Introduction: In 1977, Zhang Ai Jia and Brigitte Lin collaborated in "The Dream of Red Mansions", one Lin Meimei and one Bao brother, and the CP feeling is sad; in 1999, Zhang Ai Jia directed and screenwriter " Heart-wrenching ", and took Kaneshiro , Gigi Leung, and Karen Mok contributed the best and most thoughtful acting skills; in 2011, Zhang Ai Jia and Fan Bingbing starred in "Guanyin Mountain", and were nominated for the Tokyo International Film Festival, but Zhang Ai Jia lost.
Recently, the theater of " Love and Blind Dating " directed and starring Zhang Aijia is on the market. It is no surprise that it has a huge reputation and a box office that has only exceeded 10 million. As a film that has won many nominations including the Best Director Award at this Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, such a fate is sad. When can the audience's overall viewing level be improved?
It was a coincidence that Zhang Aijia was mostly good movies passed down by word of mouth, or wanted to understand the past of the actors he liked, but found that if it was either the director, the heroine, or the impressionable guest appearance, every identity was not portrayed vividly but could not be ignored, and he would just walk into my heart silently.
So far, what impressed me by Zhang Aijia’s works include "The Dream of Red Mansions", "Alang's Story", "Eight Tales of Gold", "Heart Movement", "20, 30, 40", " Happy Birthday ", " Girl Little Fishing ", "Gorgeous Office Worker", and "Guanyin Mountain", which made me truly praise her performance.
Each work can be read out in a long and comprehensive manner. As a representative of multiple identities such as directors, actors, screenwriters, singers, producers, etc., she respects and recognizes her status. If she does it, she must do it well. "Play a good show, make a good movie, and be a good person." I think Teacher Chang Aijia has done it.
Of course, she always did a little worse. What is the difference is probably what I want to express “the role of the inconsistency”.
The beginning of "heartbeat" The end of self-sustaining
First met Zhang Aijia because of the movie "heartbeat" she directed and participated in in 1999. Later I learned that this movie made Sylvia nominated for the Best Director Award at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards and won the Best Screenwriter Award. Therefore, the "halo" of director and screenwriter Sylvia Chang has been recognized by the industry for a long time and is recognized at the "top" level.
movie is a story about first love, "love and missed", it is filmed unconventional and challenging "extraordinary", and it adds the plot of homosexual obsession and is only brief, regrets missing and makes mistakes without criticizing, telling good stories and grasping the boundaries well, she is really amazing.
storytelling director Zhang Aijia is also an immersive bystander in the movie. No, he should be considered the person involved. He has constructed a documentary-like sense of documentary, told and judged it, and speculated whether true or false about the choice of each character.
Takeshi Kaneshiro, Gigi Leung and Karen Mok were young and had a strong work. They stood under the flash and then chose an art film. As actors, they know what their duties are like Sylvia Chang. This is one of the reasons why she likes Sylvia Chang. She is smart and good at training for her roles, so the role-making in the movie is particularly pleasing.
After reading her works, it is not difficult to find that the protagonist of Sylvia Chang's movie story always goes through a long transition in life. "20, 30, 40" and "Love and Blind Dating" have made it clear and the "span" of different age levels, breaking them one by one.
The span of "Heart Movement" has a span of a person's growth timeline, and the span of the current "I" reflecting on the past "I". Such span is changing anytime and anywhere, every era, every moment and every individual. Therefore, movies with this type of theme do not matter to be outdated or special, and they can bring me a strong resonance even now.
Compared with Takeshi Kaneshiro and Gigi Leung's obsession, confusion and helplessness about love, they went around and tangled for a long time, and finally they became a little clear-headed and tangled, annoying storyline. I prefer the brave and even a little unscrupulous Chen Li who played Karen Mok, who was brave and fought for, and even used any means. As a best friend, he listened to Xiao Rou's troubles, and showed Xiao Rou's feelings to Xiao Rou, and after he was rejected, he seduced Xiao Rou's boyfriend Haojun and successfully married him... Later, after many years of marriage, he chose to tell the other party the truth, divorced and broke up, and looked for a new relationship.
Chen Li knows what she wants, and has worked hard for it, even if she separates relatives and friends.
On the other hand, this kind of "heart-moving" is more refreshing, and the "heart-moving" of Takeshi Kaneshiro and Gigi Leung are a little pretentious.
Zhang Aijia's "pretentiousness" is full of energy, and it seems that it is not done intentionally, but it is very aggressive and clear. If she could put aside the tone that was separated from "real life" in her movies and let go of herself, maybe she would be really "everyone".
She can't play Lin Daiyu , delicate and emotionally "unharmonious"
" Dream of Red Mansions " writes Lin Daiyu: "Two curves seem to be frowning but not frowning, and one pair seem to be happy but not happy with affection. The appearance brings sorrow to both cheeks, and the delicate and sickness is exerted by the whole body. Tears are dotted, and the gasps are slightly. The leisure is like a beautiful flower shining on the water, and the action is like a weak willow to support the wind. The heart is more than dry, and the disease is like a Xizi wins three points."
