friends who love movies should have heard of Wong Kar Wai's name. Indeed, Wong Kar Wai is a well-known film director in China and even the world. His films are masterpieces as soon as they are shot. A Fei Zheng Chuan, Chongqing Forest, Dong Xie Xi Du, Mong Kok Carmen are all classic movies that we can't be more familiar with. In addition to being able to create classics, Wong Kar Wai also has a very distinctive feature, that is, "crazy". Friends who are familiar with Wong Kar Wai should have this feeling towards him, that is, "love and hate". Love is because his movie conveys something special enough. The atmosphere and stylization of the movie are very obvious, so you will always feel dreamlike after watching it. Every work such as Dongxiexidu, Chongqing Forest, A Fei Zheng Chuan has a full sense of psychedelic and a secret but rich atmosphere. Quentin likes Wong Kar-wai very much. When he talks about Wong Kar-wai's movies, he always can't restrain his joy, like a little fan.
hate is on a slow word, which is also what makes Quentin hate. Work slowly and work hard. This is what most people say about Wong Kar-wai. The grandmaster of the first generation had prepared for ten years before and after, and he had also prepared for a long time, which consumed a lot of energy. He just makes "good dishes", as long as he doesn't feel it, he won't bring them to the table.
But there is another thing that makes actors "hate", that is, "unorganized". Friends should all know that Wang Jiawei never followed the script at the scene, he only asked for one thing: feeling. In most cases, the actor will be allowed to improvise, or even not let you read the script. When you get to the place, he will tell you a word, let you improvise, follow your feelings, and perform whatever you want. If it feels wrong, get stuck and repeat.
If your acting doesn't feel right to him, he will directly tell you how to act. If you act incorrectly several times, he will be impatient, no matter how big you are, what are the four kings, or the queens , To me, this is his little brother. As long as you don't do well, leave immediately. Let’s see how scary you are.
was the first one, and Andy Lau was finally replaced. Andy Lau's status in the performing arts circle can be regarded as a big brother, and his acting skills when he was young are also first-class. But when the happy season was filming, when He Baorong's actor was chosen, Andy Lau was originally chosen, but it was later changed to Leslie Cheung.
Because Andy Lau did not satisfy Wong Kar-wai during the shooting process, he did not meet his requirements for the film. So we changed it decisively, so our heavenly king Andy Lau was temporarily replaced, and without knowing it. This is what Hua Tsai later mentioned in an interview about the experience of being replaced that year.
Jacky Cheung was almost driven crazy. When we talk about Carmen in Mong Kok now, the first thing that comes to mind may be Jacky Cheung's face. Hahaha, don't be too funny.
But with this expression, Jacky Cheung almost went crazy. Jacky Cheung made this expression dozens of times, but it didn't match Wong Kar-wai's feeling. The last sentence "Forget it" turned around and left Jacky Cheung alone. Jacky Cheung felt humiliated when she mentioned it later.
The actor was tortured. Dongxiexidu is a movie of Wong Kar-wai's deity, this movie has gathered almost all the superstars in Hong Kong. But you think this movie will be easy to make when the big names come? No, because the director is not someone else, but Wong Kar Wai.
Liang Jiahui said that his spirit was almost exhausted. The most tormenting thing was that he didn't know what Wong Kar-wai wanted.
Leung Ka-fai is very tortured.
Leslie Cheung has also worked with Wong Kar-wai many times, but he also said that he is incompatible with Wong Kar-wai.
Leslie Cheung also said that he got along very well with
and Takuya Kimura, and he never read the script. Arrived at the place, it was arranged directly. Wang Jiawei told him: "You are waiting for someone, get ready, and start shooting." With just a few words, Kimura Takuya had a question mark on his face, saying that he had never encountered such a situation.

and Tony Leung were directly scolded and crying. Tony Leung is the one with the longest cooperation with Wong Kar Wai. It is supposed to be an old brother, and there should be a tacit understanding, but he never expected to be scolded and crying. Tony Leung even began to question himself: Did I really act so badly? Simply humble into the dust.

Of course this is not the worst, because Wong Kar-wai also edited himselfIn the movie, the actors waited until after it was released that many shots were finally gone. Takuya Kimura took five years before and after the filming, and the final film shot was less than seven minutes; many shots of the East Evil and West Poison Wang Zuxian also disappeared without knowing it; Guan Shuyi is even more pitiful when happy together.

After the filming of the grandmaster
, the wedding gift that Wong Kar-wai gave to Zhang Zhen was an envelope with a line inside: Cut your scenes less in the future. Zhang Zhen was almost moved to cry. Of course, this is a joke. You have to cut it. The movie comes first.

But anyway, a maverick director like Wong Kar-wai is really rare in the film industry. Although mad, he is also a real master. Do you like Wong Kar Wai's movies? Do you have any views on Wong Kar Wai's practice of "abusing" actors? Comments are welcome.
