Chapter 289: Oriental Girl [Second Watch]

Lin Youlun asked Wang Guxian to play Yue Lingshan because Li Jiaxin, who played this role in the original play, had not yet debuted at this time.

Li Jiaxin's fame purely depends on the word "beautiful", just in terms of appearance, Hong Kong's actresses who can compete with Li Jiaxin are only the other three of the four stunning stars in Hong Kong who were called with her at that time, unfortunately, Lin Qingxia and Guan Zhilin have been confirmed to play roles in "Smiling Proud Jianghu II. The East is Undefeated", and Wang Jixian has become the only alternative candidate.

Of course, there is no way to explain this to Wang Guxian, Wang Guxian has to think more, and Lin Youlun has no choice.

In the play "Smiling Proud Jianghu II: Undefeated in the East", it is not the most difficult to persuade Wang Guxian to play Yue Lingshan, but it is a big problem to persuade Lin Qingxia to play the undefeated East.

In Jin Yong's original work, he doesn't write much about Dongfang Undefeated, only saying that he is addicted to female red and has not shown up in the sect for a long time, a description of the standard villain BOSS. And the role of Dongfang Undefeated can leave a strong footprint in the history of Hong Kong films in later generations, first of all, thanks to Xu Ke, without his ghostly talent and meticulous refinement, there would be no Dongfang Undefeated who has a peerless style and upside down all beings.

Jin Yong's works have always disliked others to change them, but Xu Ke's version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is an exception. There are many such drama routines for the descendants of enemies to become lovers, but there are not many enemies who become lovers, and the enemies of the same sex become lovers.

It was Xu Ke's own idea to find Lin Qingxia to play Dongfang Undefeated from the beginning, because some time ago Xu Ke had just collaborated with Lin Qingxia in a movie "Dao Ma Dan", in which Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, and Ye Qianwen were three women in one scene, and Lin Qingxia minus her long hair and wore men's clothes. With a sassy and heroic leather. The image of the party was on the scene. It shows its handsome side to the fullest. In the film, she has neat short hair and a straight military uniform, which left a very deep impact on the audience.

When considering the candidate for the role of Dongfang Undefeated, Xu Ke immediately thought of Lin Qingxia, but Dongfang Undefeated is a villain after all, and he was injured under the sword of Linghu Chong after the movie, and committed suicide by falling off a cliff.

When I learned of Xu Ke's decision. Lin Youlun didn't have much surprise in his heart, but he faintly felt that Xu Ke and Hu Jinquan were completely carried this time, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu II. Undefeated in the East" were ready to find Lin Qingxia as the starring role, and it was very coincidental that the endings of these two movies committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. After the release of these two movies, whether Hong Kong martial arts movies will set off a wave of "cliff jumping" Lin Youlun does not know, but he knows that it is not difficult to persuade Lin Qingxia to run around filming with two crews at the same time.

When the two scripts were placed in front of Lin Qingxia at the same time, she did hesitate.

Choose by role. Yu Xiulian in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is more in line with Lin Qingxia's expectations, but in fact, she and Zhou Yunfa are only supporting roles in this film. The real protagonist is Yu Jiaolong played by Gong Li. And in "Smiling Proud Jianghu II: The East is Undefeated", he plays the protagonist, but unfortunately the East is undefeated and is a villain.

From the perspective of collaborators, Hu Jinquan is a master martial arts director who has been famous for a long time, Xu Ke is the flag bearer of new martial arts movies, and both films are invested by Lin Youlun, so it is really difficult for Lin Qingxia to choose.

Lin Qingxia couldn't make up her mind for a long time, but when she raised her head, she saw Lin Youlun sitting opposite leisurely holding coffee, and she was angry in her heart, so she pushed both scripts in front of Lin Youlun.

"You brought the scripts, you can choose one for me!"

Lin Youlun put down the coffee cup quite unexpectedly, looked at Lin Qingxia and said, "The roles given in these two scripts, Sister Qingxia are sure that there is no problem?" ”

Lin Qingxia nodded, and a hint of ridicule secretly flashed in her eyes: she kept shouting about her sister, but she gave people such a big problem, and now it will make you taste embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Lin Youlun said with a relaxed face: "It's simple, since Sister Qingxia doesn't know which one to choose, then take both movies!" ”

Lin Qingxia's expression froze, at first she thought that Lin Youlun was joking with herself, but the expression on Lin Youlun's face was extremely serious, and she couldn't help but wonder, could she have guessed wrong?

Lin Youlun said to Lin Qingxia seriously: "Sister Qingxia wants to listen to my opinion, and my opinion is that you can't miss both movies." ”

Lin Qingxia held the coffee cup in both hands and didn't speak, but her eyes were clearly asking what was wrong.

""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was handed over to Hu Jinquan to shoot, from the beginning I didn't expect the box office of the movie to be high, but I am going to send this film overseas to compete, and when the conditions are ripe, this film will be promoted to the world...... "Lin Youlun's meaning is very simple, Lin Qingxia starred in this movie, and she can be familiar with it in front of overseas audiences, which is what many Asian actors dream of now.

Just as Lin Qingxia was pondering, Lin Youlun then said: "The role of Yu Xiulian is actually not difficult for Sister Qingxia, but Dongfang is undefeated, this role is very challenging, if this role can be played well, it will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of martial arts films, and Sister Qingxia's future drama can also be greatly broadened." "The benefits brought to Lin Qingxia by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can only be seen in the long run, but "Smiling Proud Jianghu II. Undefeated in the East" can bring immediate benefits to Lin Qingxia.

"It's not impossible to play both, but I have a question."

Lin Qingxia wanted to know whether the undefeated Dongfang Dao was a man or a woman, which made Lin Youlun embarrassed.

Xu Ke's unbridled imagination has made Dongfang Undefeated have already jumped out of the aesthetic framework that gender can define, combining the tenderness of women and the cruelty of men. Lin Youlun has always felt that if the beauty of men and women is extreme, they will be biased towards neutrality, Lin Qingxia and Zhang Yurong are the two best examples, and Dongfang Undefeated is the screen image that embodies this beauty to the fullest.

"Men and women, turning all beings upside down." Lin Youlun could only answer like this, for fear that Lin Qingxia would not be satisfied, and he specially added: "The undefeated Dongfang in this movie is all dressed in women's clothes, and Sister Qingxia must be fine." ”

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Lin Qingxia has played a man in a movie, as early as the 70s, she played Jia Baoyu in Li Hanshen's "Dream of Red Mansions", and her sister Lin is the winner of the Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards.

When filming this drama at that time, Li Hanshen originally planned to let Zhang Aijia play Jia Baoyu and Lin Qingxia be Sister Lin, but when the two put on costumes and stood there side by side, Li Hanshen felt that something was wrong, how could there be a reason that Sister Lin was half a head taller than Brother Bao?

Otherwise, how to say that a big director is a big director, Li Hanshen's solution is very simple, directly let the two roles be reversed, and the matter is solved.

"As for the schedule, Sister Qingxia doesn't have to worry at all, the movies supervised by Xu Ke are generally shot very quickly, but Hu Jinquan is a well-known water miller, maybe when "Smiling Proud Jianghu II. The East is Undefeated" has been filmed, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" may have just completed preparations."

Lin Youlun said this, and the last little doubt in Lin Qingxia's heart was dispelled, and the matter of taking over two movies at the same time was decided.
