Leslie Cheung, Farewell My Concubine...... Chen Kaige's eyes flickered, and the footsteps that were originally walking towards the room moved back.

If it was someone else, he would probably laugh it off.

But Leslie Cheung is different.

"Farewell My Concubine" is known as one of Chen Kaige's best works, in fact, it carries a lot of things.

Cannes Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Oscar nominations, even if you don't mention these, this film is Chen Kaige's most unforgettable.

The first time he met Leslie Cheung was in Hong Kong, that kind of bearing, that kind of natural truth, that kind of extraordinary, which is still fresh in his memory.

Hong Kong is a world of flowers, but Leslie Cheung still maintains a clean temperament, which is rare.

Chu Nian on the sofa saw that Chen Kaige was a little distracted, but he was not in a hurry, but just waited patiently.

"What did you just say his name was?" Chen Kaige came back to his senses and asked.

"Ganjing. Chu Nian added, "A very talented young man, a newcomer. ”

"What's the likeness?" Chen Kaige was silent for a while and asked.

Chu Nian thought about the feeling during the audition that day, and thought about the short contact, and slowly considered: "The appearance is not alike, Leslie Cheung's demeanor is rarely matched, it can only be regarded as a correction." However, it should be better after makeup. ”

"The main thing is his eyes, the eyes when singing Peking Opera, yes, it shouldn't be said like this, it should be said that it looks like Cheng Dieyi. ”

Cheng Dieyi is the protagonist in Farewell My Concubine, that is, the role played by Leslie Cheung - in order to play this role, he studied drama in Beijing for half a year, and he figured it out day and night before he performed this character.

Chen Kaige had an appointment with Leslie Cheung for the next play when he had not passed away, but unfortunately he could not make the trip.

When he just got the script of this "Mei Lanfang", the first person who jumped out of his heart was the deceased Leslie Cheung, but unfortunately......

The conversation between the two did not continue, Chen Kaige was silent for a long time, until the mobile phone rang, and then frowned and said to the assistant director on the sofa: "Bring it to me and have a look." ”

Chu Nian was happy and nodded fiercely.

……

The next day.

"I said, don't drop the chain! This time to see Director Chen, you must show 100% of the state, and all I can win is this side. Chu Nian was very apprehensive in his heart, and he was actually a little pessimistic about the result on this side.

Filming is sometimes not only a question of suitability, but also a series of off-site factors, and the requirements of the management are one of the most important.

"Director, I know. Don't be nervous, relax, relax. If it's yours, no one else can take it, and if it's not yours, you won't be able to grab it. Gan Jing's state was very natural, and in turn comforted Chu Nian.

Chu Nian was a little angry, and stood still and said: "Gan Jing! You just want to grab it this time! Not only do you want to rob it, but you also want to grab it from the hands of the Heavenly King Superstar!"

Gan Jing was shocked for a moment, and after a while, he asked with some doubts: "Director, why are you helping me so much?"

"I'm not helping you. I just think it's great for 'Cheng Dieyi' to play this role. In addition, don't call me director later, Director Chen is the director. Chu Nian admonished.

Gan Jing shrugged his shoulders and nodded again.

Chu Nian was a little worried, but after thinking about it, there was nothing he could do, so he left it to fate.

The two walked towards Chen Kaige's home.

Knock knock, just two knocks, and the door opened.

Chen Kaige stood in the door, outside the door was Chu Nian, and behind him was Gan Jing.

Gan Jing stood honestly in the back, his body was very upright, and he seemed to be a little disappointed when he felt the eyes of the big director sweeping back and forth on him.

He was not unconvinced, nor did he flatter forward, he just smiled and said, "Good director." ”

Chen Kaige didn't answer, just nodded and let the two of them in.

When the three of them entered the door, Chen Kaige walked straight to the sofa and sat down, motioned for Chu Nian to sit down, and then turned his head sideways and said to Gan Jing: "Have you read the script? ”

There was no greeting at all, and the test came directly.

It's almost impossible to change a new person for a king, and if you can't be impressed, it's not a good thing not to waste time.

Gan Jing's heart sank slightly, knowing that it was almost the end of the moment at the beginning.

He concentrated for a moment, and quickly went over the already ripe script in his mind.

The room was quiet, and Chen Kaige waited for the performance of the newcomer in Chu Nian's mouth with half-squinted eyes - this was an audition, an audition conducted by the main director himself.

In fact, there are not many actors who can make Chen Kaige, who is in his fifties, audition in person, not to mention, this is still a newcomer.

The room was still quiet, and the summer sun was a not-so-bright light through the curtains.

Gan Jing quietly changed.

He didn't speak, but the two directors on the sofa were keenly aware that this person had entered the play.

Gan Jing turned around and walked very slowly and rightly step by step.

He turned around and put on a white dress like in the script.

The many admirers seemed to be in front of him, stopping as he turned.

Gan Jing bowed slightly, and said softly: "Thank you, everyone, don't follow, I'm going to play a show." ”

At this point, it came to an abrupt end, and the electrocution-like feeling of the two directors also came to an abrupt end.

Gan Jing seemed to have returned to the mortal world in an instant, and the expression on his face became himself.

Acting is to play someone else, who to play like whom.

Chen Kaige was silent, it was a coincidence, and the part of the dawn trial was exactly this paragraph.

Chu Nian looked at it with an inquiring eye, and after getting no response, he waved his hand at Gan Jing to sit down, and then poured tea himself, first to Director Chen, and then to Gan Jing.

After a long time, Chen Kaige first nodded to Chu Nian, and then sighed: "It's a little tasteful." ”

What is the taste of a little taste?

Gan Jing blinked, and his heart became a little nervous until this moment.

"By the way, Director Chen, Gan Jing is still a disciple of Peking Opera, and his master is Tan Yuan of the Tan family. Chu Nian threw out another factor at this time - this is his cleverness, and the weight should be added at a critical time.

"I think about it, I think about it. Chen Kaige muttered to himself, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at Gan Jing.

The room fell silent again, and the main director seemed to be in a tangle.

Gan Jing swallowed his saliva, and suddenly saw Chu Nian take out a cigarette and hand it over.

Is it really good to smoke here? Director Chu, are you too relaxed......

Gan Jing complained in his heart, but he got Chu Nian's eyes.

It's not bad to smoke a cigarette when you're nervous, he thought about it, took Chu Nian's lighter and lit it in his hand.

It's just that because of more and more nervousness, Gan Jing's fingers holding the cigarette trembled a little.

Chen Kaige saw this detail and seemed to suddenly come back to his senses.

"You're new?"

"Yes. Gan Jing nodded.

"I'll let you compete with Dawn, do you dare?"

"Dare. ”

When Chen Kaige heard this answer, his face was expressionless again, and he said, "Then compare and see." Let's see the results. ”

Is this a chance?

The tension in Gan Jing's heart turned into joy, took a puff of his cigarette, and spit out a heart shape, which immediately made the two directors next to him dumbfounded.

Well?

Did you go to the wrong set?
