A Dream of Red Mansions: Zhu Yan drunk

The 87 version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" comes first, but as long as it is a classic, it will inevitably be performed continuously.As a lover of "Dream of the Red Chamber", I would like to offer some suggestions for re-shooting "Dream of the Red Chamber", welcome to discuss.

[-]. Selection of actors.

The selection of actors is the most important thing in the shooting of a masterpiece, because the characters are distinct enough, the structure of the story cannot be greatly changed, and the ending of the plot is known to all ages. The biggest attraction to the audience is that it restores the image of the masterpiece in people's minds. .The main difficulty in selecting actors for Dream of Red Mansions is that its protagonist Twelve Gold Hairpins and most of the supporting roles are all in the book of Bo Mingsi (Bao Yu didn’t finish reading in the fantasy world, and the remaining sub-volumes and sub-volumes may contain many supporting roles) .It is easy to choose a beautiful actor, but it is difficult to choose a beautiful actor who looks miserable.The compromise strategy is to avoid the minefield and give the makeup teacher a place to play. If it is difficult to find one that perfectly fits the image, choose the most important one among the five senses.This is not a feudal superstition that promotes facial features, but simply discusses it from the perspective of aesthetics and perception. The casting of the 87 edition is already very vivid, so let me discuss it.

1. Lin Daiyu.There are two versions of the words describing Lin Daiyu's appearance. One version is "two curving eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy." Crying is not crying with dewy eyes".I personally lean towards the latter.Because the former description is unlikely to be realized from a physiological point of view, think about it, a person frowning is always sad, but her eyes seem to be filled with joyful emotions, just like Xiao Ming walking away with "shrinking his neck and holding his head high". On the street, like, is counterintuitive.Therefore, it is more reasonable for the latter to describe frowning, eyes moist as if full of tears.

Then the key to Lin Daiyu's casting is to look at her eyes.Eyebrows aside, because as long as the brow bone is not bad, eyebrows can be greatly adjusted by the makeup artist.Lin Daiyu's eyes must be a pair of phoenix eyes in order to show her detached status.In the novel, Lin Daiyu lives under the fence and is often sentimental because of her life experience. On the other hand, Daiyu is loved by Jia Mu and Baoyu cares. Zhou Rui is the last in the list of sending flowers. Maybe I can bear it, she said happily.Her Xiaoxiang Pavilion is like the son’s study, the screens are reminded by Jia’s mother that they should be replaced, and the winter is warmer than other places (Chapter 52: Baoyu laughed and said: “What a picture of ‘Winter Boudoir Collection’! It’s a pity that I was late Here comes a step. Anyway, this room is warmer than other rooms, and this chair is not cold to sit on.) Jia She wanted to marry a mandarin duck once, but Sister Feng used Lin Daiyu as an excuse to spend Ping'er, and Mrs. Xing didn't say anything. In the middle of the trip, no one dared to provoke Lin Daiyu on the surface except Mrs. Wang who was unhappy. She actually lived a very detached life.

Furthermore, Lin Daiyu often cries. If she has normal eye ends, she will inevitably cry like a bitter woman. If she has drooping eye ends, she will be even more frustrated when she cries. The sorrow in the eyes.Of course, it cannot be the single eyelid that rises straight up like in the cartoon Hua Mulan, but both the upper and lower eyelids have a slight curvature, see Liu Yifei's eyes and Chen Xiaoxu's eyes.Chen Xiaoxu's dark eyes are not big enough, but the shape of her eyes is fine, so as long as the camera is at the right angle, it will be beautiful. By the way, I would like to praise her nose, which has classic lines.

2. Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai is the "clear snow in the mountains", Baoyu was stunned by her snow-white arms, and then compared her with Concubine Yang Gui. It can be seen that the key words of Baochai's appearance are white and plump (not fat).Xue Baochai's actor should be considered together with Lin Daiyu's actor. The two of them should be equal, each with their own strengths, and one must not be compared with the other.Because the two are often in the same frame, first of all, their heights should be roughly equal. If there is a slight difference, you can step on high shoes or make a high bun to make up for it. Moreover, there must be a contrast between plumpness and skinny. Don't let Lin Daiyu be stronger than Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai If she is thinner than Lin Daiyu, it will be ruined.

Xue Baochai's facial features are correct, but the forehead and chin should not be too plump, but should be slightly pointed. The plump part is the atrium of the face, so that they can be joined together to form a slightly round face like "the face is like a silver basin".Xue Baochai is a wise man who thinks too much. Excessive thinking will hurt the body, and he has heat and poison external attacks. I am afraid it is normal to have dark circles under the eyes.

