名著“偶像化” 'Idolized' classic
The casting of the new show was barely any different from the casting for a modern TV show. When the finalists appeared together and we got a look at them, what many people thought was: They look like idols.
新版红楼的演员挑选过程几乎无异于其他现代剧。最终人选集体亮相后，闯入大多数人脑海的是：他们看起来就像偶像明星。
While the new actors are doing their best to stamp their personalities on their roles and make people forget the older version, director Li and art director Timmy Yip also have a new approach for the show. They want to make the new TV series as beautiful as possible, hence all the attention to costumes and scenery.
一方面，这些新演员们尽力去诠释剧中角色的人物性格，努力让人们淡忘老版《红楼梦》；另一方面，李少红导演和叶锦添设计则采用了一种新方法。为了让画面尽量唯美，他们将全部精力放在演员服装和场景上面。
With an investment of 118 million yuan, the new work is seeking to redefine what it means to put a classic on TV screens.
1.18亿元的总投资让人们不禁重新定义将经典著作拍成电视剧的意义。
Qin Danxue, 19, Jinan: I watched the whole casting-it was just like watching Happy Girl. I think that was a good way to get people's attention, especially the young. Young people may be able to add a little zest to the classic-the "idol effect" might just work.

Zhong Shan（音译）, 19, Shenyang: I don't have much of a sense of the characters of the classic work. However, the costumes in the new version make me uncomfortable. Why do they dress like performers in Chinese opera?
