Interpretation of microhistory
After the broadcast of "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai, I realized that Leslie Cheung really didn't lie back then.
That year, after working with Wong Kar-wai several times, Leslie Cheung said on a show,
I don't agree with Wong Kar-wai.
In just a few words, Wang Dao's "ruthlessness" was revealed. And after watching the actors who were madly tortured by Wong Kar-wai, I realized how difficult it was to "survive" from him.
01
Fanhua has caused widespread heated discussions since before the broadcast, and it has been six years from the preparation to the start of the broadcast, and the starring Hu Ge has spent four birthdays in the crew.
Netizens were so anxious that they couldn't help urging Director Wang, can they really see this drama in their lifetime? But in the face of the urging of the outside world, Wong Kar-wai didn't care.
After all, he is notoriously procrastinating.
Since "Chongqing Forest", Wong Kar-wai's filming cycle has almost increased by multiples.
It is worth mentioning that during the filming of "2046", the starring Takuya Kimura experienced love, marriage and childbirth, from a single guy at the beginning of filming to a father of two children in the end.
Not to mention a generation of grandmasters, the time spent makes the audience think that this drama should be called "A Generation Missing".
Although a work will take a long time, it is not false at all that slow work and meticulous work are not fake, and Wong Kar-wai's films are always a guarantee of quality.
And the problem of procrastination did not start after he became popular, but from the beginning of his career.
After graduating from university, Wang joined the production training class of Hong Kong TVB and studied Xi as a screenwriter in the editing and directing group.
At first, he wrote scripts in Huang Baiming's company, but later the boss found out that this kid didn't go to work or hand in his works, and he could still get paid on time.
In the face of the boss's questioning, Wang did not panic,
I work slowly, and it takes time to write a good work.
Huang Baiming didn't believe this kid's excuse at all:
"I'm also a screenwriter, and it took me 48 hours to write the wrong ride, and you can't write a script in three months!"
Later, Huang gave him a three-week deadline, but when the time came, the king handed over a pile of waste paper, and the result was that he was fired.
And Wong Kar-wai, who had no job, met Bole Deng Guangrong.
When he met Deng Guangrong, Wong Kar-wai's first words were,
Can I be a director?
Deng Guangrong didn't say much, but just invested in it with a big wave of his hand and helped Wang shoot his debut film "Mong Kok Carmen". As soon as he made a move, this film not only won tens of millions of box office, but also won Jacky Cheung the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung were both nominated for Best Actor.
After seeing Wong Kar-wai's strength, Deng Guangrong began to invest frantically in Director Wang, but after filming more and more scenes, the actors became more and more "hateful" of this famous director.
02
Deng Guangrong never expected that after a Mong Kok Carmen became popular, what he was waiting for was his own bankrupt company.
After Carmen in Mong Kok, Director Wang brought the masterpiece "The True Story of A Fei", and Deng Guangrong directly invested all the company's 40 million assets into this movie.
But when Director Wang, who has always been delayed, finished filming the first part, he had already spent 39 million.
In the end, the box office was released and only received 9 million box office, and when he learned the news, Deng Da went directly to the hospital. Although this drama has won many trophies in the Golden Statue and the Golden Horse.
But in exchange, Deng Guangrong's company collapsed, and he single-handedly dragged down a company, and Director Wang became "famous" in the industry.
I thought he would be more restrained, but the reality said he wouldn't.
Later, Wang and Liu Zhenwei set up a film company, and after raising funds, they prepared to shoot "East Evil and West Poison". And the lineup of this film is extremely luxurious.
Wang Zuxian, Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung and other top actors,
With the anti-sky team and the anti-sky lineup, Liu Zhenwei feels that Director Wang will definitely not disappoint everyone, and the problem of delaying will not be made again.
What he didn't expect was that the actors had nothing to do after being in the crew for a month, and even the actors were so bored that they started playing mahjong.
