China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

Chapter 127 The shocked Yimou shocked Zhang Yang, how to shoot the kiss scene

Chinese directors are accustomed to dividing different eras by seniority, and each generation of directors has distinct characteristics of the era.

Among the more influential third-generation directors, Xie Jin from "South China" and "Furong Town" from "North China" and "Dream of Red Mansions" from Xie Tieli, Xie Jin passed the baton to Jiang Wen, and Xie Tieli made Liu Xiaoqing famous.

Lao Jiang was able to act in "Furong Town" entirely because of the recommendation of his girlfriend Liu Xiaoqing. Xu Chen looked up to him as a role model for our generation.

The fourth-generation director "Lao Teng" witnessed the marriage of the fifth-generation director "Kai Zi Ge". When "Lao Teng" looked at Kai Zi Ge's wife, he lamented that Chinese films have continued to be inherited, and they are all of the same kind!
The fifth generation of directors are Kai Zige, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Tian Zhuangzhuang... These directors always want to criticize, explore, and reflect cultural and social phenomena.

Zhang Yimou is one of the leaders. Since 1987, he directed "Red Sorghum" and won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. Under the guidance of the "God-level Director System", one new film a year has won many awards at home and abroad.

"My Father and Mother" is Zhang Yimou's last work before his business transformation. The film has a lot of achievements. Zhang won the Berlin, Golden Rooster, and Hundred Flowers Awards. Actress Zhang Ziyi won the Hundred Flowers Best Actress as a new movie star, and has been rampant in the film industry ever since...

"Comrade Xiao Xu, have you seen the movie information? Are you interested in playing the role of the young "Luo Changyu"?" Zhang Yimou grinned on his face in the vicissitudes of the northwest desert full of ravines.

"My Father and Mother" was inspired by a novella published in "Chinese Writers". The first time he read the novel, Zhang Yimou was convinced that "this is the story he wanted!"

Before the script was perfected, Zhang Yimou pushed forward the "movie casting" work. The first time he saw Xu Chen, Zhang Yimou was convinced: "This young man is the actor he wants!"

In the script, "Luo Changyu" graduated from a normal college and voluntarily gave up his luxurious life in the city and took root in a rural area with difficult conditions to become an ordinary rural teacher.

The progressive young man played by Xu Chen when filming the MV of the Republic of China, his "sense of faith" and "hot-blooded youth" are very close to the character.

Luo Changyu was born in the city. He is elegant in conversation, humorous, loves music, and is especially good at the flute. Xu Chen perfectly meets the requirements of the role!

The only flaw is that Xu Chen did not graduate with an acting major, but Zhang Yimou dispelled this concern after watching Xu Chen's "Unparalleled in the World" MV performance clip.

Xu Chen's performance is very spiritual, and Zhang Yimou firmly believes that he can train Xu Chen well!

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm not very interested personally." Let me take a picture. "My father and mother" are also known as "my simple, kind, innocent and lovely rural mother". My father is a dispensable tool.

The only person in the whole movie that interests Xu Chen is his "son" Sun Honglei. Yes, in this movie the "King of Yan" Sun Honglei plays Luo Changyu's son.

Moreover, the heroine of the movie, Zhang Ziyi, the mainland's "Chinese pop king" has become her foil to support her rise to power, and Xu Chen is not very interested.

Besides, the movie is light and watery, and Zhang Ziyi is not beautiful. Gong Li can still consider it. Gong Huang is plump and beautiful.

Zhang Yimou raised his head, his face a little confused. The circle was eager for his movies, but no one dared to reject him so cleanly.

Mainland newspapers said that Xu Chen was unruly, arrogant and unrestrained. Zhang Yimou saw it!
"Director Zhang, I have read the original novel of this movie. It tells the life of a rural teacher in just a few clips. Director Zhang adapted the novel. The main line of the movie is the love between the rural teacher and the girl Zhaodi. The role of the rural teacher is too light, Taiping is just a tool man."

Xu Chen bluntly said that he was a singer and did not take care of the actor's job. No matter how overbearing Zhang Yimou was, Xu Chen could deal with it calmly.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, your opinion is very informative, but how can you be sure that the main plot of this movie is the love between two young people who break through the world and class?" Zhang Yimou's eyes showed strong interest.

