This was the first meeting between Lin Qingxia and Lin Mu. With feelings for each other, the two began this formal conversation.
"Chairman Lin came to Bend this time, and he should have come with the same purpose as Director Tsui Hark." Lin Qingxia asked directly at the beginning of the meeting.
"What even director Tsui Hark can't do, to be honest, I don't have much confidence myself." Being so directly provoked by Lin Qingxia that her intentions were exposed, Lin Mu had no choice but to smile awkwardly. "I am also a generation that grew up watching your movies, in fact, being able to meet Miss Lin can be regarded as fulfilling a wish I have had since childhood!"
Lin Mu's words are not a deliberate compliment, Lin Qingxia, a special person who has walked from the popularity of the 80s to the 70s, does represent a special fashion history. This powerful actress who came out of Qiong Yao films. uses her decades of acting history to help people remember the era that has gradually faded away and the popularity of the past. It's like her inherent sideways image. It has slowly become a glittering symbol in the brilliance that people can describe.
Lin Qingxia's performance style is natural and simple, restrained and delicate, sharp and sexy in appearance, good at expressing the complexity of the characters' thoughts and the ups and downs of feelings, and has starred in more than 40 films for decades.
is the only female star in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry who can span two different film styles of literature and martial arts.
For such an actress, Lin Mu has always had respect, although Lin Qingxia is 8 years older than herself, but Lin Mu still politely calls her "Miss Lin." This somewhat shortened the distance between the two. And the honest expression on Lin Mu's face didn't seem to be fake. Lin Qingxia also knew a little about Lin Mu before this, she knew that Lin Mu was born in Wanwan, and she should be regarded as half a little Wanwan, and it is not surprising that she has watched the movies she acted in during that period. "Chairman Lin was a fan of mine at that time, but I think the situation is the opposite now, and I have become your fan!"
Lin Qingxia also likes to watch movies when she is an actor, she has watched every movie produced by Lin Mu, I have to say that from "Forrest Gump" to "Saving Private Ryan", from "Sister Raji Park" to "Titanic", whether it is an art film or a commercial film, this series of movies produced by Lin Mu has won him a large number of loyal fans around the world, including Lin Qingxia.
"Actually, I have always had a regret, if I could have been born ten years earlier, maybe I would have been able to catch up with the opportunity to cooperate with Miss Lin, but now such a chance seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer." Lin Mu sighed softly.
"Is Chairman Lin saying I'm old?" Lin Qingxia made a joke with Lin Mu in "play", as a "legend of immortality", she will always be so beautiful and moving in the eyes of many people. When it comes to her age, she is more calm than many actresses.
"I believe that in front of the camera, you should be no different from ten years ago, the years have left a face full of dust on other people's faces, but what you have left on your face is a beauty that is as pure as wine!" has to deal with those female movie stars in Hollywood all day long, and Lin Mu still has a lot of experience in complimenting women.
"No wonder Chairman Lin can win the heart of our first beauty, this mouth of yours is sweeter than honey in front of women!" Lin Qingxia said with a smile, obviously Lin Mu's compliment was still very useful to her.
"Your beauty is still the same, that's a fact for all to see, and I'm just telling you the truth on this issue. But what I see in you is only a good wife and mother, and I can't see the beautiful and stunning Oriental undefeated shadow in Tsui Hark's movies back then! ”
At that time, Lin Qingxia cooperated with Tsui Hark and starred in the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts films "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated". In the film, Lin Qingxia completely broke through her literary and artistic path, played the male role, and created a classic screen image under her exquisite interpretation of both rigidity and softness. Since then, Lin Qingxia has found a new positioning, and has played a series of heroic heroine roles one after another, which are well received by the audience. During this period, she cooperated with Tsui Hark, Yu Rentai, Wong Kar-wai, etc. to shoot many martial arts films such as "New Dragon Gate Inn", "The Resurgence of the Undefeated East", "The White-Haired Witch", "East Evil and West Poison", etc., which have achieved great success in the film industry.
Lin Mu deliberately brought up the past of the year. In fact, it is implying that Lin Qingxia no longer has the ambition she had when she was an actor.
