This is a very classic bundled marketing in the mainland entertainment industry, which is similar to the four kings of Xiangjiang. The great thing about this kind of bundled marketing is that when one person gets exposure, the other three can follow suit. Even if the other three of the four people hit the street, as long as the remaining one is still very popular, the other three will be able to get a high exposure.
After the title of Four Little Flowers came out, Zhang Ziyi and the four of them developed relatively smoothly and gradually became the mainstay of the mainland entertainment industry. Even though Zhang Jingchu has sprung up and starred in many masterpieces including "The Aviator" and "Tangshan Earthquake", because of Zhang Ziyi in front, Zhang Jingchu still did not replace them, but could only be ranked behind them, known as the first day of the fourth day.
Of course, Sixiaohuadan can be so successful, not just hype, the key is that Zhang Ziyi and their own strength is very strong, even the weakest Lao Xu in Sidan has a hat of a talented woman, and her self-directed and self-starred works have won international awards, which cannot be easily replaced.
Now that seven years have passed, the Four Little Flowers have completed the transformation from the Four Little Flowers to the Four Great Flowers, both in terms of acting skills and popularity, and have become the mainstay of the entertainment industry. At the same time, a group of post-80s young actors such as Huang Shengyi and Liu Yifei are also rising rapidly, and the four little flowers, which are recognized as actors in the mainland, have come to the time when it is time to shuffle.
As a result, Tencent.com, together with hundreds of mainstream media such as "Rongcheng Evening News" and "Xiamen Daily", participated by millions of people, and nearly 100 entertainment reporters jointly voted to officially select the new four little flowers: Huang Shengyi, Liu Yifei, Bai Ling, and Wang Luodan.
Among the newly elected Xiaohuadan, Huang Shengyi received the highest number of votes and was the most sought after by netizens. In fact, it is not surprising that Huang Shengyi won this number of votes, after "Kung Fu" became an instant hit, she starred in many popular film and television dramas, especially the role of Ji Jiang in the sci-fi drama "Providence", which made her gain unprecedented popularity and became Chu Qiao among the new generation of actresses.
Liu Yifei is the fairy sister in many people's hearts, with the three TV series "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she became popular all over the country, after which she signed a high-profile contract with an American agency and became Zhang Ziyi's younger sister, starring in "The King of Kung Fu" and "The Legend of Chunli" in Hollywood, and was the first actress born in the 80s to enter Hollywood. If "The Legend of Chunli", which will be released at the end of this year, can be successful, then she may gain a firm foothold in Hollywood and become an international superstar like Zhang Ziyi.
Bai Ling does not have many works, after becoming popular with "Three Fools", she starred in the romantic drama "Our Youth with Nowhere to Place", in which she played the gentle and lonely Zhou Meng, who is persistent in love, and won the hearts of countless audiences. Bai Ling's acting skills are particularly good, she has almost no traces of acting, and she has a feeling of lightness, and is praised by many people as the best acting skills among the new generation of actresses.
As for Wang Luodan, she is the latest to be popular among everyone. After graduating from Nortel, she acted in a lot of film and television works, but these works were not of high quality, so she failed to make a deep impression until she starred in "Tangshan Earthquake". In this play, Wang Luodan's acting skills exploded, and the limelight even overshadowed the heroine Zhang Jingchu. Next, Wang Luodan co-starred with Sun Honglei in the spy war drama "Latent", playing the guerrilla captain Cui Ping, this role made her super popular, and won the Huading Award for Best Actor for the play.
However, after the list of the four little flowers was announced, it still caused some controversy, and was even questioned by some netizens about fraud, and the controversy and questioning mainly came from Shu Chang and Jiang Yan.
Shu Chang is popular in Asia because of the role of Xia Youcao, the heroine of "Meteor Shower", and has a popularity among teenagers that is difficult for others to chance. After the list of the four little flowers was released, Shu Chang's fans couldn't sit still, my family Shu Chang is so popular, she is the most popular actress of the Golden Eagle Award, why is there no my family Shu Chang, there is a shady scene, there is definitely a shady scene!
Jiang Yan's popularity is not high, but her works are very hard, and after becoming famous with Gu Changwei's "Peacock", she starred in films such as "The Bride with a Flower Waist", "Seven Swords", and "Aromatic Journey", among which "Aromatic Journey" also won the Best Actress Award at the Cairo Film Festival. Jiang Yan was not selected for the Four Little Flowers, and her fans were naturally very dissatisfied, shouting, the movie starring my family Crawling won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and "Aromatic Journey" won the Best Actress at the Cairo Film Festival, and she is the first A-level actress among the post-80s actresses.
However, most of the audience still recognized the selection results of the Four Little Flowers, after all, the four girls have their own masterpieces, and they are also very popular.
At the same time as the four little flowers, there are also the new four primary students, but the selection results of the four major students are not controversial, and in the end, Jia Niliang, Hu Ge, Ji Chen, and Zhu Yuchen stood out and were selected as the four major students. Among them, Jia Nailiang won the first place with "Three Fools" and "Meteor Shower" and became the first of the four major students; Hu Ge ranked second with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Meteor Shower"; Ji Chen became popular with the role of Xu Changqing in "Tangshan Earthquake" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", ranking third; while Zhu Yuchen gained good popularity with Zhao Baogang's TV series "Struggle" and "My Green Who Calls the Shots" and became the last of the four major students.
