Wanwan did not expect that in 2021, I would hear the news that Hu Jun and Liu Ye would cooperate again.
Netizens broke the news, saying that these two will jointly star in the new movie "Wangdao" directed by Hou Yong, and as soon as the news came out, everyone exclaimed: In their lifetime!
The reason why everyone is so excited has to start from a movie 20 years ago.
At that time, Hu Jun was in his early 30s, and Liu Ye had just graduated. The two have collaborated on a film by Hong Kong director Kwan Kam Peng.
Although the film could not be officially released in the mainland due to the limitations of the subject matter, it still had a great influence at that time.
With the film, Guan Jinpeng won the Best Director Award at the 38th Golden Horse Awards, and Liu Ye became the Golden Horse Award Film Emperor.
What is touching is that the actors act well, and they are really in the bones.
On the day the crew shut down, everyone was crying. The director even made a reminder to let them not meet again for a while.....
01, 20 years ago shooting past
Back in 1999, producer Zhang Yongning read an online novel called "Beijing Story" on the recommendation of a friend.
The story is about a college student (Liu Ye) from a poor family and Chen Huongdong (Hu Jun), who has a successful career, and they have feelings for each other after having a relationship of "taking what they need".
When Chen Handong married the translator Lin Jingping, and then ended the marriage because his wife was unwilling to have children, thus falling into an economic dispute, the other party directly sold the house and used all the savings to help his sweetheart.
But this relationship was still spurned by the world, and finally ended completely with the death of the male protagonist.
After being deeply moved by the storyline, Zhang Yongning wanted to make the work into a movie.
However, he had never been involved in this field before this.
After several turns, Zhang Yongning contacted the famous director Guan Jinpeng.
At first, the other party did not comment on this matter, after all, in the general environment at that time, this kind of film theme was too sensitive, but the story was really touching, and Guan Jinpeng decided to shoot after thinking about it again and again.
At first, he watched a lot of actors and wasn't satisfied.
After a long period of screening by the crew, they locked their eyes on Hu Jun and Liu Ye.
Coincidentally, both of them graduated from Chinese opera.
At that time, one was a well-known drama actor,
One was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor for "The Man That Mountain That Dog".
However, the attitudes of the two sides after learning the content of the script are completely different.
Because Hu Jun had previous experience in shooting the same theme film "East Palace west palace" and contacted this group of people, "most of them are elites in various industries, very excellent, very keen."
In the process of contacting these people, he was naturally moved by this emotion, "the purity of that emotion, the sense of dependence, the kind of thing that does not abandon, it is really very touching, I think they are very remarkable." 」
Therefore, when Guan Jinpeng found him, he responded without saying a word.
But Liu Ye directly refused the invitation.
"I personally resist this kind of subject matter and never look at it. I think acting as a man on this subject particularly dampens my self-esteem, really."
After learning that the director was Guan Jinpeng, he convinced himself to take the play.
During the audition, Guan said: "During the audition, I saw that there was a chemical action between the two of them, which was very subtle and unclear. ”
Hu Jun also had this feeling: "When the line is taken, things come out at once, it is an inexplicable tacit understanding, and it is difficult to express it in words." ”
However, whoever thought that after really starting to shoot, their performance effect became much worse than before.
The two tough guys have not really experienced such feelings in the end, and it is inevitable that they will not find a direction when acting.
Originally, Guan Jinpeng wanted the two to see each other often and cultivate more feelings, but the two sides saw each other less than five times a month.
In the end, the director could only force them to stay together for a whole month, going through the script once a day.
Some people say that during this period, Guan Jinpeng told them about the emotional experience between himself and his boyfriend, expounded all the sad and happy clutches, and helped them find the feelings in the play.
There are also rumors that a friend of Liu Ye came to confess his "identity" to Liu Ye after knowing that he was going to star in this film, and proposed: You only need to love your opponent Hu Jun, like a woman.
Although I don't know the authenticity of these things, after this period of running-in, the two finally entered the role in a tacit understanding.
In one scene, the two male protagonists met again many years later, and Chen Handong, who was sad, said: "I want to hug you." ”
The two immediately embraced each other, and the other replied without thinking: "You are fat." ”
A few simple words will show the unforgettable love of both sides to the fullest.