Lin Qingxia's expression darkened, Lin Mu's words did touch her heartstrings, Lin Qingxia has faded out of the film industry for six years, Yiren has been wearing a wedding dress and gone away with the sigh, still remembering the fishing and singing in the dust, the smoke and rain are still training the obituary, and the gongs and drums are like drops. The sword is like the wind, and the six goddesses are old and sharp with the age. But remembering Kamegawa, she quietly has the indelible imprint of youth for a generation.
"After all, I am not the peerless undefeated Oriental in the film, I am a woman, even if I am famous or not, I am successful, I can't escape the final destination of the woman of marriage!" Lin Qingxia sighed faintly, she was once known as the first beauty in Southeast Asia, and her beauty was stunning. With the goddess of fairy weather. She has made more than 100 movies, from a young girl to a heroic woman, all of her images have become classics. She used to be the long-awaited queen of the Golden Horse Awards, and she was loved by thousands of people. But behind her success, there is a bitter love that has been obsessed for more than ten years, vigorous and fruitless.
Maybe I'm tired of this senseless obsession. Lin Qingxia resolutely married a wealthy businessman in Xiangjiang, and then faded out of the film industry, temporarily putting an end to her star career. "Chairman Lin is still young, and your generation's view of love is very different from ours, so I say these things may be difficult for you to understand. Now you don't have to be the protagonist of your life. I feel quite comfortable. To be the protagonist is to be a person who is criticized, to be ahead of others, and there are many things to worry about. ”
was touched by Lin Mu's unintentional words, and Lin Qing unconsciously regarded him as his friend for many years, "During the time I was an actor, I lost myself for ten years. filming, meaningless entertainment, leading people every day, laughing is not what you want to laugh at, and crying is not good. Fear of losing manners. It's been busy for ten years, day by day. There's no time for reflection! ”
"Even now, talking about Lin Qingxia. These three words will also be unnatural to me, and I think it is most comfortable to be an evil wife. I have to take care of everyone at home, the focus is not on myself, but I feel happy! Lin Qingxia explained her current feelings like this.
"Have you ever had a problem getting married?" Thinking of his failed relationship, Lin Mu couldn't help asking.
"In the early days of marriage, it was really difficult to adjust. I have to change my life to adapt to this new environment, and I have to adapt to my husband's face before and after work, and the attitude of my eldest daughter. In the past, when I was making movies, everyone's attention was on me, watching my reaction, and after I got married, I became a supporting role, and I had to see the face of my husband, my daughter, and even the face of the servant. ”
"Then do you feel wronged?" Lin Mu then asked.
"Grievances! But on the other hand, I have gained a lot, and I have gained and lost, and my status is different. Remind yourself and even forget about yourself. Now I can make my family happy, I am happy Happy has always been Lin Qingxia's mantra, and she unconsciously used it when she spoke. Although Lin Qingxia felt very comfortable chatting with Lin Mu, she still did not forget the purpose of Lin Mu's visit this time. Seeing that Lin Mu didn't have the slightest intention of mentioning this matter, it was Lin Qingxia who pulled the topic back.
"Having said so much, we seem to be a little off-topic, Chairman Lin is here this time, won't he just come to chat with me!" Lin Qingxia knew that Tsui Hark must be anxiously waiting for the result at this time.
"Haven't you really thought about coming out again for a change of play?" Lin Mu is making a last-ditch effort.
"I don't understand that director Tsui Hark is now a unique director in the Chinese film industry. And you're the chairman of a famous studio in Hollywood, just for a role. Are you and Director Tsui Hark worthy of such a stirring up to lobby me? Isn't there any other suitable actor for this role besides me? Lin Qingxia asked puzzled.
"In the mind of director Tsui Hark, you are the only and forever, and the same is true in the minds of the audience!" Lin Mu said helplessly.
