Chinese directors are accustomed to dividing different eras by generation, and each generation of directors has distinct characteristics of the times.

The influential third-generation directors "South Xie" Xie Jin "Furong Town" and "North Xie" Xie Tieli "Dream of Red Mansions", Xie Jin gave the baton to Jiang Wen, and Xie Tieli made Liu Xiaoqing popular.

Lao Jiang can play "Furong Town", all thanks to the recommendation of his girlfriend Liu Xiaoqing, Xu Chen is a model for my generation.

The fourth-generation director "Lao Teng" gave the fifth-generation director "Brother Kaizi" a marriage witness, and "Lao Teng" looked at Brother Kaizi's wife, and sighed that Chinese films have been inherited, and they are all like-minded!

The fifth-generation directors are Kai Zige, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, and Tian Zhuangzhuang...... These directors always want to criticize, explore, and react to cultural and social phenomena.

Zhang Yimou is one of the leaders, since 1987, he directed "Red Sorghum" and won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

"My Father and Mother" is Zhang Yimou's last work before his commercial transformation, and the movie has a lot of achievements, Lao Zhang won the Berlin, Golden Rooster, and Hundred Flowers Awards, and actress Zhang Ziyi won the Hundred Flowers Film Queen as a newcomer to the film, and has been rampant in the film industry since then......

"Comrade Xiao Xu, have you seen all the movie materials, are you interested in playing the role of the young "Luo Changyu"? Zhang Yimou's vicissitudes of life, the northwest desert face full of ravines grinned.

"My Father and Mother" was inspired by a novella in "Chinese Writers", and at the first sight, Zhang Yimou was convinced that "this is the story he wants!" ”

The script has not yet been perfected, Zhang Yimou promoted the "film casting" work, and when he saw Xu Chen for the first time, Zhang Yimou was convinced: "This young man is the actor he wants!" ”

In the script, "Luo Changyu" graduated from a normal college and voluntarily gave up his privileged life in the city to take root in the countryside with difficult conditions and become an ordinary rural teacher.

Xu Chen played the progressive youth when filming the MV of the Republic of China, and his "sense of faith" and "hot-blooded youth" are very close to the role.

Luo Changyu was born in the city, has elegant conversation, humor, loves music, and is especially good at flute, Xu Chen perfectly meets the requirements of the role!

The only flaw is that Xu Chen is not a graduate of acting, but this concern, Zhang Yimou dispelled Xu Chen's "Unparalleled in the World" MV performance clip.

Xu Chen's performance is very spiritual, and Zhang Yimou firmly believes that he can train Xu Chen well!

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm not very interested." Take a picture of wool, "my father and mother" are also known as "my simple, kind, innocent and lovely rural mother", and my father is a dispensable tool man.

The only thing that interests Xu Chen in the whole movie is his "son" Sun Honglei, that's right, this movie "King Yan" Sun Honglei plays Luo Changyu's son.

Moreover, the heroine of the movie, Zhang Ziyi, the dignified "Chinese pop king" in the mainland, became her foil, setting off her to the top, Xu Chen was not very interested.

Besides, the movie has little clear soup and water, and Zhang Ziyi is not beautiful, Gong Li can still think about it, Gong Huang is plump and colorful.

Zhang Yimou raised his head, his face was a little confused, the circle was eager for his movies, and no one dared to reject him so cleanly.

Mainland newspapers said that Xu Chen was unruly and arrogant, and Zhang Yimou had seen it!

"Director Zhang, the original book of this movie commemorates that I have read it, and a few clips write the life of a rural teacher, adapted by Director Zhang, the main line of the movie is the love between a rural teacher and the girl Zhao Di, this rural teacher's role is too light, too peaceful, and completely a tool man."

Xu Chen is outspoken, he is a singer, he does not serve the actor's job, and if Zhang is arrogant, Xu Chen can deal with it indifferently.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, your views are very referential, but how can you be sure that the main line of this movie is the love between two young people who break through the world and class?" Zhang Yimou's eyes showed strong interest.

The script he gave Xu Chen was just a draft outline, and this draft outline had already been overturned, and the third version of the script was just a superficial idea.

Xu Chen is so convinced that the main plot is "love", and according to his meaning, he even designed the scenes and character close-ups of "Country Teacher"?

