Chapter 368: A Mass of Harmony [One Change]
"I see, it's called the controversy of art." Zhou Yimin's success in hosting this talk show is very important because she knows how to ask questions, which can not only satisfy the audience's curiosity and gossip, but also take care of the faces and feelings of the interviewed guests.
Xu Ke laughed, "Not exactly, the films made by director Hu Jinquan must be artistic, while I am more inclined to make films, I think that a film always has to make a trade-off between artistry and commerciality or choose a balance point." ”
Talking about the commerciality of the film, Zhou Comin then asked a question related to this: "What is Director Xu's box office expectations for this movie?" ”
"Of course, the more the merrier."
Xu Ke didn't give a specific number, because he didn't know anything about it.
Summer files have always been the main battlefield for film companies to compete for the box office, and this year, in order to avoid the "Strange Masterpiece in Disguise" directed by Liu Zhenwei and starring Zhou Xingchi and "Black Super SWAT Team" directed by Zhang Mingming, Zhai Long, and Chen Xiaochun, the two super box office blockbusters, many film companies have postponed the release of the movie, and the theater chain has piled up all the previous film schedules to July and August, and there are more than 50 new films released in the entire summer file, and the movie box office will inevitably usher in a tragic fight.
"In the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" series of movies, you have changed a lot to the two characters of Ling Hu Chong and Dongfang Undefeated, aren't you afraid that Mr. Jin Yong will scold you in the newspaper?" Putting aside the topic of box office, Zhou Comin continued to "challenge" Xu Ke.
"Mr. Kim Yong's works have been adapted a lot by TV and movies, but none of the versions of the adaptation are completely based on the original novel, since it is an adaptation. It is definitely necessary to incorporate your own ideas on the basis of the original work. Actually, my favorite Jin Yong novel is "The Condor Heroes". But to make a movie, it is most suitable to choose "Smiling Proud Jianghu". At that time, when I was conceiving, I thought that the villains in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" were all good-looking, whether it was Yue Buqun, Let Me Go, or Dongfang Undefeated, they were all good-looking. I like to put the characters open-minded and far-sighted, and being in that environment, there is a big gap between Hu Chong and Yue Buqun, one is fearless. It's a very open feeling, one is the image of calculating. In the adaptation, I made it difficult for Hu Chong to go through the melancholy part, and didn't let too many sad things. Xu Ke explained.
"Director Xu said so much, in fact, I still think it's better to ask Ling Huchong himself." Zhou Comin then changed the object of the question, and Xu Ke also handed the microphone to Li Lianjie.
Among the five people on the show today, Li Lianjie is the most serious one, sitting very upright, and his face is also sitting upright, which is similar to his image in the movie.
"Mr. Li cooperated with three beautiful women in one movie, and they are all infatuated with you in the movie. Isn't that a good feeling? Zhou asked a question about the movie itself.
"Actually, I personally disagree with the image of the prodigal son in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but Director Xu asked me to act like this. said that the audience will like it more, in fact, I personally still like to play some honest and responsible roles. ”
Li Lianjie didn't talk much, and Zhou Comin didn't feel that he couldn't ask too many interesting answers from him, so he took out a movie poster that had been prepared a long time ago, which was played by Lin Qingxia Dongfang Undefeated, dressed in red, with a squinting look, which can leave a deep impression at a glance.
Zhou Comemin held the poster and asked, "Is Sister Qingxia a woman playing a male role in this movie?" ”
"I asked the producer before taking over the film, and I asked the director and producer during the filming of the film, and they didn't give me a very clear answer, so I don't know if the undefeated Dongfang is a man or a woman, maybe she is a character who wanders between the sexes." Lin Qingxia, who was sitting next to Li Lianjie, took the microphone and replied.
"I need to explain this question." Xu Ke suddenly interjected, and Zhou Comin took another microphone to him. "After the release of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", someone asked me where the East was undefeated, so there is this movie. The design idea of Dongfang Undefeated comes from a full-body red shape in my previous "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", which is very proud and grandiose, and I think it is more appropriate to let Lin Qingxia play it. ”
"So Dongfang is undefeated and fell in love with Linghu Chong?"
Zhou Comin's questioning was very sharp, of course, Xu Ke had already prepared for this.
"The plot was not like this at the beginning, but after Lin Qingxia agreed to play this role, I thought that the relationship between the protagonist and the villain should not be too far, so I arranged for Dongfang Undefeated to have a romantic emotional relationship with Ling Hu Chong."
