Chapter 240: Winning Machine
"I like this book very much.,I originally wanted to play it myself!"
Liu Tianwang explained: "It's a pity that I met you, and I feel that the age is more suitable for the role, so I ......"
Ding Cheng nodded and began to read the book, the works that can make the mother of literary films and the king of heaven like at the same time are absolutely unique.
The story is unexpectedly simple, and it can even be said to be bland, telling the story of an old maid, Sister Tao, who accompanies the young master to grow up.
"Based on the story of a true story, Sister Tao's name is Zhong Chuntao, originally from Taishan, because her family was too poor, she was adopted shortly after she was born. Later, his adoptive father was killed again, and he was arranged to work as a servant in the Liang family. ”
Tianwang introduced: "Since the age of thirteen, I have taken care of four generations of the Liang family, a total of more than 60 years. ”
Seeing Ding Cheng raise his head, he said seriously: "Xu Anhua is the best at warmth and insipid routes, there are no climactic plots, and all the details of life such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are expressed. ”
"The more this is the case, the more it depends on the acting skills of the actors!"
Ding Cheng nodded, it seems to be a daily triviality, but in fact, the actor pays the most attention to the sense of control, and it can be said that the highest level of acting skills is life.
is not sensational, not deliberate, not pretentious, not pretentious, many problems are so far, but they can hit the seven inches of human emotions everywhere, and the details of the director are extremely demanding, especially the observation, accumulation, combing and white drawing skills of life.
Liu Tianwang looked at Ding Cheng's excited expression, and secretly smiled, he had worked together twice and already knew that money was not attractive to this kid at all, but it was a good book, and he would never be able to walk when he saw it.
"I invested money, became a producer, and let Bona Yu Fat distribute it in China. Liu Tianwang said confidently: "Although it is a literary film, it is absolutely high, Huang Qiusheng has agreed, Yu Fatzi also found Qin Hailu, the other supporting roles are old drama bones, and now the hero and heroine are ......."
"Looking for you first, if you nod, then the director and I will go to Ye Dexian!"
"Is it her?" Ding Cheng asked, "It seems that I haven't acted for more than ten years, right?"
"It's all about real results. Tianwang explained: "Needless to say, the acting skills are just over sixty years old, and there is a more suitable candidate than her?"
Ding Cheng nodded, he has seen Ye Dexian's works, and he is not inferior to Hui Yinghong's master!
"You have already got the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster, are you still missing a golden statue?" Liu Kaihua said with a sly smile: "Do you want to become a Grand Slam actor?"
What are you still saying now, Ding Cheng smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"
called Sister Hua, and flew in person the next day to sign the contract, they were all old acquaintances, and it was done after chatting.
Accommodation will be arranged in the next two days, and at least two months will be on Hong Kong Island, and the director will invite Ye Dexian and Liu Tianwang to prepare the team.
When I saw Xu Huaan, he wore black round-rimmed glasses, kind eyebrows, always with a simple smile, very kind.
"I like your bullfight the most. Xu Anhua said to Ding Cheng: "It's very real and comfortable." ”
Ding Cheng smiled and nodded, in fact, that work is also a literary film of some meaning in its bones, but it is just packaged by black humor.
"I'm so grateful to Andy!"
Xu Anhua touched the script and said emotionally: "For this book, I went to all the investors, and no one was willing to pay." ”
"In the end, I couldn't help it, I found Andy, and I only said one sentence......"
"I haven't had enough money for a long time, can you help me?"
Looking at the old man who was almost seventy in front of him, Ding Cheng felt the same way, if it wasn't for Liu Tianwang's investment, he might ......
The market has always been unkind to her, for example, when she filmed "When Will the Bright Moon Be" in 16 years, when she claimed to have an unprecedented production cost of more than 100 million yuan, she only said one sentence: I hope this film will not make the boss lose money.
Fortunately, at that time, it was also invested by Yu Fatzi, and with the gold-lettered signboard of Xu Anhua's mother of literary films, many big names basically didn't need money.
