Wong Kar-wai fell in love with Takeshi Kaneshiro at first sight, but Peter Chan was his soul mate

I have always thought that Takeshi Kaneshiro is the most beautiful in Wong Kar Wai movies, but the cabinet owner believes that Takeshi Chan is Takeshi's favorite in this life. If you want to add a time limit to this love, the master hopes it will be 50 years. Just like Chen Kexin waited until he was 32 years old to start filming "If Love" that belongs to them since he was a child; and then waited until Awu reached 42 years old before letting him star in "Like You" that belongs to them.

Director Chen once had Takeshi Kaneshiro’s hairstyle~ Johnnie To gave him the fairy look, and Wong Kar-Wai gave him the youngest look

The youthful look was given by others

It is said that "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual." A Wu's entry-level master in the film industry was actually Johnnie To - A Wu's first electric shock debut was in Lao Du's "Modern Heroes" (1993, "The East" starring Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Michelle Yeoh) A short-lived flash in the pan in the sequel to "The Three Heroes", Awu, who was still less than 20 years old at that time, although he only appeared for less than ten minutes, he had the beauty of a radiant boy, very pure and full of fairy spirit.

Takeshi Kaneshiro guest-starred as a young monk in Johnnie To's "The Legend of Modern Heroes". He was a beautiful boy full of fairy spirit

After this first stunning appearance, Takeshi never followed the lead who led him into the industry again. Director Du Da has worked with him, but he has allowed Wong Kar-wai to take part in his own movies. The role of Wu in "Chungking Express" and "Fallen Angel" made Wong Kar-wai look like a shining young boy, and his cooperation with many big stars also made him famous. The style is doubled.

Wong Kar-Wai turned Takeshi Kaneshiro into He Zhiwu. Whether he is a policeman or a young and Dangerous gangster, he always has the look of a handsome boy ~ Peter Chan is Takeshi Kaneshiro's soul mate

This is the real Takeshi Kaneshiro

Chen Kexin discovered this fresh meat from "Chongqing Express" (Takeshi was really only 21 years old at the time), it was like falling in love at first sight, and the two of them were destined It is the fate to be each other's soul companions for a lifetime. Peter Chan claims to this day that he has never liked Xiaoxianrou. Although there were three other little kings (Nicky Wu, Su Youpeng, and Lin Zhiying) with Awu at the time, he fell in love with Awu alone, but he felt that Awu was not hot enough at the time. Wait until he matures.

Waiting until A Wu was 32 years old, Chen Kexin couldn't wait to find him to film "If Love". A Wu's enthusiasm has arrived, and with time and experience, Lin Jiandong's love for Sun Na can be heartbreaking. Midnight Only when the dream comes back can my heart be broken.

Peter Chan is really good at training actors, and he has directly won five best actresses (Maggie Cheung, Zhou Xun, Anita Yuen, Zhao Wei, Zhou Dongyu) and four best actor (Eric Tsang, Jet Li, Lai Lai, Huang Xiaoming), but only There is no place for Awu. But the master believes that Chen Kexin is the director who understands Awu best, no one else. The two collaborated for the first time in "If Love", which was like a knife, cutting the scars on the heart of Lin Jiandong played by A Wu several times, and many years later he still had to uncover the scars and tear them open again for everyone to see - - Cruel to the point of heartbreaking and "crazy".

Cute, cool, beautiful, and heartbroken, Ah Wu, Lin Jiandong, has done it all

But in Peter Chan's movie, Ah Wu lacks the boyishness in Wong Kar-Wai's film, and has more of it. The innocence and stability cut straight to the heart. Ah Wu frankly said that he became an actor because he thought it was fun to be in movies, and being a star was not something he wanted to do at all. But maybe he is so good-looking that most of the judges ignored his acting skills and never even gave him a nomination.

Well, Ah Wu is quite an actor, so Chen Kexin wrote a good play for him - the cabinet owner thought that "If Love" was the one where Ah Wu highlighted his acting skills. For the first time, after filming the movie with movie star Zhou Xun and singer Jacky Cheung, he wanted to adapt the movie into a wonderful stage play with his old friend Xi Zhongwen, who had produced the stage play "Snow Wolf Lake", but it ended without success. ...) It was so fun to play with Korean star Ji Jin Hee, and no one lost to anyone!

