The bard joins the entertainment industry

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

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

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 for interviews.

Another group of film producers gathered with Zhang Weiping, Jiang Zhiqiang and others to find a room 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 sits in the middle, with Liu Yifei and Zhang Ziyi on either side of him, while Chen Shuo and Liu Dehua sit on the outermost edge.

Before the five people could sit down, flashes kept coming on, and the shooting continued for several minutes after they sat down.

The shaking made Chen Shuo's eyes almost blurry.

It wasn't until everyone's faces were almost frozen that the rest of the interview process began.

A reporter from the Movie Channel took the lead in asking a question: "Director Zhang, "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" are both movies with martial arts as the background. What do you think is the difference between them?"

This problem is inevitable. Zhang Yimou has only made two commercial films in total, and they are both martial arts films. Naturally, comparisons are inevitable.

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

"House of Flying Daggers" is physical, so it shows the love and hatred between ordinary people in the world. "

Regardless of whether they speak Chinese or not, reporters and media who come to interview can basically understand it, or are equipped with translators.

"When it comes to House of Flying Daggers, the first thing that comes to mind is the large-scale war scenes. But compared to the overwhelming epic war scenes in "Heroes", "House of Flying Daggers" seems to be much inferior. I don't know. Why did Director Zhang choose such a name?"

"A war involving thousands of people strategizing and commanding can be called an ambush from all sides. But similarly, the layers of emotional ambush, true and false, may not be a more dangerous war.

"House of Flying Daggers" is not a war-like ambush, but an emotional entanglement. It is a true and false emotional ambush. Everyone has already watched the movie, and I think everyone can understand the meaning of the movie's title. .

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

Another reporter raised his hand and asked: "I would like to ask Director Zhang, shouldn't blind people have some restrictions on their movements?

Why in your video does this young lady act like a normal person with her eyes closed? Isn’t this really misleading to the audience? "

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

At the beginning, I hoped that she could play the role of a "blind person with bright eyes." In my imagination, she needed to imitate her behavior like a blind person, but her eyes would be brighter than that of a normal person.

However, she gave me an unexpected surprise. When she was blindfolded and experiencing the life of a blind person, she gradually got used to that state. In the end, she actually acted like a normal person with her eyes closed.

In fact, I hesitated at the beginning whether to do this, but as you can see, in the end I still presented it truthfully in the movie. "

"Impossible!" Most reporters were in an uproar after hearing this and retorted: "This is impossible. Eyes are the most important organ for humans 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 you say, why not let everyone witness it with your own eyes." Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "How about letting Miss Liu Yifei perform for everyone?"

"How to perform?"

"How about you come over with a few volunteers, each choose a place to stand, and then Ms. Liu will deliver tomorrow's premiere tickets to you?"

Before this, everyone had long thought that many people would question this matter, and had already thought of dozens of ways to deal with it.

The behavior of giving away 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 ten reporters to come forward. Others picked up cameras and video recorders to record this moment.

Sixteen reporters were randomly distributed in the field. Liu Yifei stood up and held more than a dozen movie tickets. With her eyes closed, she felt everyone's presence and handed the tickets to everyone's hands freely.

There was no hesitation in her movements, nor any mistakes.

Even if someone reaches out to the side intentionally, she can follow the other person's position.

Seeing this scene, everyone still felt incredible, thinking that she secretly opened her eyes.

However, the person opposite her could guarantee that she closed her eyes tightly, leaving absolutely no gaps.

Some people still refused to give up and suggested covering her eyes with cloth, but found that it was still the same. This made everyone convinced and sighed that the world is full of wonders.

Most of the subsequent questions revolved around Liu Yifei.

When he learned that she was only seventeen years old now, he was amazed.

"Ms. 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 has said before that a large part of my performance is obtained by relying on talent. Every role I played before was very consistent with myself. It can be said that I acted half of my character.

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

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

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

After hearing this, Liu Yifei said happily: "That's good. It seems that my performance is pretty good and I have lived up to Director Zhang's guidance."

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "The thing that impressed everyone most about you may be the scene when you dance.

But what I want to say is that the most profound impression you left on me was the smile on my little sister's face when she passed away in Sui Feng's arms in the snow.

That made me feel that the concept of love that I wanted to express in this film was correct. "

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

"Excuse me, Director Zhang, don't you think the relationship between Sui Feng and Xiao Mei develops too fast in the play?

If I remember correctly, it was only three days from the time they met to their death.

Is it really possible to have such a strong feeling of life and death in three days?

