Director faces the controversy of adaptation Hu Mei: I am "the words of a family"

Yang Tongshu, who plays Mrs. Wang, said that he was "secretly happy" when he learned that he was going to play Mrs. Wang in this film: "this is A Dream of Red Mansions.

I am particularly grateful and hope that you will pay more attention to the classical masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions, which belongs to our nation as well as the world. "

actors show youthful charm Zhang Xianyi recreates "Daiyu's famous lines" on the spot

There are many young actors in the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions". When they were filmed six years ago, they were inexperienced newcomers, and this was the first play of their lives. Six years later, we were reunited, and everyone already had their own masterpieces. Recalling the shooting experience in that year, everyone thanked Director Hu Mei. Yang Qiru, who plays the attacking character, said that director Hu Mei gave a lot of help during the filming of the first film of her life, and she was lucky to feel the charm of the original novel by playing the role of attacking people.

Speaking of the process of forming a bond with the film, Bian Cheng, who plays Jia Baoyu, said that he was under a lot of pressure, but later he received a long training course to give him the courage to challenge the role. Huang Jiarong, who plays Xue Baochai, also mentioned that he was only 16 years old at that time, and that he could not fulfill the role of Xue Baochai without the support and guidance of the director. Zhang Xianyi, who plays Lin Daiyu, was a fat baby student six years ago. Recalling her most impressive shooting experience, she revealed that in order to get closer to Lin Daiyu's appearance, she had not eaten for several months and finally lost more than 80 jin. On the same day, Zhang Xianyi also restored the popular "classic lines of Daiyu" on the Internet: "what a golden and jade marriage!" "if I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come." "is it for me alone, or do all the other girls have it?" After a few words, some viewers said, "the sweat is coming down."

after the screening, the audience debated whether Xue Baochai liked Jia Baoyu or not.

On the day of the premiere, not only young people who were interested in the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions came to watch the movie, but also parents and children, as well as elites from all walks of life. Professor Duan Qiongxiong, from the Chinese Opera Academy, said after watching the film that the film was "very beautiful and shocking" and saw the nature of the times: "the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions not only reinterprets the classics from the perspective of modern people." he also bravely nibbled away many of the hard bones that his predecessors dared not discuss, which played an important role in the spread of A Dream of Red Mansions in the new era. "

At the end of the day, the audience was very enthusiastic and raised their hands to express their feelings. A couple of doctoral students from the China Academy of Arts also had an on-the-spot "debate" on "whether Xue Baochai likes Jia Baoyu". From a woman's point of view, his wife believes that Baochai likes Baoyu precisely out of her love for Baoyu. So he has a beautiful vision, and every time she sees a close relationship between Baoyu and Daiyu, it also makes the audience feel her inner fluctuations and emotional changes. Her husband believes that Baochai is a helpless person trapped in the feudal society: "she and Baoyu have been from different worlds from the very beginning. Baoyu wants to break through the ethical sufferings of feudal society, and his soul is free. Xue Baochai is a person who can't get rid of her own destiny. She won't like Baoyu." The confrontation of the two people's views also immersed both the creator and the audience, and the charm of the masterpiece was also shown in the collision of views.

It is reported that the film "A Dream of Red Mansions" will be released on August 16, 2024. ![] (https://count.mail.163.com/beacon/webmail.gif?type=webmail_mailtrace&guid=pre_451d34a332f4931cb04cb1d2db38928c)
