In "Memoirs of a Geisha", there are only four formal conversations between the president and Sayuri, each lasting less than two minutes. However, it describes the process of a pair of lovers getting acquainted, getting to know each other, misunderstanding, and reuniting, which runs through Sayuri's life. The whole movie.
In the story "Memoirs of a Geisha", Chiyoko was born into a poor fisherman family. Because she could not survive, her parents sold her to a geisha house in Kyoto.
Chiyoko worked hard in the geisha house and was bullied. She always wanted to escape.
Later she received the news that her parents had passed away, she lost contact with her sister, and lost hope in life.
One day, she was sitting by a wooden bridge, feeling sad. The president happened to pass by the bridge...
...
“Get ready, Action!”
The president, played by Yang Ye, is in a suit and leather shoes, with his hands in his pockets, leading two geishas across the bridge.
Looking back inadvertently, I saw Chiyoko, played by Tang Yan, sitting sadly by the bridge.
“The weather is so nice, why are you sad?”
Chiyoko turned to look at him but said nothing.
Yang Ye squatted down with interest and asked with concern: "Did you fall?"
Chiyoko turned her head away embarrassedly.
Yang Ye continued: "Why are you so shy? Don't feel embarrassed. Everyone falls."
Chiyoko finally raised her head and looked at Yang Ye curiously.
Yang Ye pointed to the geisha holding an umbrella behind him and said to Chiyoko with a smile: "Did you see the beauty in green clothes? When she was still a maiko, she once fell down while dancing in clogs."
The beauty smiled and had to agree: "It's true!"
"Look now, how elegant she is, don't be afraid, look at me, what's your name?"< br>
Chiyoko did not answer.
“Do you like sweet plums or cherries?”
Chiyoko looked at the stall selling shaved ice, unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, and finally spoke: "You mean to eat it?"
"I prefer the sweet plum flavor, come on!"< br>
Yang Ye took Chiyoko to the shaved ice stand: "I want both flavors!"
Chiyoko felt sweet as she ate the delicious shaved ice.
She saw the geisha’s red lips not far away and deliberately pressed her lips against the shaved ice.
The red cherry juice dyed her lips rosy. She raised her head, smiled sweetly, and said, "Now I am also a geisha."
Yang Ye smiled happily, and he looked into Chiyoko's eyes. , said sincerely: "Your eyes are beautiful!"
"My mother passed it on to me!"
"She is very good to you, right!"
< br>“You’re nice to me too!”
Chiyoko said, cherry juice flowing down her lips and onto her chin.
Yang Ye wiped away the cherry juice on her chin easily: "Smile for me, okay?"
Tang Yan opened her mouth and smiled sweetly.
Looking at Xiao Tang Yan’s sweet and lovely smile, Yang Ye secretly sighed that Spielberg’s eyes were really poisonous.
Tang Yan's smile was as contagious as Mingcai's, especially at such a young age, it was even more adorable.
It is very suitable to use her to play the childhood Chiyoko, even more suitable than the original Empress Shou Shou Hana.
Because Queen Shou Shouhua and Zhang Ziyi are completely different types, you can't imagine that she will look like Zhang Ziyi when she grows up.
"Very good, this is a gift for you!"
Yang Ye gave Chiyoko a sum of money: "Take it to buy food, promise me, don't frown next time you fall. !”
He touched Chiyoko’s little face and walked away with the two geishas in his arms.
...
“From that moment on, I was no longer an empty little girl, I had a definite goal in my heart.
I regarded the process of becoming a geisha as achieving this goal. The only way to do that is to...enter his world!"
The money the president gave Chiyo was enough for her to eat for a month, but she ran to the shrine and offered it all to the god, leaving only The handkerchief that holds the money.
She prays that one day she can become a geisha and meet the president again.
...
Nakamori Akina looked at the little Tang Yan who was ringing the bell at the shrine from a distance, and suddenly said: "I don't know why, I always feel that my destiny is somewhat similar to Sayuri."
Yang Ye asked: "How to say?"
"Onii-chan, before I met you, I never thought about what my future would be like. It's like Chiyoko met the president and had a goal in life. Likewise, when I met you, I also found my own path."
Yang Yexin said it was true. Sayuri later became the most popular geisha in Kyoto, and Akina Nakamori also became the most popular singer in Japan!
However, the role of Yang Ye in it is actually very mysterious.
Because even without Yang Ye, Akina Nakamori would still have become the most popular singer in Japan.