Don't you think it's unreasonable? "

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said seriously: "I don't think the speed at which their love develops is unnatural.

Love is sometimes very rational, but it is also uncontrollable.

Sometimes, two people may have lived together for thirty years, but they still can't match the heartbreaking feeling brought by three days of love. "

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

The reporter turned the question to the two men 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 will always be two destined lovers in the world.

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

Chen Shuo continued: "We have an old saying in China, which is called 'the white head is as new, the top is as old as ever'.

It means that although some people have known each other for a long time, it is like meeting them for the first time. Some people have just met, but it seems like they have known each other for a long time, and they feel like old friends at first sight.

It's this feeling I'm talking about.

No one can guarantee whether this kind of relationship can last, but in a crisis-ridden environment, it may be as short-lived and bright as in the play.

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

What Liu Captou and his eldest sister and Liu Captou and his second sister present are also a kind of emotion.

Perhaps, if Sui Feng and the younger sister had not died, as time went by, they would have followed the same path as Liu Baotou and the elder sister, where love turned to hatred, and in the end they faced each other life and death.

But now there are no ifs, there is just the fire of their pure and blazing love.

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

Love is a very grand topic. It cannot be summarized by one or two people or one or two sentences.

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

Everyone is quite accepting of what he said.

Indeed, love is not just one color, everyone can see their own color in it.

Maybe it will be green?

Zhang Yimou continued: "Actually, we are not afraid of people questioning the film. All the controversies about this work are affirmations for us.

This type of movie has to create a three-minute climax, and the last thing that may be remembered is just one of the clips.

But these 3 minutes are something the audience has never seen before, and that’s enough. "

As soon as these words came out, this issue immediately rose to a higher level.

How to define a good work?

To be praised by film critics? To make the audience love it? Or let the world remember it?

If it's just to make people remember, then this film has definitely done it.

And it's not just remembered as a joke, but it has something amazing about it.

Such as that section of water sleeve drumming.

This four-minute dance will surely be remembered.

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

The reporter pointed the question at Andy Lau.

"We all know that Mr. Andy Lau has now become the new Golden Horse Best Actor. Did you feel comfortable filming Director Zhang's scenes?"

"Thank you." Liu Dehua first clasped his hands and expressed his gratitude to the reporter for mentioning his Golden Horse Award winner, 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 the level of Director Zhang." Require."

"Director Zhang, is that true?"

"Wazai is humble. In fact, he performed very well. We originally found him because we thought he could perform this role well."

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

Someone else asked: "Where does Mr. Liu think he is lacking?"

Andy Lau said seriously: "The portrayal after the final conspiracy was exposed was a little lacking. I always feel that my performance was not that good."

He really felt that his performance in the last part was not good enough, and he did not have the feeling of being ambitious and giving up everything for desire.

"Indeed, when we were watching it, we always felt that Capt. Liu should be exposed more. Does this mean that your performance in that scene was not up to standard?"

Hearing this, Liu Dehua couldn't help but his eyes changed. This question could be said to be full of malice.

If he admitted that his performance at that time was not up to standard, wouldn't it mean that his Golden Horse Best Actor title was somewhat in vain?

If you deny it, as you have just said, and feel inadequate, isn’t that a slap in the face?

I looked at the reporter and saw that he was from Xiangjiang. That was no wonder.

Just when he was thinking about what to say, Chen Shuo suddenly said: "Actually, you can't say that. The reason why Brother Hua feels that his performance is not enough is because he is too kind, and he can't bear it when he plays such a role.

As Director Zhang said, Brother Hua was hired because he was suitable for this role.

It can be seen from the snow battle that Capt. Liu is not a heartless person. He will leave in despair 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 feelings for his eldest sister and Feidaomen.

It was precisely because he failed to reach the point of ruthless awareness that he was killed by Sui Feng 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 movie is about love from beginning to end.

All people are living, emotional people. They live for love and die for love.

I don’t know where love comes from, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live.

To be alive but not to die, to be dead but not to be resurrected, is not the result of love.

It is precisely because of the relationship that the heroism of Sui Feng and the younger sister, the life and death entanglement between Liu Captou and the elder sister, and this drama are created. "

Movies are a wonderful thing. They are not created, but the inspiration of many creators, and then they discover something that already exists.

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

But just like this, with repeated changes and polishing, a preliminary prototype was formed.

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

However, a work that has been finalized in one edition also has different appearances in the eyes of different people.

This is the charm of the work.
