Use the old model to determine the role
The new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was jointly invested and produced by China Film Group Corporation and Beijing Luhuaina Film and Television Co., Ltd., and jointly compiled by authoritative organizations such as China Television Artists Association and Dream of Red Mansions Research Institute of China Academy of Art. Yesterday, the producer held a press conference to announce the work schedule: The actors were selected from March to September this year; Go to 1 1 in September to train actors and determine their roles; Actual shooting from February 65438 to July 2007; Post-production from August to 65438+February; It was officially broadcast in mid-2008. Lu Baihua, a person in charge surnamed Luo, said that the announcement of the schedule is to let the audience and the media supervise the filming work, and the crew should not delay. He said: "Nearly 50 actors, including Twelve Chai of Jinling and Jia Baoyu, will be selected from the newcomers. Later, following the idea of Wang Fulin, director of A Dream of Red Mansions in 1987, a red scientist will be invited to train the actors for three months. The new version will use a lot of computer stunts and will not take pictures in the Grand View Garden. "

Take 120 copy as the base copy.
There was news of a remake at the Expo three years ago. Why was it officially launched yesterday? Teacher Luo explained that the remake of A Dream of Red Mansions has gone through many links, such as the discussion of red scientists, the questioning of the media, the determination of the screenwriter and the contact of the director. "A Dream of Red Mansions, 1987, a TV series directed by Wang Fulin, is a recognized masterpiece. At that time, the script was adapted from the first 80 chapters of Cao Xueqin's novel A Dream of Red Mansions and the last 40 chapters. This remake, after a year of argumentation and preparation, the producer decided to take A Dream of Red Mansions 120 (published by People's Literature Publishing House) annotated by the Dream of Red Mansions Institute of the Chinese Academy of Art as the creative basis, and Huang Yazhou, the famous playwright and vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, served as the screenwriter. " Mr. Luo said that the adaptation of the script is painstaking. Huang Yazhou finished a 40-episode literary play in early 2003. After a year's argumentation, a red scientist pointed out that the remake of A Dream of Red Mansions is of far-reaching significance, hoping that the script can show the original content to the maximum extent, and requires proper re-selection and re-enrichment of the script. Subsequently, Huang Yazhou expanded the 10 episode on the basis of 40 episodes, and by the end of 2003, he had completed 50 episodes of literary plays.
be in charge of/supervisor
Chen Kaige hasn't signed a contract with the film.
With the script, actors can choose. When will Director Chen Kaige "practice"? In this regard, the producer actually asked the reporter: "Where do you start?" Teacher Luo said that Chen Kaige did express his desire to shoot A Dream of Red Mansions at the beginning, and thought it was the director's great luck to be exposed to A Dream of Red Mansions in this life. "But he didn't sign any contract with us, so he is not suitable as a director. However, Chen Kaige is one of the founding members and can propose to modify the script. "
It is understood that the choice of directors is difficult. In the two years after the first draft of the script was completed, the producer contacted the director while revising the script, but it was never decided. There are still five or six people reading the script at present. Mr. Luo said: "We have been in contact for a long time and even found a director from Hong Kong and Taiwan. At first, everyone was very willing, but when we met again half a year later, more than half of them retreated. Hong Kong and Taiwan can't stand the constraint of "no jokes, no legends", and mainlanders are used to watching commercial dramas and can't calm down. It's really a headache. "
However, the producers are not in a hurry. Teacher Luo said that the script has been tossed for three years and simmered slowly. The longer the time, the stronger the taste. "But the director can cook the pot earlier, and don't wait for the actors to decide before stewing the pot of good meat." .
It is difficult for Chen Kaige to be the director of the new Asian cast of A Dream of Red Mansions.
February 6, 2006 10: 19 Oriental Morning Post
The new TV series Dream of Red Mansions, which has attracted much attention from all walks of life, has gone through a long preparation period of more than four years. Recently, the producer of the drama officially announced that the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions will be fully launched in March this year, ready to start shooting at the end of this year and broadcast on CCTV in 2008.
The cast expanded to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
At present, the script has been basically finalized, but no matter whether the remake is successful or not, the crew will bet on the actors. Luo Liping, who played Jia Qiang in the old TV series A Dream of Red Mansions, is now one of the producers of the new version. He said: "The actor must be a newcomer. We selected actors from March to September this year, decided the roles from September to 165438+ 10, and started shooting in 65438+February. " It is reported that the scope of this actor selection is not limited to China, but will also be extended to Japanese, Korean, Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai and other regions with Chinese. The preparatory group is also preparing to make the actor selection process into a series of special programs. After the actors were selected, actor training began in September for three months, which is also the old method of 1987 following the old version of A Dream of Red Mansions. 65438+started shooting in February 2006, and the post-production is expected to be completed in February 2007.
Director Chen Kaige is unlikely.
Chen Kaige once said that he wanted to shoot a Dream of Red Mansions, and thought it was the director's great luck to meet it in his life. However, as filming is just around the corner, Chen Kaige has not signed a contract with the producer, and producer Luo Liping also said that it is unlikely that Chen Kaige will be the director. He said: "We have been in contact with the director for a long time and even found a director from Hong Kong and Taiwan. At first, everyone was very willing, but when we met again half a year later, more than half of them retreated. Hong Kong and Taiwan directors can't stand the shackles of "no jokes, no legends", while mainland directors are used to commercial dramas and can't calm down. At present, there are seven or eight directors reading the script, but we ask to sign a contract with the director. Once you sign the contract, you will invest in this crew within two years, and you will not be able to pick up other dramas, which will cause huge economic losses. Therefore, it is unlikely that Chen Kaige will be a director, but he is one of our main creations, participating in pre-production and making suggestions for script revision. "
Most of the investment of 654.38 billion yuan is used for landscaping.
Lu Baihua Na Company, which has produced historical dramas such as Hanwu Emperor, Zhenguan Zhi Zhi and Zhu Yuanzhang, will jointly create a brand-new TV series Dream of Red Mansions and 10 digital movies with China Film and China Television Artists Association. The remake of A Dream of Red Mansions will cost 1 100 million yuan, which is unprecedented for a TV series. So where will this 1 100 million yuan go? Luo Liping said: "For TV dramas, we are prepared to invest 60 million yuan; 10 digital film investment 40 million. " Luo Liping also said that in this 654.38 billion yuan, post-disaster reconstruction accounted for a large part. He believes that the new edition is a new concept and consciousness. From today's point of view, Beijing Grand View Garden is still far from their requirements. "We will rebuild the scenery, build a film and television base like the Grand View Garden, and make better use of the current computer special effects to make a beautiful version of A Dream of Red Mansions. Where this film and television base is built is still unknown. " In addition, computer stunts will also consume some funds. The 2008 version of A Dream of Red Mansions is different from the 1987 version, and computer animation technology will be widely used. According to the investor's explanation, because many scenes in A Dream of Red Mansions are difficult to reproduce, even the real scenes can't be satisfied, so computer animation is considered to improve the indoor scenery.
