Chapter 5 Samples
As Zhang Aijia said, the next morning, when Chen Chong saw Brigitte Lin, he felt a little strange. It seemed that Brigitte Lin's every move was meaningful.
"It is said that marriages in this world are mostly caused by the instigation and cheering of people around him." On the way to the printing company to watch the sample "Love Before Dawn", he joked: "If Brigitte Lin and I become paired in the future, you will be the big matchmaker."
"Don't be bored, okay?" Zhang Aijia said angrily: "Ninety-nine percent of marriages in this world are monogamous, and none of them are you. What is 80%? You will never be influenced by the people around you, you will only influence others."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Chong, sighed, and said, "I feel that since the film started filming, my emotions have always been unstable, and I have been thinking all day long, suspicious, and I am so irritable."
Chen Chong smiled and said, "I have only heard that actors are too deeply involved in the role and are addicted to roles, which has affected their lives. I didn't expect that those who are directors will be too deeply involved in the role."
"I'm not getting into the show." Zhang Aijia held the inner edge of the door frame of the sports car with her hands, holding her forehead, and said, "I just got less confident the more I filmed it. When I was reading the script, I had many ideas and felt that I could definitely make a wonderful movie. But as I filmed, all those ideas disappeared, and it felt like... it was like turning a pot of thick soup into a cup of warm water, which was light and tasteless, and even felt that life was boring."
"It's inevitable to be a director for the first time." Chen Chong comforted her with a famous quote from his previous life and said, "My arsenic and the fairy grass, you think it's tasteless warm water, and others may think it's delicious juice."
"I hope." Zhang Aijia pursed her lips and said, "You can't laugh at me after you've seen the sample later.
"How could I laugh at you?" Chen Chong said seriously: "There are few actresses who dare to try to be directors when they are young. Your courage and courage are amazing."
Zhang Aijia looked at him with a smile and said, "That's because of you, I dared to do it."
Chen Chong smiled and accepted her warmth. In fact, even without him, Zhang Aijia would also be a director in 19RU.
In 1979, the movie "Happy Love" was born, breaking the box office record of similar movies in Taiwan, and making a big splash at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival and the Golden Horse Awards. It not only made Hu Huizhong famous, but also doubled the value of director Tu Zhongxun. He signed a contract with Jiahe Company in 19RU. However, when preparing for the first movie "A Day in a certain month", he died in a car accident. After hearing the news, Zhang Aijia, one of the crew members, went to Zou Wenhuai to recommend himself, and then became a director and screenwriter.
Hou Hsiao-hsien said at the Academy Awards ceremony that he would have to work hard in Taiwan for at least ten years to be a director. In fact, before the New Wave, Hong Kong was the same. Before Li Hanxiang was a director, he acted in dramas, worked as an actor, wrote scripts, dubbing, artwork, and editing. At the age of P, Yonghua Film Company went bankrupt and the Hong Kong film industry was in chaos. By chance, he had to help from noble people, so he became a director. Hu Jinquan also worked as an artist, wrote scripts, and became an actor. He became a director at the age of 1988. Zhang Che even wrote film reviews and scripts. He was the first time he directed independently at the age of 43...
Film directors are one of the most boys-respecting industries in the world. Talented men are enduring such hardships, let alone women? Zhang Ai-car is young and dares to ask Zou Wenhuai to recommend himself and replace the position of a well-known director. His courage and courage are extraordinary. Her ability to motivate Zou Wenhuai and successfully become a director shows that her talent and luck are equally extraordinary.
However, if there was no sunk, Zhang Aijia's directorial debut would end with a box office and reputation. She would have been dormant for six years. It was not until she wrote, directed and acted in "Favorite", that her directorial talent was recognized - "Favorite" alone received nearly 9 million yuan in Hong Kong, and won the double Best Actress Awards for the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards. Since then, her directed films such as "Shasha Jiajia Stand Up", "Don't Go Home Today", "Girl Fishing", "Heart Movement" and other films have a very impressive box office reputation. They are unique in the Chinese film industry and have very personal characteristics.
The spring is spring. Not every audience likes to watch blockbusters, nor is it only blockbusters a good movie. A personality director is also very important and deserves support, let alone her own woman. Therefore, Chen Chong repeatedly encouraged Zhang Aijia to be a director.
After watching the sample in the printing company's preview room, Zhang Aijia asked: "What do you think?"
"If 100 points are considered full marks." Chen Chong's big sprint commented: "I'll give you sixty.
Zhang Aijia's disappointment was beyond words.
"Don't be discouraged, sixty is already very high." Chen Chong stretched out his right hand, flipped back and forth, and said, "Now, there are no more than ten directors who can make me rated more than sixty."
