Chapter 128: 89 The Dream of Red Mansions in the movie version

Yi Qing stayed in the Journey to the West crew for 23 days, and after filming the last scene, he left by train on the same day, a week earlier than the original plan.

After all, this kind of opportunity is something that many people can't ask for.

It is already very rare for an actor to participate in one of the plays in his life, like Wang Zhongxin and He Qing, there are only two of them who have performed the four famous novels.

"Here, you can eat it after a while!"

Yi Qing held two lunch boxes and squeezed for a long time, finally passed through the flow of people, returned to his seat, and quickly handed one to He Qing, his hands were almost hot, this aluminum lunch box was quite strong, but it was not insulated.

That's right, it was He Qing who sat next to him.

On the last day of filming, Yi Qing heard from He Qing that she was also going to the capital, of course, not to play, but to participate in an interview with a crew.

Since they were all going to be in the capital, Director Yang Jie naturally entrusted He Qing with He Qing, and when he left, he didn't forget to tell him that he must take care of it.

After all, the filming of the little white dragon is over, and the drama of the Princess of All Saints has just begun.

If you wait until the filming of the episode of "Sweeping the Tower to Distinguish Strange Injustices", the Princess of All Saints will be gone, Yi Qing will be unlucky with her, and the little white dragon scene will have to be repeated.

He Qing stretched out his hand and took it: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Yi Qing said and sat next to her: "Let's get together on the train, when you get to the capital, I will invite you to eat Fengze Garden." ”

He Qing went to the capital for the first time, and he was full of expectations: "If the audition is successful, if you have time, can you take me to the Forbidden City to see? ”

"Okay!" Yi Qing agreed very happily, "I will take you when I go back." ”

Yi Qing said, looking at the book He Qing had in his hand, it was too familiar to him, this book had been read hard for more than half a year last year.

"How's that, can you see it?"

He Qing frowned slightly, and said, "I used to see it, but after listening to you say so much, I realized that what I understood before was wrong." ”

Yi Qing smiled and said: "It's right that you feel this way, when I first read it, I also thought I could understand it, but then I came to the training class and listened to so many teachers' lectures, I realized how naïve I was before, and it was not so easy to understand this book!"

That's right, the book He Qing is reading now is a copy that Yi Qing has just finished, Dream of Red Mansions.

And the crew she is going to interview for now is about to shoot the 89 movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Now that the TV series version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has not been filmed, the film version has begun to prepare, Yi Qing does not have to guess to know that after Director Wang Fulin heard the news, the pressure must be very great now.

After all, behind the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is the Beijing Film Studio, first of all, there must be no shortage of funds, and secondly, there is no shortage of good actors, that is, there are not enough actors in their own homes, and it is convenient to find peers to second.

He Qing received a notice from the unit, and the secondment letter from Beijing Film Studio was sent directly to her unit, asking her to go to Beijing from Wuxi to participate in the audition.

The whole country is a game of chess, before the market economy invades the field of film, peers are really not enemies.

In the past, when it came to adapting famous works, the bigwigs in the industry felt that this thing was unreliable, all kinds of reasons, all kinds of resistance, in short, they couldn't touch it, but as a result, CCTV just started with "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", and others followed suit.

Everyone knows that adapting literary masterpieces into film and television dramas is a thankless task, and it often takes a lot of effort and is not recognized by the audience.

Not to mention famous novels, no matter who picks up this theme, they must be cautious without exception, and among the four famous novels, the most daunting for directors is "Dream of Red Mansions".

If you want to adapt successfully, the difficulty is too great, not to mention anything else, let's just say the length of the original work, plus the sequel, there are a total of 120 times, and there are more than 950 characters who appear, not only to highlight the main characters, but also to explain the reason for the story clearly, and to shoot everything you want to shoot, which is not something that ordinary people can control.

