253, love at first sight
Yang Fan is an alternative director in Xiangjiang and even in the film and television industry.
He was born in Echeng, the mainland in 47, and moved to Xiangjiang with his family in 50 years.
Not to mention the sixties and seventies when he began to struggle, even now, there are very few people who dare to start a business, let alone the extremely risky film and television industry.
But Yang Fan dared, traveled to the United States in about 20 years, and worked as a special actor in Hollywood for a few years, he returned to Xiangjiang and founded Peanut Film Studio Co., Ltd.
At that time, it was a very small company, and it had not been filmed for ten years, and it was all written and directed by external TV stations, and at most a few foreign films were released, such as France's "Old Dream" and "Autumn Water Yiren" and other literary films.
The box office of local literary films in Xiangjiang is worrying, not to mention the income of outsiders.
But Yang Fan not only persevered, but also attracted foreign investment in the early eighties, and wrote and directed his first movie "Diary of a Girl".
This film was nominated for Best Original Song, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography at the Xiangjiang Film Awards the following year.
Society is like this, famous and unknown, worlds apart, with this stepping stone, and then to pull investment, it is much better.
So everyone likes to put gold on their faces outside, there are 1 to say 2, 2 to say 4, and 4 to dare to say 10. Many people who do business, in order to make customers believe in their own strength, or grit their teeth to buy, or rent or borrow luxury cars to support the façade, this is the kind of psychology, of course, customers still eat this set.
Since then, Yang Fan has successively filmed literary films such as "Sea Flower", "Queen of Demon Street", "Beautiful Boy's Love", etc., which have been shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, Xiangjiang Film Awards, and Golden Dragon Film Festival, and have also become famous in the world.
Now this "Dream in the Garden" is when Yang Fan participated in the Cannes Film Festival before, and saw Zhang Jiqing, a drama master who came to Europe to promote Kunqu Opera, perform "Dream in the Garden" on stage, and he was fascinated immediately.
After watching it, Yang Fan had the idea of making such a movie, and when he returned to Xiangjiang, Yang Fan found "Dream in the Garden" written by Mr. Bai Xianyong, and after turning it over several times, he slowly had inspiration in his mind, so he started to prepare.
Yang Fan set the story in Gusu in the thirties, and the protagonist was Rie Miyazawa played by the Deyuelou courtesan Cuihua, with her beauty and the Kunqu opera she sang, she fascinated countless men, but in the end she married into the Rongfu and became a concubine.
Rong Lan, played by Wang Zuxian, is a relative of Rongfu, and also likes opera, Cuihua's life in Rongfu is not easy, so she sings with Rong Lan from time to time to pass the time, one sings Liu Mengmei, the other sings Du Liniang, and she has feelings when she comes and goes.
At the school where Rong Lan works, the arrival of Xing Zhigang, a new teacher played by Ning Yuan, brings unexpected fluctuations to Cuihua and Rong Lan's lives. Rong Lan fell in love with Xing Zhigang at first sight, but the relationship between the two ended with Xing Zhigang's departure without a problem, leaving only Cuihua and Rong Lan, two helpless women.
A touch of elegance, a touch of sadness, a depressed atmosphere and subversive feelings constitute the main line of this movie.
And after that, because he likes Kunqu Opera, Yang Fan filmed a half-plot and half-documentary "Phoenix Crown Love" two years later, mainly Zhang Jiqing and Wang Fang.
Yang Fan's movies have a major feature, all of them are written and directed by themselves, and even play important roles in them, and many of them are taboo movies with a strong personal style, such as "Beautiful Boy" facing difficulties, the girl in "Dream in the Garden", and the future, he is so bold that he dares to find Zhang Xiaohui as the heroine to make a restricted movie, not because of the subject matter, but because this woman is very unreliable.
Although Yang Fan can get investment every time, the amount is not large, after all, most literary films lose money and make money, if it weren't for the fact that his films are beautiful, fresh, have a certain artistic level, and can win awards, it is estimated that no one is willing to invest.
This time, Yang Fan also pulled in an investment of more than four million.
Although Wang Zuxian lowered her price to act in friendship, her salary in the nineties was several million, even if it meant it, at least hundreds of thousands.
In such a comparison, Ning Yuan can definitely receive 10,000 points of damage, after all, when he filmed "That Mountain" before, the salary was only 20,000 yuan, and people mean that it is dozens of times that of him.
In addition to Wang Zuxian, Rie Miyazawa's salary is also hundreds of thousands, and this is because Yang Fan used many connections on the neon country's side - he also won awards at the Edo Film Festival before, and also served as a unit judge.
This is also why the actor in Yang Fan's movie doesn't look for a big name, because he really can't afford it, and even then he has to spend it tightly.
Even because of the tight budget, not only are there few characters set up, but there are also fewer scenes.
The main scene is also two places, one is the Humble Administrator's Garden, and the other is the Lize Girls' School in Tongli Ancient Town, and Ning Yuan's role is mainly here, after all, his identity is the new male teacher.
Subsequently, Yang Fan secretly hinted that he hoped that Ning Yuan would also serve as the translator, and he would also have the opportunity to get along with a neon beauty like Rie Miyazawa.
Ning Yuan pushed again and again, and then 'reluctantly' accepted it, and said that I was not because of this, but to save money for the crew, for the sake of Director Yang's face.
Looking at Ning Yuan's sincere appearance, Yang Fan said in his heart, "Don't I understand the realm of young people now? Or are they from the mainland, and they all like to talk about dedication?
But then, looking at Ning Yuan's lively chat with Rie Miyazawa every day, Yang Fan touched his nose again, you kid blindfolded me, right?
Not only Rie Miyazawa, but Ning Yuan also slowly became familiar with Wang Zuxian a lot, although she was a slow-burning type, but Ning Yuan didn't have any thoughts about her, so she was also very calm in her relationship, which made Wang Zuxian feel comfortable.
So, when filming, you can often see Ning Yuan surrounded by two beauties, and from time to time there will be a pleasant voice like Miyazawa Rie laughing like a silver bell, and you can also see Wang Zuxian's gentle and moving smile.
In the film, Wang Zuxian has short hair, compared with her previous long-haired fairy spirit, her face is still the same face, but she is obviously much more down-to-earth, but her Danfeng eyes are slightly weak, so she doesn't dare to look at her for a long time.
Ning Yuan also got used to it for two days and got familiar with her, so he started filming the scene where Xing Zhigang and Rong Lan met for the first time.
At first sight, what you see is appearance, one is handsome and chic, the other is gentle and moving, just like going back to Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang hundreds of years ago.
