Maybe we need a movie about "Dream of Red Mansions", but we lack a suitable director!
Recently, friends often ask Hu Mei if she wants to remake the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions". The author will always patiently answer: yes, she will remake it again, but the "remake of the TV series" is already ten years ago. This time she directed the film version of "Dream of Red Mansions". Recreating a masterpiece is a thankless task, especially one like Dream of the Red Chamber. However, I didn't expect Hu Mei to be so obsessed with "Dream of Red Mansions", and now she has picked up this "hot potato".
Now, less than a decade has passed since the last version aired. Director Hu Mei, who has collaborated on the remake of "Dream of Red Mansions", also wants to try again. She still has no intention of using adult actors this time, but continues to recruit amateur actors between the ages of 14 and 26 around the world, which is almost the same as the concept of "Dream of Red Mansions" back then. From the start of the global audition on September 25 to the closure of the 31** channel on October, according to statistics, the casting committee received nearly 20,000 resumes, including many popular youth idols. It seems that the popularity is still the same. No less than before.
It is reported that Hu Mei's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" will be adapted into a film trilogy, which reminds me of another regular Spring Festival movie series "Journey to the West". As for whether the more "successful" business model of the movie "Journey to the West" (bad reputation aside) can be applied to "Dream of Red Mansions", there is a question mark for the time being. The popularity of the "Journey to the West" series of movies is due to the interesting monster theme and wide audience. The most important thing is the eye-catching special effects to meet the needs of the family during the Spring Festival. And a work like "Dream of Red Mansions", which is very literary and should not be overly commercialized, is really not suitable for screening in noisy theaters. Of course, this is just my humble opinion. The key is to look at the final product.
Now that the remake is a foregone conclusion, all I have to do is ask the director to focus on creating another great film. If it can't even compare to the small drama version of "Red Mansion" at that time, it will be a joke. Are you looking forward to the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" or are you begging to let go?Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