However, no one in this world except Yang Ye would think so.
Everyone knows that it was Yang Ye who discovered the rough jade of Nakamori Akina, which prevented the "beautiful jade from being covered in dust".
In Japan, geisha are different from "travel girls" who sell their bodies.
The true identity of geisha is actually entertainers. They only sell their skills but not their bodies. Their main job is to entertain guests and entertain guests.
When people call geisha, they can only say "geisha" and never "prostitute".
Geisha mainly come from the daughters of poor families. They are sold to geisha houses since they were young and are called hina geisha.
Hinagi is mainly responsible for the daily cleaning of the geisha house and taking care of the adult geisha's life.
During this period, they have to learn culture, etiquette, language, singing and dancing, musical instruments and other courses.
In a sense, this is in line with the "trainee" system that became popular in Asian countries later.
......
Mameha, a famous geisha in Japan, came to the geisha house and recognized Chiyoko as her sister.
Under her strict training, Sayuri began to learn various skills and was gradually trained to become a top geisha.
During this process, the president occasionally appeared near Sayuri, but the two had almost no conversation.
Sayuri always remembers the president, but the president seems to have forgotten her.
Once, Sayuri was invited to enjoy cherry blossoms, but she was treated as a rare object by a group of ladies, who surrounded her and took pictures.
Just when she was in great embarrassment, the president appeared and rescued her.
They walked together under the cherry blossom trees and chatted...
Sayuri told the president: "When I was a child, one day when I was walking on the bank of the Sunagawa River, a handsome young man bought me shaved ice. Eat..." Unfortunately, the president didn't say anything. He just told Sayuri that his brother Shen Junhe liked her very much.
Later, Sayuri set up a trap in order to get out of her own predicament, but unexpectedly she was betrayed by her sister, causing her to part ways with the president.
Sayuri knew that the relationship between her and the president was over, and she sadly threw away the handkerchief the president gave her.
……
After the end of World War I, Sayuri met the president again.
Sayuri wanted to explain the misunderstanding, but the president told her: "No need to explain, I made a big mistake."
"I don't understand..."
"Maybe... …I should tell you the truth!”
“The truth?”
“Many years ago, I was going to the theater and saw a little girl crying by the river. I bought it for her. A cup of shaved ice.”
Sayuri was shocked: "You know I am that little girl?"
"How else would Mameha help you?"
"You asked her to help me!" Sayuri turned around go.
“I owe Shen Junhe a life, so...when I see him falling in love with you, I can only accept it silently.
But, I can’t bear it anymore, I hope...I It's not too late.
Don't be afraid, look at me, Chiyo! "
Sayuri's heart was turbulent and her chest was ups and downs. Finally, she turned around, looked at the president, and said with tears: "Every step I take since I first saw you. , all to get closer to you. "
There were tears in the president's eyes. He gently stroked Sayuri's cheek and couldn't help kissing her lips.
Yang Ye hugged Nakamori Akina, and the two of them were in love.
Sitting in front of the monitor, Spielberg was beaming. He thought these two acted so well.
Akina Nakamori has not received professional training, and she has no acting skills.
But when playing the role of Sayuri, she always felt that the character and her destiny magically fit together.
It was Yang Ye who brought her to Hong Kong and asked the Japanese idol Yamaguchi Momoe to accept her as a disciple, and she grew up to become the most famous singer in Japan.
In the process, she fell in love with Yang Ye. Unfortunately, Yang Ye was the lover of her teacher Momoe Yamaguchi.
She couldn't pass this test, and Yang Ye didn't express anything to him.
Until one day, she was disheartened and ready to find someone to marry.
Yang Ye suddenly jumped out and caused a huge stir. He revealed a secret that shocked the world, ruined Kondo Masahiko and disrupted her marriage.
Yang Ye told her: "Yes, I like you. I took you to Hong Kong, sent you on your debut, helped you write songs, and asked you to film movies, all because... I like you and I want to be satisfied. Your wish will give you a dazzling life..."
That day, she told Yang Ye: "Do you still remember the story in "Memoirs of a Geisha" that you told me? Sayuri worked so hard to become a geisha? The geisha just wants to be close to the president, and the president actually loves Sayuri."
Yang Ye said: "Remember!"
"Onii-chan, you know, every step I've taken, since I met you at the ramen restaurant, is to get closer to you."
That day, at the airport, they exposed themselves They opened each other's hearts and kissed each other passionately.
To each other, right now!