The plot is not well controlled, the scene is not easy to schedule, in the story of Red Mansions, there are too many scenes worthy of the word grandeur, the luxurious and extravagant life of the second mansion of Rongning described in the novel, as well as the scenes of temples and palaces, pavilions, and feasts and poetry meetings, it is not easy to shoot for the audience's approval, and it is thankless to do it badly.

Then there is the control of each character, the audience has a positioning from the beginning of reading the novel, and it is obviously a very difficult project to achieve audience satisfaction.

Foreigners say: There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.

Many Chinese people also echoed it, and regarded this sentence as a wise saying, but in Yi Qing's opinion, it was pure bullshit.

The fact that a character in a literary work can be interpreted into so many versions can only show that the author's skill in portraying the characters is almost meaningless.

Just like "Dream of Red Mansions", Lin Daiyu in people's hearts should be like this, and Jia Baoyu should be like that, with distinctive character characteristics, and there are not so many messy interpretations.

In addition, the most critical point is that Chinese directors are best at shooting beautiful pictures, but the narrative is much worse, but "Dream of Red Mansions" not only has beautiful pictures, but the narration of the story is the key, which also discourages many directors.

Therefore, director Wang Fulin is really not an ordinary fierce, not only dare to take this job, but even dare to find a group of completely inexperienced people to act, and replace it with someone else, I guess I don't even dare to think about it.

In fact, since before the liberation, "Dream of Red Mansions" has been adapted into film and television dramas many times, but most of them are like meteors across the sky, fleeting, and only the 87 version has always been regarded as a classic.

In fact, among the many film and television dramas adapted from "Dream of Red Mansions", in addition to the 87 version, there is at least one that should not be forgotten, that is, the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" made in 1989.

The film version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was produced by Beijing Film Studio, prepared in 1985, started filming in 1986, took 2 years to prepare, 3 years to complete, and was officially released in 1989.

It's just that due to various reasons, the 89 movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" failed to become as popular as the 87 TV series version, and later this version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was criticized on the Internet, but in Yi Qing's opinion, this Beijing Film version of "Dream of Red Mansions" actually has many highlights.

First of all, the creative team is strong. This "Dream of Red Mansions" is directed by Xie Tieli, Zhao Lirong who plays Grandma Liu, and Lin Moyu who plays Jia's mother, all three of whom are famous old artists.

In addition, it also brings together Liu Xiaoqing, Tao Huimin, Fu Yiwei, Ma Xiaoqing, Li Lingyu and other stars who are currently becoming popular. In later terms, it is popular, hot, and topical.

According to the popularity of the creative team and the actors, the 87 TV series version is not even qualified to compare with others, take Ji Peijie's temporary worker in a shoe factory to compare with Jose Fei, who is the little flower award? Or take Deng Jie, who can't even reach the third-rate actors, to compare with Liu Xiaoqing, a big star of others?

Secondly, the adaptation of the 89 film version is more faithful to the original work, and presents the appearance of 120 episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" more completely.

The 87 version of the TV series, when adapting, according to the advice of red scientists, did not directly adapt the last forty times, but adopted the results of red studies.

Of course, Yi Qing also agrees with these changes, but these changes have caused considerable controversy after the TV series was broadcast. As the adaptor, Mr. Zhou Ling reopened the reopening of the gong and drums, completely abandoning the last forty sequels that have been circulating for hundreds of years, which made many "Dream of Red Mansions" lovers find it difficult to accept.

The movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" directly adapts the content of the sequel, which is more consistent with the expectations of ordinary readers of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Third, the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is quite distinctive in terms of costume design, scene scheduling, etc., and it is also commendable in terms of actors' performances, such as Grandma Liu played by Zhao Lirong, Jia Mu played by Lin Moyu, and Wang Xifeng played by Liu Xiaoqing.

It's a pity that although there are many highlights, the response to this "Dream of Red Mansions" was mediocre after its release, after all, there is the 87 version of the TV series Zhuyu in front, which is certainly one of the important reasons, but in Yi Qing's view, the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has two major failures that cannot be ignored.

First of all, the length of the movie is really too long, the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is divided into 6 parts and 8 episodes, with a total duration of 735 minutes.