"It's only sixty. If I remove the emotional score, I will definitely fail." Zhang Aijia laughed at herself, and then asked, "Where's not doing it well?"
Although Chen Chong has only been a half-toned director once, he has watched enough movies. After traveling through time, he has been lingering in the film industry. His hands-on ability is not good, but his appreciation ability is definitely world-class. After considering his words, he said: "I have always believed that when a director, he can learn both soft and hard abilities. For example, how to operate a camera and how to arrange scene scheduling, all of which can be learned from textbooks or teachers. There is also a soft ability that cannot be learned, and he can only rely on personal exploration and understanding, such as lens aesthetics, artistic smell, and atmosphere adjustment. To put it bluntly, it depends on whether there are many natural artistic cells."
Zhang Aijia thought to himself when she heard this.
"I just watched the sample, and I felt that your camera has a strong aesthetic sense, beautiful scenes, clean pictures, bright sunshine, and unrestrained spring light. It creates a very good atmosphere for the male and female protagonists to meet in spring. It can make people feel pleasing to the eye and relaxed, and have the urge to yearn for their hearts. This is a rare skill, because the plot of this drama is very simple, and only two people can talk to each other in different scenes. If the atmosphere is not well created, the audience will quickly lose interest in continuing to watch." Chen Chong said erudibly: "Your soft ability, I will give you 80 points, but for the first time you are a director, you have insufficient professional knowledge and experience, and lack of hard ability. I can only give you 40 points. Two items one plus one average, and you can only get 60 points.
When Zhang Aijia heard what he said, she felt better and asked again: "I have been filming a drama for ten years and have followed many directors. I understand what the director should do. You said I am not capable of being strong, but what is the main reason for not being able to do it?"
"The ability to train actors can rely on photographers, but the performance can only rely on directors, so you lack this." Chen Chong immediately said: "Leslie Cheung's performance is a bit frivolous, Brigitte Lin's performance is too restrained and not natural enough. There is a feeling of being out of the show in several scenes."
"I feel this way, too." Zhang Aijia was distressed, and supported her chin with her hands. After thinking for a while, she said: "I worked very hard and very attentively. I spent a lot of time studying scripts and performances every day, and I could recite almost all the lines. However, he is too young, has not received professional training, and has never made many movies before. He is a little overwhelmed in his role as a mature man in his thirties. He often brings out a youthful taste in his performance."
Chen Chong nodded slightly. "Love Before Dawn" was perfunctory based on his own thinking. Before he traveled through time, although he was not yet thirty, he was not far apart. He experienced many things. The script lines he wrote naturally revealed some vicissitudes of life. Zhang Aijia keenly grasped this point, so he let Leslie Cheung grow his beard and change his appearance, forcibly elevating him from 24 to thirty years old.
Unfortunately, age can be adjusted by makeup, but its acting skills cannot be improved instantly. Leslie Cheung's acting skills did not mature until after 19RR's year. Before that, both of them were a bit immature, both of which were movies from 19RU. Therefore, in 19RU, he, who only acted in one or two movies, was even more immature than Qing Apple.
However, Chen Chong was not worried that making him famous in advance would bring side effects of boosting the seedlings and promoting growth, because Leslie Cheung is world-class, shortening his silent upstream time and shortening his endurance from eight years to three years, which is a blessing for the Chinese music and film industry.
"Leslie Cheung is very talented, has an excellent appearance, a good temperament, and works hard. If you communicate more with him, it will be no problem for me to play this role well." After Chen Chong finished speaking, he smiled and continued: "If he can discover his acting skills and when he becomes a world-class movie star in the future, you will also have the capital to brag."
"What's there to brag about? If he can become a world-class star, that's his ability. What does it have to do with me?" Zhang Aijia gave him a blank look and said, "But you are right. I really don't know how to train actors. Many times I feel it, but I can't say it, or after I say it, I feel it's wrong."
She half-shackled her hands, and said in a crazy manner, "I really wish I could play the hero and heroine alone."
Chen Chong was amused by her actions. After teasing him a few words, he asked, "What's wrong with Brigitte Lin? I saw her performance in the first few weeks, but there were problems in the last few days. She has been acting for seven or eight years, so there shouldn't be such a problem."
Zhang Aijia said concisely: "A few days ago, we met Qin Xianglin while filming.
Chen Chong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What a coincidence?"
"I heard that Qin Xianglin came to Los Angeles before the Academy Awards. Your villa has special security. Visitors are not allowed to enter without the owner's consent." Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "How can you meet a beautiful woman if you don't meet outside by chance? You have to hurry up, Qin Xianglin is much handsomer than you."
