Chapter 258 Love at First Sight

Yang Fan's director in Xiangjiang, and even the film and television industry, is considered an alternative.

He was born in Echeng in the Mainland in 47, and moved to Xiangjiang with his family in 50. Like many mainlanders who moved to Xiangjiang, he inherited the spirit of daring to venture and fight from his parents.

Not to mention the 70s and [-]s when he started to struggle, even now, there are very few people who dare to start a business, not to mention the extremely risky film and television industry.

But Yang Fan dared to travel to the United States in his twenties and worked as a special actor in Hollywood for a few years. After returning to Xiangjiang, he founded Peanut Yingshe Co., Ltd.

It was an extremely small company at the time, and it hadn’t made a film for ten years after its establishment. It was only doing some work such as writing, editing and directing for external TV stations. And other literary films.

The box office of Hong Kong's local literary and artistic films is worrying, not to mention the income of foreign ones.

But Yang Fan not only persevered, but also attracted foreign investment in the early 80s, and wrote and directed his first movie "Girl's Diary".

This film was nominated for Best Original Song, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography at the Hong Kong Film Awards in the second year. Although it only won one Best Original Song Award in the end, it was considered an instant hit.

Society is like this, there is a huge difference between being famous and not being famous. With this stepping stone, it will be much easier to attract investment.

So everyone likes to put gold on their faces outside. If there is 1, say 2, if there is 2, say 4, and if there is 4, you dare to say 10.Many business people, in order to make customers believe in their own strength, or grit their teeth to buy, or rent or borrow luxury cars to support their appearance, this is the mentality. Of course, customers still accept this.

After that, Yang Fan successively made literary films such as "Shanghai Flower", "The Queen of the Demon Street", and "Beautiful Boy's Love", which were successively shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, Hong Kong Film Awards, and Golden Dragon Film Festival, and gained international fame. .

The present "A Dream in a Garden" was when Yang Fan participated in the Cannes Film Festival. He saw Mr. Zhang Jiqing, a drama master who came to Europe to promote Kunqu Opera, perform "A Dream in a Garden" on stage, and he was immediately fascinated.

After reading it, Yang Fan came up with the idea of ​​making such a movie. When he returned to Xiangjiang, Yang Fan found the novel "A Dream in the Garden" written by Mr. Bai Xianyong. After reading it several times, inspiration gradually came to his mind. , so I started to prepare.

Yang Fan set the story in Gusu in the 30s. The protagonist is Cuihua, a singing girl from Deyuelou, played by Rie Miyazawa. With her beauty and singing Kunqu opera, she has fascinated countless men, but in the end she married into Rongfu and became a Concubine.

Rong Lan, played by Wang Zuxian, is a relative of Rongfu, and also likes opera. Cuihua's life in Rongfu is not easy, so she sings with Ronglan from time to time to pass the time, one sings Liu Mengmei, and the other sings Du Liniang. feelings.

In the school where Ronglan works, the arrival of the new teacher Xing Zhigang played by Ning Yuan brought unexpected fluctuations in the lives of Cuihua and Ronglan.Rong Lan fell in love with Xing Zhigang at first sight, but the relationship between the two ended in Xing Zhigang's departure, leaving only two helpless women, Cuihua and Ronglan.

A touch of elegance, a touch of sadness, a gloomy atmosphere and subversive emotions constitute the main line of this film.

After that, because he liked Kunqu Opera, Yang Fan made a half-story, half-documentary "The Love of the Phoenix Crown" two years later with Zhang Jiqing and Wang Fang as the main actors.

Yang Fan's movies have a major feature, all of them are written and directed by himself, and even play important roles in them, and many of them are taboo movies with a strong personal style, such as "Pretty Boy"'s Rising to the Difficulties, "Garden Dreams" Girls are fragrant, and there is a future. He is so courageous that he dares to ask Zhang Xiaohui to be the heroine in a restricted movie. It's not about the subject matter, but that this woman is very unreliable.

Although Yang Fan can get investment every time, the amount is not large. After all, most literary and artistic films are losing money and making money. If his films are not beautiful, fresh, have a certain artistic level, and can win awards, no one is willing to invest.

This time, Yang Fan also got more than 400 million investment.

Although Wang Zuxian lowered her social status and acted as a friend, her salary in the 90s was only a few million.

In such a comparison, Ning Yuan would definitely suffer [-] points of damage. After all, when he was filming "The Mountain" before, his film salary was only [-], which means it was dozens of times his salary.

In addition to Wang Zuxian, Miyazawa Rie, who ranks first, is also paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, and this is because Yang Fan has used many connections with the Neon Kingdom - he also had films that won awards at the Edo Film Festival before. Also served as a unit judge.

That's why, Yang Fan didn't look for a big-name actor in this movie, because he couldn't afford it, and even then he had to spend a lot of money.

Even because of the tight budget, not only are there fewer characters, but also fewer scenes.

The main scenes are two places, one is the Humble Administrator's Garden, and the other is the Lize Girls' School in Tongli Ancient Town, and Ning Yuan's role is mainly here, after all, his identity is the new male teacher.

Later, Yang Fan secretly hinted that he hoped that Ning Yuan would also serve as the translator, and that he would also have the opportunity to get along with such a beautiful woman from the neon country like Miyazawa Rie.

Ning Yuan pushed again and again, and then "reluctantly" accepted, and said that I was not because of this, but to save money for the crew, for Director Yang's sake.

Looking at Ning Yuan's sincere appearance, Yang Fan thought to himself, do I not understand the realm of young people now?Or from the inland, they all like to talk about dedication?

But then, seeing Ning Yuan chatting with Miyazawa Rie in full swing every day, Yang Fan touched his nose again, are you kidding me?

Not only Miyazawa Rie, but also Ning Yuan gradually became acquainted with Wang Zuxian a lot. Although she is a slow-warming type, Ning Yuan has no thoughts about her, so he is very calm when interacting with her, which makes Wang Zuxian feel comfortable.

Therefore, when shooting, you can often see Ning Yuan surrounded by two beauties, and from time to time, you can hear Miyazawa Rie's melodious voice laughing like a silver bell, and you can also see Wang Zuxian's gentle and moving head hanging Smile.

In the film, Wang Zuxian has short hair. Compared with her previous fairy-like long hair, her face is still the same, but it is obviously more down-to-earth, but her red phoenix eyes are a little weaker, so I don't dare to talk to her Look at each other for a long time.

Ning Yuan also got used to it for two days and became familiar with her before he started filming the scene where Xing Zhigang and Rong Lan met for the first time.

When you fall in love at first sight, what you see is the appearance, one is handsome and unrestrained, the other is gentle and charming, just like going back to Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang hundreds of years ago.

　thanks for your support.
