Now, welcome Xu Ke, the director of "Mirror", and the two leading actors Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 With the voice of the host Zhong Paul, Xu Ke, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Fengjiao walked out from behind the curtain together, smiling and waving in the background music and the applause of the audience.

Li Xu didn't interfere much in the affairs of the TV station, but it also brought some changes, such as the introduction of "Got Talent", which led to the layout of the talk show moving closer to Europe and the United States.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Ke. ”

"I'm Lin Qingxia. ”

"I'm Hu Huiyu. ”

After the three of them took their seats in turn, they smiled and greeted the camera, and then Paul Zhong began to play treasure: "Welcome to our studio, wow, I really want to say, Miss Lin, why do you look different from Miss Hu today?"

Immediately burst into laughter, Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyan both bent their eyes and covered their mouths, and then the former said: "You have to ask the makeup artist about this, after all, this is his credit." ”

"Okay, I'll have to ask him later, how can I be as handsome as Liu Songren!" Paul Zhong immediately shook his head and sighed, and caused a burst of laughter.

"Speaking of which, Director Xu Ke, Miss Lin and Miss Hu don't look very similar, why are they almost identical in the movie, so people can't tell each other?" asked Paul Zhong again.

"Actually, to achieve this effect, you can't rely on makeup artists alone. Xu Ke immediately talked about it, and talked a lot, such as inviting prop masters from the United States, how to modify the face shapes of Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyan, such as how makeup artists magically used cosmetics to modify the length of their noses and chins, and so on.

Then Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyu also added two sentences from time to time, so that the audience was amazed - the audience outside the TV.

"Speaking of which, Director Xu, how did you come up with this idea in the first place?" asked Paul Zhong curiously.

"This is mainly the idea that popped up when the producer was watching "Journey to the West" - has STV played "Journey to the West" from time to time before? You should be able to guess the reference segment, right?" Xu Ke asked rhetorically.

"It's the country of bhikshus, right?" Paul Zhong deliberately replied incorrectly, "That white deer couldn't beat Sun Wukong, ran back, and became a Tang monk, no one could tell it, and in the end he still recited the mantra to reveal the stuffing." ”

"Of course not," Xu Kehaha laughed, "It should be "The True and False Monkey King", you know, in the fifty-eighth chapter of the original work, the two Monkey Kings fought from the human world to the heavenly court, and then from the heavenly court to the underworld, no one can tell the difference." Although the truth of the King of Jizo was heard, he did not dare to say it, and he could only ask them to go to the Buddha to solve the problem. ”

The audience cooperated and exclaimed, who was the producer who thought of this, and was so ignored.

"You mean, Miss Lin, they're monkeys?" asked Paul Zhong in a funny way.

"That's what you said. Xu Ke immediately pointed at him and said to the camera, as if he was clearing himself.

"I didn't say anything!" Paul Chung hurriedly waved his hand, causing a burst of laughter.

It's a pity that Xu Ke, Lin Qingxia, and Hu Huiyan didn't let him go, and said again and again that it was what he said, and in desperation, he could only raise his hands in front of the camera: "I'm really sorry, I just said the wrong thing, I regret it, Miss Lin and Miss Hu, even if they are monkeys, they are also very beautiful and charming monkeys!"

Laughter and laughter.

Then, Xu Ke, Lin Qingxia, and Hu Huiyan finally began to talk seriously about the tidbits in the shooting, and under the guidance of Paul Zhong's witty words, they seemed quite lively.

Xu Ke broke a lot of information, which caused some exclamation from time to time, this movie seems to be easy to shoot, but the actual preparation work is much more complicated.

But what attracted their attention the most was the practice that Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyu did for this movie.

"Qingxia and I have been exercising for at least 2 months, and every move is as similar as possible. Hu Huiyan said, "Basically, eating, doing things, walking, and reading scripts, we are all together. ”

"Wow, are you still sleeping together?" Paul Chung made a gossipy expression.

"At first, I did sleep in the same bed, but after a few days it was gone, which was embarrassing. Lin Qingxia said with a smile, "After my sister was 6 years old, I never slept in the same bed with other women. ”

"That's a shame. Paul Zhong said very poorly, and then changed the topic: "But this effect is great, I went to the cinema three times before and after, and if I didn't already know the ending, I really couldn't tell the difference." ”

"We were also shocked when we watched it for the first time," Hu Huiyan continued, "Although I knew that the effect should be good, I didn't expect it to be so good, and even we couldn't tell the difference when we were together." ”

"So Xu Ke arranged red clothes for me and white clothes for Huizhong, so that the audience could distinguish clearly at the first time. Lin Qingxia followed.

