The 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions has seriously tampered with the book A Dream of Red Mansions, showing no respect for the original work.
First of all, it fundamentally does not respect Cao Xueqin's purpose. In short, a dream of red mansions is to talk about love and curse the world when it hurts. Where ethics is involved, it is called praise. But the 87th edition of Dream of Red Mansions turned into a class struggle, poisoning the rich and the rich.
Secondly, the specific description in the book has been tampered with. Lu's uniform description is very distinctive, all of which are orangutan felt and feather cloak. The 87 th edition is full of nonsense and at sixes and sevens.
Turn a color into a mess.
Of course, the biggest tampering of the 87th edition is the ending of the book, which completely abandoned the book and ended the class struggle.
The 87th edition is rustic, the space is narrow, the props are rough, and the hair style and clothes are all copied from the Yue Opera movies.
The only success of version 87 is music.
I will give an evaluation to anyone who holds the 87 version of A Dream of Red Mansions, but he hasn't seen it. To my surprise, no one has ever replied to this comment. Is my judgment too accurate? Maybe I should remove the question mark. I remember when I was a child, my family watched the 87 version of A Dream of Red Mansions. Both father and eldest brother have seen the original, but watching TV plays is boring. Neither my mother nor my sister have read the original, but they read it with relish. Lin Daiyu, Qingwen and Xue Baochai are all beautiful. They are really acting. My big brother laughed at me. At that time, he was unhappy and blamed my eldest brother for not having artistic cells. Such a good play was not moved. As an adult, I was lucky enough to watch A Dream of Red Mansions before I realized that I was wrong about them.
Whether it is "the most faithful original" is all a comparison. At least so far, there has not been another dream of red mansions film that is more faithful to the original.
Being faithful to the original does not mean showing the original word for word. After all, there are a thousand sisters in the eyes of a thousand people, and there are a thousand different understandings of A Dream of Red Mansions. As long as we look at the current redologists, Liu, Liu and Liu have many different understandings of A Dream of Red Mansions. Hu Shi and Zhang Ailing are also very different. So what is a faithful original? Unless Cao Xueqin is asked to judge, no one can prove that his understanding is original.
The 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions is the most faithful to the original. It is because the 87 TV series is consistent with the dream of red mansions in the minds of most ordinary people.
The actors in 1 and 87 are carefully selected and can interpret the characters in the book well.
As far as the main characters are concerned, Chen's interpretation of Lin Daiyu actually has some shortcomings. Chen, for example, is not beautiful enough. When shooting, you can see the deficiency without finding the right angle. However, shortcomings can't cover up the faults of others. She shows Lin Daiyu's aloof, lofty and sentimental character. In many film and television dramas before and after, it is unanimously recognized that there is no Lin Daiyu after Chen, which shows its recognition.
Wang Xifeng, played by Deng Jie, is brilliant and won unanimous praise from the masses who eat melons. She vividly shows the provocative but calculated appearance of Feng Chili.
Xue Baochai, played by Zhang Li, also meets the description of the characters' skin, face like a silver plate and eyes like water apricots in the book. Moreover, he was born in a noble family, dignified and steady, knowledgeable and well-behaved.
2. The costumes and makeup of the actors are determined by combining various ancient books and paintings.
Taking Chen's makeup as an example, the makeup artist referred to the descriptions of many ancient celebrities such as Yang Guifei, Shi, Wang Zhaojun, and studied the appearance of Lin Daiyu written by painters of past dynasties. Her eyebrows, eyes and hairstyle are carefully taken care of.
The actor's every move has been studied and rehearsed for more than three years.
The crew of A Dream of Red Mansions studied actors together for three years, singing, acting, writing, reading poems and drawing every day, just to cultivate their temperament and make them conform to the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions not only in appearance, but also from the inside out.
The scenes and props in version 4.87 conform to the description in the book. See the chapter for details.
Many pavilions in the 87 edition were specially built for the crew under the guidance of a dream expert like Shen Congwen at that time and according to the description in the book. The bowls, chopsticks, vases, tables and chairs used in the play were all determined after careful study. Meticulous in detail.
Respect the original work before 5 or 80 times.
Reading A Dream of Red Mansions always feels more exciting before 1980s, because it is not Cao Xueqin's original work after 1980s, and Dog's Tail is always unsatisfactory. However, the shooting of the TV series also chose a widely circulated version.
Wait, the list goes on. But the shooting of version 87 was more than 30 years ago. At that time, the shooting technology and makeup technology were much behind now, and there was still a lot of room for improvement. Only in the foreseeable decades, it seems difficult to shoot another dream of red mansions comparable to the 87 th edition. So far, version 87 is the most consistent with the original, and I hope to be lucky enough to see better TV dramas that are more consistent with the original in the future.
Never said "most loyal to the original"! But it is really classic! This story, this score, this casting and vividness are all characters from the book!
Before watching the 87th TV series A Dream of Red Mansions, I had seen the original humanistic version of A Dream of Red Mansions, but this did not affect my pursuit of this drama. It properly interprets the first 80 stories of A Dream of Red Mansions, and the main characters are very successful. The disadvantage is that the recent 40 sequels have been abandoned and the new plot is not attractive enough.
