Why didn t director Wang Fulin choose Zhang Jinglin to play Lin Daiyu?

Speaking of the old version of "Dream of Red Mansions", director Wang Fulin has a particularly unique vision, and the personality characteristics of each actor he selected are particularly in line with the characters in the play, which meets our imagination of the characters in the original work. When it comes to "Dream of Red Mansions", what comes to our eyes is the image of each actor in the 87 version. At that time, the selected actors came to Beijing to participate in the Red Chamber training class, listen to the lectures of red experts, analyze and study the original works, write character biographies, and then carry out the second phase of training, that is, rehearse sketches, which is the key link in the selection of actors by director Wang Fulin.

In this link, director Wang Fulin advocates the view of "actors and characters fall in love", which role you think is suitable for, then, you choose which role, make a sketch, and perform the show to the director. If the director thinks you are suitable, then you become a candidate for the role, and after becoming a candidate, of course, you still have to continue to rehearse the sketch, and the director has to choose the most suitable actor for the role from these candidates. If the director feels that you are not suitable for this role, then your "love" will fail, and then you will find a suitable role again, and then "fall in love" again.

That's it until the actor finds a role that suits him.

Zhang Jinglin was born in an artistic family and has a high talent for acting, and was admitted to the ** Academy of Drama and studied under Zhang Junqiu. When the crew of the Red Mansion was looking for actors, they were recommended by the teacher to come to the crew. She has strong acting ability, high understanding, and beautiful appearance, and when she came to the crew, she was a candidate for Lin Daiyu and a strong competitor of Chen Xiaoxu.

In terms of appearance, Zhang Jinglin is slightly better than Chen Xiaoxu, but Chen Xiaoxu has a poet's temperament, and her melancholy temperament is something that Zhang Jinglin does not have. Wang Fulin considered it again and again, and chose Chen Xiaoxu to play Lin Daiyu and Zhang Jinglin to play Qingwen. After all, "Qing is the shadow of Daiying, and the attack is the deputy of the hairpin", think about it, Yuan Mei, the actor who attacked the people, was also a candidate for Xue Baochai at one time.

Zhang Jinglin is very healthy and lively, without Daiyu's melancholy temperament, but he played Qingwen alive and liked her Jingwen very much.

Because Zhang Jinglin couldn't show Lin Daiyu's image well during the audition, he had to change the actor.

Because he thinks that Zhang Jinglin's performance level needs to be further improved, and his character does not match Lin Daiyu's character in the play, it is difficult to play Lin Daiyu alive.

Because he thinks that Zhang Jinglin's temperament is not quite in line with Lin Daiyu's temperament, not weak enough, and delicate and beautiful.

Maybe the director still thinks that Zhang Jinglin is not suitable for the role of Lin Daiyu, because she still has high requirements for the role in her play.

Because the director saw Chen Xiaoxu's sentimentality in her heart and her courage to recommend herself, these two points are completely in line with Lin Daiyu's temperament, and Chen Xiaoxu is very confident and firmly believes that she is Lin Daiyu, which is enough to make people enter the play.

Chen Xiaoxu's temperament is similar to Lin Daiyu in the book "Dream of Red Mansions". Director Wang Fulin fell in love with Chen Xiaoxu at a glance and thought that she could play the role of Lin Daiyu. And Chen Xiaoxu did it. The Lin Daiyu she played is Lin Daiyu in the minds of many people

Because he found that although Chen Xiaoxu's external conditions are not very good, she has the shadow of Lin Daiyu in her bones, and she also understands Lin Daiyu very well, so she will definitely be able to play Lin Daiyu.

Because the director feels that Chen Xiaoxu is Lin Daiyu herself, she is the only one who is suitable for the role of Lin Daiyu.
