Chapter 459: Interview with Wang Jiawei, let's talk about it after the script is written

Many Chinese film fans know one thing, that is, there is a big Hong Kong director who is very speechless, because legend has it that he never uses a script for filming, and often shoots wherever he wants.

Speaking of scripts, scripts, the script of a play, even many people outside the circle know that the script is very important, this big director himself has written many movie scripts before becoming a director, why did it turn him to shoot but didn't use the script?

To be honest, his film style really doesn't have a lot of audiences, although he himself won the award and got a soft hand, after acting in his movie, the actor's own acting skills have also improved, and he is likely to win the award, but really speaking, making his movies is a kind of torture, which many filmmakers say.

It stands to reason that this kind of person who makes movies and drags on one word must be very bad at words, otherwise, watching his movies will not become a kind of torture.

However, in the café of a hotel in Shanghai, Brother Chic really saw this big director with a shallow flat head, wearing big sunglasses, nicknamed "King of Sunglasses", and after talking with him for a few words, he quickly changed his impression of this big director with mixed reputations.

"Director Wang, I have always thought that you should be a taciturn person!"

Brother Xiao smiled and stirred the coffee, but he didn't drink it immediately, because to tell the truth, he really didn't like coffee very much, and he always felt a strange taste when he drank it.

"Indeed!"

Wang Jiawei laughed and bowed slightly: "You are not the first to say this, because everyone who sees me for the first time, they say that I should not be good at words." It's like a weirdo with autism. ”

"Huh. I didn't say that about you! ”

The dashing brother shook his head again and again. Then he explained: "Mainly because your film language is too esoteric! Anyway, I'll tell you the truth, except for "Mong Kok Carmen", I have hardly read your other works! ”

"Haha......"

Wang Jiawei suddenly laughed loudly, laughing very happily, as if he had encountered something that made people laugh.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the hotel café during this time period, otherwise, someone must have scolded: Are you insane? Laugh at the yarn!

Now no one is scolding. But the embarrassed chic brother scolded in his heart and laughed at a fart! Brother is just telling the truth, it's already very good without scolding you for what kind of garbage you filmed, and you can still laugh now?

I don't know if Lu Dao really has such a thing as electrocardiogram, anyway, when Brother Xiao scolded very unpleasantly, the king of sunglasses slowly stopped Da Lu's laughter, and he wiped his flat head upside down as if no one was around, then raised his eyes, and said very affirmatively: "You are very good, really." Because you are not hypocritical! ”

I'm going, aren't I?

Brother dashing suddenly opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something. But Wang Jiawei sighed and said: "This circle is very hypocritical, other artists always say how much they like my movies when they see me, how good and wonderful the works of "East Evil and West Poison" and "The True Story of A Fei" are, but in fact, I know very well that they either didn't watch it, or they scolded them after watching it. ”

, you know that Lu Dao is going to be scolded, so what are you going to shoot? Can't you shoot it well? Isn't this a waste of money and energy, and at the same time asking for hardship?

Brother Chic couldn't figure it out in his heart, and almost wanted to ask the question in his heart directly, after all, he had suffered from the poison of "East Evil and West Poison" back then, so he really scolded while watching! I didn't understand what the story was filming, it was just a piece of.

"I know that you must want to say that why you want to shoot for Lu is so unfathomable, right?"

Wong Kar-wai didn't wait for someone to answer, he gave his own explanation: "Movies are actually my thoughts on life and society, because I think that every character in a movie has his own past, so my films never float on the surface, and often every shot has a potential meaning." ”

He paused, and regardless of whether someone understood it or not, he continued: "I believe that many people are tired of watching simple fighting, killing or love, and I don't want to follow the trend to shoot works that don't have much connotation, so I always have one thing that I won't forget when filming, that is, there must be style and connotation, and I think about my life as a director." ”

I went, and my brother really wanted to shake his head and say bluntly: I'm sorry, I didn't understand!

Brother Xiaoxiao's brain was a little dizzy, because after listening to Wang Jiawei's own explanation, he had only one thought in his heart: Don't you know that a good movie can't be mixed with too many private goods? Don't you know that there are 10,000 kinds of "Hamlet" in the eyes of 10,000 people?

it! You are just a storyteller as a director, what the story is, you shoot it, as for how much the audience has to think and gain from watching it, it depends on the audience's own starting point, do you force your own feelings in the movie?

Yes, that's right, although someone really hasn't gone to film school, hasn't even been a trick, and doesn't have much professional knowledge and cultivation in film and television art, but he at least knows a little bit that the real hit movies are the directors who use the lens language to tell the story, so that they are impartial, so that the audience can watch it well, and there are some other gains.

However, is it cool to watch Wang Jiawei's movie? Not at all!

Because the movies made by this guy, in the minds of ordinary audiences, have always had a very bad impression, that is, pretending to be unfathomable.

