The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 394 Interview (addition: 1330)

The warm applause lasted for more than ten minutes. The audience continued to applaud, while Chen Shuo and others kept bowing in return.

Seeing that so many people really like it, they feel an endless sense of pride and accomplishment in their hearts.

After the applause ended, the audience was divided into two parts. Some media reporters followed Chen Shuo and others to find an open space outside to conduct interviews.

The other part of the filmmakers found a room with Zhang Weiping, Jiang Zhiqiang and others, and began to discuss the issue of agency distribution rights.

Needless to say Zhang Weiping, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei followed Zhang Yimou out of the Bazin Hall and found a suitable place for interviews.

Zhang Yimou sat in the middle, Liu Yifei and Zhang Ziyi sat on both sides of him, and Chen Shuo and Liu Dehua sat on the outermost periphery.

Before the five of them could sit down, the flashes were continuously turned on, and the shooting continued for several minutes after they sat down.

Chen Shuo's eyes were almost blurred.

It wasn't until everyone's faces became stiff that the next interview process began.

A reporter from the movie channel took the lead to ask a question: "Excuse me, Director Zhang, "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" are both movies based on martial arts. What do you think is the difference between them?"

This problem is unavoidable. Zhang Yimou has only two commercial films, both of which are martial arts films, so it is inevitable that they will be used for comparison.

He already had an answer to this, and said calmly: "Both films are about love, but "Hero" is metaphysical, about the feelings of family and country.

But "House of Flying Daggers" is superficial, so it shows the love and hatred between ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. "

The reporters and media who came to interview, whether they can speak Chinese or not, can basically understand, or are equipped with translators.

"Speaking of Flying Daggers, the first thing everyone thinks of is a large-scale war scene, but compared to the overwhelming epic war scenes in "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers" seems to be much inferior, I don't know Why did Director Zhang choose such a name?"

"Thousands of people are strategizing and commanding a determined battle, which can be called an ambush from ten sides. But at the same time, the emotional ambush layered on top of each other, true and false, may not be a more dangerous war.

"House of Flying Daggers" is not an ambush in the nature of war, but an emotional entanglement. It is an emotional ambush that is true or false. Everyone has already seen the movie, and they must be able to understand the meaning of the movie title. .

The reason why I chose this name was that when I was composing, I asked someone to play the piece "House of Flying Daggers" for Mr. Mei Linmao, and I suddenly realized this truth, and felt that this name was very suitable. "

Another reporter raised his hand and asked, "I want to ask Director Zhang, shouldn't blind people be restricted in their movements?
Why in your video, this lady acts like an ordinary person with her eyes closed? Is this really not misleading the audience? "

After hearing this, Zhang Yimou said excitedly: "That's a very good question, so I have to introduce Miss Liu Yifei who is next to me.

At the beginning, I hoped that she could play the role of a "blind person with piercing eyes". In my vision, she needs to imitate her behavior like a blind person, but her eyes are brighter than normal people.

However, she gave me an unexpected surprise. When she was blindfolded to experience the life of a blind person, she gradually got used to that state, and in the end she turned out to be the same as ordinary people with her eyes closed.

In fact, I hesitated at the beginning, whether I should do this, but as you can see, in the end I was faithfully presented in the movie. "

"Impossible!" Most of the reporters were in an uproar after hearing this, and they all retorted: "This is impossible, eyes are the most important organ for human beings to receive external information.

The living habits of people without eyes will be greatly affected, and it is absolutely impossible to be so relaxed. "

"No matter how much I talk about, let everyone witness it with their own eyes." Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "How about letting Ms. Liu Yifei perform for everyone?"

"How to act?"

"Everyone, can a few volunteers come over, each choose a place to stand, and then Ms. Liu will deliver tomorrow's premiere tickets to everyone, how about it?"

Before that, everyone had already thought that there would be many people who would question this matter, and had already thought of more than a dozen ways to deal with it.

The behavior of giving tickets like this is just one of them.

