Chapter 294: Wandering (Part II)
Chapter 294: Wandering (II)
Zhang Xiaogang is good at controlling the scene, and on top of the big scene, not to mention Huaxia, it is second to none in the world. The war scenes of "Mulan" that he collaborated with Wen Yi directly made countless international directors sigh to themselves. The war scenes in that film were rated first by many people.
Now that he has been invited to direct this year's Spring Festival Gala, whether it is his own appeal among the people, or his appeal among those star artists, it can make more people pay attention to this year's Spring Festival Gala.
This year's Spring Festival Gala is full of stars, and the guest lineup is better than any previous year, the most eye-catching of which is naturally Wen Yi, Cheng Jie and other "international superstars" who have made great achievements in the world! Of course, among them, Wen Yi is the most popular.
No way, the nomination of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the Oscar is really a bit amazing. In addition, his popularity is enough to discourage many Chinese stars.
Of course, Zhang Xiaogang has such a big face, and let countless big names participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, not only because of his personal affection, but also because his own skills are strong enough.
This year's Spring Festival Gala, both in terms of stage design and the choreography of the program, is much more atmospheric than in previous years. And there are a lot of innovations in it, which makes the audience feel refreshed. The most impressive thing is undoubtedly the host of the Spring Festival Gala, no longer like the previous year, not like a host, but like a newspaper, as if reciting lines, and without emotion, which makes people feel stiff.
Among the many programs, the most anticipated is undoubtedly Wen Yi's performance. But Wen Yi's expression was not arranged in the final finale, but in the middle of the time period.
Of course, at which time it is scheduled. Naturally, there are different considerations. Intermediate time. In fact, it was a turning point. Let alone. The songs sung by Wen Yi are not suitable for the back, and some are even not suitable for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In the past, the Spring Festival Gala program team was picky about the performers and their programs, but they couldn't pick Wen Yi and his songs.
Wen Yi's participation in the Spring Festival Gala was completely to give Zhang Xiaogang face, and he invited him two years ago, but he refused. And now, Wen Yi is in the limelight. It was enough for them to ignore a qiē. What's more, Wen Yi's songs are not anti-human and anti-government, but they are just happy with the Spring Festival Gala, and the joyful atmosphere is a little wrong. It's just a little different from the previous kind of only reporting good things and only saying what you feel.
Artists such as Liu Qinghua and Wen Yi actually have their own independent lounges backstage in the Spring Festival Gala. Even at the front desk, there are guest seats for them to watch other people's performances.
Liu Qinghua ran to Wen Yi's lounge, one because his show was in the back, and there was still a lot of time before the performance. The other is that he doesn't want to miss any opportunity to contact Wen Yi.
Wen Yi's new film has attracted much attention, although he has only heard about it. But it's already ready to move.
Liu Qinghua himself knows that he has reached a bottleneck in Asia. If we don't go out of Asia, I don't think there will be much chance. The career will not advance, and I am afraid that I will have to retreat.
And the person who can best get him out of Asia and take his career to the next level is none other than Wen Yi.
What is the level of Wen Yi's director and those top directors in China, Liu Qinghua is not easy to comment. But he knows that Wen Yi is definitely the biggest among Chinese directors in terms of fame in the world, especially in Hollywood. Even if he has been in Hollywood for a long time, Wu Sen, who was favored by countless Hollywood film and television companies with "Changing Face" some time ago, cannot be compared with Wen Yi.
And, most importantly, Wen Yi's films now have a better chance of being released in other parts of the world than any other big director.
He has always had a good relationship with Wen Yi, and if he asks him for a role, he won't be able to open his mouth. Okay, nature is the best. No, it's nothing. After all, he knows that a film considers more than just human relationships.
Opportunity lies in grasping. It's not about the outcome.
However, hearing Wen Yi's words, Liu Qinghua was still very happy. Although Wen Yi did not explicitly say whether he was the protagonist or not. But it doesn't matter anymore.