In 1994, Lin Qingxia resolutely "married a businesswoman" after filming "East Evil and West Poison". "Fade out of the showbiz, leaving everyone with one, the beautiful back of "lonely and defeating". It is said that the audience is forgetful, and the showbiz is cold, but everyone has not forgotten Lin Qingxia. Because since her, there has never been a second beauty in the entertainment industry who can freely walk between the poles of yin and yang, she is the most beautiful woman when she wears women's clothes, and she is the most handsome man when she wears men's clothes.
The audience is still talking about her "unrivaled beauty" and is still happy to reminisce about one of her classics, another classic: the white-haired witch practicing neon clothes, Dongfang Undefeated, Murong Yan and Murong Yan. Although Lin Qingxia has left the film industry, there are still legends of her in the film industry, and Tsui Hark is not the first director who invited her out of the mountain, and will definitely not be the last.
, Director Tsui Hark's decision made me feel very embarrassed! New and old directors are vying to invite, and even Tsui Hark, who has always regarded himself very highly, sincerely hopes to invite her to come back again and again. All of this has been deeply skilled by the "East is undefeated." Easily melt away. Lin Qingxia was like a retired martial arts master, smiled indifferently, continued to teach her husband and children, and no longer asked about the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes.
But Lin Qingxia still underestimated Tsui Hark's determination this time, she thought that if she returned the script, Tsui Hark would retreat. But what she didn't expect was that Tsui Hark was amazed and asked Lin Mu to come forward to lobby him. Lin Qingxia can refuse Tsui Hark. But Lin Mu represents the producer. Behind Tsui Hark is only a Xiangjiang movie, and behind Lin Mu is the entire Hollywood movie. Although Lin Qingxia is well-known in the Chinese-speaking world, she is outside the Chinese-speaking film circle. Her fame obviously can't be compared with international superstars like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, which left her with some regrets.
"Tsui Hark makes me very embarrassed!" Lin Mu reluctantly said that he agreed to come forward to lobby Lin Qingxia. Although I also have the idea of wanting to see my idol in my heart, the main reason is Tsui Hark's persistence. Tsui Hark's persistence he has learned before, in order to shoot this movie well, he spared no cost to set up a gorgeous and huge crew, and now the cost of maintaining the entire crew every day is a lot of money. It is obvious that this will cause a waste of cost, and it is reasonable for Lin Mu to feel that he should talk to Lin Qingxia.
Of course, Lin Mu didn't have much hope for this trip, but no matter how the conversation between the two went, there should always be a result, and if even he couldn't convince Lin Qingxia, then Tsui Hark should really consider looking for a suitable person again. Therefore, the main purpose of Lin Mu's visit this time is to give Tsui Hark an explanation. Of course, if you can say that Lin Qingxia can be moved, it is of course the result that Lin Mu and Tsui Hark are willing to see.
"I heard that this script is Chairman Lin's latest work so far." Tsui Hark tried his best to speak, and Lin Mu came to visit with sincerity, which made Lin Qingxia finally have some interest in this little script. Although she has been out of film for several years, she has always been paying attention to the latest developments in the entertainment industry.
As early as when Lin Mu rose on the other side of the ocean, Lin Qingxia noticed this character. In the past two years, the center of the forest has obviously been biased towards Asia, and several Hollywood blockbusters have been launched in Asia.
Lin Qingxia naturally knows a trend behind these appearances, that is, for a long period of time, Lin Mu, a name that frequently appears in major Chinese media and newspapers, will be closely linked to the development of Chinese films. For such a figure who can call for wind and rain in the future Chinese film industry. The invitation from Lin Mu made Lin Qingxia indeed a little difficult to refuse.
"It should be regarded as the latest work." Lin Mu nodded, and Lin Qingxia began to become interested in this script, making him feel that the hope in his heart that had been shattered had been rekindled.
"I can see that Chairman Lin has high expectations!" With Lin Mu's status today, since he is willing to come forward as a lobbyist in person, it shows the weight of this movie in his heart. Although she had seen this clearly for a long time, Lin Qingxia did not rush to express her attitude, "I actually have a question, does Chairman Lin also think that the role in the script belongs to me like Director Xu!" ”
"You're not the only one for that role". Although he knew that his answer would most likely affect Lin Qingxia's decision, Lin Mu still said what he really thought in his heart.
