An overkill drama series is illustrated.
Qian Nairong, a professor of Chinese Department of Shanghai University, said in an interview with the media that the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions was shot in full accordance with 120 volumes of A Dream of Red Mansions annotated by the Dream of Red Mansions Institute of Chinese Academy of Art. In fact, watching the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions is equivalent to watching the original on TV. For example, after Baoyu was beaten, Mrs. Wang told Aron about the difficulty of disciplining Baoyu, and said, "I often break my tongue and persuade him, scold him, and cry." At that time, he was still fine, but later it was irrelevant and he lost money. " This is the exact words, but it is difficult for TV viewers to understand. If you have to rely on subtitles or even guess from the context to understand the dialogue, the viewing effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
The classical Chinese lines in the new Dream of Red Mansions make the audience look a little tired, but they are not as unbearable as the ubiquitous "Tang Priest" narrative. The narration that appears every five minutes on average annoys the audience, and some plays that can be understood at a glance seem awkward after narration. Some netizens said that the people in the picture are chatting while walking, but there is always a baritone telling a story, almost rereading the original text, which makes people who want to watch TV dramas feel very annoyed. "I can't concentrate on the picture, because the narration and soundtrack are non-stop. I just forgot my listening and speaking books. " Netizen "KISSMM" said.
Overkill the Red Mansion and turn it into a serial studio.
Different from copying the original, the innovation of the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions is mainly used in music and editing, but the audience doesn't seem to buy it. They think that the music of Kunqu Opera is extremely ghostly and "very gloomy", while some viewers directly sigh that "it is simply a ghost version of a dream of red mansions, especially the background music, which gives me goose bumps". Some people even commented with a smile: "The soundtrack is too wordy. For example, when Baoyu dreamed of entering the police fantasy fairyland and watching the picture album "Twelve Women in the Red Chamber", a series of haunting Kunqu operas were particularly dark and confusing.
People who overcorrect are "small steps forward"
Avant-garde and alternative editing techniques and music in the play have the same fate, not only being snapped wildly, but also causing great "laughter" Especially the characters in the play often use fast forward when walking. For example, when a group of people walk through the yard, a fast-forward lens will suddenly appear, so that the characters will suddenly fly from one end to the other, or the foreground will be fixed on someone, and the people around them will drift by vaguely. This erratic style is not only unacceptable, but also called "Lingbo micro-step". Combined with the music of Kunqu opera, it confirms the audience's evaluation: "It's like a ghost film."
The overcorrected "grandma" became a "mother"
In the early stage of the story, the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions uses young actors, which is better than the old version, but it is also overkill. The audience saw a huge contrast in the choice of roles, allowing actors older than their grandparents to play their parents. Especially Mrs. Wang, although she is Li's "magic weapon", she is not like a teenager's mother at all, but more like her grandmother.
Expert comment: Very embarrassing.
Netizens are constantly controversial. What do experts think? Recently, the famous Redology scholars have expressed some preliminary views, which are mixed, but the color of disappointment is stronger.
Deng Suifu, director of the China Red Cross Society, said that although he had not finished reading the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions, only from the parts he had seen, "many places felt uncomfortable". Deng Suifu said frankly: "From my aesthetic point of view, I don't like this style very much. Copper coin heads appeared on the stage of China ancient operas, and most of them were costumes used by actors dressed as women. However, if you look at the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions carefully, it is already a very lively play. How can it be made into a traditional opera? "
Zhang Fang, a professor of Chinese Department of Sichuan University who has studied A Dream of Red Mansions for many years, bluntly said that the first few episodes of the new edition were full of loopholes. "The director and the producer are too immature. I hope the latter part will be better. Very loyal to the original, which is its advantages and disadvantages. As a film and television creation, it is completely different from text reading. I think the director pursues the effect of words too much, and the visual effect of film and television is not as good as the old version. " When asked about his favorite version, Professor Zhang bluntly said, "Of course, it's version 87. The 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions has stronger visual art, higher cultural quality of actors and deeper involvement in the play. The director of the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions is not as aesthetic as director Wang Fulin. "
Cai Yijiang was hired as a special consultant by the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions to give lectures to the actors of A Dream of Red Mansions. "I have been there once, only once, and I will never go again." Cai Yijiang on the other end of the phone is still a little proud. "Teenage actors don't know anything. They can listen to good stories, but if they talk about deeper theories, they don't listen to anything. " Cai Yijiang said that the academia has not reached a basic understanding of A Dream of Red Mansions, which determines that there will be various problems in the script. "If there is something wrong with the script, why talk about making a TV series?"
Although Xiling Xue, a special consultant of the crew and a researcher of folk dreams, was cautious, she euphemistically expressed some shortcomings and thought that the director was "overcorrecting".
Xiling Xue speculated that director Li Shaohong wanted to present the original work completely and attentively, but he worked too hard. The director still abandons the TV language and uses the usual artistic techniques, but the traces are too heavy, giving the audience the impression that she is still repeating her expression techniques in the poem "Daming Palace" and "Orange is Red". However, the life background of a declining family in A Dream of Red Mansions is obviously different from that of the Republic of China in Orange Water Red, and the extravagance in Daming Palace is also different.
Director's response: Don't be too serious.
Li, the director who was busy editing the last episodes of the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions yesterday, admitted that she had expected it, but she said, "The experts of A Dream of Red Mansions had already reviewed it before we handed it in." Regarding the controversial ghost music, Li said that he chose Kunqu opera because it "is closest to the feeling of A Dream of Red Mansions". As for the characters in the play, Li said that Jiafu is a deep house compound with frequent access. "But we can't delete many pictures. For example, when the actors enter the door, the switching shots are incoherent, so we use the current fast shots. The audience questioned because they didn't like it. After all, TV dramas rarely use this method. " Li said that although A Dream of Red Mansions is a masterpiece, "people should not take it too seriously".
The new Dream of Red Mansions was pirated on the Internet, and the copyright party wanted to sue the pirated website.
Although the online premiere of the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions was stopped, there have been a lot of piracy on the Internet. Although the copyright owner Sun urgently announced seven pirated websites the day before yesterday, he said that he would file a lawsuit against these websites. However, the reporter found yesterday that "The New Red Chamber" can still be watched through other websites.
The new version of A Dream of Red Mansions premiered on the ground channel of Qingdao TV Station on the evening of 24th of this month. The next morning 1, the first episode of the HD version appeared on the Internet, with considerable hits. According to the words QTV 1 in the upper left corner of the network screen, it is suspected that the source of Qingdao TV station has leaked. After many inquiries, the reporter learned that Qingdao local TV station has its own network TV station, and "New Red House" was broadcast on Qingdao TV station and also logged into the network TV station. But in order to protect copyright, only Qingdao local users can watch this network TV station.
Based on this, the producer speculated that it is very likely that netizens "invaded" the network channel of Qingdao TV Station for the first time by changing the IP address, and downloaded and transmitted the play to other websites. Previous popular dramas, such as the new version of the Three Kingdoms, all had the phenomenon of online piracy, but most of them recorded TV pictures or DVDs. Like "The New Red Chamber", there are very few sources directly collected from the network under the TV station, so the definition of online piracy is also very good.
The day before yesterday, Sun Company, which owns the exclusive information network communication copyright of "The New Red Chamber", announced seven pirated websites, including Pippi. Com and Youyou Cinema, and said that in addition to suing these websites for setting claims, it will also take joint action against advertisers who insert piracy.
