Chapter 459: Interview with Xing Ye [One Update]
When it comes to zombie movies in Hong Kong, many people will involuntarily think of such a picture: zombies wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, with their hands stretched out and their hands together like sparrows.
And when it comes to zombies, everyone will inevitably think of the nemesis of zombies - Maoshan Taoist.
In the most popular years of zombie films, many movie stars in Hong Kong played the role of Maoshan Dao Chang who subdued demons and subdued demons in all kinds of zombie films, but Lin Zhengying was the most popular and the most popular.
With one-word eyebrows, cold humor, and quick skills, you can roughly outline Lin Zhengying's image in zombie movies, and he himself is a very serious and old-fashioned person in real life.
"Now I'm doing things for ATV, and Lin Youlun is a rival, so it's better to pretend that I don't know each other, so as not to be embarrassed to meet."
"Why are you so rigid, what would happen if you said hello?" Yuan Jiqiong stomped her foot angrily, "Wireless is still in Mr. Shao's hands, Mr. Lin is just a director of TVB, and he has no direct conflict of interest with ATV, not to mention his identity in the film industry, others are doing everything possible to get to know him, but you are avoiding it like a ghost, I don't know what to say about you." ”
Lin Zhengying was dragged out by Yuan Jiqiong, and hurriedly shook off her hand, "What are you doing?" ”
"Do you just want to keep making TV series and don't want to be able to make movies again one day?" Yuan Jiqiong was thinking about Lin Zhengying wholeheartedly, and wanted to pull him to Lin Youlun to apologize.
"I'm not going."
Lin Zhengying's stubborn temper came up, and Yuan Jiqiong couldn't pull him at all.
Lin Zhengying is wooden by nature, serious and shy, and the perfect boyfriend who is empathetic in the minds of many women is not close at all, but Yuan Jiqiong took a fancy to his kindness and reliability, and recognized him with a dead eye. Even when the two of them were together, Yuan Jiqiong took the initiative to chase after them.
"If you don't go, I'll go!"
Yuan Jiqiong turned around to leave, but Lin Zhengying pulled her back.
"Okay, even if I beg you to be okay, I really don't want to face Mr. Lin now, don't embarrass me."
Lin Zhengying feels that she is now a failure in film creation, so she does not have the courage and confidence to stand in front of Lin Youlun, and the reason for all this has to start from the movie "One Eyebrow Taoist" directed and acted by Lin Zhengying last year.
In 1984, a "Mr. Zombie" was a box office hit. The audience flocked to it, attracting countless followers. The following year, "Tales of the Night", which borrowed from the model of Western vampire families, was born, which pushed Hong Kong's zombie films to the extreme.
Seeing that zombie films have such a market, the Hong Kong film industry immediately set off a craze for zombie films. "Legend of the Night" is a high-cost special effects movie that most people can't learn, but "Mr. Zombie" is a traditional Maoshan zombie film that is very easy to imitate. So a large number of followers have sprung up.
Because it has been imitated by many followers, it seems that there is no creativity in imitation. In order to avoid the poor skills of Hong Kong zombie films, Lin Zhengying also began to actively learn from "Tales of the Night" and integrate Western vampires into zombie films in order to avoid Hong Kong zombie movies from being poor and self-defeating. "One Eyebrow and Long Road" is the product of this "combination of earth and ocean".
Lin Zhengying has put a lot of effort into this movie, and the "chicken and duck talk" between Maoshan Taoist and Western Christians, the design of Maoshan Taoism and Western zombie wars can all see Lin Zhengying's efforts, but unfortunately after the release of this movie, the box office is only more than 10 million. Because of the previous investment regardless of the cost, the last time was not profitable.
Lin Zhengying was hit hard by this incident, but ATV Chairman Lin Baixin personally came forward at this time and hired Lin Zhengying with a high salary of one million to start filming a zombie-themed TV series for ATV.
At a time when many people feel that film and television works with traditional Maoshan Taoist techniques have no future, ATV showed such great sincerity, how could Master Lin not be moved, he did not hesitate to turn down his job in the film industry and concentrate on helping ATV shoot this TV series.
