhai's family property to build the Grand View Garden, and finally betraying Baodai's childhood sweetheart. The plot of love, the plot to marry Baochai, and the death of Daiyu, and finally the tragedy of love and fate, completed the tragedy of the Dream of Red Mansions."
Even before the film was released, there had been a lot of controversy about the film.
In March this year, some netizens complained about the stills of Qin Keqing lying in the water with her clothes half uncovered, which many people thought was too "frivolous" and inappropriate.
In addition, many netizens also expressed doubts about the casting and makeup of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.

Director Hu Mei seemed very calm about this. She said: "Everyone has their own Grand View Garden and Lin Daiyu in their imagination. You can continue to imagine and read Red Mansions, no problem. In this movie, we are facing the new generation audience, and the purpose is to let them finish watching the movie. Then I returned to my desk, opened "A Dream of Red Mansions", and read it again."
"A Dream of Red Mansions: A Beautiful Marriage" has continued to be controversial after its release. In the short review section of Douban, many netizens gave low scores to the film.
Some people gave it a high rating and thought it was a movie worth watching.
Some netizens said that the most outstanding thing is the lines, many of which are close to the original work, and the characters are deeply portrayed.
Some people think that the film uses the pure love between men and women that young people are more accepting of and prefers to interpret the tragedy of the times. Watching it from a modern perspective will be more sad and touching.
Some people also believe that this is the version of the actors' age that is closest to the original work. In the past film and television adaptations of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the actors were older, but this time they have managed it very well.
However, some netizens also complained passionately, thinking that the filming of the film was not satisfactory.
But more netizens bluntly said that it is not as good as the 87 version of Dream of Red Mansions. Some people say that the scenes are too fragmented, the film is shapeless and weak in intention. Some people also think that the film was made into a classic plot and has no new ideas.
In Weibo discussions, "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Marriage" is called top horror.
Lin Daiyu’s character in the film Zhang Miaoyi was also accused of having a temperament and appearance that did not fit the role of Lin Daiyu. His remarks during a road show that Lin Daiyu was “maverick and deviant” caused controversy.
. On the morning of August 19, director Hu Mei once posted a long article talking about "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Beautiful Marriage". She expressed her acceptance of the opinions, but also noticed that "someone uses AI virtual data to mass-post 1-point reviews. . There is an account that was registered a few months ago, and it seems that it is specifically for hacking or sniping this movie. So much so that there are some who make personal attacks and insults, with a sense of deep hatred and hatred, and feel that making this movie is a grave sin. Isn't this a bit strange? "Hu Mei said that she has entrusted a lawyer to deposit the certificate.

Previously, Hu Mei mentioned in an interview that she was mentally prepared for questioning. Hu Mei said: "My advantage is narrative and character creation. , using the lens to tell a good story is the result of long-term exploration. It is my pursuit to explore those themes in history that can impress modern people. "
As an encyclopedic novel about worldly affairs, "A Dream of Red Mansions" adopts a circular network narrative structure with multiple parallel lines and intertwined lines. The plot promotes criss-crossing, but is also orderly, and the whole film is more like the main creator. The team clarified the story section and the expected communication effect, and then selected the necessary plot dialogue from the text to fill it in. The author's original intention and the meaning of the original work were completely separated.
It is true that film adaptation of a classic is an "impossible task." , director Hu Mei said frankly that she found a new way to create a modern youth version of the new movie.

However, if the information received at the beginning is distorted, one-sided, and thin, is there any right? What about more levels of misdirection and ambiguity in classics?
