There are certain people you know that you’re going to click with. After working with Robert Redford on Brubaker in 1980, we instantly became friends. Working with him again in An Unfinished Life was a dream come true.

Rest peacefully, my friend.

dreams, flowers & intertwined fates: how the drama #Blossom found inspiration in one of the four great classic novels of chinese literature —《dream of the red chamber》🥀↔️🪻

loosely adapted from the web novel《jiu chong zi》(‘nine layers of purple’) by zhi zhi, 《blossom》— starring #MengZiyi and #LiYunrui, with #KongXueer, #XiaZhiguang, and more — builds on《dream of the red chamber》(‘hong lou meng’) by cao xueqin. this classic is one of the most beloved and widely read novels in chinese literature, also translated into english under its alternative title《the story of the stone》(‘shi tou ji’), by david hawkes and john minford.

as shared by《blossom》’s scriptwriter jia binbin and producer zhang yingying, the drama’s writing and production teams intentionally incorporated references and parallels to《dream of the red chamber》into《blossom》while reinterpreting themes from the influential classic for modern audiences. they crafted an empowering story that centers on a female protagonist who takes control of her narrative and forges her own path.

zhi zhi, the author of《jiu chong zi》, has also commented on how rereading《dream of the red chamber》as an adult gave her a newfound appreciation for the classic novel, especially from a writer’s perspective:

“the book doesn’t just contain a love story — it also depicts ancient food culture, social customs, workplace dynamics, and family power struggles. using the four seasons as a narrative thread, it weaves together countless vivid scenes, tracing the rise and fall of a once-prosperous family. the writing techniques are incredibly sophisticated and masterful, allowing me to gain invaluable insights. i suddenly understood why some people dedicate their lives to reading and studying《dream of the red chamber》.”

to enhance《blossom》’s elegant, meditative tone and atmospheric period setting, the writing team researched various classical texts and wove intertextual references throughout the drama, notably drawing from tang poetry — but more on that another time.

this is a thread unpacking the most fascinating parallels between《blossom》and《dream of the red chamber》🧵
