The warm applause lasted for more than ten minutes, the audience was constantly applauding, and Chen Shuo and others were constantly bowing and thanking back.

Seeing that so many people really like it, endless pride and a sense of accomplishment rise in their hearts.

After the applause ended, the audience was divided into two parts, and some media reporters followed Chen Shuo and others to find an open space outside for interviews.

Another part of the film companies gathered Zhang Weiping, Jiang Zhiqiang and others to find a room and began to discuss the issue of agency distribution rights.

Zhang Weiping didn't need to say much here, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei followed Zhang Yimou out of the Bazin Hall and found a suitable place for an interview.

Zhang Yimou sat in the middle, Liu Yifei and Zhang Ziyi were on either side of him, while Chen Shuo and Andy Lau sat on the outermost part.

Before the five of them sat down, the flash kept coming on, and after sitting down, it continued to shoot for several minutes.

Chen Shuo's eyes were about to send.

It wasn't until everyone's faces were about to freeze that the rest of the interview process began.

The reporter of the movie channel took the lead in asking: "May I ask Director Zhang, "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" are both movies with martial arts backgrounds, what do you think is the difference between them? ”

This problem is inevitable, Zhang Yimou has a total of two commercial films, both of which are martial arts movies, so it is inevitable that they will be compared.

He also had an answer to this, and said calmly: "Both movies are about love, but "Hero" is metaphysical and about the feelings of family and country.

And "Ambush on All Sides" is metaphysical, so it shows the love and hatred between ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. ”

Regardless of whether they speak Chinese or not, most of the reporters who come to cover the media can understand it, or they are equipped with interpreters.

"Speaking of ambush on all sides, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is a large-scale war scene, but compared with the overwhelming epic war scenes in "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides" seems to be too inferior, I don't know why Director Zhang chose such a name?"

"Thousands of people strategized and commanded a decisive battle, which can be called an ambush on all sides. But in the same way, the layers of true and false emotional ambushes are not a more dangerous war.

"Ambush on All Sides" is not an ambush of the nature of war, but an emotional entanglement, an emotional ambush of true and false, everyone has already seen the movie, and must be able to appreciate the meaning of the title of the movie.

The reason why I chose this name is that when I was composing the music, I asked someone to play a song "Ambush on All Sides" for Mr. Merlin Mao, and suddenly I understood this truth and felt that this name was very suitable. ”

Another reporter raised his hand and asked, "I want to ask Director Zhang, shouldn't blind people have restrictions on their movements?"

Why is it that in your video, this young lady acts like an ordinary person with her eyes closed, so that it really doesn't mislead the audience? ”

Zhang Yimou listened to it and said with some excitement: "That's a good question, and when I say this, I have to introduce this Miss Liu Yifei next to me."

Originally, I wanted her to play a 'blind man with bright eyes', and in my vision, she needed to imitate her behavior like a blind person, but her eyes should be brighter than normal.

However, she gave me an unexpected surprise, when she experienced the life of a blind person blindfolded, she gradually got used to that state, and in the end, she actually closed her eyes like an ordinary person.

Actually, I was hesitant to do this at the beginning, but as you can see, in the end, I still presented it truthfully in the movie. ”

"Impossible!" Most of the reporters were in an uproar when they heard this, and retorted: "This is impossible, the eyes are the most important organ for human beings to receive information from the outside world."

Without eyes, people's living habits will be greatly affected, and it is absolutely impossible to be so relaxed. ”

"No matter how much you say, it's better for everyone to witness it with their own eyes." Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "How about letting Miss Liu Yifei perform to everyone next?" ”

"How to perform?"

"How about a few volunteers come over and stand in their own places, and then Miss Liu will deliver tomorrow's premiere tickets to you?"

Before that, everyone had long thought that many people would question this matter, and they had already thought of more than a dozen ways to deal with it.

Ticket-giving like this is just one of them.

