795 The indispensable "Tomorrow Will Be Better"

Speaking of which, since participating in the filming of "Jingwumen", Wang Xiaohu has not run a trick for more than ten years. [No pop-up novel network]

In his career as an actor, only "Jingwumen" and "The Journey of a Warrior" appeared as a supporting role, and he starred in other movies, and this kind of cameo work was really the first time for him.

Although the costume on her body was a little restrained, although this appearance was ridiculed by Long Zichen as cheesy, this girl still sat there seriously, pushed the toad sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and said, "This is our rare debut-female cameo show." ”

This made the whole crew laugh.

Long Zichen hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not very tacky, it's just that you are used to wearing Tang costumes and casual clothes, and when you change into formal clothes at first glance, you still have a serious and majestic expression, which makes people feel very awkward." ”

"I'm dedicating my life to art."

The crew laughed again.

Wang Xiaohu's cameo plot is very few, only a few shots, two scenes, one scene is he and Leslie Cheung sitting together watching Zhu Baoyi on the stage play the cello, during which Leslie Cheung imitated him and raised Erlang's legs, which made him frown greatly, but Zhu Baoyi on the stage messed up the exam, and he clapped his hands like a spoof.

Another scene is that Zhu Baoyi and Leslie Cheung complained to each other and walked out of the theater, Wang Xiaohu just came out in a private car, but Leslie Cheung hit the rear window glass with a cello, and he opened his mouth wide and said "ah".

Only the first scene was filmed today, Wang Xiaohu, Zhu Baoyi and others are all old actors, and they are completely one.

However, because Leslie Cheung was participating in the filming for the first time, he had little experience, and John Woo jumped to his feet.

"Shizai, is it difficult to cross your legs and make eye contact with the boss? How did you do it, ng five or six! ”

Wu Yusen's face turned blue with anger, threw the script on the seat, and ran to the side to smoke a cigarette.

Leslie Cheung looked embarrassed, somewhat aggrieved, and his mood was very low.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shizai, do you feel very wronged?" ”

Leslie Cheung nodded, immediately shook his head again, and said, "Boss, I, I feel that I may not be really suitable for filming." ”

Leslie Cheung actually retreated, which is not a good sign.

If this guy suddenly stops filming, Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", Xu Zai in "The True Story of A Fei", Ouyang Feng in "East Evil and West Poison", and Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story", where can I find someone for these classic roles in film history?

That's a classic, especially "Farewell My Concubine" shines directly in Cannes.

No, you have to convince this guy if you say anything.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiaohu said: "It's okay, you're a newcomer, it's normal to not understand acting." ”

"Look at Fa Tsai, he didn't know how to act before, the first time he participated in the filming of "Ip Man", he was scolded by me more fiercely than you, and now his acting skills are mature and self-contained, and he doesn't rely on hard work?"

"Look at Huang Yuehua, Andy Lau, and Stephen Chow, which one of them was born to film, didn't they all rely on filming to come step by step?"

"The last thing we Hong Kong people lack is the fighting spirit." Wang Xiaohu saw that Leslie Cheung was listening carefully, and continued: "Let's talk about you again, you won the runner-up in the 77 Asian Amateur Singer Competition, and then entered the music world, during which you must have been scolded by Qi Ye, if you gave up at the beginning, would you have achieved today?" ”

"That's all I can say, it's up to you to decide whether you take this road or not, think about it."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he got up and walked to Wu Yusen's side, after finishing the actor's ideological work, he had to communicate with the director, sometimes the producer is not easy to do.

"Ah John, don't be angry, Shizai is a newcomer, ng is ordinary."

Wu Yusen snuffed out the cigarette butt and said a little depressedly: "Boss, you may not know that Shizai is too easily influenced by the outside media, and after he saw the newspaper today, he has not been in a state." I've said he's been several times, and he's still like this, obviously uncooperative, what else can I do? If you hadn't been optimistic about him, I would have proposed a replacement long ago. ”

"Give him more opportunities, usually you, Fa Tsai, and Dillon also have to pass on some filming experience to him." Wang Xiaohu sat down and said, "Isn't he out of shape today?" First change the filming of the hair boy and Dillon, and I pulled him out to adjust his mood. ”

"Okay." John Woo didn't have any idea, so he had to get up and arrange the next scene shooting.

"Shizai, you come back to the company with me." Wang Xiaohu called Leslie Cheung, dragged Long Zichen again, and hurried to the company.

On the car back, Wang Xiaohu said, "Zichen, have you done the people you dug from Taiwan?" ”

Long Zichen pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's been dug up a long time ago, what your boss Wang ordered, the little woman is definitely the support of the horse, how dare you delay your plan." ”

"Hehe, look at what you said, I'm not for myself, Lisheng Records is not an additional general!" Wang Xiaohu smiled: "That's Luo Dayou!" ”

"I didn't expect to dig him up so easily." Long Zichen said: "The person sent said that if it weren't for the two collaborations of "Your Look" and "If the Wine Sells Nothing", plus Lisheng Records is a little famous, and Lijun is the middleman, Luo Dayou wouldn't want to change jobs." ”

"Thank you Lijun for me."