3. Jia Baoyu.It is often said that Chai and Dai are one. I think that Baoyu and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are all one. Lin Daiyu is the emotion and emotion spreading from the bottom of my heart. Heart.Qin Zhong (Qin Zhong) is dead long ago, and Jia Baoyu is just a "obscene" person.In the Grand View Garden, any youthful, beautiful and perishable flowers are what he cares about, except that there is no fame and wealth and red tape, so his eyes must be pure and radiant.Jia Baoyu's keyword for an actor is not handsome, but "good-looking and childish", because Baoyu's daily job is to hang out among girls, if the actor's performance is slightly careless or the shooting angle is occasionally off, there will be a kind of hooliganism The déjà vu of running around in the boudoir must find a childish actor so as not to cause this discomfort.Just like Ouyang Fenqiang and Ma Tianyu, no matter how old they are later, their eyes are always clean.

4. Wang Xifeng.The keyword of Wang Xifeng's actor is "a clever mouth". Among the five senses, her mouth is the most important. Who told her to be so good at talking? The actor's mouth and teeth must be opening, closing, laughing, and cursing. They are all in good condition, remember to choose the lipstick color.

5. Jia Yuanchun.The key word of Yuanchun is "forehead".As the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, Yuan Chun was also conferred the title of imperial concubine. Her forehead must have been wide and plump.Unexpected changes in middle age, don't make your chin too long.

6. Jia Yingchun.The key word of Yingchun is "spleen deficiency". Yingchun is not stupid, but if he doesn't take the initiative to pursue everything, if he is lazy, he must have spleen deficiency and lack of energy.Spleen deficiency is naturally edematous, but she is still young and will not swell too much, that is, an actor's face should be fleshy, not skinny, showing a bone image.Yingchun's eyes are somewhat fanciful. She was silent in Jia's house, and she didn't even care about her servants. Why did she persuade Sun Shaozu again when she arrived at Sun's house? It was because she had fantasized about marrying elsewhere and leaving With the status of a concubine, she will naturally have a new life, but life has dealt her a heavier blow.

7. Jia Tanchun.Tanchun's key word is "smart and ambitious", which is different from Wang Xifeng's "smart and clever", Wang Xifeng's eyes can roll around, and Tanchun's eyes are firm.

8. Jia Xichun.She is younger, don't be too cute, her character is stubborn and indifferent.

9. Shi Xiangyun.Shi Xiangyun is charming and bold. In the 49th episode, everyone laughed and said: "She just likes to dress up as a boy, which is more beautiful than her daughter." It can be seen that her key words are: women's clothing and men's clothing are both nice.

10. Miaoyu. In the 87 version, Miaoyu’s eyes are deep, like the sinking waves of an ancient well, and she looks like she really has nothing to do with the world, but Miaoyu’s verdict is that "the sky may not be empty when you want to clean up." I think her eyes should still be Mixed with some nostalgia for the world, but she refused to admit it.

11. Qin Keqing.Key words: classic beauty.

12. Li Wan, sister Qiao.Keywords: well-behaved young woman and well-behaved child.

The above are the characters in the main book, and the 87 version of the rest of the characters are basically found very well, you can continue to refer to them.Another suggestion is that some characters are very beautiful. It’s a pity that they don’t choose actors carefully because they or they appear in a small number of times. For example, Jiang Yuhan and Miss You, the old actors’ acting skills are really good, but I think I can choose more refined.There are two other versions that I have seen that do not quite match, let me not talk about the specific version.Mother Jia is rich, so don't find an old lady with a thin chin.Xiren has a kind face, while Qingwen is pretty, and Wang Xifeng said that she is the first good-looking maidservant, so don't let Xiren be prettier than Qingwen.

