Zhang Yimou, a big director, must be familiar to everyone.
He is the national teacher in people's minds, and the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games have left a deep impression on the international community under his guidance.
Although Zhang Yimou came from a poor family, he has an excellent film talent that is difficult for others to match.
The hardships of life did not make him give up his dream of directing, and he contributed many classic films to everyone with his enthusiasm and love for the film industry.
Zhang Yimou not only has his own unique insights in the filming of the film, but also has a unique vision in the selection of actors.
He can make the actor and the role blend together perfectly, so that everyone can believe that the actor is as if the character himself is.
For actors, being able to meet and appreciate their own Bole, through Zhang Dao's "turning stones into gold", can also pave the way for the future star path.
The actress who came out of Zhang Dao's film was named "Girl Girl" by everyone.
After years of development and hard work, the situation of these people is very different.
Some of them have unlimited scenery, some are obscure, and some even have a bad reputation. Next, let's take a look at the current situation of these "girl girls".
1. Gong Li
Gong Li is the first generation of female partners.
In the late 1980s, Zhang Yimou spent 1,000 yuan to buy the copyright to the red sorghum from the novelist Mo Yan. Zhang Yimou, who was 37 years old at the time, transformed from actor to director, determined to make it into a movie, and let Mo Yan serve as the screenwriter of the film.
Because it is his first film, Zhang Yimou attaches great importance to it, and in the choice of the heroine actor, Zhang Yimou made a mistake.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou came to the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing to select actors for the heroine of the film, Jiu'er.
Gong Li's teacher knew about it and strongly recommended Gong Li to Zhang Yimou.
After Zhang Yimou watched Gong Li's performance, he felt that Gong Li had the pungent energy of Jiu'er, so he ignored the opposition of everyone and gave the role of the heroine Jiu'er to Gong Li, who had never picked a beam at that time.
After the movie "Red Sorghum" was broadcast, the response was enthusiastic, and Gong Li became popular because of this, becoming the first girl.
It can be said that Zhang Yimou and Gong Li have achieved each other.
For this film, Gong Li won the Golden Bear Award at the 38th Berlin Film Festival.
It also laid the foundation for Zhang Yimou's unshakable position in the directing industry.
The two worked together in their careers, and then collaborated on a number of classic films.
Today's Gong Li has long entered the international market, her career is smooth, she is a good-looking and powerful actress, and is domineeringly called "Gong Huang" by everyone.
The entertainment industry has never lacked a queen, but there is only one "Gong Huang".
At the scene of the red carpet of the 2016 Cannes film, the domineering Gong Li was not afraid of the camera, and no one dared to walk on the red carpet alone with her chest
Battle.
This is the greatest affirmation of an actor.
In an interview, she once said: "I did not give up any shots, not even half a second. ”
"I must take control of my own destiny"
From an ordinary northeastern girl to today's "Gong Huang", can have today's status, which is inseparable from Gong Li's hard work, and it is necessary to rely on their own efforts to get it.
The successful "Gong Huang" is now married, and her husband is the French musician Jean Michel Jarre, and her life is sweet and happy.
2. Zhang Ziyi
Before Zhang Ziyi starred in Zhang Yimou's film, she was just an obscure sophomore student in Chinese opera.
Because her classmates are all big beauties such as Yuan Quan and Hu Jing, Zhang Ziyi has always been a small transparent existence.
In an audition for the heroine of an advertisement, Zhang Yimou accidentally met Zhang Ziyi, who was late for the audition.
Zhang Yimou looked at the little girl in front of him and thought, "Isn't this the girl I'm looking for?"
So he left Zhang Ziyi's phone and asked her to wait for her own notice.
After a while, the confused Zhang Ziyi was selected by Zhang Yimou to star in the movie "My Father and Mother".
In order to be able to perform the temperament of a rural girl, Zhang Yimou deliberately let her live in the countryside for several months.
It was winter, and the conditions in the village were harsh and the weather was cold.
For the sake of the role, Zhang Ziyi never shouted bitterness, wearing a large flower cotton jacket and squatting in the ground.
