Zhou Xiuna, who successfully transformed from a "beautiful model" to an acting school, was shortlisted for the "Best Actress" at the 37th Hong Kong Film Awards in her early years with the movie "29+1". Zhou Xiuna (Na Jie) and Zhang Jicong in the movie "Mada. "Lena" once again formed a drama and staged a love story that took place in Macau. Having another chance to take the throne after the film, partner Zhang Jicong has already regarded Na Jie as a first-line actress, which scared her into looking embarrassed and said: "What a line!" I'm scared! Sister Na threatened to shoot a drama to see if she had feelings for a role, and she would not want to "get the award", but Zhang Jicong was optimistic about Sister Na and warmly praised her as the "best actress" in her heart.
Zhang Jicong and Zhou Xiuna (Na Jie) starred in the movie "Mada. In "Lena", it tells the love story of Zhang Jicong playing the unmarried taxi driver "Mada" and Zhou Xiuna playing the single-parent worker "Lena" who strives to make money, and the two meet in Macau. Zhang Jicong, who often plays funny roles, this time he changed the drama path, and he did not have any funny elements in the movie. Zhang Jicong frankly said that after joining the new company, he hopes to change the drama road, he believes that actors can also try different roles with different ages, they have played funny and crazy roles before, but they feel that their age has passed, and now there are many new actors who can play funny roles to do well, so they want to experience playing mature roles. He said: "I used to study in the Academy of Performing Arts, mainly acting, I would act in comedy when I was on TVB, I wanted to try a serious film road, Gu Tianle Cinema said that there were new movies for me to do, just with Zhou Xiuna to interpret the love story that happened in Macau." I saw that script so seriously, right now? react! This movie I think a good tempering, no surprise plot, in fact, a good bland love story, look out a lot or Motor and Lena, but in the actor is a big challenge, because to become an ordinary person, the early stage to do a lot of work, this time and Na Sister is not acting, but into a role, I hope that the audience will look down is Mada and Lena, want to see these two people, this time spent a lot of time with the director to talk for nearly two months.
Since the film was filmed in Macau, Zhang Jicong and Zhou Xiuna were quarantined in the local area for 20 days before filming, and the two took advantage of the quarantine period to talk about the script every day. Zhang Jicong laughed and said that during this period of isolation, he concentrated on the role every day, as if asking Tong Shang to change to the role, and it was helpful for him to come to the music, and he would listen to some classical music to help put into the role, and he would not stop listening. He said: "The character is a very lonely person, I will imagine what to do with loneliness? I sit here motionless from the sun to dusk, and when I think about it, I write it on the script, and I create a lot of memories of The Motor and Lena, like writing a novel." Zhang Jicong, who plays a taxi driver in the play, appears in a sparrow throwing costume, and in reality, he likes to dress up in a fashion suit, which is like two people. Zhang Jicong laughed and said that the role in the shape is very helpful, once in Macao where there are many migrant workers appearing to shoot, go to a group of migrant workers to take pictures, even Zhou Xiuna can not recognize him in the photo after reading it. He said: "I stood here wearing a mask and didn't move, I was pretending to watch Zhou Xiuna filming. I used to sit in a taxi on this street again, and a Macau resident passed by and said, "You are really like a taxi driver!" "Actually, macau's road driving to the ripe sun! Sister Na smiled and pointed out that she did not understand that Zhang Jicong's costume was the same as that of migrant workers wearing black clothing.
