Dream of Red Mansions is a well-known classical masterpiece, Lin Daiyu is the soul figure in Dream of Red Mansions. Such a character who combines beauty, wisdom and poetic temperament has always been talked about by the audience.

There are many actors who have played Lin Daiyu, but in the eyes of countless people born in the 1980s and 1990s, the most familiar ones are undoubtedly Lin Daiyu played by Tao Huimin and Chen Xiaoxu.

One is Lin Daiyu in the 1989 Beijing Film Academy version of Dream of the Red Chamber, and the other is Lin Daiyu in the 1987 CCTV version of Dream of the Red Chamber. Both are big productions by big directors, and both actors are one-in-a-million beauties. So the question is, which one of the two versions of Lin Daiyu performs better?

In terms of external image, Tao Huimin is undoubtedly better.

Tao Huimin is a natural beauty, and she is gentle and elegant, with outstanding temperament. Her appearance can be said to be 360 ​​degrees of beauty with no blind spots. It is said that having a calendar of Tao Huimin at home in the 1980s and 1990s might make young people ecstatic for a while.

Chen Xiaoxu is also very beautiful, but her Lin Daiyu can only show her unparalleled beauty from a specific angle. If the camera cuts aren't accurate, it will feel flat.

In terms of acting skills, Tao Huimin is also better than Chen Xiaoxu.

Tao Huimin has been performing on stage since she was in the second grade of elementary school. After being trained by Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe , her acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. When she played Lin Daiyu, although she was only 24 years old, she already had more than ten years of acting experience, won numerous awards, and her profound acting skills can be seen in every move.

In comparison, Chen Xiaoxu's acting experience is relatively thin. Before starring in Dream of Red Mansions, she had only played some minor supporting roles. The role of Sister Liu played by Chen Xiaoxu in "Family Tradition" in 1982 was her first work in the entertainment industry. The quality of

's acting skills can also be seen from the subsequent experiences of the two. After Dream of Red Mansions, Tao Huimin continued to publish excellent works. Chen Xiaoxu faded out of the stage after playing Cousin Mei and began her business career. Although Chen Xiaoxu can definitely be considered a successful person, he is indeed not as good as Tao Huimin in terms of acting skills.

Despite so many shortcomings, Chen Xiaoxu's Lin Daiyu is still more popular than Tao Huimin.

The most important point is that Lin Daiyu's essence is not a beauty waiting for words, but a sentimental poet. And Chen Xiaoxu just has this kind of poet's temperament.

Chen Xiaoxu started writing poetry at the age of 14. Her " I am a catkin " is fresh and eulogizing, with a sensitivity and confidence beyond her peers. Perhaps because of this, director Wang Fulin took a liking to her at first sight and immediately confirmed that she would play the role of Lin Daiyu. This is completely different from Deng Jie who worked hard to get the role of Sister Feng.

Chen Xiaoxu is also naughty and lively. In order to let the sisters Baoyu and Daiyu develop relationships, Director Wang Fulin also gave Ouyang Fenqiang , the actor who plays Baoyu, a task to think of a prank every day. Ouyang Fenqiang is relatively honest. Fortunately, Chen Xiaoxu is behind the scenes making suggestions. This trick worked really well. After this experience, the two of them became one with each other on and off screen, and their emotional communication was very natural and cordial.

There is another point that Tao Huimin cannot compare with. Although Dream of Red Mansions was released in 1987, Chen Xiaoxu joined the crew in 1983, and the filming lasted three years. In the past three years, the entire crew has invited a group of experts to give lectures to the actors. Not only did they strive for excellence in the script, but they were also more delicate and tactful in the details of the performance. The entire script was roughly based on Cao Xueqin's 120 chapters. Chen Xiaoxu showed a complete artistic image of Lin Daiyu.

Tao Huimin made a movie, and deleted many life scenes in which the sisters recited poems and composed poems together. She also did not live and work with the crew for three years like Chen Xiaoxu. She also lacked a bit of the temperament of a poet. Overall, what she photographed can only be said to be a streamlined version of Lin Daiyu.

This will be obvious.As far as first impressions are concerned, Tao Huimin's Lin Daiyu is not inferior to Chen Xiaoxu's version, and is even better in appearance. But in terms of the integrity of the inner temperament and artistic image, Tao Huimin's version of Lin Daiyu is absolutely incomparable to Chen Xiaoxu. Perhaps it is for this reason that when many people mention Lin Daiyu, the image of Chen Xiaoxu will immediately come to mind.
