On August 19, director Hu Mei wrote a long article about the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Golden Marriage". She said that she accepts opinions and that you can only know whether a movie is good or not after watching it. But she also noticed that someone used AI virtual data to send 1-point reviews in bulk. Some accounts were registered several months ago, and it seems that they were specifically designed to blacken or snipe this movie.

Hu Mei posted the following: A movie has just been released, where does your deep hatred come from? My movie "A Dream of Red Mansions" took many years to make and was finally released in the past two days.

Regardless of the box office, this is the work I have put the most effort into in my life. We made this film by absorbing the essence of the film and television shooting of our predecessors, and went through a difficult creative process of 18 years of innovation. Now that the film is finally released, I feel relieved.

As for the audience, some like it, some criticize it, this is all very normal. For me, I have been scolded a lot, I am thick-skinned, it has always been like this, it is not surprising, I have experienced it many times in the past. It is useless for me to say whether it is good or bad, you will know it when you watch it. Of course, I will listen carefully to all opinions, warmly welcome them, and sincerely thank you!

But people should note that some people used AI virtual data to send out 1-point reviews. Some accounts were registered several months ago, and they seemed to be specifically designed to blacken or sniper this movie. There are even people who make personal attacks and insults, with a deep hatred, feeling that making this movie is a heinous crime. Isn't this a bit strange?

In fact, although I am a professional director, I am just an ordinary person walking on the street. Is it necessary for the big names to worry so much about me?

Public information shows that "A Dream of Red Mansions" is directed by Hu Mei, written by He Yanjiang, and starred by Bian Cheng (playing Jia Baoyu), Zhang Miaoyi (playing Lin Daiyu), Huang Jiarong (playing Xue Baochai), Lin Peng (playing Wang Xifeng), with Guan Xiaotong (playing Jia Yuanchun) making a special appearance. The film was released nationwide on August 16.

Long before the film was released, controversy about the film had already arisen. Director Hu Mei seemed calm about this. She said: "Everyone has their own Grand View Garden and their own imaginary Lin Daiyu. You can continue to imagine and read Dream of the Red Chamber. There is no problem. This film is aimed at a new generation of audiences. The purpose is to let them go back to their desks after watching the film, open Dream of the Red Chamber and re-read it."

"A Dream of Red Mansions Part Two" remains controversial after its release. In the short review section of the film on Douban, many netizens gave it low scores.

The magazine "Watching Movies" even gave it a 0-star rating: How to give a modern perspective to a perfect match and create a youth version of "Dream of Red Mansions" for young audiences? The director selected the popular "pure love war god against the whole world" path, and it should be said that the courage to innovate is palpable, but in the face of the vast Dream of Red Mansions, in the entire 2-hour process, only fragmented punch-ins were made for famous scenes such as Baoyu's encounter with Daiyu, Princess Yuan's visit to her parents, Daiyu's burial of flowers, and Granny Liu's visit to the Grand View Garden. The basic narrative method of story progression is completely lost. What's more terrifying is that there is almost no trace of any film shooting in the whole film. The film elements are like weeds, piled up randomly, the performances are immature, the makeup is outdated, the special effects are rough, and the soundtrack is weird... There is nothing worth mentioning.