On the day of the movie shutdown, the staff coaxed Hu Jun Liu Ye to sing.
Hu Jun still looked at Liu Ye like Chen Handong, "Hey, you sing a song for me."
Liu Ye said the lines in the movie without thinking: "I can't sing." ”
"It's the song you often sing, 'The Person Who Loves You The Most Is Me'" ah!
Xu is worried that they can't play, and Guan Jinpeng directly sets "military rules" to let the two sides not meet again after filming.
02, fade to contact to reunite again
When Liu Ye won the Golden Horse Award, he pulled Hu Jun to the stage together, "I would like to ask my brother Hu Jun to give a testimonial."
"Well, I'm very happy, really, very happy that my little disciple Liu Ye brought back this golden horse."
However, the audience seems to be too deep into the drama, although Hu Jun was already married at that time, and his wife Lu Fang also made a cameo appearance in the film as Chen Handong's sister, which still failed to stop the fermentation of public opinion.
Liu Ye and Hu Jun's remarks have led some netizens to speculate wildly about their relationship. For a time, the Internet was full of rumors of their mutual affection.
It was not until 2003, when the two joined forces again to shoot "Painting the Soul", that everyone slowly shifted the focus from the actor's private feelings to the work.
At the opening banquet, Hu Jun took Liu Ye to a table to toast, and he was so drunk that he actually blurted out "one kowtow, two kowtows."
Liu Ye mentioned in the interview that he had been reunited for a long time, and also said that he hid and cried alone, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time."
Soon after, Hu Jun celebrated his thirty-fourth birthday and poked the hearts of countless CP fans.
Liu Ye attended wearing the denim jacket given to him by the other party, and the two wore the couple necklace given to them by the fans, holding hands and cutting the cake together.
When the media asked Liu Ye what gift he had given to Hu Jun, he replied with a smile: "I sent my own heart." ”
Perhaps afraid of the audience's misunderstanding, after the completion of "Painting the Soul", Liu Ye and Hu Jun rarely intersected.
Even in 2009, when Liu Ye and Anna entered the palace of marriage, Hu Jun did not appear.
I don't know whether it was tears of joy or sadness because the participants in the entire film were not present, Liu Ye's tears wet his eyes that day.
Later, after many years, he and Hu Jun met backstage at an event, and they only said goodbye in a hurry.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like shuttles, and the two are in the same frame again, and it has reached 2015.
The two were invited to record the variety show "Where Did Daddy Go", before recording, the program team did not tell them of each other's existence, resulting in a slight embarrassment when the two sides met.
"I asked the program team if they were compatible with other people, and they said that there must be someone who can get along with you, and when they get to the airport, they don't know that it is Liu Ye."
After a simple hug and greeting, immediately go cold.
After that, the two turned their backs to the camera and talked about the children from time to time.
Fortunately, both sides have become mature grandfathers with children around their knees, and they are still able to cope with the stalemate that has not been seen for many years.
You gradually found the revolutionary friendship of that year in your conversation with me, and after that, you couldn't stop all kinds of interactions.
Liu Ye sunbathed the cave where he and Hu Jun lived, recalling the past.
Play games together and help each other.
From time to time, he would whisper.
When Liu Ye occasionally fails to record a program due to work reasons, Hu Jun will also take the initiative to help take care of each other's children, Nina and Noyi.
After that, the two also gathered and drank together.
Celebrate each other's birthdays.
At Hu Jun's clothing brand conference, Liu Ye also personally went to the scene.
Compared with before, the friendship between the two seems to have only increased.
epilogue
Of course, after the show was broadcast, there were still many CP fans of the two on the Internet to hype.
These Hu Juns were all clear, "People think we are suitable, in fact, we have nothing to do with each other."
He was not dissatisfied with this, but frankly said that he was very relieved to see everyone so enthusiastic.
"This movie can still have such a big response, in fact, this is the thing that I and Akiko should be most pleased with."
"We did something worth doing"!
Looking back now, it seems that it is the audience who cannot play.
In fact, if they can cooperate again, it will be considered a grandfather. Whether they are really fit or not, they all look forward to the two of them being able to bring more wonderful works!
