No matter how many actors have played the role of Lin Daiyu , as long as the name Lin Daiyu is mentioned, everyone’s first reaction is Chen Xiaoxu . But many people may not know that in fact, after " Dream of Red Mansions " was broadcast, Lin Daiyu played by Chen Xiaoxu was the most controversial character.
In everyone's impression, Lin Daiyu played by Chen Xiaoxu seemed to be Lin Meimei that came out of the book. However, in the director Wang Fulin , Chen Xiaoxu is not 100% suitable for this character, and even feels that she is not so exquisite in appearance.
But at that time, Zhang Lei was the first candidate for Lin Daiyu. She was quite beautiful and had outstanding temperament. At the age of 26, she was a little mature in beauty and gave people a stunning first impression. But one thing that Zhang Lei has a shortcoming is that she is a little older and lacks some cool girlish aura in her maturity. Director Wang Fulin later asked Zhang Lei to try the role of Qin Keqing , and it was decided directly that Zhang Lei was Qin Keqing himself.
There is also Lin Daiyu actor Zhang Jinglin , but her personality only lacks the feeling of Lin Daiyu. Zhang Jinglin has a relatively playful and lively temperament, and the crew even gave her nickname Little Fairy. Lin Daiyu in the book is a melancholy and weak beauty, and she seems to be unable to match her at all, while Chen Xiaoxu's temperament is just a faint melancholy.
Although director Wang Fulin is not very satisfied with Chen Xiaoxu's appearance, Lin Xiaoxu's talent adds points to her. If you are not pretty, you can make up for it by applying makeup, but it is difficult to make up for it with a poetic and literary spirit.
Chen Xiaoxu can write poetry and prose. Her writing style is elegant and very poetic. There is bitterness in happiness, and warmth is hidden in sadness. She is kind and intelligent, and her poetry is obvious to all. On the back of the photo Chen Xiaoxu sent to Wang Fulin, he wrote a short poem "I am a willow catkin", which touched Wang Fulin.
It is not easy to survive a long training life. Chen Xiaoxu was unsure of her from interviewing in Beijing to training in the crew. She didn't know if she would choose. However, Chen Xiaoxu knows herself very well, just as she knows Lin Daiyu very well. She is a small body, melancholy and a little bit petty. She thinks she is Lin Daiyu, and she insists on playing Lin Daiyu.
Finally, this girl who is not beautiful enough and has average acting skills really became Lin Daiyu, and she is an insurmountable Lin Daiyu. Although Chen Xiaoxu himself and the director are not sure whether this is right or not, it is undeniable that Chen Xiaoxu's version of Lin Daiyu is a classic of the generation.
