Chapter 48 Dare to go all out: Maggie Cheung

Maggie Cheung is an actor who dares to go all out for the play.When we first cooperated, I was taken very badly. In the second episode of "Project A", Maggie Cheung, Rosamund Kwan and Carina Lau are all in it.There was a scene where Maggie Cheung, Rosamund Kwan and I were being chased on the roof, and the three of us were hanging there. It was very interesting when we filmed that scene. At that time we were standing on a high place, walking and chasing after each other.There are usually two shooting methods for this kind of scene, one is to jump off the tent, and the other is to sit on a basket.When the few of us ran out, Guan Zhilin was at the front. I told her, if someone chases you, you should jump off.She said, ah!I can not!I told her again, it is very good for me to give you this scene, if you go down from here, you only need to dance a little to steal the show.As a result, she went up to the roof and looked down, she was immediately dumbfounded, stared at me, said a foul word, and then called me crazy: "You think I'm your family class!" She turned her head and walked away, ignoring me, Leave me there and make me lose face.

As soon as I turned around and saw Maggie Cheung, I said to her again: "Come on, this one is very stealthy, and it's very simple. Take a look first, and I'll ask someone to demonstrate it to you. Look at that tent, shed. , it’s all done, then you’ll be like skateboarding.” She nodded dubiously. At that time, our set had three consecutive floors from top to bottom. I first asked someone to spread the cardboard boxes on the first floor, and asked her to dance for a try. She tried it once and said, "OK." Said: "Look, we can't jump the first floor by yourself, and let a double do the second floor. If the shots don't connect together, it won't look good, and the audience will think it's fake. We should shoot it in one shot."

I asked someone to move the cardboard box to the second floor: "You jump from the first floor to the second floor first, it's not very high, and the cardboard box is at the bottom, it must be fine." She gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, I'll try." I was very happy when I heard it, and hurried everyone to act and get the scenery done.At this time, Rosamund Kwan was looking at us in the dressing room below, and I thought to myself: "Hmph, I'm going to shoot her better and take your scene away, who told you not to listen to me!" Then I went up and shouted Action, Maggie Cheung jumped down, with two heavy thumps, and finally landed on the cardboard box.I said, "Okay! Can we have another one?" She said slowly, "Okay, yes."

She went up to do it again, and I went over to do it again: "Very good! Are you confident now?" A cardboard box, but I'll catch you below, how about that?" She looked at me, and after a second, she suddenly burst into tears! I was frightened, so I quickly said, "Okay, okay, don't dance anymore." After comforting her for a long time, she was so wronged that she died.In fact, she is really quite courageous, and she also believes in me.Although I wasn't 100% confident at that time, I definitely didn't want to hurt them, it was all because of their good performance.The actions they are asked to do are also relatively safe. I have imagined many possibilities in my heart, and I asked them to do them because they are unlikely to cause any problems.Even if I really want to shoot like that, I would rather catch her if I have something to do.

I still think of a small episode, when I was making a music album in Taiwan, there was a song called "You Give Me a Sky", and I was planning to shoot the MV.I was dissatisfied with the filming of the original production team, and insisted on shooting on film myself. At that time, I asked Maggie Cheung to help me play the heroine. The whole process was based on the film's equipment and production specifications.That collaboration between the two of us should have set a record for the highest-profile MV in history.
