The movie "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Perfect Marriage" uses the eternal BE love captured by the lens to attract young people to reread the classics

The movie "Dream of Red Mansions" released a special edition of Baoyu's wedding. A marriage is a tragedy for three people#The movie Dream of Red Mansions: A Golden Marriage#The movie Dream of Red Mansions: Baoyu's wedding special#The movie Dream of Red Mansions: The love tragedy

I still couldn't help it and went to see "A Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Hu Mei at my own expense. I found that the actors were not beautiful enough and the lack of face-matching was just a trivial detail. They were indeed not beautiful. Bian Cheng, who played Baoyu, wore heavy makeup, which made his face look very long, which made the oldYang Yanghandsome.

But the biggest problems lie with the screenwriter and director, who managed to cram in half of A Dream of Red Mansions into a movie of less than two hours, and also created a lot of new content. The movie is comprehensive and yet fragmented, with no room for any character to stand out, and a lot of wasted scenes - if there is any, it is that all the scenes of Daiyu losing her temper and throwing things were acted out without missing a single detail, so that the audience will remember Daiyu's mean nature.

Since the name is "A Marriage between a Golden Jade and a Jade", normal people would understand that it is mainly about the story of Bao, Dai and Chai. It is unnecessary to film Granny Liu's visit to the Grand View Garden and the visit of Princess Yuan to her parents, and they have no connection with the main plot. As for the ideological connotation, it is simply too high for the audience to ask. After watching this movie, the biggest feeling is that the director and screenwriter probably watched the manzai version of "Dream of Red Mansions", which led to the fact that even if you are not a fan of the original novel, you can still feel that the re-creation is not like anything.

A large number of self-created plots highlight the blatant conspiracy and intrigue. The two most prominent plots are: one is how the Jia family embezzled Lin Ruhai's property, and the other is how the Xue family wanted to marry into the Jia family.

First, when Lin Daiyu went to Suzhou to attend the funeral, Zijuan and Daiyu complained that Jia Yucun and Jia Lian were sneaky and planning something, and Xing'er's private comments on the masters were more reasonable than Zijuan's.

After Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng finished their sexual intercourse, they asked Fengjie how much money she had extorted from the Lin family. Fengjie held out five fingers, and Jia Lian wanted to ask for a few flowers, but Fengjie refused. No, wasn't it Lian Erye who went to Suzhou? With his personality, how could he get the money without deducting a few first? They also said that the old lady asked to put the money of the Lin family into the Jia family treasury, and Jia's mother became a wolf grandmother who calculated her granddaughter.

When the substitution plot was underway, Grandmother Jia also said that she had asked someone to calculate Daiyu's fate and found that she was not destined to be with Baoyu, so Lu Yan's kindness wasted.

Since we are looking forGuan XiaotongSince she plays the role of Princess Yuan, wouldn't it be more reasonable to let Yuanchun issue an edict on the marriage? How come, except for the 1987 TV series, every version of the novel follows Gao E's sequel as the canon?

Xue Pan also emphasized to his mother and sister that the Jia family had embezzled the Lin family's money and were short of money, so they had to marry into the wealthy Xue family, for fear that the audience would not remember it.

Another big villain is Aunt Xue. She complained to Mrs. Wang that Baoyu and Daiyu were as close as honey and oil, and even recommended her daughter to marry Baoyu. Baochai was listening to her when she said this. This family is so shameless.

The same is true in the passage "The mind is lingering and the jade emits fragrance on a quiet day". The two maids in Daiyu's room eavesdropped through the wall and talked about Baoyu and Daiyu "rolling together in just half a day".

When Granny Liu first entered the Jia Mansion, Wang Xifeng treated her coldly until Granny Liu recognized Jia Rong as Sister Feng's husband. Sister Feng smiled and gave Granny Liu money. This was probably because she was afraid that the servants would gossip about her. Sister Feng was powerful but not lewd!

