Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 524 The Actors

The 87 edition of "Dream of Red Mansions" can be said to be a collection of the most powerful lineup in the domestic literary, art and academic circles at that time, and many main creators worked hard. The national TV station and the Chinese TV drama production center spent huge sums of money and spent several years to create a masterpiece. .

Look at the names of the advisory group for this TV series, Wang Kunlun, Wang Chaowen, Shen Congwen, Lin Chenfu, Ruan Ruolin, Qi Gong, Wu Shichang, Wu Lengxi, Zhou Yang, Zhou Ruchang, Yang Naiji, Cao Yu, Dai Linfeng, Zhu Jiazhen, Wu Zuguang...

Which one is not famous?

This TV series has created a miracle in the history of Chinese TV dramas. It can be said that no one has been seen before and no one will be seen in the future. Before and after it, no TV series will have such treatment again.

But it is such a work that is impeccable from conception to shooting, but it was criticized by domestic intellectual audiences at the beginning of its broadcast.

Many people have the illusion that the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a classic and widely popular.

This is true, but it is definitely not the word-of-mouth of the year it was broadcast.

When the 87 TV series was broadcast that year, it had a very bad reputation for a period of time, and there were many negative comments on the TV series in the newspapers.

The reason for the most fatal word-of-mouth collapse that year was the adaptation of the last six episodes of the TV series.

The first 30 episodes of the TV series correspond to the first [-] chapters written by Cao Xueqin. Anyway, the plots written by Cao Xueqin can be directly copied, and some shortcomings of the TV series have not been exposed.

But in the last 6 episodes, it corresponds to the story of the last forty chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and the screenwriter used the last forty chapters of Gao E's version.However, there are contradictions in some plots. On the one hand, it is under the banner of restoring the original work of Zhiping Pingben, and on the other hand, it completely violates the original standpoint of Zhipian's deity, Chai Yidai.On the one hand, they opposed Gao E's last forty chapters, and on the other hand, they secretly borrowed some plots from Gao E's sequels, which resulted in the inconsistency of the logic of the previous and subsequent episodes of the TV series.

Of course, those who scolded the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" were mostly high-level intellectuals and cultural elites at that time, and ordinary people still had a better impression of this version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

The reason is that except for those high-level intellectuals and cultural elites, the general public has no time to study "Dream of Red Mansions" so deeply, and the vast majority of audiences just watch it.

Especially after ten or 20 years, the audience will look back at the version of "Dream of Red Mansions" that year, which is simply a conscience work of domestic TV dramas.

This kind of conscience is reflected in all aspects of this TV series, from script, service, actors, filming, production, all the people involved in it are all conscientious and trembling.

This is "Dream of Red Mansions"!

The insurmountable pinnacle in the history of Chinese novels!
From September 1984, 9, it was officially launched in Huangshan, Hui'an Province, and the first set of shots was recorded, and the shooting was completed in the first half of 10. The whole shooting process lasted three years, and the crew traveled to 1987 provinces and cities across the country. There are 10 scenic spots in 41 regions, nearly 219 shooting lenses, and a total investment of 680 million yuan, creating countless firsts in the history of Chinese TV.

He Ping has a good impression of this version of "Dream of Red Mansions" in his heart. When he was a child, he didn't really like to watch this version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

But later, after he had watched the version of "Dream of Red Mansions" directed by a certain Hong when he first went to work, he revisited the version of "Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Wang Fulin.

I have to say that sometimes this thing not only needs to be excellent itself, but also needs to be set off by peers.

When He Ping watched it, it had been more than 87 years since the [-] version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was broadcast, but he still watched it with gusto and didn't think there was anything bad about it.

After watching it, He Ping felt unsatisfactory, and looked for some behind-the-scenes materials of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

The movement of the car interrupted He Ping's memory. With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and held Wang Fulin's hand who had just got off the car.

"Director Wang, I'm looking forward to you guys."

"Teacher He, it's been a long time!" Wang Fulin said with a smile.

The two greeted each other, and the crew members got out of the car one after another. Wang Fulin said, "Mr. He, let me introduce you. This is screenwriter Zhou Ling, producer Dai Linfeng, producer Ren Dahui..."

Wang Fulin introduced one by one, and He Ping greeted everyone politely.

He Ping is the initiator of the construction of the Grand View Garden scenic spot. Everyone knows this, and they also know the works he wrote, so they are very enthusiastic about him.

After introducing several important behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew, He Ping caught a glimpse of a group of young and beautiful girls and boys getting out of the car behind.

It's really eye-catching, it's much better than the gang of crooked melons and jujubes from the "East Love" crew, it can't be compared.

That big pancake face is so distinctive, Brother Baoyu.

The thin one looks like a stick, isn't that Lin Daiyu?

There is also Baochai, who looks so rich, no wonder the old Jia family wants Baoyu to marry Baochai, what a prosperous husband!
Wang Xifeng, Jia Mu, Shi Xiangyun, Qin Keqing...

The characters in the pictures in the memory appeared in front of him one by one, and He Ping seemed to see through them the memory that he was about to forget.

Wang Fulin saw that He Ping was looking at the actors coming out of the car behind him, and patted his hand lightly.

Only then did He Ping realize his gaffe, "I'm sorry, I just want to see what the characters in the novel look like, it's different from what I thought when I read the book."

Wang Fulin said with a smile: "Understood. Those who have watched "A Dream of Red Mansions" would not have a picture of what these people would look like in reality. Anyway, the crew is here, and there will be opportunities to meet them in the future."

"Director Wang said so."

On the side, Lin Yanan, who was going to pick up Wang Fulin and the others, asked, "Mr. He, do you think you should go to the hotel first?"

He Ping slapped his head, "Look at me, I've been patronizing to see the actors, and I've forgotten the business. Everyone has come from a long way, and the boat and car are tiring. Hurry up to the hotel and have a good rest. Let's talk about it later if there is anything to do."

Wang Fulin said: "Mr. He, the Grand View Garden..."

"Don't worry, you should rest first, and I will take you and the teachers of the crew to see the scene later, and I will definitely not disappoint you." He Ping assured Wang Fulin.

"Well, let's go to the hotel first."

The people who had just got out of the car got back into the car again, drove two or three miles back, and returned to the tall building they saw when they entered the village just now.

Donglai Hotel.

The actors who got out of the car looked at the sign and said.

"Get out of the car, this is where the crew will live." Lin Yanan shouted to everyone.

Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li muttered, "So it's a hotel for us to stay in!"

The big pancake-faced Baoyu said happily: "This hotel is too good, isn't it, we live here for filming? Wouldn't it be too happy?"
