Many good directors have their own royal actors, who understand each other, cooperate with each other, and achieve each other. After years and years of companionship, some of them formed lifelong friends, and some of them parted ways.
Let's take a look at the director and their royal cast!
Feng Xiaogang and Ge You
Feng Xiaogang once said of Ge You: "Ge You is the pillar of Chinese New Year movies. Moreover, we can say that it was Ge You who invited Chinese audiences back to the cinema and liked the movie again. In fact, it can be said that for a long time, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You were the Wang Fang combination of Chinese New Year movies.
The two have cooperated in films such as "Party A and Party B", "Not Seen and Not Scattered", "Endless", "No Thief in the World", "Do Not Disturb", etc., which have brought us great surprises. Some people have commented on the combination of Feng Xiaogang and Ge You: "They are the top performing stocks that will always rise and fall at the mainland box office."
Wong Kar Wai and Leung Chao Wai
In 2005, the Hong Kong Film Awards selected "100 Most Representative Chinese Films", and "The Biography of Ah Fei" ranked third. It is also because of this movie that Wong Kar-wai and Leung Chao-wai became acquainted.
After that, the two began frequent cooperation, such as "Chongqing Forest" in 1994, "East Evil and West Poison", "Spring Break" in 1997, "Fancy Years" in 2000, "2046" in 2004, and "A Generation of Grandmasters" in 2013. Each work is very weighty and carries different cultural significance.
The two are also mentors and friends, and achieve each other.2 Liang Chaowei successfully won four Academy Awards with four films, "Chongqing Forest", "Spring Break", "Fantasia" and "2046", won the Golden Horse Film Emperor with "Chongqing Forest", and won the Cannes Film Emperor with "Fancy Years". Wong Kar-wai won three Academy Awards for Best Director for "The Legend of Ah Fei", "Chongqing Forest" and "A Generation of Grandmasters", and won the Best Director Award in Cannes for "Spring Break".
Some netizens jokingly called the two of them "award-winning double brakes".
Du Qifeng and Liu Qingyun
Du Qifeng did not hesitate to praise Liu Qingyun in many public occasions: "Liu Qingyun is the best actor in Hong Kong. ”
Liu Qingyun said: "My real eldest brother is Du Qifeng, without him there would be no Liu Qingyun today." ”
As a director of Hong Kong gangster films, the main characteristics of his works are "black, fierce and cold". In his films, we can see traces of the philosophy of noir and the aesthetics of violence. Liu Qingyun was undoubtedly in line with it, and he could keenly capture the feeling that Du Qifeng wanted. For example, the viciousness and coldness of the confrontation with Liang Chaowei in the movie "Dark Flower", the grasp of schizophrenia in "Detective", and the heroic bone tenderness of the hero in "True Heart Hero". Du Qifeng and Liu Qingyun were two people, and they hit it off immediately.
Wang Quan'an and Yu Nan
Wang Quan'an and Yu Nan's first acquaintance was "unexpected".
At that time, Wang Quan'an was planning to shoot his first work in his life, and he returned to his alma mater to find the protagonist of the film. At this moment, he took a look at a girl, and this girl was Yu Nan.
In this way, Yu Nan filmed Wang Quan'an's directorial debut "Lunar Eclipse". One is a newcomer director, the other is a newcomer actor, the two feel sorry for each other, appreciate each other, and then they went on to cooperate in "Sting", "Tuya's Marriage" and other works. These works not only witness the growth of the two of them, but also witness their love.
Wang Quan'an and Yu Nan achieved each other's achievements and ushered in the peak of each other's careers. Step by step, Wang Quan'an became a well-known director. Yu Nan has gained a firm foothold with his works and has also won the praise of "the queen of Chinese literary and art films".
Unfortunately, more than ten years of mutual companionship did not allow them to come to the end. It is really regrettable that they finally chose to part ways.
The relationship between the director and the royal actor is actually complementary, they achieve each other, and eventually become famous and become a famous golden combination in the entertainment industry. Do you still know what the golden combinations are in the entertainment industry?