The script he gave Xu Chen was just an outline. This outline had long been overturned, and the third version of the script was just a rough idea.

Xu Chen was so convinced that the main plot was "love" that he even designed the "Country Teacher" scenes and character close-ups based on his wishes?
"..." Xu Chen was numb. Damn it, these old guys are really hard to fool. He couldn't say: "That's right, Lao Zhang. I watched the movie and it was very average."

"Director Zhang, to be honest, my main job is singing, and my side jobs are photographers and screenwriters..." Xu Chen simply kept it secret and told Zhang Yimou about the movie "My Father and Mother" in a concise and concise manner.

The movie lasted for an hour and a half, and Xu Chen's mouth felt dry.

The more Zhang Yimou listened, the more serious his expression became. "My Father and Mother" is currently just a rough outline. What the film is specifically going to express and talk about is just a vague idea.

Xu Chen gave a concrete outline of the story, and shamelessly criticized the film's strengths and weaknesses.

Zhang Yimou couldn't keep his calm expression and looked shocked. Xu Chen said that his side jobs were photographers and screenwriters, and Lao Zhang only regarded Xu Chen as his hobby. He didn't expect that he really had two skills.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I am a person who has high standards for myself." Don't ask me for scripts with low standards. Xu Chen doesn't want to waste time.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, you like photography. I used to be a photographer." Zhang Yimou's face was soft. Xu Chen is really a talented person, capable of both literary and military skills.

Wen Neng composed the music for the movie, Wu Neng wrote the script, and after some training, he could also act.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, are you interested in being responsible for the screenwriting and dubbing work of "My Father and Mother"? Comrade Xiao Xu doesn't want to be a tool. Comrade Xiao Xu writes the script himself, so there will be no problem." Zhang Yimou, who has a rare sense of humor, grinned while holding a tea cup Smile, training Xu Chen is easy!

"..." Xu Chen declined a job, and Lao Zhang threw several jobs at him. He thought for a while: "Director Zhang, I am a very secular person, and I am afraid that I will delay my artistic creation."

"Comrade Xiao Xu, the salary of the screenwriter, soundtrack, and actor are all separate. If you do well, you can also get dividends from movie projects." Zhang Yimou grinned: "Comrade Xiao Xu must have confidence in art."

"Let's do it!" After giving him enough money, Xu Chen had nothing to worry about. The idea was in his head. Whether he plucked the wool or not, the idea would eventually come true.

Zhang Yimou is currently working on the film "No One Less", and "My Father and Mother" is just the preliminary preparation work.

He signed a contract with Zhang Weiping's "New Picture Film Company". For "My Father and Mother", "New Picture" is responsible for coordinating the pre-production work of the film.

Zhang Yimou is a very simple man, with the shrewdness and philistineness of an old farmer in the northwest. He drives Xu Chen to work for him and is responsible for cooperating with the casting director in "casting work."

I’m going to say, it’s the interview for the heroine and the supporting role!

Poor Zhang Ziyi, she was still happily looking forward to the movie interview at this time, and she was worried that it was Xu Chen's MV, how could I have a good chance if I didn't take pictures!
And it’s Zhang Yimou’s movie!

It is completely unclear that her life will never be able to escape the shadow of "Xu Chen"!

…………

Time slipped to October 10st.

Xu Chen's work plan for 1997 only included the movie "Love Malatang" and the Spring Festival Gala interview.

The sales volume of the album "Unparalleled in the World" has surpassed that of the mainland. Mainland singers dare to be angry but dare not speak out. MMP, this beast Xu Chen will not give others a way to survive.

The album "No. 43 Baojia Street" under "Jingwen Culture" has been postponed. Seeing that death is inevitable, early death and early rebirth, Liang Yongmei gritted her teeth and chose to release Wang Feng's new album.

The "Baojia Street 43" album songs "Little Bird" and "Good Night, Peking" are both mainland rock and pop hits. The reporter interviewed Xu Chen for his views. Xu Chen gave high praise: "Xiao Wang is a very spiritual singer. I believe his music will bring a new rock force to the Chinese music scene. I listen to Little Bird, Good Night, and Peking often these days."

Xu Chen is the first "King of Chinese Pop" in Mainland China, and he is definitely very authoritative. Wang Feng and the album "No. 43 Baojia Street" became an instant hit.

