Chapter 221: The Whole City Talks
Chapter 221: The whole city is hotly discussed
"Old Monster Xu, it seems that your "Sword and Horse" is going to be dangerous" In the film studio, Huang Baiming looked at the serious Tsui Kehaha and laughed: "Yan Zai is really a bit unstoppable now, plus those entertainment newspapers and magazines are so boastful that the whole of Hong Kong seems to have such a director left."
Tsui Hark smiled a little unconcernedly: "Yan Zai's movies are really good and very thoughtful." We can't fight at the box office, except for the movie itself, the way of propaganda and business has been eliminated by him. Have you noticed that in the past, the publicity of our new art city was always the latest in Hong Kong. But every time Yan Zai makes a big move, he closely attracts the attention of the media. Plus the quality of the movie itself is also very good, and it was immediately sought after"
After hearing this, Huang Baiming sighed and said: "If Yan Zai stayed in Xinyi City, what kind of scene would it be?"
"There's no what if, we just need to make our films. Now that the new art city is like this, don't think too much about it. There is no feast in the world......"
When Tsui Hark said this, Huang Baiming's eyelids jumped obviously.

If at the beginning, the public was curious about what kind of literary films Lu Yan made, then now they have all been conquered by "Rouge Buckle".
The appearance of this movie immediately became one of the most hotly discussed movies in the Hong Kong film industry. Whether it is the actor's angle, or the plot adaptation and shooting techniques, etc.
And many non-film critics watched this "Rouge Buckle", and they all sighed and expressed their opinions
All of a sudden, "Rouge Buckle" suddenly became hot. is so hot, but it is not the heat of the audience's way. Instead, many film critics, writers, and a series of people who have seen the film have started discussions and begun to express their opinions. They were indeed moved by this movie, and only "The True Color of Heroes" had such a situation before
A Few Rouge Tears
The air still seems to smell the residual fragrance, that wisp of scarlet, an old thing. In 53 years, there was dust all over the field, and fireworks were all over the sky, but the rouge alone was stained with ash. Director Lu still uses his delicate techniques to make Hongchen Yayun feel the slightest, and unhurriedly ooze out the sorrow of the times. It is not a heavy rendering, nor is it a casual light brush coloring, but it is a kind of glamorous but not demonic, pure but not dull color exudes a faint taste of the old times, as if the yellowed photo generally evokes people's long-term nostalgia. Then there is the sound of the wind, a sad tune, fresh and smooth, the quaint feeling instantly flows around, and there seems to be a dark fragrance floating, everything has a kind of crumpled and reachable reality, which makes people impregnate with the glitz and chaos of the old Hong Kong.
She sat down in front of the mirror, swiped it lightly a few times, her lips immediately jumped out of her eyes, the bangs on her forehead pierced straight into her eyes, and she was still combing the cloud temples smeared with fish maw. She used to be a famous person in Xitang, how many rich children did not hesitate to scatter their daughters for a kiss Fang Ze, the red card girl who leaned on the red mansion, a veritable Oiran, and her blood flowed with inferiority and pride. What about him, dressed in a long robe, graceful, light as a chrysanthemum, faint and fragrant, elegantly walked upstairs, turned his head and smiled in a light smile has already turned all beings upside down, although he is a generous gentleman, but there is no copper smell and tackyness, but shows an elegant dusty temperament, and his eyes are forever unpredictable. As soon as they opened, they met, and they met in the ten-mile foreign field, which was actually extravagant Vanity Fair, in front of a table of wine diners, the two gazed affectionately, humming such a clear and tactful Cantonese opera tune, which attracted people to forget themselves, looking at the eyebrows, the corners of the mouth, and the fingers conveyed joy again and again, outlining an infinitely elegant Xitang style, a forgetful era of wind and snow. One is the fairy of the garden, the other is the beautiful jade and flawless, maybe they can't have no story, the story is a hurried glimpse in the rolling red dust, it is a short one in thousands of sentient beings, but it is such a warm one. In fact, in comparison, the life of the twelve is more applicable to these two words - unfortunate and controlled, never having a goal of its own. It is much more painful to live without a goal than to have a goal, and it is no wonder that he is cynical and sad about his family history before he has not figured out why he is born. A person's actions have been controlled for a long time, and even his thoughts will be numb, but once there is a chance for emotions to explode, independent disputes are inevitable, and he wants to get rid of them more than flowers. They are opportunities for each other, and in the snap of their fingers, the emotions that two people have accumulated for many years are about to explode, they are all too suppressed, this is not a desperate love, both parties have a purpose in their subconscious, that is, they want to be fulfilled, they also look forward to the first time in their lives, even if they only have one choice to be loyal to their hearts, even if they start from scratch, they must pay the price of pain to dominate themselves. Love mixed with impurities is also love, love is so unforgettable, but in the end it is not higher than life.

