The Golden Age of China Entertainment

Yi Qing looked over, saw that it was Teacher Zhou Ling, and felt friendly, looked at him, and didn't even mention food.

"Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Ling smiled and said, "You can still think about coming to see us, not bad, not bad!"

Yi Qing hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, I'm also a member of the crew, so you can say that Liu Xianglian's filming is over, but you can't treat me as an outsider!"

He said with an aggrieved look.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling laughed loudly and said: "Yes! Yes! Yes! We are all a family, don't stand at the door, come in quickly, and you, there will be classes later, hurry back and prepare!"

The crowd immediately dispersed as birds and beasts.

"Xiao Yi! Let's talk later after we finish class!"

"Don't rush to leave, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's talk for a while!"

Yi Qing responded one by one, and when everyone had left, Zhou Ling said: "Let's go, go to my room for a while, let's have a chat, you boy is really good at making troubles, we all listened to you when we were in Hangzhou. said!"

Yi Qing knew that Zhou Ling was talking about "I Love My Family", but he didn't expect that the previous debate would spread so far, and everyone in Hangzhou knew about it.

Following Teacher Zhou Ling into the room, Zhou Ling asked about "I Love My Family" as soon as he sat down: "Although I haven't watched the sitcom you produced, I have heard it from some friends."

"Then what do you think?"

"Let's not talk about anything else, you can boldly try new things, just because of this, I admire you boy, and others would not dare."

Indeed, I dare not, the people of the country are used to following the rules, especially those who came from that era, they are cautious and never dare to cross the threshold.

"I was also forced to do nothing. It takes money to make TV dramas, but we don't have any money, so we can only save money!"

Zhou Ling also let out a long sigh as he listened: "Yes! Money, you need money, and our crew of the Red Chamber also needs money!"

Although the filming of the Red Mansion resumed smoothly after the year, the dilemma of lack of money still plagued Wang Fulin and others. No one knew where the next money would be.

"Xiao Yi, I want to ask you something!"

Seeing that Zhou Ling's expression suddenly became serious, Yi Qing could naturally guess what he wanted to ask.

"Mr. Zhou, you want to talk about the Dream of the Red Chamber that Beijing Film Studio will shoot?"

Zhou Ling nodded and said with a wry smile: "There were a lot of people who didn't think highly of our crew, but now the Beijing Film Studio is also joining in the fun. They have money, and all the people they invite are big stars. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for our crew in the future!"

Yi Qing knew in her previous life that when the Beijing Film Studio announced that it would shoot the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions", some people expressed that they would stop filming the TV series version of "Dream of Red Mansions", and listed a lot of reasons. With such a strong enemy, there is no need to continue filming, and it will only be a waste of money to continue filming.

But the final result?

The movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was short-lived and soon fell silent, while the TV series version of "Dream of Red Mansions" finally soared into the sky when everyone was not optimistic, and became a classic.

In the following decades, many film and television dramas with the theme of Red Mansions appeared, but the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has never been surpassed.

Even in the era when Yi Qing was reborn, The Story of the Red Mansion was remade again, but as long as the 87 version is taken out, it will still be blown to pieces.

Many people have doubts about this. After all, decades later, the film and television equipment and production methods are getting better and better, and the investment is getting bigger and bigger, but why can't it surpass the previous work?Why has the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" been regarded as a classic, but some of the later filmings have become the target of public criticism?

As a person who has experienced it, Yi Qing naturally knows the reasons. The reason why the 87 edition became a classic and is difficult to surpass is not because of a single reason, but because of many factors that make it impossible to surpass.

The first is the degree of fidelity to the original work. The TV series version was dubbed the 87 version, but in fact, the filming did not start immediately after the project was approved. creation.

Director Wang Fulin grasped the core and key points of "Dream of Red Mansions". He did not jump out of the text of Red Mansions and wantonly tampered with and processed the script, but completely followed the original work.

Even if the story of Cao Dada's Red Mansion is not finished, the script is based on the first [-] chapters of the original manuscript and the ending of the characters is faithful to the original script.

In particular, the re-creation of the ending of the 87 edition of "Dream of Red Mansions" is absolutely wonderful.