"......" Xu Chen is numb, specially, these old bastards are really not easy to fool, he can't say: "That's right, Lao Zhang, I watched the movie, it's very ordinary." ”

"Director Zhang, don't hide it, my main business is singing, and my side job is photographer and screenwriter......" Xu Chen simply didn't hide it, and told Zhang Yimou about the movie "My Father and Mother" concisely.

The movie lasted for an hour and a half, and Xu Chen's mouth was dry.

The more Zhang Yimou listened, the more serious his face became, "My Father and Mother" is currently just a rough outline, and what the movie wants to express and talk about is just a vague idea.

Xu Chen gave a concrete synopsis of the story, which was shameless and criticized the advantages and disadvantages of the movie.

Zhang Yimou couldn't maintain a steady face, his face was shocked, Xu Chen said that his side job was a photographer and screenwriter, and Lao Zhang was only Xu Chen's hobby, but he didn't expect that he really had two brushes.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm a person who has high standards for myself." Don't look for me for a low-standard script, Xu Chen doesn't want to delay time.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, you like photography, I used to be a photographer." Zhang Yimou's face was soft, Xu Chen was really a talent, capable of writing and martial arts.

Wen Neng can score movies, Wu Neng writes scripts, trains and acts.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, are you interested in being in charge of the screenwriting and dubbing work of "My Father and Mother", Comrade Xiao Xu doesn't want to be a tool man, Comrade Xiao Xu wrote the script himself, there is no problem. Zhang Yimou is rare and humorous, grinning with a teacup, and training Xu Chen to catch it!

"......" Xu Chen pushed a job, Lao Zhang threw him a few jobs, and thought about it: "Director Zhang, I am a very worldly person, I am afraid of delaying my artistic creation." ”

"Comrade Xiao Xu, the screenwriter and soundtrack, and the actors' salaries are all separated, and if you do a good job, you can also have dividends from the film project." Zhang Yimou grinned: "Comrade Xiao Xu must have confidence in art. ”

"It's done!" The money is enough, Xu Chen has nothing to worry about, the idea is in the brain, he can't get the wool or not, the idea will be realized in the end.

Zhang Yimou's current film work is filming "No One is Missing", and "My Father and Mother" is just preliminary preparations.

He signed a contract with Zhang Weiping's "New Picture Film Company", and this "My Father and Mother" is the "New Picture" and is responsible for coordinating the preliminary work of the film.

Zhang Yimou is very simple, with the shrewdness and philistine of an old farmer in the northwest, driving Xu Chen to work for him, and is responsible for cooperating with the casting director "casting work".

I'm going to say that it's to interview the heroine and supporting roles!

Poor Zhang Ziyi, at this time, she was still looking forward to the movie interview, and she was fighting in her heart, isn't it Xu Chen's MV, I don't have a good chance to take pictures!

And it's Zhang Yimou's movie!

It's not clear at all, her life can't get rid of the shadow of "Xu Chen"!

…………

The clock ticked to October 28.

In Xu Chen's work plan in 1997, only the movie "Love Malatang" and the Spring Festival Gala interview remained.

The sales of the album "Unparalleled in the World" pushed the mainland, and the mainland singers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, MMP, Xu Chen, the animal, did not give anyone else a way to live.

The album "No. 43 Baojia Street" under "Jingwen Culture" has been postponed, and Liang Yongmei saw that both horizontal and vertical were dead, and died early and was born early, so she gritted her teeth and chose to launch Wang Feng's new album.

"Baojia Street 43" album songs "Little Bird" and "Good Night, Beiping" are all mainland rock pop hits, the reporter interviewed Xu Chen's views, Xu Chen gave a high evaluation: "Xiao Wang is a very aura singer, I believe that his concert has brought new rock power to the Chinese music scene, Little Bird and Good Night, Beiping I often listen to these days." ”

Xu Chen is the first "Chinese pop king" in the mainland, and his affirmation is very authoritative, and Wang Feng and the "No. 43 Baojia Street" album became an instant hit.

Liang Yongmei of Jingwen Culture took Wang Feng to visit Xu Chen, but unfortunately Xu Chen didn't have time to deal with them!

