A DREAM of Red Mansions, the 2010 version, has finally been unveiled. Although it can now only be seen on some local TV channels, it's receiving lots of praise from viewers。

　　不久前，2010 版《红楼梦》终于与观众见面了。尽管目前只在一些地方台播出，观众的赞许之声仍不绝于耳。

　　The remake gives us a feeling of being "young" and "idolized". Many cast members were born in the late 1980s and 90s.Will it attract a younger audience? What is young people's take on the remake of such a classic? Does the love described in the novel seem "out-of-date" to them?

　　重拍的《红楼梦》给人一种“年轻”、“偶像派”的感觉。很多演员都属于80后、90后。这样的演员阵容会不会吸引年轻观众？这些年轻人在这部重拍名著中的表现如何？在他们看来，小说中所描写的爱情是否已经“过时”？

　　名著“偶像化”

　　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。
