Chapter 751: The Heroine
Choosing the heroine for the new film, Song Zheng's first thought is Zhang Jingchu, she has dancing skills, and acting should be effortless, but the problem is that Zhang Jingchu's appearance is not easy to be accepted by European and American audiences. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the same way, Zhou Xun was also passed.
International Zhang is a good candidate, he has a certain reputation in Hollywood, and he can make films, but first, his value is too expensive, and secondly, people probably can't look down on him as an action movie directed by a Hollywood newcomer, and besides, Song Zheng is quite annoying to this woman.
Then there is Fan Bingbing, but Fan Ye has just opened up the situation in China, and he is a rookie in the world, and the most important thing is that Song Zheng really doesn't want to provoke this woman, so he can hide.
looked at the names of many actresses on the paper, which were melted one after another, and in the end, Song Zheng suddenly found that he couldn't find a suitable candidate.
As for his daughter-in-law, Song Zheng never thought about it from beginning to end, her acting skills are too low, and she is still pregnant with a child, how to act!
If you can't become a famous actor, do you want to choose a newcomer.
Thinking of the newcomer, a name suddenly popped up in Song Zheng's mind.
Tomway!
A big Tsing Yi that Song Zheng admired very much in his last life, an actress who can hold any role in temperament.
In terms of appearance alone, there are many Hua Dan in China, Dao Ma Dan, and Tsing Yi can blow Tang Wei into scum in minutes, but in terms of temperament, there are really few domestic actresses who can kill her.
Tang Wei gives people the feeling that she belongs to that very peculiar type, no matter what situation she is in, she can not be slow and determined, even if her heart is turbulent and fighting, she can calmly set off after covering up the chaos of the army.
If any woman can be fixed in a certain type of category, then Tang Wei belongs to the kind that cannot be defined, because she has thousands of appearances: the laziness of waking up in the morning light, the sadness of the twilight, the restraint in front of strangers, the exquisiteness in the eyes of lovers, the touch of spring when she was a girl, and the thousands of splendid flowers after maturity, she is like a jagged and polymorphic ink and blue painting scroll slowly unfolding in front of people.
It's not amazing to look at, but that comfortable feeling can inadvertently sink into people's bones.
Now Tang Wei is still unknown, in fact, in the "Lust?? Before "The Ring", her acting experience was lackluster.
Perhaps she never thought of taking on the role of an actor at first, because her initial choice was to be a director, until 2001, when Lai Shengchuan, the father of Taiwanese drama, came to Chinese opera as a guest lecture, and the academy selected several students from the directing department at that time to participate in the rehearsal, Tang Wei played the wife of patient No. 5.
Although the role she plays is not amazing, her deep understanding of the characters beyond age and experience, as well as the down-to-earth and steady typhoon, make Lai Shengchuan favor her.
It was also from this time that Tang Wei really fell in love with acting.
In 2005, the drama "Cut?? When Che Guevara was rehearsed and casting, Tang Wei was recommended to director Yang Ting, who thought that Tang Wei had a clean temperament and had the freshness and heroism that female warriors in the play needed, so she was selected to play the role of the square female number one.
Later, Yang Ting took Tang Wei to South Korea to perform "Cut?? Guevara, who sprained her foot, didn't tell anyone, simply dealt with it, insisted on finishing a few plays, and in order to cherish this precious opportunity, she also watched all the plays in the festival.
Shi Shiran, indifferently, what needs to be done in a surprise from others has been gently brought over by her here, precisely because of this kind of change without surprise, even if it was later filmed because of the filming of "Lust?? The thunderstorm caused by the "Ring" was finally digested by her calmly.
In 2007, she participated in the "Lust?? The Ring", which is a landmark symbol in her acting career.
Before using Tang Wei, he asked Tang Wei to go to the magic capital to familiarize himself with the various skills required in the play: singing Suzhou Pingdan, learning to play mahjong, and then conducting devilish training in Yanjing and Xiangjiang respectively, wearing cheongsam, watching movies, reading all kinds of relevant materials, nearly 10 hours a day, after 3 months of intensive training, Li Yu agreed, and then agreed to sign a performance contract with Tang Wei.
"Color?? During the filming of "Ring", a total of 118 days of filming were filmed, of which 114 days were spent filming Tang Wei.