The ending in the sequel is that Jia Baoyu went to participate in the scientific examination, the Jia family was pardoned, and the family business was rejuvenated. Yi Qing didn't like such a happy ending. The right way to open up is when the family is broken and the people are destroyed.

Under the nest, have the eggs finished?

The ending of the 87 version, Sister Feng's death, Xiangyun becoming a prostitute, and finally Jia Baoyu walking on the white wasteland, these are all handled extremely well.

When Wang Xifeng died, her wish was to return to Jinling, but she was just shrouded in grass and abandoned in the wilderness. At this time, "Smart and Tired" sung by Chen Li rang out, accompanied by the intertwining of Sister Feng's life and death. .

Then the camera switches to the vast snowy wasteland, where Jia Baoyu walks alone in a tattered purple python.

Although bleak, this is an adaptation that is truly faithful to the original, while the 89 movie version completely copied the sequel, which obviously fell behind in terms of level.

In addition, in order to better follow the original work and restore the social style at that time, the crew of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" also formed a 20-member Red Mansion Advisory Group to control the overall situation. Some of these people are red scholars and some are architects. Some were folklorists, and some were leaders in charge of related fields at the time. It can be said that they were the chief helmsman of the crew, fundamentally guaranteeing the standard of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

In order to better present the people, objects, and scenes described in the book, the crew worked tirelessly to select actors from all over the country. Regardless of their identity and background, as long as the image and character fit the characters in the book, they would try their best to recruit them into the crew. These actors came at the time Said, the family is unknown, but in the end because of a "Dream of Red Mansions", they achieved mutual success. It is impossible to find a big-name first-line film and television circle for filming in later generations.

In order to choose the most suitable scene, the crew traveled all over the country instead of just setting up a studio. In order to leave a reference for future generations, the crew finally spent a lot of money in this era. Buildings such as Rongguo Mansion and Grand View Garden were completed in the ground, and they still have an impact on the world after decades. This is impossible to compare with the crew who demolished the studio after filming a TV series.

Secondly, the intensive training before the official shooting is the first of its kind in China's film and television industry. From the perspective of the final film's effect, this is also extremely important.

Later, as long as the actors were in place in many TV dramas, one person would study one script for a few days, or simply memorize it on the spot, or directly get a teleprompter, or just let the actors open their mouths "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9” crazy spray, so dare to shoot.

The 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" did not treat performance work in this way. All the actors in the crew were found from all over the country, and almost all of them were not from majors.

Director Wang Fulin's decision has been opposed by countless people, but he still insists, as long as such a person is malleable, there are not many routines.

After the actors were recruited, the crew did not rush to assign roles, but trained this group of young actors for three years, three years.

Will there be any TV series in three months later?

Is there three weeks?

Many people think that they are big names, and they don’t show up until the first second before the filming of the TV series. Even during filming, if they are a little dissatisfied, they leave directly. What’s more, they don’t even come to the film crew, and rely on cutouts for the whole process , Relying on being a big name, I don’t want to feel good about acting with other actors in private, so I want to make a good TV series, want to surpass the classics?

There is no such thing as a door!

Yi Qing watched too many so-called big-name actors in her previous life. Are those people really ashamed to say that they are actors?

These so-called big names are a group known as traffic stars, and the birth of this group is the blind investment of some capital. As long as there is traffic and attention, they can become actors and act. It is a paradox.

Since when did the criterion for judging an actor no longer be acting skills, but traffic?

These so-called "actors" who have no acting skills and can only act cute and handsome in front of the camera lens broke into the film and television circle with fanciful confidence. I came to the crew as the scene standard, as everyone knows, this is their profession, and what they do is completely the minimum standard for the profession of actors in this industry.

But these confident "actors" can't see themselves clearly, let alone the profession of actors. Can they be expected to be in awe of performances?

It would be nice to be able to read the script before joining the group and know who you are playing.

But as for the actors of the Red Chamber crew, for their own roles, even if it is a small role, they have devoted three years of their youth.

What has the crew of the Red Chamber trained in the past three years?

After all, "Dream of Red Mansions" tells a story of aristocrats. Naturally, it is to cultivate the temperament of these actors. This is a noble temperament in words and deeds, hands, eyes, body and steps. In addition, there are skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and wine. Yes, those so-called traffic stars, Xiao Xianrou, what else do they have besides a face?