There are many errors that are obviously caused by not reading carefully, such as Jia Zhen dragging Qin Keqing into the room and being seen by Jiao Da. When Jiao Da was cursing in the street, other servants said that he had made the master drink horse urine in the past, and today he wanted Jiao Da to eat horse manure. Obviously, he read the book wrongly, and the book said that Jiao Da left the water for his master to drink horse urine.

In the movie, Jia She calls his home "Jia Mansion", Zhou Ruijia calls Wang Xifeng "Sister Feng", and Sister Feng calls Yuanchun by her name, which is not in accordance with etiquette. Modern lines can be found everywhere, Baoyu said to Daiyu: I miss you, I have you in my heart... Tsk tsk.

When Wang Fu-ren came to visit Bao-yu, Bao-yu hid in bed out of fear. Qing-wen told him to "stop pretending" in front of Wang Fu-ren. This was not the logic of Bao-yu and Qing-wen's behavior. Bao-yu was not afraid of his mother at ordinary times, and Qing-wen always protected Bao-yu in such matters.

At the beginning of the story, Jia Huan went to the kitchen to steal a chicken, and the kitchen manager Liu, played by Yammie Lam, chased him and beat him. This is something only a small family would do. The Jia family is a centipede that will not die even if it is cut into pieces. It is not possible for them to be so shameless.

The Grand Illusionary Land was also filmed, but it was very short, and it was about a dream of Baoyu, who saw Keqing lying in a petal bath, with her clothes half-covered and half-exposed. I don't know if it was to echo Keqing, but before she got married, Baochai also took a petal bath half-naked.

The girls formed a poetry club and actually asked Grandmother Jia to be the referee. The book clearly states that Grandmother Jia was not good at literature and did not approve of girls' reading.

I can understand that the timeline needs to be disrupted due to the length of the film, but it is a bit too chaotic. The imperial concubine just finished her visit to her parents, Baoyu's jade was lost, and people were hysterical. The progress was too fast. The beginning was also very dragged out. The movie was played for an hour, and Baoyu and Xiangyun only met Baochai for the first time. They didn't seem to know each other well.

Compared to the strange plot, I can forgive the actors' bland performances. Guan Xiaotong's performance is quite good, but it's only one scene, so she can't be blamed.

Among the four great classics, "Dream of Red Mansions" is definitely the least suitable for film adaptation, because it is a long line from beginning to end that is difficult to break, and the story is fragmented and full of foreshadowing, unlike the other three, where each story can be an independent chapter.

In the late 1980s, Xie Tieli directed a series of films called "Dream of Red Mansions". The length of the film was sufficient and it also invited the strongest lineup at the time.Liu XiaoqingWang Xifeng,Tao HuiminDaiyu is played by , Baochai is played by Fu Yiwei, Zijuan is played by Chen Hong, Qin Keqing is played by He Qing... Even so, it failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.

The most common adaptation of the Dream of the Red Chamber is on the stage of opera, usually with strong dramatic conflicts, such as the two Yous in the Dream of the Red Chamber and Lin Daiyu entering the Jia Mansion. When I was a child, I read a comic book about opera, in which Wang Xifeng made a big fuss in the Ningguo Mansion, and a lot of plots were added. For example, after the fuss, when Jia Mu came, Wang Xifeng's face changed and she complimented Jia Mu as "the holy ancestor", and Jia Mu asked the servants to call Feng Jie "the virtuous second wife", which was also quite funny.

Another smarter approach is to focus on shaping one or two people, such asMa TianyuThe drama in which she starred, "The Story of Daiyu", focused on the love story line, but it was obvious that Hu Mei bit off more than she could chew.

A long time ago I read a book called "Siqi", which imagined how she fell in love with her cousin, how she elopes but fails and then commits suicide after being expelled. It was short but complete, and more interesting than those grand adaptations.

Classic literary works like "Dream of the Red Chamber" should be filmed by people who love and understand it. People who don't like it should not join in the fun.