After the release of the film, her meticulous and delicate performance was well received by industry insiders and many audiences, and when the film appeared at the Venice Film Festival, it won the highest award - the "Golden Bear Award".
Subsequently, at the 44th Golden Horse Awards for Reporting, Tang Wei also won the Best Newcomer Award.
But fame is sometimes a double-edged sword, which made Tang Wei play a role in filming "Lust?? After the "Ring", he first enjoyed the long encounter, and then suffered a heavy blow, "Lust?? While achieving her, "Ring" also easily erased her previous achievements.
No one mentions Tang Wei's past, as if she was an airborne soldier who fell directly on the podium of the Golden Horse Awards, and the adjectives given to her were lucky, opportunity, and these words that had nothing to do with her own efforts.
Maybe Tang Wei really wants to be famous, but obviously not at the cost of denying his own efforts.
In 2008, Tang Wei suffered a complete ban, and her career was completely suspended, when she was 28 years old, the golden age of actresses, the future is uncertain, the fate is unpredictable, and the day of her future is far away, and even from now on she may never recover.
Later, under the arrangement of the brokerage company, she went to the UK with all her net worth, and in a foreign country, she cleared everything, dressed plainly, and acted in a low-key manner, no one knew that she was the Wang Jiazhi who was curling and charming on the big screen, and no one knew that she was the Tang Wei who became famous overnight.
Leaving his fame behind, Tong Wei immersed himself completely, studied stage plays carefully, and didn't even mind working as a busker and earning the required tuition fees by working as a badminton sparring partner.
Someone met Tang Wei at that time, and was surprised by her consistent calm and peaceful, there was no gloomy mist between her eyebrows, and there was no resentment of being knocked to the ground.
Why write everything on your face?
The waves in this world, this fateful calamity, if you can't escape it, let it be like a meteor in the night sky in the dark, all the scars are only engraved on the heart, whether it hurts, it hurts, it doesn't have to be hidden without saying a word, let alone showing it in the world.
Vicissitudes are not destined to grow old, and its best function is to smelt the amber of life.
After two years of precipitation, Tang Wei finally got a chance to star in the low-budget movie "Full Moon Hennessy", and won the Best Actress Award at the Chinese Film Media Awards.
An even bigger turning point came in 2011, when she starred in "Late Autumn," a film by South Korean director Kim Tae-yong starring Tang Wei and Hyun Bin, based on the 1966 film of the same name, about a female prisoner who has been released on parole because of the death of her mother, and meets a man in Seattle.
With this film, Tang Wei was nominated for Best Actress and Popular Actress at the "47th Baeksang Art Awards" in South Korea, winning the actress crown in one fell swoop, and also became the first foreigner to win the award since the establishment of the "Baeksang Awards" in South Korea.
With this film, Tang Wei made a strong return to the Chinese film market and was highly recognized by the mainstream media and the audience.
When it is true, the mountains and rivers are restored, and the willows and flowers are bright.
In 2013, Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo co-starred in "Yanjing Meets Seattle", which broke the box office record of a Chinese-language urban romance film, and in 2014, he starred in the film "Golden Age", which reflects the life of the famous writer Xiao Hong, which also caused a huge sensation.
From the reason for "Color?? The "naked drama" in "Ring" was completely banned, and she became the "goddess of literature and art" in the Chinese entertainment circle, this subversive span cannot but be said to be a miracle.
Shu Qi once said that she would put back the clothes she had taken off one by one.
But this long and arduous process, she walked on thin ice for more than ten years, even if she was crowned, it was still difficult to completely get out under some obscene eyes and the accusations of the defenders.
Therefore, in this patriarchal society, it is easy for women to strip, but it is difficult to wear again. And one of the biggest reasons why Tang Wei can make the majority of audiences accept it "regardless of previous suspicions" is that she makes art belong to art, life returns to life, and walks off the screen, she is diligent and diligent, not fighting or grabbing, this image that is very different from the screen is her most real presentation, and many actresses are just the opposite, they have gained countless admiration on the screen, and the collapse of the character in reality naturally caused a strong contrast.
