Chapter 595: A Different Path
Song Zheng chose Zhang Jingchu as the heroine of "Hurricane Rescue" because she took a fancy to her acting skills, Zhang Jingchu is not a natural actor like Zhou Xun, but she is very diligent, no matter how big or small the role is, she will do her best to act, this kind of professional attitude, I am afraid that any director will appreciate it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If Song Zheng has other thoughts, it is that he always feels that Zhang Jingchu in another world will have a great deal of development in the future.
Zhang Jingchu's acting career started from a low starting point, and it took a few years to get the opportunity to soar to the sky, which can be regarded as a lot of accumulation, Zhang Jingchu, who became famous in one fell swoop with "Peacock", was once regarded as an existence that could challenge the four major flowers.
Selected as an "Asian Hero" by Time magazine, she is "one of China's hottest movie stars" on the BBC talk show, and she is the popular actress who said that she wants to enter Hollywood.
From a popular Hua Dan, she suddenly became a frequent visitor on gossip news, and all kinds of scandals with male directors and wealthy businessmen kept appearing, as if she became synonymous with bad movies overnight, and in the end, she was reduced to a female N number with weird makeup in online dramas.
Song Zheng has been wondering in his last life, how did Zhang Jingchu's good hand of cards be broken?
Zhang Jingchu in another world acted in a series of well-known movies before she later mixed the TV drama circle, and it is no exaggeration to say that the achievements and forced style in movies are far stronger than Shuangbing.
Generally speaking, Chinese movies with a score of 7.0 on Douban are already works of conscience, flipping through Zhang Jingchu's resume, there are not a few such movies, she was once called the "goddess of literature and art", and some fans called her Xiao Zhang Ziyi.
However, after 2010, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the quality of the movies Zhang Jingchu participated in became more and more indescribable, and in 2013, she was also a part of the shocking bad movie "Fuchun Mountain Residence", which refreshed the new lower limit of Chinese films.
It is said that the vision of the actresses of the international A-class film festival should not be bad, but the level of Zhang Jing's first drama has been regressing, which is obvious to everyone.
Of course, there are such and such external factors in this, but I am afraid that her own reasons are the one that should be noticed the most.
If there is no Song Zheng's appearance, Zhang Jingchu will follow her original life trajectory and take another path, the early stage is the same, first worked in Southeast TV for a period of time, and then decided to go to Yanjing to develop, as a "North Drifter", in 1997, she was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama 97 director department junior college class.
During her school years, she took on a lot of TV series and commercials, but she has been unknown, so she changed her original name to Zhang Jingchu, hoping that the new name can have a new start and bring her good luck.
In 2003, she recommended herself to Gu Changwei, the director of the movie "Peacock", and in the auditions day after day, she finally attracted the attention of Director Gu and won the role of "sister".
This character has a delicate face, a thin body, a quiet appearance, and a stubborn heart, her dream is to be a paratrooper, and for this dream, she can be ruthless with any heart, even stubbornly and simply believing that her young body can be exchanged for something she wants.
Stubbornness, neuroticism, idealism, is the most obvious trait in the role of "sister", for the dream, versatile she breaks through the world, dare to do it, such a girl, in the closed small city is rare, but the reality is very cruel, the heart is higher than the sky, the sister finally chose to accept her fate after repeatedly hitting the wall.
At that moment, she cried about the fall of her dreams, and the audience couldn't help but break through the emotional barrier when they saw themselves overlapping with the characters in the movie, and they felt a lot.
A good role can make the audience feel a sense of substitution, her paranoia, her eagerness, her unwillingness, just like a certain part of herself, Zhang Jingchu performed "sister" with a taste, and she was only 23 years old that year.
In 2005, "Peacock" won the Silver Bear Award at the 55th Berlin Film Festival.
"The Bride with a Flower Waist" made her the Best Actress at the Beijing University Student Film Festival, and "Aromatic Journey" won the Best Actress Award at the 30th Cairo International Film Festival, and Zhang Jingchu became one of the actresses of the international A-class film festival.
