Chapter 960: Thirteen Hairpins
Yu Feihong took a shower, and when she came out, she saw a note stuffed under the door of her room.
When I picked it up, the note was left by Jiang Yuqin, she had been here just now, Yu Feihong was taking a bath and didn't hear a knock on the door, so she left a note saying that she would come back in half an hour.
Jiang Yuqin lived next door to Yu Feihong, and after the two arrived in Nanjing, they were arranged to stay in this hotel, and the crew only called them once in two days, which probably meant that the actors had not yet arrived, so let them wait first.
The accommodation crew has already been arranged, and the two of them are not used to living together, but they feel a little bored, and they often visit each other when they have nothing to do.
Yu Feihong was walking back with the note, when a banging knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Senior Sister Yu, are you in the room?"
Seeing that there was no reaction in the room, Jiang Yuqin raised his hand and was about to knock on the door again, but he didn't want to open the door by himself.
"I was taking a shower just now, and I didn't hear your knock on the door." Yu Feihong pushed open the door slightly apologetically, turned sideways to let Jiang Yuqin in, and then closed the door again.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Yuqin couldn't wait to say, "Senior Sister Yu, guess who I met just now?" ”
Yu Feihong was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "You won't really go to Teacher Song to ask for an autograph, will you?" ”
In the morning, when Yu Feihong and Jiang Yuqin went downstairs to have breakfast, they met Song Shu who was checking in in the hotel lobby.
Of course, this is not to blame Jiang Haoqin, throughout the 80s to 90s, there are two women in the Chinese mainland film industry who are the most eye-catching. One is Liu Xiaoqin. One is Song Shu.
Song Shu is still on it. When he was a student at the Sea Drama Academy. was photographed by the movie "Gold Rush King", starring in a woman who was sold 29 times, which is shocking. Since then, a series of masterpieces such as "Frog Girl", "Hazy Moon and Bird Hazy", "Deep Courtyard" and "Falling Mountain Wind" have made Song Shu quickly popular, and won the Best Actress Award at the 13th and 14th Chinese Film Hundred Flowers Awards.
Last year, Song Shu suddenly announced his retirement at the peak of his career and went to the United States, but he didn't expect to suddenly appear in Nanjing a year later, and he stayed in the same hotel as Yu Feihong and Jiang Yuqin.
Originally, Yu Feihong and Jiang Yuqin thought it was a coincidence. But later, when they found out that Song Shu lived next door to them, they suddenly understood that the other party was also here because of the movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".
As soon as Jiang Yuqin spoke, Yu Feihong subconsciously remembered Song Shu, but she didn't expect her to guess wrong this time.
"It's not Teacher Song, it's Teacher Fu Yiwei, she just arrived at night, and the room she lived in was two rooms away from us...... I met her in the aisle just now, and she smiled at me, and I felt that she was quite kind. Nothing shelves. ”
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" Yu Feihong's expression became very strange, and when they came, they met Yu Feihong's husband at the capital airport. Unexpectedly, after so many days, I met Fu Yiwei himself in Nanjing.
Jiang Yuqin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't believe it either...... First Teacher Song Shu, and now Teacher Fu Yiwei, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" won't be the story of thirteen women, right? ”
Yu Feihong shook her head, "The script that can impress director Spielberg will definitely not be so simple, but one thing is certain, the role we play this time may be related to prostitutes." ”
"Ahh Jiang Yuqin's mouth was big, and his expression looked a little incredulous.
"You don't have to look at me like that, there are a lot of movies abroad that feature criminals, prostitutes and other marginal people in society, because this kind of theme can often contain some thoughts on human nature and social issues, so the more famous the director, the more he likes this kind of movie. I have this feeling from the name of the movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", Jinling is the old name of Nanjing, and as soon as this name is mentioned, everyone can't help but think of the fireworks woman on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and then thirteen is a very unlucky number in the West, which should be hinting at some kind of ending of the characters, I think the biggest possibility is that these thirteen prostitutes died after the worst. ”
After listening to Yu Feihong's analysis, Jiang Yuqin was even more worried.
"If you play a prostitute, will there be that kind of shot?"
But Yu Feihong naturally understood what Jiang Yuqin was talking about, in fact, she was also a little worried about this issue.
When foreign directors deal with this kind of shots, they will not be as constrained as domestic directors, and the scale of the lens will definitely be a bit large, as an actor Yu Feihong is not rejecting this kind of performance, but he is a little worried that similar shots will appear in the movie, and the domestic audience will be a little unacceptable.
