However, the dream lover of Chow Yun Fat and Brigitte Lin is controversial, because the second girl is "devoted to art".

From 65438 to 0986, Chow Yun Fat played the supporting role in John Woo's classic gunfight film "The True Color of Heroes", but was nominated for the role of Mark in the film, and finally won the Best Actor in the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards.

This indicates that after leaving TVB, Fage finally gained a firm foothold in the film circle.

This year is not only a bumper year, but also a busy year for Fage. He participated in 10 movies a year. Before the success of Hero, he had acted in five films. Although I worked hard, I never made a breakthrough, which was once considered as "box office poison".

Among these films, the fantasy film Dreamer starring Brigitte Lin is a special one. The film was directed by Hong Kong screenwriter Kong-Kin Yau and Oscar-winning artist Tony Au, and co-written by Wen Juan. It tells a story that spans more than 2000 years.

One,

Brother Fage plays a conductor named Song Yu in the film. He and his girlfriend went to a concert in Hong Kong. After arriving in Hong Kong, he began to hallucinate. He saw a woman of Qin dynasty dancing in front of him, but it was like a dream, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Song Yu dreamed that a Terracotta Warriors and Horses similar to himself surfaced. There is a ruby on the chest of the Terracotta Warriors. After waking up, he was puzzled until one day his girlfriend took him to see his grandmother, which revealed the secret of his previous life.

Gorgeous grandma is an old woman from Ask M. She knows how to touch bones for divination. She figured out that Song Yu was an ancient person in the Qin Dynasty, and now she is 2 197 years old. She came into this world to end a long-term relationship. When Song Yu was dubious, grandma advised her granddaughter to leave Song Yu and not to interfere with his love with other women.

Song Yu and Hua Li were surprised, but they didn't take it to heart. Until one day, when he visited an exhibition of Qin terracotta warriors and horses, he saw that the image of the terracotta warriors and horses was very similar to that in his dream, which reminded him of his dreams. At the same time, he met a very special woman.

This woman is jewelry designer Zhang Yuexiang (played by Brigitte Lin). She often dreams that she is in the Qin Dynasty, with an ancient man who looks exactly like her. At the end of the dream, the ancients were strangled and a piece of white jade was dyed red with blood.

Yue Xiang was also surprised to see Song Yu. She didn't expect that there really was a person in the world who looked exactly like the person of her dreams. At first, she was afraid to face Song Yu, but later they soon got to know each other and spent a happy night together.

In order to uncover this mystery that spans more than 2,000 years, Yuexiang took Song Yu home to see her father Zhang Kenan. It turned out that Zhang Kenan was once a member of the mainland scientific research team. Twenty-eight years ago, he and his colleagues Chang Li and Wang Han excavated the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province, and found a terracotta warrior with a ruby inlaid on its chest.

When they were pulling the Terracotta Warriors back to the laboratory by boat, Wang Han suddenly went crazy and wanted to keep the ruby on the chest of the Terracotta Warriors for himself. Chang Li rushed forward to compete with him. In the process of robbing, both of them fell into the water, and the terracotta warriors and horses also fell into the water and disappeared.

Zhang Kenan left the waters by boat because he was afraid. My wife gave birth to Yuexiang on the boat that night, but she died in childbirth. The time is1the eighth day of the fifth lunar month in 957. At the same time, a baby boy named Song Yu was born in Xi 'an, which is exactly the same as Yuexiang's date of birth.

Later, Wang Han drowned, but Chang Li returned to the archaeological team with Redjade. After 28 years of hard work, he finally became a famous archaeological expert on terracotta warriors and horses in the mainland. He organized this exhibition of terracotta warriors and horses in Hong Kong.

The terracotta warriors and horses that sank into the water suddenly surfaced recently. Although it is a state secret, Chang Li secretly took photos and showed them to Zhang Kenan for study. After Song Yu saw the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the memory of the Qin Dynasty, which had been buried for more than 2,000 years, emerged little by little.

It turned out that in the Qin Dynasty, he was a craftsman captured by Qin Shihuang and helped Qin Shihuang build a mausoleum. After the completion of the project, Qin Shihuang was afraid that he would reveal the secrets of the mausoleum and ordered him to be executed.

Yuexiang was the wife of a craftsman at that time. She crushed her husband's body and shaped it into a terracotta warrior. She also killed herself with a dagger.

Before she died, she lay prone on the Terracotta Warriors, and the white jade worn on her chest was dyed ruby by blood and embedded in the Terracotta Warriors. Their souls also stayed on the Terracotta Warriors, and they didn't have a chance to reincarnate until they were excavated by the archaeological team.