Tang Wei, who was successful and famous in her previous life, left the impression on people like this, quiet and elegant, leisurely, she is not so beautiful that she is dust-free under her eyes, her flaws are obvious, but she is not like other desperate female stars to go crazy for plastic surgery, to hype all kinds of lace news without any lower limit, in order to attract attention and attention, and put herself in disorder, out of control, disordered, crazy things She can't do, and can't do it, it's not that she is unwilling to disdain, it's just her nature.
She is not a virgin, much less an infallible moral perfection.
What is a person?
Full of desire, so, sometimes surging utilitarianism and vanity also touched her initial choice, but along the way, she obeyed her own orders, and slowly obeyed the inner criterion, she knew how to correct those controllable paths in life, and understood that occasional grandeur is better than eternal mountain.
When other actresses and dramas are indistinguishable, and sigh that life is like a play, she can continue to subtract her life, and try her best to downplay its drama and weaken its sense of absurdity.
Many times people's attitude towards life is either too strong or too hard, and Tang Wei can still look up at the stars in the trough of fate, which cannot help but make people really appreciate.
Writer Han Songluo said: A person's soul and personality are just a grain of sand at first, and we are responsible for wrapping the nacre to make it round and smooth. It is the original grain of sand that determines the shape of the pearl, and the original grain of sand that determines the shape of life during the low tide period. That grain of sand is called the ego.
Tang Wei is the rough sand of the "self" with the enamel of the pearl, and after glowing with a dignified brilliance, she is enough to introspect and reluctantly, she has not let the emblem of the "self" be completely eroded by the rain and haze wind barrier that follows, and has not twisted herself into an unrecognizable hollow person according to the worldly expectations and social rules.
This woman with rippling eyes has a charming and enchanting color in her eyes, and at the same time there is no lack of spiritual naughty jumping. And the smile on her lips that is as pale as a chrysanthemum, some people distort it into a charming summons, and some people seem to be comforted by freshness and elegance, she is imagined as thousands of faces in the world of outsiders, and only in her own world can she clear the fog and restore her original color.
No matter whether life treats her well or is fortunate to her, she can tell herself that all the time in life is not wasted, as long as it passes, it will definitely leave traces and become mature.
Mature but not arrogant, mature but not sophisticated.
The so-called clear stream is difficult to turbidity, which is probably like Tang Wei.
Song Zheng really admires Tang Wei, especially her attitude towards the world, but it's a pity that after getting married in her previous life, her works have decreased sharply, even to the extent of seclusion, and Song Zheng has always been skeptical about her acting skills.
From "Late Autumn" to the year of Song Zheng's rebirth, his most high-profile film is probably "Golden Age" directed by Xu Anhua.
It's just that speaking from the heart, this drama didn't leave too deep an impression on Song Zheng, so much so that he, like many audiences, began to question Tang Wei's acting skills.
That sounds a little scary.
"Goddess of Literature and Art" Tang Wei has poor acting skills?
It's unbelievable.
The key is that it depends on how it is compared, if Tang Wei is just classified as the kind of female star who is satisfied with acting in "Mary Sue" and "Madonna", and using "Ma Zhen" and "Niu Zhen" as gimmicks, there is no need to talk about her acting skills.
But Tang Wei is just not, from the one that suddenly became famous, "Lust?? Since the beginning of "Ring", she has been praised by the public as a "goddess" on the water side, and has been given all kinds of expectations.
So after watching "Golden Age", people will inevitably feel a little disappointed, because Tang Wei still plays the tone of "Xiao Hong", and was even summarized by netizens as "Tang Wei's three treasures of acting: daze, sighing, and shaking his head".
When she played Xiao Hong, the story of her hard work was widely reported: she copied Xiao Hong's works with a pen, deliberately using traditional Chinese characters, and copied for several months.
This can't help but be reminiscent of Nicole?? Kidman, she starred in "All the Time" female writer Virginia?? During Woolf's time, she imitated and practiced the handwriting of writers extensively.
There is also a more mysterious joke that Tang Wei went to Xiao Hong's former residence to experience life, and deliberately hid a lock of hair under Xiao Hong's bed.
These are very literary plots that can be written into the life biography of a great actor and become an excellent story for an experiential female star.
However, literature and art belong to literature and art, Tang Wei's acting skills in this movie have still not been improved, and in "Golden Age", her performance is not at all compatible with the character of the female writer Xiao Hong, and she seems a little anxious and powerless.
