Chapter 5 Samples

As soon as Zhang Aijia said, the next morning, when Shen Chong saw Lin Qingxia, he felt a little weird, as if Lin Qingxia's every move was meaningful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"It is said that eighty percent of the marriages in this world are made because of the prodding and coaxing of the people around them." On the way to the printing company to watch the sample film of "Love Before Dawn", he joked: "In the future, if I and Lin Qingxia become a pair, you will be a big matchmaker." ”

"Don't be bored, okay?" Zhang Aijia said angrily: "Nine out of ten marriages in this world are monogamy, and there is no one among them, what is eighty percent?" You will never be influenced by the people around you, you will only influence others."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Shen Chong, sighed, and said, "I feel that since the movie started, my mood has always been unstable, I think crankily all day long, suspicious, and irritable. ”

Shen Chong smiled and said: "In the past, I only heard that actors were too deep in the play and were obsessed with the role, so it affected their lives. ”

"I'm not in the play." Zhang Aijia supported the inner edge of the door frame of the sports car with her hand, held her forehead, and said: "I just don't have confidence the more I shoot, when I read the script, I had a lot of ideas, and I thought that I would definitely be able to make a wonderful movie, but when I was shooting, those thoughts were all gone, and it felt like ...... It's like turning a pot of thick soup into a glass of warm water, which is light and tasteless, and even feels that life is very boring. ”

"It's the first time I'm a director, it's inevitable." Shen Chong comforted her with a famous quote from his previous life, and said: "My arsenic, his fairy grass, you think it is tasteless warm boiled water, and others may think it is delicious juice." ”

"I hope so." Zhang Aijia pursed her lips and said, "When you watch the sample later, you can't laugh at me."

"How could I possibly laugh at you?" Shen Chong Zhengse said: "There are few actresses in the world who dare to try to be directors at a young age, and your courage and courage are amazing." ”

Zhang Aijia looked at him sideways, smiled and said, "That's because of you, I dare to do it." ”

Shen Chong smiled and accepted her warmth - in fact, even without him, Zhang Aijia would have been a director in 19ru.

In 1979, the movie "Huan Yan" was born, breaking the box office record of similar films in Taiwan, and made a big splash at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival and the Golden Horse Awards, not only made Hu Huizhong popular, but also doubled the value of director Tu Zhongxun, he signed a contract with Golden Harvest Company for four films in 19ru, but when preparing for the first film "A Day in a Certain Year and a Month", he died in a car accident, and Zhang Aijia, one of the crew members, heard the news and went to Zou Wenhuai to recommend himself, and then became a director and screenwriter.

Hou Hsiao-hsien said at the Academy Awards that he would have to work hard in Taiwan for at least a decade before he could become a director, and in fact, before the New Wave, Hong Kong was no different. Before Li Hanxiang became a director, he acted in dramas, became an actor, wrote scripts, dubbed, engaged in art, mixed editing, when he was p years old, Yonghua Film Company went bankrupt, and the Hong Kong film industry was in chaos......

Film directing is one of the most patriarchal industries in the world, and talented men still have to endure so hard, let alone women? Zhang Aijia is young, she dared to go to Zou Wenhuai to recommend herself and take the position of a well-known director, her courage and courage can be described as extraordinary, and she can say that Zou Wenhuai can be moved and successfully become a director, which shows that her talent and luck are also extraordinary.

It's just that if there is no Shen Chong, Zhang Aijia's directorial debut will end in a fiasco at the box office and word of mouth, and she will be dormant for six years, until she wrote, directed and acted in "The Favorite", her directorial talent was recognized - "The Favorite" collected nearly 9 million box office in Hong Kong alone, and also won the double trophy of the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards. It is unique in the Chinese film industry and has very personal characteristics.

Thousands of purples and thousands of reds are spring, not every audience likes to watch blockbusters, and it is not only blockbusters that are good movies, personality directors are also very important and worthy of support, not to mention their own women, so Shen Chong repeatedly encouraged Zhang Aijia to be a director.

After watching the sample film in the test room of the printing company, Zhang Aijia asked, "What do you think?" ”

"If 100 points are a perfect score." Shen Chong commented with a big sting: "I'll give you sixty points."

Zhang Aijia's disappointment was beyond words.

