Chapter Eighty-Nine: Repercussions

After the premiere, the next day all the media headlines were about the play "My Father and Mother", which was equivalent to another free promotion of the film.

Filmweek wrote: "My father and mother reflected a Chinese style of love, which was very subtle and indescribable, and it was very tenacious and indomitable. ”

"Weekend Entertainment" even focuses on some implicit symbols in the movie: "Whether it is the mother walking dozens of miles of mountain roads around to find the hairpin given by her father, or the idea of her grandmother repairing the blue and white bowl for her daughter, all of them reveal the simple but touching love of the mother for the father." ”

"Yenching Times" entertainment edition: "This is a quiet movie, it has a simple power, and it profoundly interprets what it means to hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son." ”

The famous film critic Liu Yanfei gave Zhang Yimou great praise for this film in a column, he wrote: "This film is undoubtedly a good movie, the music is a classic from the picture, the picture is as exquisite and beautiful as photography, and the combination of music and plot is even more natural, I believe it will become a monument in the history of Chinese film." ”

The famous domestic director Xue Gengsheng put it succinctly: "This is a fairy tale that takes place in autumn, with an old face and a love that never gets old." ”

……

The entire entertainment industry applauded this movie almost one-sidedly, and at the same time, the acting skills of several main characters in the film were also greatly appreciated.

**The network pointed out with a clear attitude: ""My Father and Mother" is a work that makes people move to tears, and the heroine Zhang Ziyi plays a particularly big role in it, and she portrays the love of a young rural girl very perfectly. ”

A reporter from Phoenix.com also published an article saying: "This is a small-scale movie with connotation, and the whole movie does not seem empty at all, because Zhang Yimou has selected an excellent heroine, in which the heroine Zhang Ziyi's persistent love falls in the beautiful woods and crooked mountain roads, and in almost painful despair, she finally waits for the fragrant fruit." ”

Lin Zhimo's acting skills in this movie have also been praised by all parties, although most viewers can hardly remember Lin Zhimo's face after watching the whole film, but it is precisely because of this that Lin Zhimo's acting skills are superb.

A fan said in an interview: "To be honest, I came to see this film because of Lin Zhimo, but after watching it, I can't recall any of Lin Zhimo's performances in my mind, and the most important thing is that Lin Zhimo's shots are not a lot, I think this is not only because Lin Zhimo's shots are all black and white images." ”

A famous film critic also wrote: "Turning a stone into gold is as simple as painting it with a layer of gold paint; But it's hard to turn a piece of gold into stone. In this movie, Lin Zhimo did a good job of how to cover up the light on his body, which is commendable. ”

Of course, there is no absolute in anything, and in this piece of applause, CCTV's movie channel issued a voice of doubt about Zhang Ziyi: "Why did I only see Zhang Ziyi constantly laughing and running in the whole movie?" And the urban atmosphere on her body is too strong, and it does not show the image of a rural girl at all. ”

A reporter interviewed Zhang Yimou about this incident, and Zhang Yimou was not surprised by this, he said: "I always insist that in addition to entertaining the public, movies should also let the public enjoy it." Therefore, I definitely can't choose the image of a rural girl who "gets rid of the dirt". And because there is no gripping plot in the whole film, and the performance of the details is also very monotonous, it is no wonder that some people will be dissatisfied with Zhang Ziyi's performance. ”

At the end of the interview, Zhang Yimou said: "My Father and Mother tells the story of a Chinese-style family, and it is the first time I use poetry, romance, lyricism and simplicity to express the love story of an era. The composition of this film is clean and clean, and it pursues the artistic conception of seeing the big from the small in traditional aesthetics, which is a very oriental theme and aesthetic realm. They simply amplified the girl Zhaodi's obsession with love into the words 'wait, chase, find, and watch', which is the most successful part of the film. If the choice of Zhang Ziyi was a mistake, then it is also a 'beautiful mistake'. ”

……

As for the evaluation on the Internet or other media, Lin Zhimo only paid a little attention to it, and didn't pay much attention to it, what he is most concerned about now is when this "Young Bao Qingtian" will be officially filmed. Because of the late start, this drama has to be filmed on New Year's Eve, and Lin Zhimo has accepted the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala again, and he has to find time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals during the filming process, it can be said that the time is very tight, so Lin Zhimo is looking forward to filming quickly.

