In the brilliant world of cinema, each film carries a unique cultural and artistic value, and the visual elements often play a key role.
Calligraphy, a traditional Chinese art form, is the finishing touch in many films, adding a strong Chinese color and cultural depth to the worldview of the film.
This is exactly the case with Tsui Hark's film "The Swordsman of New Shu Mountain", and he hopes to set off the style and atmosphere of the film through a true masterpiece. Tsui Hark's ideal candidate is Zhang Daqian, a world-renowned master of calligraphy and painting.
Full of respect and expectations, Tsui Hark personally visited Zhang Daqian's residence in Hong Kong. Despite facing an elderly artist who has been writing for many years, Tsui Hark is still full of antiquity to express his endless admiration for art and his extreme admiration for Zhang Daqian's personal style.
However, Zhang Daqian politely rejected his request on the grounds that he was too old to find the inspiration of the past.
Tsui Hark didn't give up easily, he pondered over and over again how he could touch the heartstrings of this art master.
He thought of a special character, she not only has a high reputation in the film industry, but also has won people's respect for her profound cultural heritage, she is the famous actress Lin Qingxia.
Perhaps, her name and sincerity can arouse the master's interest and make Zhang Daqian willing to add another touch to art.
Eventually, after much deliberation, Tsui Hark decided to invite Brigitte Lin to visit Zhang Daqian, hoping to take the opportunity to convince the artist to work together to complete a masterpiece.
On a sunny afternoon, Lin Qingxia accompanied Tsui Hark to visit Zhang Daqian again with carefully prepared gifts.
Different from Tsui Hark's previous visits, Lin Qingxia won Zhang Daqian's favor with her gentle demeanor and sincere language. She talked freely about art and life with Zhang Daqian, and gradually narrowed the distance.
In this atmosphere, Lin Qingxia subtly made Tsui Hark's request, and she sincerely expressed her admiration for Zhang Daqian's artistic achievements, believing that Zhang Daqian's calligraphy would add luster to the film.
Moved by Lin Qingxia's sincere eyes and words, Zhang Daqian finally nodded and agreed to inscribe for the movie.
In the study, Zhang Daqian picked up the dusty brush again, wrote the words "New Shushan Swordsman" on rice paper freely, and took an inscription for another "Golden Harvest" company involved in the production of the film.
Lin Qingxia witnessed this awe-inspiring scene on the sidelines, and she was deeply impressed by Zhang Daqian's calligraphy skills.
With the final stroke, the prelude to this cultural exchange slowly fell. Lin Qingxia's gratitude was overflowing, so she took a photo with Zhang Daqian as a commemoration.
This chance encounter is not only an artistic exchange between two generations, but also a collision of the hearts of two industry leaders, which has become a good story behind the success of "New Shushan Swordsman".
Zhang Daqian's calligraphy works not only enhance the cultural taste of the film, but also become a powerful evidence to witness it become a classic.
With the wisdom and efforts of Lin Qingxia, this precious ink treasure has achieved eternal memories in the hearts of countless fans.