Lin Meimei Daiyu is born with a pathological "fragrant", with a non-soft temper but strong, willful but strong mind, and is "out of the dust and trust in destiny" in dealing with people... If it were Lu Xun, it would be "My sister Lin was frowning all day long, crying and petty, I can't stand it... Although Lin Daiyu is beautiful, it is a kind of pathological beauty."
Zhang Aijia and Lin Meimei seem to have nothing in common except talent. The impression that Sylvia Sylvia gives us is that he is intellectual, easy-going, elegant and resilient, and he is light and open-minded. What is important is that he is an all-round artist who is smart and "not afraid of getting old".
pair, Zhang Aijia gave me the feeling that she was "transparent", and she didn't say it thoroughly. Lin Daimei is a typical person who talks everywhere, and is extremely unfaithful in dealing with the world, "and she didn't realize it after she was murderous intent."
In "The Dream of Red Mansions", the "incongruity" brought to me by the role of Lin Meimei, she has more than a little bit. I would rather Brigitte Lin play Lin Daimei. She is a sorrowful and crying beauty, and she may be able to control her very well.
Britain Lin and Sylvia Chang put together to form a pair. The latter looks too "strong" in outline and the CP sense is too weak.
As she gets older, Sylvia Chang has arranged many roles as "mom". Especially after watching "Love and Blind Dating", my mother acted so well, she was still serious and jealous, a little willful and childish. After "fighting for a breath", she could also try to understand and accept it. The personality and temperament are still fluid. No matter how time goes by, it’s great.
The lone and lofty "old man" supporting role Chang Yueqin found
Until now, many people are still teasing Fan Bingbing as a "carpet star". In fact, compared with the current traffic young actors and actresses, Fan Bingbing's identity as the "movie queen" has long been finalized, and it is not an inexplicable reputation as the best actress.
Among them, the most important thing is "Guanyin Mountain", which made Fan Bingbing win the Best Actress Award at the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival. The director of "Guanyin Mountain" Li Yu is her mentor and also the director of the movie "Apple" starring Fan Ye . "Apple" was nominated for the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival.
is a long way off. Let’s talk about "Guanyin Mountain", you can get a glimpse of the level of this movie from the award situation. Fan Bingbing gained fame and fortune, and was brilliant, but few people knew that Sylvia Chang was nominated for the Best Actress at the same Tokyo International Film Festival, and was nominated for the Best Actress at the 47th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards.
It turns out that Chang Yueqin, played by Chang Aijia, and Nan Feng, played by Fan Bingbing, are the two heroines in "Guanyin Mountain".
, maybe everyone has discovered that Fan Bingbing's so-called explosive acting film, the director has put a lot of effort into using the camera and setting off the sound effects of the scene. After carefully reading the film, there are few close-up shots to demonstrate "acting skills". Through large and intense actions and the help of the opposite actors, it has an immediate effect.
Although he won several heavy awards, Fan Bingbing's acting skills are not convinced, and this is probably the reason.
Zhang Aijia's acting skills in "Guanyin Mountain" are completely crushing and quiet. When watching a movie, it seems that I can smell a scent, a kind of lonely and noble "old man". To put it vividly, it is probably the smell of rotten wood being corrupt but proud and hard.
The creation of the character Chang Yueqin subverted my usual stereotype of Chang Aijia and brought the image of "desperate housewife" to life. This middle-aged woman who lost her son and cheated on her husband was alone and was suppressed. It seemed that waiting for the arrival of death was the only way out.
Chang Yueqin, who started to rent a house and did not recover from the pain of losing her son and husband, must have gone through various running-in and transformation. At first, the landlord and tenants were confronted with each other, and their old-fashioned and introverted personality separated the familiarity and communication with others. Later, I sat alone in the car where my son and husband had a car accident, licking the wound in pain without letting go.
Finally, the Buddhist temple explained, suddenly realized and let go, and chose to disappear in the beautiful Guanyin Mountain. Whether it was transcendence or obsession, it made people unbearable to criticize and chose to respect her power to choose death.
The box office failure of "Love and Blind Dating", especially the current situation where many good movies are not accepted by the market, does not mean that Sylvia Chang's "loss". As an "old man" who has been in the film and television industry for decades and is well versed in the market rules, she can't do it, only she can't do it, only she wants or not.
Today I saw the comments from the film critic, "Her movies have never had real contradictions, so there is no real reconciliation. Her romantic imagination of love has hindered her from not touching the essence of life and reality so far." hehe.
It seems that there are no real independent film critics in China, and many film critics are just a "nickname". I don't know what the essence of life and reality is? All I know is that in the film directed by Sylvia Sakusa, I saw the lives of myself and the people I am familiar with.
Sitting in the cinema, watching "Love and Blind Dating", laughing like a madman and crying like a fool, it is the real me.
