"Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day" left a deep impression on me, it turned out that I didn't know Ning Jing, and I didn't know her until she got married and came to the United States. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiaohui The role I thought of her from the beginning, but her schedule was very tight, and when I talked to her, she didn't have a one-month schedule until mid-November this year. I wasn't sure before, but now that Da Lun has finalized it, then she will have no problem there. After the camera is turned on, we can shoot the two of you first. ”

There is a large section of the rivalry between Wang Dalun and Zhao Baogang in the script, Wang Dalun wants to play Daxing After being released from prison ahead of schedule, according to the law, he must go to the police station to report to Zhao Baogang to play the role of Lu Qilin, the director of the police station, Lu Qilin asked him to report to Daxing once a week, saying that he would exchange ideas and help Daxing progress.

In the weekly thought report, Daxing, who has repeatedly hit a wall in finding a job, began to talk to Lu Qilin about his girlfriend Xiaohui. Xiaohui is beautiful and kind, and has been taking care of Daxing's parents during the eight years of Daxing's prison sentence, waiting for Daxing. This made Lu Qilin, who was facing a marriage crisis, envious, his wife, who ran a clothing company, was busy with entertainment every day, and he was not romantic and passionate, and even made him feel a little green on his head, which eventually had to lead to divorce.

Xiaohui's loyalty made Lu Qilin very envious, and at the same time, Daxing's transformation made him regret, and in the process of finding and investigating Daxing, he and Xiaohui had an intersection, which led to the main line of the story.

"I heard that Ning Jing was filming Jiang Wen's "Looking for a Gun" some time ago, and the filming was finished?" Zhao Baogang asked casually.

"Her role has been completed, and there will be a TV series next. I met with her two days ago, and I specially asked her how she felt about cooperating with Jiang Wen, and she replied with one word, tired!"

Hearing Chen Daming ask Ning Jing and Jiang Wen about their feelings about cooperation, Wang Dalun and Zhao Baogang both laughed in unison, and pointed at him with their fingers at the same time.

Insiders know that when they were filming "Sunny Days", Jiang Wen and Ning Jing had a good time, but it was only later that Grandma Liu intervened, and this relationship ended without a problem.

Now that both of them are married, one is married to a French wife, the other is married to an American husband, and both have children, and it doesn't hurt to joke now.

Lao Jiang is this temper, he loves to admit death when filming, and when he was filming "Something to Say", even Lao Mouzi almost turned his face with him. Lu Xiaochuan, who filmed "Looking for a Gun" this time, is a fledgling, and it is estimated that he must have been tossed enough by Lao Jiang. Zhao Baogang said with a smile.

Jiang Wen is recognized as difficult by all the directors who have worked with him in the circle, and he is one of the best actors. Zhao Baogang has a good personal relationship with him, and there is a circle underneath.

"Isn't it, I heard Ning Jing say that when she was filming, sometimes even she couldn't figure out who the director was. Chen Daming also smiled and said.

In fact, after Jiang Wen finished filming "The Devil is Coming", he was banned by the relevant departments for five years. This thing has no choice but to toss and start acting. In other words, this "Looking for a Gun" is an annual blockbuster produced by China Film and invested by Huayi Brothers, although the director Lu Xiaochuan is a first-time director, but his background is amazing, and his father is a famous writer and a member of the presidium of the National Writers Association.

Lu Xiaochuan has signed a contract with Huayi Brothers, and this drama is clearly intended to praise Lu Xiaochuan, and a grand press conference was held when the film was started. But Jiang Wen's popularity is too great, even if he has been banned, when the outside world talks about this "Looking for a Gun", they all invariably say that it is Jiang Wen's movie, and almost no one mentions Lu Xiaochuan. As a result, this is indeed the case, listening to Chen Daming say this, director Lu Xiaochuan has basically been set aside by Jiang Wen.

"Hey, I heard that Lu Xiaochuan also graduated from the film academy, and you are in the same class, right?" Zhao Baogang turned his head and asked Wang Dalun again.

"It's not a class, he used to be in the army, and he was admitted to the film academy to study for a master's degree in the directing department. Wang Dalun said.

When he was in school, he knew Lu Xiaochuan, but he didn't intersect. On the one hand, he had a father who was a famous writer, and on the other hand, he thought he was very talented, and ordinary people didn't look down on him at all.

In '97, there were two things that caused a sensation in the film school. One is that Jia Zhangke, a fourth-year student in the Department of Literature, made a 16-millimeter movie "Xiao Wu", and another thing is that Lu Xiaochuan, a second-year graduate student, went to Henan to shoot a TV series called "Invisible Man".

It's just that the final result is very different, Lu Xiaochuan's TV series has never been broadcast on TV at all, and it is still unknown. However, Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu" shined at the Berlin Film Festival the following year, thus embarking on the road of a famous director.

Thinking of the scene when Lu Xiaochuan, who had always been arrogant, was suppressed by Jiang Wen, Wang Dalun was very unkind and secretly refreshed.

Also unkind was Zhao Baogang, who sighed in a fake way: "Alas! This kid is also unlucky when he meets Lao Jiang!"

