"The First Incense of Incense" is afraid of losing in casting. I hope to use my acting skills to make up for
Recently, a work that everyone is looking forward to is from Zhang Ailing's famous work "The First Incense of Incense Shavings".
Director Ann Hui is also a famous director. This year, he just won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 77th Venice International Film Festival. Representative works "Woman Forty", "Tao Sister", etc.
The drama romance film directed by her, plus the actress Ma Sichun, goddess Yu Feihong, your male god Peng Yuyan, temperament beauty Zhang Junning and new young actress Zhang Jianing, it would be strange if the audience doesn't expect it.
The story itself is very attractive. The heroine is a tragic story of Ge Weilong, a very ordinary female student in Shanghai, who is gradually degenerating.
When she went to Hong Kong to study, she defected to her aunt Mrs. Liang. But Mrs. Liang is not a good man, and she wants to use it even if she is her niece. She personally trained her to become a socialite who attracted men.
Ge Weilong had thought of getting out, but she lost to love and met a playboy, Qiao Qiqiao. She was immersed in it and could not save herself.
In order to keep Mr. Qiao, she also began to be obsessed with that kind of life of luxury. Whether it was out of love or material things, she chose to marry Qiao Qiqiao.
But this was not the beginning of happiness. In the end, she was willing to become a tool for Mrs. Liang and Qiao Qiqiao to make money.
Speaking of this, there are several logical questions. I think after clarifying it, I can understand why the audience disagrees with the casting of this movie.

First of all, my aunt Mrs. Liang, she should still be charming. But she can't be too beautiful. If her aunt is particularly beautiful and has special means, why should she use Ge Weilong? It can be seen that Ge Weilong's beauty should be above her aunt, so that she can be valued by Mrs. Liang, and Mrs. Liang will choose her as her prey.
So, choosing Yu Feihong as a role is a failure. When Yu Feihong goes to, he is a perfect goddess style!
in terms of temperament, she is very similar to Faye Wong, but her facial features are definitely more beautiful than Faye Wong. It can be said that Yu Feihong's facial features are as delicate as sculptures. It has been several streets behind many middle-aged actresses.
I personally think that those who can suit this character setting and superb acting skills can actually choose Qin Hailu.
Qin Hailu is also a film queen and a first-class actor in the National Theater. She has loved dancing since she was a child and has practiced Peking Opera performances hard, focusing on the sword and Ma Dan. Her beauty does not overshadow the audience, and makes people feel comfortable to see. Simply put, it is not too aggressive.
When he was young, Qin Hailu was able to take on the role and was competent as the heroine. Now she is in her early forties and will play "Aunt Mrs. Liang", which should be particularly exciting.

As for the heroine Ge Weilong. Ma Sichun is obviously not beautiful enough, and looks good alone. However, other actresses in this movie include Yu Feihong and Zhang Junning. Even the young actress Zhang Jianing is much thinner than her.
From the stills taken secretly by media people at the beginning, it can be seen that her arms are not thin enough and her waist is a little round.
This film was from the Republic of China period, and there were many cheongsam styles. The most suitable figure for cheongsam is white, thin and young.
If the movie is released, it will be very popular.
Director should add chicken legs to stylists and makeup artists. Because we know that styling and makeup are two magical skills, and Ma Sichun himself is the best actor and has the blessing of acting skills. It may be possible that there will be amazing makeup and styling when it is released.
(The following two pictures are Zhang Junning and Zhang Jianing respectively)
The role of Ge Weilong comes from Zhang Ailing, so it is not to say that an actor can be competent if he has acting skills. First of all, she should have a beauty that breaks through the ground.
was born in an ordinary family. His figure and appearance were not amazing at first, but he just had never met someone who knew how to shape her before.
But her aunt has seen countless people and has unique eyes. She has explored the beauty of Ge Weilong. Later, her beauty finally brought people a sense of stunning feeling, like a seed instantly breaking out of the ground.
From then on, she became famous in the social circle. When she stopped, Ge Weilong should not only look younger than her aunt, but more beautiful than her, and more attractive than her, so her aunt Mrs. Liang would not always refuse to let her go.
I believe the director should have had a headache when it comes to casting.
After all, you need acting skills, appearance, temperament and figure. There are really few mainland actresses who can compete for this role.
Some time ago, I felt that it would be great if Ma Sichun took over as "Mulan" and Liu Yifei came to play Ge Weilong.
Liu Yifei played Bai Xiuzhu in "The Golden Fenage Family" at the age of 17, but her acting skills were average at the time. Now after years of hard work, she should have risen many steps. Her personal image is quite in line with the character of Ge Weilong.
Zhao Liying can do it too.
At least they give people a petite and weak feeling. If a woman plays a role in a cheongsam flirting with the male protagonist, if her figure is too tall or strong, she will actually suffer because the audience's attention is entirely on her figure, so she will inevitably dance.

and Peng Yuyan. Have acted in "Roll! Chinese actor Eddie Peng from Ashin" has a very good figure. If Yu Feihong has a sculptural face, then Eddie Peng is praised by Jiang Wen for having a "sculptural good figure." Not only did he throw his muscles and skin color, he also had a honest smile. But Qiao Qiqiao is a man who eats soft food and hard food, and it is inconsistent no matter how you look at it.
is not saying that Eddie Peng is not good, but that he is not suitable for this role. He has taken on many advertisements since he was a child, because he was a very cute fat boy when he was a child, with an inexplicable sense of humor and was deeply loved by the financial supporter's father.
The original book describes Qiao Qiqiao's own eyes: he is very clear about his situation, has no money and no ability to survive, but he also wants to live a life of lust, so he can only marry a rich wife and support himself.
He was able to say to Mrs. Liang bluntly: "I don't have the autonomy of marriage. I don't have money, and I am used to blessings. I am born to be a material for recruiting a son-in-law." ...
. Peng Yuyan's image and temperament are easy to play a tough guy, but how can he convince the audience if he plays a novice with clear goals?
Some netizens said bluntly: "Look at Peng Yuyan's staring at people, like a spy lurking in an enemy-occupied area, he has to get off the car and catch people every minute."
Zhang Ailing's book fans were probably dizzy in front of the screen.
If it were Zhu Yilong, just play Qiao Qiqiao. Audiences who like Zhu Yilong even watch the advertisements he shot very carefully.
I won't tell you, I'm such an audience, haha.
will select the flirting dialogue between the two protagonists. The plot is when the heroine was mistakenly thought to be a prostitute by the sailor:
Qiao Qi smiled and said, "Who do those drunk loaches treat you as?" Wei Long said, "Originally, what is the difference between me and them?"
Qiao Qi controlled the roulette with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand and said, "You talk nonsense again." Wei Long smiled and begged, "Okay OK! I admit that I said the wrong thing. Why are there no difference? They had no choice, I voluntarily!"
I couldn't help but think about the scene of Zhu Yilong and Liu Yifei playing together.
But I also know that when the movie is released, it must be Peng Yuyan and Ma Sichun.
is too difficult, too difficult.
is written at the end: Everything has two sides, and now the audience is the first to complain about it. Maybe by then, the more you look at it, the more you find that there are Easter eggs.
After all, the screenwriter is Wang Anyi, the author of Mao Dun Literature Award winner, the photography director is Hong Kong gold medal photography Du Kefeng, and the talented Ryuichi Sakamoto as the music producer.
This movie is also the first time that Eileen Chang's "The First Incense" has been brought to the big screen, and the director's courage is commendable. Maybe, the second director who will remake will be happy in the future. Only classics are difficult to surpass, right?
