Chapter 200: The Sword Goes to Europe and the United States
News of Chen's win at the Japan Record Award in Japan, as well as several other important awards, spread throughout East Asia.
All kinds of news about his awards, as well as scandalous news about the popularity, emerge one after another.
Just when the media collectively rubbed his popularity and reported it on a large scale, Chen Qiming quietly returned to Hong Kong.
May 11.
"Chongqing Forest", produced by Zedong Film Company, a duo of Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai, quietly started shooting in the alley next to Chungking Mansion in Hong Kong.
As one of the leading actors, Chen Qiming naturally wanted to be there.
After a simple start-up ceremony, filming began immediately.
Because "Chongqing Forest" depicts two love stories, Chen Qiming and Takeshi Kaneshiro serve as the male protagonists of one of the stories.
Therefore, after the filming began, the crew was divided into two teams and started filming.
Among them, because this story segment of Chen Qiming is more important, Wong Kar-wai personally led the filming of this story.
Originally, in the news that Chen Qiming heard from the media and his peers, Wong Kar-wai was a guy with extreme procrastination.
His movie didn't take half a year and didn't want to make it well.
But this time, Chen Qiming was surprised.
As soon as the filming of the movie started, Wong Kar-wai immediately showed a different way of behaving from the outside world, although the shooting speed cannot be called fast, but it is definitely not slow.
In just one week, more than half of Chen Qiming's scenes were filmed.
Just when Chen Qiming thought that this movie would become a fast gunslinger movie with a strong Hong Kong style, it appeared unexpectedly.
This morning, Chen Qiming rushed to the crew early in the morning, said hello to Liu Weiqiang, who was in charge of the photography team, and then went to the rented fast food restaurant next to him to talk to Wong Kar-wai about the plot.
In the play "Chongqing Forest", the script obtained by Chen Qiming is very fragmented, only a few hundred words short.
As a result, it is difficult for Chen Qiming to figure out some of the positioning of the role from this.
In addition, Wong Kar-wai likes to shoot what he remembers, the whole shooting plot is messy, and there will even be a plot that was filmed yesterday and he himself confirmed that it was OK, and the next day, he suddenly said that he wanted to reshoot.
Therefore, in order to grasp his role positioning, Chen Qiming will talk to Wong Kar-wai first every day after coming to the crew.
"Don't worry! I'll come back when I'm done filming here, it won't be too long, huh...... Love you! Giggle...... When did you talk like that, so numb......"
The fast food restaurant has an inner and outer room, the outer room is a small dining room where people can eat, and the inner room is a boss's office, which Wong Kar-wai has converted into his office, where he will work on plots or various crew jobs every day.
As soon as Chen Qiming entered the outhouse, he heard a small, but very clear, female voice speaking.
Just listening to the voice, Chen Qiming couldn't help but smile.
It is none other than Wang Jingwen, who plays with him the most in the play, that is, Faye Wong.
After entering the crew, Chen Qiming is not too familiar with this popular diva in Hong Kong.
This one is very cold, doesn't like to talk very much, and has always acted alone, so the two have few opportunities to deal with each other except for filming.
But after a long stay in the crew, he also learned some things about this person.
For example, this person has a boyfriend, and the other party seems to be from the entertainment industry, but it should be from the mainland.
The two often talked on the phone.
Chen Qiming accidentally heard Faye Wong hiding in the corner and talking to the person opposite more than once.
To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this incomparably cold actress could say all kinds of love words that made people blush.
Ignoring Faye Wong, who was hiding behind the counter of the fast food restaurant and making a phone call, Chen Qiming walked straight to the inner room, knocked on the door gently, and walked in after getting a response from the people inside.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Qiming couldn't help frowning.
The inner room space is not big or small, it is about the same size as an ordinary office, the sound insulation effect is very good, and you can also put some equipment and props of the crew here, but again, the ventilation of this room is not very good.
At this time, the house was filled with smoke, and pale white smoke drifted in the air, as if entering a fairyland.
It's just that this fairyland is not something that ordinary people can stay in, especially for people like Chen Qiming who never smoke.
In his eyes, the swirling white mist was like a demon, and he hated it to the extreme.
Covering his nose, he looked at the desk in the room.
At this time, Wong Kar-wai was sitting there.
He had a cigarette in his hand and was frowning at the paper in his hand.
At his feet, cigarette butts were piled up, and a pile of crumpled waste paper.
"I'm sorry, I was thinking of finishing your scene as much as possible, but I'm afraid I can't do it now.
There was a problem with the script, and I needed to tie the two stories together and express a feeling of broken love, but now both of those things need to be re-planned, so ......"
Wong Kar-wai raised his head and said to Chen Qiming.
He also wears sunglasses.
It seemed that the sunglasses had become a part of him.
"Do you mean the crew needs to come to a standstill?"
Chen Qiming asked.
"yes, that's pretty much it, I need to re-polish the script!"
Wong Kar-wai nodded.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming opened his mouth to speak, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say what came out of his mouth.
He actually wanted to say, I can help you refer to it.
But recalling this movie in his mind, he found that he didn't know much about this play.
It's not that he doesn't know at all, he still knows the general plot.
However, even if there is a plot, to be honest, he doesn't know much about what this movie wants to express, and even many of the things in it.
yes, that's the fuck up.
As the protagonist, as a person with some memories of later generations, he didn't even understand this movie.
Not only him, but even Wong Kar-wai himself, I'm afraid that if he really lets him interpret this movie himself, he will probably be blind.
In this case, Chen Qiming really didn't know how he could help him.
"How long does the crew need to stop, you know, I can't stay here all the time......"
Chen Qiming pondered for a moment and spoke.
"I don't know how long, when I re-write the script, it may be two or three days, or it may be a month!"
Wong Kar-wai was silent for a moment and said.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming suddenly felt a little painful.
Here it comes! The rumored Wang Dazu is online.
Maybe he felt a little embarrassed, or maybe he was afraid that Chen Qiming would roll up and leave directly, Wong Kar-wai threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stomped it out with his foot, and said:
"You can go and get busy with your work first, but I hope that when I call you here, you can rush back to the crew!"
After speaking, he said with a straight face: "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the run-in supplement of the script as soon as possible!" ”
……
Coming out of the fast food restaurant, Chen Qiming said hello to the acquaintances of the crew, and then got in the car and left here.
He finally agreed with Wong Kar-wai's statement and went to work on his business first, and then came to shoot after Wong Kar-wai re-finished the script.
It's a hassle, but it's a good thing.
At the very least, Chen Qiming can take advantage of this time to produce the English record he has been preparing.
Perhaps, when his English record is produced, Wong Kar-wai may not have finished the script yet.
Anyway, don't care about him so much, go about your own business first.
He wants to take advantage of this time to get the English record done.
Then, then the sword pointed at Europe and the United States.