At this time, everyone raised their hands enthusiastically, and the host responsible for maintaining the order of the interview selected more than a dozen reporters to come forward, and the others picked up cameras and video recorders to prepare to record this moment.

Sixteen reporters were randomly distributed in the field, Liu Yifei got up and held more than a dozen movie tickets, closed his eyes, felt everyone's existence, and freely handed over the tickets to everyone's hands.

There was no hesitation in her movements, and there was not the slightest mistake or omission.

Even if someone deliberately reaches to the side, she can change positions with them.

Seeing this scene, everyone still felt incredible, thinking that she secretly opened her eyes.

However, the man across from her could be assured that she had closed her eyes tightly, leaving absolutely no gaps.

There are still some people who do not give up and propose to cover her eyes with a cloth, only to find that it is still the case, which makes everyone have to be convinced, and sigh that the world is so big.

Most of the next questions revolve around Liu Yifei.

When he learned that she was only seventeen years old now, he was amazed.

"Miss Liu, how do you feel about participating in Director Zhang's film for the first time?"

Liu Yifei thought for a while and said: "There are quite a lot, and the most direct feeling is that my acting skills have been qualitatively improved, and Director Zhang is really good at training actors."

Chen Shuo said before that a large part of my performance is obtained by eating talent, and every role I have played before has a greater fit with myself, which can be said to be half of my true colors.

But in this work, it is different, the little sister in the film is not very similar to me, it can be said that she has reshaped a 'me'.

I wonder if everyone will have any impression of this character? ”

The reporter nodded again and again: "Yes, I can clearly record every scene you have in the film." ”

Liu Yifei said happily when she heard this: "That's good, it seems that my performance is not bad, and I have lived up to Director Zhang's guidance." ”

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "If you want to say that everyone is most impressed by you, it may be the picture when you dance."

But what I want to say is that what impressed me the most was the smile of my little sister in the snow as she passed away in the wind.

That made me feel that the concept of love that I want to express in this film is not wrong. ”

Some people couldn't help but agree with it, but some people expressed their doubts because of this.

"May I ask Director Zhang, don't you think the relationship between Suifeng and Xiaomei in the play has developed too fast?

If I remember correctly, it was only three short days from their acquaintance to their death.

Is it really possible to have such a strong feeling of life and death in three days?

Don't you think it's unreasonable? ”

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said seriously: "I don't think the speed of their love development is abnormal.

Love is sometimes very rational, but there is no way to control it.

Sometimes, two people may live together for 30 years, but they can't withstand the heart-rending feeling brought by three days of relationship. ”

Saying that, he looked at Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei and said, "Regarding this issue, you might as well ask our protagonists, what do they think?" ”

The reporter turned the question to the two and asked, "Do you agree with Director Zhang's statement?" ”

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Shuo and said, "I haven't experienced it, so I don't know if it's right or not, but I feel that there will always be two destined lovers in the world."

And when they meet together, they must be able to produce such a blazing love like a flame. ”

Chen Shuo continued: "We have an ancient Chinese saying, which is called 'the white head is like new, and the cover is the same'.

It means that although some people have been friends for a long time, they are like first acquaintances. Some people have just met, but it seems that they have known each other for a long time.

That's what we're talking about.

No one can guarantee whether this kind of relationship can last, but in a crisis-ridden environment, it is possible to be as short and bright as in the play.

Of course, if you talk about the feelings in the play, you can't just talk about the feelings of Sui Feng and the little sister.

Liu Zhutou and the eldest sister, Liu Zhutou and the second sister are also a kind of feelings.

Perhaps, if Suifeng and the little sister did not die, as time went by, they would also go on the same path as Liu Zhutou and the eldest sister, from love to hate, and finally life and death.

But now there are no ifs, there are just their pure and fiery fire of love.

The three relationships of the five characters actually show several possibilities of love.

Love is a very grand topic, not one or two people, nor can it be summarized in one sentence or two.

I think Director Zhang just showed the color of love he saw in the film through us. ”

For his statement, everyone is very acceptable.

