Chapter 459: Interview with Wang Jiawei, let's talk after the script is written

Many fans of Chinese-language movies know one thing, that is, there is a great Hong Kong director who is very speechless, because it is said that he never uses a script when filming, and often shoots wherever he thinks of it. .

Speaking of the script, the script is the foundation of a play. Even many people outside the circle know that the script is very important. Before this great director himself became a director, he also wrote many movie scripts. Why did he not use the script when it was his turn to film? What?

To be honest, his movie style really doesn’t have many audiences. Although he himself won the award and got soft hands, after acting in his movie, the actor’s acting skills have also improved a lot, and he is very likely to win the award, but to be honest, filming His films are a kind of torture, as many filmmakers say.

It stands to reason that the kind of person who can only say a word when making movies must be very bad at words, otherwise, watching his movies would not be a kind of torture.

However, in the coffee shop of a certain hotel in Shanghai, Brother Xiaosa really saw this great director with a shallow crew cut and big sunglasses, nicknamed "Sunglass King", and after talking to him for a few words, he It quickly changed the impression of this great director with mixed reputation.

"Director Wang, I always thought you should be a taciturn person!"

Brother Xiao Sa smiled and stirred the coffee, but he didn't drink it right away, because to be honest, he really didn't like coffee very much, and he always felt a strange taste when he drank it.

"really!"

Wang Jiawei laughed, nodded slightly and said: "You are not the first to say that, because everyone who saw me for the first time said that I should be a weird person who is not good at words, as if suffering from autism .”

"Hehe, I didn't say that to you!"

Brother Xiaosha shook his head repeatedly, and then explained: "It's mainly because your film language is too esoteric! Anyway, let me tell you the truth, except for "Carmen in Mong Kok", I have almost never understood your other works!"

"Hahaha……"

Wang Jiawei suddenly laughed, very happily, as if he had encountered something that made people laugh.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the hotel's coffee shop during this time period, otherwise, someone would definitely scold: Are you crazy?Smile!

Now although no one opened their mouths to curse, but the embarrassed brother Xiaosha cursed in his heart, what a joke!Brother, I’m just telling the truth, it’s pretty good if I didn’t scold you for what rubbish you filmed, but you can still laugh now?

I don't know if there is a telepathy, anyway, just when Brother Xiaosa was yelling in displeasure, the King of Sunglasses slowly stopped laughing, and he wiped his flat head backwards as if no one else was there, and then He raised his eyes and said with certainty: "You are very good, really, because you are not hypocritical!"

I'm going to go, right?

Brother Xiaosha suddenly opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but Wang Jiawei sighed and said: "This circle is very hypocritical. When other artists see me, they always say how much they like my movie, "Evil, West, Poison" Also, "Days of Being Wild" is so well shot and wonderful, but in fact I know very well that they either didn't watch it, or they cursed after watching it."

Fuck, you know you're going to be scolded, so what else are you filming?Can't it be better?Isn't this a waste of money and energy while asking for trouble?

Brother Xiao Sa couldn't figure it out, and almost wanted to ask the question in his heart directly, after all, he was tortured by "Evil in the East and West in the West", so he really scolded while watching it!I didn't understand what story was filmed at all, it was just a piece of shit.

"I know, you must want to say why it is so unpredictable, right?"

Without waiting for someone to answer, Wong Kar Wai gave an explanation himself: "Movies are actually my thinking about life and society, because I think that every character in a movie has his own past, so I made the Movies are never superficial, and often every shot has an underlying meaning."

He paused, regardless of whether someone understood or not, and then continued: "I believe many people are tired of watching simple fighting and killing or love and love, and I don't want to follow the trend and film those that are hardly too much." Works with many connotations, so when I make films, I will never forget one thing, that is, there must be style and connotation, and I, the director, have my own life thinking in it."

I made a fuss, brother really wanted to shake his head and say bluntly: Sorry, I didn't understand!

Brother Xiao Sa's head was a little dizzy, because after listening to Wang Jiawei's own explanation, he only had one thought in his mind: don't you f-cking know that a good movie can't be mixed with too many private goods?Don't you know that there are 1 kinds of "Hamlet" in the eyes of [-] people?

Fuck!As a director, you are just a storyteller. You can shoot whatever the story is. As for how much the audience feels and gains after watching it, it depends on the audience’s own starting point. How about you force yourself to put your feelings in the movie? ?

That's right, although it is true that someone has never been to a film school, has never been a part-timer, and does not have much professional knowledge and accumulation of film and television art, but at least he knows one thing, the real hit movies are directed by the director. The story is told in the language of the lens, so that it is impartial, so that the audience can enjoy it, and at the same time there are some other gains.

However, is watching Wang Jiawei's movie any fun?absolutely not!