It is also worth mentioning the movie "Disciple", in which Zhang Jingchu plays a drug addict. In order to play this role well, she began to contact female drug addicts half a year before the start of filming, observed their lives, interviewed them, and after arriving in Xiangjiang, she kept imagining that she was in an unhappy state.
This kind of hard work even scared director Er Dongsheng, who said in an interview: "I hope she can act in a lazy or smarter way." ”
In order to play this role well, Zhang Jingchu has almost "unscrupulous means", and in the scene where Ah Fen was eaten by rats after being poisoned, she was so dedicated that she didn't use a stand-in.
But the effect of dedication and hard work is very good, although most of the audience has not seen the scene of a real drug addict having a drug addiction, but Zhang Jing's initial performance is very realistic, so she was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards.
In 2009, Zhang Jingchu released a total of four films, namely "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai", "Red River", "Rabe's Diary", "Eavesdropping", both literary and commercial films, and that year was even called "Zhang Jing's early years" by the media.
Her acting skills are quite affirmed, and she is favored by various big directors in China, Hong Kong, and international, and the upward momentum is good, if she works harder, she may be among the first-line camp of "Four Dan and Double Ice", but after a "Tangshan Earthquake" in 2010, Zhang Jingchu seems to be gone, and it is difficult to see her in the hit movie again, according to her own words, she went to New York to "recharge", she said that because she didn't want to make a movie, she was exhausted by ultra-high-intensity work, and she didn't want to be killed, and she didn't want to be stereotyped.
After disappearing for nearly a year, Zhang Jingchu came back to filming, it was really "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi", not to mention "Fuchun Mountain Residence", suspense thrillers like "Honeymoon Hotel Murder" are also spicy, with a Douban score of only 3.6, or showing his face for a few seconds in Hollywood commercial films, and his sense of presence is almost zero.
And Zhang Jingchu, who started anew, seems to be a bit of a back-to-back word, starring in "A Desperate Love" with Huang Haibo, before the filming was finished, Huang Haibo's image plummeted because of prostitution, and the TV series was shelved.
The movie version of "The Three-Body Problem" also jumped tickets, and the official said that it would be postponed, so that fans who like Zhang Jingchu can only see her in the online drama "Painting the Bad People of the Rivers and Lakes".
Zhang Jingchu probably got into the drama too deeply when she was filming "Peacock" and couldn't get out, so that she treated her feelings with a little bit of "sister" paranoia and recklessness.
In another world, Zhang Jingchu's most well-known scandals are all related to major famous directors, and it was even rumored that Zhang Jingchu was banned by the director's wife group.
Zhang Jingchu became famous in 2003 after filming Gu Changwei's "Peacock", and then some media began to spread that the two were very close, and it is said that when filming "Peacock", the two often went shopping together.
Gu Changwei and Zhang Jingchu were photographed going out to eat together, and Zhang Jingchu also called Gu Changwei a good man.
In 2006, when Gu Changwei was preparing to shoot "Lichun", it was rumored that Zhang Jingchu was going to compete with Jiang Wenli to be the heroine, but after the movie was released, Zhang Jingchu's role was greatly reduced, and when asked this question at the press conference, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli did not make it clear, so for a while, Zhang Jingchu was involved in the marriage of Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli, and there were rumors that Jiang Wenli had slapped and beat Zhang Jingchu.
Later, Gu Changwei came out to explain that the scene was deleted for the needs of the movie, but when asked about the scandal with Zhang Jingchu, he still kept silent, and Zhang Jingchu also came out to deny it at that time, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
In 2014, when she starred in the promotion of the movie "Derailment Era", the reporter asked her if she had ever fallen in love with a married husband in her life, and this woman with a broken head actually said that everyone will encounter such a situation in their lives, and what they have to do is to clean themselves up quickly!
Well, it doesn't seem like there are many people who fall in love with their other half in life.