When many people lament how sad and sad "Rouge Buckle" is, how embarrassing and lamented, do we look at many of his thoughts through the story that Lu Yan has woven for us?
Starting from "A Chinese Ghost Story", this director Lu Da was officially named the "ghost director". Why is it a 'ghost director'? Because he is always trying to shoot alternative films, shooting films with different themes and methods. And each one of them is very successful.
In fact, what I can't figure out the most is how he can be the most prepared to choose the actors he needs
Aunt Mei's appearance is not stunning, but Aunt Mei's poignant and mournful temperament is enough to make her glamorous. Just like her singing, the flirtatious style contained in it is unmatched by any other singer. It feels like a natural sorrow, as if it was born on its own.
But before "Rouge Buckle", who would say that Anita Mui was an excellent actor? Who would say that a character like Ruhua in "Rouge Buckle" can be explained so perfectly?
Another example is his brother Leslie Cheung, this elegant and dashing twelve young men finally spent the rest of his life in remorse. Actually, I couldn't have imagined him playing these roles before...... At the beginning, Ajie in "The True Color of Heroes", I heard that Leslie Cheung's agent and friends advised him not to take it. But after meeting with Lu Yan, he took it without hesitation.
Perhaps, this is called intuition
Update ω After "The True Color of Heroes", it is followed by "A Chinese Ghost Story" and this "Rouge Buckle". And Leslie Cheung's acting skills are also advancing day by day. If you find out his previous films now and compare them, you will feel that this director Lu must have a little magic that turns stones into gold.
He made Chow Yun-fat popular and gave Dillon a second spring, but in my opinion, it is far inferior to him creating Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui. Because Chow Yun-fat is an actor himself, their skills are not bad. Maybe what is lacking is luck, what is lacking is a good director and a good script...... But Leslie Cheung is different from Anita Mui, these are two popular singers in Hong Kong.
Many film companies choose them more for commercial value. But Lu Yan let them star, obviously it can be boldly affirmed that this is impossible to think that Director Lu's movie still needs the commercial value of actors? What's more, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui are not the heroines, and they only got the opportunity to star in "Rouge Buckle" after passing the screening audition.
What is the reason why two popular singers can suddenly get such a big sublimation in their acting skills? This, it seems that it is time to ask Director Lu
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In Dongcheng Imaging's office, Lu Yan's desk was already full of newspapers and magazines. These reports, which were selected by Yi Shouyi, are basically all related to "Rouge Buckle".
As soon as "Rouge Buckle" came out, Ruhua became an infatuated girl, and the twelve young became thin lovers.
However, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand eyes, and since it is a love story, they naturally have their own opinions. Coupled with Lu Yan's "Rouge Buckle", these contradictions are indeed expanding. Because of this, whether it is Ruhua or Twelve, they are just a drop in the ocean.