As for singing, Awu actually made his debut as a singer. The first MV stars Caini Yang~

MV video of the night we broke up: /x/page/o0395b6v85k.html

Chen Kexin’s setting of "If Love" is a musical, the film Every actor in the movie has to sing - Jacky Cheung (it is said that Chen Kexin's original choice for the director of Jacky Cheung was Feng Xiaogang, so there would be no way to make it into a musical...) almost takes over the singing of all the songs, and the singer is naturally not a guest. Next; Zhou Xun has been a singer and released an album before, so singing a song about the outside world is a small case; let Takeshi Kaneshiro sing? I almost forgot that A Wu was a singer when he debuted in Taiwan, and his master was the famous Chen Sheng! On the night when the famous song broke up during her debut, the heroine of the MV was Yang Caini, who later worked closely with her in "Fallen Angel" and was the only one who was rumored to have an affair with Wu (Kevin Chan only found out about this in an interview this year. He also joked that he only watched Awu is so beautiful that he didn’t even pay attention to who the heroine is...)! Therefore, it is actually not uncommon to see Awu perform in musicals.

It was only when Awu was 32 years old that Peter Chan made "If Love"; when Awu was 42 years old, he asked Awu to star in "Like You". "If Love" talks about the love, death and love breakup of the post-70s generation. "Like You", which is called a "sweet love film" by producer Chen Kexin, is for the post-90s generation. The subject matter is very realistic. CP doesn't match - but what Chen Kexin wants is this "three views are a bit crooked" view of love. Ah Wu was chosen early on, but she had to find a young girl born in the 1990s who was not too clumsy to create a sense of contrast. After Zhou Dongyu starred in "July and Ansheng", she became Chen Kexin's first choice for the female lead Gu Shengnan. Zhou Dongyu and Takeshi Kaneshiro (although the master thought Xiao Zhou's performance was pretty good, he still automatically split the screen with her and Takeshi), burdened with huge doubts from everyone on the crew, Chen Kexin also had to face the wind.

Which one is more lovable, the handsome old man acting cute or the tough boy acting cool?

The domineering president Lu Jin has the same identity, status and temperament as A Wu. All the conditions that Lu Jin should have are almost the same as those of the 42-year-old A Wu himself - this is why "Like You" is better than "The Ferry" "People" (The King of Sunglasses cast 40-year-old Ah Wu and Wai Tsai to play the role of handsome boys with no tone, which is indeed a bit inconsistent) The reason why people are more likable, so it is reasonable for Chen Kexin to win over Wong Kar-Wai this time thing.

The 42-year-old Awu has been molded into a true male god by the years, and he can easily capture the laughter and curses of adults and the things of young people

In fact, "Like You" had been promoted with the title "You Look Delicious" before, just like "If Love" had used the title "Forget Me Not" (the scene within the film was called "Forget Me Not") "Forget Me Not"). Peter Chan also has a good way of naming movies - back then "Sweetie" used "Little Love in the Big City" as the title (Lai Lai fell in love with this title so much that he later made another movie "Little Things in the Big City"). Teresa Teng passed away during the filming, and Peter Chan immediately used her classic song to change the title of the film, which later became famous.

Peter Chan bluntly said that in fact, "Like You" is more likely to create a huge buzz for the public than the previous title, and it is catchy - just like the anti-trafficking theme. Like "Dear", it adds a lot of warmth.

Even though the story between the domineering president and Cinderella is sweet, it can only end at the level of "I like you", and it ends well~

In fact, the master I think that "liking you" is also a fancy joke played by Chen Kexin - "liking you" between the domineering president and Cinderella can only stop at the level of "liking you". The rational and cold-hearted president is the domineering president. By nature, even if the romantic relationship with the warm-hearted little chef ends at the last sunset, it is just right that it ends abruptly (after that, you have to face reality, the post-90s generation is so realistic!) . Therefore, this time it is just "I like you", there is no "if", and it does not reach the level of "love", even if it makes people feel warm in their hearts.

Ah Wu is the key person in Chen Kexin's "relationship film"

Love alone is not enough

"Relationship film" is how Chen Kexin has always defined himself work. In his two important "relationship films", Awu is the key player in the relationship - regardless of love, Awu is the most commendable part.