Time and space are intertwined, reality and illusion are intertwined, and the kiss that finally reveals the truth, the scene merges, heaven and man become one, making Spielberg dance for joy!
"Perfect performance, this is the most touching scene in this movie! Nick, Akina, you are amazing, I love you!"
...
Yang Ye originally wanted to finish filming and rush back to Hong Kong to attend the Golden Melody Awards.
However, when the God of Wealth comes to Shanghai, he will inevitably have to deal with his colleagues in the film studio.
So, after filming his part, Yang Ye went to visit Shanghai Film Studio.
With the economic strength of Shanghai, Shanghai Film Studio was once the most outstanding film production base in China and has shot many classic films.
For example, "Legend of Tianyun Mountain", "Old Stories in the South of the City", "Furong Town", "Wrangler"...
They are both well-received and box office hits, and their strength is second to none among the eight major film studios.
However, economic power cannot defeat political power after all, and it’s all over in the end!
Yang Ye, accompanied by Zhong Xiaomin, director of Shanghai Culture and Tourism Bureau, and Zhu Yongde, director of Shanghai Film Studio, took a casual tour of the factory.
This time Spielberg came to Shanghai to shoot "Memoirs of a Geisha", and Shanghai Film Studio was the co-producer.
In order to shoot the movie, Spielberg built a Japanese town in Songjiang. After the movie is released, there will definitely be many tourists coming here to check in, which will generate good economic benefits.
The Bureau of Culture and Tourism and Shanghai Film Studio tasted the sweetness and decided to continue to trick Yang Ye into investing in Shanghai.
After all, the new Guangming Film and Television City invested by Yang Ye in Shenzhen is now famous throughout the country.
In China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, people who shoot Ming and Qing themes now go to Shenzhen to make money.
During this period, Guangzhou Street, Hong Kong Street, and Macau Street were built, and many period dramas can also be filmed there.
Jealous!
When the director opened his mouth, Yang Ye got what he wanted. He said: "Shanghai is the largest city in China and the business card of China. Chen Long used to make Western movies in Hollywood. The name of the movie was "Shanghai Noon" because foreigners When it comes to China, we know Shanghai, and of course I am willing to invest here.
When Shay and Spielberg of United Artists came to Shanghai to choose a location to shoot "Memoirs of a Geisha", they chose Songjiang. They have a good vision. I think this Japanese town will definitely attract a lot of tourists when the movie is released.
For example, I have invited my Japanese friends to film in Shanghai. Friends come to Shanghai to visit. I believe that if there are similar themes in the future, they will choose to shoot in Shanghai. This can save a lot of production costs.”
If no crew comes here to shoot in the future, once the novelty of tourists is gone. , this town will soon be abandoned.
However, it would be different if a Japanese crew could be attracted to film here.
Tokyo and Shanghai are separated by a sea. They are not far apart. There are frequent exchanges between the two cities.
In this era, "Eastern Drifting" was very popular, and hundreds of thousands of Shanghainese went to Tokyo to study and work.
Shanghai TV also filmed a TV series called "Shanghai People in Tokyo", which shows that I have a deep love for Tokyo.
There are also girls from Shanghai who work as "teachers" in Tokyo. One of them is Emili, who has many works.
Her unique skill is to talk to her husband in Shanghai on the phone in fluent Chinese while being fucked by a male actor.
When I can't help but scream, I will lose my temper with my husband, and then find an excuse to hang up the phone. It's very exciting!
The Japanese also like Shanghai very much. There are 100,000 Japanese living in Shanghai. The Gubei New District in the southwest corner of Shanghai is the area where Japanese people gather.
The title "Magic City" was actually given by the Japanese.
The director and the director were very happy when they heard that Yang Ye was going to introduce a Japanese crew to Shanghai for filming.
When the Japanese crew comes to Shanghai to film, it actually saves a lot of production costs than when they film in Tokyo.
Their basic necessities, food, housing and transportation in Shanghai have provided economic benefits to Shanghai.
At the beginning of the reform, the economy was in charge, making small money and improving people's living standards were the first priority.
A few people were walking and chatting, and walked into a studio where a movie was being shot.
Zhu Yongde introduced: "This is a criminal investigation film we are filming, called "Urban Detective", starring Liang Boluo and Chen Hong, actors from our Shanghai Film Studio. Director Yang will give you some guidance."
Yang Ye said humbly: "Guidance is out of the question, everyone communicates with each other."
But in his heart, he thought, I must give Chen Hong some serious guidance! (End of this chapter)
