Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Changes often start from a small thing. While Neon's entertainment news was focusing on reporting on "Onmyoji" and starring Hiroko Yakushimaru, Lin Daoqiu was busy filming "007:M".

All the major filming work was given to Brian De Palma, while Lin Daoqiu was only responsible for the plot of the villain played by Zeng Jiang.

Even this time, Lin Daoqiu didn't even avoid suspicion. The villain directly used Mr. Li's name. As for who this Li is, we have to look at the details in the movie.

After the falling out with Baodao, Lin Daoqiu couldn't control that much. Anyway, he just poured as much dirty water on Li Zhengnan's head.

Exaggerations in movies and TV dramas sometimes really make people believe it. If a lie is told a hundred times, it will be regarded as the truth. This is the experience Lin Daoqiu learned in later generations.

In Lin Daoqiu's writing, Mr. Li in "007:M" naturally does not have a good image. He is moody and will kill people if he does not go as he wants. He is also very suspicious and sometimes crazy. His goal is

Kill the boss of Yingjili, and then arrange the puppet you prepared to replace him. He is a proper super villain.

After shooting for several days, Zeng Jiang did a good job in portraying the character written by Lin Daoqiu. He showed the bad side of the other party vividly and vividly, which made people grit their teeth.

The person who has the most scenes with Zeng Jiang is Sophie Marceau. In "007:M", she is the adopted daughter who was raised by Zeng Jiang from a young age. Her ruthlessness was also learned from him.

Sophie Marceau had always made literary and drama films before, and she really didn't have much interest in such commercial films at first.

If it weren't for the fact that she could cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, and the other party specially arranged a villain role for her, Sophie Marceau would really not want to take on this drama.

"Although you are a big villain, there is an essential difference between you and Mr. Li. Mr. Li is a big villain. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. No matter who stands in front of him, he will get rid of them, including you.

…”

"But if you play the same role as Mr. Li, you will be assimilated, so you have to show a little bit of difference from him, otherwise it will be difficult for you to play this role."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want Sophie Marceau to play the villain too badly. Although he is also a villain, some villains are likeable and heart-warming, while others wish he could die immediately.

Lin Daoqiu wanted Sophie Marceau to show the former, while Mr. Li wanted the latter.

Sophie Marceau nodded while listening. What Lin Daoqiu wanted her to express was very specific, so she could find a way to present it according to Lin Daoqiu's requirements.

What Sophie Marceau fears most is the kind of director who doesn't even know what effect he wants to achieve. He keeps asking the other party to act. Even after acting many times, he is still not satisfied. In the end, it is just a waste of time.

After shooting for several days, Lin Daoqiu was quite satisfied with the result. At least Sophie Marceau achieved the effect she wanted, while Zeng Jiang's performance became better and better, exceeding Lin Daoqiu's expectations.

Mr. Li's role in "007:M" is very important, but his appearance time is not much. Most of the time he is hidden behind the scenes. He usually performs with his voice. He only appears in the final part of Gao Chao.

.

Therefore, Zeng Jiang did not have much screen time. His scenes were completed after two weeks of filming.

After Zeng Jiang's scenes were filmed, Lin Daoqiu called Brian De Palma over after editing and asked him to take a look at the scenes he had shot.

After all, Brian De Palma is the director of "007:M", and this part of the scene is the most critical part of "007:M". If he doesn't know or doesn't know what is going on here, then

I'm afraid it would be very difficult to connect it well, and it would even become very abrupt in the movie.

While watching, Brian De Palma's expression was very focused, because it was related to his connection with the entire "007:M" drama and subsequent filming work.

I have to say that compared to Lin Daoqiu, Brian De Palma feels that there are many differences between the two of them when it comes to making movies.

Lin Daoqiu is obviously more careful than him in handling details. Lin Daoqiu will give very clear shots of many parts of the shots and the characters' expressions and movements.

What Brian De Palma didn't know was that the reason why Lin Daoqiu did this was to deepen the audience's impression of Mr. Li as a villain and make everyone hate him.

No matter what bad things he did, the description of him must be enlarged to achieve the effect he wanted to show.

After the film ended, Brian De Palma felt as if he had been taught a lesson.

"I have always heard that Mr. Lin is very good at making movies. After seeing it with my own eyes this time, I feel that all the rumors are true."

Brian De Palma admires Lin Daoqiu very much. He even thinks that if Lin Daoqiu is willing to direct the entire "007:M" himself, then Brian De Palma believes that this drama will definitely become the most successful "007" movie.

A classic.

"Mr. Palma is so polite. This is only part of the plot of "007:M". The rest of the filming work has to be directed by you. After I finish filming these, my work on "007:M" will be over."

It’s over.”

Naturally, Lin Daoqiu would not direct this drama, otherwise he would not have hired Brian De Palma to entrust him with the important task.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured. After watching this part of the plot you filmed, I believe it will be of great help to my subsequent creation of this drama."

Now Brian De Palma just wants to take this tape back to the hotel and watch it over and over again, learn something from it that he didn't have before, and also provide some good suggestions for subsequent filming.

"I believe that Mr. Palma can definitely make this film well. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have invited you to direct this film. I have other filming work here. I'm afraid it will be a lot harder during this period."

You are."

Brian De Palma nodded. Lin Daoqiu's not intervening in the subsequent filming work was considered the greatest respect for him, so naturally he would not have any objections to this.

After Brian De Palma left, Lin Daoqiu took Snake Fang Jinsheng out of the screening room. He will probably spend most of the next time in Taiqin Film Village in Kyoto.

Because "Onmyoji" will enter the formal preparation stage next, if he, as the director, is not here, it will be difficult to do many things.

And this time, in addition to director Lin Daoqiu, he naturally also had to find some shooting assistants from Neon, such as assistant directors and the like.