You must know that in Hong Kong in this era, in addition to kung fu movies and action movies, how many actors will try to do some exercises that seem to be impossible to use in the future in order to make a movie better?

To put it mildly, even the communication method of sitting at the round table and reading the script together was brought by Li Xu, and it only appeared in his crew.

Dute is so busy making money.

Even Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long in kung fu movies are because they have been practicing since childhood, not just for movies.

So when Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyan said that they had lived together for more than two months in order to make the roles they played look the same as possible, and even the small movements could be consistent, you can imagine how big the audience's surprise would be.

And then—

"Yes, it's extremely good, but I bet it's even better, as far as I know, no one can see it at the moment!" Xu Ke said when asked about this.

"What's that?" Paul Chung replied in time.

"You said you've seen it three times, right?" Xu Ke asked rhetorically first, and only after receiving an affirmative answer did he say again: "Then you should remember that after the two Tong Li appeared in front of the Tong family together, they confronted each other again, right?"

"That's right, that's right, a lot of privacy is revealed. Paul Chung nodded repeatedly.

"This scene is about 12 minutes," Xu Ke smiled mysteriously, "and the two of them ......"

pointed at Lin Qingxia, and then pointed at Hu Huiyu: "It's the other party's role." ”

"Right...... The role of the other party?" Paul Zhong was obviously a little confused.

That's right, in that scene, Huizhong played Chen Qian, and Qingxia played Tong Li. Xu Ke nodded heavily.

The scene was quiet for about two minutes, and Paul Zhong opened his eyes and asked a little out of shape: "I heard me right, Director Xu Ke, you mean...... In that scene, the role played by Miss Lin is actually the role played by Miss Hu at other times, and the role played by Miss Hu is the role played by Miss Lin at other times, is that true?"

"That's right, that's it," Xu Ke smiled, as if pleased with his reaction, "they reversed the roles they played, and no one has noticed this so far." ”

"Is this true? Director Xu Ke, is this true?" asked Paul Zhong anxiously for the audience, "When I watched it, I didn't feel that there was a change of roles there." ”

"This is the credit of Qingxia and Huizhong," Xu Ke immediately pushed Lin Qingxia and the two of them out, "To be honest, I didn't expect them to behave so well." ”

"Don't listen to him," Lin Qingxia said with a smile, "Didn't you notice, in that scene, there was not a single close-up, let alone a close-up, just to prevent being observed." ”

"I see!" Paul Chung expressed great surprise, but the audience who reacted was much more touched.

How can you still do this?!How can you swap roles?!You're too good at playing, aren't you?

In the last program of the interview, Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyan, who went backstage to make up identical again, came out to dance a tango, and after revealing that it was Lin Qingxia who was dressed in white, the audience climaxed directly, even if it was the scene, it was a deafening cheer.

Then the box office of the next day fell against the box office, and there was a small increase in the next few days, which made a bunch of critics look straight in the eyes, there is still such a thing?!

But they also know that as long as half of what is said in the interview is realized, it will not be able to catch up with other Hong Kong films. And this way of changing roles is indeed unheard of, Xu Ke is really a player, and it is expected that the audience will rebound.

However, in this way, Imagination Pictures is completely separated from Hong Kong films, whether it is the declining Shaw Brothers, or the mainstay Golden Harvest, or the rising New Art City, it is impossible to play like them.

It's just that, in any case, "Mirror", which has begun to decline, has become popular again, and many people who like this movie can't help but enter the cinema again - including many film critics - want to see what Xu Ke said, how good the part where Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiren swap roles can be.

As a result, this quite original movie for someone finally went offline with a Hong Kong box office of 25 million, although it is a pity that it did not exceed 30 million, but it is quite good.

Then, as Yishu said, Lin Qingxia, a flamboyant and unruly character with a strong revenge nature, has been talked about by people for a long time.

Hu Huiyan is much more depressed, her performance in the movie is obviously on par with Lin Qingxia, and the character of Tong Li in white is also eye-catching, but people still prefer to call her "Xiaolin Qingxia" or "Lin Qingxia's shadow".

And Xu Laowei's nerve knife, if it is the first appearance in "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", then it is really a sharp blade in "Mirror".

With the 25 million box office offline, this work in which the two play exactly the same two characters, plus the lily plot, and the exchange of various elements of the roles, has become a milestone in Hong Kong films, and Tong Li in red has also become a classic role.

So a few years later, when "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" was released, many fans criticized this guy for not wanting to make progress, he was eating his old book, what the East was undefeated, it was obviously the previous life of Tong Li in red.
