937 [Corporal Lixian]
To be fair, Gong Li is indeed not a first-class beauty in terms of facial features alone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Qingxia, Wang Qixian, Guan Zhilin, Zhao Yazhi, Chen Derong, Xu Tingxuan, Chen Hong, etc., are much more exquisite than her.
But if you count her figure and temperament, Gong Li will become a first-class beauty.
In "Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Tong Grandma", she appeared in the same frame with Lin Qingxia and Zhang Min, two recognized beauties in the Hong Kong film industry, and she did not fall behind at all, which shows her high appearance.
In addition, Gong Li's acting skills are also good, and she has won many international awards, and she can be regarded as the most famous Chinese female movie star in the international film industry.
Such a woman who has both inside and outside can be called the best in the world. There are few people in the whole of China who can compare with her.
Chen Yixin didn't have the eyes to see her goodness, but he knew a lot about Gong Li in the summer, and he had loved her for a long time.
……
Soon the banquet was served.
Seeing a table full of abalone cucumber wings and raw seafood, Gong Li's eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise.
"Oh my God, there are so many dishes, more sumptuous than our family's New Year!" she couldn't help but swallow.
"Director Zhang, Miss Gong, I would like to toast you and welcome you to Hong Kong. Summer smiled and raised his glass, "This time I'm here, don't be in a hurry to leave, take a good look here." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Xia. But we can't delay too long, the factory has already started to prepare for shooting. Zhang Yimou hurriedly smiled and declined.
"Hey, stay a few more days. The last time you came, you didn't even walk around, it seems that I, the host, are not interesting enough. Xia smiled, "I must take you around this time, so as not to come to Hong Kong in vain." ”
"But ......" Zhang Yimou was a little embarrassed.
"That's it, don't say any more. Summer clapped on the spot and didn't let Zhang Yimou continue, "Come, drink, drink!"
"Oh well. Seeing that the summer was so enthusiastic, Zhang Yimou had no choice but to nod.
Seeing this, Gong Li secretly rejoiced in his heart.
She finally came to Hong Kong once, and she wanted to have a good look and open her eyes.
It would be too disappointing to just go back and forth.
Thanks to such hospitality in the summer, it was amazing for her to be able to spend a few days in Hong Kong!
"Miss Gong, try this secret abalone, it tastes very good. I was having fun, but I heard Summer say with a smile.
"Ah, thank you. Gong Li saw that Xia personally added food for himself, and suddenly blushed embarrassedly.
In fact, among the people present, he has the lowest status, and he should serve everyone's drinking by himself.
I didn't expect that now I would become a person who was served, and I was served by Summer, the person with the highest status, which was really embarrassing.
……
"You're welcome. Xia smiled slightly, "By the way, Director Zhang, how are the preparations for the play "Red Sorghum" now?"
"The factory attaches great importance to this drama, and now it is almost ready. The actors have all been chosen: 'Jiu'er' is played by Xiao Gong, 'Yu Zhanao' is played by Jiang Wei, 'Uncle Luohan' is played by Teng Rujun, and 'Bald Three Cannons' is played by Ji Chunhua......" Zhang Yimou reported to Xia.
Summer nodded as he listened, and the cast was almost exactly the same as the one he remembered, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Jiang Wei, is that the actor who played Qin Shutian in "Furong Town" directed by Xie Jin?" he then asked with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Xia. Zhang Yimou nodded, "You know him too?"
"Oh, I've seen the report before. Summer smiled, "Yes, just looking at his appearance, he thinks he is a man." And since he was selected by Director Xie Jin, his acting skills are also very good. ”
"Yes, Jiang Wei graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in the mainland, and then was assigned to the China Youth Art Theater, where he acted in dramas for a year, and his acting skills have been fully exercised. Later, he was selected by director Chen Jialin to star in the movie "The Last Queen". He was partnered with Pan Hong, one of the most well-known female movie stars in the mainland, but Jiang Wei's performance was perfect and won unanimous recognition from the industry. Later, he was selected by director Xie Jin to star in "Furong Town", and he was partnered with another well-known mainland actress Liu Xiaoqing......" Zhang Yimou briefly introduced Jiang Wei's resume.
As the leading actor, he couldn't come together this time. Therefore, Zhang Yimou, as a director, has the obligation to explain to the producer Xia why he chose him.
"Well, that's good. Summer nodded and smiled.
In fact, there is no need for Zhang Yimou to introduce, he knows Jiang Wei very well.
Jiang Wei, the best actor, director, and screenwriter in the mainland, has created countless classic roles and directed many wonderful movies.
For example, "Beijingers in New York", such as "Li Lianying", such as "Sunny Day", such as "The Devil is Coming", such as "Looking for a Gun", such as "The Sun Also Rises", ...... There is also the well-known "Let the Bullets Fly" that has to be mentioned.
However, although Jiang Wei is excellent, he has a headache for him in the summer.
Because the movies he makes are too characterful, and Summer prefers to invest in commercial films that can make money.