When it comes to "love", the twelve young people are not unloved. When he smiled for Bojiaren, he once sent a huge flower card: "If you dream like a phantom moon, if you are a flower"; In order to please the jade people, he even gave him a Western bed-the most generous of benefactors
If you talk about the previous kind, you can also say that he is just nostalgic for the gentle country. Then he ran away from home, openly broke with his parents, lived with Ruhua, and even went to learn drama to survive on his own, which shows his sincerity to Ruhua of course, such a pampered child who has been pampered since childhood. In addition to having a good skin, it is okay to be a ticket friend if you are not diligent, do not divide the grains, and be a vassal elegantly. But if he is really asked to learn drama, he really can't endure this hardship. But the young owner of the three pharmacies in his dignified north and south is now going to be a ninth-rate "drama" in the eyes of the world for love. Doesn't that require courage for him? Isn't that a sacrifice?
Ruhua decided to commit suicide with him, and when the opium was brought to his lips, he hesitated, he was afraid, but didn't he swallow it in the end? Later, although he was rescued, when Ruhua suffered in the underworld, was he enjoying happiness in the yang world? -- Take a good look at what he looks like fifty-three years later, in his later years, he was lonely, poor, depraved and decadent, and life was worse than death, who made him like this? But he never blamed Ruhua, many years later, people and ghosts reunited, but he chased Ruhua's back, hoarsely shouted: "Ruhua, Ruhua, forgive me ............ For Ruhua, the twelve young can be regarded as infatuated. What he had done was far beyond what he could bear, but Ruhua didn't think it was enough. She blamed him for why he didn't seek death and martyrdom again after being rescued, but in the end, he was just an ordinary man after all, how could he bear such a fiery affection as Ruhua? Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die only once, not to mention that he has already died once, so he survived. - In fact, it's just a thought difference, Yuan Yongding and Achu in the movie lamented that they are by no means as infatuated as a flower, but how many of the Hongchen men and women off the screen can do better than Twelve? -- Perhaps, it is far inferior to him, Ruhua is willing to be Zhu Yingtai, but who has asked Twelve Shao, is he willing to be Liang Shanbo? So not everyone can do Liang Zhu. Love is far less beautiful than we imagined. The tragedy of Ruhua is that she may have picked the right role, but unfortunately she picked the wrong opponent.
Lu Yan, who put down this newspaper, suddenly began to sing: "You look at the slanting sun and live together with Feiyan......"
"Boss, I think you're more like the twelve-year-old." Yi Shouyi, who was sorting out the information for Lu Yan on the side, heard Lu Yan singing "Autumn Hate on the Journey", and immediately smiled.
Lu Yan glared at Yi Shouyi, glanced at his mouth and said, "I'm not twelve, and Xiaoxian is not like a flower, how is the theater box office in the past few days?" ”
"It's already 10 million" Hearing Lu Yan ask, Yi Shouyi suddenly became a little excited: "Boss, you are really amazing." In the past few days since the release of the literary film, the box office has reached 10 million."
"What are you excited about, can't literary films have a good box office? What is the box office of "Knife and Horse"? ”
"Fifteen million. We caught up with the box office of "Sword and Horse", and it was a matter of minutes......"
Hearing Yi Shouyi's confident words, Lu Yan smiled and said: "In the final box office, who can say accurately, but in this way, Director Tsui Hark's chrysanthemum, I am determine." The box office response of "Sword and Horse" is now much colder......"
"Pop the chrysanthemum?" Yi Shouyi looked at Lu Yan a little inexplicably.
"Ahem...... is to knock down "Dao Ma Dan" at the box office" Lu Yan coughed, and then asked: "Has Wong Kar-wai been here?" ”
"Nope."
As soon as Yi Shouyi's words fell, Wong Kar-wai pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Aren't I here?"
"Look at your smug look, what good things have happened?" Lu Yan rarely saw Wong Kar-wai smiling so highly, it was really the first time.
"The material is almost taken, by the way, when are we leaving?"
Wong Kar-wai dealt with some old boys, and Lu Yan still knew about the material. He nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go now, go early and come back early."
Lu Yan got up, and Wong Kar-wai hurriedly followed and asked, "You won't disagree, will you?" ”
"Don't worry, let's go over to the two big directors, we have to give some face" Lu Yan patted Wong Kar-wai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You even dare to deal with the old boys, and you're afraid that they will go, so I won't take you if you're not sure." ”