Because the movies made by this guy have always had a very bad impression in the minds of ordinary audiences, that is, they are pretending to be unpredictable.

In other words, he has gathered a large group of big-name stars, but the things he shoots can't even remember the plot and lines.The audience only knows that there are a bunch of big names who say some lines that they think are inscrutable from the beginning to the end. This is Wang Jiawei's film.

Thinking of these things in a blink of an eye, Brother Xiaosa nodded speechlessly and said: "Director Wang, your explanation finally made me sure of one thing, that is, you don't take the usual path!"

"That's a good adjective!"

Wang Jiawei clapped his hands, "I really don't take the usual path. There are many great directors of commercial films in the Chinese film industry, Wang Jing, Du Qifeng, Liu Weiqiang...all of them are very good, and there are too many, not bad for me, but literary directors But Wang Jiawei is the only one in the film, hehe, Xiao Sazi, do you think if you cooperate with me, would you be willing?"

What?Cooperate with you?

Hearing Wang Jiawei's invitation so straightforwardly in person, Brother Xiaosa was really a little terrified.

Yes, instead of being excited and excited, I feel scared and nervous.

Who in the Chinese entertainment industry doesn't know about Sunglass King's style?

The script is often changed when filming, and it’s okay to be misrepresented as never using the script. The most frightening thing is that he takes too long to make movies. People in the world say: Master Wang, what he said is that his patience is deeper than that of Buddhist masters .

"46" has been filmed for more than 5 years. This is the time spent on Chinese-language movies. As a result, there have been rumors in the world that he wants to shoot a movie that truly reflects Bruce Lee's master Ip Man's era. But this topic came out a few years ago, and even now, he still hasn't done it.

Even Liu Dehua once made it clear that he really wanted to cooperate with Wang Jiawei, but he dared not accept Wang Jiawei's works because he couldn't afford it.

Let me ask, for such a procrastinating master director, apart from his queen actor Liang Chaowei, how many first-line actors dare to take the film casually?Aren't you afraid of being cheated to death?

More importantly, a certain person has never been interested in literary and artistic movies, even the so-called "must-see" famous domestic and foreign literary and artistic movies, he has no interest at all. For rice flower movies, I like the type of speed + explosion + special effects + fighting.

Therefore, in this case, he really didn't feel honored at all, especially the fact that Wang Jiawei's movies have always been under the banner of a gathering of stars, but in the end it turned into everyone playing soy sauce together, only Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung. Down.

Think about Liu Dehua in "Days of Being Wild", the filming was so serious and exhausting, how many shots were given to him in the end?After paying so much, the result was edited into a pure soy sauce party, how hard is it?

Having said so much, Brother Xiaosa actually wants to say a word: Director Wang, thank you for your attention, but I am extremely impatient, and I really don’t like so-called literary films, I don’t even want to watch them, let alone act them.

Yes, he really wanted to say that, and it doesn't matter whether he gives face or not. After all, it's not like he hasn't rejected Wang Jiawei these years. For example, Zhang Manyu has already publicly stated after filming "46" that she really can't stand Lao Wang's procrastination, and she won't be able to cooperate in the future. Also, there is also Zhang Xueyou, the "God of Songs". After filming "Days of Being Wild", he couldn't bear Lao Wang's style.

However, even though he was wearing sunglasses, Wang Jiawei's eyes were not bad. He seemed to have seen someone's thoughts, and added in advance: "Hehe, you don't need to express your opinion in a hurry, because I am not ready yet. The script is still under national inspection. This time I want to shoot the stories of martial arts masters in the Republic of China, such as Ye Wen, Li Shuwen, Sun Lutang, Li Jinglin, etc. This is my plan 10 years ago. This time A different kung fu movie will definitely be made!"

I paid for it, and you don't even have a script, so why come to me?

Brother Xiaosa almost laughed angrily, but when he heard that it was a Kung Fu movie, he immediately asked curiously: "Then, Director Wang, when will you start shooting this movie? If I play in it, how many roles will I have?"

In the end, Wang Jiawei said frankly: "I really can't say this in advance, because I'm mainly still in the conception."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to see that someone was very upset, so he added: "But I can guarantee that as long as you agree to act at that time, your role will be at least 10 minutes, which is already the treatment of the first male supporting role .”

Although I am somewhat satisfied with the guarantee of the first supporting actor, Brother Xiaosa is not easy to deceive. After all, Liu Dehua can change from the leading actor in "Days of Being Wild" to a supporting role in soy sauce, how dare he give a guarantee casually? ?

Therefore, facing Wang Jiawei's gaze, he remained unmoved and said, "Director Wang, I think I should read the script first, and if it takes too long, I can't help it!"

Wang Jiawei was obviously disappointed, his smile faltered, and he nodded and said, "That's for sure!" (To be continued.)