Long Zichen raised her eyebrows slightly, and said angrily: "Why don't you thank me?" ”

"Ugh! Thank you too. Wang Xiaohu grinned embarrassedly and said, "Who are the two of us, you are so polite." ”

"Hmph."

The way the two of them work like flirting and scolding made Leslie Cheung in the back seat feel very surprised, since joining Lisheng Records, it is the first time he has seen the boss lady so cute and feminine, you must know that Long Zichen has always maintained the image of a strong woman to the outside world.

After a long time, Leslie Cheung remembered one thing: "Boss, isn't the theme song of "The True Color of Heroes" sung by me, Uncle Zhan and Uncle Hui have prepared the lyrics and songs, why did they invite Luo Dayou?" ”

This is what Leslie Cheung can't understand, after all, singing is his only specialty at present, if even the theme song is snatched away, his status in Lisheng will also be challenged.

"You are still responsible for singing the theme song "Love of the Year". Long Zichen saw that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "We let Luo Dayou be in charge of one of the episodes, Ah Hu said that if that episode is missing, the meaning of the whole movie will be greatly reduced." ”

Leslie Cheung let out an "oh", and his heart finally settled down.

After arriving at Concordia, Xiahou Mo was already waiting at the front desk, and when he saw Wang Xiaohu and the three of them coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Hu, the recording studio is ready, when will it start?" ”

"Hmm."

Xiahou Mo's efficiency is getting faster and faster, Wang Xiaohu nodded in approval, "You take Shizai to record the song first, where is Luo Dayou?" ”

"VIP reception room." After Xia Houmo finished speaking, he led Leslie Cheung to record a song

"Mr. Luo, let's make a long story short, this time we poached you, on the one hand, there is a new film that needs your help to complete the interlude, and on the other hand, I have heard about your achievements in music for a long time, and I want you to develop in Hong Kong."

Wang Xiaohu likes to go straight now, after all, the company has a bunch of things to deal with, and he has to make arrangements for a trip to the United States in a week.

With excitement on his face, Luo Dayou got up and said, "Mr. Wang, Radisson has made it clear to me, I am deeply honored to be able to join Lisheng Records, thank you and Miss Long for watching." ”

"Happy." Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and handed over a printed document: "Oh, this is my request for the new film interlude, I want a group of innocent and lovely children, praying for a good peace with their sincere singing The main reason is that the action scenes of this movie are too violent, and we must convey a good wish, the past and the present cannot be changed, and only tomorrow can be changed...... What's more, it is a children's chorus, and children themselves represent hope! ”

"Tomorrow will be better?" Luo Dayou asked after reading the document.

"Yes, it's "Tomorrow Will Be Better"" Wang Xiaohu suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "This is the name of the episode, yes, yes, how did I forget." ”

Back then, Wang Xiaohu remembered this episode in "The True Color of Heroes", it sounded catchy, but this girl didn't know the name of the song, if he knew the title of the song and the complete lyrics, how could he ask the original creator Luo Dayou, wouldn't it be better for him to do it himself?

But he's too busy to have the time and heart to toss, so it's better to let the original creator of the song create it.

"The True Color of Heroes" itself describes a dirty society, and when the law has no way to solve the problem, it is necessary to use the most tragic method to end it.

It was like a foreshadowing of the eve of the Great War, the calm before the storm, and that feeling was something that ordinary singers and singing groups could not sing.

What's more, "Tomorrow Will Be Better" echoes the English title of "The True Color of Heroes" "A-Better-Tomorrow".

Heroes and chivalrous warriors, the spirit of the rivers and lakes, is just our drifting childhood dream.

Therefore, with the wonderful performances of Chow Yun-fat, Dillon, Leslie Cheung, Li Zixiong, Zhu Baoyi, Zeng Jiang and others, it is not outstanding, and with Leslie Cheung's "Love of the Year" is not perfect, only with "Tomorrow Will Be Better" can the artistic conception of the whole movie be raised to a higher level.

After all, John Woo still doesn't know how to release white pigeons in this year, and "Tomorrow Will Be Better" is an indispensable part of the film.

"A bunch of innocent and lively children?" Luo Dayou frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he recommended: "Mr. Wang, there is a children's choir established in the 70s in Taiwan, although they have been singing cartoon theme songs, but I think they should be competent." ”

"Oh? What is your name? Wang Xiaohu asked.

Luo Dayou said: "Songjiang Children's Choir. ”

"Zichen, did you hear it, hurry up and send someone to dig it up!"
