Jimu News reporter Rong Yu
Last week, at the premiere of the movie " Customs Front ", the international "superstar" Jackie Chan who came to support solemnly said, "Today's Ting Feng can be said to be me back then. , I finally have a successor.ā
Brotherās praise is not polite. In the hit new film "Customs Front" directed by the famous Hong Kong director Qiu Litao, with Nicholas Tse as the action director and the leading actor, Nicholas Tse played for two full hours, providing the audience with the long-lost oriental action aesthetics. On the evening of June 28, Qiu Litao and Nicholas Tse, who were busy running roadshows across the country, accepted an exclusive phone interview with Jimu News reporters to share how this "go to the sky and enter the sea, explosive" action movie was born.
The maker of the "hit" invites the "god of song"
Although Qiu Litao is a film director who does not act in a high-profile manner, his impressive record in the field of action films cannot help but keep a low profile: Hong Kong films are on the box office list of Chinese films. Two of the top three films at the box office ("Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and "Anti-Drug 2") were produced by him, and both of them were "hits" with a box office of "1 billion+".
But even so, Qiu Litao did not dare to say that he "understands the audience." "The audience is mysterious, and I don't know what they like to watch. I can only try to complete it as well as possible every time I make a movie. I really don't know how to do other things." Think about it. If you think about it too much, you wonāt dare to take pictures.ā
As for the legendary āhot codeā, Qiu Litao, who has many āhot itemsā in his hands, doesnāt want to think too much, āIāve never thought about it. , I know you wonāt find the answer even if you look for it.ā
āCustoms Frontā, which focuses on the customs community in Hong Kong, China, not only features director Qiu Litaoās special skill of eye-catching action scenes, but also has two major highlights: Nicholas Tse, who is serving as an action director for the first time, and Jacky Cheung, who has not made a movie in 8 years.
Qiu Litao told Jimu News that he first met Nicholas Tse when he was just a teenager. At that time, he discovered that this young man was very special, especially when he was on the set. He was extremely focused and would not go home after work. He would take the initiative to see him How does martial arts work.
"He was a 19-year-old boy at that time. He was very new. I felt that his hands and feet were very flexible when shooting action scenes. He could do many actions that others couldn't do." Watching Nicholas Tse grow up all the way, Qiu Litao, who has become famous, believes that Nicholas Tse's potential in the action field has not been fully developed, so this time he invited him to serve as both action director and leading actor, so that Nicholas Tse can "free his hands and feet" to perform well.
When talking about how to invite the "god of singer" Jacky Cheung to act again, Qiu Litao also felt that he was very lucky, because Jacky Cheung was his first choice for this role when he wrote the script. "I thought of him as soon as I thought about it, but I also knew The chance of him accepting our role may be very low. Many people have been looking for him to film in the past period, but he didn't accept it. But I still asked. "To Qiu Litao's surprise, after several considerations, he decided. Jacky Cheung agreed to join and play a key figure suffering from bipolar disorder.
"I am an artist who was 'raised' by boos"
In order to promote "Customs Front", Nicholas Tse, who usually rarely enters the public eye, has been participating in various activities recently. There have also been many popular videos on major short video platforms such as "Nicholas Tse asks you if you are a city" and "Nicholas Tse shows live kung fu". Some netizens commented, "Nicholas Tse has become so gentle now."
Such conscientious publicity stems from Nicholas Tse's love for A sense of responsibility in Chinese action movies. He told Jimu News that in the film industry, action films are the only genre in which Chinese films have sufficient say in the world film industry. āOver the past few decades, we have tailored this set of techniques and created many influential films. "The reason why I have increased my efforts in action movies in the past two years is because I hope more young people will understand our real 'sharp weapon'." Nicholas Tse said with emotion that the whole world is paying attention to Chinese action movies, "If We gave up on ourselves, which I think is a shame."
In "Customs Front", Nicholas Tse performed many difficult actions without the need for a stand-in or special effects. The name "Desperate Saburo" that has been used for more than 20 years is still resounding today. Nicholas Tse said that when he was filming action scenes, he was not Fearless, "Fear is always there, but the reason why the audience feels nervous when watching your movie is because the actor is taking risks and experiencing crises. This kind of tension is very valuable. "
However, Nicholas Tse also concluded that when he was young, he relied on strength and courage to shoot action scenes, but now that he has matured, he is more confident and accurate when facing action scenes, "Now I know what I want. Anything can be done. "
Last week, Nicholas Tse participated in many audience interaction activities and met many cute requests from fans. The reporter asked Nicholas Tse, who has always been cool, whether he is adaptable to this way of communication. His answer was: "It depends on the audience's requirements. What, but I don't care about it. "Rock singers don't "compare themselves", which sounds quite reasonable.
He was promoted to the "A-list" not long after his debut. He is proficient in film, television, singing and cooking. He has been popular for more than 20 years and is still a "superstar". Nicholas Tse There seems to be no word "outdated" in his acting career. When talking about his current life situation, Nicholas Tse modestly said that he "can't be too satisfied." status quo. "
Nicholas Tse made no secret of the fact that he is a very lucky artist, "But being an artist also comes with the price of being an artist. "Hearing Nicholas Tse say this, Director Qiu Litao couldn't help but join in, "Ting Fung used the word 'price'. In fact, sometimes for a job, you have to do a lot of work that you don't like or don't want to do. Because some jobs are interests and some jobs are responsibilities. "
Qiu Litao said frankly, "It's not easy for Ting Fung to get to where he is today. As an outsider, he didn't say anything to me. I only found out through the news that he has always suffered a lot. Let me be more direct. When he first started, many people scolded him. It was really not easy for him to get to where he is today. "
felt the director's distress, and Nicholas Tse also smiled and added, "Other artists have not been raised by 'boos', but I have.ā
