It's not that you can't shoot love in the midst of war.

It's not that you can't shoot the war-torn love between a Chinese woman and a foreign soldier.

However, the script of "Chinese Widow" felt very strange to Liu Yifei.

It's true that this is a co-production, but I don't know what the producer thinks, what Liu Yifei sent was actually an English script.

But this is another Chinese story.

When Liu Yifei read the script, she had to translate the script into Chinese in her mind so that she could understand it.

The problem is how awkward the lines look.

Liu Yifei didn't reject this book at the first time, she thought that the awkwardness of the lines might be because the script was in English, and if she translated it in her head, she would unconsciously lean on the translation.

So she immediately contacted the filmmaker and asked them to send another Chinese script.

The film party quickly responded that Liu Yifei would ask for another Chinese script, which showed that she was interested in this film, and the Chinese script was sent to her work email within two minutes.

The name is really a literal translation, it is called "The Chinese Widow".

Liu Yifei reprinted it and read the script again.

After reading two pages, the unnaturalness of the previous language reappeared.

The characters' lines do not conform to Chinese habits, not the logic and ideas of Chinese.

Liu Yifei's eyebrows tightened the more she looked at it, she compared the Chinese and English scripts, and found that the Chinese script was a blunt translation of the English script, without language polish, let alone the secondary creation of Xindaya.

But Liu Yifei is a little reluctant, because the director of this play is really good!

Billy August, double Palme d'Or winner, an absolute celebrity in the international film industry, going to the Big Three is as easy as drinking water.

Being able to play his role will undoubtedly show a big face in the art film industry.

But Liu Yifei was not stunned by such an international director, she realized a question, why would such a big director come to make a co-production?

It's not that he deliberately says bad things about co-productions, it's just that in recent years, if a foreign director is in charge, then he is probably a third-rate director.

Can you imagine Haneke making a co-production? Can you imagine Martin Sr. making a co-production?

The directors who come to make co-productions, not to say eighty, at least half of them enter the set with the mentality of "taking over a job and making a lot of money".

Yes, Director Zhang.

Liu Yifei has only heard of Billy August's name for a long time, and she doesn't know much about the director himself, could it be that such a big director will also lose his family property because of eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and now having to make co-productions to make money?

It should cost a lot of money to ask such a director to film.

But let's just do it......

Liu Yifei decided to communicate with the filmmaker first whether he could change it, and the director should have a good script.

Liu Yifei asked the representatives of the film to meet the next day, and the two people who came, one was the producer of the crew, and the other was a deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Zhejiang Province.

When I asked, I found out that the producer behind this drama is the Zhejiang Provincial Government unit, and it is the task for people to shoot this film.

Liu Yifei raised her doubts about the script, there are two main points, the plot is too bland, the drama conflict is not enough, the Chinese widow saves the American soldier, there are many conflicts that can be dug up, but the script really only writes the one thing "the Chinese widow saves the American soldier"; The second point is the issue of the language of the lines.

"It's not like the habit of us Chinese to speak." Liu Yifei said it very bluntly.

The other producer was helpless and said: "We didn't write the script, he wrote it with an American screenwriter." He doesn't use our scripts, and he doesn't shoot what others write. ”

"It's going to be hard to shoot then." Liu Yifei said.

"It's okay, we have a translator."

Liu Yifei also wanted the other party to change the script, but the producer said that the script should be discussed with the director, and it seems that they really hope to move Liu Yifei to participate.

After a few people finished chatting, Liu Yifei took his leave.

Another company, Liu Yifei didn't want to take "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", but she didn't reply to the other party so quickly.

Ahri is very persistent, and has been docking with Liu Yifei's agent, promising various conditions.

The agent naturally knew that Liu Yifei didn't want to take this scene, and he had rejected Ahri a few days ago, saying that Liu Yifei's schedule was not suitable and he couldn't accept it.

The other party hinted that they could accept Liu Yifei's play, as long as Liu Yifei could come, it would be easy to say anything.

The agent asked Ahri: "The heroine invited us, who do you think is suitable for the hero?" ”

Looking for a male protagonist who can match Liu Yifei to act in an idol drama?

It's too hard.

Now this group of young actors, even the most popular Li Yifeng, Wu Qian and others, can't match Liu Yifei on the big screen.

In other words, in the idol (drama) circle, no one is as good as Liu Yifei.

No matter how ugly it is, it's not a circle, so why do you have to be in a play.

Be an idol, be a traffic, and play in the rice circle, don't pull "actor Liu Yifei".

In fact, Liu Yifei really thought about this problem.

It is said that she has also won the A-class actress now, and has cooperated with big directors such as Xu Ke and Zhang Yimou, and she is a proper and powerful actress, but why do these films that can be seen at a glance take the idol traffic route still send them to herself?

Ahri will never send "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" to Zhang Ziyi.

Or is she too young.

Her peers, whether they are actresses or actors, are still rolling in the drama circle, or playing the traffic idol set, and they have not yet transformed.

Liu Yifei looked too strange standing in this group of people.

is young, debuted too early, has good grades, and has a high coffee position.

is also born with a protagonist face.

Zhang Ziyi is the same, but the difference between her and Zhang Ziyi is that her face is not as sharp as Zhang Ziyi, and her appearance is not as aggressive as Zhang Ziyi.

So this gives many people the illusion that "she is still young", obviously she has transformed her strength, but there is still an idol drama script handed to her.

She didn't know if she should be happy or depressed.

Ahri is very tricky about the selection of the leading actor, they just saw Liu Yifei's high votes and large traffic, but they didn't expect what kind of actor to find to match Liu Yifei.

"Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is a drama that highlights the heroine, so the male protagonist's coffee position can be slightly lower than Liu Yifei's.

Ahri is looking for a matching actor for Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei's agent has already thought of the next refusal, no matter who Ahri finds, they all say that they don't match the other party.

Because it is impossible for Ahri to find Zhang Yuanjun to play Yehua.

Liu Yifei felt that she was unlucky, how did she hand over the book, either there was a problem here, or there was a problem, none of which she felt good about, and wanted to follow it.

The accompanying staff couldn't stand it: "It's cheap and good, you see which actress takes over the play, you are diligent and you are good." Li Bingbing's last big heroine movie was "I Do" in 12 years, Fan Bingbing has returned to the TV series circle, after "Painted Skin 2", Zhao Yanzi has never played the big heroine, "Painted Skin 2" is still the double heroine with Zhou Xun. ”

"Doesn't 'Honey' count?" Liu Yifei said.

"She's a heroine, but she's not a big heroine. Look at what you play, there is a big heroine every year, you can steal the fun. ”

It's really true that Liu Yifei got this bargain, smiled and stopped talking. (End of chapter)
