Many years ago, director Zhang Yimou was interviewed by Phoenix TV, and he said a story about himself and his father, he said:
Every time I called home, my dad wanted to know about me, how the movie was going, how it was going to be abroad, but he never asked. Answering the phone was me, he immediately asked my mom to come (laughs), and then my mom asked this and that, I talked to my mom on the phone, and after hanging up, my mom reported to my dad again. This was the case until the '90s, before my dad died.
My dad never talked to me on the phone, a habit he seemed to have developed since childhood.
When I talked to my dad alone, I didn't seem to talk much, I was always a question-and-answer style, and I was in my 40s in the 90s, and I was like that with my dad. ”
We can also see the shadow of his father in director Zhang Yimou.
For example, the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics can be said to be the child who was full of feelings poured into director Zhang Yimou.
In many interviews, Zhang Dao only talked about why this child grew up like this (his creative conception), and rarely talked about how good this child was.
Without a deep-seated love for China and Chinese culture, it is impossible to come up with so much Chinese romance and express such cultural self-confidence, which would have been said to be more circled, and it is impossible to say with Zhang Dao's cultural personality.
The Book of Poetry and No Clothes can also reflect this cultural characteristic of Zhao Zhao Lao Qin.
"You are clothed, but you are clothed with the Son." Wang Yuxing, repair my spear. ”
There are very few words, no patriotic high-profile. Behind the calm is a fiery patriotic heart.
This wonderful relationship between Zhang Yimou and his father is very common in the father-son relationship between Guanzhong people.
In many families in Guanzhong, although men have full affection for their wives and children, they will not put them on their faces and hang on their mouths.
Guanzhong people often say that "the father does not praise the son, and the son does not praise the father", "It is better to give a good heart than to give a good face".
In the body of director Zhang Yimou, the atmosphere of "Zhao Zhao Lao Qin" is strong.
The legacy of "Zhao Zhao Old Qin" is manifested in the personality of the Qin people, that is, it is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, "sensitive to words and deeds".
This is particularly evident in director Zhang Yimou.
This kind of family style is passed down from generation to generation, that is, the old Qin ancient clumsy and elegant, strong and confident legacy of the generations.
