"Dream of Red Mansions" 87 version starring: Some people get rich, some people die of drinking, Baoyu is the most unlucky.
If you want to evaluate the pinnacle of "Dream of Red Mansions" film and television works, the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" must be among the best, which is likely to become a classic film and television work that has no one before and no one after it, and every actor is impeccable, as if he came out of the original book directly.
Years later, the actors who gathered together back then have gone to their respective lives, and their stories seem to be difficult to connect, but there are still harrowing moments that remain in the hearts of the audience.
Chen Xiaoxu, a leading figure in the advertising industry, recalls her initial creative journey and found that the birth of "Dream of Red Mansions" was not all smooth sailing. At the end of April 1987, Deng Liqun, a member of the Central Advisory Committee, met with the main creative team of the crew, and a few days later, this classic film and television drama was broadcast on the first set.
At a time when television penetration was still low, the birth of "Dream of Red Mansions" was a success in itself. However, after the program was broadcast, the Dream of Red Mansions Society, Chinese and Foreign Television and other magazines brought together 38 representatives for a four-day academic seminar, and generally criticized "Daiyu".
At that time, it was generally believed that "Lin Daiyu" was a character that Cao Xueqin painstakingly depicted, but Daiyu played by Chen Xiaoxu was centered on "jealousy", which was easy to arouse people's disgust.
According to the audience's feedback, Chen Xiaoxu's performance was a success. She earned the role through self-recommendation and successfully portrayed Lin Daiyu's inner world vividly, making people feel deep sympathy and grief.
In the year she became famous, Chen Xiaoxu was only 21 years old, but her tenacity and unique temperament made her unique in the entertainment industry. She once said: "I don't think I can play Lin Daiyu because I am beautiful, but because I am very similar to Lin Daiyu's personality and temperament."
Therefore, no matter what role she plays, people will think that it is "Lin Daiyu" doing something else. She has shaped Lin Daiyu into a personal brand, which is her biggest success on the screen.
However, starting too high a starting point may limit her options, and at that time, she couldn't rely on a drama to make a living. As a result, Chen Xiaoxu, who was full of resilience, began to look for a new way out.
Chen Xiaoxu to"Xiaobai"Identity into entrepreneurship, after a lot of hard work"Lin Daiyu"Deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, she ushered in the rising period of her career. The company of important customers such as Wuliangye has enabled her company to move forward steadily.
After 9 years of development, Chen Xiaoxu's Shibang has become a large company including culture, advertising and commerce, and its worth has exceeded 100 million yuan. However, when she had everything, she felt meaningless.
from"Lin Daiyu"In the beginning, her life was always erratic, and every choice seemed to be considered for a long time, but none of them were what she hoped for the most.
Chen Xiaoxu's success stems from "Lin Daiyu" and Shibang, she has everything that the world envies, however, she chose an unusual path at the peak of her life - to seek Buddhism.
In 1999, the revelation of the Sutra of Amitayus allowed her to see another possible world, so she worshipped the teacher and began her spiritual journey, from the Sutra of Amitayus to the Sutra of Jizo, she comprehended the true meaning of life, began to devote herself to public welfare, and her life goal became clear: to truly understand life in her lifetime.
After "Lin Daiyu", Chen Xiaoxu's every step is amazing, she not only won hundreds of millions of wealth, but also bravely chose to start from scratch.
Perhaps, it is difficult for the outside world to understand Chen Xiaoxu's inner world, and even she herself is elusive. Looking at her young face, she felt that her spiritual age had surpassed a hundred years old.
In 2007, Chen Xiaoxu held a grand shaving ceremony and completely left the world"Lin Daiyu"It became"Wonderful"。At this time, people realized that her body had collapsed, only more than seventy pounds, and all this was caused by breast cancer.
Her family urged her to follow her doctor's advice, but her heart turned to a closed ashram in Shenzhen. In desperation, the family invited doctors in Beijing, but Chen Xiaoxu still refused to meet and allowed his illness to continue to worsen.
