The new version of "Red Mansions", which was hailed as "the product of 18 years of hard work", suffered a double defeat in terms of box office and reputation within five days of its release.

Criticisms from the audience poured in, pointing directly at the explicit scenes in the film, making it like a movie version of "Heaven on Earth."

Faced with the overwhelming condemnation from the audience, director Hu Mei did not reflect on herself, but instead directed her criticism at netizens.

She claimed that this movie "combines the best of many schools of thought", but the "black fans" on the Internet attacked this movie with bad intentions.

Hu Mei's response added fuel to the fire, pushing herself and the actors to the forefront...

Large-scale shots are like "Heaven on Earth"

The new "Red Mansion" was released for 5 days and only grossed 4.2 million yuan at the box office, and even the number of screenings has been reduced again and again.

You know, the director claimed that the investment was as high as 200 million yuan, but with such a dismal box office, the ending of huge losses seems to have been doomed.

Netizens who watched the movie at the same time also said that they felt very uncomfortable and tortured in the cinema.

Seeing that netizens were so unconvinced, director Hu Mei boldly spoke up and said that these malicious comments were all sent out by AI in bulk, and even sent out lawyers to collect evidence for some of the remarks.

In response to this, netizens did not back down and directly disclosed the five sins of the new "Dream of Red Mansions".

Cao Xueqin did briefly describe erotic scenes in Dream of the Red Chamber, but he often just touched on them and rarely spent words to expatiate on them.

Whether it is the lovemaking between Baoyu and Xiren or the dissolute behavior of You Sanjie, the author writes them very obscurely.

However, in the new film "Red Mansion" directed by Hu Mei, the large-scale shots made netizens exclaim that they felt like they were in "heaven on earth".

The erotic scenes are bold and straightforward, devoid of the hazy and slightly subtle beauty of the original work, and are filled with a vulgar atmosphere.

One is the scene where Jia Lian is shirtless.

As soon as Jia Lian returned home, he took off his clothes and walked around naked in front of his wife and maids.

He even openly slapped a maid's butt in front of Feng Ji, making a crisp sound.

What's even more outrageous is that when Jia Lian and his maid Ping'er were caught in bed, he ignored Feng Ji's rebuke and hugged Ping'er in his arms with his bare arms.

You know, no matter how lustful Jia Lian is, he will still restrain himself in front of his wife. Unexpectedly, he was transformed into a devil.

The second is that Xue Pan flirted with Xiangling in public. The new "Dream of Red Mansions" can be said to be the worst time that Xue Pan was criticized.

It would not be surprising if Xue Pan flirted with the prostitutes in the brothel in front of his friends without caring about others.

After all, Xue Pan has been a playboy since he was young. Neither Xue's mother nor Baochai can control him, as he has the aura of a dandy.

In order to fight for a maid, he indulged his servant in committing a crime, which led to him getting into a murder case. This was enough to show his tyranny and domineering nature.

This "dumb bully" has done many outrageous things, but in the movie he openly flirted with Xiangling.

When Xue's mother and sister Baochai were playing cards with others, he actually hugged the maid Xiangling in public.

Netizens have expressed that even Xue Pan is getting worse than the previous generation, molesting the maid like a gangster in front of his family.

Third, Jia Zhen dragged Qin Keqing into the room.

Not only Xue Pan acts like a gangster, even Jia Zhen, the esteemed elder of Ningguo Mansion, behaves like a street thug.

Cao Xueqin was very subtle when describing the relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing, and used the old servant Jiao Da's mouth to reveal the secret of their affair.

In addition, after Qin Keqing passed away, Jia Zhen held her funeral in a very grand manner and even hired a Taoist priest to perform a ritual to pray for her soul.

These actions go beyond the normal concern a father-in-law would have for his daughter-in-law and further suggest an unusual relationship between the two.

However, Mr. Cao did not directly mention that Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing had sexual relations, so everything is implied.

Unexpectedly, in the movie, when Qin Keqing passed by the door, Jia Zhen suddenly appeared like a ghost and forcibly pulled her into the room.

This is really shocking. Even Cao Xueqin would jump out and point at Hu Mei's nose and curse her when he saw this.

Fourth, Qin Keqing’s appearance is weird. Her makeup makes her look like a lady from “heaven on earth”, without any dignity of the eldest grandson’s wife.

When Baoyu traveled to the illusory world of Taixu, the verdicts of the Twelve Beauties and the Twelve Songs were hardly presented at all. Instead, the nude scenes of Qin Keqing were particularly highlighted.

