Do you think Li's new Dream of Red Mansions is exquisite?
In 2008, the production base of Beijing Film Studio-Honglou Studio was affectionately called "Dream Team". New Red, which will shine brilliantly on the screen in 2009, has many proud worlds: the first to release artistic modeling drawings, the first to release 3D scenes, the first to shoot and build experimental scenes, the first to hold a global talent show of large-scale TV series, the first to organize the closed training and elimination of top domestic red scientists and artists, and the first to invest huge sums of money to create neo-classical figures.
Modeling design Ye Jintian told reporters that he basically followed the original work in fashion design, but added some fashion elements, but the lack of time and Cao Xueqin's vague description brought difficulties to fashion design: "Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions is vague, with a vague shadow of the Ming Dynasty, but many details are from the Qing Dynasty. Like Jia Baoyu, he wore an arrow sleeve of the Qing Dynasty, but he also wore a crown. Everyone knows that men in the Qing Dynasty shaved their heads. His idea of color is casual: maybe red clothes and green pants. Our biggest problem this time is that we don't have time for textual research, so we have to make a choice in creation: I will deal with it in a more artistic way, not restore it. If it is repaired, it will be a very big project. Each pattern has to be verified by dozens of red scientists, and there is no answer yet. "
According to Ye Jintian, a 4 17 suit designed by A New Dream of Red Mansions, he likes Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai,,, Chun, Miaoyu and so on. But what he is dissatisfied with is the modeling of others and he can't take care of himself. "After all, the main actor 100, the preparation time is not that long. They have been changing the actors and conditions.
Director Li said earlier: "In this shooting, Beijing Film Studio provided nine sheds for the crew to use. As soon as the Spring Festival is over, they will go into the shed to set the scenery, so that they can basically start work at the end of March. "
Now the first draft of A Dream of Red Mansions has been completed, and there are 90 scenes involved in the script. Among them, more than 50 scenes need to be built, and more than 30 scenes will be filmed outdoors, mainly in some houses and temples in the north and south. "In my original ideal, I wanted to shoot all the scenes." Li said to him, "But the pressure is too great. And now the props are under great pressure. " Li said: "A Dream of Red Mansions is an all-encompassing collection of cultural symbols in China, which is more like a sociological work in a sense. It involves eating, living, customs, solar terms, humanities and many other things. "
There are tens of thousands of Taoists involved in A Dream of Red Mansions, many of which are detailed and complicated in the original, which also causes many difficulties in remake. To this end, the crew also mobilized a lot of social resources to solve the problem of props. It is reported that A Dream of Red Mansions was sponsored by imitation porcelain manufacturers, who provided copies of the treasures of the Forbidden City to the Forbidden City. .
Incorporate China's wisdom into every detail
Baochai, who leads the way in the "New Red Mansion" series, is highly praised by clothing research experts and dream lovers for her unique design.
In the past costume dramas, most of the characters and scenes have continued the headdresses and costumes established by film and television dramas for many years, and the dynasty and environmental atmosphere can be known at a glance.
This time, Hong Xin boldly tried the forehead modeling of Kunqu Opera. The clothes are gorgeous, colorful, quaint and beautiful. The scene design breaks through the imagination of the general audience, integrating fantasy with ethereal, ethereal and exquisite as a mirage.
I think modern young people actually like the traditional things in China, but they may also go to see something to identify with the traditional beauty. They may want to go, for example, to see Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera, but these things are actually not only used in its original occasions, but Ye Jintian hopes that they can also be used in movies and TV series.
Huang Nengfu, an 83-year-old professor at Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, is called "the most authoritative clothing expert in China after Shen Congwen". Talking about the forehead makeup of "Chai Chai", Mr. Huang Lao said that modern audiences may feel awkward at first glance, because the popular wig piece in China opera evolved from the forehead makeup, which has a certain historical origin: "The forehead makeup refers to the modification of the forehead or beard. Frontal makeup is a very important part of ancient women's makeup. The positive makeup of each era has its own characteristics of the times, and different eras have different names. According to historical records, there are several kinds of Buddha makeup, smart forehead and film. "
Leave precious spiritual wealth for the remake of classic works.
? The design of the new red dance beauty embodies the wisdom of China people, and has formed many independent innovations from structural design to new materials, from makeup modeling to photo shooting. With the innovative spirit of climbing the peak, a large number of innovative designs, such as "Hongyiyuan" and "Forehead Makeup", have changed from a grand blueprint to a stunning reality, and left an extremely wonderful page in the history of China TV dramas.
As the No.1 Project of the New Red School, the independent innovation achievement "Retro Front Makeup" formed in the process of "figure modeling" has filled the blank in the world modeling field. In costume TV series, it is also unique.
In the construction of the new red scene, new standards and technologies with the brand of China are constantly emerging, including large-scale studios, 3D scene design, colorful exhibition halls, exquisite lighting applications, and photographic composition, all of which are required and completed according to the standards of blockbusters.
Li, director of the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions, said that not all female characters in the play use forehead makeup, which is only available to "house girls" and is a symbol of status. For example, social class figures such as maids like Xiren and Pinger don't need forehead makeup. And the design of "forehead makeup" is not a whim. She revealed that she was also shocked when Ye Jintian put forward the design scheme. "However, these shapes are really in line with our original intention of giving the new TV series Dream of Red Mansions a new meaning, making Cao Xueqin's original work' true and false' and creating an artistic atmosphere in the popular culture of TV series." At first, the crew gave up the style of bangs, because bangs were a modern dress that appeared after the Republic of China, and smart forehead and film were first used by the ladies of China's ancient bureaucratic families to correct their faces and tie their hair. "We have borrowed from the classical style, which is not just a random idea, but has its historical basis and source of life."
Hong Xin's crew relied on the wisdom of all aspects, and Qi Xin worked together to tackle key problems and carry out the spirit of innovation, thus forming a bright spot of "retro aestheticism" and independent innovation, which is very commendable. Maintaining and carrying forward this spirit of independent innovation will play a greater role in future cultural and artistic creation and even economic and social construction.
Can it not be exquisite?
