Chapter 402, mother and daughter together

[Yangcheng Evening News]: Xiangjiang movies must be inherited and self-helped.

[Chongqing Business Daily]: Hong Kong films are still alive, but they are a little out of breath.

[Peninsula Metropolis Daily]: This year's Academy Awards has nothing to do with quality.

……

[Liu Qingyun]: Winning the award is very dramatic.

[Weekly]: I'm as happy as I am to win Best Supporting Actress.

[Wang Jin]: Liu Qingyun is not unpopular as the actor, and Gong Li's actress deserves his name.

……

The Academy Awards have been held since 1982, and this year is the 26th edition, which can be regarded as three decades.

In the first decade, 82~90 years, the 10 years from the beginning to the apex of Hong Kong films, with 86 and 87 years being the most dynamic;

In the second decade, 91~00 years, the 10 years from the heyday to the beginning of the decline of Hong Kong films, with 92 and 93 as the dividing point;

In the third decade, since 2001, Hong Kong films have returned to the 10 years of complete decline, with 03 "Infernal Affairs" as the dividing point.

That's it for the Academy Awards and Hong Kong films, and their influence is slowly weakening.

Lu Bu, Zeng Wei, and Zhang Guirong did not participate in the follow-up media interviews and returned to the mainland overnight.

Zhang Guirong's "Red Cliff" only started yesterday, and he, the protagonist, couldn't take a long vacation from the beginning.

Lu Bu's "The King of Kung Fu" will hold a kick-off ceremony tomorrow morning, and he is one of the leading actors and must be present.

Zeng Wei is filming "The Secret History of Kangxi", and when she is filming her role, she can't leave for too long.

However, it was already late in Hangzhou, so I rested on the spot for one night and went to Hengdian early the next morning.

The opening ceremony of "The King of Kung Fu" was very large.

Wang Jun of Friendship Brothers attended as a representative of the investor, and then there was director Rob Minkoff, starring Cheng Cage, Li Lianjie, Lu Bu, Liu Yifei, Li Li, Zou Zhaolang, etc.

Martial arts instructor Yuan Heping, because the Hollywood drama has not yet been completed, it will be several days late to join the group.

In the first sentence of the meeting, he said: "It's a pity that I didn't get the actor." ”

Lu Bu smiled faintly and said modestly: "I'm a newcomer, and it's not my turn yet." ”

Cheng Cage sighed: "Action, comedy, fantasy and other types of films, it is difficult for the male and female protagonists to get the best actress, I ......" He raised his finger and pointed at himself, helplessly and slightly sadly: "You may not know, since the 4th, he has been nominated for the Best Actor Award with "Plan A", and the 5th has also relied on "Dragon's Heart" and "Police Story" to occupy two places, but they have all accompanied, eight times, and they have not won the award once. ”

This is indeed like a comedian, except for Zhou Gaochi who won the actor with "Shaolin Football", only the first generation of "King of Comedy" Xu Guanwen and the "bald" Mecca successfully topped the actor's throne.

However, there are exceptions, Liu Qingyun, who has just been named the actor, is acting in feature films, and he has been with him many times.

Since 1995, he has won the best actor with "Chongqing Forest", "Happy Spring", "In the Mood for Love", "Infernal Affairs" and "2046", with a total of 8 nominations and 5 wins, which is quite dazzling.

Li Lianjie, who was on the side, heard the content of the conversation between the two, interjected, and said: "After watching the Academy Awards for so many years, the judges are more inclined to literary and drama films, while it is more difficult for martial arts films to win awards. ”

Cheng Lang nodded, couldn't agree anymore, and said: "Everyone knows that filming martial arts movies is very hard and very tiring, but even if you get injured for filming, the judges still feel that this has nothing to do with acting." ”

Lu Bu ended the topic in a joking way, saying: "It seems that I won't be able to win the actor in my life." ”

As soon as he entered the action movie, it was as deep as the sea, and from then on the actor was a passerby, Li Lianjie and Cheng Cage patted him on the shoulder left and right.

At this time, Liu Yifei ran over and said, "Brother Jie, big brother, Mr. Wang asked you to go over and take pictures." ”

Li Lianjie and Cheng Cage got up and left.

Liu Yifei sat down next to Lu Bu and also talked about yesterday's Academy Awards.

After a while, Liu Xiaoli took two bottles of water to them.

"Thank you." Lu Bu put the water aside and said, "Is Aunt Liu going to officially enter the entertainment industry?" ”

Liu Xiaoli will play the queen mother in "The King of Kung Fu".

