Chapter 187 Adults want it all!
Wu Nianzu was wearing a sweater and exposed the white shirt collar inside, looking simple. He had just finished the first scene with Cheng Long, and was now looking at the camera behind the monitor.
Cheng Long was wearing a suit and a famous watch in his hand. From his appearance, he looked very elite and successful.
Zhang Baizhi walked into the camera, wondering why Cheng Long was alone: "Where is Qianniu?"
Cheng Long kept a polite smile and raised his hand gently to signal: "He is leaving."
He told me to follow the ten guidelines.
I have a good memory and I remember it all.
First, don't plan to make her gentler.
Second, don’t give her more than three drinks…”
As Cheng Long said, this is to make him a stepping stone for the true love of the male and female protagonists, and also to awaken the heroine.
What we are going to shoot here is the most touching part of the whole movie, and the "Ten Rules for Love Her" clips have also been widely circulated since then.
After the film was released, many girls regarded it as a love standard to demand their boyfriends, but you don’t first see if there are any heroines in the movies so beautiful and charming!
However, Wu Nianzu would not care so much now, as long as the audience can deeply impress the audience and attract them to enter the cinema to buy tickets.
As for all the male compatriots who suffered for this, please be blessed.
In fact, in the drama "My Savage Girlfriend", if you think about it carefully, you will find that all the scenes that touch you in the basic movie are the emotional resonance of the audience caused by the male protagonist's efforts to the female protagonist.
What the heroine needs to do is to establish a beautiful, kind and cute image so that her barbarity can be accepted by the audience.
After the release of "My Savage Girlfriend" in his previous life, most of the film's bonus was eaten by the heroine Jun Ji-hyun. Compared with the hero Cha Tae-hyun, there were too fewer ones.
But Wu Nianzu is the one who focuses on publicity and box office in this life. At that time, he will be rewarded with great contributions.
In this scene of "Ten Rules for Love Her", Wu Nianzu originally planned to invite a local actor from Wanwan to play the successful blind date, such as Jiao Enjun or Zhao Wenxuan.
But Cheng Long happened to run from Hong Kong Island to Wanwan to find him. How could such a good guest appearance candidate be wasted?
"By it! Perfect!"
Cheng Long's scenes here are very simple. Just show the mature and gentlemanly style of a successful person. The scenes are added up to one minute.
It's not difficult for Cheng Long. After all, he has been acting for decades and has been popular for so many years. His career has been very successful. He often shows this temperament when picking up girls.
Wu Nianzu applauded and said loudly with a smile: "I'll be here today, everyone will go back and rest!"
Then he walked towards Cheng Long: "Thank you, Brother Long, I'll treat you to a big meal later!"
"Hehe, forget it if you have a big meal, Azu, you are not a beauty.
You know I want to read the script!"
Cheng Long reminded.
"Haha, go back to the hotel and watch while having a big meal." Wu Nianzu pulled Cheng Long out.
——
In the hotel, Wu Nianzu was eating slowly, while Cheng Long was impatient to open the script and read it after taking a few bites.
Not only Cheng Long, but also Jiahe people came with him this time, and they were also watching Cheng Long at this time.
When Wu Nianzu proposed to work with Cheng Long and star in a film together, Jiahe immediately became interested.
With Wu Nianzu's popular traffic and Cheng Long as a superstar, Jiahe just thought about the movie and would not lose money. But we have to see what Cheng Long means.
Cheng Long did not refuse after learning it, but he still had to read the script first.
After contacting Cheng Long, they went to Wanwan to find Wu Nianzu to discuss cooperation in person.
After a while, Cheng Long probably read the script and said hesitantly:
"Azu, the plot is quite novel, but I want to make a movie that can win the award. This is still a gunfight action movie, and I guess I won't be attracted to the judges..."
Cheng Long just read the script, which is a movie in which he and Wu Nianzu have a showdown, so he still has more scenes.
He was quite satisfied with this. Wu Nianzu showed sincerity and did not want him to be in charge and step on him to take over.
However, he had told Jiahe before that it would be difficult to win an award-winning action movie in the Academy Awards if he wanted to make a shooting action movie.
Wu Nianzu swallowed the food in his mouth, put down the chopsticks and wiped his mouth, and then asked back:
"Brother Long, what kind of movie do you want to act in, like "Farewell My Concubine"?"
Cheng Long couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.
At the time of filming of "Farewell My Concubine", producer Xu Feng once invited Cheng Long to play the role of "Battle King" Duan Xiaolou.
However, when Cheng Long read the script, he was a little worried about this kind of movie with homosexual elements, and made him, a "cosmic-level straight man" suddenly become a soft actor. It was awkward to think about it.
Including Jiahe, he also directly asked him to refuse to play this role and maintain his masculine image. Unexpectedly, "Farewell My Concubine" won all the grand prizes afterwards.
Cheng Long regretted it later when he thought about it, after all, it was a good opportunity to come to his door.
