Chapter 1636 The First Step of the Sunglasses King
April in Xiangjiang is already the season of spring flowers.
It can even be said that we have entered early summer ahead of schedule.
Anyway, Xiangjiang is basically never cold all year round, so if you are willing, a suit can be worn all year round.
For Chinese people, the new year begins on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so April is already the third month of the new year.
Wang Jiawei, who came back from India, is much darker and thinner than before.
Then he finally put on those sunglasses.
The reason was that the sun in India was too harsh and hurt his eyes, so it was better to wear sunglasses.
However, this little problem cannot hinder Wang Jiawei's good mood.
Because when he came back a few days ago, Yu Zheng had already given him a script, a script written by Yin Jun, and asked him to become a new director for the first time.
The name of the script is "Carmen in Mong Kok".
Of course Wang Jiawei didn't know that this was his movie that made him famous. He was just happy that he could get Jun Shao's script.
I originally thought that I would need another two years of training before I could direct a film alone, but I didn't expect to receive such a great gift as soon as I came back from India.
But this is also conditional.
Yu Zheng said that Yin Jun would shoot a movie in Europe in June and appointed Wang Jiawei to be the assistant director.
Therefore, Wang Jiawei must complete the filming and post-production of "Carmen in Mongkok" before June.
Hearing this, Wang Jiawei was even more excited.
Naturally, he also saw Yin Jun's failure at the Oscars. As a smart person like him, he immediately understood that Yin Jun was preparing to attack the Oscars again.
Wang Jiawei is a person who is naturally fond of literature and art, and Yin Jun has shot dramas in the past few years that have received extremely high reviews and have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success.
If you can learn some knowledge from it, you will be able to enjoy it for a lifetime.
Therefore, he has been working overtime all night in the past few days, trying hard to thoroughly understand the script of "Carmen in Mong Kok" given by Yin Jun, and to ponder the three protagonists given to him by Yin Jun.
The story of "Carmen in Mongkok" is actually very simple. It tells the story of two gangsters, how they lead to the point of no return step by step.
At the end of the story, the scene where Ah Hua and Wu Ying were shot dead by the police was simply the first of its kind in Hong Kong.
It is this unconventional approach that made Wang Jiawei the favorite of the Hong Kong Film Awards. His first film received a total of ten nominations, causing a sensation throughout Hong Kong.
Yin Jun, who plays the protagonist Ah Hua, chose Ren Dahua.
He finished filming "The 2" with Eddie Murphy in March and is currently resting at home. It's a good time for him to act in a feature film and develop his acting skills.
Yin Jun also did not use the original Andy Lau because he was going to replace Zhang Xueyou and film "Curry Detective" with Zhou Xingchi.
Zhang Xueyou has not made his debut yet... Oh, it is not that he has not made his debut. Wireless Amateur Singer Competition has already begun. This future singer has signed up to participate. In a month or two, he will become the champion and appear in front of people's eyes. .
But this kind of Zhang Xueyou is definitely not suitable to play the second male lead in a movie.
So Yin Jun gave the role of the younger brother to Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun's acting skills are adequate, but because of his appearance, he has not become popular in the past two years. It is a good arrangement to use him as the second male lead.
As for the heroine, Yin Jun did not choose the comely Zhang Manyu, but the more beautiful and younger Zeng Huaqian.
Zeng Huaqian is almost 19 years old this year, and this young and innocent cousin role is just right for her.
No matter from which aspect, Yam Dahua, Liu Qingyun and Zeng Huaqian will not be inferior to the original version.
Wang Jiawei is not familiar with Yam Dahua, but he is relatively familiar with Liu Qingyun and Zeng Huaqian.
Because these two people have been filming TV series at Kylin TV over the years, Wang Jiawei is the screenwriter of Kylin TV, and he usually has many contacts with them.
Wang Jiawei is a person who doesn't like to talk, but his script writing is very good, so he is considered a relatively popular screenwriter, and he naturally has more contacts with big stars.
In his opinion, although Liu Qingyun looks a little darker and a little uglier, after honing his acting skills in the past few years, he is already very good, and there is no problem playing the second male lead, Wu Fei.
Although the acting skills of the silly and sweet Zeng Waqian are not very good, she does not have many roles in "Carmen" and does not require too much acting skills, so it is okay.
Of course, there are some relatively intimate scenes in it that Wang Jiawei would not even dare to shoot, so he would either shoot them out of position or use a stand-in.
I believe that the leading actor Simon Yam doesn't have the guts either.
Who in the whole of Xiangjiang doesn’t know who the man behind Zeng Huaqian is?
Even if she didn't have this idea before, as Zeng Huaqian grows bigger and more beautiful, do you dare to say that Jun Shao didn't take her into consideration?
Or maybe they have been together for a long time, but they just didn't announce it to the public.
