Chapter 195 A Spark
However, after Leung Ka-ying gave her the umbrella, she also published an article in a Hong Kong newspaper, expressing her support for anti-sexual harassment. She also took a photo holding an umbrella with the words "I don't" on it and published it in the newspaper.
She also received support from many women for this.
She and her friends set up a small women's mutual aid group to provide help to women who have had similar experiences.
Now, she finally met the organizer of the event. Although he was younger than her, she still admired Gao You very much.
"If you need an umbrella in the future, just come to me." Gao You said to her with a smile.
"Then I won't be polite. I'll order a hundred from you first." Next time they hold an event, they can send one to each person.
"No problem." Gao You agreed.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
If more and more women like Leung Ka-li join in, their voices will be heard by more people and their power will become stronger.
"This is Liu Diekun, who plays the older sister He Yu." Leung Ka Ying introduced another leading actress.
Liu Diekun wears no makeup and dresses casually, but her outstanding temperament cannot be concealed.
"Hello, sister." Gao You and Liu Diekun greeted.
Liu Diekun came to Hong Kong when she was a teenager and her Mandarin is actually very good.
"Hello, sister. No wonder producer Liang insisted on having you play He Jin, you are really a perfect match for the role." Liu Diekun greeted Gao You in Mandarin.
"We will chat in Mandarin from now on. But we still have to use Cantonese when filming. Do you want me to teach you?" Liu Diekun's attitude was very friendly.
"Okay, thank you sister." Gao You and Liu Diekun quickly became familiar with each other.
Liu Diekun has been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for more than ten years, during which time she has encountered a lot of contempt and discrimination.
So she was quite friendly to Gao You, her sister who also came from the mainland.
The study session officially began and everyone quickly got into the mood.
The meeting lasted for two days, which opened Mo Huan's eyes.
They are indeed very efficient, but they also have to be careful about what they do.
It is quite different from her impression of some of the shoddy fast-food Hong Kong movies.
"It's a big crew after all." Gao You has been reviewing the script with Liu Diekun these past two days. As expected of someone who won Best Actress in her early years, she got into the role quickly and acted very accurately.
It is very easy for actors to get into the role when filming with such a professional crew.
Next, Gao You and other actors underwent half a month of action scene training under the arrangement of the crew.
Hanging on wires, jumping off buildings, climbing walls, practicing shooting, fighting with action actors, etc.
However, these are still easy for Gao You now.
Her skills also surprised the director and Leung Ka-ying.
I didn’t expect that Gao You, who looks tall and thin, is actually so good at fighting.
When wearing a vest, the exposed arms are very muscular.
The fighting scenes are smooth and the strength and speed make action director Luo Dong very satisfied.
"Xiao Gao, why don't you change your career and come to our Yin Sheng An. I promise to make you the best fighting girl in Hong Kong." Liang Jiaying couldn't help but joked with Gao You when she was taking a break.
There are quite a lot of actresses in Hong Kong who are into action movies nowadays.
But unfortunately, many of them play supporting roles in movies starring male action stars.
There are still not enough movies with female action stars taking the lead.
Yin Sheng An once launched a series of female police movies, which actually had good profits, but they were still a little lacking in box office appeal compared to male action stars.
Leung Ka-ying intends to continue promoting this series of films and even create a group of female action stars.
"If there is a good script, I will not turn it away." Gao You wiped the sweat off his face, sat down, drank a few sips of water, and chatted with Leung Ka Ying.
“But I still prefer being a director.”
"You can direct and act in the movie yourself." Leung Ka Ying thought this was not a problem.
Gao You is obviously not bad at either of them. In Leung Ka-ying's opinion, it is easier to have box office appeal if one can direct and act in the film himself.
Gao You thought about it and felt that if she could cooperate with this side, then her "Fantasy Dragon Universe" could indeed be made into a series of movies a few years earlier.
Her original plan was to make some literary films first, and use word of mouth and awards to pave the way for her film career.
Once the mainland film market matures and "Fantasy Dragon Universe" has gained a certain degree of popularity among the public, we will then shoot a series of films and take the commercial route.
If it succeeds at the box office, I can use the money earned from commercial films to train more female filmmakers and shoot the subjects I want.
This is the director's path she planned for herself.
But now it seems that Hong Kong is quite receptive to "Fantasy Dragon Universe".
It would be nice if I could find a way here, make a few commercial films and earn some money.
"Okay, then let's talk about this later." After considering it, Gao You felt that he could cooperate more with Leung Ka Ying.
If Shengxiong Pictures is the boss, Yinshengan is between the second and third.
She also admires Leung Ka-ying's working style.
It is really rare to have an excellent and compatible producer.
Half a month later, the film officially started shooting. All the cast and crew participated in the opening ceremony, burning incense and praying. Many people also received red envelopes.
Gao You participated this time as an actor, and the acting process was no easier than being a director.
She has a lot of action scenes, as well as many large-scale explosion and chase scenes.
After a day, I'm so tired that I don't even want to move my fingers.
Director Xu’s requirements are also very strict. Often after passing one take, he would ask for a few more.
Gao You said nothing and repeated it over and over again, each time better than the last.
There was a scene of jumping off a building, and a stuntman was originally arranged. Gao You suggested that he try it first, and if the effect was not good, he would let the stuntman come in.
Gao You jumped from the third floor several times. The director didn't pass the first few times. But on the fifth time, the director finally passed it. He clapped his hands to encourage her, and then asked Gao You to jump a few more times.
By the time he took the next shot, Gao You's entire body was shaking.
The action director patted Gao You on the shoulder and gave her a thumbs up.
The crew's filming schedule was very tight. Gao You and Mo Huan had originally planned to visit Yu Lishu's great aunt when they were free and chat with the old lady about the Cantonese opera troupe's past. In the end, only Mo Huan went.
Even when she didn't have her own scenes, Gao You would come to watch and told Director Xu that she wanted to learn from him.
Director Xu laughed and tapped her head, saying that he was afraid his disciples would steal his job.
"I am your apprentice, Master, you are not allowed to change your mind." Liang Jiali handed the thermos cup in her hand to her master Director Xu and joked with them.
"Don't change your mind. You are my only disciple in this life." Director Xu hurriedly coaxed his disciple.
"That's about right." Liang Jiali said.
After the break, continue shooting.
The afternoon shots were much heavier in content.
It was a scene of Japanese troops committing violence against doctors and nurses.
Some actors who play Japanese soldiers always find it difficult to get into the role.
It's so uncomfortable.
It is difficult for anyone with a human touch to act easily.
"Director! Can you please replace me with someone else? I can't stand it anymore." One actor broke down.
He had heard from his family members about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.