Gong Li's appearance in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was controversial because of her large-scale performance, and even she herself had to avoid Hong Kong after acting in this movie, far away from the public opinion controversy in the domestic society at that time, until the film won an award at Cannes, and China slowly accepted this movie.
Of course, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the thinking of domestic audiences is no longer as conservative as before, but it is estimated that many viewers still can't accept this kind of large-scale shot.
"What should I do then?" Jiang Yuqin is a little anxious, dedicating herself to art is not a joke, although she has been determined to be a good actor since she was admitted to Beiying, but her ideological consciousness is not high enough to ignore the world's vision.
Yu Feihong could only comfort Jiang Yuqin in turn at this time and said: "I only say that there is such a possibility, but it depends on the specific situation, at least I know that this kind of scene rarely appeared in Spielberg's previous films, and even if it is handled, it is very subtle, and considering that this movie is set against the background of the Nanjing Massacre, there should not be too much content in the plot that involves this aspect." ”
"But I heard that during the Nanjing Massacre, many women who didn't have time to escape were insulted by the Japanese, what if such a plot is involved in the film?" Jiang Yuqin's eyes were full of worry.
"Probably not."
Yu Feihong couldn't tell this question herself, so she had to tell a lie.
When she left Yu Feihong's room, Jiang Yuqin was still worried about this problem, and then she didn't sleep well all night, and the next morning she found dark circles in the mirror, but at this time she received a notice from the crew of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", saying that the director and producer would come together to meet with their actors in the morning.
Jiang Haoqin thought to herself that this time it was bad, she would definitely leave a bad impression on the director if she went out like this, and last night she was still wavering about whether to appear in this movie, but now she began to worry about whether she could keep her original role.
Just as she was suffering from gains and losses, Yu Feihong knocked on her door.
Over there, Lin Youlun and Spielberg arrived at the hotel immediately, Jiang Yuqin didn't come out for a long time, and Yu Feihong had to call her in person.
As soon as the door opened, seeing Jiang Yuqin's appearance that she hadn't rested, Yu Feihong thought she was sick, but after asking the reason, she couldn't cry or laugh.
"It's better to have a bad impression than to be late, right?"
Yu Feihong couldn't help but pull Jiang Yuqin out of the door, and hurriedly took the elevator downstairs.
Rushing to the door of the hotel, Fu Yiwei and Song Shu were already waiting there, and there was a beautiful woman standing next to them that Yu Feihong and Jiang Yuqin had never seen before.
Jiang Yuqin recognized the identity of this person, and then whispered in Yu Feihong's ear: "Isn't this Teacher Wang Ji?" Why did she come too? ”
Yu Feihong shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Before the two groups of people had time to greet each other, a black car had stopped at the door of the hotel, and the person in charge of the crew who had been in charge of picking them up to the hotel for the past two days got out of the passenger seat, and he got out of the car with the driver, and opened the rear doors on both sides at the same time, and then saw a foreigner wearing round rimless eyes and a young Chinese man getting out of the car.
The five actresses waiting at the door of the hotel all greeted them together, among which Wang Ji was the fastest, the first to shake Spielberg's hand, and introduced herself in fluent English.
Spielberg looked at Wang Ji with some surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Wang to speak English so fluently!" ”
"Stephen, as I told you on the way here, Miss Wang is a Chinese-American." Lin Youlun reminded him on the side, and then Spielberg turned his head and looked at him with a guilty expression, "Really? That may be when you say this I was distracted, please forgive me for my mistake! ”
Lin Youlun shrugged and signaled that Spielberg was okay.
Immediately following Wang Ji, Song Shu also greeted Spielberg in fluent English, learning the lesson of the last time, Spielberg looked at Lin Youlun again, but before he could ask, Song Shu took the initiative to explain that he was not an American, but had only spent time in the United States.
The third person who came to say hello was Yu Feihong, who was different from the others in that she smiled and nodded at Lin Youlun before she started talking to Spielberg in English.
The last ones were Fu Yiwei and Jiang Yiqin, both of whom had average English skills, and when they were feeling embarrassed, Lin Youlun took the initiative to introduce them to Spielberg, which was regarded as helping them out of the siege.
After that, Lin Youlun was about to further introduce the roles played by the five actresses in the movie to Spielberg, but Spielberg proposed that he wanted to guess first to see if there would be any discrepancies with Lin Youlun's arrangement.
After Lin Youlun agreed, Spielberg began to seriously look at the five actresses in front of him, and his eyes stayed on Jiang Yuqin behind Yu Feihong.
Spielberg looked back at Lin Youlun, "This Miss Jiang should be playing the schoolgirl who fled to the church for refuge, I guessed correctly, right?" (To be continued......)