It is true that literary films are forced to be high, but literary films cannot support the entire film market.
Taiwanese films have always been very stylish, such as Hou Xiaoxian, Cai Mingliang, Yang Dechang, etc., have made many classic literary films, but they are still squeezed out of most of the market by Hong Kong films.
The European film market has always been regarded as a paradise for literary films, but in later generations it was still attacked by Hollywood blockbusters.
Therefore, compared with Jiang Wei, who has a high personality, a good reputation, and a full personality, he still prefers the poor-mouthed, quiet Feng Xiaogang in summer, and his Feng's comedy.
……
"Ji Chunhua, is it the villain in "Shaolin Temple"?" Chen Yixin asked with a smile at this time.
Zhang Yimou nodded.
"It's good for him to play a bandit, he doesn't need makeup. Chen Yixin heard this and said with a smile.
Zhang Yimou also laughed when he heard him say this.
With the national popularity of "Shaolin Temple" in 82, Ji Chunhua, who played the vulture, also became famous overnight and became the most well-known villain actor.
Zhang Yimou chose him to play the bandit Bald Three Cannons, and he also took a fancy to his fame. Of course, Ji Chunhua himself looks vicious enough, and it is really like Chen Yixin said, he doesn't need makeup to play a bandit, and he is alive.
"By the way, Li Lianjie, the actor who played "Shaolin Temple", is he still in China?" "When Xia saw them mention "Shaolin Temple", he asked casually.
"It should still be there. I heard that he directed and acted in "Chinese Heroes" last year, but it seems that he was seriously injured, and now he is recuperating in the mainland. Zhang Yimou thought for a while.
Although he and Li Lianjie both belong to the mainland entertainment industry, the mainland is too big after all, almost equivalent to a Europe, so he and Li Lianjie don't actually know each other. The news of Li Lianjie that he knows is also from movie magazines.
"It's a pity, I hope he's okay. Summer nodded, "I think his kung fu is very good, and he plays beautifully." Now that action movies are popular in Hong Kong, if he comes here to develop, he must have a very promising future. ”
Zhang Yimou smiled, he had no interest in kung fu movies.
No matter how well that kind of movie is made, it is just a pastime, not art. He wants to make contemplative and thought-provoking works, so he disdains to make kung fu films that fight and kill.
……
"By the way, you just said that Red Sorghum is almost ready, so is there anything that hasn't been in place?" asked Summer again.
"Oh, I rented twenty acres of land in the hometown of Mo Yan, the author of the novel "Red Sorghum", and I plan to plant twenty acres of red sorghum. Zhang Yimou explained, "This takes time, so it hasn't been put in place yet." However, scenes such as the eighteen-mile wine shop and the bandits' den have all been built. ”
"Good. Summer nodded, "Where are these scenes?"
"It's in the north fort of the town where director Xie Jin filmed "Wrangler". Zhang Yimou reported.
Summer nodded, "Okay." Director Zhang, I'll give you a suggestion, after filming, don't tear down those wine shops and bandit dens, keep them!"
"What are you doing with it?" Zhang Yimou was a little puzzled.
After those scenes are filmed, the ones that should be demolished will be demolished, and it is useless to keep them, taking up space!
"Maybe it will become a tourist attraction in the future. Think about it, after the release of "Shaolin Temple", I don't know how many people wanted to go to Shaolin Temple to become monks. I don't know how many people admire the scenery of Shaolin Temple and enjoy the scenery in the past. Xia smiled, "Tens of millions of tourists across the country, even if a ticket costs five cents, how much money do you have to make?"
"Your "Red Sorghum", I think it's better than "Shaolin Temple". After the release in the future, it is inevitable that no one will go to find the secluded view. You keep those scenes and make them an attraction in the future. Include tickets, meals, souvenirs...... To say less, there are tens of millions of yuan. Summer smiled and said, "Think about it yourself, isn't that the truth?"
Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, and he didn't think about it at all. But now listening to Xia Yi's reminder, he really feels that this matter is promising.
A few years ago, he saw the grand occasion of the release of "Shaolin Temple" with his own eyes, and those fans went crazy and took the train to Shaolin Temple to be monks.
The Shaolin Temple was still a dilapidated temple before, and the barren grass was one person high, but through this movie, the salted fish was immediately reborn and became a famous tourist attraction, well-known throughout the country.
My own "Red Sorghum" may be able to drive the tourism economy of Zhenbeibao. When the time comes, everyone will come there for sightseeing, and if you look at it for five cents once, 100,000 people will earn 50,000 yuan, 100,000 people will earn 500,000 yuan, and 10 million people will earn 5 million...... Catch up with the output value of the factory for half a year.
"Mr. Xia, your idea is really good, I'll tell the leader when I go back. The more Zhang Yimou thought about it, the happier he became, and said happily, "Oh, no wonder Mr. Xia, you can now have a net worth of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and your brain is more spiritual than ours." ”
"Where, where. Summer smiled modestly.
Chen Yixin snorted and laughed. (To be continued.) )