Yuan Jiqiong is a student of the 82nd phase of the ATV training class, and ASI tailor-made Lin Zhengying in this TV series called "Zombie Taoist", she is one of the heroines. The two fell in love because of the play, but Lin Zhengying didn't understand the amorous feelings, Yuan Jiqiong often talked to him after filming, and often offered to drive him home after finishing work, Master Lin was so slow that he didn't find a piece of Yuan Jiqiong's mind for a long time.
In the end, Yuan Yuqiong took the initiative to confess, Lin Zhengying felt the deep affection of the beauty, and the two came together.
Yuan Juqiong knew that Lin Zhengying had such a character, and she wanted to save face and suffer from it, but there was nothing she could do about him.
"Okay, if you don't go, you won't go, let's watch a movie."
——
Zhang Yimou's overall impression of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is that it is too noisy and noisy, and he is not very acceptable to this kind of nonsensical comedy.
Whether it is Tang Bohu's performance art painted with Zhu Zhishan's body, modern percussion performances, fashion model gaits, and poison introductions full of advertising words, the original talented and beautiful drama has been changed beyond recognition, which is stunned but hilarious.
The extraordinary imagination of Hong Kong filmmakers who subvert classical themes is vividly displayed in this film, and the two daughters sitting on the sidelines, Zhou Yimin and Gong Li, have long laughed together, and the audience downstairs is laughing constantly.
Walking out of the cinema, Zhou Comin and Gong Li walked in front arm in arm, still continuing to talk about this movie. Zhou Comin has decided to make a special program for "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", so he wants to learn some things about the filming process of this movie from Gong Li.
Lin Youlun and Zhang Yimou fell behind the two and walked out of the cinema, Zhang Yimou said with emotion: "Maybe I'm really in the wrong place today, in fact, I should go to watch "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with director Chen Qige." ”
The implication is that he can't appreciate such commercial films.
Lin Youlun smiled noncommittally, "Next week there will be a seminar attended by many directors and producers, the topic is how to balance the commerciality and artistry of film, Director Zhang can go if he is interested, you should meet a lot of like-minded people there." ”
Zhang Yimou nodded and secretly wrote down the matter.
Lin Youlun was still thinking about whether he would meet Lin Zhengying again when the movie ended, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.
When they were separated, Zhou Comin joked with Gong Li. Maybe the two will see each other again on the show soon.
I didn't expect this to become a prophecy.
"Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" made the audience rush to it on the first day of the film festival's test screening, but because of the limited number of shows, many viewers couldn't take a look, and wireless saw that many people were looking forward to this movie, so they immediately decided to invite Zhou Xingchi to do a show, and the host was looking for Zhou Comin.
The show also invited several other main actors and actresses in the movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" to be guests, but at the beginning, it was a face-to-face interview with Zhou Xingchi by Zhou Comin.
"This "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is very different from the previous "Realization Monster" in style, do you always change like this?" At the beginning of the show, Zhou Comin asked such a question.
"After filming "Realization Monster". A reporter asked me, why do you want to use so many stunts this time, there is no performance mode to follow in the previous Zhou Xingchi movies, and this "Realization Monster" is not as good as the previous movies. I told him that Borges had said it. He was Hamlet, he was Don Quixote. He was Ulysses. He was everybody, and then he was nothing, and I'm Borges now. ”
Zhou Comin frowned slightly, "It's so profound." ”
Zhou Xingchi shrugged nonsensically, "Actually, I'm talking nonsense." ”
"Ah......h A surprised look on his face.
Zhou Xingchi laughed happily, "Seeing the reporter's dumbfounded appearance, I was secretly laughing in my heart at that time, and I knew that I was stunned again this time." Then in the newspaper the next day, there will definitely be a lot of people talking about the possible direction of Zhou Xingchi's future films, but they all think wrong, I just want to be myself. Those who scold me for being superficial and powerless in acting, scolding me for movies as pure commodities, and scolding me for shit are actually more pitiful, what can they do if they scold? ”
"I only care if my film is a blockbuster, and the popularity of a movie proves that there are still a lot of people who like me, and if someone likes my film, I will continue to make it like this. filmed "Strange Masterpiece in Disguise" because I had never made a movie with this theme of transformation before, and then filmed "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" because I used to shoot fashion dramas, so I wanted to try a costume film, of course, the funny elements in my movie have not changed, you should have seen this movie, do you think it's funny? ”
Zhou Comemin nodded, yesterday in the cinema, her stomach hurt from laughter.