After the list of the new four little flowers and the four big students was released, the sharp-eyed audience soon discovered a shocking fact, Huang Shengyi, Bai Ling and Wang Luodan in the new four little flowers are all Zhang Ran's students, Liu Yifei is Zhang Ran's apprentice, and Jia Niliang and Ji Chen among the four major students are also Zhang Ran's students, that is to say, most of these new little flowers were brought out by Zhang Ran.
"I didn't expect Zhang Ran to be not only great at making movies, but also great at leading students, more than half of these little flowers were brought out by him!"
"Yes, it's really amazing, it almost accounts for half of the domestic entertainment industry!"
"It's not just Huang Shengyi, but a few others who didn't choose this time are also very popular. Zhang Xinyi, who played Du Xiaobin in "Our Youth with Nowhere to Place", is Zhang Ran's student, as well as Cao Bingkun, he is obviously very popular, but he didn't choose him this time, it's really strange!"
"I think the most pity is Zhang Zichen, who is very handsome, and the sister-brother love with Xiao Taohong in "Don't Move Your Feelings" makes me too girly! "Love is a Bullet of Happiness" played with Zhang Xinyi is handsome, and playing the villain silencer in "Three Fools" is not annoying at all. But in the past two years, he has stopped acting, but has gone to engage in dramas, I think it's a pity!"
"I also like him very much, I heard that "Meteor Shower" originally wanted to ask him to play Simon, but he gave up because he wanted to act in a drama. If he hadn't gone to act in dramas, he would definitely be one of the four major students. ”
"These are all students in Zhang Ran's class? Damn, it's amazing!"
"These are the students of the 01 class led by Zhang Ran, and the 05 class is about to graduate again, and this batch of students will definitely be popular. Yang Fan has become popular after acting in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", she has recently been filming "Zhu Xian", playing Baguio, and after "Zhu Xian" is broadcast, it will definitely become popular. The play "Zhu Xian" is being performed by Zhang Ran's 05-level students, and it will definitely be popular! I am really lucky to be Zhang Ran's student!"
"Yes, not only do you have the opportunity to play Zhang Ran's play, but Zhang Ran's company will definitely give priority to them when selecting actors. As long as you become Zhang Ran's student, you won't have to worry about having no scenes to shoot at all, just like escorting students!"
"It's not just a matter of opportunity, Zhang Ran is very strict with students, and the students he brought out are very good at acting, it makes sense that these students can be popular!"
"Not really, Liu Yifei is still his apprentice, and his acting skills are not very good!"
"Zhang Ran only took Liu Yifei for a few months, while others took it for four years, and the effect is definitely different. However, Liu Yifei seems to be enlightened now, and the golden swallow in "The King of Kung Fu" is very good. ”
Zhang Ran was also very pleased after seeing the list of the new four little flowers and the four big students, he has always hoped to establish a system that can allow new actors in the mainland to get more opportunities, and he really did it, and the students are gradually emerging and are becoming the mainstay of the Chinese film and television industry.
A few days later, the crew of "One Person's Lights" opened the media to visit the class, and Zhang Ran and the main creators were interviewed on the set. After asking a series of questions about the movie, a reporter asked: "Director Zhang, your students account for more than half of the new four little flowers and four major students in this selection, how do you feel when you see this result?"
Zhang Ran smiled: "Like all teachers, I hope that students will become talents, and their selection shows that everyone recognizes them, and I feel very relieved and happy, and feel that everything I have done has not been in vain." ”
A reporter said: "Many netizens questioned the list of this selection, and some even thought that you exerted influence, what do you think about this?"
Zhang Ran frowned, this guy is here to stir up trouble, he said very calmly: "There may be many people who think that the title of the new four little flowers is very powerful, and it will improve the popularity of the four girls and help the career." But I think the role is very small, because Zhang Ziyi and they are still in their prime, and their careers are very stable. In this case, is it worth making a big fuss?"
A reporter said: "After this list came out, did you talk to them on the phone? Do you usually have a lot of contact?"
Zhang Ran said: "If you have something, you will contact you, for example, if they have any drama to broadcast, they will call me, Mr. Zhang, my play is about to be staged, you can see how I acted." During the holidays, they would call me to tell me about how I was doing and about what I didn't understand recently. However, they knew that I had been busy lately, so they didn't contact me. Today, you come to interview, I just borrow your pen to say a few words to them, you don't take this matter very seriously, remember, for actors, what title, magazine cover, advertising endorsement is not so important, the work is the most important, the actor ultimately depends on the work to speak, so, continue to work hard acting!"
A reporter asked: "A few days ago, I went to the crew of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" to visit the class, and Mr. Han Shanping said that nearly a quarter of the scenes in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" were filmed by you. Now you are busy filming "One Man Puts on the Lights", so when are you going to shoot the scene of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic"?"
Zhang Ran nodded, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" is a tribute film, it will be released at the end of September, and it has only been more than four months now, and it is impossible to wait for the filming of "One Man to Shine the Lights" to finish, so he said: "In June, I will suspend the filming of "One Person's Lights", take the crew to the demons, and finish filming the scene of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic"!"
