Chapter 111 It's good to have a simple life

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed in many places, and the crew was running around. As a director, Zhang Le naturally goes without saying, and among the actors, Yang Xin'er undoubtedly has the most places to go. Wudang Mountain, Shunan Zhuhai, Desert, Huangshan and other places, none of them are left behind.

Of course, even if Yang Xin'er's role in the film does not need to go to so many locations, as the producer of this film, she will naturally follow the crew. Although her producer just put on a name.

She could have avoided it, but she did. It is not so much that she followed the crew, but that she accompanied Zhang Le.

Running around with the crew is undoubtedly very tiring. But the most tiring thing about this play is not this, but the tiredness of figuring out the characters.

"It's finally over. In the future, I still don't take such films anymore, I'm too tired. When people are tired, their hearts are even more tired. Yang Xin'er said to Zhang Le. As she spoke, she hugged Zhang Le from behind and said, "I know you like to shoot commercial films, how did you get such a highly artistic film this time?" Emotion, reason, desire, what you shoot is not martial arts, it is culture, it is human nature. ”

"You're right, it's too tiring to shoot this type of film." Zhang Le smiled and said, "I can still make some commercial blockbusters in the future." Although the award-winning directors have a relatively higher status in the circle, where are the directors who make money more popular. In this movie, I am above the box office, and I lack confidence! ”

I don't know if I don't shoot it, even if I have the original version as a reference, Zhang Le still feels very tired and exhausted from filming this film. This tiredness is not physical, but brain tiredness, mental tiredness.

Before filming this film, Zhang Le had done a lot of homework, replayed the original version in his mind countless times, and studied all the comments and reports about this movie in his mind. I thought it would be smooth to shoot. But when it came time to actually shoot, Zhang Lecai felt very difficult.

I have to admit that Zhang Le's filming of this film is a bit too much. There is no diamond, but I have a porcelain job.

This film not only has vivid characters, twists and turns in the storyline, fresh and refined sound and painting, vivid and realistic, but also has rich cultural connotations.

The original director skillfully integrated elements of traditional Chinese martial arts into landscape culture and Chinese calligraphy, and continued throughout the film's storyline. Chinese calligraphy emphasizes softness and strength, while landscape embodies a sense of freedom.

For these, Zhang Le is indeed a little lacking. For these, Zhang Le has done too much homework, and he is afraid that he will make a classic into a bad movie.

Zhang Le is a strong person, since he has filmed, he must shoot well. Not to say better than the original, but also not worse than the original. If you have the original version as a reference, but it is still worse than the original, that is a failure. Failure, this is obviously not allowed by Zhang Le.

Therefore, this drama was filmed very slowly, and many shots were pondered by Zhang Le repeatedly. The pursuit of excellence made the entire crew suffer and almost collapsed.

During the filming, Zhang Le was not only strict with himself, but also with everyone. From the crew to all the actors, almost all of them were scolded by Zhang Le. Even an international superstar like Li Jie is not immune.

Yang Xin'er did not escape. It's just that she understands Zhang Le and bears it silently. She doesn't want to act in such a movie again, let alone Zhang Le to make such a movie. It's not that she can't stand being wronged, but that she feels sorry for Zhang Le.

How much Zhang Le has paid for this film, she can see it most clearly. She still prefers Zhang Le to make some simple films. Just like people, it's good to live simply. It's too complicated, and maybe the simple pleasure is lost.

She didn't want to affect Zhang Le, so when the film was almost finished, she said what she just said.

"Human nature is too complicated, and there are too few people who understand it!" Yang Xin'er sighed and said. looked at Zhang Le and then smiled, and said, "You lack confidence in the box office of this film, I am different from you." ”

The investment in this film is huge, almost breaking the record of domestic investment. Of course, that investment is still inferior to Hollywood's blockbusters that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. But compared with those big productions in China, it's really a big production.

Less than the outside, more than the inside!

There is no shortage of news in the entertainment industry, Zhang Le and Yang Xiner's new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made a lot of noise when filming began in July, but now more than four months have passed, and it has long lost its topicality.

And Zhang Le and others are also very low-key, and the finale of the film is also very low-key, without holding any finale meeting, or even notifying any media. Everyone seems to have forgotten that there is such a film.

Of the few filmed, Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er seemed to have disappeared in front of the media. And the two once again attracted public attention, not because of their film, but because of the names of the two of them in the guest list of the Spring Festival Gala announced. And the two are no longer performing in chorus.

The two will each sing a song on the stage of this year's Spring Festival Gala. What songs the two sang, the Spring Festival Gala program team did not announce it, but those who are familiar with Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er know that on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the songs sung by the two of them must be new songs.

As for what kind of new song it is, then we will only know when the time comes. However, with Zhang Le's musical talent, the song will not be too bad.

The Spring Festival Gala has been complained about every year, but it is still the most watched program.

Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er disappeared for a few months, but their popularity did not disappear, but because they had no news for several months, this one attracted more attention.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was completed, Zhang Le was busy with post-production, and Yang Xin'er did not take on other work. She needed some recuperation and relief. As Yu Jiaolong, she is too deep into the play and needs to relax herself.

In order to understand Zhang Le, who was busy with work, Yang Xin'er slowly took over the housework. However, in fact, there is no housework, laundry and mopping, etc., almost all of which are solved by the part-time aunt. Yang Xin'er most often cooks and washes dishes.

It's a pity that Yang Xin'er really doesn't have the talent in this area.

You can go to the hall, but you can't get into the kitchen! This is simply the truest portrayal of Yang Xin'er.

"I'd better do it!" Zhang Le said with a smile. He looked at the kitchen for some signs of chickens and dogs jumping, and had to speak.

"I'll give you a hand." Yang Xin'er did not refuse, but said with a smile.

"Forget it! You go and read the book, or look at the script I wrote in the last two days. Zhang Le smiled and said, "Kitchen fumes are not good for your skin." ”

"Am I useless?" Yang Xin'er didn't turn around and leave as before, but suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?" Zhang Le looked over suspiciously, and saw Yang Xin'er showing a lost expression.

"You come back from work every day and you have to cook for me. And I just stared. Yang Xin'er said, "I actually really want to cook a meal for you." Even if it's just a meal. ”

"Silly girl!" Zhang Le nodded Yang Xin'er's forehead, then took the apron he had just put on, wrapped it around Yang Xin'er, and said, "Then this dinner will be in charge of our Chef Yang, and I will do it for you." ”

"You're so nice!" Yang Xin'er smiled, glanced at the kitchen, was still a little dazed, and asked, "What should I do first!" ”