Let me add a word here, who do you think is the second most beautiful among the maids?Personally I think it's Amber.See the description of Grandma Liu when she entered Rongguo Mansion for the second time. "Grandma Liu went in, and saw that the room was surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, all of which were beautiful and beautiful. I didn't know who they belonged to. I saw an old woman leaning on a couch, and behind her was a maid who was like a beauty wrapped in gauze. Sister Feng was standing there beating her legs, and she was talking and laughing." Please note that there are a bunch of beautiful ladies standing in the room at this time, in contrast, it is written that the one who beats her legs in Grandma Liu's eyes is a beauty, which shows that this maid is not bad looking.In the following text, it is pointed out twice that Amber beats her back and legs. The division of labor around Jia Mu is relatively clear and fixed, so this maid is probably Hu Po.Furthermore, Mother Jia is very good at picking and employing people, and she has some advantages to be able to work by her side.Needless to say, Yuanyang is courageous in handling things, Qingwen looks good at needlework, so she got it from Madam Lai, Xiren is careful and attentive, the civil servants in the small theater are the best at talking, and when the troupe broke up, she was assigned to Mother Jia. , even the silly elder sister who does rough work has the advantage of being cute and pleasing, so what is the advantage of Amber?First of all, she is not very good at talking. See Chapter 54 when Xiren's mother died. Jia's mother said that she would not come to the master because of her pretentiousness.When Jia Mu heard about it, she nodded and said, "That's all. It happened that Yuanyang's mother-in-law also died. I think her father and mother are all in the south, and I didn't ask her family to go to observe filial piety. Now I call her two together." Let's go as a companion." He also ordered the mother-in-law to eat some fruits, vegetables, snacks, etc. with her.Amber laughed and said, "We're still waiting for this moment, she has already gone." What Amber said revealed how embarrassing Jiamu's preference for mandarin ducks was.Secondly, apart from reminding Grandma Liu that Cangtai is more kind-hearted throughout the article, I don't see any other specialties about her, but Mother Jia often sends her to spread the word everywhere, and the ranking is also closely behind the mandarin ducks. Good looking, relatively decent.

[-]. Character display

The description of the characters in Dream of Red Mansions is divided into several levels, one is directly through prophecies such as verdicts and lantern riddles, the other is through the psychological activities and specific actions of the characters, and the third is through the verbal evaluation of other characters.In a complex environment, characters are often complex. It is necessary to collect details from the original work when shaping and presenting this character. Let's take Xiren as an example.

Generally speaking, Xiren left us with the impression of being thoughtful and considerate, but in fact she is not so single.In the first test of Yunyuqing, I wrote: "Xiren knew that Jia Mu had given herself to Baoyu, and it is like this today, and it is not a courtesy." The lady drove Qingwen back to Jiamu, and they had a conversation, and Jiamu said, "I mean, these girls look sharp, talk, and have more needles and threads than him. In the future, he will be the only one who can be ordered by Baoyu." Pay attention to this The word "only" means that Jiamu only reserved Qingwen as a concubine for Baoyu in the future, so how did Xiren know that Jiamu promised herself to Baoyu?

Another time, Xiren came back from her home, playing hard to catch, saying that the family wanted to take her out, but the Jia family had no reason to force her to stay, so Baoyu was coaxed to keep her. In fact, she had already beaten her mother and her brother in her own home. Those who don't go home alive and dead are just "so first use deceitful words to explore their feelings and suppress their anger, and then to lay down precepts." Xiren is more than one virtuous word. Persuasion and coaxing, to Mrs. Wang is to move with reason, to Sheyue is to know people (pull Sheyue to quarrel), and to Qingwen is to avoid her edge, so different people have different evaluations of Xiren, Mrs. Wang One is Baoyu's mother and the other is Baoyu's wet nurse, and Li Nanny has completely different impressions of Xiren.Mrs. Wang called Xiren my son, and said to Xiren, "If you save him, you will save me. Naturally, I will not let you down." Mother Li said angrily, "You don't know what Xiren is, it's in my hands. The cured hairy girl, what a thing!"

Writing this is not to have any opinion on Xiren, but just to say that everyone is a polyhedron, but we have seen some aspects, and some have not. I personally appreciate Xiren's clear goals, dedication, and brains Planning, this is the life of attack!It is also said that "Xi Nai Chai Vice", Baochai has more side facades than Xi Ren, and many articles have also analyzed it. This is a complicated proposition, so I won't go into details here.Let's analyze two typical characters again.

1. Second Sister You is a "social person".Why do you say that Second Sister You is a social person, because although her appearance is short, she has a lot of social reality topics in her body.One is that there is nothing wrong with disliking the poor and loving the rich in the choice of marriage. I made a marriage contract with Zhang Hua before. Since I dislike being poor, why didn't I leave early, and then go to find a marriage, and I have to ride a donkey to find a horse.The second is that the prodigal son is really insincere when he turns around. He mixed with Jia Zhenjiarong and his son to ruin his reputation, and then quickly accepted Jia Lian.The third is which is more important, name or life. Knowing that I am immoral, I still want too much. I don’t want to live too comfortably in the small courtyard outside, and I still hope to enter Jia’s mansion to get formal recognition.The fourth is whether she died at the hands of Sister Feng or not. In feudal society, Sister Feng’s anger could not be spread on Jia Lian, but in the end she could only be blamed on Second Sister You. In addition, Jia Lian didn’t care much about her after empathizing with Qiutong. In fact, the second sister You died because of her own wrong judgment, wrongly judging how long Jia Lian's friendship can last, and wrongly judging how powerful Sister Feng's methods are.This kind of "social person" role is very likely to cause topic discussions and even debates about values ​​in film and television dramas, so it is worth shaping her well, and don't simplify her into a poor woman who died at the hands of Sister Feng.