Although Wen Yi's movies are not as brilliant as some directors and supporting roles, the protagonist serves as a foil. But the supporting character is not a passerby either. Looking at Wang Li's international popularity is now higher than his own, it can be seen that it is general.
Wang Li really hasn't played the leading role in Wen Yi's films! Of course, Wang Liqi is more familiar with fans in North America and other places, but he is more familiar than Liu Qinghua, an Asian king-level superstar.
Liu Qinghua actually knows very well that if he and Wang Li star in a film, I am afraid that when promoting it in North America, it will not be based on himself, but on him Wang Li.
"Can you tell me what type of film it is?" Liu Qinghua asked with some expectation.
"Science fiction!" Wen Yi smiled and said.
"Hmm!" Liu Qinghua nodded, didn't ask more, then smiled and said, "I won't bother you, your performance seems to be in front of me." ”
"It's in front of you!" Wen Yi smiled and said.
"I heard that the song you sang was denied by the program team before, and I almost hit it back, but it was Zhang Daoli who overruled the public opinion and then slapped the board! What kind of song are you singing? Liu Qinghua got up, suddenly looked back at Wen Yi and asked with a smile.
"Huh!" When Wen Yi heard this, he smiled and said, "Born to Hesitate"! You should have a copy of the program, right? ”
"Born to Hesitate" is a song by Wang Feng in his previous life, and it is also a song that Wen Yi likes. In fact, what song to sing at this year's Spring Festival Gala, Wen Yi really didn't think about it seriously, so he wrote this song casually and handed over the song, as for the turmoil that was almost beaten back, I heard about it later, but I just laughed it off and didn't think much about it.
This song is a glass of liquor dedicated to all idealists, and it is an ideal song that pours all Wang Feng's sensitivity and strength after going through ups and downs.
And Wen Yi himself is now deeply touched!
"Why do we love life so much, but life breaks our hearts again and again? Why do we embrace the world, but the world always brutally destroys our dreams? ”
It turns out that we are not "born with nothing", but the ideals and beauty we seek are so far away. If the question of "how should I save zài" has not been answered by the world, and if the birth attitude of "life has nothing to seek" represents the initiative to find an exit out of the predicament, then the song "Born to Hesitate" represents that many mature and idealistic people will face it, and take the initiative to face it when they find that they cannot escape their confusion and hesitation, which requires great courage.
Wen Yi also has his own confusion and his own hesitation, he has his own things that he is avoiding and does not want to face. There are some things that he needs courage too!
Gradually accept the world, then some things have to be brave to face. And Wen Yi is obviously still hesitating now! For example, the affairs of the Song family!
Of course, Wen Yi's hesitation is not from life, nor from this world, but from himself and in his heart!
In fact, Zhang Xiaogang also asked Wen Yi afterwards why he chose such a song, because he is talented, he can write a song that suits the situation, which will make the audience laugh and be moved. But to choose such a song to vividly show the pain that you will always face in life?
"This state of hesitation does not distinguish between age, education background, or wealth, and I believe that this kind of affection is what Chinese people have at the moment. It's not that the rich and powerful don't hesitate! Doesn't it mean that successful people don't hesitate? In addition to celebrating, the Spring Festival Gala stage should also give people something to think about! ”
Wen Yi casually made up a reason at that time, and Zhang Xiaogang smiled after hearing it and didn't say anything more.
Time has gradually passed, and this year's Spring Festival Gala still gave the audience a lot of surprises. And when Wen Yi walked on the stage, the audience's eyes were all focused on him, whether in front of the stage or in front of the TV.
Wen Yi did not wear his trademark Tang costume, but wore a very casual outfit. A pair of casual leather shoes, jeans, and a white shirt jacket made a casual suit, and the white shirt was not tucked into the pants, very casual.
People rely on clothing, and Buddha relies on gold.
But a person's temperament is not set off by clothes. When Wen Yi wore Tang costumes, he had the style of a grandmaster. But today's casual clothing makes people feel a kind of literary style. (To be continued......)
