The sun is about to set, the grassland on the dam at dusk is particularly beautiful, the orange sky dyes the ground with a charming color, that is, the temperature becomes relatively low, in the dusk of September, the temperature is about ten degrees.

Zhou Bai walked slowly, just as he took a walk after dinner, and listened to Zhang Ziyi's story by the way.

"Actually, you don't have to worry that Director Zhang will change the role, since he chose you, it means that he is very optimistic about you, since he is optimistic about you, he will not change it easily, and it is too troublesome to change the role. After listening to Zhang Ziyi's words, Zhou Bai couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, it turned out that the little steel cannon was caused by a sense of crisis.

"Brother, I'm afraid that I won't be able to meet Director Zhang's requirements, you know that Director Zhang likes a type of heroine like Senior Sister Gong Li, Senior Sister Gong Li is a Venice actress, with countless international awards, and I don't know how many awards I have won in China, how can I compare. Zhang Ziyi lowered her head and kicked the grass under her feet, revealing a slight inferiority complex in her words.

Zhou Bai is a little funny, in the final analysis, Zhang Ziyi is not confident enough now, but it is understandable that Gong Li is the famous Gonghuang, not the current Zhang Ziyi can compare, Lao Mouzi likes Gong Li It is famous, the reason why Zhang Ziyi is more or less Zhang Ziyi is more or less like Gong Li is that some people now call Zhang Ziyi "Little Gong Li" in private.

Among the mainland actors, only Gong Li can have a high reputation in the international film industry, and she is even the queen of Venice, there is no doubt that she is the number one mainland actress.

Even if you put it in 20 years, make a list of the achievements of all Chinese actresses, whether it is awards or influence, Gong Li can undoubtedly be ranked on the President Mountain, and Zhang Manyu can be ranked with her, and the remaining two positions, maybe Chen Chong, Zhou Xun, and Zhang Ziyi can compete for it, and these people are still obviously pulled up a notch by them, Gonghuang Manshen is really not called in vain.

Let's put it this way, it's hard to say who the first actress in Chinese movies is, because Gonghuang Manshen is obviously a palace-level actor, and only these two are two to fight for one, anyone can say that they are first, but whoever is the first can't suppress the second.

Compared with qualifications and influence, Gong Huangsheng has won two of the three major European ones, one has been a judge, and he is the only two in the world to have won the highest award for starring films, only the Oscar has not won the best foreign language film in North America, and the three major European ones have all won a human award, Venice Queen.

Compared with the number of awards, Man Shen is better, the three major European actresses have won two actresses, five Academy Awards, four Golden Horse Award actresses, and the judges of the three main competition units in Europe are slammed, but the coercion of the chairman and the judges is definitely not comparable, and the film awards are much worse than Gonghuang.

Zhang Ziyi is inevitably worried in front of Gong Li's influence, which is also understandable, if the king of sunglasses is looking for Zhou Bai to be the leading actor today, it is still the kind of one-man show N, everyone knows that the king of sunglasses is Liang Chaowei, and it is difficult for him to ignore it in the face of the influence of this great god.

"Ziyi, you have to understand that Director Zhang chose you because you are the most suitable, with Director Zhang's status, now it is purely the pursuit of artistic achievements, if there is a better choice, he will not compromise, so he will choose you, just because you are the best, you are you, you don't have to compare with others, because you have already won. Zhou Bai stopped, held Zhang Ziyi's shoulders and said with a straight face.

This time Zhou Bai didn't call her "Little Steel Cannon", and his expression was serious and serious, his eyes were firm, and his tone was resolute, which made Zhang Ziyi know that Zhou Bai was not perfunctory, but very serious.

Aura is such a thing, it is all raised, it is normal for Zhang Ziyi to have self-confidence problems now, whether it is as a classmate or an actor with rival scenes, it would be great if she could help her build confidence, but Zhou Bai didn't have that kind of Taoism, he could only cheer for her, anyway, the firmer the better.

"Thank you, brother, I understand. Looking at Zhou Bai, under Zhou Bai's eyes, Zhang Ziyi took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"You're welcome, let's go, it's getting dark, and we're going back too. Zhou Bai let go of Zhang Ziyi and said.

In the last little afterglow of the setting sun, two black figures walked towards the dim light, slowly blending into the early night of the grassland on the dam.