The scenes filmed this time are mainly in the Nanhai Film and Television City in eastern Guangdong Province, which is one of the four major film and television bases directly under CCTV. After all, deep in the south, even though it is late autumn at this time, there is still a hot air in the air here.

"Director Hu, I want to ask, does Bao Zheng usually have any habits in this drama, or do you have small actions or something?" A few days after Lin Zhimo entered the crew, he became very familiar with director Hu Mingkai, and then began to chase after Hu Mingkai and constantly ask this and that.

Hu Mingkai, like Zhang Yimou and Li An, was gratified by Lin Zhimo's diligence and inquisitiveness at the beginning, after all, whether a drama can succeed depends not only on the director, but also on whether an actor has a spiritual surname and is willing to work hard, and Lin Zhimo's impression on Hu Mingkai is undoubtedly very good.

But now, Hu Mingkai has discounted his initial impression, because Lin Zhimo really has too many problems, as if he is not going to act in an idol TV series, but like a literary film that is about to participate in international awards. Hu Mingkai was annoyed by Lin Zhimo's question, but you can't speak ill of him yet, because that would be too damaging to other actors' positive surnames.

Therefore, now Hu Mingkai has to stay away as long as he sees Lin Zhimo holding the script from a distance, but this time it is obvious that he can't have time, so he has to bite the bullet and say: "Well, he doesn't have any special actions, you just watch the arrangement yourself." After speaking, I felt that I had simply lost face as a director, and I was ashamed to retreat.

Li Binbin, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile when he saw Hu Mingkai's embarrassed appearance, and then leaned over to Lin Zhimo and asked, "Sesame, can you let me see your script, it's not suitable for us, why do you have so many questions?" ”

Li Binbin only joined the crew this morning, but Lin Zhimo invited her to a light meal at noon and became familiar with Lin Zhimo.

After Lin Zhimo wrote down a few questions on the script, he raised his head and said with a smile: "It's not that my script is different from yours, it's that I'm naturally stupid, and if I don't give me a detailed role information, I will play it very awkwardly." ”

Lin Zhimo can only say this, otherwise can he blame other actors for not being dedicated, in the end, this is just an idol TV series, and it doesn't have to be so serious.

Li Binbin took the script from Lin Zhimo's hand, and couldn't help but exclaim as soon as he glanced at it, only to see that Lin Zhimo's script was already full of dense small characters, some were about Bao Zheng's walking speed, some were about expressions, some were about the size of the voice, and some actually wrote what kind of lens the cameraman should use.

Li Binbin originally just took a look out of curiosity, but after reading it, she couldn't help but feel ashamed in her heart, she glanced at Lin Zhimo seriously and said: "Sesame, don't laugh at me, if you are still a stupid actor, then what am I?" ”

Although Li Binbin looks young, and there is even some baby fat on her face, she is 25 years old, strictly speaking, half of the golden age of an actress is 18 to 30 years old, and she is now only playing a slightly more important female lead in this TV series.

Li Binbin originally had a trace of prejudice against Lin Zhimo in his heart, but he just thought that he would become the protagonist of this drama because of his musical achievements, but now seeing the content of Lin Zhimo's script, Li Binbin couldn't help but feel ashamed of his thoughts, because he had never worked as hard as him when acting in any TV series.

"No wonder he can be favored by Zhang Yimou and Li An." Li Binbin secretly said in his heart, while he felt a wave of admiration for Lin Zhimo, he was also determined to perform well in this play.