She is not rough enough, naïve, and vigorous, but has a smart face, a pair of rational eyes and a heart full of thoughts, at first glance, she is the kind of person who can arrange her life well, which is precisely not the characteristic of the writer Xiao Hong.
Of course, people may be a little thirsty, but this is also something that can't be helped, in Song Zheng's previous life, when Chinese films gradually broke free from disorderly big productions and big movies, literary films were revitalized, and began to attack the box office of commercial films, China's so-called literary films were deeply trapped in a unique complex.
And Tang Wei's literary film from "Lust?? "Ring" to "Golden Age" and "Tale of Three Cities", but they are burying their strengths step by step, which can't help but be regrettable.
"Color?? After "Ring", Tang Wei obviously worked diligently with so many successful big-name directors, but each one seemed to be filmed with the assistant director, revealing a choice that was misplaced with his own controllable performance style, so that he was obviously a "dignified" temperament, and he had to force himself to show the shortcomings of "stupidity", thinking that this was the affinity that everyone loved.
In the previous life, a group of female stars lined up to play a "chick movie", the so-called "selling cuteness and splashing, easy to shoot and easy to act", Tang Wei has also walked on this road for a long time since "Full Moon Hennessy".
Among the movies she starred in, the highest rated by fans was "Yanjing Meets Seattle", a somewhat exotic movie. Later, "Fate" can be regarded as a successful pursuit of "Yanjing Meets Seattle", and Feng Xiaogang was also hired as the producer, and continued to feed everyone the chicken soup of Hollywood-style light comedy.
However, the audience has completely stopped buying it, criticizing the film as rigid, deliberately capricious, and unrealistic, will anyone be willing to patiently evaluate the acting skills in this kind of film?
Tang Wei has always said that she has "no acting skills", and when she first promoted "Full Moon Hennessy", she bluntly said in Xiangjiang that she was not good enough to act, and said "I'm sorry" to the director.
Later, in Venice, she said: "I really don't think I have any acting skills, I can act what I feel, and I really can't act what I can't feel." ”
The subtext of "no acting" should be to try to get close to the character itself, to be soulfully integrated with the character's water*.
But it's a pity that I can't see the self-exerted acting skills in her soul.
Therefore, it was her luck for Tang Wei to meet Li Huan, who is good at inspiring, squeezing and capturing the actors, and patiently teaches the actors to complete every performance in every scene.
Without the master's careful polishing, the roles she played later were really monotonous, and every time it was like "Tang Wei" pestle there.
There are probably two kinds of so-called literary and artistic female stars, one is those whose private life is on the cusp of the storm, but they can perform well in literary and artistic dramas, and the other is those who shape their private lives into a special literary style, but they can't afford to be called the "goddess of literature and art" when acting.
Female stars who work hard in the performing arts will receive a lot of bad movies, but if excellent actors want to stand out and gain a firm foothold, they still have to rely on one or two well-known roles.
No matter how big the controversy is as a female star, the international chapter has "Gong Er" to turn over, Shu Qi has "Nie Yinniang" to continue the legend, and Tang Wei still has not surpassed the starting symbol of "Wang Jiazhi", but it is a pity that his unique appearance and temperament.
Many people say that actors are passive, but as an actress who is already quite famous and capital, how to choose a role that suits her and create an output image with extra points is the most crucial.
Only by really coming up with good works can you become a veritable and energetic actor.
Song Zheng admired Tang Wei, admired her unique temperament, and her principles, but also felt sorry for her, obviously holding a good deck of cards in her hand, but in the end she held herself at home.
This is indeed a pity, so when Song Zheng chose the heroine for "War of the Roses" and suddenly thought of the name Tang Wei, he couldn't help but think: If he can break the image barrier for her and let her get in touch with different roles earlier, will this kind of pity that will appear later be avoided!?
Maybe acting in "War of the Roses" will make Tang Wei lose the clean temperament that Li Yu admired, but it also changed her fate.
It is indeed regrettable that there is no Tang Wei's version of Wang Jiazhi in "Lust and Caution", but in the same way, without Wang Jiazhi in "Lust and Caution", can Tang Wei avoid many of the so-called precipitation experienced in his previous life?
More importantly, without "Lust and Caution", Tang Wei will definitely be able to ask for the shackles brought to her by the role of Wang Jiazhi.
