Chapter 129 Differences in the new version
"The end of the show!"
When these two words appeared on the big screen, the subtitles began to scroll, and there was no applause in the cinema. Most of the audience seemed to be immersed in the slightly desolate music.
It took about a minute or two before there was a movement.
When they walked into the cinema one by one, the young people who were excited to try were speechless at this moment, cleaning themselves up, either lowering their heads, or still sobbing, leaving quietly.
Compared with the later version of this movie "Drinks and Sells Nothing" has some changes.
In terms of the script, Lin Jing filled in some details to make the plot smoother, unlike the original one, which is sensational for the sake of sensation, which makes her look a little stiff.
Because it has more details, it is ten minutes longer than the original version in terms of time.
As for other changes, there are two places.
One is that Xiaomei and several of her friends were watching the open-air movies, and there was a narration, "Why did the sacred War of Resistance leave stains, why did Huangdi's descendants kill their compatriots? The blood of young people flowed to protect the country, and the life of young people was ruined for violence. Ask..."
The original director added this narration, perhaps just to reflect the veteran's miserable life more realistically.
However, this political meaning, from the overall composition and theme of the film, is undoubtedly a superfluous way. Moreover, Lin Jing, who came from later generations, was from the mainland, could not accept this view from Taiwan, so she changed it when she was writing the script.
In addition to the scene of the war flashing back when Uncle Ya was playing the trumpet. In order to avoid the problem of the country and the communist, Lin Jing only placed the war scene on the battlefield of Anti-Japanese War, and only made a few flashback arrangements for a few shots.
The original flashback screen was filmed in a simple and empty way due to investment issues and looks fake.
The flashbacks of two or three shots discussed by Lin Jing and Ann Hui are undoubtedly better than the original version's comprehensive range. After all, this is not a war blockbuster.
Another change is the part of the final concert of the film.
On the stage of the final concert, when Amei sang "Wine Dry and Selling Nothing", there was no dance, and on the entire empty stage, she was the only one who was alone.
Some people may think that the ending of the original version is more natural and meaningful, and think that the appearance should show the prosperity of the stage, but the heart is suffering from painful struggles, which can further sublimate the theme.
But in Lin Jing's view, this contrast is too large and has not sublimated, but has played the opposite role.
In addition, most of the actors of this version of "Drunk Wine and Selling" have not changed. Only the adult heroine "Amei" replaced Liu Ruiqi with Liu Xuehua.
In the original history, in the 20th Golden Horse Awards, the original film was nominated for 11 nominations including Best Actor (Sun Yue), Best Supporting Actress (Jiang Xia), Best Original Music, Best Interlude, Best Recording, and Four Awards, and they won the Best Actor, Best Original Music, Best Interlude, and Best Recording.
Although the heroine starring Liu Ruiqi made her famous, it was not because of her outstanding acting skills, but because the movie itself was very good, otherwise she would not have not even been nominated for Best Actress.
This version of "Amei" was replaced by Liu Xuehua, and Lin Jing thought it was more suitable than Liu Ruiqi.
After more than ten seconds, she put down her hand and breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood had improved a lot.
"Are you feeling a little more comfortable?" Lin Jing asked.
"Your method is quite effective." Zhou Huimin squeezed out a smile and replied.
Click!
While the two were talking, a flash suddenly passed by.
Discovered?
After the flash, Lin Jing, who was puzzled, looked at him and saw a man who looked like a reporter not far away fiddling with the camera in his hand, as if he was looking for an angle to continue taking pictures.
"There are reporters, let's leave here first."
Lin Jing said softly, then pulled her up without waiting for Zhou Huimin to answer and ran to the parking lot.
"Hey, hey..." The reporter didn't expect Lin Jing to suddenly run and hurriedly chased after him.
But the parking lot was not far away. Lin Jing opened the car door and pushed Zhou Huimin in, then quickly started the car and left the moment the reporter had just chased him.
"Don't leave, I finally found out that I still have a lot of topics to ask..."
The reporter looked at the car that was moving away and jumped and shouted.