Although this life can be repeated, Song Yu had been with Gorgeous for 8 years before meeting Yuexiang, and they were already planning to get married. Song Yu is also in a dilemma.

And gorgeous, because she couldn't let Song Yu go, she chose suicide and caught them off guard.

Although Song Yu and Yue Xiang are soul mates, they can't face the gorgeous death. In the end, I couldn't get together because of my guilt about gorgeous.

Second,

If soul crossing can also be considered as crossing, Dream Man is the earliest Qin-modern crossing film in China. This is three years earlier than The Love of Ancient and Modern Statues written by Li Bihua and directed by Cheng Xiaodong, and this film by Cheng Xiaodong obviously borrowed the creativity of Dream Man.

However, The Battle of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Ancient and Modern Qin Dynasty is higher than Dream Man in terms of film structure, story integrity and investment scale. And Cheng Xiaodong took the crew to the mainland for filming, in which the sidewalk was very attentive, and it was a commercial blockbuster of 1989, which was unmatched by the low-cost dream man.

Therefore, "The Battle of Ancient and Modern Qin Figurines" later won a box office success of 20.99 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the seventh box office of the year; The box office of Dream Man was only HK$ 7.29 million, which didn't cause much repercussions. The film won four nominations for the Hong Kong Film Awards, and finally won only one award for best original film music.

However, the whole movie Dream Man is full of time and space switching between ancient and modern times, flashbacks between memory and reality, and a strong sense of fatalism and mystery. The truth is wrapped in layers of fog, and it is slowly uncovered as the plot progresses. It was not until the end that people suddenly realized that these can firmly grasp the curiosity of the audience.

The screenwriter created Ruan, Go to the Angry Sea and Rouge Kou, all of which are classics of Hong Kong-made literary films. The advanced creativity and sad story of Dream Man are enough to prove that his scriptwriting ability is no less than that of talented woman Li Bihua.

As for the director Tony Au (Teresa Mo's husband), he graduated from high flyers, london film school, and won the Best Artistic Contribution Award of Tokyo International Film Festival and the Best Production Designer Award of Hong Kong Film Awards. His achievements in film art design are obviously higher than the director's ability, which shows that the service in the film is done very attentively.

Third,

Brigitte Lin, born in 1954, was 32 years old when shooting this film. Chow Yun Fat, born in 1955, was also 3 1 year old, but they were not equal in the film industry at that time.

1973 Brigitte Lin, who made her debut, has accumulated a high popularity in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circle for many years; Although Chow Yun Fat is the elder brother of TVB, he has encountered a bottleneck in the film industry, and he urgently needs a good work to prove himself.

"Dream Man" is a rare close cooperation between the two, but their performance in the film is a little stiff, leaving some regrets for the film, but Brigitte Lin's image of women's dress in Shaanxi opera is beautiful.

Gan, who plays the gorgeous second daughter, devoted himself to the art and performed well in the film, but it attracted a lot of criticism. This has had a great impact on Yang Xueyi's acting career, and it has also become something that Dream Man is talked about by fans outside the film.

Yang Xueyi debuted after winning the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant on 1983, and signed a contract with TVB to become the host of Hong Kong Morning. After working for a year, she bid farewell to TVB's disgusting film circle. Although she appeared in many works, the response was mediocre. So in Dream Man, she sacrificed a lot for her acting career, hoping to make a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out. In the film "Dedicated to Art" starring Chow Yun Fat, the passionate drama with Yang Xueyi is controversial and greatly belittled by newspapers and magazines. Therefore, Yang Xueyi left the film circle for four years in a rage and didn't come back until 1990.

Yang Xueyi disappeared from the screen on 1999 after starring in Heart. But in 2008, she participated in the production of John Woo's film Red Cliff as a producer, which was her last footprint in the film circle.

Fourth,

Although The Dreamer failed to make Chow Yun Fat successful, The True Color of Heroes in the same year finally made him rich and famous, which shows that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Since the beginning of this year, Chow Yun Fat has had a smooth journey in the film circle, and finally became a Hong Kong film legend, which is called "two weeks 10%" with Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan.

Now that Brigitte Lin has retired, Chow Yun Fat is in a state of near retirement, and their looks are not as youthful and beautiful as before. After buying the film copyright, Star Entertainment restored the negative, which made the original rough picture bright and detailed, and also let the fans appreciate the super-high value and extraordinary acting skills of Brigitte Lin and Chow Yun Fat in the golden age.