The reporter asked her how she cleaned up, and Zhang Jingchu said secretly: "There are many stories to tell." ”
At the time, it was reported that this was Zhang Jingchu's acquiescence to intervening in other people's marriages, but talking about old things generously during the movie promotion period inevitably made people suspect that it was hype.
Following Gu Changwei, Zhang Jingchu was then rumored to be involved between Lu Chuan and Qin Lan, Zhang Jingchu was interviewed when the scandal came out, saying that this kind of rumor was groundless.
On the occasion of the release of the movie, he posted a long Weibo response, saying that in addition to cooperating with Lu Chuan, he didn't even go out to eat, and he and Qin Lan had never met. But Qin Lan said that she and Zhang Jingchu were also good friends, so the two were probably good friends who had never met ~~~~~~~.
Later, Lu Chuan and Qin Lan broke up, and Zhang Jingchu simply said that she didn't know about it, and it had nothing to do with her.
However, later, Zhang Jingchu and Qin Lan appeared on the show together, and they seemed to have a good relationship, and they also exposed each other's mate selection conditions, which were true and false, which made the people who eat melons scratch their heads.
Zhang Jingchu seems to have the same physique as a fan of the scandal with the director, and Zhang Jiarui, the director of "The Bride with a Flower Waist", and Zhang Yuqi's ex-husband.
Every time a scandal is reported, Zhang Jingchu has to come out to deny it, and the scandal is spreading more and more, but her resources are becoming more and more general, and the attention is getting lower and lower.
For example, Zhang Jingchu was photographed suspected of being in love with her wealthy businessman boyfriend, and later was photographed watching an art exhibition with a mysterious man, suspected to be the same person.
In addition to the scandal with the director and the confusing love life, Zhang Jingchu was also accused of being a scheming and playing a big name.
At the 2006 Academy Awards, he was accused of deliberately stepping on Fan Bingbing's skirt, and it was rumored that the two were fighting openly and secretly. Some good people even took a screenshot to analyze whether Zhang Jingchu was intentional or unintentional, and broke down this moving picture, that is, Zhang Jingchu took the initiative to talk to Fan Bingbing, slowly approached, and began to act, stepping on his feet.
Some media said that the reason for this scene was that Fan Bingbing robbed Zhang Jingchu of the role that should have belonged to Zhang Jingchu, and Fan Bingbing's friends also confirmed that it was indeed she who took Zhang Jingchu, and the key reason was that Fan Bingbing's studio reached a cooperation agreement with Poly Bona at that time, which was a "gift" to join Bona.
From a frequent visitor to major film festivals to a supporting actress in TV dramas, Zhang Jingchu's situation made many people, including Song Zheng, can't help but sigh, if she didn't choose to go abroad to recharge that year, what would it be?
Zhang Jingchu once said: "Being crazy red for a few years, making a lot of money and then getting married, this must not be my way." ”
She also said that she has gained enough from this profession, yes, there are always such and such words in the entertainment industry, this flashy workplace magnified in front of the public, it is always easier to lose than to get, and getting lost is often just a thought.
But in any case, Song Zheng still hopes that Zhang Jingchu's road can get better and better, after all, she is one of the actresses that Song Zheng admires the most.
In another world, Zhang Jingchu's road has gone crooked, and now because of Song Zheng's appearance, she has the opportunity to walk again, so far, Zhang Jingchu's road seems to be very smooth.
"I Love You" made Zhang Jingchu leap into the ranks of potential newcomers in China, "My Captain, My Group", her acting skills are highly recognized, and "Peacock" filmed last year, after its release, although the box office is average, her performance has won many praises.
In general, as long as Zhang Jingchu can go on this road steadily, don't go through the fork in the road because of confusion, her future road will only become more and more stable, and then, as people expect, go all the way up and reach a new peak.
In an apartment building in Chongwen District, Yanjing, Zhang Jingchu was busy making lunch for herself, she just came back yesterday, after filming, she went home for two days, and then returned to Yanjing non-stop.
