A comparison between the old and new A Dream of Red Mansions

It is interesting to compare the two versions of A Dream of Red Mansions, because the time difference is 20 years. Twenty years ago, CCTV was just a news unit, with no production department, audience stage department, lighting department and props department. Now it is the boss of everything. At that time, only 750,000 yuan was spent on the scenery, and now it is nearly 65.438+0 billion yuan. However, no amount of money can deny that the 87th version of Dream of Red Mansions is a classic fact, and the new version of Dream of Red Mansions needs time to verify.

Modeling:

The new version of A Dream of Red Mansions was criticized by many people from the beginning. This reason boils down to the fact that the old version of A Dream of Red Mansions is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and another reason is that the modeling of the old version is more based on the description in the book. Although the new edition has studied a lot of history, it is always preconceived. Aside from these, the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions is at least exquisite.

Lao Baoyu: The Male Dan of China Opera

In terms of clothing, the old edition focuses on Jia Baoyu's gorgeous playboy image, no matter the crown on his head, the sleeve of an arrow and the amount of his forehead, as described in the original work. But now it seems that this image is a bit too dramatic, as if Jia Baoyu is doing a "drama" instead of a TV series.

Old Daiyu: Illness is beauty.

Clothing color is mainly light, mainly white, blue and pink. Clothing patterns are not so complicated, such as tacky tying branches and tying knots. Plum blossoms and orchids are the main schemes, and expensive and light fabrics such as yarn, silk, silk and yarn are used as fabrics, which well shows the lightness and elegance of the characters.

The old version of Baochai: Lady

Noble, atmospheric and plump. The color of the clothes is dark, because the identity of the character is a good girl in the boudoir, so the colors such as scarlet (blog), golden yellow, rose purple, magenta, goose yellow and off-white are both soft and luxurious. There are silk, silk, pure cotton, silk and yarn on the fabric.

Xin Baoyu: a healthy baby

The new Baoyu robe, red cloak and accessories hung around his waist. Different from the old design, that piece of Baoyu is not hung on the chest, but on the upper side near the neck. According to Ye Jintian's idea, it is mainly to show Baoyu's healthy image.

New Daiyu: Tsing Yi

Like the previously exposed atmospheric map, the color and dress of the modeling map are very strange. Lin Daiyu's face is pale, her eyebrows are faint, and with wavy makeup spots on her forehead, she looks like Tsing Yi without makeup removal. The plain tulle dress looks layered and has flowers on her head.

The new version of Baochai: White Snake

Take "forehead makeup" for example, the color of clothes is cold, and even the hair accessories are white. In terms of modeling, Ye Jintian still followed the clothing style dominated by white, but added gray and black lines on this basis. He felt that this time, Xue Baochai had the trust of most people in Jiafu, and her reason and shrewdness emerged from a thin layer of white gauze.

All the carvings in the room are carved by craftsmen, with exquisite and complicated hollowed-out patterns, and they are all carved from solid wood, gold-plated and mahogany, which is extremely luxurious. Even the lanterns in the room are decorated with coral and jade. On Grandmother Jia's luxurious couch, there are a pair of antique screens worth millions. And a few pieces of jade ornaments casually placed in the guest room are also worth hundreds of thousands. "They are all lent to us by collectors or rented from antique companies."

adapt to

The 36 episodes of the old Dream of Red Mansions, the first 29 episodes are basically faithful to Cao Xueqin's original works, and the last 7 episodes don't need a sequel by Gao E. Instead, it reconstructs the ending of this tragic story according to the foreshadowing of the first 80 episodes and the research results of A Dream of Red Mansions for many years. At that time, after the TV series was broadcast, it caused a lot of controversy. People think that the last seven episodes are not long enough. Some people say that "except for Tan Chun's long marriage, everything else is like watching a slide show".

New version:

The story of the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions is based on the popular 120 stories of A Dream of Red Mansions, and the adaptation of the last 40 stories respects Gao E's original works. Jia Baoyu's "switch plan" when he got married and Lin Daiyu's death will be completely and fully explained. In addition, for the treatment of adapting Jia Baoyu into a beggar in the old edition, the new edition will respect the original work, which is a picture of Jia Baoyu becoming a monk wearing a red carpet and worshiping Jia Zheng in the snow.
