Chapter 427 Filming Begins for "Lust, Caution"

What a convenient statement that weight doesn't matter.

If Lin Daiyu looked like Jia Ling before she lost weight, who wouldn't find it an eyesore!
Excuses are useless. Does Ya Yuan's performance in the drama make the audience think she exists in real life? What is clearly a beautiful relationship is portrayed as a power struggle within a wealthy family.

Cheng Sheng felt that the director was insulting and provoking the audience in terms of aesthetic standards and intelligence.

This version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" lowered the audience's aesthetic standards in every way, from the coin-shaped hairstyle, the eyebrowless makeup, the thin gauze dress, to the eerie music, the gloomy scenes, and the elusive gait.

In the original novel, Jia Rui is a handsome man, but in this version of "Dream of the Red Chamber," Jia Rui's appearance, smile, and behavior are just like those of a sleazy man who frequents brothels, making him unbearable to look at.

Compare the character of Uncle Rui in the 87 TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber".

The characters in the play all look like ghosts, especially Qin Keqing. In the play, the gauze curtains in her room are constantly fluttering, whether it is day or night.

The wind never stopped, and the whole scene had the feel of a horror movie.

Compare it to the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber," which is truly breathtaking.

From the actors' makeup and costumes to the set design and details, every frame is exquisite and beautiful, and every shot is a feast for the eyes.

The overall state of the Jia family mansion is beautiful, and so is the overall state of the actors. It is a state that is close to natural life and is bright and cheerful.

The actors in the drama are all beautiful and highly recognizable. They have a gentle and bright beauty with "eyes shyly closed and lips smiling", as well as a dignified and elegant demeanor with "full and well-proportioned features and thick and bright facial features". They are either fresh and refined, or graceful and noble, or charming and alluring.

The show is full of illogical sentences and phrases, which is an insult to the audience's intelligence.

Zhen Yinglian went missing, which led to Zhen Shiyin's statement that he "almost never contemplated suicide." The teacher told us that a double negative is an affirmation, so does this statement mean "wanted to die" or "did not want to die"?

After drinking some wine, Baoyu leaned against the railing. Qin Keqing asked him, "Uncle Bao, are you tired?" Baoyu replied, "I'm not tired at all, I'm just sleepy."

Tired, tired. We always thought that "tired" and "tired" were together, but who would have thought that this place would tell us that we are not tired, but just sleepy.

There were numerous spelling mistakes. When Jia Lian was chatting with Wang Xifeng and Granny Zhao, he mistakenly read "Jiaofang Juanshu" as "Shufang Juanshu".

Furthermore, the character "趿" in "披衣趿鞋" was read as "及", the phrase "天地钟灵毓秀之德" was punctuated incorrectly as "天地钟灵,毓秀之德", and "猛拼一死" was read as "猛盼一死".

Li Wan misread the "qiong" in "hong gui qiong bing ke xiang si" as "zhe" in "hai jellyfish"; Jia Baoyu misread the "shuo" in "qian gu gao feng dao jin" as "shui"; and the "geng" in "chi ao geng xi gui yin liang" as "jing"; Xiangyun misread "xie shui yin" as "jie shui yin"...

There are many, many more, too numerous to count; this is simply an insult to the audience's intelligence and wisdom.

Furthermore, in terms of etiquette, the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is completely unrestrained and acts as it pleases.

There is no distinction between superiors and inferiors, or between elders and juniors in the play.

In front of Madam Wang, Qingwen could stare directly at her without restraint and sway back and forth as if no one else was around. After drinking at Aunt Xue's house, Daiyu left the table without saying hello. When Daiyu entered the room and saw Madam Wang, she could ignore her completely. Madam Wang, in full view of everyone, actually tickled Baoyu.

During the "Imperial Concubine's Visit to Her Family," men and women stood together, and Jia Lian and others were still able to whisper to each other. When Jia Zheng met the Imperial Concubine, there was no curtain, and the father and daughter even held hands. It was simply laughable.

It has to be said that even with such poor production quality, the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" still has a large following. The director even said that many years later, the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" will become a classic, just like the 87 version.

With so many such comments, Li Shaohong said with great confidence: "The broadcast time of the new version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' is unstable, but the ratings are very high. We are confident in the charm of the new version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' and in our sincere work."

To Li Shaohong's surprise, the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" ended its "journey on satellite TV" after only 25 nights.

Cheng Sheng flipped through another memory in his mind and secretly shook his head. This version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was simply a pile of crap. Although the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was terrible, it was full of beautiful women, most of whom would become popular actresses in the future.

For example: Yang Mi, Zhao Xiaodao, Xu Lu, Zhang Meng, Li Qin, etc.

After discussing news related to "Dream of the Red Chamber," the entertainment channel host went on to talk about other news within the industry, ranging from film and television companies to individual actors.

Most of the news is related to celebrities.

For example, the chapter "The Salted Fish Turns the Tide".

On the Super Boy stage, Zhang Jie's clear and high-pitched voice made him an overnight sensation, and the audience was captivated by his singing.

There's also Li Shuangbing.

She won the Huabiao Award for Best Actress at the Huabiao Awards ceremony, instantly becoming one of the most popular actresses today.

In the complex entertainment industry, Li Shuangbing is neither the most beautiful nor the smartest, but she is the most hardworking.

In addition, there was another news story that directly ignited the entertainment industry.

Filming for "Lust, Caution" has begun.

According to the memories of another world, the original female lead of this movie was Tang Wei, but at this moment, Tang Wei was snatched away by Cheng Sheng and became a member of Shengli Film Company.

Cheng Sheng certainly wouldn't let Tang Wei direct this movie again.

Although this movie will make Tang Wei an overnight sensation, the negative impact will be even greater, making it a poor trade-off.

The current female lead in "Lust, Caution" is a certain Zhao.

Moreover, it was Cheng Sheng who recommended Zhao to play the role.

It can only be said that Zhao is not afraid of being labeled a "stripper" in order to become famous internationally.

The host kept praising the movie "Lust, Caution" and even claimed that Zhao could definitely win one of the three major European awards with this movie.

Cheng Sheng could only purse his lips. Although this film won Best Film at the Venice Film Festival next year, and also won Best Film, Best Director and Best Newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards in Yizhou.

But it has absolutely nothing to do with Zhao.

If Zhao were a newcomer to the industry, he could win the Golden Horse Award for Best New Performer.

Now brag!

After "Lust, Caution" is released, we'll wait and see what happens to Zhao.

If Huang Xiaoming saw Zhao's real fighting scenes in the film, I wonder if he would be able to defend himself.

After all, Huang Xiaoming genuinely liked Zhao, and even made significant sacrifices for him.

He hasn't even kissed the goddess's lips yet, while the male lead in the movie gets to have zero-distance contact with Zhao. Just thinking about Huang Xiaoming's expression when he sees this is kind of funny. (End of this chapter)