You must know that movies are different from serials after all, serials are broadcast on TV stations, and the audience can watch episodes after episodes, while movies are released in cinemas, and a movie is divided into so many episodes, just ask, how many viewers can have the patience to see the sixth from the first part?

That's not!

At the same time, it is still limited by the duration, many plots are not reflected, and the other is that some misplaced treatment of the original plot has been carried out to cover up the traces of deletion, and the words spoken by the characters have been "Zhang Guan Li Dai", which is reasonable to a certain extent, and it is very attentive, but it must be said that many places are too streamlined because of the time limit.

Secondly, Jia Baoyu's role is played by actresses, which is also the biggest failure of this movie, the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" Jia Baoyu is played by actress Xia Qin.

Whether Xia Qin's acting skills are good or not, I don't care, but the audience knows that the actor who plays Jia Baoyu is a woman, watching this men's eldest sister fall in love with Lin Daiyu, can she not play?

After all, lovers of "Dream of Red Mansions" have a very beautiful imagination of the images of the two protagonists, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, and choosing a woman to fight back against Brother Bao is something that red fans can't accept anyway.

Although Jia Baoyu in the Yue Opera version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is also a female actor, why aren't red fans disgusted?

You must know that Yue Opera is an opera, and it is common for characters to be reversed, and audiences who like Yue Opera have long been accustomed to it, so fans are not disgusted with actress Jia Baoyu.

The film should be presented to audiences of different ages and hobbies, with a wide range and many audiences, especially a classic literary masterpiece such as "Dream of Red Mansions", which has a wide readership, and the casting must be more cautious.

The movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" chose an actress to play Jia Baoyu in reverse, destroying the beautiful imagination of Bao Dai's love among red fans, which is obviously a very unwise choice.

But although there are many shortcomings, in Yi Qing's view, no matter which aspect is evaluated, the 89 movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is tantamount to a sincere work.

For such a drama, Chongjing Film Studio gathered so many beautiful domestic actresses, which shows that the ambition is not ordinary.

"What's the situation, the notice given to you by your unit said that it didn't say which role you want to try?"

The two also talked about CCTV's "Dream of Red Mansions" before, and He Qing also said that he wanted to play Lin Daiyu at that time.

He Qing lifted the lid of the lunch box, and a burst of heat rose: "I didn't say it, I just said let me go over as soon as possible, by the way, didn't you say last time that I was suitable to play Qin Keqing?"

Yi Qing definitely thinks it's suitable, but it seems that He Qing still has her own careful thoughts, and it depends on whether Beijing Film Studio will give her this opportunity.

How Beijing Film Studio operates this drama, Yi Qing has never understood it in his previous life, and may learn CCTV's routines, gather a group of actors together, and train them first.

But if you think about it carefully, it should be unlikely, CCTV can do this, after all, most of the leading actors are inexperienced ordinary people, and they can't act at all without systematic training.

Beijing Film Studio is looking for actors who are well-known in the circle, so that a wrist of Liu Xiaoqing's size can live in a dormitory, eat in a canteen, and train in classes every day, can he do it?

"I think it's useless to be suitable, the key depends on what Director Xie thinks, by the way, you go to the capital, has your unit arranged the reception of people over there?"

Yi Qing just asked casually, who knew what kind of resentful little eyes he found: "Yi Qing, what do you mean by this, you don't plan to care about me, right?"

Belch!

When he said this, Yi Qing didn't know how to take it down.

It is said that their current relationship is that of friends, and friends go to their own territory, and they should be responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the problem is that the conditions are not allowed!

The last time Guo Xiaozhen and Jin Lili came to the capital to join him, Fu Yiwei was not happy, that is, he was not afraid of shadows, and proved his innocence with facts, but even so, Fu Yiwei didn't let him side for ten days.

If you bring He Qing back this time, will Fu Yiwei kick over the vinegar vat again?

Yi Qing really has no bottom in his heart!
