Counting the classic film and television works of the post-80s and post-90s, Lin Lin always can list a lot. If you say that the film and television works adapted from Japanese comics, the scope is much smaller. "Initial D" is one of the best. The film starring Jay Chou was a big craze when it was released, and Jay Chou won the Golden Horse Award for Best New Actor for it.
In 2005, the film "Initial D" adapted from the Japanese manga of the same name was released. The director Liu Weiqiang directed and Jay Chou, Edison Chen and Shawn Yue participated in the performance. This classic film was dedicated to everyone. Its release also evokes an era. Youth memory, today, many people still remember the theme song sung by Jay Chou.
15 years later, the director Liu Weiqiang revealed the behind-the-scenes story of "Initial D" in an interview. Only then did people know that when the male host was chosen, the first candidate was not Jay Chou, but Edison Chen. Liu Weiqiang also said that he did not spend any effort to find the actors, but directly chose the actors in "Infernal Affairs", because the director is most familiar with this team, and it is safe to use.
When choosing the male lead, Liu Weiqiang recommended Edison Chen. This is also the male lead Liu Weiqiang hopes for, but he was dismissed by the senior management because he believed that Jay Chou was more popular and his popularity was much higher than Edison Chen, so Liu Weiqiang had to change Male lead.
Liu Weiqiang said frankly that he didn't know Jay Chou at all. Later, someone recommended Jay Chou's song. He didn't hear anything after listening to it for a long time. He didn't know what he was singing, and he didn't understand what he was singing.
In this way, Liu Weiqiang and Jay Chou began their first talks. At the beginning, there was an episode. At first, Jay Chou asked Liu Weiqiang to meet in Taiwan. This made him a little angry as the director. He had filmed " The directors of the Infernal Affairs and Young and Dangerous series were asked to meet Jay Chou. Shouldn't it be Jay Chou who came to see him?
Later, after arriving in Taiwan, he didn’t even see Jay Chou, but only saw the agent. This made Liu Weiqiang who was in a bad mood even more dull. Maybe the agent noticed that the atmosphere on the scene was not right, and immediately contacted Jay Chou. At a very delicate moment, Jay Chou's move made the storm that was about to begin to pass gently.
Jay Chou immediately made a drifting action after seeing the director Liu Weiqiang. Liu Weiqiang also noticed that Jay Chou had done his homework and did not take himself seriously, so the director immediately relieved his anger, and the two happily cooperated for a while. . In fact, Jay Chou was originally a comic book fan of "Initial D", and he was also very interested in racing. The director also learned about Jay Chou’s character when getting along. He knew that he didn’t care less about people, but had a slower personality and was not good at interacting with others. Dealing with people.
finally relied on the film "Initial D", the director and Jay Chou made mutual achievements and gained a lot. Because the male lead was changed, Edison Chen could only be squeezed out of position and played the second male lead. Edison Chen had always thought that he was the lead actor before, but now he suddenly changed to Jay Chou, he was naturally unwilling. This is also human nature. From the lead actor to a supporting role, he is always unwilling to do so. Despite complaints in his heart, Edison Chen did well. For his part, it did not hold back the film.
There are still many people asking whether this movie will be remake, and Liu Weiqiang also said that he will not make a sequel, because "Initial D" is adapted from Japanese anime, it is difficult to deal with the copyright if it wants to shoot again. It is difficult to solve the safety issues during the shooting outside. In order to achieve the shooting effect, it is inevitable that actors must be on the stage, and it is difficult to guarantee safety. So there will be no more sequels.
Although there is no way for everyone to see the sequel, the "Initial D" at that time has become a classic, and it is also a youth worth remembering for many people. Every actor in "Initial D" is also the best in our hearts. Good looks, classics are worth remembering, but they don’t necessarily need to be reproduced.
