Chapter 379 The Road to the Superstar
Gong Li is the Jiuer in Zhang Yimou's heart. When he saw that the last emperor won three Oscars. Gong Li and Liang Jiahui were the Oscars guests, Zhang Yimou firmly decided this way.
If Zhang Yimou was still swaying between Gong Li and Shi Ke at the beginning, then when the last emperor won three awards, Gong Li presented awards on the Oscar stage, and the people of the whole country knew who Gong Li was, the balance in Zhang Yimou's heart naturally turned to Gong Li. Because Gong Li not only fits the role but also has fame, but her classmate Shi Ke is completely unfamous and has never acted in the drama, so everyone knows how to choose.
Once the movie is well made, Gong Li's name will definitely have a better box office, and it is not certain that you can win awards abroad. Just like classmate Cheng Kaige, a Loess Land Director Award won numerous domestic and foreigners.
Zhang Yimou imagined Cheng Kaige like that, so he wanted Gong Li, a nationally famous actress who had a certain reputation in the world, joined the Red Sorghum movie.
Zhang Yimou was still afraid that Mo Yan would object, so he said deliberately: "I asked Changwei, and he also said that Gong Li was very suitable for this role than Shi Ke."
Changwei is Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou's classmates. They are all photography students and are also photographers of Red Sorghum. Both professional photography students say Gongli is suitable, which is definitely very convincing.
Mo Yan didn't see Zhang Yimou's little thoughts, but said worriedly: "Gong Li is famous now, and I heard that she signed with a Hong Kong company, so I'm afraid she can't afford to hire her."
"How can I know if I don't try it? Maybe she thinks the story is very good, and she may even have to shoot even if she reduces her value." Zhang Yimou said confidently.
"Okay, then you can try it. If you don't work, use Shike."
............
"Zhang Yimou sent a message through a Xinhua News Agency reporter to invite you to act in his movie?" Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he had changed Gong Li's life trajectory, and Lao Mouzi actually came to Gong Li.
Does Gong Li really look so in line with Lao Tou Zi's aesthetic? In the original time and space, this guy not only flirted with Gong Li when he had a family, but later he divorced but never married him until his relationship ended in eight years. However, the shadow of Gong Li was found by Lao Tou Zi afterwards. Whether it was the International Dirty, known as the Little Gong Li or Dong Jie who cheated on him for an ugly man, they were quite similar to Gong Li.
I don’t know if it’s the one in this number that Lao Mouzi likes, or because he was thinking about Gong Li, he chose actresses later and followed Gong Li’s model.
No matter what, Gong Li is the dish on Qiao Feng's plate in this time and space, and it's not the turn of Taozi to think about it.
"Yes, he wants to film Mo Yan's novel of the same name, Hong Gum, and wants me to play the heroine Jiuer. Do you think I want to play it?" Gong Li asked with a frown.
"What do you think? Do you want to act?" Qiao Feng asked.
"I called Teacher Liang, and Teacher Liang suggested that I go next." Gong Li said in a low voice and glanced at Qiao Feng.
"I don't care what you said about Teacher Liang, I just want to know what you think." Qiao Feng said angrily.
"I want to act." Gong Li's voice was even smaller.
"Since you want to act, then act well." Qiao Feng thought for a while and said.
Originally, he wanted to let Gong Li develop in Hong Kong, but after thinking about it, he felt that there were enough Hong Kong actors. There were so many actresses in Hong Kong who really wanted to make a big splash to grab the opportunity. Why bother to ask Gong Li to come to Hong Kong?
That's right, he has the ability to play various roles for Gong Li, but most of them are filming commercial films in Hong Kong. With Gong Li's acting skills, he is a talented person in Hong Kong, and he has also taken advantage of other people's opportunities.
It’s better to go back to the mainland to shoot art films to hone your acting skills and win awards, and then shoot movies for Europe and the United States, which can also attract more audiences.
Since Zhang Yimou has found him and Gong Li also wants to make art films, let her shoot and let her take the path of a literary superstar. As for Chen Hong, she can stay in Hong Kong to shoot TV series and movies. Anyway, her costume looks are beautiful and suitable for filming commercial things. The most important thing is that compared to Gong Li, Chen Hong's acting skills are a bit worse. If she doesn't do it in the mainland at this time, she still has to be in Hong Kong.
"Then I'll arrange to go back." When he said this, Gong Li felt a little reluctant.
"Well, see what you need to bring to your family, buy more, and just have to worry about filming after you go back. I will arrange for someone else to do the rest." Qiao Feng held Gong Li's shoulder and told her with a smile.
"Well." The shoulders were pressed by two big hands, Gong Li's face burned like Hongyun, and he nodded in a low voice.
Two days later, Gong Li, Chen Hong, Li Hanxiang, Liang Jiahui and others left together. Li Hanxiang and Liang Jiahui returned to Peking to continue taking pictures of the remaining shots of the Fire Dragon. Chen Hong returned to school and Gong Li returned to his hometown in Shandong.
I stayed in my hometown for a while and waited for the filming of the movie to start filming. Red sorghum was filmed on the Loess Plateau. The fifth generation of directors seemed to like filming on the Loess Plateau and filming stories that happened on the Loess Plateau.
Perhaps it is because the colors of the Loess Plateau are the thickest and most intense, just like the movie of red sorghum, red veil, red jacket, red shoes and red sedan chairs. The yellow sand is everywhere on the loess high slope. The two colors express enthusiasm and boldness in the ink-splashing appearance style.
Red Sorghum is the first film in China to win the highest honors of the three major European film festivals, but this film will not have any performance awards, and Gong Li will not win any awards if he acts. However, if this film can win the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, Gong Li will definitely be more famous.
Literary and artistic superstars are all made up by winning movies one by one. Even if they don’t win performance awards, winning movies is a kind of accumulation.
Moreover, if you want to become a literary and artistic superstar, the environment in the mainland is very favorable at this time. It does not mean that the environment is good, but on the contrary, the environment is very bad.
The shooting environment is difficult, the crew is simple, and the crew has no money, so it is easier to hone their acting skills at this time.
Because I don’t have money, I can’t buy too much film. It’s just tens of thousands of feet away. It’s gone after shooting. It’s impossible to say that the film tube is enough for you to take it casually. It doesn’t work twice at one time, twice at two times at three times, and you keep taking it dozens of times.
This is also the reason why there will be so many young and handsome guys who have no acting skills in the future, and even students who graduated from professional colleges have no acting skills. At that time, they were already digital. You can just take a memory card and take a random shot, and you can only take a shot dozens or hundreds of times in one shot. As long as the director is willing to accompany you to shoot, there is no problem at all.
But it is different at this time. A generous crew may give you ten chances to shoot one shot, but a crew that has no money wants to let you pass one by one every time. If it really doesn't work, it only has two or three chances. After the filming, he said he thought it wasn't okay, and he still wanted to shoot it again? Don't think about it, the producer will stop doing it immediately. OK, just keep going, there is no film.
