Superstar Couple

Chapter 111 Just Live Simple

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed in many places, and the crew was running around. Zhang Le, as the director, needless to say, but among the actors, Yang Xiner undoubtedly had the most to do. None of Wudang Mountains, Bamboo Sea in South Shun, Desert, Huangshan and other places were left behind.

Of course, even if Yang Xiner's role in the film does not need to go to so many locations, as the producer of this film, she will naturally follow the crew. Although her producer is just a name.

She could have not followed, but she did. Rather than saying that she went with the crew, it would be better to say that she went with Zhang Le.

Running around with the crew is undoubtedly tiring. But the most tiring thing about this drama is not this, but the inner tiredness from trying to figure out the characters.

"It's finally over. From now on, I'll take fewer films like this. I'm too tired. People are tired, and my heart is even more tired." Yang Xiner said to Zhang Le. As she spoke, she hugged Zhang Le from behind and said, "I know you like to shoot commercial films, how did you make such a high-quality film this time? Emotion, reason, desire, what you shoot is not martial arts, but culture, or human nature."

"You're right, it's too tiring to shoot this type of film." Zhang Le smiled and said, "In the future, I will make some commercial blockbusters. Although the award-winning director has a relatively higher status in the circle, there is no way to make money. The director is more popular. This movie, I am above the box office, I lack confidence!"

I don’t know if I don’t shoot it. Even with the original version as a reference, Zhang Le still feels very tired when shooting this film, exhausted physically and mentally. This kind of tiredness is not physical, but mental and heart tired.

Before shooting this film, Zhang Le had already done a lot of homework. He played back the original version countless times in his mind, and studied all the comments and reports about this film in his mind. I thought it would be smooth shooting. But when it was actually filming, Zhang Le felt very strenuous.

I have to admit that Zhang Le made this film a little too much. No diamonds, but took a porcelain job.

This film not only has vivid characters, twists and turns of the story, fresh and refined sound and pictures, lifelike, but also rich cultural connotations.

The original director skillfully integrated traditional Chinese martial arts elements into landscape culture and Chinese calligraphy, and throughout the development of the film's storyline. Chinese calligraphy emphasizes softness and strength, while landscape embodies a sense of freedom.

For these, Zhang Le is indeed lacking. For these, Zhang Le did too much homework, and was afraid that a classic would become a bad movie.

Zhang Le is a strong person, since he shoots, he must shoot well. It's not better than the original, but it can't be worse than the original either. There is the original version as a reference, but it is still worse than the original version, that is a failure. Failure, this is obviously not allowed by Zhang Le.

Therefore, the filming of this drama was very slow, and many scenes were repeatedly pondered by Zhang Le. The pursuit of excellence made the entire crew suffer and almost collapsed.

During the filming, Zhang Le was not only strict with himself, but also with everyone. From the crew to all the actors, almost everyone has been scolded by Zhang Le. Even an international superstar like Li Jie is not immune.

Yang Xiner did not escape either. It's just that she understood Zhang Le and endured it silently. She didn't want to act in such a movie again, and she didn't want Zhang Le to make such a movie. It's not that she can't stand being wronged, but that she loves Zhang Le.

She can see most clearly how much Zhang Le paid for this film. She still would rather Zhang Le make some simple videos. Just like people, it's better to keep life simple. If it is too complicated, the simple happiness may be lost.

She didn't want to affect Zhang Le, so when the film was almost finished, she said what she just said.

"Human nature is too complicated, and too few people understand it!" Yang Xiner said with a sigh. Looking at Zhang Le, he smiled and said, "You lack confidence in the box office of this film. I am different from you."

The investment in this film is huge, almost breaking the record of domestic investment. Of course, that investment is not as good as those Hollywood blockbusters that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. But compared with those big domestic productions, it is really a big production.

Less than outside, more than inside!

There is no lack of news in the entertainment industry. Zhang Le and Yang Xiner's new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was full of excitement when it started filming in July, but now it has already lost its topicality after more than four months.

And Zhang Le and others were also very low-key, and the film's finalization was also very low-key. No finalization meeting was held, and no media was even notified. Everyone seems to have forgotten that there is such a movie.

In the few shots, Zhang Le and Yang Xiner seemed to disappear in front of the media. But the two attracted public attention again, not because of their film, but because of their names in the announced guest list for the Spring Festival Gala. And the two are no longer performing in the form of a chorus.

The two will each sing a song on the stage of this year's Spring Festival Gala. The program group of the Spring Festival Gala did not announce what songs the two sang, but those who are familiar with Zhang Le and Yang Xiner know that the songs they sang on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala must be new songs.

As for what kind of new song it will be, only then will we know. However, with Zhang Le's musical talent, the song wouldn't be too bad.

The Spring Festival Gala has been complained about every year, but it is still the most watched program.

Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er disappeared for a few months, but their popularity did not disappear. On the contrary, because they had no news for several months, their appearance attracted more attention.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" finished filming, Zhang Le was busy with post-production, and Yang Xiner didn't take other jobs. She needs to rest and relax. Playing the role of Yu Jiaolong, she is too involved in the play and needs to relax herself.

In order to be considerate of Zhang Le who is busy with work, Yang Xiner took over the housework slowly. However, in fact, there is no housework, laundry and mopping the floor, etc., are almost all solved by the part-time aunt. What Yang Xiner does most is cooking and washing dishes.

It's a pity that Yang Xiner really doesn't have this talent.

You can go to the hall, but you can't enter the kitchen! These words are simply the truest portrayal of Yang Xiner.

"Let me do it!" Zhang Le said with a smile. Seeing some signs of flying around in the kitchen, he had no choice but to speak.

"I'll help you." Yang Xiner didn't refuse, but said with a smile.

"Forget it! Go read the book, or read the script I wrote these two days." Zhang Le smiled and said, "The kitchen fume is not good for your skin."

"Am I very useless?" Yang Xiner didn't turn around and leave like before, but asked suddenly.

"Why do you ask that?" Zhang Le looked over suspiciously, seeing Yang Xin'er showing a disappointed expression.

"When you come back from work every day, you still have to cook for me. But I can only watch helplessly." Yang Xiner said, "In fact, I really want to cook you a meal. Even if it's just a meal."

"Silly girl!" Zhang Le tapped Yang Xiner's forehead, then took the apron she had just put on, wrapped it around Yang Xiner, and said, "Then this dinner will be served by our Chef Yang, and I will help you .”

"You're so kind!" Yang Xin'er smiled, glanced at the kitchen, and asked in a daze, "What should I do first!"
