Chapter 205 Business Combines Literature and Art

"Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian are dating, and Kowloon Cinema watches "Dao Ma Dan". 【】》

The news about Lu Yan was naturally revealed quickly. Especially Lu Yan dated Wang Zuxian for the first time after filming "Rouge Buckle". A very high-profile appearance in the cinema caused a commotion, and the movie he chose to watch was "Sword and Horse" directed by Tsui Hark.

However, such news only appeared under the headlines of some entertainment gossip editions, and more about the moral of the movie "Sword and Horse" and the statements in the film reviews.

There is also speculation about "Rouge Buckle", and whether this Lu's movie can surpass the female character movie "Dao Ma Dan". The two films have always been compared by media people, and now the box office fire of the premiere of "Dao Ma Dan" has naturally caused a controversial topic.

"Dao Ma Dan", saying that the word itself lacks a serious component. It's a very different style, it's playful, it's exaggerated, and when you're laughing, it's easy to say what it wants to say.

You can spit on the boring new historical dramas that are currently flooding the screen, you can vomit at the imbecile directors who lead a bunch of red men and green women to be complacent and creamy, or you can cling to a history book and scold how it destroys the essence of 5,000 years of culture, how it burns the piano and boils the crane. None of this matters, because the real joke is a kind of laughing attitude towards life, a kind of mockery of the cruel reality, and a kind of venting of dissatisfaction with life in a relaxed way.

Rigor is a style, banter is also a style, and it is just a good companion who has the same end. For a long time, I didn't understand why this story was set on a Chunhe opera troupe, in which all kinds of characters shuttled between them, and you sang and I appeared on the stage.

In fact, Chunheban is just a name, but the real stage is this fickle world, which is not only about a well-known history, but also about life.

The atmospheric Qingxia, the plump Zhong Chuhong, the cold and glamorous Ye Qianwen, the three beauties with their own styles are the protagonists of this movie, no longer vases, no longer foils for heroes, no longer crying helpless little women, no longer princesses waiting for the prince to come to rescue, they have their own independent personalities, their own ideals, and boldly pursue their dreams. Even if they are of different social classes and have different cultural backgrounds, it is impossible to deny what they have in common. I think this is also the attraction of "Sword and Horse" to many female audiences.

Director Tsui Hark not only makes this film a wonderful action interpretation, but also gives the film an old sense of home and country. Through the vision of three women with completely different identities, classes, and cultural backgrounds, he reflects the center of gravity of the concept of Great China, and writes scenes of pathetic historical tragedy with literary and artistic feelings. Coincidentally, the literary blockbuster "Mei Lanfang", which is being released this year to fight with Tsui Hark, is also a literary epic film with the theme of Peking Opera. And when this "Sword and Horse" was launched, the wonderful Peking Opera performance in the film was also a good show. The film features three patriotic women as the protagonists, which has the meaning of singing in the ring with the pure male individualism in "The True Color of Heroes" directed by Lu Yan last year......

Looking at it now, "Dao Ma Dan" has proven its artistic value and reputation. So what about Lu Yan's "Rouge Buckle"? We originally thought that these two movies intentionally formed a confrontation between them, and it seems that Director Lu also has this intention. But now that "Sword and Horse" has been released in advance, I wonder if the post-production of "Rouge Buckle" will still be accelerated?

At the finale reception of "Rouge Buckle", Director Lu said that he would try his best to catch up with "Sword and Horse". So, let's wait and see if Director Lu's literary films can compete with Director Tsui Hark?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

The so-called three women in one play, Lu Yan took Wang Zuxian to watch "Dao Ma Dan" and was also very emotional. Especially Wang Zuxian, although she has now become popular because of "A Chinese Ghost Story". But when it comes to acting, she is indeed too rough.

As one of the heroines of "Sword and Horse", Zhong Chuhong's current status in the Hong Kong film industry is beyond doubt. The chief actress of the eighties, that's no joke. Not only because every movie she made was very good at the box office, but also because her acting skills were the most outstanding among many actresses in this period.

Zhong Chuhong's Xianghong in it was supposed to be just a vase-like role, but her comedy performance made this role much more vivid, which may be because Tsui Hark didn't want Xianghong to become a vase. She herself is a chain that connects the righteous and the common people, not as awe-inspiring as Cao Yun, nor as simple as Bai Niu, she is greedy for money and ignorant, and she hits nails everywhere. However, it is because of her that the story can continue, in fact, she is the link of the story. Because of her mistake, the story was brought out. And Zhong Chuhong really lived up to expectations, in which she abandoned her superficial appearance and stepped into a comedy role, and it was quite enjoyable. She turned her head and shook her bun, and her two eyes fainted as soon as she stared, and she played a trick in order to seduce the governor, and when she failed, she pouted and hugged the pot of grapes...... Tsui Hark gave Xianghong a lot of performance space, and most of the laughter in the film started from her.

And what Lin Qingxia impressed Lu Yan the most in "Rouge Buckle" was nothing else. It's her sassy men's clothing image, and it is estimated that a director like Xu Laowei can come up with a big beauty like Lin Qingxia to appear in men's clothing. As soon as he saw Lin Qingxia on the screen, Lu Yan's first reaction was that it was shocking when Dongfang was undefeated.

As for the simple cuteness of the white girl played by Ye Qianwen in "Dao Ma Dan", it is fully expressed in this paragraph. This kind of impure Cantonese that is simply borrowed from Ye Qianwen has been interpreted in its true colors, and her dialogue is also an indispensable comedy element in the film. I saw her Peking Opera posture in it, and many difficult movements were also performed by her. Although Ye Qianwen had just debuted at this time, her dedication and bold style could already be seen. Looking at the current actors, it is indeed rare to see such a style.