2. Aunt Zhao is a "wonderful person".In my eyes, Aunt Zhao is beautiful and cute, and she is the most interesting woman in Dream of the Red Chamber.Jia Zheng was just prudish. During the tour of the Grand View Garden, Baoyu explained all kinds of exotic flowers and plants to the guests. Jia Zheng shouted: "Who asked you to come!" It is a foreign species to be called a 'Naughty Tang'. It is said that among the 'Naughty Country', Yunbi Country is the most prosperous, and it is just absurd." It can be seen that he is also a person who loves these flowers and plants.In other episodes, there was someone who deliberately guessed wrong when guessing riddles to flatter Jia's mother, and there was a joke about drinking his wife's foot-washing water on Mid-Autumn Festival, which made everyone laugh. It seems that Jia Zheng is usually just putting on airs, but in fact he is very If you understand taste, how else would you have such a crooked talent like Baoyu? The aunt selected by Jia Zheng's aesthetic taste must be pretty, but her emotional intelligence is really ignorant, and she can't tell the difference between private and public. , I was embarrassed by Tanchun several times, impatient like a child, went to fight with Fangguan and others, stinging and stinging in front of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, saying all kinds of nonsense, which is ridiculous And lamentable.It is very normal and common for a young girl to be beautiful and cute, but it is very rare for a middle-aged woman who still has charm and cuteness. What is the main function of such a character image that cannot be found in reality? , is to set off other characters and environments from the side, her absurd and willful nonsense indirectly explains Jia Zheng's connivance and ignorance of his concubine (Ma Daopo incident), Mrs. Wang's relative generosity to his aunt, and the instigation of the subordinates and snobbery, as well as the embarrassing living conditions of ancient concubines.

3. The social space for women is "a group of people".This group of people includes young ladies, maids, sister-in-laws, opera girls, young and middle-aged grandmas, daughter-in-laws, and aunts, middle-aged and elderly wives, mothers, mothers-in-law, and Taoist women. These people include the Jia family. Screenshots of the lives of the women here.Dream of Red Mansions seems to have not finished the ending of these young girls. In fact, their endings cannot escape what Baoyu called "priceless jewels" to become "dead pearls" and then "fish eyes". Life is not a dream. The only thing that emerges from the silt is the lotus, and the beautiful face will eventually grow old. Those lifeless middle-aged or old people also had glorious years. I hope that the lens can be given to everyone, showing a picture Panorama.

[-]. Value Orientation

Now the filming of costume dramas must avoid the problems of palace fighting and tampering with history. As one of the four famous novels, Dream of Red Mansions certainly does not have the problem of not passing the trial. Leaving aside some phenomena of feudal society, it has great ideological and educational significance.There is a magical mirror in Dream of Red Mansions called Fengyue Baojian. Through this mirror, the author repeatedly reminds us not to look at the front, but to look at the reverse. , I suggest not to expand these extensions when filming (because the current research on red studies is not conclusive), just reading the appearance of this book is already very rich, it is just like a book of awakening the world, reminded by the experiences of these girls Our youth is fleeting, so we must cherish the good times. Use the daily expenses of the big family and the later difficulties to tell us the truth about how difficult it is to go from extravagance to frugality, and use the decline of the Jia Mansion to remind us: No matter how large a group is, everyone only cares about themselves. If interests are not considered for the overall situation, after all, there will be no eggs under the overturned nest.

There are two points that need to be controlled: one is the furnishings of Jia's mansion, not too magnificent, but elegant;Because the feudal aristocratic families are now extinct, the films produced are too different from the lives of the working people and are too luxurious. The audience will think that these characters are a group of parasitic classes who do nothing to do farming, and they will not resonate emotionally.

The author has something to say:

Dream of Red Mansions is really a Venus with a broken arm. How many people were moved by the lost ending. I wanted to travel back and ask Zhi Yanzhai and Ji Husou and others who commented: Your comments are so detailed and can be handed down. What? This sentence echoes the sentence in the following article, and I sighed what happened to a certain character later, which means that I have seen the ending, so why can’t I show kindness and explain the ending of the character, even if I only attach the summary, a pair of I've seen it, I know I won't say it, I just show you the posture of emotion, it's really pissing off! !