She was lying on the ground, surrounded by flower petals, wearing light-colored gauze, with a charming look on her face, and the gauze just barely covering her private parts.

The eldest grandson's wife, who was gentle and virtuous in the original novel, was portrayed as such a frivolous woman, revealing a bit of vulgarity.

Most netizens said that Qin Keqing was quite charming and not coquettish.

Hu Mei insisted on turning the Grand View Garden into the Yihong Courtyard, and the ladies from the "Dream of Red Mansions" into the top guests.

Fifth, Baochai takes a bath before her marriage.

She was about to marry Baoyu, but instead of preparing for the wedding, she was busy bathing and changing clothes.

In the smoke-filled room, there was a bathtub with various flowers floating in it, surrounded by red candles.

Baochai sat in the basin and bathed leisurely, not worrying about the upcoming wedding at all.

Watching the frequent nudity scenes in the play, the audience's hearts finally died on suspense.

The audience who were disheartened by the new "Dream of Red Mansions" will have to suffer a second beating from the director and the creative team.

"One Dai is worse than another"

During the roadshow of the new "Red Mansions", director Hu Mei was full of praise for Zhang Miaoyi, who played Lin Daiyu.

It can be said that Hu Mei fell in love with this actress at first sight, and said frankly that she has a unique charm that can grab you.

Even after a period of training, she called all the executive directors of the crew, and they all thought that she was the most suitable for the character.

However, this actor who was recognized by the entire crew was criticized by netizens, who called her "one Dai is worse than another."

In the movie, Zhang Miaoyi, who has a little baby fat, has none of Lin Daiyu's fragile and weak temperament, and she can uproot weeping willows in a minute.

You should know that even though the director of the 1987 version of Red Mansions felt that Chen Xiaoxu was not pretty enough, he still decided to use her because of her temperament.

It can be said that Zhang Miaoyi has nothing, but even so, director Hu Mei still speaks up for her.

She claimed that Zhang Miaoyi was a girl who loved to laugh very much, but she cried all day long in order to play Daiyu, which was a great injustice to her.

In Chen Xiaoxu's words, Lin Daiyu is a spiritual girl who can see the life in fallen flowers and respect the flowers as fallen lives.

Lin Daiyu eventually saw through the meaning of love and died with a relieved heart, so Chen Xiaoxu highlighted this sense of relief in her interpretation.

But when Zhang Miaoyi performed the new "Red Mansion", her face was covered with tears and she looked unwilling, without any sense of relief from seeing through love.

In order to highlight her miserable condition, they even made her lips chapped, making her look extremely ugly.

However, under the admiration of the entire crew, Zhang Miaoyi gradually lost herself and even boldly spoke on the mic during the roadshow.

Her understanding of Lin Daiyu was very superficial, and she only saw her rebellious and eccentric side.

She also made fun of Lin Daiyu, saying that she would squander all the family property she brought with her and sing "The Guest" at Baoyu's wedding.

Seeing that she had no respect for the character she played, netizens were immediately shocked, saying that this person did not understand the character at all.

Seeing the malicious comments from netizens, Zhang Miaoyi responded quickly on August 20.

"If you are ignorant, you will be fearless."

She claimed that she would take on the film no matter what. After all, what actor would not be moved when faced with such a classic character?

Although she was prepared to be scolded by netizens for being ugly and superficial, she was still unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Of course, she could not reach the level of Teacher Chen Xiaoxu, who was a great example before her, but she still worked hard to study the script.

To this end, she reiterated that she was familiar with the original work, but how could someone who had read it carefully think that Lin Daiyu was just eccentric?

Finally, she expressed her deepest apologies to director Hu Mei, who had put so much effort into the film but to no avail.

But netizens pointed out mercilessly that she only felt sorry for the director who gave her the role, and did not feel sorry for the audience at all.

Moreover, many netizens think that her appearance is not good and her acting skills are not good. In addition, her malicious use of memes makes the audience dislike her even more.

Zhang Miaoyi, who is simply immersed in self-pity, may never understand why the audience is so pessimistic about her.

Conclusion

Director Hu Mei's new "Red Mansions" has single-handedly brought some recognition to the once-criticized Li Shaohong.

Jiang Mengjie back then was certainly not as good as Lin Daiyu played by Chen Xiaoxu, but she was much better than Zhang Miaoyi today.

Not only does Zhang Miaoyi's acting skills lag behind, but she also makes fun of the character she plays and shows no respect for the character, which is shocking.