However, Wu Nianzu knew that Duan Xiaolou's role was quite tortuous. After Cheng Long refused, Chen Kaige went to find his good friend Jiang Wen. After reading the script, Jiang Wen praised the script very much.
Chen Kaige thought that the matter was decided, but Jiang Wen also refused to appear.
Because Jiang Wen thought that it was not difficult to play the overlord, and he didn't want to play the role without difficulty, then Chen Kaige asked him which role he thought was difficult. Jiang Wen said that if he could play Yu Ji well, he was a master.
So Jiang Wen challenged Cheng Dieyi's makeup. As expected, the general producer Xu Feng did not dare to take a second look after Jiang Wen's Cheng Dieyi.
Later, Director Chen thought about it and finally decided to find his classmate, Zhang Fengyi, to play the role of Duan Xiaolou. Then Zhang Guorong's Cheng Dieyi came.
Retracting his thoughts, Wu Nianzu continued to say to Cheng Long:
"Who said that gunfight action movies cannot win awards? Brother Long, have you forgotten how many awards did "The True Heroes" win back then?"
"The True Heroes" not only sold well at the box office, but also swept various awards. Wu Baige won the Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards, and Dillon won the Best Actor Award; he won the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Academy Awards, and Fa Ge won the Best Actor Award.
"But that was 1986. "The True Color of Heroes" created this type of film to win the favor of awards." Cheng Long immediately defended.
Wu Nianzu shook his finger gently: "Brother Long, the key is not the subject matter, but your character and performance."
After hearing Wu Nianzu talk about his character, the representatives from Jiahe over there also spoke:
"Wu Sheng, He Sheng set a rule for Brother Long back then: one cannot defeat, two cannot cry, three cannot die.
And the protagonist is Chen Jiaju, who is the sequel to the "Police Story" series?
Change Chen Jiaju to this, Brother Long, look..."
After saying that, he also looked at Cheng Long. To put it bluntly, Chen Jiaju wanted Cheng Long to act, and he had the greatest say.
Wu Nianzu looked at the two people opposite and smiled and said, "Then I will talk about your two of you together."
"Brother Long, if you want to win the Golden Horse Awards, do you know what role the judges of the organizing committee want to see the most?
It is a subversive role, a performance and movie that reflects social significance and has connotation.
Everyone knows that Cheng Long cannot be defeated, cannot cry, and cannot die. Your previous role is too routine.
Then I will make you fail when I come up, make you kneel down and beg for mercy, let your teammates die, and let you, the super policeman, become a decadent person who drowns your sorrows by drinking.
Is this subversive enough?
Only in this way can your character be more three-dimensional and your emotions be richer and fuller. Only in the process of the protagonist regaining himself in the film, can there be enough room for you to display your acting skills."
After hearing this, Cheng Long nodded, thinking that what Wu Nianzu said was quite reasonable. This is a bit similar to the setting of the down-and-out club boss Di Long in "The True Color of Heroes".
Then he asked again: "How do you say the social meaning and connotation?"
Wu Nianzu did not answer directly and asked back: "Which year did the "Police Story" first come out?"
"1985." Jiahe's representative answered without hesitation.
"From the first part of "Police Story" to the fourth part of 1996, this decade was the best era for Hong Kong movies and the most prosperous era for Hong Kong.
In this era, the protagonist Chen Jiaju showed optimism, cheerfulness, humor and courage, and was not intimidated by any difficulties. He was able to overcome difficulties and succeed in the end, which was exactly in line with the psychology of all Hong Kong audiences at that time. However, this typical rash character would not be favored by the Academy Awards.
However, what cannot be denied by the Academy Awards is that Chen Ka-kui is a classic image representing Hong Kong Island and also reflects the spirit of Hong Kong Island.
But what about now?
Now Hong Kong Island is swept by a financial crisis, and all levels have been hit. The economy is in a very sluggish state, and even the film industry is showing signs of sluggishness. Then the image of our protagonist will change accordingly.
At the beginning, Chen Jiaju was drunk. This decadent image represents the Hong Kong citizens who were defeated by the financial crisis at this time, and it is a metaphor for decadent Hong Kong movies.
The process of Chen Jiaju regaining himself and completing redemption throughout the entire film is a process that represents the Hong Kong people overcoming difficulties and regaining their former glory.
Do you still think this movie is a simple gunfight action movie?
Isn’t it social significance to use the classic image of Chen Jiaju to reflect the changes in Hong Kong society and awaken the self-confidence of Hong Kong people?
Do you think the judges at the Academy Awards can still deny the meaning of this "New Police Story"?"
Cheng Long was shocked when he heard this and flipped the script back and forth. He didn't expect that the "New Police Story" also expressed this meaning!
When Wu Nianzu saw Cheng Long's reaction, he knew that he was already moved. He continued to activate his three-inch tongue and said:
To be continued...