Chen Daming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I also heard that this "Looking for a Gun" was written by Lu Xiaochuan himself, and he must have a lot of his own ideas, but it's a pity that ......."

He didn't say any more, because he himself is also a creative director, and "Manhole Cover" was written by himself, and as a director, he can completely feel Lu Xiaochuan's grievances. There's no way, Jiang Wen's reputation is so great whether it's acting, writing and directing, you want to even eat Lao Mouzi, let alone your fledgling Lu Xiaochuan!

The three of them chatted for a while and gossiped, and the topic naturally turned back to the script.

"Our generation is arguably the most hurt. Zhao Baogang poured a circle of tea, and said with a touch on his fingers.

"You see, when I was a child, I was supposed to be educated, but I caught up with all kinds of political movements, and I couldn't read the books well. This person is middle-aged, it happens to be the time when the old and the young, this good life has not caught up with a few years, and it is just in time for the country's economic transformation, the wave of layoffs, and he has to find a job. If you think about it, you are in your forties and fifties, and it is better to have skills, but most of them need a diploma or not, and you have no skills, and your physical strength has begun to decline, and what kind of job can you find? Now it is difficult for even college students to find a job.

Of course, Lu Qilin in the script is good, he is the director of the police station, he has at least a certain status in society, and it is impossible to worry about life, but in this era of increasing social development, he also encounters a crisis - an emotional crisis.

Some people may think that I am hypocritical. Lu Qilin is much luckier than those laid-off workers or Daxing, who has just been released from prison, at least he will not worry about survival. But I think that as long as people reach a certain age, with the continuous changes in society, they will encounter some problems to a greater or lesser extent, some are life pressure, some are emotional problems, and even many people have both.

Now there is a very popular word in foreign countries, called mid-life crisis, and there are relatively few such words in China. But whether it is a developed society or a relatively backward society like ours, a midlife crisis exists.

So, Daimyo, your script is really good, it may be that you have been abroad for a long time, and your horizons have become wider, and you can see a lot of deep-seated problems. To be honest, I took on the role of Lu Qilin because of this mid-life crisis in him. ”

Although what Zhao Baogang said sounded very profound, Wang Dalun was a little unimpressed, he and Brother Bao were not from the same generation, and they may not understand the feelings of their generation. Don't look at what he usually calls Zhao Baogang "Brother Bao, Brother Bao", but if you really want to talk about it, Brother Bao and his father Comrade Wang Fugui are the same age, who let Comrade Wang Fugui be a father at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

One thing Zhao Baogang said is right, because of the times, his father and mother are not well educated, and they are all high school culture. As for the pressure of life, it is true that my family was a little poor when I was a child, but everyone was about the same at that time, and as for emotional problems, it seems that there are very few problems in the countryside, let alone a mid-life crisis.

He even slandered Zhao Baogang himself, is he in a mid-life crisis?

However, Chen Daming agrees with Zhao Baogang's statement, and in his words, the character of Lu Qilin is set in the script to interpret the problem of midlife crisis.

"Actually, I've been writing scripts for a long time, and when I was an actor in Los Angeles, I wrote three scripts. When I returned to Beijing in '97, I wanted to make one of the scripts into a movie. This is the story of the USSR and China, with an investment of almost 30 million. If you invest three or four million dollars in the United States, it can only be regarded as a small-budget film, but in China, this is a big production, and no one like me, a fledgling director, will invest in my play, so I gave up this script.

I went abroad in '90 and came back in '97, and the speed of change in the capital was so fast that it made people dizzy. Things are changing, and so are people. Especially after a few years of absence, this change is more noticeable. At that time, I thought what would it be like to return to Beijing after eight years in prison, and I wrote "Manhole Gaier", and Daxing was the person in my mind who was completely opposite to me.

The pace of change in the modernization of society is dizzying. It was like a disoriented plane, both the passengers and the crew were out of balance, and no one knew where the plane was flying. The changes make people a little scrambling.

I want to show the living conditions of several people represented by such social reality as Lu Qilin, Daxing, Xiaohui and Liu Yi, and through their stories, show the conflict between the old values, lifestyles and ideals and the forces of social change.

This kind of conflict is not a conflict in the traditional sense, because one of the conflicting parties, the social forces themselves, embodies a chaotic and contradictory value. But this power is so powerful that it holds this bewildered individual hostage to an unknown future. ”

It's always very tiring to talk to literary and artistic old and young people. Chen Daming is obviously the same kind of person as Lao Jia, they always want to express something in their films, what they want to metaphorize, and they have their various artistic pursuits.

And Wang Dalun obviously doesn't have their noble sentiments, his idea is very simple, first of all, being an actor is his profession, and acting well is a respect for his profession. And he enjoys his performance in the play, so that he can experience the joys, sorrows and sorrows of different lives, this kind of thing is really addictive sometimes, especially seeing his performance on the big screen, this feeling is really amazing.

He doesn't have the pursuit of literary and artistic old and young people, he just likes to do it. To paraphrase Lao Jia's words: the best job is to do what you love to do. Of course, the premise is that you can make money, and it is even better if you can make a lot of money.
