Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 465 An Unremarkable Script

In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

The hustle and bustle of the Spring Festival stalls passed, and the days returned to normal. Su Ze went to the gym every day, then went back to the company to read the script, and went home at night to train systematically.

The inventory of last year's painstaking filming was basically emptied, and now there is only one film left, which cannot be released in the mainland. Hopes for that work are very low, let alone box office.

Until now, I have a little understanding of Liu Tianwang and Gu Tianle's thinking. I have made movies for half my life, and now I have the ability to meet scripts that I like. It is fate, and seeing a good director can help me.

Xin Yukun is, Liu Jiangjiang is, and so is Treading Blood to Seek Plum Blossoms.

Suddenly received a call from Zhuang Wenqiang, saying that someone wanted to meet me?

It turned out to be Xu Anhua!

Two days later, I saw Xu Anhua, the legendary female director who won an award and was called the most Hong Kong-style, wearing black-rimmed glasses and dressed in a simple and unpretentious outfit.

"Your Mandarin is really good." After a simple greeting, Su Ze smiled.

"I often come to the Mainland for filming, and it will be smooth when I talk about it." Xu Anhua looked at the young man in front of him. Although it was the first time we met, he was already familiar with it.

Having watched many works and learned a lot of news from friends, the person in front of me is impeccable in both acting skills and dedication, which can be called perfect.

Thinking of this, I don't want to talk nonsense, and directly took out the script and said, "I hope Boss Su can read this script."

"Boss Su?" Su Ze was taken aback. Is this the rhythm of investment?
"Of course it would be better if you are willing to act in it. As a director, I wish for it!" Xu Anhua added with a smile.

Su Ze took the script with both hands and began to browse. The name is very simple, only two words:
Sister Tao.

The script is not thick, only more than 20 pages. Su Ze read it quickly, because the plot is very ordinary, and it is almost like reading a diary.

Point the camera at the nursing home, and use delicate film language to tell a touching story between a master and a servant that is not a family relationship but is better than a family relationship.

There is no strong dramatic conflict, and all the details of life such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are shown.Su Ze had an illusion, as if he was watching the day and night of Tianshuiwei in the old people's home?

"Are you not used to it?" Xu Anhua looked at his words and said with a smile, "Isn't Taiping not surprising to you, the king of suspense?"

Su Ze smiled and asked, "Is this a real adaptation?"

"Almost." Xu Anhua said: "About eighty to ninety percent, the hero's house is Roger's house in reality, and the things in Sister Tao's box are all prototypes."

"They also visited the bed where Sister Tao lived, the tea restaurant, and the park. They are looking for a nursing home, but there is no suitable one for the time being."

Su Ze tentatively said, "If I'm lucky enough to play the role, who do you plan to find, Sister Tao?"

"Ye Dexian!" Xu Anhua said firmly, "She is the most suitable."

"It's her?" An image flashed in Su Ze's mind, the golden supporting role in Hong Kong movies, and the most impressive one was the new Shaolin Fifth Patriarch playing Qiu Shuzhen's mother.

At the critical moment, she blocked countless poisonous darts from the enemy, but because her martial arts were not as good as before, she couldn't catch the one that flew towards her heart.The scene of pretending to be okay, but falling down amidst laughter and laughter, is very vivid in my memory.

"The last time I chatted with Qin Hailu, she was interested, as well as Qin Pei." Xu Anhua said: "Other actors don't plan to find a professional, especially a nursing home, just be yourself."

Su Ze nodded, this is Xu Anhua's style, plain as water, many things are hidden in the details, not everyone can appreciate it.

The days and nights in Tin Shui Wai sent Bao Qijing to the actress, and she became a woman after many years of acting.Siqin Gaowa scored twice for her aunt's post-modern life, and this time it's Sister Tao again...

Old woman professional!

"Actually, Andy Lau was the first one I looked for." Xu Anhua suddenly said, "He also recommended me to try with you."

Su Ze was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "Why?"

"It's very simple. I want to make this film into a commercial film." Xu Anhua said seriously, "I also want to make money!"

Su Ze: "..."

"The market on Hong Kong Island is too small. There are only so many viewers who like me. It is very difficult to make money." Xu Anhua sighed, "Andy Lau said that the mainland is your territory, so..."

"It's easy to invest, but it's best to find you if you want to earn box office!"

Su Ze is speechless, Liu Tianwang really thinks highly of himself!
"I'm sorry, that's how I talk." Xu Anhua said sincerely, "I like to tell the truth, and I don't like wasting everyone's time. Of course, you can refuse, it's okay."

"Money doesn't matter." Su Ze rubbed the script habitually, and said seriously: "I'm willing to invest, but I can't guarantee 100% whether I can make money."

"Yes!" Xu Anhua stared at Su Ze, and suddenly smiled, "I believe it will be fine!"

Su Ze stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Then we have a happy cooperation, and I hope Director Xu will take care of you."

We ate together at noon, talked about many details, and sent Xu Anhua away. Su Ze let out a sigh of relief. This is another Hong Kong-style script.

Two reasons, the first must be Xu Anhua, the opportunity to cooperate with this female director is once in a lifetime, even if you miss this time, there may not be a next time.

Of course, it doesn't mean that she is better than others, but as the legendary female director who has won the most awards, she must have something special, and this is the biggest charm that attracts me.

The second is the script, plain as water is also a state, but it requires a lot of acting skills. Let a professional actor completely put down his skills in front of the camera and blend into the role to show his true self. Isn't it the legendary return to basics?

Su Ze is full of expectations!

After all, Xu Anhua is 64 years old this year. He is such a famous director who has won numerous awards, but he still couldn't afford a house in his early years, so he could only rent a house in North Point with his mother.

Unmarried all her life, without children, what to do when she gets old is probably the question she has been thinking about for these years, so Sister Tao was born.

Her personal style is very strong, without any deliberate sensationalism, it is all a natural expression of the true emotions in the life of the characters, without artificiality, exaggeration, or intentional concealment.

I like to give up all technical means that can be used to guide the audience, and use more of a recording method to express many details in life.

Her work should not be judged by the standards of movies.In Su Ze's opinion, she is more like a recorder than a director, and what she shows you is a real, ordinary, calm and profound life.

It is as if an old man of time is leading you and watching the person she wants you to see moving forward.Guide you again, let your eyes shift to other people.

Just reading the script is like looking at yourself and the people around you.No need to applaud loudly at the end, because this is life, the life you are in.

It's like looking away when you see an old man walking tremblingly because you can't bear it.But there are some terrible imaginations, the more you don't want to think about them, the more turbulent they will be.

Wonderful feeling.