She is now a little famous in China, although she is still some distance from the position of the four major flowers, but among the young generation of actresses, she can be regarded as a leader.
Zhang Jingchu didn't know that if there was no Song Zheng's appearance, without Song Zheng changing her fate, she would only be emerging at most now, and her acting career would not begin to smooth until next year's "Peacock" was exhibited in Berlin and won the Silver Bear Award in one fell swoop.
But in the current situation, Zhang Jingchu is already very satisfied, she has filming, making money, and taking care of her family, what is she not satisfied with.
If there's anything that makes her unsatisfied, it's only emotional issues.
Coming out of the kitchen with a large plate of fried rice, she picked up a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth like a world-weary person, and when she came back for a day, she tried to make a phone call to Song Zheng, but no one answered, which made her, who has always been emotional, suddenly empty in her heart, and all kinds of heart congestion made her feel depressed.
was eating, the mobile phone rang, picked it up and looked at it, the originally calm expression immediately became excited, and the mobile phone screen clearly displayed one by one Song Zheng!
I took a few quick bites, swallowed all the food in my mouth, calmed down, and pressed the connect button.
"Hey~~~~~~~ hey!
"Xiao Chu!Are you back!?"
Song Zheng over there had just left the house and was about to go to see Ning Hao, and the two of them discussed the promotion of "Crazy Stone" together, and when they got in the car, they thought about calling Zhang Jingchu and explaining to her first.
Zhang Jingchu is not the student he pulled out to play the MV at the beginning, after several movies and TV series have been filmed, Zhang Jingchu is now the closest to the first-line actress in the second-tier coffee.
In case there is no schedule at the beginning of Jingchu, the role of the daughter in "Hurricane Rescue" may have to be played by a different person.
"Just came back yesterday!"
After coming back yesterday, Zhang Jingchu plucked up the courage to call Song Zheng, she had a lot to say, but now that Song Zheng called, she didn't know what to say.
Song Zheng didn't notice anything unusual about Zhang Jingchu, and said casually: "That's it, you come to the studio tomorrow, I'm going to make a movie, and there is a role in it that suits you very well." ”
Song Zheng's movie, Zhang Jingchu's heart was faintly excited, and she hurriedly said: "Okay! Brother Zheng! I know, otherwise, I'll go over now!"
Song Zheng smiled: "It's not so urgent, you just came back, take a good rest, just come back tomorrow, when the time comes, let's have a good chat!"
Zhang Jingchu hurriedly agreed, and was about to say something else, but Song Zheng hung up the phone because of an emergency.
Looking at the blackened screen, Zhang Jingchu's heart was excited, but also a little bit of loss.
Of course she was happy to be able to film with Song Zheng, but Song Zheng seemed to only be willing to talk to her about work, which made Zhang Jingchu inevitably disappointed.
Song Zheng on the other side didn't know that he could make Zhang Jingchu's mood so complicated with a phone call, and when he drove on the road, he immediately sent Ning Hao a call.
Ning Hao has been like growing hair in his heart in the past few days, and he can't settle down during the New Year, all the later stages of "Crazy Stone" have been completed and handed over to Song Zheng, but after waiting for a few days, his heart began to be a little confused, and he didn't know what was going on and how far the release was going.
Just when Ning Haobai was scratching his heart, Song Zheng's phone called, and when he heard Song Zheng say that he wanted to talk about the promotion of "Crazy Stone", a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Okay! I'll be right over!"
After hanging up the phone, Ning Hao couldn't wait to go out, and he couldn't help but be excited, strictly speaking, "Crazy Stone" is his first work!
Although he added a lot of private goods during the filming of "Night Club", the script was provided by Song Zheng from beginning to end, and even how to shoot it, Song Zheng arranged it.
Although "Incense" was written and directed by Ning Hao, it had no chance to be released in China at all, at most it was self-entertainment.
"Crazy Stone" is different, this is his hard work.
