In 1985, actor Jin Lili, who played Jia Yingchun in "Dream of Red Mansions", had to withdraw from the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" because she was going to study in Chinese opera.
After Jin Lili left, Wang Fulin, the chief director of "Dream of Red Mansions", gave a death order to Mr. Xia Minghui, who played Mrs. Xing:
"Within three days, we must find someone to replace Jin Lili to play the role of Yingchun!"
After Mr. Xia Minghui received the task, it only took two days to pull a girl who had just come out of shopping in a shopping mall to the crew of the Red Mansion on the streets of Chengdu.
It turns out that this girl is more suitable for playing the Spring Festival than Jin Lili, and she has created the classic "Ermu" Spring Festival image on the big screen.
When you watch the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", have you noticed that there are actually two actors who play the role of Yingchun in the play.
The first actor to play the role of Yingchun is Jin Lili, a girl from Hangzhou.
In 1983, when she learned that the directors of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" were choosing locations in Hangzhou, Jin Lili mustered up the courage to participate in the audition.
Jin Lili has liked singing and dancing since she was a child, she sang a song during the interview, and within a few days, she received a call from the Red Mansion crew asking her to participate in the interview again.
On the day of the interview, there were a lot of people in the director team, which made Jin Lili very nervous all of a sudden, and her body and language were very stiff when performing the sketch.
But after Director Wang Fulin heard Jin Lili's performance, he said:
"She has a good image, she is a person who has entered Jiafu, since she is performing Mune, let her play Ermu to welcome the spring!"
In this way, Jin Lili successfully entered the crew of the Red Mansion.
During a chat with the crew, Jin Lili learned that if she became a professional actor, the school would be able to solve her rural hukou problem.
So, Jin Lili studied while filming, and finally successfully passed the Chinese opera.
But there are rules in Chinese opera: "If you want to go to school, you can't continue to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions"!"
For the sake of her future, Jin Lili thought about it again and again, and finally cried goodbye to all the members of the crew and went to study in Chinese opera.
After Jin Lili withdrew, Teacher Xia Minghui received the arduous task of "looking for candidates for Spring Festival within three days".
At that time, the crew of the Red Mansion was filming in Chengdu, and the anxious teacher Xia Minghui rode a bicycle all day long to cast on the streets of Chengdu.
Only two days later, Mr. Xia Minghui was on the streets of Chengdu and saw a girl locking her bicycle.
This girl's name is Mu Yi, and she is very similar to Jin Lili in terms of height and size.
Teacher Xia Minghui's eyes lit up when he saw Mu Yi, and he hurriedly stepped forward to talk to her:
"Girl, I'm from the Dream of Red Mansions crew, I think your image is very suitable for a role in the play, if you want, you will go to the crew for an interview tomorrow!"
Mu Yi was shocked when he heard this, and he was afraid that the other party was a liar, so he went home and discussed it with his parents.
Mu Yi's parents thought that Teacher Xia Minghui was a woman and there should be no problem, so they encouraged their daughter to give it a try.
The next day, Mu Yi went to the crew for an interview, and Director Wang Fulin felt that she had the dull temperament of "Ermu", so he decided to let her play Yingchun on the spot.
Coincidentally, when Mu Yi was discovered by Xia Minghui, she had just finished buying socks for her friend and came out of the Hongqi shopping mall.
Unexpectedly, because of a pair of socks, a classic screen image was excavated.
Before Mu Yi joined the group for filming, he was a staff member in the labor department of Chengdu Automobile Transport Company, and he had no acting experience.
In order to let Mu Yi enter the play as soon as possible, Director Wang gave Mr. Li Jie, who played Jia Yu in the play, a big problem:
"Within three days, teach her to act!"
After Mr. Li Jie received the task, he worked hard for three days and devoted all his energy to teaching Mu Yi to act.
And Mu Yi is undoubtedly an actor with a lot of acting talent.
Three days later, Mu Yi filmed the first scene in Guihu, the new capital.
During the performance, Mu Yi really performed the kind of "wood" of Yingchun into the wood, and finally got the approval of Director Wang.
After Mu Yi's first scene passed, Mr. Li Jie cried excitedly, and Jin Lili saw that the actor who played Yingchun was so good, and she left the crew with confidence.
After finishing filming in Sichuan, Mu Yi, who was in his early twenties, went out for the first time and followed the crew to Yangzhou.
Because he had never studied acting, Mu Yi felt great pressure in the Red Mansion crew of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.
In order to perfectly interpret the role of Yingchun, Mu Yi has put in more effort than others.
Mu Yi is the first person in the crew to get up, and she reads the script every day after washing, even if she doesn't have her role, she rarely rests.
Once, when Mu Yi was reading the script by the Slender West Lake, she was so fascinated by it that she turned around and hit a wooden pole, and the bridge of her nose was bruised at that time, and she was in tears.
Dongfang Wenying, who acted with Mu Yi, played the role of the third girl Tanchun in the play, she is a girl with a straightforward personality.
Dongfang Wenying felt the pressure that Mu Yi was bearing, so she often inspired and comforted her:
"You're introverted, shy, and restrained when you get to the crew, aren't you?"
Mu Yi let out a soft "um", not daring to look up at Dongfang Wenying.
Seeing this, Dongfang said to Mu Yi heartily:
"That's right, introverted, restrained, and few words are Ermu, you turn these unfavorable factors into favorable factors, and enlarge and knead them into your own characters, which is Ermu's spring!"
Dongfang Wenying's mention made Mu Yi open the door to a new world in an instant.
In the subsequent shooting, Mu Yi fused his introverted and restrained personality with Yingchun's timid and cowardly personality to create a flesh-and-blood image of Ermu Yingchun.
When filming the scene where Yingchun was bullied by Sun Shaozu and went back to his parents' house to cry, Mu Yi thought of Yingchun's tragic fate and her sentence, and couldn't help but feel sad and brewed his emotions a lot.
Before the official filming of this scene, Mu Yi had already entered the role in advance under the guidance of Dongfang Wenying and Li Jie.
After the official start-up, Mu Yi's first shot was not ideal, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.
Seeing this, Director Wang asked Mu Yi to pause filming and brew his emotions again.
By the time of the second shoot, Mu Yi was already in full shape, and tears fell down like beads with broken threads.
At that moment, she was Jia Yingchun, the second lady of Jiafu who was sold by her father Jia Yu and beaten by Sun Shaozu.
The tears that fell like pearls can clearly make the audience really feel the despair of "golden boudoir willows, going to yellow sorghum".
Many years later, the audience who loves Dream of Red Mansions still has a deep memory of the two woods played by Mu Yi to welcome spring, and the strength of the wood.
The audience thinks that Mu Yi is more intimate with the spring from the shape to the god, Jin Lili is a little lively and cheerful, and Mu Yi is a second wood to that station.
Because of a pair of socks, she has formed a love affair with the Red Mansion in the next life, and in the dark, Mu Yi may have been chosen by Cao Gong a long time ago, and she is another Jia Yingchun in the parallel world.
