Beijing, hotel.

Zhang Guoshi's busy feet did not touch the ground.

In September, "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" returned with honors and won two awards, the Golden Lion and the Best Actress, causing a sensation across the country. Of the three major in Europe, he has already won two, and Gong Li has become the second of the three major actresses.

At the beginning of this year, Maggie Cheung reached the top in Berlin with "Ruan Lingyu", and the two were only a few months apart.

Since returning to China, Zhang Guoshi has been entertaining in all parties, banqueting today, interviewing tomorrow, and holding a symposium in the future, and dragging his life in the capital.

At this moment, he had just sent away a wave of reporters, and the assistant immediately reported: "Director, Mr. Liu Heng called and said that this magazine wants to interview you." ”

Liu Heng is the original author and screenwriter.

"Which magazine? Why are you still looking for him?"

"The new publication, which has not yet been officially released, is called "New Film and Television" ......"

Zhang Guoshi didn't like to receive him when he heard it, and at the end he said again, "It was Xu Fei who did it." ”

"Xu Fei, that Xu Fei!"

Gong Li came over and said with a smile: "When he picked actors at school, I also saw it, and he picked Wu Yujuan away." ”

“......”

Zhang Guoshi thought for a moment and asked, "How does he want to interview?"

"You find a time and place, and cooperate over there. ”

"Then you ask, can you do it in the afternoon?"

The assistant answered, and I felt strange in my heart, the director seemed to be very polite.

A few years ago, Zhang and Gong fell in love, and the whole country scolded Chen Shimei. During the filming of "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", Zhang Guoshi was accidentally injured, and the original partner visited, but Gong Li did not dodge or avoid.

After that, Zhang divorced his original partner, officially made public with Gong Li, and lived together.

The two of them simply picked up, and about three hours later, the other party arrived.

"Director Zhang, Miss Gong! Thank you, thank you!"

"You're polite, I've admired your name for a long time, and I've wanted to meet you for a long time. ”

This is the truth, in the eyes of outsiders, this seems to be one of the Beijing gang bosses.

After a few words of greeting, Xu Fei and Yu Jiajia took their seats and said, "We are a new magazine and are preparing for the first issue." This thing may not be the same as other publications, so let's talk about it first. ”

He took out a manuscript, "I didn't expect to meet today, but I smiled." ”

Zhang Guoshi and Gong Li were stunned for a moment, and when they saw that it was full of outlines, they immediately understood. It should have been sent over first, look at it here, cross out the taboos, and then communicate, and then formally interview.

The sincerity came out, Zhang Guoshi simply didn't look at it, and said, "It's okay, let's come directly." ”

"Oh, that's good. ”

It felt really different, after Kaige Rinpoche took the Palme d'Or, he began to be stubborn and couldn't listen to people. Although Lao Mouzi is also floating, he is generally okay and can accept opinions.

Yu Jiajia is still adapting, and Xu Fei took her to practice. "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" has been analyzed 800 times by experts from all walks of life, it doesn't mean anything, he wants to ask something else.

"Some people say that you only shoot local dramas, what do you think of it?"

"Uh......"

Zhang Guoshi showed a mouthful of big teeth, but he didn't expect the first question to be so sharp.

"I didn't deliberately shoot local dramas, but these original books are set in rural society, and I just happened to catch up.

In fact, the themes of my works have been changing, and the things expressed in "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou" and "Qiu Ju Lawsuit" are definitely different.

In the past, it may have been a little more abstract, but Qiu Ju I used documentary techniques to shoot, focusing on the integration and conflict between a rural woman in such a living environment and the modern rule of law.

I really wanted to make a good urban film, but unfortunately I didn't meet a satisfactory script. ”

"But some viewers reacted, saying that some directors like to show China's ugly things to foreigners in order to win awards. ”

Tut!

Zhang Guoshi was instantly serious and said cautiously: "First of all, it's not ugly. Just like Qiu Ju, the rural women at the bottom, in such an environment, the village chief and elders are the law and the truth.