This film is indeed a win-win work for Tsui Hark to achieve a win-win situation between business and art, portraying the heroic sons and daughters of the time from the background of national crisis. But instead of turning the film into a boring didactic film, he handled it quite interestingly, and combined it with traditional Peking Opera. There is no cold position in the whole film

Preferably ω

And Lu Yan's "Rouge Buckle" is obviously his own combination of business and art. In the end, "Rouge Buckle" can surpass the box office of "Dao Ma Dan", and he doesn't have much bottom in his heart. After all, both "Sword and Horse" and "Rouge Buckle" are very good, and the themes are similar. The only thing Lu Yan can do now is to try to grasp the quality of post-production.

I heard that the editing work has been almost completed, and in general, Miss Li Bihua is still very satisfied with the effect of "Rouge Buckle" after filming.

And Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, although they have pulled off a lot of work because of the filming of "Rouge Buckle", now the filming of "Rouge Buckle" is naturally a lot of notices. I'm busy making new albums again, and I'm rushing to get on all kinds of shows. But even so, when they received "Rouge Buckle" and wanted them to dub it in the original voice, they still picked different time periods and rushed over to complete "Rouge Buckle" as soon as possible.

Regarding the music production of "Rouge Buckle", Lu Yan did not trouble Old Man Huang Zhan this time. Because Li Xiaotian came to the door in person a few days ago, he hoped to cooperate with Lu Yan to participate in the music production of "Rouge Buckle".

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

In the recording room of Huaxing Records, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui are auditioning separately. In fact, both of them are recording new albums at the same time, but when I heard that Lu Yan and Li Xiaotian collaborated on a song of the same name for the movie "Rouge Buckle", the two of them came to audition, then they were a little impatient.

Needless to say, Li Xiaotian's status in the music industry is no longer much, and Lu Yan's songs for his movies are popular all over Hong Kong.

Before this, both "Love of the Year" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" were sung by Leslie Cheung. This time, the recording of "Rouge Buckle" naturally simply asked the two protagonists to come over and try the sound.

"Yan Zai, who will you choose to insert into the movie in the end?" Li Xiaotian looked at the calm young man in front of him and asked with a smile.

For Lu Yan's talent in music, he does not deny it at all. Especially after the words of "Rouge Buckle" came out, my eyes suddenly lit up.

Coupled with the music and matching he carefully composed for this song, the sadness and sadness of this song are immediately incomprehensible.

"I don't know...... Uncle Li, you are a professional in this regard" Lu Yan smiled, and then said: "Listen to it, brother and Sister Mei's singing, I don't dare to deny it, just see when you add it, what kind of sound is more suitable."

In the recording room, several staff members looked curiously at Lu Yan, who was chatting and laughing with Li Xiaotian, Leslie Cheung, they were all common, and they even often greeted each other and had a supper together. However, this mysterious director Lu Da came to the recording studio of Huaxing Records for the first time.

Because of this, everyone looked at him curiously.

The first to start the audition was Anita Mui, followed by Leslie Cheung.

The voices of the two are good, and the feeling they present is naturally different. But it's all so good, it's quite difficult to choose.

However, professionals like Li Xiaotian still sound dissatisfied with some flaws, so Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui tried repeatedly. In the end, it felt perfect, and the two of them rested.

"It seems that both of them sing very well" Lu Yan took off his headphones, and immediately looked at Li Xiaotian with a wry smile and said, "Uncle Li, I'd better listen to your opinion first."

"I have watched the ** of "Rouge Buckle", since it is mainly a female character. Then let's choose Amei's singing and insert it, one is 'Negative love is your name', and the other is 'Negative love is my name'...... It feels like Amei's is more suitable. After Li Xiaotian finished speaking, he added: "Of course, Shizai and Amei are going to release new albums." simply let both of them include this "Rouge Buckle" ......"

Since it is mainly a female character, it is understandable to use "Rouge Buckle" sung by Anita Mui. And let her sing, which can better reflect a woman's sad feelings. After thinking about it, Lu Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you are not kind."

"It's not that I'm not kind, who made you refuse to write a few more songs." Li Xiaotian communicated with Lu Yan several times, but Lu Yan refused politely after all. Now that it's rare that another good song has come out, Li Xiaotian is of course making full use of it.

And Lu Yan doesn't care, since the two kings and queens are willing to sing it, he can't be more than happy.

It is precisely because of Lu Yan's "Rouge Buckle" that the suspicion of the outside world suddenly became an affirmation. This director of Lu Da only creates for his own films. And it must be a movie and a song, definitely not much.

is exactly the same, so every time Lu Yan comes out with a song, it will become what the current singers want to get and sing. It's just that Lu Yan has admitted several times that he is a fan of Leslie Cheung. Then, it is natural that most of his songs have made Leslie Cheung.

"Yan Zai, when will "Rouge Buckle" be released?" Although Lu Yan finally chose Anita Mui to sing, Leslie Cheung didn't care at all. He and Ah Mei were originally good friends, and it is true that each other's singing voices are more suitable for this movie. On the contrary, he seems to be more concerned about the release time of "Rouge Buckle".

"When Uncle Li does all the other dubbing, it's almost over." As he spoke, Lu Yan suddenly glanced at Leslie Cheung and said, "What, are you thinking about getting an actor?" ”

"What nonsense, I'm just wondering what the hell this movie is going to be." After speaking, Leslie Cheung suddenly laughed and scolded: "The outside world says that you make literary films to win awards, how can you talk about me?"

"You listen to their nonsense."

"I don't care if it's nonsense, anyway, I'll wait for you to arrange the premiere."

"Oh, you and Sister Mei are going to sing when the time comes, oh yes, when will the new album come out, I'm still waiting to buy it."
