When she saw Joan Chen in the suite of Four Seasons Hotels in Hongkong, she was dressed in a bathrobe and was seated at the dressing table.
As a veteran veteran, she used to dress up and make hair. She looked at her face in the mirror without any words, and then looked at the inspiration book we prepared for her.
Joan Chen is not tall, but her body is full of strength, a kind of demeanor and temperament that makes the director fascinated.
Ang Lee said that the reason why he was looking for Joan Chen to play the part of Mrs. Yi in the color and caution was to use her to "suppress". Yi's wife seemed to be a less important role, but it was the weight of the movie and manipulated everything.
At this moment, we are in front of this powerful aura: Chen Chonggang came out of the fitting room, and she was graceful, with a full set of jewellery and a bra shaped Leopard Dress with a feminine curve.
Joan Chen was not satisfied with the praise, but she knew very well what kind of clothes she was suitable for.
With such a wise and experienced woman talking about dressing, you will soon find the superficial topic of fashion.
Joan Chen talked and talked about topics that she was more interested in, such as family, such as drama, such as life and lost time.
Joan Chen, who portrays a vivid image on the screen, is not very good at modeling. This is a bit unexpected, but we just want her to stand in front of the camera.
How many women try to be sexy and charming, and Joan Chen doesn't have to work hard at that.
When she casually fiddled with her hair, she showed her femininity. But it was not a white rose style, but a red rose.
As she said, "I don't smile very much.
I like to laugh. "
Joan Chen has both the charm of Shanghai women and the rare atmosphere of Shanghai women.
Q: almost no woman can resist the attractiveness of jewelry. What about you?
A: actually, I am not the kind of person who has unlimited yearning for jewelry, but I will like those old and story jewellery, because they value their connotation and commemorative value.
When one of my neighbor's old lady died, her children sold many of her collections. One of the 1954 year old watches, which had been out of print, was sent to her by her husband, with the inscription on it, which witnessed the love of two people.
I saw that her children did not intend to leave the watch, so they bought it.
In fact, my personality is quite romantic. I think I can wear my watch on my hand.
Of course, I will also like jewelry for the sake of beauty, and I will say from my heart how it is so beautiful. How can anyone come up with such an elegant style? How can the gem come from the colors of nature? I think it is out of the wonder of nature and human creativity.
Q: what do you think of fashion?
A: I was not a very fashionable person since I was a child.
In my teenage years, I feverishly loved military uniforms and worshipped soldiers. I remember wearing a military uniform for the first time when I went to the movies. Now I think it might be because the military uniform has some waistlines.
After studying in the United States, because I had no money, I used to buy clothes at old goods stores. After many years of seeing pictures taken at that time, I found that I bought all the hippie style clothes in 1970s. At that time, I did not know at all.
When I buy clothes, I just like it or not. I never want them to be fashionable or fashionable.
I think fashion is a tool for self expression, so I still don't like to follow the trend until today.
Generally speaking, I prefer something with simpler lines than a brand.
Q: what do you think of age?
A: I think that panic is a normal psychological reaction to your age, because your subconscious mind feels closer to death.
The fear of aging is actually the fear of death, which is very natural and common.
So as long as you can face up to yourself and put aside your fears, you will be graceful.
For me, it may be that with children, they will feel that they are sustenance and their own continuity, so they will not feel so frightened.
Q: can the experience of living in America change your understanding of beauty?
A: I came to the United States in 1981, when Chinese people did not know anything about Americans, nor did Americans understand Chinese. So I felt a great cultural shock.
Moreover, I am not the kind of person who easily gives up his original values and ideals, and is always somewhat inconsistent with American culture. So it took 10 years to understand their values.
The education I received in my country was very Puritan, and from the middle school to the work, I had to make such a tight and tight dress that I wanted to tie myself up. When I arrived in the United States, I found that the girl over there had to expose herself, which surprised me and excited me.
Q: now you settle in San Francisco, do you often return to Shanghai?
A: I always go back to Shanghai, which is always my hometown for me.
If I don't go back to Shanghai for a few months, I will be very upset. I will miss the wet weather.
The alley, or the fried bread stick on the street, is very nostalgic for me.
I still think Shanghai is a good place to live. People in Shanghai know how to live. They don't have to spend too much money to make their life very interesting. They can dress themselves up without spending too much money.
Q: when can we see your heavy conductor?
A: I may guide a short film in New York this fall, but the specific situation is not yet certain.
In fact, I have been reading materials, preparing, but mainly want to wait for the child to come out a little more director.
Because it takes at least a year to a year and a half to make a long film. You can't take care of the family at that time.
So now I still play the main role, acting can be taken a while to go, and the director will take up too much time.