Zhou Comin then asked: "Can Sister Qingxia accept this 'relationship' arranged by Director Xu?" ”
"Since I joined the crew, whether it is director Cheng Xiaodong or director Xu Ke, they have kept coming to me and telling me how this role is, which roughly means that this is not a villain. Because I had never played a villain in a previous movie, they were worried that I would have this concern, but fortunately, after the performance, I watched the sample film and was still very satisfied with the role. Lin Qingxia picked up the microphone and said.
Because this role is the soul of this movie, after Lin Qingxia finished speaking, Xu Ke then added: "I always feel that many characteristics of men and women are actually a reaction to social values. Xiang Lin Qingxia has always been a very pure image before, but I always wanted to turn her into the opposite, so I asked her if she could cut off her long hair, she said yes, and then there was "Dao Ma Dan", this time I asked her again if she could accept a subversive role, and she agreed, and then there was the undefeated Dongfang who had a very bold image change in the film. ”
"The role of Yue Lingshan in the film seems to have changed a lot?" After chatting about Dongfang's undefeated, Zhou Comin immediately changed the topic.
When the show was played here, Lin Youlun, who was sitting in front of the TV, immediately became nervous, and he knew that Zhou Yimin was going to interview Wang Guxian next.
Xu Ke probably knew the relationship between Zhou Yimin and Wang Guxian, so on this question, he chose to answer lightly.
"Regarding the role of Yue Lingshan, I have to start with the protagonist of the film, because at the beginning, when I was thinking about adaptation, I had the idea of letting Lin Pingzhi be the protagonist and Ling Hu Chong as a supporting role, but then I felt that Lin Pingzhi's story was not as interesting as Ling Hu Chong. In the original novel, I believe many readers will think that it is a pity that Yue Lingshan is not with Ling Hu Chong, so I want to make up for it in the movie. The character itself has changed a lot from the original novel, but this character is actually in the first part, and it is not a particularly big change in "Undefeated in the East". ”
"How did Xiaoxian come up with the idea of taking on this role?" Zhou Comin opened his mouth and asked Wang Guxian the first question.
Because of Lin Youlun, Wang Guxian once thought that she would encounter all kinds of difficulties from Zhou Comin on the show, so before deciding to go to the show, she was mentally prepared enough, but Zhou Comin's shout of "Xiaoxian" surprised her.
Wang Guxian went to Hong Kong to act in the first TV series "Kunlun" co-starring with Zhou Comin, speaking of which, the two have known each other for a long time, and the media often compared the two during that time, and now looking back, in fact, many things were provoked by the media, in fact, the relationship between the two did not reach the point where there is no you and me.
"Actually, I just want to change my style and try different roles. The first movie I acted in Taiwan was a ghost movie, and after I arrived in Hong Kong, I acted in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Midnight Bell", either playing ghosts or related to ghosts, after acting in these two movies, I thought that I would never act in ghost movies again, it just so happened that this role was very interesting, and it was quite challenging for me, so I agreed. ”
In the movie, Yue Lingshan has a very manly feeling for Ling Hu Chong, because she has been with boys since she was a child. It's also very interesting to find Wang Guxian to play this role, we used a lot of ways to let her pretend to be a man, I told her, you are like a man pretending to be a woman, but after filming the men's part, there is a scene in the film where she puts on makeup and changes back to the female turn, wanting to attract the attention of Ling Hu Chong, and everyone can't adapt to it. Xu Ke brought the topic back to the movie.
"Xiaoxian hasn't heard from you for a long time, did you go outside to film?" Zhou Comemin asked about this, and Lin Youlun, who was sitting in front of the TV, raised her heart again, and looked at Wang Guxian nervously, not knowing how she would answer.
"Yes, I went to the mainland to film during this time, and then brought back a lot of souvenirs...... Wang Guxian took out a bag from behind the seat, took out three terracotta dolls from it, and gave one to Zhou Yimin first, and then one to Lin Qingxia and one to Guan Zhilin.
Waiting for Wang Guxian to sit back in his seat, Xu Ke refused to do it, "Why are they the only ones who have it, the one between me and Li Lianjie?" ”
Wang Guxian covered his mouth and laughed, and said: "I have already sent one to Director Cheng Xiaodong on the mainland, and Director Xu, you forget it, and you will be the director of that drama in the future and ask me to play the heroine, and then I will give you another one." ”
"And what about mine?" Seeing that the atmosphere was so lively, Li Lianjie couldn't help but join in the fun.
"Brother Li Lianjie himself came from the mainland, and I will give you the things I bought from the mainland, it seems very insincere, and next time I will be in Taiwan, I will definitely bring you a special product from Taiwan." Wang Guxian replied.
Seeing this, Lin Youlun finally breathed a long sigh of relief, he had been worried that Wang Guxian and Zhou Yimin would have a conflict on the show, but watching this situation on TV, it is estimated that that kind of situation is unlikely to happen.