Xiangjiang and Baodao music circles, the war is scorching, Xu Chen in the Xiangjiang music scene won the first place in the double list of "Xiangjiang Second Radio" and "Xincheng Radio" "next year today" 7 days, Jacky Cheung once again won the first place.

Not only the first, but Guo Fucheng and Liu Defa's albums have made efforts to encircle and suppress Xu Chen, Xu Chen fought away and could only maintain the second position on the charts.

"Second hand" and "evening breeze blowing in the heart" can't be taken into account, "second hand" can still keep the top five, and "evening breeze blowing in the heart" is completely off the list.

The treasure island music scene benefited from Xu Chen, Zhang Huimei, and Ren Xianqi's bundled publicity, and "Rolling Stone" launched Ren Xianqi's album in advance.

18 hours after the release of the album's title song "Very Hurt", it quickly reached the top 10 of "Voice of Asia" and "Island Radio".

Baodao News has been published: "The twin stars of the Chinese music scene, Ren Xianqi and Xu Chen, who will become the queen of the Four Heavenly Queens, the ruler of the Chinese music world!" ”

This news treasure island has a lot of sensation in the three places on both sides of the strait, Ren Xianqi "is too soft" at the beginning of the year "too soft" became popular, ten years of snow hidden no one asked, a professional became famous all over the world!

The second album was launched simultaneously in Southeast Asia with strong sales!

Xu Chen's album "Legend" debuted in mid-June, and the mainland was named the "Little King of the Mainland", and in October, the album "Unparalleled in the World" landed in Hong Kong and Treasure Island. ”

Both of them are the most dazzling meteors in the Chinese music scene in 1997, a mainland, a treasure island, under their light, the former ruler of the Chinese music scene Hong Kong came to an abrupt end and lost the qualification to compete!

In general, Xu Chen's journey to the emperor of the "Chinese pop music scene" has no shortage of opponents and challenges!

Let alone.

In the original time and space, Ren Xianqi took over the baton of the "Four Heavenly Kings", and it was only 2 years after he ascended to the emperor of the "Chinese pop music scene", and the four little heavenly kings of "Tao Zhou Wang Lin" kicked over his altar, and since then they have led the way for several years, and finally Jay Chou ended the competition for hegemony in the music world and ruled the Chinese music scene until the end.

Ren Xianqi is probably the most miserable of the previous "Heavenly Kings", purely Zhu Bajie tasted the ginseng fruit, and it was gone before he tasted it.

Xu Chen not only wants to taste the ginseng fruit, but also occupies the ginseng fruit tree, and from then on he will be the king of the north, and you will worship ~

…………

"Love Malatang" is filmed in Beiping, and the movie is a "string" movie, consisting of 5 story fragments.

The 5 stories describe the 5 stages of the relationship, and different stages have different understandings of love.

Xu Chen read the script, he understands this, isn't it the process from "Mountain Alliance and Sea Oath" to "Foot Washing and Massage" to "Seeing and Hating Each Other" to "Twilight Love".

The clip he plays is called "Photo", which is in the transition stage from "Mountain Alliance and Sea Oath" to "Foot Washing and Massage": "Cannon Appointment! ”

"Mountain League and Sea Oath" is too tired, "Foot Washing and Massage" is too decadent, men and women who are unwilling to be lonely are always looking forward to romantic encounters, and the love of landslides and cracks dies in the morning when the sun shines on the wall.

The photographer "Xia Xiaowan" played by Xu Chen is such a person.

When he was taking wedding photos for a newlywed couple on the street, "Lin Yuqing" played by Xu Jinglei accidentally broke into his lens.

"Lin Yuqing" has shoulder-length short hair, a graceful posture, a white and tender face like jade, a pair of "blurry and dreamy" beautiful eyes, a clever nose tip, and plump and round lips......

Xia Yiwan could see at a glance that this woman was very lonely, and when two lonely souls in the city met, just a glance at each other, there was a surging love.

He and she rained on the overpass all afternoon, sweated all night in the humble rental house, and when the sun came out, Lin Yuqing disappeared!