Chan Ke-sin paid three visits to the Thatched Cottage when Ah Wu acted in "The Legend", because this film indeed broke Ah Wu's "three taboos" in accepting roles at the time - not to take on costume dramas, not to be too tired when filming, and not to interact with other male actors. Celebrities enjoy the male lead position... because once there is a competition for ranking, Ah Wu, who is low-key by nature, will definitely suffer. And this time he follows Andy Lau and Jet Li, who are both more famous and senior than Ah Wu... Just like Chen Kexin When Awu was desperate, Awu actually called Yingying.

The sloppy appearance still cannot hide A Wu’s good looks

"The War in Love" is Chen Kexin’s first time to shoot a period epic with multiple war scenes. The big male stars also contributed the most passionate passion, the sloppiest looks, and of course the most ecstatic acting skills in their lives - the one who did the most drama was actually the famous eldest brother Jet Li. He played scheming from beginning to end, and he won The Academy Award-winning actor and second brother Andy Lau has always wanted to break through in his acting skills, but this time he played an illiterate, rough and conscientious bandit leader in a very vulgar yet kind-hearted role.

Chen Kexin still couldn't bear to let Awu fall into pieces, but he still surprised Awu twice in the film, making a clean appearance~

The most surprising thing is of course He is the third brother of Jincheng Wuyan. The wildness of the wolf is mixed with the courageous rationality, but it is silky and gripping. Wu is responsible for all the tears that burst the embankment. The love story of the whole film was given to Jet Li, and Xu Jinglei (the first choice was Shu Qi, but Chen Kexin thought she was "too sexy" and wanted to find an inconspicuous actress to play the village woman. Xu Jinglei also contributed her best performance. Performance) plays this "beautiful trouble" who confuses the brothers, and the third brother Awu, who is the only one who has no emotional relationship with his sister-in-law, finally kills this trouble with his own hands for the sake of brotherly love.

The master thought that Lao Xu’s village girl look was stronger and more chewy than Zhao Wei’s village girl

In the end, the third brother Awu decided to Accepting the brotherhood of surrender, he killed Xu Jinglei, the troubled sister-in-law

Perhaps due to the length of time or in order to pass the trial, Chen Kexin finally reluctantly deleted the scene of A Wu assassinating his elder brother and being executed by Ling Chi. The 4-minute long close-up shot, Awu's layered performance from anger to despair to numbness to regret is a masterpiece. I really owe Awu a movie star! The master of the pavilion specially found this footage, so everyone can experience it together.

Ah Wu’s performance is so heartbreaking. Director Peter Chan, are you too cruel?

Later, Peter Chan made another costume detective action film "Martial Arts", and Takeshi became a Qing Dynasty figure. The famous detective Xu Baijiu speaks with a Sichuan accent (after Wu studied the character, he deliberately added a Sichuan Bazi accent to highlight the character's personality). He is thoughtful and inhumane. He only recognizes the law and shows no mercy. Even if the whole village does not think Liu Jingui (Donnie Yen) ) is the murderer, Xu Baijiu still firmly believes in his inference. The "relationship" in "Martial Arts" is the relationship between law and punishment. This is the first time Awu has played such a special role, and it is also one of the Pavilion Master’s favorite Awu characters.

Even if he plays a thoughtful, unsmiling, cold detective, Ah Wu can still show an indescribable cuteness~

Peter Chan really loves Ah Wu’s Xu Baijiu so much that he deliberately There are two sides for him in the film - when the rational Xu Baijiu is struggling with a dilemma, the other emotional Xu Baijiu will pop out of his mind to "stir up the situation". But it is a pity that this imaginary warm man has too little writing and is easily ignored. The most touching thing is the ending. When Xu Baijiu was dying, he saw this illusion and turned away with a smile. The aloof Xu Baijiu also breathed his last breath with relief - this was the point of tears for the pavilion master.

Xu Baijiu, who is new here

Xu Baijiu, who was still a rookie and fast at that time

Xu Baijiu, who is also very cute when handling cases

Xu Baijiu, who is walking lightly

On his deathbed, the master of the pavilion has become a tearful person~

Other husbands are temporary, but Takeshi Kaneshiro, the husband, is eternal!
