Chapter 65: About Li Zhao
It's certainly impossible to make an appointment!
After all, he is already a married man...
Just pretend to be dumb!
There's nothing else to do.
Then an Uncle Ge lay down and collapsed in his seat.
I came to the restaurant without saying a word.
The location is Tang Yiyi's own Tang Tang Tang.
It is estimated that Bao Ye may think that it is inappropriate to go to other people's places!
But it doesn't matter.
Tang Yiyi just wanted to end the dinner quickly and leave!
Entering the box, a few people chatted about some things while eating.
Tang Yiyi was halfway through eating and received a call from Tang Tang.
finally had an excuse, and he left the table directly.
When I got home, I took a shower and went to sleep with Tang Tang.
I didn't go to the crew for the next few days, so I stayed at home.
But not for long.
followed by Wu Jing's "Ip Man" crew.
This movie is all self-directed and self-starred by Wu Jing.
He also wanted to try his current directing ability, so he simply took on the role of director!
plus the salary of the male number one.
Took a total of six million.
Four million men plus two million director's salary.
And then there's the five-percent box office split...
This price was decided by Tang Yiyi.
It's already very sincere!
After all, it's your own family, so you can't treat it badly, right?
"Brother Jing! yo, Bao Ye!"
Bao Ye refers to the red gold treasure.
That's right, just like in the previous life, the action director of this play invited Red Gold Treasure.
"Director Tang, I've admired my name for a long time, I finally met me today..."
"Bao Ye is polite, speaking of which, I really grew up watching your movies!"
The two of them exchanged a few words to each other, and then Red Treasure left.
In addition to Red Money, many actors in the crew of "Ip Man" are from Xiangjiang!
In addition to Brother Jing's desire to return the favor, it is more because the mainland really can't find a few actors with foundation...
To be honest, this is definitely a little embarrassing...
What should be admitted must be recognized!
In terms of the genre of kung fu movies, people in Xiangjiang are indeed much better than us!
"Brother Jing, when will it be my turn to play?"
Tang Yiyi asked.
"In the afternoon, there are other scenes to shoot in the morning. ”
"Okay, then I'll just go around..."
Tang Yiyi nodded, and did not disturb everyone.
A man spun around on the set.
Not to mention, it's much better than the crew of "How to Steal the Key"!
No matter which way you compare...
"Director Tang is good!"
"Director Tang is good!"
The staff passing by greeted Tang Yiyi one after another.
Tang Yiyi also smiled and nodded, looking very low-key.
After all, he is not a director in this play, he is just an actor, and he can't steal the limelight from Brother Jing!
Walking and walking, Tang Yiyi's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Teacher Wu Gang!"
"Yo, Director Tang is here. ”
"Don't don't, you can call me eleven, don't call Director Tang..."
Tang Yiyi hurriedly said.
Wu Gang, one of the Five Tigers.
is a senior that Tang Yiyi loves and respects very much!
Including Li Dakang in "In the Name of the People", he played it!
"Teacher Wu didn't have your play in the morning?"
"I just finished filming, and I don't have anything to do at this time ready to wander around. ”
"And I'm with you?"
Tang Yiyi said tentatively.
"Okay!"
Now Tang Yiyi is happy!
It's really a rare opportunity to get in touch with your favorite old drama bones up close!
Along the way, the two of them asked a lot of questions about the performance while Tang Yiyi was wandering.
Wu Gang's answer also benefited Tang Yiyi a lot.
I can't help but sigh at the accuracy of the old drama bones' vision.
Many things can directly put Tang Yiyi's questions to the point.
We talked until noon, and it didn't end until lunchtime!
"Teacher Wu, if there is a suitable role for me to find you in the future, I hope you don't reject me! I want to cooperate with you more and learn more!"
"No problem!"
"Then I'll thank you in advance!"
"Where, where..."
Before leaving, he asked for an autograph, and Tang Yiyi left happily.
I took out my phone and took a photo, and then posted a Weibo post.
"Today I have the autograph of an old artist that I like very much, I am very happy, and I will share it with you!"
Not long after it was sent, there were immediately messages from fans who didn't know asking who Wu Gang was...
There are also people who know Mr. Wu Gang, and leave a message saying that they also like him and so on.