"Don't be discouraged, sixty is already high." Shen Chong stretched out his right hand, flipped it back and forth, and said: "Now in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are no more than ten directors who can let me rate more than 60 points." ”

"It's only sixty points, if I remove the emotional points, I will definitely fail." Zhang Aijia laughed at herself, and then asked, "What did you do badly?" ”

Although Shen Chong has only been a half-tone director once, he has watched enough movies, and he has been in the film industry since he crossed over, and his hands-on ability is not good, but his appreciation ability is absolutely world-class, he considered his words for a while, and said: "I have always believed that being a director is divided into soft and hard abilities, and what you can learn is hard ability, such as how to operate the camera, how to arrange scene scheduling, these can be learned from textbooks or teachers, and there is also a soft ability, which cannot be learned, you can only rely on personal exploration and understanding, For example, the beauty of the lens, such as the artistic sense of smell, such as the atmosphere adjustment, to put it bluntly, it is to see whether there are many natural artistic cells. ”

When Zhang Aijia heard this, she was thoughtful.

"I just watched the sample film, and I feel that your lens has a strong sense of beauty, beautiful framing, the picture is clean, there is a sunny and wanton taste of spring, and the beautiful atmosphere that the hero and heroine meet in the spring is very good, which can make people pleasing to the eye, relaxed and happy, and have the urge to yearn for it, this is a rare ability, because the plot of this play is very simple, only two people can talk to each other in different scenes, if the atmosphere is not created well, the audience will quickly lose interest in continuing to watch." Shen Chong said eloquently: "I will give you eighty points for your soft ability, but your first time as a director, your professional knowledge and experience are insufficient, and your hard ability is lacking, I can only give forty points, two plus one average, you can only get sixty points."

Zhang Aijia listened to what he said in detail, her mood improved, and she asked again: "I have been filming for ten years, and I have followed many directors, I understand what directors should do. ”

"To train the actor's ability, the picture can rely on the cameraman, but the performance can only rely on the director, you lack this." Shen Chong immediately said: "Leslie Cheung's performance is a little frivolous, Lin Qingxia's performance is too restrained, and it is not natural enough, and there is a feeling of being out of play in several scenes." ”

"I feel that way, too." Zhang Aijia was distressed, supported her chin with her hand, and after thinking for a while, she said: "I work very hard and am very attentive, I spend a lot of time studying the script and performance every day, and I can memorize almost all the lines, but he is too young, he has no professional training, and he has never made movies before. ”

Shen Chong nodded slightly, "Love Before Dawn" was perfunctory based on his own thinking, before he crossed over, although it was not yet thirty, it was not far behind, and he experienced a lot of things, and the script lines he wrote revealed some vicissitudes in his natural freedom, Zhang Aijia keenly grasped this point, so he asked Leslie Cheung to grow a beard, change his appearance, and forcibly raised him from twenty-four to thirty years old.

It's a pity that the age can be adjusted by makeup, but the acting skills can't be improved instantly, Leslie Cheung's acting skills didn't mature until after the 19rr year, before that, whether it was "The True Color of Heroes" or "A Chinese Ghost Story", they were a little too green, both of which were 19ru movies, so in 19ru, he who had only acted in one or two movies was even greener than green apples.

However, Shen Chong is not worried at all that making him popular in advance will bring about the side effects of pulling out the seedlings, because whether it is professionalism or self-discipline, Leslie Cheung is world-class, shortening the time for him to go upstream silently, and shortening him from eight years to three years, which is a blessing for the Chinese music and film worlds.

"Leslie Cheung is very talented, has an excellent appearance, has a good temperament, and works hard, you communicate with him more, I think it will not be a problem to play this role well." After Shen Chong finished speaking, he smiled and continued: "If you can discover his acting skills, when he becomes a world-class movie star in the future, you will also have the capital to brag." ”

"What is there to brag about, if he can become a world-class star, that's his ability, what does it have to do with me?" Zhang Aijia glanced at him and said: "But you're right, I really don't know how to train actors, many times I feel very good, but I can't say it, or after saying it, it doesn't feel right." ”

She half-clasped her hands, made a crazy look, and said: "I really wish that the male and female protagonists were played by me alone"

Shen Chong was amused by her actions, and after a few teases, he asked, "What's wrong with Lin Qingxia?" I watched her in the first few weeks, and her performance was very good, but in the last few days, there has been a problem, she has been acting for seven or eight years, and there should be no such problems. ”

Zhang Aijia said succinctly: "A few days ago, when we were filming, we met Qin Xianglin.

Shen Chong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Such a coincidence?" ”

"I heard that Qin Xianglin came to Los Angeles before the Academy Awards, and your villa has special security, and visitors are not allowed to enter without the owner's consent." Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "If you don't meet outside, how can you see a beautiful woman?" You have to hurry, Qin Xianglin is much more handsome than you. ”

"This kind of thing pays attention to your love and my wishes, I never interfere in other people's emotional affairs, let alone do things that beat mandarin ducks." Shen Chong waved his hand indifferently, stood up, and said, "Let's go, go back, I still have to write songs."