……

The next day, Zhou Bai first cut his hair in line with the times at the makeup artist, which was the kind of rustic three-seven points, and then changed into a black tunic suit, and then after some retouching by the makeup artist, the image of a young man in the fifties came out.

The makeup artist was also amazed, and repeatedly said that Zhou Bai's temperament was particularly good, and he could even wear a simple and elegant feeling with a tunic, this was the first time he had seen it.

When Zhou Bai saw Zhang Ziyi change her clothes, she found that Zhang Ziyi had changed even more, a city girl became a city girl with two braids, wearing a red flower cotton jacket, fat cotton pants, and a pair of obviously bloated and ill-fitting leather boots.

Before Zhou Bai could chat with Zhang Ziyi for a while, he heard the staff say that Lao Mouzi was gathering the crew to prepare for the start-up ceremony.

At this meeting in 98, the directors on the Xiangjiang side have not entered the mainland in large numbers, and they are not so particular about the mainland side of the start-up press conference, and the general crew is simply saying two words even if it is turned on, if the director of Xiangjiang comes, at least the incense case must be put on the incense case to make a roast pig or something to worship God before the announcement of the start-up, the important thing is that there are more than a dozen media interviews before the start-up, anyway, it is also part of the publicity.

"My Father and Mother" didn't invite many reporters to come over, it was because Zhang Wei, who left temporarily, to make an appointment with one or two media, Zhou Bai thought it should be a newspaper, and they also came to participate in the opening ceremony, but anyway, the interviewer must be Lao Mouzi, and the propaganda work has not yet begun, and there is no part of Zhou Bai in the interview, and even Zhang Ziyi can't get this opportunity.

The start-up press conference is very simple, that is, there are dozens of crew members around, in addition to the art group, lighting group, and photography group, the actors include Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Bai, Li Bing, Ji Bo, Song Yuncheng and others, because the shooting is divided into two stages, at this time, Sun Honglei has not yet entered the group, and the actors in their part of the scene have to wait for the winter to enter the group to start filming.

Among them, Li Bing plays the role of grandma in "My Father and Mother", and the role of this role is quite important, because Lao Mouzi specially invited her to play this role.

Now the old lady is almost seventy years old, but she is still very strong and in good spirits, and she arrived this morning.

The old lady was originally an actor, an absolute old drama bone, with profound acting skills, she has a figure in movies, TV series, and dramas, and she has cooperated with directors and celebrities, and has created a lot of classic screen images, like Aunt Qi in "Party A and Party B", Aunt Cao in "Born Timid", there are not many scenes, but the performance is absolutely impressive.

What's even more commendable is that the old lady really loves acting, and she has been active on the screen, and she has works until 12 or 13 years, which is absolutely nothing to say.

Lao Mouzi didn't really care about the form of the start-up matter, but Zhang Weiping really put his heart into it, and before leaving, he specially told the staff to do it carefully, so it was a lot more formal.

A red banner reads "My Father and Mother" for the opening ceremony, a small square table next to it, the table is still draped with a red tablecloth, some candy peanuts are placed on the table, and there is a small round table, with a white tablecloth, six or seven bottles of champagne are placed, and more than a dozen quilts are placed next to the champagne, at least it looks good.

"Today is the launching ceremony of "My Father and Mother", I wish the crew a smooth and smooth shooting, and now I will ask the director to give us two words, and everyone applauds and welcomes. "An assistant director spoke first with a loudspeaker, which is the kind that street vendors will use to broadcast advertisements in the future.

The applause and applause rang out, and Zhang Yimou is the backbone of the crew, there is no doubt about it.

Wearing white sneakers, black sweatpants, a red T-shirt, a sleeve tied in a knot around his neck, a red sweater, and a black peaked cap, Zhang Yimou walked from the crowd to the banner and took the horn from the assistant director.

"Well, after more than half a year of preparation, this scene is officially filming today. This place is not easy to walk after snow, so everyone should be prepared to work hard. I think the hardest part of it is our screenwriter Baush, it has been more than a year from the publication of the original work to the adaptation of the script, and today we invited him to come over and rewrite while filming, I really thank him. In addition, the actors are too, we are all looking for them from all over the world, no matter what, the film crew has a lot of old friends, and there are also many new people, come together to join the team, I hope this movie can be filmed successfully, thank you!" Lao Mouzi's speech can be described as short, one minute to complete.

With Lao Mouzi's speech, "My Father and Mother" was officially launched, but it was just a blind champagne prepared by Zhang Weiping, and everyone was over at once.