Zhou Xingchi applauded and said: "Great, as long as making a movie can bring joy to everyone, and do this, I think I have succeeded." ”
Zhou then asked, "Do you feel that you are very successful now?" ”
Zhou Xingchi waved his hand very modestly, "No, in fact, I'm just an actor." ”
"An actor who can earn tens of millions a year?" Zhou Comin added.
Zhou Xingchi sweated wildly, coughed and said, "This...... Not as much as you say. ”
Zhou Comin finally let go of Zhou Xingchi, picked up the microphone and pointed it at the camera and said: "Today we also invited several other actors from "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", after listening to Zhou Xingchi's inner monologue, let's take a look at what Zhou Xingchi is like in the eyes of others." ”
"He is a very serious person outside the play, unlike me, who likes to joke with everyone in and out of the play."
The first guest to be invited out was Chen Baishen, and under Zhou Comin's questioning, he also revealed an interesting story during filming.
"If you have watched the movie, you will know that there is a scene in it, Zhu Zhishan, who I played, owed money to others and wanted to ask Tang Bohu for a painting to pay off the debt, and then he wrapped my body in ink and painted on paper."
"You seem to be all about that scene. Nude. Zhou Comin suddenly interjected.
When it came to this, Chen Baixiang's expression was not only embarrassed, but even faintly proud.
"Before filming, I told Zhou Xingchi that I really sacrificed a lot in this movie, the first time I was naked. The drama was handed over, and then he was very shocking and said, do you think we are filming AV, you all. Who sees naked? ”
"So you were used by him as a humanoid brush? I'm curious if the ink on your body has been washed off? Zhou Comemin asked again.
Chen Baishen pulled off his clothes and exposed his arms, "You must wash it, otherwise you will have to go to Africa to be a chief." ”
Zhou Comin nodded, and then turned his face to the camera again, "After listening to Brother Lak's self-exposure, let's make a little game, in the movie, Tang Bohu played by Zhou Xingchi wants to find out the real Qiu Xiang from a row of brides covered with turbans, today we also invited Miss Gong Li, the actor of Qiu Xiang, to the show, and then we want to ask Zhou Xingchi to perform a trick of Qiu Xiang." ”
"Ah......" Zhou Xingchi picked up the microphone, "Don't you?" ”
Six "Gong Li" wearing the same clothes and masks stood in a row on the stage, and Zhou Xingchi could only stand three meters away to observe, and then he had to choose who was the real Gong Li.
"Will there be any penalty for choosing the wrong one?" Zhou Xingchi asked.
"The first time you choose the wrong one, you have to go around the stage with the person you selected on your back; If you choose the wrong one the second time, you have to let the person you choose by yourself and choose the wrong one the third time...... Well, I'm sure your luck won't be that bad. ”
"This is a punishment, it's clearly a reward, no, no, I want to participate!" Chen Baixian coaxed on the side.
"Okay, Brother Lak, you're going to do it next time!" Zhou Comin explained the rules, and then asked Zhou Xingchi to start making a choice.
"That's Number 3!" Zhou Xingchi pointed to one.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Alright, please take off your mask on Number 3!"
No. 3 took off his mask, it was not Gong Li, Zhou Xingchi had no choice but to turn around the stage with the other party on his back.
The second time he made a choice, Zhou Xingchi thought about it for a while, and then chose No. 5, took off his mask, and it was actually a man!
Zhou Xingchi was stunned for half a second, and then scolded: "Li Jianren, what kind of plane are you doing?" ”
Before the audience could react from this accident, Chen Baishen began to lead them to the worst, "Kiss!" Kiss! ”
The people below all followed Chen Baixiang to coax, and Zhou Xingchi said helplessly: "He's a man, how can I kiss him?" ”
"Don't cheat!" Zhou Comin covered his mouth and smiled.
Zhou Xingchi had no choice but to bite Li Jianren on the face.
The third choice, Zhou Xingchi took a deep breath, and Chen Baishen cheered him up beside him, saying that he must not choose the wrong one this time.
"By the way, what will be the punishment if you fail this time?" Zhou Xingchi asked.
Zhou Comin was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I and the choreographer team didn't expect you to choose three times at first, so we ......"
"So there's no punishment, right?" Zhou Xingchi was overjoyed when he heard it, "This time I will choose No. 1!" ”
The mask was taken off, revealing that face was Gong Li!
