There are two labels on Chang Aijia: one is a talented woman. She is not outstanding in appearance, but her eyes emit infinite light, giving people a unique intellectual beauty. She still maintains a girlish look when she is old. In the movie "The Old Friends of Mountains and Riv

Zhang Aijia has two tags :

is a talented woman.

She is not outstanding, but her eyes emit infinite light, giving people a unique intellectual beauty. She still maintains a girlish look when she is old.

In the movie " Mountains and Rivers Old Friends ", she, who was in her 60s, had an age-loving relationship with a young and handsome man born in the 90s, and the audience was not inconsistent with her.

is a scandal.

Women like Zhang Aijia are the most popular among talented men. Her scandal list includes Lee Zongsheng, Luo Dayou and Yang Dechang , two godfathers in the music scene and a movie master.

Lee Zongsheng is the big brother in the music industry, but it is the "Little Li" in Chang'a. Lee Zongsheng regards Chang'a as a very important person in his life. The famous song " The Price of Love " was given to Changa. It is said that after half of the writing, Li Zongsheng cried into tears.

The two have never really fallen in love, but many years later at Leehom Lee's concert, Zhang Aijia asked him if he had ever loved him. Leehom Lee suddenly felt speechless, and the two hugged each other tightly, everything was silent.

and Luo Dayou has a lot of feelings for Sylvia Chang. He spent a whole five years writing a song and gave it to Sylvia Chang to perform at the first time. This song is "Childhood ".

"Childhood" exchanged for the two people's love and injuries.

Luo Dayou likes loneliness, Zhang Aijia is forgetful, and their relationship lasts only a year and ends in vain.

1992, the emotional entanglement between the three had already come to an end. Zhang Aijia filmed a movie "When Awakening to Dream", which is a review of past relationships.

This movie cast lineup is luxurious, Zhang Yimou is the film planning, Du Kefeng is the film photography, Zhang Shuping serves as art, and Gong Li and Zhong Zhentao starring.

But the most exciting thing is that this film is a joint collaboration between Zhang Aijia, Lee Zongsheng and Luo Dayou. Originally, the king did not see the king, and there was such a messy love history involved. Participating in such a "gossip movie" will inevitably make you feel slutty.

But the two masters put down their prejudices and stood up for her for the white moonlight in their hearts, which shows how charming Zhang Aijia is.

The title of this film is taken from the song of the same name created by Lee Zongsheng, and this song is also sung in the film.

The ending song "Now Is Only" was created and sung by Luo Dayou himself, and finally included in his album "Four Seasons".

Some people say that this movie contains a unruly love story of Chang Aijia, because the movie also tells the story of a woman dealing with two men, and Gong Li's heroine's character is very similar to the reality of Chang Aijia.

Ma Li (played by Gong Li) was born in Hong Kong and grew up in Beijing. When she grew up, she came to Hong Kong alone to start a new life, but because she did not have a Hong Kong ID card, she suffered repeated setbacks in her job search.

By chance, Ma Li met Peter (Handle Lin) the young owner of the jewelry store. The two started dating. Because of their own opinions, their boyfriend refused to take her to meet her family.

One day, Ma Li met Wang Guowei (played by Zhong Zhentao), who returned to Hong Kong from the UK to develop. Guowei was handsome and kept asking about Mary. After a while, the two developed a good impression of him, but Wang Guowei was in a marriage. He divorced his wife while dating Ma Li, which was not very tenable from a moral perspective.

I have to interrupt here. When Zhang Aijia and Luo Dayou were in love, Zhang Aijia was still a married woman, and this relationship was not blessed from the beginning.

Zhang Aijia is the screenwriter of "When I wake up", and she should want to explain her relationship with Luo Dayou through this plot design.

At the end of the video, Ma Li saw through her boyfriend's true face and did not want to destroy Guowei's family. She left angrily and became a tour guide, and she woke up from her dream. However, at this time, she met Guowei again on the roadside, and the story came to an abrupt end.

Gong Li became the "tool person" of Chang Aijia to show herself

"When I wake up from the dream", Douban score is only 6.7 points, which is a lackluster work. The reason lies with Zhang Aijia himself.

You should know that the most common mistake a director makes is that he likes to adapt his own personal experience and make it into a movie. The director may indulge in the atmosphere he creates and admires himself, but it is difficult for the audience to empathize. This film is an obvious example.