"It's not." She shook her head lightly, and smiled helplessly: "Oh, it's all Sissi's idea, she wants me to accompany her, I didn't see much drama, so I agreed to her, there will be no next time." ”

She once said that in the days when I divorced and lived alone, my daughter accompanied me for fifteen years, which brought me great happiness and comfort, and now I will accompany her for fifteen years.

Liu Yifei hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, it's a pity that you don't act, really, I don't believe you asked Brother Xiaoyao." ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said half-jokingly: "Yes, Aunt Liu, I am afraid that many actresses will be unemployed when you go out of the mountain." ”

In the post bar, netizens called Liu Yifei "fairy sister" and Liu Xiaoli "Holy Mother".

Liu Xiaoli's appearance is already good-looking, she has been practicing dancing since she was a child, and she has a good figure, and she is forty-eight years old, and she is as good as her thirties.

Such an image, whether in the TV circle or in the film industry, has a market.

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "Mom, you can not believe my words, but Brother Xiaoyao's words must be true." ”

Liu Xiaoli raised her hand and tapped on the door of her head, and said dotingly: "You." ”

After chatting a few words, the booting ceremony was about to begin, and they all went to gather.

In fact, burning incense and worshiping God should be the rule from the old opera garden, before the performance, burn incense and kowtow to the ancestor backstage, ask the ancestor to appreciate the food, the attitude should be pious, and burning incense is also to seek peace of mind.

Later, this custom was retained by Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it has been slowly used from the theater garden to the film crew.

However, the times are different, and it is not only the ancestor of Liyuan who worships the gods, but also Guan Er Ye and the God of Wealth, as well as other general and vague gods.

In short, they are all blessings for peace and auspiciousness during the filming, box office or ratings Changhong.

This time, there are many Hollywood people in the main creative team of "The King of Kung Fu", and they also follow the local customs and participate in it.

In order to avoid adapting to the water and soil, it is also right to burn incense and worship God, which can be regarded as a tribute to the tradition of Chinese films.

As for whether the movie is made well in the end, it depends on the right time, place and people, as well as the skill and dedication of the creators.

This was followed by an interview, which was the focus, with a total investment of $70 million, and the hype was in place.

Cheng Cage was the first to be asked.

A female reporter got up and said: "Hello big brother, I am a reporter from "Xiangjiang Film Weekly", what I want to ask is, this is the first time you have cooperated with Liu Yifei and Li Yuyu, what is your impression of them?" ”

Cheng Cage thought for a while and said: "Liu Yifei is beautiful, tall enough, speaks English well, the most important advantage is that she is young, she is also very serious in acting, easy to enter the play, is a very professional actor, I also have a feeling that her language talent is very good, she can speak Shandong, Hunan, and Cantonese with me." ”

"Li Li, we have known each other for a long time, she has good looks, acting skills, and has always looked forward to working together, but in this scene, she is our enemy, and she wants to hunt down and kill the four of us alone."

"They are all very good actors, I am sure that they will definitely be our domestic female stars who can become popular in Hollywood after Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi."

He has been cultivating and promoting young actors.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say good things.

All kinds of compliments are enough.

And then there's Li Lianjie.

A male reporter took the microphone and said: "Hello Brother Jie, I am a reporter from "Global Screen" magazine, what do you think of this drama costing 70 million US dollars to shoot, and whether Lu Bu has become the first star of the new generation in the domestic film industry?" ”

Li Lianjie smiled slightly and said: "I can't tell you about the investment, I have to ask the producer, and this one is $7,000, and I have another one that is $170 million." ”

"Don't put too much pressure on our actors, who can say who is the 'first', here he is the first star of the new generation, and when it comes to other press conferences, such a title will be given to others, right."

"I still hope that everyone will watch this movie with a normal heart."

He answered questions without leaks.

After all, we have seen the world, and we have faced more acute problems.

It's hard to get him to say the wrong thing.

followed by Liu Yifei.

A female reporter asked: "I am a reporter from "Chinese Film Daily", what I want to ask is, this is your first film work, and it is a historic cooperation with the eldest brother, Brother Jie and the second brother, how did you get this 'historic role' coveted by countless actresses?" ”

Liu Yifei pondered for a moment and said: "I received a call from the crew, saying that the eldest brother and Brother Jie are co-producing a drama and are looking for the heroine. ”

"Director Robert Minkoff must have taken a long time to get to know me."