Indeed, there is not only one color of love, and everyone can see their own color in it.

Maybe it's green?

Zhang Yimou continued: "Actually, we are not afraid of the film being questioned, and all the controversies that everyone has about this work are affirmations of us.

In this type of movie, if you want to create a climax of 3 minutes, it may only be one of the clips that will be remembered in the end.

But these 3 minutes are something that the audience has never seen, and that's enough. ”

As soon as these words came out, this question was immediately raised to a higher level.

How to define a good work?

Praise from film critics? Make the audience love? Or is it for the world to remember?

If it's just to be remembered, then this film undoubtedly does it.

And it's not remembered as a joke, but it has something amazing about it.

Such as that section of the water sleeve blow inspired.

This four-minute dance will be remembered.

After chatting about this topic for a while, I also interviewed and praised Chen Shuo.

The reporter pointed the question at Andy Lau again.

"We all know that Mr. Andy Lau has now become the new Golden Horse actor. When you were filming Director Zhang's scene, would you feel like you were at ease? ”

"Thank you." Andy Lau first clasped his hands together and thanked the reporter for mentioning his Golden Horse actor, and then said: "On the contrary, I feel that I have done my best to perform, but I always feel that I still do not meet Director Zhang's requirements." ”

"Director Zhang, is that so?"

"Andy is modest, in fact, he performed very well, we came to him because we thought he could play this role."

"Thank you Director Zhang for your recognition and forbearance."

Someone else asked, "What does Mr. Liu think is lacking?" ”

Andy Lau said seriously: "The portrayal after the final conspiracy was exposed was a little insufficient, and I always felt that my acting was not so good." ”

He really felt that he didn't act well enough in the final section, and he didn't perform the feeling of being ambitious and giving up everything for the sake of desire.

"Indeed, when we were watching it at the time, we always felt that Liu Zhutou should be released more, so does this mean that your performance in that scene is not qualified?"

Hearing this, Andy Lau couldn't help but change his eyes, this question can already be said to be full of malice.

If he admits that his performance at that time was unqualified, wouldn't it mean that his Golden Horse actor is a bit of a wasted name?

If you deny it, you have already said it just now, and you feel insufficient, isn't that a slap in the face?

looked at the reporter, it was from Xiangjiang, so it was no wonder.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, Chen Shuo suddenly said: "Actually, I can't say that, the reason why Brother Hua feels that he hasn't acted enough is because he is too kind, and when he plays such a role, he will be unbearable."

As Director Zhang said, Brother Hua was invited to play because he was suitable for this role.

It can be seen from the snow battle that Liu Zhutou is not a ruthless person, he will leave in despair because of the death of his daughter.

Therefore, at the last moment, although he longs for power, it does not mean that he has no feelings for the eldest sister and the Flying Knife Gate.

It was precisely because he did not reach the point of ruthlessness that he was killed by the wind in the end.

In other words, in fact, Brother Hua's interpretation is the correct interpretation of this character, and there is no problem at all. ”

Zhang Yimou also continued: "Yes, we have been interceding from beginning to end of this movie.

All people are alive, people with feelings, they live for love and die for love.

I don't know what to do, go deep, the living can die, and the dead can live.

Those who are born and cannot be resurrected, and those who die and cannot be resurrected are not lovely.

It is precisely because of the feelings that there is the heroism of Suifeng and the little sister, the life and death entanglement between Liu Zhutou and the eldest sister, and this drama. ”

Cinema is a wonderful thing, it is not created, but the flash of inspiration of many creators, and then the discovery of something that already exists.

Just like "Ambush on All Sides", when Zhang Yimou and others first created it, they had nothing to do with this story.

But just like that, with the change over and over again, and the polishing over and over again, there was a preliminary prototype.

has gone through all kinds of tribulations, all kinds of compromises and flashes of inspiration, which has created today's version of "Ambush on All Sides".

However, a version of the work that has been finalized also has a different appearance in the eyes of different people.

That's the beauty of the work.
