Chapter 1292 Solving the Problem
Yin Jun really didn't say any polite words.
As for "Dream of Red Mansions", whether it is Jiashi's version or TVB's version, they all have a bit of a romance style.
In terms of the sophistication of the script, the training of the actors, and the form of expression, it can only be viewed as a TV series for entertainment.
Let’s talk briefly about the actors.
They can only choose actors based on the script, rather than based on the actor to see which role he or she is suitable for.
If there are really no suitable actors, then it is entirely possible to improvise.
Therefore, Yin Jun, who has watched the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", is not used to watching Jiashi's version.
People who are used to eating delicious meals naturally have a much higher demand for taste.
You may occasionally eat light side dishes, but that doesn't mean that light side dishes will satisfy you.
Think about our tender brother Bao, think about the beautiful and picturesque Sister Lin, and then think about that unruly and charming Feng Lazi... Tsk tsk, that's a good one!
Yin Jun, who doesn't like watching tragedies, has watched "A Dream of Red Mansions" several times.
Such a beautiful "Dream of Red Mansions" cannot be easily shot.
As early as three years ago, Wang Fulin proposed the idea of filming "A Dream of Red Mansions", and then last year China Television held a special meeting to discuss how to write a script.
Before "Dream of Red Mansions" was filmed, there were actually many versions in the academic community.
The first one is of course the version that everyone is familiar with, that is, the next forty chapters written by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E. This is also the most authoritative one, basically not much different from the instructions and annotations of Zhi Yanzhai.
But there is another version that is relatively familiar. It is completely different from the one above. What is written next is another happy ending.
Here, Baoyu finally won the election and revived the Jia family. Everyone got a good ending.
Of course, the latter version, in current parlance, is pure YY, has no practical significance at all, and completely deviates from Cao Xueqin’s original intention.
Because of his life experience and destiny, this great talent who defied heaven and earth and defied the world had written with the intention of killing everyone from the very beginning.
In the fifth chapter of Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin's own version clearly reveals this extremely tragic ending.
"Those who are officials will have their fortunes withered; those who are rich will have all their gold and silver; those who are kind will escape death; those who are ruthless will have clear retribution; those who owe life will have their lives repaid; those who owe tears will have all their tears. Repaying injustice is not true. Lightness, separation and reunification are all determined in advance. If you want to know that life is short, ask about the past life, and it is really lucky to be rich in old age. Those who see through it, escape into Buddhism; those who are obsessed, lose their lives in vain. It is like a bird that has eaten all its food and throws it into the forest, falling into pieces. The vast land is so clean!”
Look!
The vast white land is so clean!
What a terrifying ending.
Therefore, Gao Wei and Cheng Weiyuan collected so much information and wrote the final forty chapters. It cannot be considered perfect, but it can be regarded as a barely acceptable version.
Why is that kind of YY version of family fortune being passed down and still loved by so many people?
Aren’t ordinary people in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, all the same, expecting the best and the Dzogchen solution to everything?
In this regard, Yin Jun can only say that you really think too much.
Not to mention Cao Xueqin, didn't even Grandpa Jin Yong create a dragon knight?
Do you dare to say that this is not because Jin Yong has loved Xia Meng all his life, so he did this deliberately to vent his anger?
Okay, that's a tangent.
In order to make the TV series script reasonable, Huaxia TV and a group of red experts were constantly discussing and writing the script, and revised it one after another while filming. They started editing in 1983 and it was not completely finalized until 1986.
It took dozens of famous celebrities nearly four years to write a TV drama script, which is completely unimaginable in future generations.
For later TV drama scripts, the main writer set the tone, and three or five small writers began to work hard to fill in the content. It was normal to complete it in three months. It is not impossible to complete it in one month if it is faster. If it is slower, it is not impossible. Four or five months at most.
There is no way, it is an era where time is money. Everyone is in a hurry to get started and film movies to make money, while ignoring many factors that the script itself should have.
Later, most of the reasons for the failure of movies and TV series, especially movies, were that you didn’t write the story well. No matter how many performances and special effects, what’s the use?
"Dream of Red Mansions" is different. Its script cannot be overstated as being refined.
With such a good script and actors who are not tainted with worldly atmosphere, it is just right.
However, this is not all good.
Most of the actors in "Dream of Red Mansions" are most appropriately described as "reaching their peak as soon as they debut" and "ending their acting careers with one peak".
Including the most outstanding Brother Bao, Sister Lin, Baochai, etc., this is the case.
In the end, Sister Lin never came out, causing her to die early, which is really sad.
That is to say, the actor who plays Feng Lazi is living a good life. He is married to Zhang Guoli from Mainland F4. The couple's TV drama business is very prosperous and prosperous.
…
While Yin Jun was recalling and sighing, Wang Fulin had already begun to talk about the preparations for "A Dream of Red Mansions" and various preparations.