When a weak person is violated and wants to use the weapon of law to maintain dignity, conflicts will naturally arise.

This kind of conflict is a real state of our society, how can it be called ugly? If I don't shoot, it doesn't exist? Isn't that self-deception?"

"Is there a reason for this change?"

"Yes, after I finished filming the red lantern, I had a lot of reflections, especially the works of directors such as Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dechang.

I feel that mainland directors, including myself, have never paid enough attention to people. Qiu Ju counts the lessons I make up for myself to increase my attention to people. ”

"So if you're going to make an urban film, you're going to continue that?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"Do you like commercial films?"

"I think it's good, there should be a lot of genres. At the beginning, I wanted to make "Code Name Jaguar" into a commercial film, but unfortunately I didn't grasp it well. I don't think it's good to prepare in the early stage, but the funds have been invested, so I have to shoot hard. ”

"What do you mean by certainty?"

"Well, understand some of the business elements. ”

Xu Fei nodded, turned over there, and asked, "Miss Gong, Maggie Cheung won the three major European actresses before you, do you have any regrets in your heart?"

Well?

Gong Li was stunned, you are a Hong Kong paparazzi, right?

"Well, there must be regrets, but I'm also happy for her, are they all Chinese actors, it's all a matter of glory. ”

"You filmed "Qin Warriors", "Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint" and "When You Wake Up" in Hong Kong, what do you think is the difference between you and the mainland in terms of performance?"

"There are no professional schools there, most of them rely on experience, and the performances are more casual. It's not that it's bad, it's just, it's just ......"

Gong Li is only 27 years old, far from the Gong Emperor of later generations, and she is stupid for a while.

"Hong Kong's reckless rivers and lakes are relaxed and very commercial. Born in a mainland class, the performance is systematic, rigorous and professional, but a little dull. ”

Xu Fei said casually, "This rigidity refers to a single type. Characters with a gloomy tone, rich inner drama, and struggling thoughts are often played very well. On the contrary, a simple role, smirking and amusing, but he can't play it. ”

This is a common problem among mainland actresses, Gonghuang, Zhou Gongzi, and International Chapter are in the same line, the more complex the acting, the better, and the comedy is all pounced.

“......”

Gong Li frowned, and had the heart to refute, but she couldn't say it.

Xu Fei turned back to Zhang Guoshi and asked, "Are you going to participate in the Golden Rooster Award next month?"

"There's a seminar over there, and I was invited to go, and I just happen to have something. ”

"As far as I know, this seminar is going to discuss the abolition of the unified purchasing and marketing system, what do you think?"

Zhang Guoshi was immediately excited, "You this, is this news reliable?"

Li Ning told me. ”

Li Ning is the director of the Youth Film Studio, and "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is a joint production of Qingying and Yindu.

"Oooh!"

He thought about it more cautiously and said: "Now that the reform and opening up, the film industry will naturally respond." But I really don't know much, so I can't say more. ”

"Do you have any plans for the next work?"

"At present, Wang Shuo's "I Am Your Dad" is being prepared, but it has not been finalized, and everyone will be notified when it is finalized. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xu Fei closed the book, signaled the end of the interview, and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, in fact, I would like to recommend you a story." ”

"You speak. ”

"Yu Hua's creation should be finished, called "Alive". ”

Yu Hua? Zhang Guoshi was puzzled for two seconds, and suddenly remembered that this product was still Haima's consultant!

"Okay, I'll definitely ask. ”

"That's all for today, thank you for your cooperation, thank you Miss Gong. ”

After the two left, Gong Li breathed a sigh of relief, "It's more tiring than dealing with those Hong Kong reporters." He's not from the film industry either, so why do you ask so much?"

"Hey, he's really in the film industry. ”

Zhang Guoshi shook his head and said, "Xia Gang said that he made a film called "The Great Satan". It's been filmed a long time ago, and it's been pressed not to be released, and I just asked about the unified purchase and sales, and I guess ......"

"Phew!"

Both of them were startled by a certain thought, and that was bold!

(And ...... ）