At this moment, everyone raised their hands enthusiastically. The host responsible for maintaining the order of the interview selected more than a dozen reporters to step forward, while others picked up cameras and video recorders to record this moment.

Sixteen reporters were randomly distributed in the field. Liu Yifei got up and took more than ten movie tickets. With her eyes closed, she felt everyone's existence and freely handed the tickets to everyone.

There was no hesitation in her actions, let alone the slightest mistake.

Even if someone deliberately stretched out her hand to the side, she could still change positions with the other person.

Seeing this scene, everyone was still incredulous, thinking that she secretly opened their eyes.

However, the person opposite her could guarantee that she closed her eyes tightly without leaving a single gap.

Some people still did not give up and proposed to cover her eyes with a cloth, but found that it was still the case, which made everyone convinced and sighed that the world is so big and full of wonders.

Most of the following questions revolved around Liu Yifei.

When I learned that she was only 17 years old, I was amazed.

"Miss Liu, how do you feel about participating in Director Zhang's film for the first time?"

Liu Yifei thought for a while, and said: "There are quite a few, the most direct feeling is that my acting skills have improved qualitatively, and Director Zhang is really good at training actors.

Chen Shuo said before that a large part of my performance is obtained by relying on talent. Every role I played before has a great fit with myself, which can be said to be half-true.

But it is different in this work. The little girl in the film is not very similar to me. It can be said that it has reshaped a "me".

I wonder if everyone has any impression of this character? "

The reporter nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I can clearly remember every scene of you in the film."

Liu Yifei said happily after hearing this: "That's good, it seems that my performance is not bad, and I have lived up to Director Zhang's guidance."

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "If you want to say that the most impressive thing about you may be the picture of you dancing.

But what I want to say is that the deepest impression you left on me was the smile of the little girl when she passed away in the arms of the wind in the snow.

That made me feel that there is nothing wrong with the love view I want to express in this film. "

Some people couldn't help but agree, but some people expressed their doubts because of this.

"Excuse me, Director Zhang, don't you think the relationship between Sui Feng and the younger sister develops too fast in the play?
If I remember correctly, it was only three short days from their acquaintance to their death.

In three days, is it really possible to have such a strong feeling of sharing life and death?
Don't you think it's unreasonable? "

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said seriously: "I don't think the speed of their love development is abnormal.

Love is sometimes very rational, but there is no way to control it.

Sometimes, two people may live together for 30 years, but they can't match the heart-piercing feeling brought by three days of relationship. "

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei, and said, "About this question, you might as well ask our protagonists, what do they think?"

The reporter turned the question to the two and asked, "Do you agree with Director Zhang's statement?"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Shuo and said, "I haven't experienced it, so I don't know if it's right, but I feel that there are always two destined lovers in this world.

And when they meet together, they must be able to produce such a flame-like love. "

Chen Shuo went on to say: "There is an old saying in China, which is called 'the white head is like new, and the overturned head is like old'.

It means that although some people have known each other for a long time, they are like new acquaintances.Some people have just met, but it seems like they have known each other for a long time, and they hit it off right away.

That's the feeling.

Whether this kind of relationship can last, no one can guarantee, but in a crisis-ridden environment, it is possible to be short and bright like in the play.

Of course, if you talk about the relationship in the play, you can't just talk about the relationship between Suifeng and Xiaomei.

What Liu Butou and the eldest sister, Liu Butou and the second sister present are also a kind of emotion.

Perhaps, if Suifeng and the younger sister hadn't died, as time went by, they would have gone on the same path as Liu Butou and the eldest sister, from love to hatred, and finally facing each other in life and death.

But now there is no if, there is only their pure and blazing fire of love.

The three relationships of the five characters actually show the several possibilities of love.

Love is a very grand topic, not one or two people, nor one or two sentences can represent a generalization.

I think Director Zhang just showed the color of love he saw in the film through us. "

Everyone agrees with what he said.