On May 13, Chen Xiaoxu passed away at the age of 42. According to her aunt Wang Yuanfeng, Chen Xiaoxu once went to the hospital for examination due to discomfort in her right chest, but because of her stubborn personality, she never ignored it.
Chen Xiaoxu's family was by her side in the last moments of her life, and although she cherished life, she was reluctant to say more.
It is reported that a breast expert in Nanjing once revealed that Chen Xiaoxu knew that he had advanced breast cancer a month before he became a monk, and the cancer cells had spread to the whole body and were difficult to control.
The doctor tactfully told her the truth, but she chose to leave in disgrace. Some speculate that Chen Xiaoxu believes in Buddhism, and she wants to have a complete body and is unwilling to undergo excision.
Chen Xiaoxu has experienced the flavors of life, and her story is even more emotional.
At a seminar in 1987, Chen Xiaoxu's interpretation of Lin Daiyu received more criticism, but experts focused more on Ouyang Fenqiang, who played Jia Baoyu.
Everyone agreed that the agility exuded by Ouyang Fenqiang was consistent with Jia Baoyu in the original work, and he retained his innocence in his interaction with "Daiyu", which is very rare.
And Jia Baoyu's cuteness is the "key" to reveal the deep thoughts of the characters.
Like Chen Xiaoxu, Ouyang Fenqiang was also a representative of Mao Sui's self-recommendation. At that time, he came from Sichuan, and the director promised to reimburse the air ticket, so Ouyang Fenqiang, who had never been on a plane, resolutely embarked on the road of acting.
However, what many people may not know is that Ouyang Fenqiang has put in a lot of hard work to realize his dream. The young Ouyang Fenqiang has a baby face, which makes photographers and makeup artists suspicious.
They think that Ouyang Fenqiang's overall feeling is fine, but the cheeks are a little shorter, and the chin is shorter, so it may not be photogenic enough. From the perspective of shooting, it has become relatively difficult to find the right picture.
During the filming, the medical conditions in the country were not ideal, let alone plastic surgery. However, the crew learned that there was a surgery that could change the shape of the face by injecting silicone into the chin, which was a "perfect" solution to this problem.
None of the others knew the specifics of silicone, and Ouyang Fenqiang didn't know enough about them, but after careful consideration, he decided to pay for this role. He didn't tell his family, but went to the designated hospital accompanied by a makeup artist.
The doctor told him, "This surgery has very little risk, so you can rest assured." ”
Looking at the thick needle in the doctor's hand, Ouyang Fenqiang felt suffocated in his heart. All he could remember was that the doctor stuck a needle into his jaw and then pinched it so hard that it took shape.
The whole process was very painful, but he survived it with strong willpower. After the performance of "Dream of Red Mansions", Ouyang Fenqiang succeeded, but the negative effects of silicone injections always stayed with him.
At first, his jaw was just a hot pain, and then he couldn't even speak out loud. Chen Xiaoxu didn't know the pain that Ouyang Fenqiang endured, and he joked with him because of this incident.
The body became more and more uncomfortable, and Ouyang Fenqiang decided to try to remove the silicone. He went to the hospital, and the doctors helped him with his research, but the results were disappointing. Because of the time, the silicone has become one with the chin, and the only way to remove the silicone is to break the chin and re-stitch it back.
This plan did not seem to be feasible, and Ouyang Fenqiang once learned a lesson from a failure and decisively rejected it. He has now learned to accept a foreign object on his chin, but he has a wife who loves him, and his family hides a sad past.
In an interview with Shenzhen Satellite TV, Ouyang Fenqiang told this incident with tears, and his wife beside him couldn't cry anymore. It turned out that at 4 o'clock in the morning when Ouyang Fenqiang was 29 years old, his wife suddenly said that the amniotic water broke, and he immediately sent her to the hospital, and the child was also born prematurely.
However, before the filming was finished, the child passed away in the hands of Ouyang Fenqiang.
The family, who had been hit hard, recalls the scene on the show with uncontrollable emotion: "We walked into the children's hospital as a family of three and were discharged with just me and her.
It wasn't until 1996 that they ushered in a new life, and the birth of their daughter Ouyang Wenxin allowed the family to come out of the haze of the past and reform a family of three.