Liang Yongmei of Jingwen Culture and Wang Feng were preparing to visit Xu Chen, but unfortunately Xu Chen had no time to talk to them!
The Hong Kong and Baodao music circles are at war. Xu Chen, a Hong Kong music star, won the first place on the "Next Year Today" double charts of "Hong Kong Radio 7" and "Metropolitan Radio". Jacky Cheung returned to the first place again within [-] days.Not only ranked first, albums by Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau tried their best to suppress Xu Chen. Xu Chen played away from home and could only maintain the second position in the rankings.

"Miao Zhen" and "Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart" can't take care of both. "Miao Hand" can still hold on to the top five, but "Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart" is completely off the list.

The Baodao music scene benefited from the bundled promotion of Xu Chen, Zhang Huimei and Simon Yam, with "Rolling Stone" launching Simon Yam's album ahead of schedule.

The album's title track "Very Hurt" quickly reached the top ten of "Voice of Asia" and "Island Radio" within 18 hours of its release.

Baodao News published one after another: "Which of the twin stars of the Chinese music scene, Ren Xianqi or Xu Chen, will become the ruler of the Chinese music scene in the era after the Four Heavenly Queens!"

This piece of news has caused quite a sensation in Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan. Ren Xianqi's "Too Soft-Hearted" became a hit at the beginning of the year. He hid it for ten years and no one asked him about it. He became famous all over the world in one fell swoop!

The second album was released simultaneously in Southeast Asia, with strong sales!
Xu Chen debuted with the album "Legend" in mid-June, and was hailed as the "Little Mainland King" in the Mainland. In October, the album "Unparalleled" was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although he was completely weak, he flew against the wind and suppressed the kings and queens of the music world to appear in "Chinese". The Little King of Pop!”

Both of them were the most dazzling shooting stars in the Chinese music scene in 1997, a mainland and a treasure island. Under their light, Hong Kong, the former ruler of the Chinese music scene, came to an end sadly and lost the qualification to compete!

In general, Xu Chen has no shortage of opponents and challenges on his way to becoming the emperor of the "Chinese pop music scene"!

Not to mention.

In the original time and space, Ren Xianqi succeeded the "Four Heavenly Kings" and became the emperor of the "Chinese pop music scene" only for 2 years. The Four Little Heavenly Kings of "Tao Zhou Wanglin" kicked him down. From then on, each of them led the way for several years, and finally Jay Chou came to an end. Fighting for hegemony in the music scene, he will dominate the Chinese music scene until the end.

Ren Xianqi is probably the most miserable of all the "Heavenly Kings". He was simply Zhu Bajie who tasted the ginseng fruit and died without even tasting it.

Xu Chen not only wants to taste the ginseng fruit, but also takes over the ginseng fruit tree. From then on, he faces the north and becomes the king. You guys will pay homage~
…………

"Love Malatang" was filmed in Peiping. The movie is a "chuanchuan" movie, consisting of five story clips.

The five stories describe the five stages of love respectively. Different stages have different understandings of love.

Xu Chen read the script, and he understood this. It was the process from "every vow of eternal love" to "foot massage" to "looking at each other and hating each other" to "falling in love at dusk".

The segment he played is called "Photo", which is in the transitional stage from "Eternal vows" to "foot massage": "Fuck date!"

"Eternal oaths" are too tiring, "foot massages" are too decadent. Men and women who are unwilling to be lonely always look forward to romantic encounters. The love that collapses and collapses in the earth dies in the morning when the sun shines on the wall.

The photographer "Xia Xiaowan" played by Xu Chen is such a person.

When he was taking wedding photos of a newlywed couple on the street, "Lin Yuqing" played by Xu Jinglei accidentally broke into his shot.

"Lin Yuqing" has shoulder-length short hair, a graceful figure, a face as white and tender as jade, a pair of "dreamy" beautiful eyes, a neat nose, plump and round lips...

Xia Yiwan could tell at a glance that this woman was lonely. When two lonely souls in the city met, they just met a glance and felt a surge of love.

He and she spent the afternoon in the rain on the overpass, and sweated all night in the simple rental house. When the sun came up, Lin Yuqing disappeared!

Xia Xiaowan said: "Maybe it's because I had a fever due to the rain yesterday. I'm a little out of shape. I'm not usually like this."

Lin Yuqing: "...Goodbye."