In other words, he gathered a large number of big-name stars, but he couldn't even remember the plot and lines of the things he filmed. The audience only knows that there are a group of big names who are saying some lines that they think are unfathomable from beginning to end, and they are very depressed or very sad, and even more so, everyone's lines are not even related, which makes people want to vomit blood, this is Wang Jiawei's movie.

Thinking of these things, Brother Xiao nodded a little speechlessly and said, "Director Wang, your explanation finally made me affirm one thing, that is, you don't take the usual path!" ”

"That's a great adjective!"

Wang Jiawei applauded. "I really don't go off the beaten path. There are many big directors of commercial films in the Chinese film industry. Wang Jing, Du Qifeng, Liu Weiqiang...... All of them are very powerful, and there are too many, not bad for me, but there is only one Wang Jiawei in literary films, hehe, chic boy, do you think if you cooperate with me, are you willing? ”

What the? Working with you?

Hearing Wang Jiawei so bluntly send out an invitation in person. Brother Chic was really a little frightened.

Yes, not agitated and excited, but feeling scared and nervous.

Because of the style of the king of sunglasses, which person in the Chinese entertainment industry doesn't know what to do?

The most frightening thing is that he is too procrastinating to make movies, and people in the rivers and lakes say: Wang Zen Master, which means that his patience is more profound than that of the Buddhist master.

A "2046" has been filmed for more than 5 years, which is already a Chinese film that has taken time to investigate, and the result. It has always been rumored on the rivers and lakes that he is going to shoot a movie that truly reflects the martial artists of the Republic of China in the era of Bruce Lee's master Ip Man. But this topic came out a few years ago, and even now, he still hasn't done it.

Even Liu Dehua once made it clear that he wanted to cooperate with Wang Jiawei, but he didn't dare to accept Wang Jiawei's work because he couldn't afford it.

Let's ask, for such a procrastinating master director, in addition to his queen actor Liang Chaowei, how many first-line actors dare to take over the filming casually? Aren't you afraid of being pitted to death?

What's more, someone has never been interested in literary and artistic movies, even if it is the so-called famous literary films at home and abroad with the sign of "must-see", he has no interest in the slightest, he loves to watch popcorn movies that fight and kill, and he likes the type of flying car + explosion + special effects + fighting.

Therefore, in this case, he really didn't feel honored at all, especially when Wang Jiawei's movies have always been under the banner of the gathering of stars, but in the end, it became the fact that everyone played soy sauce together, and only Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung were brilliant.

Think about Liu Dehua in "The True Story of A Fei", filming is so serious and tired, how many shots are given to him in the end? paid so much, but it was edited into a pure soy sauce party, how hard is it?

Having said so much, in fact, Brother Chic just wanted to say a word: Director Wang, Xie Lu, thank you for your attention, but my patience is extremely insufficient, and I really don't like the so-called literary films, I don't want to watch them, let alone act.

Yes, he really wants to say this, it doesn't matter if he gives face or not, after all, he hasn't rejected Wang Jiawei over the years, for example, Zhang Manyu has publicly said after filming "2046" that she really can't stand Lao Wang's drag, and she can't cooperate in the future, and Zhang Xueyou, the "God of Song", after filming "The True Story of A Fei", he couldn't stand Lao Wang's style, and then finally finished filming "East Evil and West Poison", and finally parted ways.

However, although he brought sunglasses, Wang Jiawei's eyes were not bad, he seemed to see someone's thoughts, and added in advance: "Hehe, you don't have to be in a hurry to express your position, because now I haven't prepared the script myself, and I am still in the national investigation, this time I want to shoot the story of the martial arts masters of the Republic of China, such as Ip Man, Li Shuwen, Sun Lutang, Li Jinglin, etc., this is a plan I had 10 years ago, and this time I will definitely make a different kung fu movie!" ”

I'm gone, you don't have a script, so why are you coming to me?

Brother Chic almost laughed angrily, but when he heard that it was a kung fu movie, he suddenly asked a little curiously: "Then may I ask Director Wang, when are you going to start filming this drama?" If I did, how many scenes would I have? ”

As a result, Wang Jiawei confessed: "I really can't say this in advance, because I am mainly still in the conception." ”

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be very unhappy to see someone, so he added: "But I can guarantee that as long as you agree to appear at that time, your role will be at least 10 minutes long, which is already the treatment of the first supporting actor." ”

Although he is slightly satisfied with the guarantee of the first supporting actor, Brother Chic is not easy to deceive, after all, Liu Dehua can change from the actor of "The True Story of A Fei" to a small supporting role in soy sauce, where does he dare to give a guarantee casually?

Therefore, in the face of Wang Jiawei's gaze, he was still unmoved and said: "Director Wang, I think I still have to read the script first, and if it is delayed for too long, I can't help it!" ”

Wang Jiawei was obviously a little disappointed, smiled for a while, nodded and said, "That's for sure!" (To be continued......)
