No matter how many remakes of "Dream of Red Mansions" have been made in the TV series version or the movie version, they can't surpass the classic of '87. This year, with the efforts of many film and television people, the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" finally met the audience and won praise and market. Although 1987's Dream of Red Mansions did not reach today's level of sophistication in terms of costumes, chemistry, Taoism and post-production, both the actors' acting skills and the craftsmanship of the main creative team have reached a height that is difficult to surpass.
It is no exaggeration to say that the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" marks a significant milestone in the history of Chinese television. It not only conquered the audience with its unique artistic charm, but also had a huge impact on the international film industry, becoming a rare and excellent film. The film's success is not only due to the excellent performances of the actors, but also to the tireless efforts of the director.
When director Wang Fulin was looking for actors who matched the roles in the original book, he did not conduct strict auditions nationwide. There is no fixed standard for the selection of actors. You can choose to be an actor or choose another career. For example, the role of Yingchun in the play is a ** operator, and before the actor who played Aunt Zhao in "Dream of Red Mansions", she was just a waiter.
This group of young people from various professional backgrounds and industries have brought "Dream of Red Mansions" to life from all directions. It is this unique casting criterion that has made the film "Dream of Red Mansions" win unprecedented praise and success.
In the process of discussing the casting of actors, the role of Wang Xifeng is actually a highly controversial focus. Because her performance is so dramatic, so engaging. In the TV series, Deng Jie played the role of Wang Xifeng, but in fact, the director did not want Deng Jie to play this role at first, because she was not the most suitable person. Because she was a very important character in "Dream of Red Mansions", but later she was abandoned by the director. Judging from her appearance, she is only one meter five and a half tall, and her complexion is dark, which is in stark contrast to Wang Xifeng.
Le Yun is regarded as the most suitable candidate, she is not only outstanding in appearance, but also quite tall, as if she was born to be Wang Xifeng's first choice. Although she is not tall, she is very beautiful, and she also has high acting skills and cultivation. However, shortly after she joined the team, she suddenly announced her withdrawal, much to the director's displeasure. Later, in an interview with **, he made it clear that some actors only have beautiful appearances, but lack cultural accomplishment, and their stomachs are full of straw bales.
What factors caused Wang Fulin to have such a strong prejudice against the actor Le Yun? All of this needs to be explained from the background of Le Yun.
Le Yun is a young woman born in Shanghai in 1967 who chose to live with her mother due to the divorce of her parents. Her father works outside the home all the year round, and only her mother is dependent on her at home. As a single mother, raising a child is a difficult task in itself, so she has high expectations for Le Yun, always hoping that her daughter can earn money as soon as possible, or find a wealthy person to give her a better life.
Le Yun did not live up to her mother's expectations, despite her young age, her beauty is amazing, no matter where she goes, she can become the center of everyone's attention. Her father is a teacher, and her mother is a teacher, she likes to sing and dance since she was a child. It is widely believed that she will definitely have a chance to make a name for herself in the future and become a big star.
When my mother heard what others described, her heart was filled with joy. She signed up for many talent courses for Leyun, such as singing, dancing and acting, and invested a lot of money in her daughter, hoping that her daughter would give her due reward as soon as possible.
Sure enough, Le Yun Le Yun's life did go according to her mother's expectations, and she also made a cameo appearance in a small supporting role in "Under the Bridge" at the age of 16. Since then, she has formed an indissoluble bond with drama. After this performance experience, she gradually developed a strong interest in acting. When she was 17 years old, she was already the heroine of the movie "Meet in the Big Car", which made her famous gradually known to the public.
Subsequently, she participated in a number of films and quickly became popular.
At that time, Wang Fulin was looking for an actor to play Wang Xifeng, and Le Yun was deeply attracted by her appearance and temperament, so he took the initiative to extend a friendly olive branch to her. In "Dream of Red Mansions", the music in Jiafu is the most charming and the most loved by the audience. In that era, Le Yun's influence was unparalleled, as she was the only actor invited by the director to participate. All other actors, whether they play big or small roles, need to recommend themselves in the form of letters, but she is the exception. If everything is expected, then Le Yun is likely to shine because of the work "Dream of Red Mansions".
However, she decided to quit shortly after joining the crew, which directly disrupted the filming process of the TV series. The reason she gave at the time was that her mother did not allow her to play the role because Wang Xifeng was a bad woman.
But is this really true? He said that he is a good man, he likes his job, he also appreciates his looks very much, he is confident in his future, and he feels that he can succeed in achieving his dreams. In fact, the reason she refused to play the role was that she fell in love with Hong Kong Xing Yeol, who was 29 years older than her. Although Luo Lie is not well-known in Hong Kong, he has a mouth that is good at words, and he praises himself as unique and unsurpassed in front of Le Yun. He solemnly promised that once he followed him, he would surely become famous and rich.
At that time, Le Yun was still very young and couldn't resist such a **, so she decided to follow Luo Lie to Hong Kong, but after arriving in Hong Kong, she found that the reality was not as Luo Lie described. She grew up in the mainland, and her parents both worked in foreign trade, so she received an educational concept that "if you want to get rich, you must learn to speak Mandarin" since she was a child. In Hong Kong, because she doesn't know Cantonese, and there are already many celebrities gathered there, he can only do some supporting roles and earn some meager living expenses.
Although Luo Lie took her to his luxurious residence, Cola Yun realized that her boyfriend actually had a family of his own. After Le Yun learned the truth of the matter, it felt like a bolt from the blue, which made her fall into despair.
In order to reshape his public image, Luo Lie is even willing to clearly demarcate the line with her. When she was with her husband, she had always been unhappy, and she considered herself happy. It didn't take long for Le Yun's life to hit a low ebb. If she had decided to return to the mainland and start a new life, she would definitely have a chance to make a name for herself again. But unfortunately, after going through a series of challenges, she felt that she did not have the courage to return to the mainland, so she chose to continue living in Hong Kong, and even brought her mother to Hong Kong.
When her mother arrived in Hong Kong, she found that her daughter's financial situation was not ideal, on the contrary, she was living in very poverty, and in order to make ends meet, she even chose to shoot Fengyue films. As the mother's health deteriorated, she began to wonder if there was something wrong with her child, so she went to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctor told her that it was caused by anemia and advised her to eat more foods rich in iron, zinc and selenium. This made her mother feel extremely disappointed in her and often beat her for no reason.
The other girls come to Hong Kong to marry big entrepreneurs, but you are the only one who embarrasses me so much."
Le Yun's previous life experiences did not make her lose hope for the future, but the continuous oppression of her family became the last straw in her life. One day in 1995, she jumped from the 13th floor and ended her life journey at the age of 28.
Le Yun's life is full of emotion, but also deeply regrettable. She is a very lucky woman who, after going through countless tribulations, finally got her own love. She used to have a good card in her hand, but due to her own ignorance and inappropriate experience, she broke the card.
Although Wang Fulin once made it clear that she is just an uneducated novice, the deep meaning of this sentence is not the deep hatred for iron into steel? But all her life she has struggled and struggled for culture. If she could have shown more wisdom and a broader perspective, her current fate would not be like this.
