Chapter Forty-Three: See the National Teacher Again
While Liu Ye and Qin Hailu in the Four Musketeers of the Drama Academy were filming in full swing, Deng Chao's pursuit of Hao Yan was also in full swing, although it may only be Deng Chao's unilateral pursuit.
As the last of the Four Musketeers, Gu Bei also received a job to promote the release of "My Father and Mother", and Gu Bei also met the other two leading actors of the movie for the first time, Zheng Hao and Zhang Ziyi.
"Xiaobei, here! Sit down for a while. When Zhang Yimou saw Gu Bei walk into the backstage lounge, he smiled and said, "Haven't you taken on any new plays recently?" ”
"I'm busy studying, but there is a scene that will start filming in about a month."
"Oh? What play? ”
"It was filmed by director Huo Jianqi, adapted from Mr. Peng Jianming's "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".
Hearing this, Zhang Yimou nodded, so he didn't ask any more questions, and instead said: "This is Zheng Hao, and Zhang Ziyi, both from your school, they should know each other, right?" ”
"Acquaintance." Gu Bei hurriedly stood up, "Teacher Zheng Hao just taught us the shape of the 98-level performance department, although he didn't teach us the film and television acting class, but I have also heard of it, Senior Sister Zhang Ziyi is also very familiar, I have a good time with Liu Ye in my senior sister's class, and I often listen to Liu Ye." ”
Zheng Hao shook Gu Bei's hand with a smile and said, "I may be in your class next year, puppet shape, quite an interesting class." ”
"Oh, then I'm looking forward to taking Mr. Zheng's class next year."
Seriously, Zhang Ziyi is the first time to step into the showbiz, and she has made a movie before, but the response is mediocre, basically no one has seen it, she is still a newcomer, and she is in her best years, with collagen on her face, she looks very young and beautiful, and she is also very charming.
Zhang Ziyi also shook hands with Gu Bei generously: "I have a good relationship with Liu Ye, we are the youngest two people in the class, and there are relatively many topics, the reputation of the Four Musketeers of your Drama Academy is very big, especially you, the big sword, right." ”
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Gu Bei accidentally took a breath and said, "It's all nonsense from classmates, false names, all false names, so there is no need to mention it." ”
"What kind of false name, I heard that Liu Ye and Hai Lu are both taking over the play, and that Deng Chao will also take over the play soon, right? have signed with performing arts companies. You Four Musketeers are really famous. ”
Gu Bei also knew that what Zhang Ziyi said was also true, but he still smiled modestly and said: "I can't say for sure, maybe one day whoever will be popular, and whoever will not be popular." ”
"That's exactly what it means, but some wrists can be popular for a lifetime." Zhang Yimou also intervened in the topic of the two people, "Ge You is such a person, he has a feeling of being handy, what is acting like." ”
"Teacher Ge You has acted for so many years, and it is indeed not comparable to ordinary people." Gu Bei also admired these old drama bones, and his admiration naturally rose, "I have also been fortunate to watch Mr. Ge You filming before, as well as Mr. Chen Daoming and several other old drama bones, and I have indeed learned a lot of things." ”
"You've seen them film?" Not only Zhang Ziyi, but also Zheng Hao and Zhang Yimou didn't expect it.
Seeing the reactions of several people, Gu Bei smiled slightly and said: "I have worked in the crew before, and I often run to major film and television bases, and occasionally I can meet some old drama bones filming, whenever I have time, I like to stand on the side and take a look, I thought that I would have the opportunity to ask for a few autographs or something, but my level is still not enough, and I can't get it." ”
"I'll introduce them to you when I have a chance." Zhang Yimou smiled indifferently, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"According to your current development trend, it will be faster to cooperate with these wrists, don't worry, first settle down and polish your acting skills." Zheng Hao said earnestly, while affirming Gu Bei, he was also spurring Gu Bei.
Gu Bei casually glanced at Zhang Ziyi next to him, suddenly thought of something, and then said, "I'm still early, senior sister may be soon." ”
"Me? Why am I so fast? ”
"This movie will definitely let audiences across the country know a beautiful and powerful actress, and ......" Gu Bei looked at Zhang Yimou, "There's news from the film festival, right?" ”
"How do you know?" Zhang Yimou was surprised at first, and then said, "Since Xiaobei mentioned it, I just told you about it, I handed the film to the Berlin International Film Festival, and the organizer also sent an invitation letter, it is estimated that in two days, the shortlist will be announced." ”
"Really? Director Zhang? Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up.
"The matter is basically decided, and you will try to go with me when the time comes." Zhang Yimou's mood was very calm, but he could also hear the joy in his tone, "But, Xiaobei, how did you know about this?" ”
"Guess, the film made by the director will definitely be sent to the three major international competitions, the Venice Film Festival pays more attention to the artistry of the film, especially the reform of film technology, the Cannes Film Festival is commercial, "My Father and Mother" tells the love story of decades ago, and it is relatively plain, naturally there will be no commerciality, and there is not much artistic exploration in the shooting, these two film festivals are basically five yuan, but the film has a deep social meaning, reflecting the normal life of that period, which is social, The Berlinale pays more attention to the social nature of films. ”
"Do you still have research on these?"
"I can't talk about research, but I know a little bit." Gu Bei really admired HC Old Demon for knowing so much about the film festival, just to write a broken book.
"Then how can you be sure that the movie will be shortlisted?"
"One is the name, the director's name, the international prestige can not be underestimated, and the other is that "My Father and Mother" itself is very good, and then it is the style of the Berlin International Film Festival in recent years, there is a little preference for films, especially in the last ten years, from the director's "Red Sorghum" to the later "Sense and Emotion", "Wedding Banquet", "Ruan Lingyu" and so on, basically every year there is a shadow of Chinese films, and it has also won a lot of Golden Bear Awards, Silver Bear Awards, not to mention others, There are only four or five films that have won the highest award, the Golden Bear, so the judges of the Berlin International Film Festival in recent years seem to be a little biased towards Chinese films. ”
After a little consideration, Gu Bei said: "If nothing else, the director's "My Father and Mother" is at least a Silver Bear Award. ”
Zhang Yimou glanced at Gu Bei up and down, and said, "Hey, what you said, after the press conference is over in a while, should I have a drink with you?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Bei immediately smiled and said: "It's right to drink with the director, but it must be me who respects the director, I don't dare to say that the director picked me up all of a sudden, but this play does bring me a lot of things." ”
"Haha, we'll talk about it then!" Zhang Yimou heard good words, although he knew that he was suspected of sycophancy, but he could also feel the sincerity in Gu Bei's words.