"Of course, the historic cooperation naturally has to have a historic change, I can no longer be a 'fairy sister', nor can I be a 'Ling'er sister', I have become a 'heroine', this role has action scenes, emotional scenes, heroic prestige, and is very pitiful, this is a typical Hollywood female image, very strong and strong."

She remains humble, neither humble nor arrogant.

The answer is also very clever.

Avoid points that are controversial or that will be used to make a fuss, and focus on your own character.

It was Li Baiyu who kept up.

A male reporter said in a deep voice: "I am a reporter from the weekly "Star Gossip", I read some of the previous revelations, your role is not as much as Liu Yifei, right, will you be robbed of the limelight?" Do you and Liu Yifei have a rivalry? ”

Li Baili frowned slightly and said: "Everyone's play will have something particularly brilliant, and the most important thing is that everyone plays their role well." ”

"My play is a relatively separate line, and there will be relatively less rivalry with Yifei."

"But I like her performances very much, such as "The Family of Gold Powder", "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", I am also very happy to cooperate with her this time, and she is also a very refreshing and grinning person, and the scene will be very happy, because she is also a happy person."

Judging from the position, she was indeed suppressed by Liu Yifei.

She is now the first sister of the friendship brothers, and her wrist is bigger than Liu Yifei.

Fortunately, this is the male lead play, otherwise it would really have to be torn up.

In the end, Lu Bu pressed the field.

A female reporter said sharply: "This movie is positioned as a Hollywood blockbuster, the director is American, and it has to use all-English dialogue, will there be obstacles to cooperation?" Can you also evaluate the two big brothers, one is the 'King of Kung Fu' and the other is the 'Emperor of Kung Fu', who is the real number one in your eyes? ”

"(English) My English is okay, but I think acting in Chinese and acting in English are two states, and when you as a Chinese actor want to say English lines, the feeling is also very strange, and many subconscious things and what you want to express in your heart will be subtly different, so this is a new attempt."

"(Chinese) I think Big Brother and Brother Jie are two different styles, but they both represent the most quintessential Chinese martial arts culture."

"The eldest brother's life is very similar to his play, very energetic, very kind, and can make everyone like him, and Brother Jie belongs to the heroes in traditional martial arts, chic, flexible, good at a variety of martial arts, and shows his talent as a martial artist through gorgeous martial arts movements and exquisite martial arts skills."

Sample, I still want to do something.

He is an old Tai Chi master, and a trick of "receiving, transforming and sending hair" is directly resolved.

None of you are newcomers, so you can be easily fooled.

Everyone passed the test smoothly.

In the afternoon, the filming began.

Liu Xiaoli dressed up and made a shape, which really has the feeling of grace and luxury, thousands of manners, and motherly manners of the queen mother.

Liu Yifei stepped forward to hold her arm and praised: "Mom, your appearance is really beautiful." ”

Liu Xiaoli smiled lightly and said, "Not as beautiful as you." ”

Liu Yifei's costume is a little simpler, it is a purple chivalrous costume, and his appearance is more heroic.

Lu Bu's costumes are also plain, red, yellow, and blue cloth clothes, if you want to say that this is a film with an investment of 70 million US dollars, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

“cut!”

“cut!”

“cut!”

Robert Minkoff's calls to stop were heard on set.

Liu Xiaoli NG several times.

She has acted once before, but it was more than ten years ago, and she watched Liu Yifei act in the crew later.

The filming methods of Hollywood directors are quite different from those of domestic directors, so there must be a process of adaptation.

Liu Yifei went up and comforted: "Mom, don't be nervous, just put your expression naturally." ”

Lu Bu gave a small suggestion in the past, saying: "Aunt Liu, take a deep breath, relax, when shooting, you pay attention to how to express emotions and lines, and don't pay too much attention to the position of the camera." ”

Liu Xiaoli nodded and said, "I'll try." ”

With the encouragement of everyone, she finally completed the filming of the first scene.

Robert Minkoff exhaled and said, "Good! ”

After the game, Liu Xiaoli came to Lu Bu and said, "Thank you, Xiao Lu, what you said just now is very effective." ”

Lu Bu smiled lightly: "You're kind Aunt Liu." ”

At this time, Liu Yifei's voice came, saying, "Brother Xiaoyao, it's our turn." ”

Lu Bu got up and said, "Aunt Liu, I'm over." ”

Liu Xiaoli nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

Then, her eyes fell on the tall, handsome and mighty back, not knowing what she was thinking.