If you want to take advantage of Jun Shao's woman while filming, you are simply courting death - Zeng Huaqian has two female bodyguards by her side!
This is just like Lizhi filming.
Anyone who sees Lizhi's appearance and figure will drool.
But who dares to have any obvious contact with her during filming?
Even with a gentle hug, some male protagonists are still a little confused, fearing that Jun Shao will misunderstand them.
Not to mention Li Zhi, this is Zeng Huaqian. When filming, the producers tried their best to let her play some innocent girl roles, which did not involve any kissing and cuddling plots.
Among Yin Jun's group of women and sisters, the most generous one is Wen Bixia.
Although she also looks like a flower and a jade, because she is a child star, she is very adaptable to some cuddling scenes in daily life.
Of course, if there is any kissing scene, Wen Bixia will not do it, not even kissing on the cheek.
Come back to the present.
The establishment of film crews in Hong Kong is much more convenient and faster than in the United States.
Not to mention that Wang Jiawei is backed by Qilin Movies.
In just three days, all the candidates Wang Jiawei needed were available.
The costume designer and stylist is Zhang Suping, a person who studied abroad from Canada and has been doing corresponding work at Qilin Film for the past two years.
It's just that the photographer Yin Jun actually paired him with a ghost - the winner of the best photography at last year's Asia Pacific Film Festival, whose Chinese name is Duke Feng.
The producer is Wen Jun, the vice president of Qilin Films. Wang Jiawei is definitely highly regarded if Wen Jun can be the producer for him.
Everyone in Xiangjiang doesn't know that Wen Jun has always been Yin Jun's confidant. On weekdays, it is this little fat man who has the most frequent contacts and exchanges with the mainland.
As a new director, Wang Jiawei was a little afraid that he would not be able to control the scene.
Liu Qingyun is not a big-name star, so this is easy to handle.
Zeng Huaqian has always been a very gentle person. Even though she has a bit of a young lady's temper, she has never been troublesome, which is also good.
The most troublesome thing is Ren Dahua.
Through "The Sky Cannon", Yam Dahua has long become a first-line action star. Although he is not as good as Zhou Yunfa, he is basically on the same level as Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao.
Such a big name, not to mention Wang Jiawei, even a big director has to be polite.
So when he saw that Yin Jun paired him with Wen Jun, Wang Jiawei felt a little more relaxed, because no matter how big a celebrity Ren Dahua was, he would never dare to go against Wen Jun, who represented Yin Jun.
Facts have proved that Wang Jiawei thought too much.
Not only Liu Qingyun and Zeng Huaqian, but also Ren Dahua was polite and without any airs when he arrived in the conference room to discuss the plot.
He also asked Wang Jiawei to give him more advice on his acting skills. If he made any mistakes, he would tell him directly and help him correct them.
This surprised Wang Jiawei.
He thought this was Yin Jun's advice to Ren Dahua.
Of course not.
Despite the fact that Yam Tat-wah played some characters like perverts and lunatics in his early days, and his eldest brother is the captain of the Flying Tigers, in fact Yam Tat-wah is a very humble person, and he never acts like a big name on the set, and Almost everyone is on good terms.
It was also because of Ren Dahua's excellence that Yin Jun decided to support him and make him a real superstar.
Yin Jun only told Simon Yam that the movie "Carmen in Mong Kok" was a movie that would test his acting skills and that he should study it carefully so that he could take on more types of movies in the future and expand his acting career.
Ren Dahua listened to it, and after returning from the United States, he has been thinking about the script.
The three main actors got the script earlier than Wang Jiawei.
When Wang Jiawei communicated with them, everyone understood the meaning and discussed some details with Wang Jiawei, which made Wang Jiawei very satisfied.
At this time, Wang Jiawei is definitely not the best sunglasses king.
But he had this unique talent when he arrived, and he was destined to become a master.
After all, there are not many directors who can make classic movies without a script and only rely on their own inner thoughts.
There are not many directors who are so demanding on the details of the movie, although because of this, he made the main plot a bit confusing.
Secondly, Wang Jiawei has only been in India for more than half a year and studied for a long time with David Lean, the number one film master in the UK.
During this period, Wang Jiawei conducted very serious study and research on David Lean's various shooting techniques, expression forms, the use of various techniques, etc.
When he had nothing to do in his spare time, Wang Jiawei would ask the old man many questions from time to time.
David Lean was naturally willing to teach this young man who was specially sent by Yin Jun to study when he had time.
It can be said that in the few months Wang Jiawei has been in India, he has learned richer and more three-dimensional knowledge than he had in the previous 20 years.
Although there is certainly no way to learn all of David Lean's abilities, Wang Jiawei has benefited a lot from what he has learned so far.
Otherwise, he would never dare to accept the movie Yin Jun gave him.
It’s not surprising that it’s taken.
But it would be too embarrassing if the shot was smashed!