Many viewers think that the 87th edition is "the most in line with the original", because Jia Baoyu played by Ouyang Fenqiang has a round face, Lin Daiyu played by Chen is as thin as she is, and Xue Baochai is as fat as she is, and Baochai's personality in the 87th edition is the most in line with the original.
As a visual art figure, TV play is very important. But the so-called "most faithful original" can be not only the characters in this respect, but also the faithful original of characters and stories.
Script is the foundation of a drama and the inner core foundation of TV drama's loyalty to the original. The writers of the 87th edition "innovated" the characters' personality, language and behavior in the original work, such as Jia Mu, Jia Lady Wang Zheng, Baochai attacking Qingwen and so on.
Jia Baoyu, who is indifferent to the world in the original work, knows more about the problems in the Grand View Garden than Baochai in the 87th edition. The 87th version of the script directly changed Baochai's line telling Baoyu that there was a big problem in the Grand View Garden to Baoyu, which further enhanced Baoyu's ability to deal with secular affairs, enhanced his sense of responsibility and responsibility for the family as the official grandson of Jiafu, and at the same time dwarfed Baochai's ability as the director. In order to reshape Jia Baoyu's image, the 87th edition also arranged for Baoyu to take the initiative to go to Xinjiang to see his relatives off in the "innovation" ending, so as to share the worries for the country.
Daiyu, the owner of the original book who despised each other, and Qingwen, the maid of Yi Hong Yuan, were "innovated" by the 87th edition of the script and became "comrades-in-arms" when mocking Baoyu's scandal.
In the original work, Mrs. Wang's kindness in giving Granny Liu one hundred and twenty pieces of silver was directly changed to Jia who has always been selfish and pleasure-seeking. On the one hand, it highlights Jia's kindness, on the other hand, it intentionally strengthens Mrs. Wang's selfishness, indifference and ruthlessness.
In the original work, Jia Zheng was worried about Baochai's lantern riddle. The 87th edition of the script moved the time to do riddles to the Lantern Festival next year, and Jia Zheng's inner monologue was replaced by Jia Mu's inner monologue. Deliberately created the effect that Jia Zheng didn't care about his son Baoyu's marriage and left this family decision to Jia Mu alone.
The 87th edition of the script deleted all the contents of Chapter 35 of the "Master" in the 62nd edition of the Yue Opera film, the 89th edition of the film and the 10 edition, deleted Jia Mu's praise for Xue Baochai, and deleted the statement that Jia Mu and Yuan Fei unanimously defined Daiyu as the same as Sanchun in Jia Fu. In the thirty-fifth episode, Jia Mu's public comments on Baoyu and "our four girls" are the most important turning point in the development of Baochai's main plot of marriage and love in the original work. In order to match the "innovative" ending of the 87th edition of Marriage between Wood and Stone, Jia Mu was adapted and deleted by the 87th edition of the script.
Then, in their own "innovative" ending, the 87th edition screenwriter arranged for the Jia family to send "American ginseng soup" to support the "Mushi wedding", and Aaron gave Mrs. Wang a gift of "Yuan Fei wedding", but Baochai coldly refused the help of Zijuan. He promoted Jia Mu, the highest spiritual leader of the feudal family, to a leader who supported "self-love", and "blacked out" Mrs. Wang Baochai's attack on others as the opposite of conspiring to destroy "Baodai's love".
After the adaptation of the 87th edition of Innovation, the significance of the anti-feudal arranged marriage system in the original novel A Dream of Red Mansions was almost completely dispelled, and the main plot of Baochai's love and marriage became a more eye-catching modern entertainment family soap opera style of "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war".
The 87th edition of the entertaining and modern "innovative" script is widely welcomed by modern audiences. However, I think that the 87th edition of The First 80 Stories of The Most Faithful Original is really ignorant. I didn't read the original carefully, and I realized the great adaptation and remolding of the original characters and story in the 87th edition, which was fooled by the false propaganda of the so-called 87th edition of The Most Faithful Original in some media.
Director Wang Fulin said that "version 87 is a simplified version, a popular version, a story-telling version and a popular version", which is the most accurate positioning of the version 87 TV series.
Not loyal to the original, but fit the original!
Many plots must have been revised, but great efforts have been made in characterization! Every character's performance and preaching are convincing, they are all living people, who are eager for freedom, rebellion, love and struggle under the framework of feudal families!
I didn't watch the 87 version of Dream of Red Mansions at that time, because I always thought that Dream of Red Mansions was written as a joke, and there was nothing to see. I didn't read the original version of A Dream of Red Mansions until I heard Liu's Dream of Red Mansions and saw Li's 87th edition. The 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions was shot in the sun, and Li's Dream of Red Mansions was like a zombie running out of the grave. Comparatively speaking, the 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions is closer to the original. More acceptable.
Anyone moving on the screen will be much worse than you think. Especially immortal actors, some of them are beautiful and glamorous, but their temperament is not like immortal, but more secular than mortals. In addition, the scenery is fake, the picture is beautiful and there is no real scene. Although you can use acting skills to show the traces of acting skills. Books give you infinite reverie, and the feeling of blending color, sound, fragrance and water can only be understood but not expressed. The emotional charm expressed by its unique writing power, once solidified by other means, lacks natural vitality. Do you think I said that?
