"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was originally scheduled to be released on September 16 in the mainland.

However, because "Interstellar" was scheduled for September 12, the new picture changed the file for "Hawthorn Tree Love".

With Zhang Yimou's thoughts, he must not care about competing with Wu Yuan at the same time.

It's not that he thinks he is awesome, it's just that their fifth-generation directors don't have the thinking of "avoiding the enemy", plus Zhang Yimou's transformation into a commercial film for so many years, only others have avoided him, and no one has avoided others.

It's just that Zhang Weiping, who is in charge of film distribution, is a businessman through and through, and he is also a businessman with a bad stomach, he is good at marketing, but he will not do such a lose-lose thing.

Zhang Weiping also jumped up and down while adjusting the file, saying that "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was not changed to avoid "Interstellar", but because of technical reasons, there were some imperfections in the post-production to be modified, and in order to present a perfect work to the audience, the release had to be postponed for half a month.

He believes that Zhang Yimou, as the first director in the mainland, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is his best emotional feature film, and he will definitely be able to achieve a box office result that is not inferior to "Interstellar", and will become another classic love movie in the mainland.

Under the bombardment of these press releases, a week after the release of "The Empire of Babel", on October 5, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was fully released in the mainland.

At this time, "Interstellar" has already won a total of 687 million yuan at the box office in the mainland, although it is not as exaggerated as "Avatar", but it has also set a new box office record for a film directed by a mainland director to be released in the mainland.

Well, as long as enough adjectives are given, everyone can break the record.

However, this figure is not the final box office of "Interstellar" in the mainland, just in the first week of October, "Interstellar" still won a weekly box office of 24.65 million yuan in the mainland.

Although the weekly box office champion has been snatched away by the 121 million of "Tongtian Empire", the stamina of "Interstellar" is still full, and it is expected that before the next release, the mainland box office should be able to break 700 million yuan.

It's a pity that this is not a Chinese-language film, and there is no way to break the box office record for Chinese-language films held by "Gravity" - 658 million yuan.

But Wu Yuan returned after two years and once again brought a movie with a box office of more than 600 million yuan, which still made mainland filmmakers feel what it means to be the real king of the mainland box office.

To put it bluntly, in China, Wu Yuan's status is almost the same as James Cameron's status in North America, and he is the director who sits on the box office throne unshakably.

"Interstellar" has not yet been released, and insiders have already inquired about Wu Yuan's next movie.

Wu Yuan has been in the circle for so many years, and his path is actually almost clear to everyone.

Now the actors in the circle know that Wu Yuan is a director with balanced development, every time he makes a foreign language film, he will make a Chinese film, a foreign language and a Chinese language are exchanged, walking on two legs, and developing hand in hand.

Now that the foreign language film "Interstellar" has been filmed and released, it stands to reason that Wu Yuan should be preparing his new Chinese language film.

Although Wu Yuan is not as energetic as Zhang Yimou, he can achieve the high efficiency of one being in the post-production, one being filming, one in preparation, and still writing a new script, but he basically starts to prepare for the next one after it is released, and the gap in the middle will not be too long.

According to Wu Yuan's style, he should already be preparing a new movie now, and the new movie must be a Chinese film, and the majority of Chinese actors have a lot of opportunities!

also thought of this, when "Interstellar" premiered in China, so many star actors came, all of whom wanted to be familiar with Wu Yuan in front of him before preparing a new movie, and maybe they could get the role of the new film.

Their ideas are indeed correct, Wu Yuan is indeed slowly making preparations for a new movie.

But what many people expected wrong was that Wu Yuan was not in such a hurry.

At this moment, he is sitting in the cinema with Liu Yifei, watching the just-released "Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

Rather than preparing for a new movie, he still wants to relax for a few days.

It's good to watch a new movie with your fiancée.

Although the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" can be regarded as an impressive movie in his memory, when he watches it again in the cinema this time, Wu Yuan will still be impressed by Zhang Yimou's superb directing art.

Zhang Yimou, who has returned to his best field, is really invincible.

Does Zhou Xiaoya fit the definition of "actor" label in the hearts of ordinary people?

To be honest, it doesn't really work.

Even from Wu Yuan's point of view, Zhou Xiaoya is not photogenic at all, and when filming "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", she has no acting skills at all.

But under Zhang Yimou's lens, the little yellow duck appeared just right, as if she was Jingqiu herself, this is not acting in a movie, just recording a real thing that happened in the past.

Zhou Xiaoya's pure taste on her body, coupled with the primitive spirituality that she still retains like a blank sheet of paper, has not been studied by any actor class.

Under Zhang Yimou's hands-on teaching, she showed her most perfect, or the side that suited Jingqiu perfectly.

If you change the director, even if it is the same script, it is estimated that it will be difficult to adjust to such a level and shoot such a perfect "Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

Zhang Yimou's title as the first director who can train actors in China is definitely worthy of his name.

Zhang Yimou doesn't know how many actors have been trained to be at the peak of their debut.

Zhou Dongyu left Zhang Yimou's lens, and it was impossible to shoot a work like "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

This movie can be said to be the highlight of her life, even more brilliant than "July and Ansheng", which made her win the Golden Horse actress.

No, after Liu Yifei watched the movie, he sighed with tears in his eyes: "It's really good." ”

"This heroine is just 18 years old."

"I'm really good at acting."

Hearing Liu Yifei's emotion, Wu Yuan shook his head: "It's not acting." ”

"Under Zhang Yimou, in this movie, she is Jingqiu, Jingqiu is her."

"Director Yimou didn't let her play anyone, but just mobilized her most real, unreserved, and innocent side that should belong to her age."

"That's why I've always emphasized that you should play a role at any age."

"Director Yimou has always been like this, from Gong Li, who had just entered college when the red lantern was hung high, to Zhang Ziyi, who was also seventeen or eighteen years old when "My Father and Mother" later."

"He's always been at the right age for these actors, and let them play the roles that are most suitable for them."

"In this case, the actor is usually not acting, but just releasing the truest side of his heart."

"This is the highest level of acting, playing yourself."

"This alone is enough for many domestic directors to learn for a lifetime."
