After receiving a series of negative comments, the film crew representative Dream of the Red Chamber 2024 explains that the segment in the trailer was just a dream of Jia Bao Ngoc, imagining Tan Kha Khanh.
Some comments from the audience:
– That's why it's said that many people in the film industry just want to take advantage of the reputation of a work of art to make money and don't care about its value. The original Dream of the Red Chamber has very high artistic value, there are many classic stories in the fantasy world, but the director only focused on exploiting the scene of Jia Bao Ngoc and Tan Kha Khanh.
– This movie is so cheap it's unbelievable! Looking at it, I thought it was a high school movie made decades ago.
– This will definitely be an 18+ trash product, becoming a disgrace to the film industry.
– It is true that there was a story between Kha Khanh and her father-in-law, Kha Khanh taught Bao Ngoc in the real Thai Hu fantasy scene. But this seems like it's intentional to create a topic of discussion.
– Looks so vulgar!
Besides details surrounding Tan Kha Khanh, Dream of the Red Chamber 2024 also makes many people disappointed with the appearance of the characters such as Lam Dai Ngoc, Jia Bao Ngoc, Tiet Bao Thoa… Most opinions say that the new actors are far behind the previous versions. Specifically, on the social network Weibo, most opinions expressed disappointment with the appearance of the new version of Lam Dai Ngoc, played by Truong Mieu Di. In Cao Tuyet Can's novel, the character is described as having a weak appearance, as fragile as floating flower petals. However, in the movie, many people commented that she looked more like a lady than a lady from a noble family.
The character Jia Bao Ngoc, played by Bien Trinh, was also severely criticized. Most audiences believe that the movie version has no similarities in Cao Tuyet Can's writing. The actor has a long face instead of “like a full moon” as described in the novel. In particular, Bien Trinh's eyes were also commented on for not exuding Jia Bao Ngoc's temperament.
Dream of the Red Chamber 2024 revolves around the difficult love story between two brothers, Gia Bao Ngoc and Lam Dai Ngoc. From here, the multifaceted life of the Qing Dynasty noble family is described from its peak to its decline within eight years. In the movie version, many viewers predicted that the movie would only recreate the story of the Jia Palace's mansion during its heyday because it didn't have too much time. The project invested more than 200 million yuan (about 658.5 billion VND).
