Zhang Jiayi participated in the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He played a role in it, with only thirty seconds of appearance time and two lines, which the audience may not recognize at all if you don't look carefully.

In the two-hour film, in order to highlight the plot of the starring role, the supporting roles were greatly cut.

Even Zhang Guoli only kept five minutes of footage.

Li Yu's purpose is very simple, that is, to focus the audience's attention on the protagonist, cut off the side branches and leaves, and make the plot more compact and coherent, all in one go.

However, this results in the supporting characters not playing their due role, and the characters are not plump enough.

Viewers will feel that this story is lacking, especially those who have read the original novel.

Lin Zixuan has asked people to start editing the three-hour version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", increasing the role of supporting roles and telling the story more completely.

This is the version for subsequent videotapes and discs, called the extended version or the full version.

There is also a version that was prepared after the Oscars, called the re-release version.

Each version of the story is similar, adding plot segments that were not in the original version, maximizing the value of the film, which is a common tactic used by film companies.

Ten years later, a restored version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be released, and the nostalgia of the audience will be used to make money.

Zhang Jiayi didn't feel sorry, it would be good to be able to participate in this kind of big production.

After watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he had the same doubts as Feng Xiaogang, how could this film be popular in Cannes, and do foreigners really like to watch it so much?

He asked Xu Jinglei this question privately just now.

"I don't know, but it's true, the audience at Cannes was so enthusiastic that they applauded for several minutes after watching the film, and they couldn't get excited. Xu Jinglei described, "Some reporters said that this is the most romantic oriental movie he has ever seen." ”

Zhang Jiayi thinks that this may be the difference between Eastern and Western audiences.

There are still many people with this kind of doubt, and Chinese filmmakers have always said that they want to go out, but how to go out and how to compete with Hollywood commercial blockbusters are not in their hearts.

Relying on literary films to compete with Hollywood blockbusters will not work.

Even if it's Zhang Yimou's literary film, it's no problem to win the award Zhang Yimou, but in the end, it's still the box office.

Feng Xiaogang led the boom of low-cost commercial comedies in China, making everyone think that they had found a new way, at least at the domestic box office.

However, if you look at what happened to "The Funeral of a Big Shot" in North America, you can see that it is not easy to get out.

Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a new attempt and something to look forward to.

It's just that after watching the movie, they can't help but beat drums in their hearts, will this kind of movie be a new way out for domestic films?

Zhang Jiayi returned to his residence, he bought a house in the capital, and spent more than 400,000 yuan on decoration, which is an ordinary two-bedroom apartment.

In the past two years, he has acted in several plays and entered the ranks of first-line actors, and he has a lot of money.

Anyway, I finally have a nest, and renting a house will have a sense of wandering, and I can't settle down, so it's better to live in my own house.

Zhang Jiayi took off his suit and hung it in the closet.

This is the costume for participating in various ceremonies, and the male actor is simpler than the female actor in this regard, and one suit can cope with various occasions, unlike the actress who has to prepare countless dresses.

He poured himself a cup of tea and sat down on the sofa in the living room to rest.

On the coffee table was an open script, on which was written and drawn in pencil to record the experience.

This is a drama about doctors.

It tells the story of several doctors in a hospital, involving problems such as difficulty in seeing a doctor, conflicts between doctors and patients, traffickers, and the transfer of interests between hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.

It is a TV series that truly reflects the profession of doctors.

In the new century, Lin Zixuan put forward the concept of shooting professional dramas in the company's TV drama production department.

Professional dramas are TV dramas about all walks of life in society, such as criminal police, teachers, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, and scientific researchers.

The difference between professional dramas and general TV dramas lies in specialization, which should convey the concept of that profession and shape the spiritual outlook of employees.

Create a series from the perspective of professional knowledge and the industry as a whole.

It has been ten years since the early nineties to the present ten years of domestic TV dramas, and the audience is no longer satisfied with historical dramas, urban dramas and idol dramas, they have higher requirements.

Young audiences, in particular, want to see something different.

In addition, Japanese and Korean TV dramas have been introduced to China by various TV stations and are gradually sought after by young people.

The domestic TV drama industry is facing an impact.

Lin Zixuan created a professional drama at this time to enrich the shooting theme of the domestic TV drama market.

However, in the complex social environment of China, how to achieve a balance between inspiration, reflection and entertainment in professional dramas is a problem that producers need to consider.

A professional drama should not only be inspirational and entertaining, but also be able to bring the audience to think.

Lin Zixuan plans to start with a doctor first, and then a soldier, and the lawyer's words are currently a minefield in China.

Everyone needs to see a doctor, and there will be various problems in the process of seeing a doctor, as long as the shooting is true and credible, it is easy to resonate with the audience.

Zhang Jiayi received this script, and Lin Zixuan designated him to act.

He also wants to try different roles and broaden his acting path.

Since he plays a doctor, he has to know something about this profession, and he will spend the next month in the hospital observing the daily work of doctors and experiencing life.

After resting for a while, Zhang Jiayi opened his eyes, took a sip of tea, picked up the script and continued to read it.

Figuring out the script is a compulsory course for an actor, and he has to do his homework well.

The next day, reviews about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" appeared on major entertainment pages, and word of mouth was polarized.

The reporter interviewed the audience, and some viewers directly said that they didn't understand it, the rhythm was too literary and artistic, and they were impatient to watch.

Some viewers feel that it is too different from the novel and ruins the original work.

There are also viewers who think that the fights in the movie are very exciting, and the scenery around the place is pleasing to the eye.

Critics were divided into two camps, with those who liked Western films holding "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in high esteem, and those who adhered to Oriental sentiments believing that the film was not original enough.

This is where the argument begins.

Taking the fight in the restaurant as an example, some people pointed out that the collapse of the building at the end of the restaurant was a Western method, and there is no such rhythm in Chinese martial arts films.

But in this paragraph, Li Yu uses the idea of Peking Opera gongs and drums to match the rhythm of the fight, which is an oriental element.

Why must martial arts films be original and not changed slightly?

The first martial arts films were not the taste of now, but after decades of continuous research and polishing by generations of filmmakers, it is alive and developing.

Culture is alive, and movies are also alive, and they can't be set in stone.
