In the 12th issue of Picture Talk, Xiao Wan brings you a "cross-dimensional" stills.
You can tell at a glance which movie the two actors are from, and they must be true fans.
This still is from the 2010 ancient martial arts film "Sword Rain". The people in the still are the Chinese actress Michelle Yeoh and the Korean actor Zheng Yusheng.
"Sword Rain," co-directed by John Woo and Su Zhaobin, tells the story of a feud between rivers and lakes triggered by a corpse.
Michelle Yeoh plays a reclusive killer Zeng Jing, who meets and gets to know Zheng Yusheng’s post station groom Jiang Ah Sheng and becomes husband and wife.
It’s just that the relationship between the two is far from simple on the surface. They both hide their true identities from each other. Although they have their own difficulties, they also have real feelings after getting along for a long time.
When making this movie, Michelle Yeoh and Zheng Yusheng, who were 11 years apart, collaborated for the first time. The two did not speak the same language, but they had to star in the film’s complex relationship of falling in love and killing each other. The difficulty can be imagined.
Not only that, "Rain of Swords" also holds great significance for both actors.
Michelle Yeoh moved to Hollywood after becoming a Bond girl in 1997 through "007: Tomorrow Empire". "Rain of Swords" is her first return to Chinese-language film starring in eight years.
Zheng Yusheng "starred in a Chinese movie for the first time," and this opportunity was offered by director John Woo after seeing his romantic film "Eraser in My Mind."
As the protagonist, Zheng Yusheng not only has a large number of Chinese lines in this film, but also has scenes with actors such as Michelle Yeoh, Yu Wenle, and Da S.
Although he grew up watching a lot of martial arts movies and thought he understood the martial arts spirit, he still encountered many difficulties in filming because he knew nothing about traditional Chinese martial arts.
At first, he had to stare at the director during filming, judging whether his performance was appropriate by the director’s expression and reaction.
Fortunately, the cooperation with Michelle Yeoh went very smoothly. The two often communicated in English on the set. In order to take care of Zheng Yusheng, who was not familiar with each other, Michelle Yeoh often stayed with him when she was not filming, and invited him to eat together from time to time, which eliminated the strangeness of the Korean actor.
After "Sword Rain" was completed, Yeoh became Zheng Yusheng’s "Chinese actor friend", and the two maintained a good relationship.
Interestingly, Zheng Yusheng, a famous male god in the Korean actor industry, was also ridiculed in this movie.
When Fu Qing, the killer played by Big S, saw Jiang Asheng played by Zheng Yusheng for the first time, he turned to Zeng Jing played by Yang Miqiong and said, "Your taste is really bad."