Seeing that his partner was so incompetent, Liu Zhenwei had no choice but to go into battle in person and take the same actor to shoot a comedy movie "East Becomes West".
Although the filming cycle is short, the effect is excellent, and it has received more than 20 million box office after its release.
When East Becomes West has already had a bumper box office, the filming of East Evil and West Poison has not yet been completed, and in desperation, all the money earned by "East Becomes West" has been invested in "East Evil and West Poison".
In the end, it took three years for the film to finally be filmed, but the box office was only 9.02 million after its release.
To Liu Zhenwei, many years later, he still said:
"I don't know which movie I like the most, but what I hate the most must be "East Becomes West".
In this way, Liu Zhenwei was confused and became a "big wrongdoer", and he seemed to understand Deng Guangrong's mood at that time.
But Liu Zhenwei is not the only one who "resents", and the actor and actress in the movie are even more miserable.
Before the filming of the film started, everyone at the press conference was full of energy and smiles, and at that time they didn't know what they would experience after that.
Before the start of filming, Maggie Cheung told reporters,
I play a princess, but who would have thought that she would be Ouyang Feng's sister-in-law in the film;
Leslie Cheung said:
The audience can look forward to it, I have a lot of fight scenes in this play.
But in the finished film, his playing scenes are almost equal to zero.
Tony Leung thought he was playing the East Evil, but after filming started, he found out that he was actually a West Poison, and after seeing the finished film, he found that he was a blind warrior.
Do you think they are miserable enough? No, the worst is Wang Zuxian.
In the face of the reporter's interview, Wang Zuxian was very arrogant,
I rarely shoot group scenes, but this time I trusted the director.
But the result of too much trust is that she can't be seen in the finished film, and her shots are all gone.
And these are just Wong Kar-wai's tricks, what he has for actors is strength and means.
Carina Lau cooperated with Wong Kar-wai, and a scene of mopping the floor was filmed 27 times.
It wasn't until he was sweating profusely and the heat evaporated from his hair that Wong Kar-wai nodded.
And Carina Lau's husband Tony Leung who was also tortured by it, may have a soft spot for the number 27, Tony Leung also filmed a scene of eating pears 27 times, and finally Director Wang complained very much about the other party:
Look at you.
In the end, I cried at home for several days.
is not only the case for the actor and actress, but even Leslie Cheung, who has always been favored by Director Wang, cannot escape the catastrophe.
Either running desperately on a 60-foot rooftop or getting stung by a scorpion in the desert.
Even during the filming of "Happy Spring", my brother was unfortunately infected with amoebic bacteria, had diarrhea for three weeks in a row, and almost gave his life to Argentina, and finally even thought about the distribution of the inheritance.
But when he wanted to go back to Hong Kong, he found that his passport was hidden by Director Wang. That's why Leslie Cheung put down that sentence, I don't agree with him.
But then again, although these actors have all been "resentful seeds", it is precisely because of Director Wang that they have been able to leave a strong mark in the Chinese film industry.
Not only was he excavated for his stunning beauty, but he also really embarked on the road of acting.
This can be seen from today's flowers.
Xin Zhilei has a "life lens";
For the first time, Ma Yili had a sense of charm and charm;
Tang Yan tore off the vase label on her body;
Hu Ge also performed a real Shanghai accent.
Although Tang Yan took a shot more than 80 times, although Xin Zhilei finished it four times, although Ma Yili's eyes were shot from night to early morning, although Hu Ge took more than 40 close-ups of his face.
What can leave the audience and the actor himself is a classic and irreplaceable picture.
Many people say that Wong Kar-wai is procrastinating, but it is not false to work slowly and carefully.
And Wong Kar-wai in the film industry makes TV series, which is a dimensionality reduction blow to those directors. And now Feng Xiaogang, who has always won at the box office, "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3" just came out, and was frantically complained by the audience.
Commercial films and literary films cannot be compared, and Director Wang used a TV series to teach Director Feng what real art is.