Xia Xiaowan said: "It may be that I had a little fever in the rain yesterday, and I am a little out of state, which is not usually like this." ”

Lin Yuqing: "...... Good bye. ”

Lin Yuqing can disappear, at least when he proves himself before disappearing, it's embarrassing for me to disappear like this, I'm okay!

Xia Xiaowan was frantically looking for Lin Yuqing in the city, and the two met by chance on the street on a rainy day, just a one-on-one eye meeting, which was both high and low, and life and death!

Two lonely souls were scorching, time faded passion, Lin Yuqing was buying breakfast in the early morning, suddenly in the city hive-like lattice building, unable to find a place to place the soul.

The movie form of "Love Malatang" is very novel, the movie won 20 million box office when it was released, and the top three box office of the year, the first "Titanic", the second small steel cannon "Party A and Party B"!

Zhang Yang is a very special person in the sixth generation of Chinese directors, other directors either chase fame and fortune, or close themselves, Zhang Yang stands in the middle, he chases fame and fortune, and does not close himself.

His films are unattended! It is said that no one cares too much, and the domestic audience pays little attention.

In fact, Zhang Yang is a leader in the sixth generation of film directors, and his films "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" and "Kailash" are very chewy.

This very maverick director, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, is bitter, I Nima, Xu Chen, you are finally here!

The filming of other stories in "Love Malatang" has already ended, and even Gao Yuanyuan, a hard bone, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and gnawed it down.

He really wanted to gnaw on Xu Chen's hard bone, but unfortunately Xu Chen didn't give him a chance.

"Brother Chen, this is tomorrow's shooting plan, can you see if there are any problems?" Xu Chen's first time acting, Zhang Yang was very unconfident.

This movie is his debut film, how much effort he has put in, and how much he has suffered, only he knows best, if it is because of Xu Chen that the movie has been lowered.

Publicize him......

Zhang Yang admitted it, the first movie of the mainland pop king, the name Xu Chen is worth 5 million box office! 5 million to buy a movie clip, back to the basics~

"Director Zhang, this ......" Xu Chen's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, Zhang Yang was not very serious, who Nima joined the group The first shot is ......

Kiss scene?

"Director Zhang, how to act in the kiss scene, I have no experience." Xu Chen really has no experience, he has not kissed anyone on the big screen, and after looking back, he said innocently: "Director Zhang, this is my first kiss on the screen, is there a little red envelope."

Xu Chen felt that he couldn't afford to suffer!

"......" stinky and shameless, do you want to give you two slaps, Zhang Yang pinched the script and fanned Xu Chen: "Brother Chen, the most important thing in acting is to relieve nature, let's shoot the most difficult kiss scene first, and it will be a matter of course with the actress, and the rest of the scenes will be simple." ”

Xu Chen has never filmed at all, Zhang Yang did not have expectations, and hurriedly finished filming, not expecting Xu Chen to contribute to the "actor" performance.

"This ......" Xu Chen was very entangled: "Director Zhang, the actress is Xu Jinglei, as long as she is okay, I can do it, I am a soldier under Director Zhang, and I will kiss whoever Director Zhang asks me to kiss." ”

Zhang Yang doesn't want to deal with Xu Chen, a brazen man!

"Comrade Xiao Xu!" There was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, and as the door opened, Gao Yuanyuan stepped on the sunlight and walked in, her eyes were surprised, her hands were behind her back, and she said happily: "It doesn't matter if you don't have experience in kissing scenes, I can help you try the play, and if you kiss more, you will have experience!" ”

“…… Brother Chen, Yuanyuan, let's talk. Gao Yuanyuan looks forward to the stars, looks forward to the moon and looks forward to Xu Chen, Zhang Yang is envious, jealous and hateful, Brother Chen's life is too juicy.

"Comrade Xiao Gao, you have gained weight." Xu Chen counted with his fingers, it has been 25 days since the last meeting, the food of the crew is good, the cabbage on the ground is white and tender, and the collagen face has two sweet and lovely dimples.

"Hmph, I'm obviously dead." Gao Yuanyuan poked her little belly in annoyance, her eyes were staring at Xu Chen, and she controlled the idea of rushing into Xu Chen's arms.

She is not the naïve little girl she used to be, now that she is mature, at least Comrade Xu has to say that she misses her, and then kiss Comrade Xu fiercely!