Lin Yuqing can disappear, at least wait until he proves himself before disappearing. It's embarrassing for me to disappear like this. I'm good at it!
Xia Xiaowan was frantically looking for Lin Yuqing in the city. The two met by chance on the street on a rainy day. It was just a glance that made them different, and also a matter of life and death!

Two lonely souls were burning, and time had faded the passion. Lin Yuqing was buying breakfast early in the morning, and suddenly he couldn't find a place to put his soul in the honeycomb-like lattice building of the city.

"Love Malatang" is a very novel movie format. The movie earned a box office of 2000 million when it was released. It ranks among the top three in the annual box office, with "Titanic" first and "Party A and Party B" second!
Zhang Yang is a very special person among the sixth generation of Chinese directors. Other directors either pursue fame and fortune or are self-isolated. Zhang Yang stands in the middle. He pursues fame and fortune but is not self-isolated.

No one cares about his movies!It would be too much to say that no one cares about it, as domestic audiences rarely pay attention to it.

In fact, Zhang Yang is considered a leader among the sixth-generation film directors. His films "The Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots" and "Kang Rinpoche" are very chewy.

This very maverick director wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. After all the hardships, the joys came. Damn it, Xu Chen, you are finally here!

The filming of the other stories in "Love Malatang" has already ended. Even Gao Yuanyuan, a tough guy, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and chewed off.

He wanted to bite Xu Chen's hard nut, but it was a pity that Xu Chen didn't give him a chance.

"Brother Chen, this is the shooting plan for tomorrow. Can you see if there are any problems?" Xu Chen was acting for the first time, and Zhang Yang was not confident.

This movie is his debut. Only he knows how much effort he put into it and how many looks he received. If it was because of Xu Chen that the quality of the movie would be lowered.

Promote him...

Zhang Yang admits it, the Mainland pop king’s first movie, Xu Chen’s name is worth 500 million at the box office! Buying a movie clip for 500 million means getting your money back~
"Director Zhang, this..." Xu Chen frowned slightly, Zhang Yang was not very serious, and the first scene after joining the group was...

kiss scene?

"Director Zhang, I have no experience in how to perform a kiss scene." Xu Chen really had no experience. He had never kissed anyone on the big screen. After thinking about it, he said innocently: "Director Zhang, I am the one on the screen. First kiss, is there a little red envelope?"

Xu Chen felt that he could not suffer a loss!

"..." Shameless, do you want me to give you two slaps? Zhang Yang pinched the script and fanned Xu Chen: "Brother Chen, the most important thing about acting is to release your instinct. Let's shoot the most difficult kissing scene first, with the girl. Once the actors are done, the rest of the scenes will be easy.”

Xu Chen had never filmed a movie before, so Zhang Yang had no expectations and hurriedly finished the filming, not expecting Xu Chen to contribute a "best actor" performance.

"This..." Xu Chen was very confused: "Director Zhang, the actress is Xu Jinglei. As long as she has no problem, I will do it. I am a soldier under Director Zhang. I will kiss whomever Director Zhang tells me to kiss."

Zhang Yang didn't want to talk to Xu Chen, he was a shameless person!
"Comrade Xiao Xu!" There were brisk footsteps outside the door. As the door opened, Gao Yuanyuan walked in under the sunshine. Her eyes were surprised and she put her hands behind her hands and said happily: "It doesn't matter if you have no experience in kissing scenes. I can help you." Try acting, the more you kiss, the more experience you will gain!"

"...Brother Chen, Yuanyuan, let's talk." Gao Yuanyuan looked forward to the stars, looked forward to the moon, and looked forward to Xu Chen. Zhang Yang was envious, jealous, and hateful. Brother Chen's life was too juicy.

"Comrade Xiao Gao, you have gained weight." Xu Chen counted on his fingers. It has been 25 days since the last meeting. The food of the crew is good, the cabbage grown in the field is white and tender, and the collagen faces are sweet and cute. Human dimples.

"Hmph, I'm obviously losing weight." Gao Yuanyuan poked her belly in annoyance, staring at Xu Chen, trying to control her thoughts of rushing into Xu Chen's arms.

She is no longer the innocent little girl she used to be. Now she has matured. At least Comrade Xiao Xu said he missed her, and then kissed Comrade Xiao Xu hard!
