Two days agoHigh Den.

Mo Yan, a writer who only became famous two years ago, is staying in his hometown of Gaomi, and continues to write about his .

Last year, he published a novella red sorghum in the "People's Literature" magazine, which caused a sensation in the literary world, and at the beginning of this year, he published a new "Joy" in the first and second issues of the "People's Literature" magazine.

However, two days ago, there was a visitor to Mo Yan's house, a very rough-looking, thin man who was a cropper facing the loess with his back to the sky.

Although Mo Yan also worked in the countryside for 10 years when he was a child, he farmed and herded cattle, and he did not have acquaintances in the countryside, and even his family also had land in Gaomi County, he used to work in Beiping, and his wife and daughter lived in Gaomi, and every time he went back to Gaomi to visit relatives, his favorite thing was to work in the field.

However, he is now a great writer and a cultural person, not to mention how he will treat his poor friends in the past, just say that those poor friends themselves will not come to his door, and people will not lose face?

It's not a type of person who naturally doesn't get together.

This man who looks like a farmer also looks alike, although he used to work in the countryside for two years, and worked as a worker in the factory for a few years, but he was later recruited into the Beiying Photography Department to study, and he was thirty people soon, and he went to college like that, and he also studied photography, is there a tall one?

After graduation, he was assigned to Guangxi Film Studio, and then a film crew in Hong Kong specially named him as a cameraman, the male and female protagonists are big stars in Hong Kong, the female is Lin Qingxia, and the male is called Qiao Feng, not only the actor is also the investor of the film, the big boss of Hong Kong.

The reason why he has just graduated is because although he looks like a farmer, his name is Zhang Yimou, in the words of the Hong Kong boss Qiao Feng, your name is Zhang Yimou, and you will be the best photographer in China.

Although I don't know why the Hong Kong boss Qiao Feng is so determined, Zhang Yimou did quickly prove that what Qiao Feng said was true, and he immediately took the movie Yellow Earth of his classmate Cheng Kaige, as a photographer, he won a bunch of photography awards, many of which are international awards, and he also became the best photographer in China, not one.

Zhang Yimou, who became the best cinematographer, was not satisfied, he wanted to be a director, and he wanted to control the shooting of a movie by himself.

Then he saw the red sorghum published by Mo Yan, and felt that the sorghum field in it, the men and women in it, were bold and cheerful, spacious, and showed the freedom and joy of being a man as he wanted, so he decided to adapt this into a movie, and his idea was also supported by Xi'an Film Studio.

"Look at the script, if it's okay, it'll be finalized." Zhang Yimou has looked for Mo Yan many times, and this time he came again to let Mo Yan see how the script is going again.

Zhang Yimou found Mo Yan and said that he wanted to adapt him, Mo Yan agreed, the screenwriter at the beginning was Mo Yan, and there were two other people, and the three of them gave Zhang Yimou after writing the script, but Zhang Yimou had a lot of ideas, and changed a lot of the script, and every time he finished changing it, he came to Mo Yan to discuss it, and this time Zhang Yimou came because of this matter, but this time Zhang Yimou was ready to finalize it directly.

"What you changed is very different from what we wrote at the beginning, and I knew that this script would not be as good as you." After Mo Yan read the script, he smiled speechlessly.

The script in his hand is not to mention the original draft they wrote at the beginning, but it is different from the draft discussed last time, and it is not the same thing as the original script at all, Zhang Yimou not only made a lot of revisions but also made a lot of streamlinings, Mo Yan felt that he was almost unable to see the shadow of the original manuscript.

"Forget it, it's up to you, anyway, you're the director, the story is in your heart, shoot how you want, but have you decided on this heroine? Mo Yan took a sip of water and said.

"I'm looking for you in addition to the script just for this, na, you look at this." Zhang Yimou said as he opened the broken leather bag, took out a newspaper from the inside, and handed it to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan picked it up and saw that it was a People's Daily, and there was a photo on it, a group photo of six people, one of whom was circled with a pen.

"You want Gong Li to be the heroine?" Mo Yan frowned and asked.

"Yes, I think Gong Li is suitable, you know, I have acted, and when I was filming Lao Jing, I deeply realized that whether a movie can be made well or not depends on whether the actor is suitable or not, you must find an actor who looks like the character, Gong Li is like Jiu'er." Zhang Yimou is colorful.

Laojing hasn't been released yet, but it's coming soon, this movie is Zhang Yimou's first work as an actor, in order to shoot this scene, their crew especially went to the remote Taihang Mountains, and Zuo Quan, the general county, went to shoot the film, where General Zuo Quan, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, died there during the Anti-Japanese War, so in order to commemorate General Zuo Quan, the name of the place was changed from the original Liao County to Zuo Quan.

Although it is a general county, but the environment there is bad, the traffic is blocked, especially the place where they photographed Shiyuyu Village, just like the story of the old well, Shiyuyu Village water source is scarce, the people in the ditch for generations in order to survive, obsessed with digging wells, the villagers have been digging 151 wells for hundreds of years, but they are all dry wells.

The story of the old well began filming in such a village, one of which was a digging well collapsed, Zhang Yimou's role and heroine were trapped in the well, in order to perform the psychological feelings and screen image of being trapped in the well for three days, Zhang Yimou really didn't eat a bite for three days.

After the movie was filmed, Zhang Yimou felt shocked when he saw the edited film, and Zhang Yimou, who had been a photographer and an actor, also got his own understanding from it, that is, the right actor must be chosen to make a movie, and the actor must be very consistent with the image of the character, so that the movie can have a soul, just like Lao Jing, he Zhang Yimou looks thin and thin, and others laugh at him like a farmer, but Lao Jing can play the role so well, isn't it precisely because his image of a farmer fits the role that he will make himself feel shocked to act?

Gong Li is the nine children in his heart.
