How to evaluate the 10 version of A Dream of Red Mansions directed by Li?

To be fair, the TV series 10 version of A Dream of Red Mansions is much more advanced than the 87 version in film and television technology. Even in concept, there are some improvements: for example, the 87 th edition did not shoot fantasy because it "promoted feudal superstition." Today, this is a pity and ridiculous, and this is an absolute regret.

I think if there is no comparison between version 87 and version 10, version 10 will definitely be criticized, but it is better than the present situation. In other words, the 10 version was criticized largely because of the gap with the 87 version.

Where is the gap? Money, haunted music and laughter like a fox are all different opinions of different people, including rejection and liking. But in role-playing, the gap between 10 version is obvious, and no one can deny it.

It's not which actor looks good and which actor plays well, but the whole. The 87 version of Chen is simply the quasi-reincarnation of Lin Daiyu, and no one can deny it. In fact, Chen's ancient makeup is not particularly beautiful, and some stills are not even comparable to her life photos. Being with Zhang Li makes people feel that "Daiyu is not as beautiful as Baochai". But Chen's temperament is not more like Lin Daiyu among all the actresses I have ever seen.

Later, Kerwin Chen made some films, such as Cousin Mei in Family Spring and Autumn, which is also the image of a desperate woman. But no matter how good the performance is, at first glance, it will still make people feel that "this role is played by Sister Lin."

Such a "stereotype" is unfortunate for actors. But for the drama, it is a blessing. What happened to Chen also happened to many other actors. Basically, except for Deng Jie, the actor of Wang Xifeng, no other actors have any works other than A Dream of Red Mansions.

A play once can be enjoyed for life. In addition to the director's unique views on role selection, it also depends on the efforts of the actors. It is said that the actors studied intensively for a whole year (some people say three years! Some people say a few months. However, during the three-year filming process, the actors never stopped learning and had a deep understanding of ancient culture, etiquette, living habits and costumes. When you actually shoot it, you are not "acting", but "showing" yourself.

We can't deny that the 10 version of A Dream of Red Mansions has made great efforts, but at least, in terms of the actors' grasp of classical culture, it can't be compared with the 87 version. Although it is said that "life is like a play, it depends on acting", but if it is only acting, can this film become a classic?

By the way, although version 87 is classic, it is not without defects, and even there are obvious loopholes in detail handling. For example, Xue Pan killed Pan Feng and brought a book to Beijing. Mrs. Wang read the letter and gave it to Wang Xifeng. But in her works, Mrs. Wang's culture is very low, and she can neither read nor describe. The first half of Wang Xifeng is absolutely illiterate. For example, she joked with Tanchun: "You know how to read, but you don't learn fortune telling?" It was not until the seventy-fourth session of the Grand View Garden that it was written that "Xifeng, as the director in charge, often read posts and accounts and knew a lot of words".

Xifeng, RoyceWong, who has been running the family business for many years, read a few words just by reading the post book. How did she read Xue's letter carefully soon after opening it for the fourth time? Didn't the Xue family send a message, not writing, but drawing cartoons?