Of course, very smart fans will directly ask Tang Yiyi if he is filming a new drama or something.
"Yes, I'm in Brother Jing's "Ip Man" crew, but I'm not the director of this play, I'm just a small actor, and I hope everyone will support the movie after it is released!"
replied to a few questions from fans, and then turned off his phone to eat with peace of mind.
In the afternoon, Tang Yiyi, who had already put on makeup, came to Wu Jing's side.
"How's it going, buddy, does this dress have a hint of that era?"
"It looks good, but it's just a little too handsome, that makeup artist!
Wu Jing joked with a smile.
"You're nakedly jealous that I'm more handsome than you!"
"Why did you talk to Master? Do you want me to teach you martial arts?"
“... Gotta you are the director you are the greatest!"
Tang Yiyi didn't continue to chat with him, so he simply found a stool to sit down and wait for him to play.
The role of Li Zhao.
It can be said that Tang Yiyi is one of his favorite characters in this movie.
More soul than Ip Man!
The movie is really successful in shaping this character!
It's also soulful...
Tang Yiyi once said when he talked to Wu Jing about the role.
"When we were children, we all wanted to be heroes like Ip Man, but I don't know when we started, we slowly became people like Li Zhao..."
This sentence won Wu Jing's approval!
What kind of person is Li Zhao?
It's actually not difficult to see from the movie.
At the beginning of the film, Li Zhao appeared as a Foshan police officer, and his words and demeanors vividly showed the philistine and trickery of this little person.
After the Japanese army occupied Foshan, he was forced to make a living and act as a translator...
Here, the director also skillfully arranged a detail: that is, when Li Zhao took the Ip Man family into his home to avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese army, we saw the embarrassing scene of the old and weak women and children in his family through the camera lens.
As an ordinary man who doesn't know kung fu and is greedy for life and afraid of death, he only has the ability to make a living by speaking a fluent foreign language, and it is simply unreasonable not to choose to be a translator!
On the one hand, the recruitment of human flesh sandbags for the Japanese army was forced by obscenity, and on the other hand, it also really took into account the importance of that bag of "white rice" to the villagers, but despite this, Wu Idiot's death still made him feel deeply shocked...
This is the reaction of an ordinary person with a conscience!
From then on, the motives for his actions began to change quietly, and the scolding and blame of the crowd fulfilled his heartfelt roar:
I'm just a translator, I'm not a lackey!
If it is said that at this moment, this roar still has the color of self-blame and cowardice that Li Zhao can't hide.
The subsequent rescue of "Master Ye's" family became a clear proof of his clear conscience!
On the one hand, the existential crisis of Japanese coercion and embarrassment, on the other hand, the interrogation of national self-esteem and the responsibility for the safety of the "Ip Man" family, Li Zhao walked between the two as if walking on thin ice, and the resulting dramatic tension far surpassed that of the male pig scriptor, and thus produced the two most wonderful lines of this film:
One passage is that when General Miura asked Ip Man about his honorific name, Ip Man replied:
I am a Chinese!
Li Zhao translated Ip Man's sentence as:
His name is Ip Man!
Another passage is when Miura invited Ip Man to be his martial arts instructor in the army, Ip Man sharply refused and challenged him.
Li Zhao was in a hurry and translated it as:
Mr. Yip will seriously consider the invitation and hope to learn martial arts with you.
Li Zhao's translation of these two sentences made all the little people who are struggling to survive in the big era understand, these people do not have lofty ambitions, nor do they have the dazzling brilliance of heroes, but in the depths of their hearts, their unknown human charm is flickering.
And at the end of the film, it is such an inconspicuous little person who saves the life of our tall Master Ye, and at the same time successfully completes the self-redemption of this character...
Ip Man is undoubtedly divinely unattainable, ever unattainable, because he is a perfect image.
Compared with this, Li Zhao's human charm is more practical and reliable, and more sincere and valuable.
It's a pity that even such a person is not everywhere today.
Many more people do what "translators" do, but never think of achieving self-redemption in some way, or even if they do, they can't muster up the courage to do it seriously.
S13 always has S13 to support, and there will be people to spurn it in the spring and snow, which is a more complex and tangled reality outside the screen.
But in any case, it is a noble thing to be a translator who is not a lackey.
At least, I'm convinced!