"We plan to select young actors across the country, not just those who have graduated from vocational schools. As long as they are talented and capable actors, we can use them to give them a try." Wang Fulin talked eloquently, "The benefits of this That is, we can find the most suitable characters for "Dream of Red Mansions" to the greatest extent, so that if we perform it, it will definitely be more realistic."
"Do you want to sign a contract?" Yin Jun suddenly interrupted and asked.
"Contract?" Wang Fulin thought for a moment and understood, "Of course you have to sign a work contract. We are very formal."
"That's not what I said." Yin Jun said calmly, "Are you ready to draw up the actors' breach of contract penalties?"
"ah?"
Wang Fulin said blankly, "What breach of contract did they have?"
"For example, what should I do if I just take a picture and leave?" Yin Jun asked.
"How is that possible? Why would they leave if they were fine?" Wang Fulin didn't understand.
Because your conditions are poor!
Because of your hard work in filming!
Because there are a lot of nouveau riche wandering around the set, hooking up with girls!
Therefore, many actors in "Dream of Red Mansions" were replaced midway through the filming. It is a common thing to change actors during filming.
This is a big regret for Yin Jun, a person with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
You said, how good would it be for you guys to calm down a little and finish filming a movie from beginning to end before talking about other things?
If Wang Fulin and others hadn't worked very hard to repair it, I'm afraid the classic would have been ruined by selfish actors like you!
Yin Jun complained in his heart without stopping, "There are many cases where actors stop acting midway due to various reasons. Since it is a serious filming, there must be strict rules for them, and they cannot quit the crew at will. Otherwise, who should bear the losses?"
Ruan Nuolin listened and agreed very much, "I think this is okay. We will study it after we get back and we can restrain them."
"Set the compensation amount higher so that they don't dare to do whatever they want." Yin Jun reminded, "The filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a very serious matter. They cannot be allowed to have childish ideas and must be taken seriously."
Hearing Yin Jun's words, Wang Fulin wanted to say something, but he quickly shut up.
This is really true!
Such a serious TV series must be taken seriously by everyone.
Although the things people in Xiangjiang do are a bit cumbersome, this is still worthy of praise.
Little did Wang Fulin know that Yin Jun was solving a big problem for him.
As long as the liability for breach of contract of actors is greatly increased, those actresses who want to run away with the rich will have to think about it.
Unless you are going abroad, you will definitely not be able to escape your responsibilities.
In order to avoid being caught by the police, or to avoid paying hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in compensation, they must have made a choice in their hearts.
No matter how much I want to fly, I still have to wait until the filming of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is completed.
With such a good start, when Wang Fulin talked about his plans, Yin Jun listened carefully and nodded from time to time. This attitude made both Wang Fulin and Ruan Nuolin happy.
Sure enough, when Wang Fulin finished speaking, Yin Jun immediately said: "I probably know what you mean. If such a TV series requires the participation of Qilin Group, I would be honored. I don't know how much money you need?"
"us……"
Before Wang Fulin could finish his words, he was preempted by Ruan Nuolin, "Master Jun, it's like this. We think there are several characters in it that are suitable for Miss He Qin and Miss Tao Huimin. Do you want any in Xiangjiang? Actors, do you hope to be a part of it?”
"Oh, He Qin and Tao Huimin, they can go." Yin Jun was slightly stunned, and then said cheerfully, "Thank you for considering roles for them, but forget about the ones in Xiangjiang, they will not adapt to the filming environment in the mainland. of."
He Qin originally participated in the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", but it was not the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", but the 1988 movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions", starring Qin Keqing.
Now that Ruan Nuolin is so sensible, she took the initiative to let He Qin join the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions". She will definitely not be dismissed just because she has a small role. This is a good thing.
As for the actors in Xiangjiang, if you want them to stay on the same crew for three to five years, you might as well kill them.
Not every actor in Xiangjiang is called Leslie Cheung.
Since they are so sensible, Yin Jun can't say that he doesn't know how to repay, "Well, let's make a budget. Since "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" are both good works of our ancestors, we can't be careless. Treated. In addition to money, clothing is also very important, right? The Kirin Group also sponsored it!"
"Really?" Wang Fulin blurted out.
"Are there any fake ones?" Yin Jun laughed, "It's just like "Journey to the West", we will recycle these clothes in the future and put them in the museum for future generations to see... Do you have any objections?"
"No, no! This is a great idea!"
Wang Fulin and Ruan Nuolin were overjoyed.
I thought it would be best if I could get 5 million, which would solve the big problem.
Unexpectedly, Yin Jun actually said that it can be compared with "Journey to the West"!
And it’s not just money, even the clothing Kirin Group can sponsor it. This is great news!
The costumes in "Dream of Red Mansions" are notoriously complicated and notoriously complicated.
If you want to restore it, you will have to spend a lot of money.
But the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" didn't have that much money at all.
Now that Yin Jun is willing to help, he must ask the masters from the Textile Department of the Forbidden City to help, but that will require too much care.
In this way, the results will be completely different, and it will definitely be an unforgettable classic!
