Tsui Hark refused to play Rosamund Kwan in The Green Snake. Isn't Rosamund Kwan as beautiful as Gong Li and Anita Mui?

At the funeral scene of Anita Mui, the appearance of three people attracted a lot of farce. One is Cecilia Cheung and Rosamund Kwan, and the other is the singer Tao Zhe. Why are these three people so capable and turned upside down?

One day in 2003, in a ward of Yanghe Hospital, the singer Anita Mui closed her eyes forever. When she died, there were many singers and artists around the ward. They all came to see her off. A few minutes ago, she said goodbye, and it was already separated from heaven.

As soon as the wind blows, the actress's controversy over the number one female in the entertainment circle has never stopped. Gong Li received an invitation from Tsui Hark and was very interested, but got the role of "The Legend of the White Snake", which made Gong Li, who was very popular, very unhappy.

Because the green snake is the heroine and the white snake is the supporting role, neither Gong Li nor Anita Mui will compromise. So Gong Li resolutely resigned and refused to be a supporting actor. However, Anita Mui is also loyal. Since she can't work together, she might as well stop playing. Coupled with the scheduling problem, both winners turned down Tsui Hark. Neither of the two leading actors plays, which makes Tsui Hark very helpless.

At first, Anita Mui and Gong Li didn't refuse Tsui Hark's invitation, and even made an appointment to play together. Gong Li is also very satisfied with its cooperation with Anita Mui. However, just before she agreed to join the group, Xiang Huaqiang called her and invited her to star in Tian Mu.

Gong Li saw that she was working here with Brigitte Lin, and the salary was higher than that of Tsui Hark, so she quit and went to the cast of Eight Dragons. Seeing that Gong Li didn't come, Tsui Hark was a little worried, so he discussed with Anita Mui and wanted her to leave two corners for herself.

Anita Mui saw that she was the only one left, and she wanted to play a double heroine. She thought it was too difficult. Maybe it was thankless, so she gave up. Tsui Hark boldly asked Xiaoqing to be the protagonist, telling stories from her perspective, coming to this world for the first time, listening to her sister's words, learning to be a man, feeling that everything around her is very fresh and eager to try;

Then learn from my sister to get along with honest people, help Fahai practice and tease Xu Xian. She had a sense of accomplishment and began to rebel and disagree with her sister. Finally, my sister died, and she finally understood why my sister drove her away, because being a man is too tired, too fake and too hypocritical. The so-called human feelings are just human desires.

However, Tsui Hark was very moved by Rosamund Kwan's courageous behavior. Later, she and Anita Mui starred in their own producer "The New Crane Thimble", Anita Mui played Bai Yunfei and Rosamund Kwan played Fluttershy. "Green Snake" is still pending, and Tsui Hark thought of Maggie Cheung again.

When Maggie Cheung heard that he was allowed to play the green snake, he thought he was the second mistress, but he didn't agree. Tsui Hark quickly added: The name of the movie is Green Snake. The white snake is the second hostess, and you are the first hostess-Maggie Cheung just agreed. After the filming of Green Snake, it was suggested that Joey Wong should play White Snake.

Of course, in order to balance the two heroines, Tsui Hark later changed Green Snake into a play with two heroines. Especially when they were dressed up, Tsui Hark finally found the sea snake and white snake in his heart. Maggie Cheung and Joey Wong are very satisfied. In order to play this role well, they also learned snake dance, which is extremely charming in the play.

The role of Fahai is also full of twists and turns. At first, I wanted to invite Chow Yun Fat, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Yu Rongguang to cooperate for various reasons. Later, Jet Li was decided, but at that time, Jet Li and Jiahe had conflicts and went to Hollywood for development. Finally, when Chiu Man-Cheuk auditioned, he thought he was too suitable.

Finally, both the white snake and the green snake were in place, but at this time Xu Xian encountered another problem. When learning that White Snake was played by Joey Wong, Leslie Cheung raised an objection. He said that he and Joey Wong have become classics in previous ghost stories. If CP is used again now, it will inevitably be compared, and the role of Xu Xian is quite annoying, so Leslie Cheung refused to play it. Tsui Hark lamented that everything was not going well.

Therefore, after Green Snake, Tsui Hark filmed Liang Zhu by Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and then returned to the period of Butterfly Change, where there was no one in hell, the first kind of danger, and the madness was out of control. These are all anti-trend exploration and innovation works. So Tsui Hark is a pioneer of Hong Kong movies!
