PS: Thank you to the genius Ma Ji for voting 1 pink vote, thank Zhao Shangjun for giving a gift of 200 starting coins, thank Su Suer for giving a gift of 100 starting coins

In fact, this movie is the last part of Xu Anhua's "Vietnam Trilogy" after "The Visitor" and "The Story of Hu Yue". The producer is Xia Meng, and the name of this movie is still taken by Mr. Jin Yong. ”

Chen Jiayao was taken aback, Xu Anhua is now a big director because of the success of "Crazy Robbery". Now there are more Xia Meng and Jin Yong, which has made Chen Jiayao unable to calm down.

Xia Meng, Mr. Jin Yong's dream lover, it is rumored that she is the prototype of countless heroines in Jin Yong's novels, Wang Yuyan's elegance, Huang Rong's wisdom, Zhou Zhiruo's life experience and character, as well as the screen image of Xiaolongnu and Xia Meng, undoubtedly coincide with her.

Xia Meng herself was the chief actress of the Xiangjiang Great Wall Film Production Company in the 50s and 60s, recognized as a Xi Shi actor in Xiangjiang, and also a representative of Xiangjiang left-wing films.

disappeared in the 60s, and now comes back in the 80s, but he is no longer an actor, but a producer.

self-formed Blue Bird Film Company, this "Running to the Angry Sea" is their first work.

Defecting to the complexity behind the angry sea, it is no wonder that Fu Su would be so cautious.

"How did she find me? What exactly is a role? Chen Jiayao asked.

Fu Su sighed: "The heroine's wife's youth, a prostitute and a woman, I'm afraid there are only a few shots." If you say yes, you'll be able to do it. ”

"As for why I found you, who knows?"

Chen Jiayao asked, "Is there a script?" ”

"You may not have a single line, and you will have a lot of body movements. ”

Chen Jiayao thought for a moment. sighed: "Push it!" ”

Although she wants to maintain a good relationship with Xu Anhua and Xia Meng, there are still body movements that she doesn't know about in the cameo. What good actions can a prostitute or woman make? Even if they don't shoot explicitly, in the end, they subvert Chen Jiayao's image.

I don't know what Xia Meng thinks. I even handed over an invitation.

Fu Su thought about it for a long time since he received the call, and he also felt that it was not a good thing to answer.

However, the relationship behind this is not simple, so Fu Su is still ready to talk to Chen Jiayao.

"I don't need to say anything about the schedule, it's just a cameo, and it's probably less than a day, so it's too fake to shirk it."

"What do you say?"

Chen Jiayao said: "Just say it's not suitable. ”

Fu Su glanced at Chen Jiayao deeply, she knew what the result of her passing on these words would be.

Chen Jiayao said: "It's not that you can't shoot such a role, but it's not suitable now." ”

Fu Su nodded: "I will say." ”

Cheng Xiaodong, who was driving, suddenly laughed and said: "If you let the audience know this year that Xiaolongnu turned around and filmed prostitutes and women, it would definitely be a lot of fun." ”

These words immediately broke the sluggish atmosphere in the car. Chen Jiayao and Fu Su laughed.

The journey was very smooth, and Chen Jiayao rushed to the set.

There are only four scenes today, one with Huang Rong and three with Yang Guo.

After being tortured by the martial arts designed by Cheng Xiaodong, Andy Lau and Chen Jiayao completely got along, and the filming became more and more smooth.

The four scenes, except for Andy Lau's laughter once, almost all of them were passed over again.

Thinking that there was no itinerary today, Chen Jiayao stayed aside to watch the director shoot.

But she had been watching it for less than half an hour. I saw Fu Su coming up in a hurry.

"A-Yao."

Chen Jiayao rushed over: "Why are you in such a hurry, what's wrong?" ”

Fu Su was already sweating on his forehead, very uncomfortable, but he was not feeling well. But the heart is even more uncomfortable.

"Just now I called you to refuse to make a cameo appearance in "Running to the Angry Sea", who knew that I hadn't spoken yet, Xia Meng said please go to the audition. Let's see if I can perform the heroine in her thirties and forties. ”

Chen Jiayao's expression was solemn, since he had reached this juncture. Naturally, she wanted to give some face, just an audition.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Xia Meng and Xu Anhua got the script. talked about the cameo, and then screenwriter Qiu Gangjian felt that it was better to play the role of 'Mrs.' alone. ”

Chen Jiayao thought for a while: "It's okay, I'll try it." ”

Fu Su knew that this was the case: "A-Yao? ”

"I can talk to them when I want to go, and I'm not sure about it."

"Okay, I'll call right away."

Chen Jiayao nodded.

Soon, Fu Su came back: "It just so happened that Xia Meng and the three of them were drinking tea in Jinyuan Teahouse, and Ah Yao went over to take a look?" ”

Chen Jiayao agreed, said hello to the producer and director, and immediately called Xiao Liu to drive the car in.

Jinyuan Tea House is not far away, and if you drive, it will only take you ten minutes.

The tea house is quaint and very elegant and quaint place.

"Let's look for Miss Xia Meng." Even if Xia Meng is married, as the most beautiful actor in Xiangjiang, everyone likes to call her Miss Xia Meng.

"Miss Xia has already greeted her, and she is on the third floor."

Chen Jiayao and Fu Su hurriedly rushed upstairs.