Song Zheng thought about it, and immediately took out his mobile phone and found Yuan Quan's number.
"Hey!" Yuan Quan had already slept, and when he received Song Zheng's call, his mind was still confused, and his tone was unhappy, "Who!
Go to bed!?
How old are you!?
Everyone is busy with their careers, busy fighting upwards, and you are actually sleeping.
Song Zheng listened, and directly disguised himself as "angry and indisputable".
"What time is it?"
Yuan Quan sobered up a little, and also heard Song Zheng's voice, and complained: "It's a little too much, okay, you are also a night owl, can I still be like you!? Besides, you blame me! I was dragged by your family to go shopping during the day, and I was tired and my back and legs hurt, if you don't say that you will send me a thank you letter, you will shout when you come up, you are a fart!"
Yuan Quan shouted, got up a little less angry, and then said, "Say! What's the matter!?"
Song Zheng hurriedly said: "You can help me inquire if there is a person named Tang Wei in your Chinese opera." ”
Yuan Quan searched quickly in his mind, and said after a long time: "I haven't heard of the acting department, but there seems to be such a person in the directing department, I entered the school the year I graduated, what's wrong?"
When Song Zheng heard this, he secretly screamed "Ouye" in his heart, and hurriedly said: "You can help me contact her, and if you can, let her come to the Northeast recently." ”
"What are you doing!?"
As soon as Yuan Quan finished asking, he heard the sound of "Toot, beet, toot!" ringing on the phone, and angrily shook the phone, pulled the quilt and covered his head.
Go to bed!
"You're insane!?"
Yuan Quan angrily hugged the person lying next to her, like an octopus, entangled to death.
"Ada!What's wrong!?"
Yuan Quan said angrily: "What else can I do, your family doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, doesn't harass you, but comes to harass me, I've never seen such annoyance!"
Lying on the same bed with Yuan Quan was Lin Xinru, who was sleeping in a daze, when she suddenly heard the phone ringing, and then felt Yuan Quan tossing beside her.
These two girlfriends go shopping during the day, and whoever is in the same place at night is also a loss that Song Zheng is not at home, otherwise, they will be jealous.
"What's wrong with him?"
Hearing the news of her husband, Lin Xinru suddenly lost her sleepiness.
Yuan Quan said angrily: "I said that I was asked to help find an actor, no, it's a director, oops!
When Lin Xinru heard this, she suddenly became interested, and said, "Who!?"
"Tang Wei, a student in the 00-level director's seat in our school, yes! 00-level students, people have graduated early, okay, where can I find it!"
Yuan Quan did it violently, rubbed his hair vigorously, pondered for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, picked up the phone, found a number and called.
The other party answered the phone quickly, and the voice on the other side was a little noisy: "Hey, Lao Yuan, call me at night, why are you filming!"
“youwin!”
When Yuan Quan heard this voice, she almost spat on it, she really didn't play a game console!
"I don't talk nonsense with you, I ask you personally, do you know Tang Wei!?"
The other party smiled and said, "I know! What's wrong!?"
Yuan Quan heard a little hope, and then asked, "Do you still have her contact information now?"
"No, I've just met twice, and I haven't talked much about it, but Hu Jing is familiar with her, otherwise you can ask Hu Jing! Forget it, I'll ask you, and I'll give you back later!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lin Xinru asked, "Who is it!?"
"Liu Ye! If you want to ask for the contact information of the girl in our school, you can only find him, as long as that animal is a beautiful girl, follow him!"
Lin Xinru smiled secretly, but automatically retrieved the keyword "beautiful girl".
"That actor named Tang Wei, director, is it beautiful!?"
"Well~~~~~ I can't say it, but it's quite temperamental, it feels very clean, and it's comfortable to look at!" Yuan Quan said casually, without thinking too much.
Liu Ye's phone call came back quickly, and Tang Wei's number was reported.
Yuan Quan remembered that he hung up the phone and was about to call back according to the number, but was stopped by Lin Xinru.
"It's so late, don't disturb people, tomorrow, tomorrow, how about we meet together!?"
Yuan Quan was stunned for a moment, how smart she was, she immediately noticed the hint of meaning in Lin Xinru's eyes, and said with a smile: "Yo!