"When I wake up from the dream" actually talks about the little things between Zhang Aijia, Luo Dayou and Lee Zongsheng, but it changed its taste after she adapted it.

In reality, a talented woman falls in love with two talented men. This is very common. Whether it is breaking up or getting involved in other people's families, you can attribute it to "The unruly and unruly of literary men and women" .

However, in the movie, the talented woman was modified into a working girl . This working girl has no special skills, and the only thing she can show off is her beauty. She was loved by two rich people one after another, one raised her as a canary, and the other abandoned her wife and children for her. This adaptation of the real story immediately became a Mary Sue drama with distorted views.

As the screenwriter, Zhang Aijia obviously projected the protagonist on himself. In the film, Ma Li was born in Hong Kong, grew up in Beijing, and came to Hong Kong to develop again. Outside the film, Zhang Aijia, his ancestral home is Wutai, Shanxi, and grew up in Taiwan, and developed in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. The two have a lot in common.

But when creating, Sylvia Chang was contradictory.

As a talented woman, she wanted to show her humility. She was afraid that the audience would see her shadow from the protagonist, so she wrote the protagonist as a working girl without an ID card, which was a thousand miles apart from her talented woman.

As a director, she also wanted to make this role beautiful, so she found Gong Li, who was in the limelight at the time.

Under Du Kefeng's photography, Gong Li was wearing modern clothes, beautiful, and her every move revealed a hint of royal sister. She was too strong with the rich second-generation Peter and Guowei, and she couldn't see any working girl.

In fact, Gong Li herself is not convinced of this role, and she is not attentive to perform. She is just a "tool person" for Zhang Aijia to show herself. Therefore, "Awakening" is Gong Li's most beautiful movie and the most mediocre work in her acting career.

The plot of this film is constrained by the creator's real experience and is concealed. In the end, it is very twisted and twisted and unconvincing.

However, some of the humanistic thoughts in the film are commendable. Hong Kong had not returned at that time, and many Hong Kong and Taiwanese people had a deep affectionate and ambiguous attitude towards the mainland.

Let’s talk about Hong Kong at that time. It seemed prosperous, but it revealed the exaggeration of being rich and rich. Use a line in the film to describe it:

"Hong Kong is a beautiful girl. Everyone wants to possess her, but no one wants to marry her. Everyone wants to share her happiness, but no one wants to understand her pain."

Let’s talk about the mainland. In the film, Guowei, played by Zhong Zhentao, came to the mainland for a business trip. His words and deeds reflect a complex psychology of Hong Kong people at that time.

There is an indescribable sense of superiority .

Guowei came to Beijing and was treated with preferential treatment everywhere as a Hong Kong businessman. The bigwigs from all departments came to welcome him.

Guowei asked the taxi driver how much money he made in a month, and the taxi driver said it was about 500 yuan.

Taxi driver asked him about his income. He answered very cunningly. He said that he earned more when he worked hard and earned less when he was lazy.

This condescending attitude is "very Hong Kong".

There is also a kind of Intimacy .

Guowei took a bus through Tiananmen Square. The mainlander introduced Tiananmen Square to him. He simply replied, "I knew it a long time ago." One sentence made people feel a kind of warmth inside.

There is also a kind of Crisis .

Although the mainland's economy is not as good as Hong Kong, it shows vitality everywhere in the film. Compared with the twilight of Hong Kong, many Hong Kong people feel the crisis.

There is also a kind of strangeness .

Zhang Aijia actually wanted to go deeper into the mainland, but she has been pampered since she was a child and it is difficult for her to penetrate to a deeper level. She can only explain it with a glimpse of the glimpse. The mainland part is still very stereotyped, and the sense of estrangement is obvious.

Many emotions are intertwined, making "When Awakening Dream" add a touch of reminiscence in addition to the messy plot.

4 years after the filming of this film, another Hong Kong director also filmed a similar theme, telling the story of a young man from mainland China who came to Hong Kong to work and fall in love with Hong Kong people, that is Chen Kexin 's " Sweet Honey ".

Zhang Aijia's "When I wake up" could have become a classic like "Sweet Honey", but she didn't know the true face of Mount Lu. It was because she was in this mountain that her excessive self-incorporation made the movie eventually become mediocre.
