Written and directed by Wong Kar-wai and starring Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung, Jacky Cheung and Wan Ziliang, the classic film Carmen Mong Kok (1988) has been talking about for many years. Especially in the final scene, The moment of Andy Lau's death is the most regrettable. Recently, a film from Wong Kar-wai, interviewed by Asia Television Huang Yunshi, unearthed, in which the second ending of "Carmen in Mong Kok", which has been circulating for a long time, was confirmed by Wong Kar-wai that Andy Lau did not die, but became stupid and was sentenced to prison, and Zhang Zhiyu went to visit the prison. The ending was screened at midnight that year, but after receiving a large number of phone calls to delete it, what happened?
Wong Kar-wai: Pure intuition pats
"Carmen in Mong Kok" is Wong Kar-wai's first directing work, when interviewed by Asian television Huang Yunshi, watching the content, the problem revolved around wong Kar-wai's work in the TV station, the script has been too long, to delete a lot of clips. Wong Kar-wai explained that because he met good actors, such as Li Siqi and Huang Yunshi, he wanted to write a little longer and let everyone play. "I have been a screenwriter for too long, I did not control the length of the shooting, and because I did not have a complete script when shooting, plus I caught up with the painting, the cuts were not cut, and I shot and patted purely intuitively, and the result will grow a lot."
The death of Andy Lau is the audience's request
When asked about "Carmen in Mong Kok", there are two clips to cut and delete, one of which scene does not say which scene, but it is purely too long to cut, and the other is about Andy Lau's ending. "The movie was originally on the midnight show, Ending Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung had a scene, but after the midnight show, many female audience members called and asked to let Andy Lau die in the play! Don't become an idiot, good yin, and as a result we decided to cut it. ”
Wong Kar-wai felt that this was a loss for the boss, individuals and the audience, "The boss lost money because he didn't have to shoot itself." The personal loss is because it feels good, and the audience has a loss, because it is filmed and cannot be seen. In fact, this scene was once reserved when it was released in other regions, and in the early years, some netizens also found the original film to share.