The waiter pushed open the door, and Chen Jiayao looked at the four people in the room, a little stunned.

Two men and two women, although Xia Meng is older, he sits there freely and elegantly enters his bones, while Xu Anhua next to him gives people a quiet and gentle feeling.

Two men, one of whom was very elegant, sat on the side in a suit and talked to Zhou Yanfa.

Yes, the other man is Zhou Runfa.

Chen Jiayao walked in, and the four of them all looked up at each other. Chen Jiayao walked over unhurriedly: "Miss Xia, Miss Xu, Mr. Qiu, Brother Fa." ”

Xia Meng smiled slightly: "Miss Chen, come and sit." ”

Chen Jiayao nodded slightly, and did not have any stage fright to achieve the position designated by Xia Meng.

"I called Miss Chen over today, I also want to have a good chat with Miss Chen, before that, I don't know if Miss Chen is interested in taking a look at a story."

Sure enough, talking to Xia Meng is always so friendly.

Chen Jiayao nodded.

Qiu Gangjian handed over his hard work in the past two months, and he said gently: "This script has written 70,000 words, which is very thick, Miss Chen read it slowly." Although I, a person who had never experienced political turmoil, wrote it in my study, I listened to Mozart's "Requiem" hundreds of times because of this script. The script is described and framed from the perspective of human nature by completely naΓ―ve people. I read it to Xu Anhua before, but I didn't give any opinions, and said that this was the best script she had ever seen. Miss Chen is also a literati, and she has also written scripts like "Myth", and professionals will look at it to see if they can give me some more ideas. ”

Speaking of Qiu Gangjian, Chen Jiayao is still very respectful, a famous screenwriter in Xiangjiang, who has won many best screenplay awards, and his masterpieces "Fire Youth", "Ruan Lingyu" and "Rouge Buckle".

Chen Jiayao opened the script with great respect.

The three of them continued to drink Zhou Runfa and speak, it turned out that they called Zhou Runfa for the male protagonist in the middle.

I have to say that from the producer, director to screenwriter, Zhou Runfa, who is already known as box office poison, is the protagonist. The reason for this is probably that their movies are not for the purpose of making money, emphasizing the excellence and artistry of the film, you must know that Zhou Yunfa's acting skills are definitely the most profound.

Chen Jiayao was immersed in the script, and she now finally understood why Qiu Gangjian had to listen to "Requiem" hundreds of times, this script is too heavy, and it also reveals human nature, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, the people in this story are struggling.

The story of this script is based on the Japanese leftist journalist Akutagawa Shiomi who went to Da Nang, Vietnam after the reunification of Vietnam by the Viet Cong. The itinerary will be arranged by the Vietnamese government, so that Akutagawa can see the happy life of the Vietnamese people. However, as Akutagawa discovered the disharmony in the scene of "happy life" and got to know the local Nguyen Qin Nhuan and her family, he gradually saw the real miserable life of ordinary Vietnamese after the communist revolution, as well as the different faces of revolutionary cadres. In the end, Akutagawa could not bear to see Nguyen Qinniang being sent to the collective farm, and arranged for her to leave on a refugee boat. In the end, Nguyen Qinniang watched Akutagawa be burned to death and left Vietnam by boat with her brother.

Akutagawa and Nguyen Qin Niang are the first pair of male and female protagonists in this play.

And the second pair is the wife that Chen Jiayao wants to play and the ancestral name that Zhou Yanfa wants to play.

Director Ruan invited Akutagawa to a bar owned by a Chinese woman, where there was a private collection of pure French liquor.

The owner of the bar was Madame, they didn't know her name, everyone called her Madame, and although she looked young, she actually had the experience of being forty years old. Madame's mother was a Vietnamese courtesan, who had lived with a Japanese Osa during the Japanese occupation of Vietnam, and later became the mistress of a French general.

At the age of forty, she is still charming, and the years seem to have left no trace on this woman, and if she has only learned authentic French, Japanese and American cuisine.

Immediately after the plot conflict, the lady replied that her virginity was given to the Chinese, making such a character seem extremely profound.

Then her hidden boyfriend, Zu Ming, appears and snatches Akutagawa's camera, wants money, and wants to escape from this dark place.

It's a pity that at such a dark moment, it can't succeed at all, maybe because Akutagawa found something, Akutagawa also locked up Akutagawa because of the theft of his ancestral name.

After all, after the Vietnamese government showed its ugly face, Akutagawa was released ignorantly, after learning about Zu Ming and his wife, knowing that they wanted to escape from this place, Akutagawa and Zu Ming became good friends, and got a concession to send him, he sent Zu Ming to the new economic zone, which was a good intention to help him successfully get out of this miserable environment, but he didn't expect that the so-called beautiful new economic zone he had filmed before was a hell, where every day people were killed innocently by explosions. In the end, Akutagawa decided to do his best to get Qin Niang, his wife, and his ancestral name to escape from Vietnam, board a refugee ship, and go to the Nuhai Sea.

After Chen Jiayao read it, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time, such a heavy story, she thought, she also needs to go back and listen to "Requiem", the hypocrisy and darkness of the Viet Cong, the difficulties and struggles of the people, Chen Jiayao sighs for them when she thinks about it now.

"What does Miss Chen think?" (To be continued......)
