It's not Passing Through Your World, which just broke the box office record of love movies, but the new Ferry Man.

Before introducing Zhang Jiajia, it was generally said that he was a writer, the best storyteller in Weibo, and a beautiful golden retriever.

In the future, he can be said to be a serious director blessed by Wong Kar-wai.

Who can write movies and who can make movies? Looking at China, who do you think of? Han Han, Jing M.Guo (if he can write), Zhang Jiajia.

But in fact, Zhang Jiajia didn't set foot in the film industry this year. long time ago ...

20 1 1 Served as the screenwriter of "Knife Seeing Laughter" directed by Wu Ershan, and also nominated the Golden Horse Award for best adapted screenplay. Although it was only five years ago, it only hurt by comparison:

Director Guo's Tiny Times series was first launched at the end of 20 12.

The film "Never See You Again" directed by Han was released as early as 20 14.

The original work of Laughing Knife started in Changhe, not in Zhang Jiajia, so Zhang Jiajia was seriously working as a film writer.

At that time, he wasn't as popular as he is now, and the audience didn't pay attention to the signatures of the people behind the scenes, so in retrospect, it's like he experienced "what kind of experience it was to make a movie", and he was an intern and had no right to speak.

Later, the collection of novels "Passing Through Your World" became a hit, and it has been a best seller since it was published on 20 13.

It is said that there is also a trough in the middle, which may fall to the fourth and fifth bestsellers. I wonder how other writers who publish new books at the same time feel? This book has sold the adaptation rights of at least five films. Because it is a collection of stories, dozens of stories can be shot slowly, mixed or selected. Anyway, it is estimated that the name of this book will always be heard in the next few years.

The film Passing Through Your World was directed by Zhang, a good brother on the wine table. I think Zhang understands what he wrote.

So, this time, Zhang Jiajia is the original+screenwriter, and others are bringing money into the group. He is bringing stories into the group, and his sense of participation has increased a lot compared with when he was "laughing with a knife".

It also started from this film, because the story is his and the names and experiences of the characters are his, so although there is one, the audience did not neglect the screenwriter this time.

This is a film made of x films. Zhang contributed to the scenery of his hometown.

Back to the ferryman Maybe Zhang Jiajia himself didn't plan a breakthrough in advance. After all, he is a writer. It is very cool to sell the right to film and television adaptation. At best, I can be a screenwriter consultant, so I don't have to worry about other people's mistakes.

But this time he caught up with Wong Kar-wai. Anyone who has seen Wong Kar-wai's films has a common sense that every time a new film is promoted, the actors will focus on complaining. Wang Dao didn't have a script when he was filming, but he played it live. When editing, it is inevitable that whoever is not careful will shoot for nothing.

So how many Wong Kar-wai films Zhang zhen has made so far is simply countless. How many he has made is not equal to how many the audience has seen. Then this time, Wang Dao asked Zhang Jiajia to buy a story, which became a magical beginning. Maybe he just wants to buy a story.

Then I started making a movie with only a story and no script. In 45678?

The turning point happened on the day when he had a sudden brainwave. He first asked Zhang Jiajia to adapt the story into a script, and then said, you should be a director. So what are you doing, Wang Dao? The result is director Zhang Jiajia and producer Wong Kar-wai.

By the way, Wong Kar-wai also brought his own imperial team, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Takeshi Kaneshiro, to the new apprentice.

What I have seen so far is only a trailer for more than a minute. In addition to the two starring roles, there are Angelababy, Eason Chan and Lu Han. ...

All kinds of people who break the dimensional wall appear.

What's even more surprising is watching the trailer by yourself. Anyway, I asked several people, and it was a mess to see Jia Ling and Li Cansen appear in the same movie. I don't know if this is a Northeast comedy or a Mong Kok gangster movie.

I learned to write Chinese calligraphy when I was a child. Teachers often hold students' hands and teach a word hand in hand. The students work hard, but the words written are the god of the teacher.

It is said that before filming The Ferryman, Zhang Jiajia asked Wong Kar-wai that Wong Kar-wai should always keep an eye on the scene during the filming, and Wong Kar-wai did it, but at least judging from the trailer released now, it is not a 100% Wong Kar-wai movie.

Some pictures can show traces of Wong Kar-wai, lighting, lens angle and even temperament. But the story and characters are still Zhang Jiajia's own, that is, Wong Kar-wai's words, written by Zhang Jiajia himself, and only he knows best.

Three films, the sense of participation is getting deeper and deeper.

If we can put the soul into a test tube to see the specific scale, then every movie should drop a part of Zhang Jiajia's soul. There is the least knife smile. Up to now, there are the most ferrymen, and they are becoming more and more popular in Zhang Jiajia.

Even in Passing Through Your World and The Ferry Man, the hero's name is the same, called Chen Mo, and then when Zhang Jiajia promoted Passing Through Your World, he said that Chen Mo was actually him.

Whether Deng Chao plays him or Tony Leung Chiu Wai plays him, it's him.

"Zhang Jiajia", a name that used to appear as a writer, has now become a character in movies. He not only expresses his creative ideas through movies, but also simply puts his stories in front of the audience.

During the filming of The Ferry Man, Zhang Jiajia was called to the hospital twice. No one knew he was making a movie at that time. Looking back now, he may just care too much about his work and be too involved.

From the beginning of selling the story to Wong Kar-wai to the end of this year, the three years in between, although not too long compared with the films directed by Wong Kar-wai himself, have improved compared with other directors.

You know, "Passing Through Your World" started later than "The Ferry Man" and was released two months earlier. That movie has broken all kinds of box office records, and this movie has just released a trailer.

Besides watching how to be a director in The Ferry Man and how Tony Leung Chiu Wai plays the late Chen, I also want to know what happened to Jin Mao. In these three years, has he become a compassion that can control everything on the set?
