The nominations for the 34th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards have been freshly released!
Everyone found that the biggest winners were not Yi Qianxi and Liu Haocun, nor Yu Hewei and Zhang Yi, nor Liu Ye and Guo Xiaodong!
It is Zhang Yimou, 71 years old.
Yes, Zhang Yimou won 7 nominations for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi), Best Cinematography, Best Recording, and Best Art for "On the Cliff"!
Plus Fan Wei won the best supporting actor nomination for "One Second"!
Awards related to Zhang Yimou are as high as 8!
This is after 17 years, Zhang Yimou has once again been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award.
For Zhang Yimou, who has won dozens of domestic and foreign awards, the Golden Rooster Award nominations have long been without that kind of fanatical excitement and joy!
These nominations are more of an incentive for him, or a recognition of his work!
Nominations and awards are no longer important to him, the most critical thing is his several practices, which are the most critical!
Zhang Yimou's work efficiency is so high that he is famous in the circle!
Look at this ancient and rare old man, it is not "ancient" at all, and the work is not "rare" at all!
After cooperating with Sun Li and Deng Chao in the movie "Shadow", then in November 2020, he took out "One Second" starring Zhang Yi, Fan Wei and Liu Haocun, which received super high praise; in May 2021, he took out "On the Cliff" and became the box office champion of may 1st; at present, he still has "Sniper" co-directed by himself and his daughter Zhang Mo, which was released during the Spring Festival; and "Rock Solid" starring Lei Jiayin and Zhou Dongyu!
This is the result of 71-year-old Zhang Yimou!
Zhang Yimou said in an interview: If there is a good script, he can shoot more works, and the body is not a problem!
In the eyes of Zhang Yi, Yu Hewei, Fan Wei and other stars, Zhang Yimou is a workaholic!
Zhang Yi commented on Zhang Yimou after filming "One Second":
My film dream was because in 1988, when I was 10 years old, I watched Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" and fell in love with movies. Working with him 30 years later, when shooting movies, he was a workaholic, sleeping only 3 hours a day, working late every day, running 5 kilometers, and often eating 1 meal a day in order to make a good movie! An almost 70-year-old man, so fight, we young people, there is no reason not to work hard!
71-year-old Zhang Yimou's dietary preference is garlic oil noodles, as a Shaanxi person, noodles have a fatal temptation, 40-year-old wife Chen Ting for her husband, she learned to hand roll noodles, learn to make a variety of pasta!
And Zhang Yimou transforms the energy brought by the oil pouring noodles into art and presents it to the audience!
Work fanaticism, high degree of self-discipline, this is the greatest wealth presented to us by Zhang Yimou!
Over the years, how many variety shows have you watched, and where have you seen Zhang Yimou's figure?
Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Li Chengru, Tang Jili, and Zhang Ziyi, who has very little acting, have all appeared frequently in variety shows!
One situation is that these directors and actors do not have good scenes to shoot; and there is also the need to maintain exposure so as not to be forgotten by the audience!
But what about Zhang Yimou?
Does he have no kung fu, or does he disdain variety shows?
On the one hand, there is really no kung fu: the officially commissioned directorial work on the opening ceremonies of various galas, and many film scripts brought by investors;
There is also vigilance about variety shows, hip-hop on variety shows, or show that their opinions are different, which is not what Zhang Yimou likes and is good at!
He is still learning, and in 2017, he earned his Ph.D. from Boston University through his studies!
Humble and attentive, it is the style he has always maintained!
Qin Hao said that his early film dreams and Zhang Yimou have a relationship, once filmed "Jinling Thirteen Chao", hundreds of actors, Zhang Yimou can actually call out his name, he is very moved, after filming, Zhang Yimou specially came to give him a small gift and take a photo with him! A director is not only talented, his charisma is also important!
Zhang Yimou always shows a kind of gentleness and humility in any interview, but he will also be angry!
During the filming of "One Second", Zhang Yimou was rarely angry and reprimanded the staff.
It turned out that someone threw a mineral water bottle in the Dunhuang Desert where "One Second" was filmed, the actor Zhang Yi was bending down to pick up the water bottle, Zhang Yimou was very distressed about zhang Yi, who worked hard to shoot the scene, he repeatedly stressed that do not destroy the local environment, and reprimanded the set staff for being irresponsible!
This is in stark contrast to the current "Housewife" starring Jiang Qinqin because of a cat thing, deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion!
Zhang Yimou has been scolded by people over the years, but he is more respected by people.
Zhang Yimou said that when filming "On the Cliff", Yu Hewei, Qin Hailu, Zhu Yawen, Zhang Yi, Ni Dahong, Yu Haolei, they all came at a call, and many actors were discounted on the performance price, or did not want money, which made me very moved!
Taking part in Zhang Yimou's films as an honor may be the dream of many actors!
This is Zhang Yimou!
The glory and honor of "On the Cliff" is already in the past for Zhang Yimou, who focused his work on the release and promotion of "Sniper" filmed with his daughter Zhang Mo, and is currently preparing for the adaptation of Shaanxi writer Chen Yan's work "Protagonist" that won the Mao Dun Literature Award. It is rumored that Liu Haocun will become the protagonist of the movie.
Chen Yan is the original author of the novel of the TV series "Loading Stage", and his "Protagonist" has been purchased by Zhang Yimou and Zhang Jiayi for the film and television drama adaptation copyright.
Zhang Yimou has won a number of nominations for the Golden Rooster Award, for him who has won countless awards, it is just the icing on the cake, perhaps, at the moment, it will always be the most important thing for him!
But the fragrance of his positivity, diligence and self-discipline and charisma is very inspiring and inspiring to us!
What do you think of Zhang Yimou's multiple nominations for the Golden Rooster Award?
