"Rouge Button" was originally directed by Tan Jiaming Ekin Cheng almost played the twelve young people.
"Rouge Button" was the first film I directed after signing to Jiahe Company. After I signed the contract, I actually did not direct "Rouge Button", it was another New Wave director in Hong Kong called Tan Jiaming. Because the script has been delayed for a long time, the original set of Anita Mui, Andy Lau, and Zhong Chuhong.
Except for Anita Mui, because she has already signed it to Jiahe, Anita Mui also particularly likes the role of Ruhua, so she still waits for the play. The schedule for other people is gone, and she has been worrying about who the twelve young people are looking for. Then selected Wu Qihua and Ekin Cheng who just debuted.
One day it was almost decided that it was Wu Qihua. Anita Mui told me, "Aguan, or else, I will go to Xinyicheng to shoot a movie and change Leslie Cheung over to shoot "Rouge Button".
I told my boss that I think it is a fact that the actress Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung are good friends, but she has a judgment that the Twelve Young Masters and Ruhua should be the match between Leslie Cheung and her, so "Rouge Button" was made. I think a movie often, we were talking about just now, has its life.
Maggie Cheung tried for two weeks and entered the role. She refused to shave her eyebrows and glued
. For me, when I decided to use Maggie Cheung to play, she answered me in the documentary, it was for herself, she walked into the role of Ruan Lingyu . So when filming, she often enters and exits from the character.
She is willing to cooperate with my time. Before arriving in Shanghai, she had a full two weeks, from noon to evening for six or seven hours a day, wearing the cheongsam and high heels that we had made, and a big mirror was there to let her watch her walking , Sitting posture.
But one thing is that when we tried on her makeup in Hong Kong, we refused our art director, that is, she refused to shave her eyebrows. She said that some people say that the eyebrows may not grow back once they are shaved, so we can only use glue to make her eyebrows very thin. Glue is still used at the scene. When we watched the sample the next day, I said why would you come to see it? She said I just look at my makeup. After watching, she left without saying a word.
When we got back to the hotel we had a meeting and someone knocked on the door. When the door opened, she found that she had shaved off her eyebrows. Now we watch a lot of movies and TV shows in the 1930s. The eyebrows are not like the eyebrows of the 1930s. They are the women of that era. Basically, they shave the eyebrows and draw the thin eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.
As a director, if I see actors like this, I am sure. Later, after a while after filming, I saw her saying that her eyebrows were still growing back. She said it was different, the eyebrows were not so soft after they grew back.
filming "Ruan Lingyu" Maggie Cheung was blackmailed by her ex-boyfriend and girlfriend
Since she was willing to shave off her eyebrows, the video I could show her at that time was basically the video tape of Ruan Lingyu's movie. I think she basically sympathizes with Ruan Lingyu.
is not a secret. Just before the film "Ruan Lingyu" was launched in Shanghai, Maggie Cheung had an incident. She herself admitted that when she filmed Chen Kexin's "Tale of Two Cities", she was in the United States with a producer. The film guys fell in love, but they broke up later. But she was found by the boy's current girlfriend and many love letters she wrote to that boy. The girl
blackmailed Maggie Cheung. If you don’t give me any benefits, I will throw all these letters in the Entertainment Weekly, but Maggie Cheung said yes at that time. I am in love with this guy at this time, "I love you" Why can't you talk about this? Then we broke up. The love letter
made her recognize this boy. She was not happy that there were more boys than that girl because she thought how could that boy allow his girlfriend to do this. But she said something very interesting. Today I can confess this matter frankly, and I feel more sympathetic to Ruan Lingyu at that time. When an actor enters a role, she can grasp the feelings of when she is put in the role inside and out, including the things that happen to her around her. I think ZhangRuan Lingyu, played by Manyu, did it.
It’s my own problem to meet Sammi Cheng, whether it’s good or bad, and it’s my own problem to let her relax.
You said Sammi Cheng is a queen, and it is even a guarantee for the box office. She played with Andy Lau, Tony Leung, and Ekin Cheng, all of that kind of love. Sketch. Indeed, at that time, the dramas with her were basically sold for money. But when I asked her to play "The Song of Everlasting Regret", I felt that it was good or bad for a director to meet an actor who wanted to change himself.
"Song of Everlasting Regret" is even an unsuccessful example, because I can't make her more relaxed, this is my problem. She was also wholehearted when she filmed "Eternal Regret".
Zheng Xiuwen has never acted in dramas in the 1930s and 1940s, and her Mandarin is not good enough. Later I thought I still insisted. Later, she still insisted on complementing and matching herself. How do you complement the tone is there, and what caused her depression? of.