In the movie, Zhou Xiuna plays a single parent worker who strives to make money, she admits that there may be many such people in life, but the biggest difficulty is that in reality, she has not become a parent, it is difficult to understand the mood of being a mother, but she has also immigrated and sent people to the fence, and accepted twenty days of isolation before the start of filming in Macau, and felt that the role of each day had a great feeling. She said: "This role came to Macau for a man at the beginning, completely for love, when I accepted quarantine, I would want to go to this strange place, I had to be alone, I didn't have to go out, no one would have no money!" There was only one man, and I felt like I was waiting at the hotel to help me see my temperature. Ha ha! "Na Jie, who is from Chaozhou herself, has a teochew dialect scene in the movie, but she laughs and says that she does not need to practice, but when she made the movie, no one spoke to her in Teochew dialect, and no one knew whether she said Teochew dialect right or wrong. She said: "When the assistant director was shooting the film with me in Cantonese, although he spoke his hometown dialect, it felt strange.
Zhang Jicong and Zhou Xiuna staged a car shock scene in the movie, Zhang Jicong stressed that it is not to show off pornography, that is, to tell that the role he played has been deceived, and when he meets the woman Lena, he has renewed hope and feels that there are still people who love him. However, when shooting, the weather was cold and close to the sea, he and Na Jie filmed intimate scenes in the carriage, the place in the carriage was small, everyone had to bring a leg to be intimate, but it was hard and the photographer, because the photographer hid in the gap behind the carriage to shoot. He said: "Hong Kong was already cold at that time, but Macau is still cold! Everyone saw me put on a pair of sandals, every time I wore a pair of sandals to wear out a few toes like ice, filming this scene is actually very comfortable, do not roll the machine on the heating, but a class of staff is wearing down coats the whole snowman so 㗑!
Zhang Jicong has cooperated with Zhou Xiuna in the past, and the two have co-starred in the comedy movie "The Empress Bumps Right". This time the two once again got together, interpreting the love theme movie, Na Sister praised Zhang Jicong has been good acting, but I think the other party has changed a lot, because the film road of the previous cooperation is mostly comedy-oriented, although everyone has cooperation, but rarely performs in the same scene, this time the cooperation mainly revolves around the love story of MaDa and Lena, so many scenes and Zhang Jicong do opponent plays. She said: "In fact, the first time I tried styling to see Zhang Jicong, it would not make me think of the funny feeling of my previous cooperation with him, he has been making movies and preparing for kung fu well, in addition to the scenes have time to laugh." 」 This time, everyone's role is so depressing, and Zhang Jicong will adjust an atmosphere when appropriate. Zhang Jicong believes that women have different beauty at different stages of age, and now Zhou Xiuna has entered the stage of having femininity, but instead of dressing up, it has penetrated through life experience, and she believes that Na Jie's performance in the movie believes that the audience will see many new possibilities for Na Jie.
Zhou Xiuna, known as the ancestor of the "beautiful model", in order to get rid of the "beautiful model" image and put away the sexiness, has turned to the film and television industry for many years, successfully transformed with acting skills, and was nominated for the "Best Actress" award at the 37th Hong Kong Film Awards with the movie "29+1". From the movie "Mada. After being invited to be the competition film of the 23rd Italian Udini", "Lena" also became the opening film of "Hong Kong Asian Film Festival 2021", and then was invited to participate in the "Sunrise International Film Festival Competition Unit" in Japan, which shows that it has attracted much attention. Zhou Xiuna, who has focused on the film industry in recent years, talked about the confidence that she can rely on the movie "Motor. Lena won the film queen award? She said: "When I took a movie and read the script, of course, I didn't want to reward this thing, I often felt that shooting a scene depended on whether I had feelings for a role, how many pictures I saw in my mind, like or suck not attracted to myself! I received the role of Good Lena because I felt that there were many different things for the audience to see, I rarely got the script to find that a girl character is so detailed, and some characters before will not focus on a relationship! Do you ask me if I want to get a reward? I wouldn't want to get a reward! Zhang Jicong smiled and pointed out that Zhou Xiuna is now a first-line actress, and Sister Na heard the words and said: "What a line!" I'm scared! "Can you have confidence in cooperating with Na Jie to win the award with this film?" After Zhang Jicongli praised Sister Na to do the film shoot, he said: "Of course, I have confidence!"