Just at the three words Xu Anhua, Xun Gongzi, Huo Jianhua, Peng Youyan, Guo Tao......
can be called a group of stars, but after the movie was released, it was still a dismal box office.
has made more than 30 films in the past 40 years, basically all of which are sluggish at the box office, but the awards have been soft.
In Ding Cheng's view, she always does what she likes to do, always plain face, mushroom head, black-framed glasses, and neutral dress.
will not cooperate with the public's imagination, create the appearance of bitterness and hatred because of artistic ideals, always smile and smile, once said: "As long as I can film, I will be very happy, I don't need money, as long as I don't let the boss lose money." ”
So far, he still lives in a rented house in North Point with his mother, and is ridiculed by many people for being so poor that he can't even afford a house.
Why do you have to buy a house? It's the same with renting a house, it's all about living anyway.
I have long been accustomed to the life at the bottom, so I have not found a reason to buy a house.
Even Wang Jing, who has always advertised that making movies must make money, is impressed by her, and after the first part of Tin Shui Wai, knowing that she will lose, she voted for two more films in one go.
That's her charisma!
"Because I'm also old, 66 years old, single, and I'm starting to worry about loneliness, I'm afraid that I'll be too old. ”
The more Xu Anhua spoke, the more excited he became, and he didn't shy away from laughing: "When I first saw this script, it was just a stage script, the screenwriter was an old friend Li Enlin, and Sister Tao was the old maid in his family, and he was the young master." ”
"I was hooked at first sight, not only to shoot, but also to find the best actor with the most box office appeal to shoot!"
"In Sister Tao's story, I feel that I am both Li Enlin and Sister Tao. A lot of times when I was making movies, I didn't have time to spend with my mother, and she was always dependent on me, so I felt very guilty,"
"Not to mention, I am a woman who is about to grow old alone, and Sister Tao is actually experiencing all the fears in my heart!"
Ding Cheng suddenly realized, so it was.
"Needless to say, there are also Huang Qiusheng, Qin Hailu, Qin Pei ......"
"Especially you!"
Xu Anhua looked at Ding Cheng and said sincerely: "You are the most suitable young master candidate in my heart!"
In Ding Cheng's view, the director is still modest and can see the meaning behind it.
It can be said to be a film with a sense of mission, with an aging society as the background, cutting into personal circumstances, but exploring the big issue of how to live in old age.
I heard that there are many nursing homes on Hong Kong Island, and the public conditions are very good, but most of them are located in remote areas, and only accept the elderly who are seriously ill and cannot take care of themselves.
Homes for the elderly, run by private or non-governmental organizations, tend to have average conditions, but the admission procedures are simple. Not only on Hong Kong Island, but also in the mainland, the aging population is more serious, and how to provide for the elderly has become a problem that everyone must face.
Continuing to chat, Ding Cheng looked at the other party's expression, that face was almost instantaneous, his eyes were always flickering slightly, his head was always shaking slightly, his speech always stopped suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then suddenly began to ......
At the end, there will always be a sudden burst of giggles, and at the same time, all of the above expressions will appear collectively again, blinking, shaking the head, and twitching the corners of the mouth.
If you don't understand, you will definitely think that this is the artist's nervousness, but Ding Cheng understands that the reason why she has this expression is because she is nervous, cramped, and uncomfortable.
"No way, I'm like this!" Xu Anhua felt Ding Cheng's emotions and said helplessly: "I will be nervous when I go out to meet people, and I will be nervous about daily filming, especially in the first half of the month, I can't sleep almost every night." ”
"The mood is too high, and I can only rely on sleeping pills, otherwise I can't start work the next day. ”
"That's because you care too much about what other people think. Ding Cheng smiled: "I am used to picking up a lot of burdens and hiding a lot of things, so I ......"
Xu Anhua's eyes lit up, he didn't expect the young man he met for the first time to know himself so well?