Indeed, love is not only one color, everyone can see their own color from it.

Maybe it's green?
Zhang Yimou went on to say: "Actually, we are not afraid of the film being questioned, all the controversy about this work is affirmation of us.

In this type of movie, it is necessary to create a climax every 3 minutes, and the last thing that may be remembered is only one of the clips.

But these 3 minutes are something the audience has not seen, and it is enough. "

As soon as these words came out, the question immediately rose to a higher level.

How to define a good work?

Let the film critics praise?Make the audience love it?Or let the world remember?

If it's just for people to remember, then this film undoubtedly did it.

And it's not remembered as a joke, but it has amazing points.

Such as that section of water sleeves beat drums.

This 4-minute dance will definitely be remembered by people.

We talked about this topic for a while, and also interviewed and praised Chen Shuo.

The reporter pointed the question to Andy Lau again.

"We all know that Mr. Andy Lau has become the new Best Actor of the Golden Horse. When you are filming Director Zhang's scenes, do you feel that you are at your fingertips?"

"Thank you." Liu Dehua put his hands together first, expressing his gratitude to the reporter for mentioning his Golden Horse Best Actor, and then said seriously: "On the contrary, I feel that I have tried my best to perform, but I always feel that I still haven't reached Director Zhang's level. Require."

"Director Zhang, is that so?"

"Andy Lau is being humble. In fact, he has performed very well. When we first approached him, it was because we thought he could perform this role well."

"Thank you Director Zhang for your recognition and tolerance."

Another person asked: "Where does Mr. Liu think his shortcomings are?"

Andy Lau said earnestly: "The portrayal after the final conspiracy was exposed is a bit insufficient, I always feel that my acting is not so good."

He really felt that his acting in the final stage was not good enough, and he didn't have the feeling of being ambitious and giving up everything for desire.

"Indeed, when we were watching it, we always felt that Catcher Liu should show it more. Does that mean that your performance in that scene was unqualified?"

Hearing this, Andy Lau couldn't help changing his eyes. This question can already be said to be full of malice.

If he admits that his performance at the time was unqualified, wouldn't that mean that his Golden Horse Best Actor is a bit of a waste of fame?
If he denies it, he has already said it just now, and he feels insufficient, isn't that slapping himself in the face?
Looking at the reporter, it was from Xiangjiang, so it was no wonder.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, Chen Shuo suddenly said: "Actually, I can't say that, the reason why Brother Hua feels that he is not good enough is because he is too kind, and when he plays such a role, he will feel unbearable.

As Director Zhang said, Brother Hua was invited to play because he is suitable for this role.

It can be seen from the snow battle that Liu Butou is not a heartless person, he will leave in a daze because of the death of his daughter.

Therefore, at the last moment, although he longed for power, it did not mean that he had no feeling for the eldest sister and Feidaomen.

It is precisely because he has not reached the point of ruthless awareness that he will be killed by Suifeng in the end.

In other words, in fact, Hua Ge's interpretation is the correct interpretation of this character, and there is no problem at all. "

Zhang Yimou also continued: "Yes, our film has been talking about love from the beginning to the end.

All people are living, sentient beings, they live for love and die for love.

I don't know where it started, and it goes deep. The living can die, and the dead can live.

Those who are born but cannot die, and those who are dead but cannot be resurrected are not the ultimate in love.

It is precisely because of the relationship that there is the heroism of Suifeng and the younger sister, the life-and-death entanglement between Liu Butou and the eldest sister, and this drama. "

A movie is a wonderful thing. It is not created, but a flash of inspiration from many creators, and then they discovered something that already existed.

Just like "House of Flying Daggers", when Zhang Yimou and others created it, they had nothing to do with this story.

But with the changes and polishing over and over again, a preliminary prototype was formed.

After going through all kinds of hardships, all kinds of compromises and flashes of inspiration, today's version of "House of Flying Daggers" was created.

However, a set version of a work also has different appearances in the eyes of different people.

This is the charm of the work.