Fortunately, her daughter's growth process is quite smooth, she participated in "Back to Lhasa" and "My Future Is Not a Dream" under the careful cultivation of her parents, and was well received by the audience, it seems that she will be able to take charge of herself in the future.
Today, Ouyang Fenqiang is still active in the entertainment industry, but his reputation is far less than before. In December 2021, his participation in "Half a Round of Bright Moon Climbing" was finally finalized;In 2023, the second season of "Wenjing Jiangnan" in which he participated will be officially broadcast.
In addition, Ouyang Fenqiang, who is at this age, also spends more time with his family and doesn't want to be bothered by disputes in the outside world anymore.
Ma Guangru's wonderful performance in "Dream of Red Mansions" made him stand out in the entertainment industry. In addition to well-known actors such as Ouyang Fenqiang and Chen Xiaoxu, Ma Guangru has gradually become loved by the audience, especially when he plays Jia Rui in the play, he is even more impressive.
In the four years since the broadcast of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", Ma Guangru's career has reached its peak. His schedule is full, and he took over the filming tasks of many classic works such as "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Liao Zhai" in one go.
However, the success of his career did not let Ma Guangru get rid of his inner troubles. In 1988, while filming "Tang Xianzu and the Peony Pavilion", he fell in love with a girl from Nanchang.
In order to pursue this girl, Ma Guangru often shows his fragile heart. This successful actor, his inner fragility, may also stem from his experience and perception in the role.
Ma Guangru is a person who is difficult to extricate himself from once he enters the play, he has been obsessed with Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions" since he was a child, so he went to Beijing to play this role. However, he missed out on this role because of Ouyang Fenqiang's preemption.
Despite this, Chen Xiaoxu's encouragement allowed him to regain his self-confidence and shape the role of "Jia Rui". Although he played Jia Rui, he always had Jia Baoyu in his heart and loved "Lin Daiyu", which made Chen Xiaoxu feel a little confused at that time.
However, for the smooth progress of the TV series, she could only barely use "shock" to hide her emotions.
This experience caused deep pain to Ma Guangru. Maybe Chen Xiaoxu knows that he doesn't love her, but Lin Daiyu, but he just happens to interpret Lin Daiyu to the fullest.
However, before "Dream of Red Mansions" was completed, his father left him, and the combination of these two events made his heart no longer peaceful. Although he later fell in love with a girl in Nanchang, due to the previous pain, he often drank heavily, and the girl could only silently watch him throw the wine bottle, his alcohol addiction was already uncontrollable, no matter how persuaded by his friends, it had no effect.
In order to satisfy his addiction to alcohol, he even reached the point where he didn't think about tea and dinner, and the alcohol gradually eroded his originally strong body, and finally only a thin body of more than 100 catties remained.
He entered the marriage hall with her, but she could not untie the knot in his heart. Following the star, she did not enjoy a day of happiness. Eventually, Ma Guangru suffered from a high fever caused by alcoholism, and although many of the actors from "Dream of Red Mansions" came to visit him in the hospital, he no longer recognized them.
Everyone felt extremely lost, but at the same time helpless. In 1995, Ma Guangru passed away at the age of 32. At the end of his life, he still owed $40 to a tavern.
Some people say that Ma Guangru seems to be a natural talent for playing roles, but this has just become a major problem in his life, and it is difficult for him to deal with complex interpersonal interactions in daily life, whether he likes or dislikes, he will show it on his face unabashedly.
However, he was deeply immersed in the world of "Dream of Red Mansions" and could not extricate himself. What he left behind people was more endless regret, but everything was irreparable.
The story of the Red Chamber has become a thing of the past, the old people are gradually leaving us, the 87 version of the Red Mansion, deducing love and hatred, and the actors are getting old. But what remains unchanged is that this classic has always been remembered and never forgotten.
The reason why we have repeatedly mentioned it is only because its interpretation is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Lin Daiyu's grievances, Jia Baoyu's warmth, Wang Xifeng's pungency, every role is so profound.
Ouyang Fenqiang once injected silicone into his chin, which sparked heated discussions.