Soon after the release of the movie, Zhang Ziyi won the Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Award for her wonderful interpretation in this movie, and began to have her own reputation in the Chinese film circle.
But Zhang Ziyi's professionalism does not stop there, and since then, Zhang Ziyi has successively cooperated with Zhang Yimou in excellent film works such as "Hero" and "Ten Faces Ambush".
This made Zhang Ziyi have a good reputation in the international arena at that time, and also gave her a title of "International Chapter".
3. Zhou Dongyu
Compared with the first two "Girl Seekers", Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yimou have not cooperated much, but she has left a deep impression on everyone.
Zhou Dongyu was born in 1992, and her parents did not expect their children to be rich and prosperous in the future, and to grow up healthy and happy.
When I was in elementary school, I was catching up with the sports school coach to select seedlings, and Zhou Dongyu was looked at by the teacher, and her parents sent Zhou Dongyu to the sports school to learn gymnastics.
In fact, at that time, Zhang Yimou was worried about the choice of the lead actress of his film "Hawthorn Tree Love".
Zhou Dongyu held the mentality of trying it out and signed up for the selection of heroines.
After reading everyone's information, director Zhang Yimou was attracted by the simple and clean temperament of Zhou Dongyu, which gave Zhang Yimou a bright feeling, so he decided to give Zhou Dongyu a chance.
After revealing that the heroine of the film was Zhou Dongyu, she was questioned by many people.
But Zhou Dongyu did not disappoint everyone, although she was not from a science class, but with the help of the director and her own efforts, she handed over a satisfactory answer sheet.
It is precisely because of his participation in this film, coupled with the recommendation of director Zhang Yimou.
Zhou Dongyu was successfully admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and started her acting career.
After the release of "Hawthorn Tree Love", Zhou Dongyu became popular with the role of Jing Qiu, and began to continue to exert strength in the film circle, and the star path was open.
Later, "You at the Same Table" and "July and Ansheng" have also become her masterpieces.
Now the young Zhou Dongyu is already the queen of the Golden Horse, the Golden Statue, and the Golden Rooster.
It can really be regarded as a young man.
4. Dong Jie
As the saying goes, "The master leads the door, and the practice looks at the individual."
Dong Jie, from the former ice and jade clean, to today's reputation is notorious, really a good card to play thin.
Compared with the previous ones, Dong Jie's starting point can be said to be the highest.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 2000, Dong Jie and Nicholas Tse collaborated on a song "Together in This Life".
Dong Jie on the stage fell generously and stunned everyone.
It is precisely because of this Spring Festival Gala appearance that Dong Jie was selected by Zhang Yimou to star in the movie "Happy Time" and became a new generation of Mou girls.
Dong Jie, who is a dancer, has an elegant temperament and good looks, so it is easy to gain everyone's favor.
Dong Jie successfully entered the show business circle with the role of Wu Ying in the movie, and officially became famous.
And Dong Jie is really well known to everyone, is that she starred in the TV series "Golden Powder Family" in Leng Qingqiu.
This elegant, calm, and beautiful character seems to have been written for Dong Jie.
Because of this role, she has also become the white moonlight in the audience's heart.
After that, Dong Jie and Pan Yueming entered the marriage hall, and everyone was very optimistic about the love of the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl".
But I didn't expect a farce that completely pulled the "white moonlight" in the hearts of this nation off the altar.
Dong Jie cheated on Wang Dazhi in marriage, and even "framed" her ex-husband Pan Yueming, making Pan Yueming the target of everyone.
Just when Pan Yueming's career fell to the bottom, things took a turn for the better.
What Dong Jie did was exposed, completely shattering her white moonlight image in the eyes of the audience and burying her acting career.
However, all this was also caused by her own hands, and Dong Jie used her actions to destroy her career with her own hands.
Nowadays, Dong Jie is no longer a pure jade woman in the hearts of the public, and her former beautiful face will gradually grow old.
Since then, Dong Jie has rarely appeared in the public eye again.
Five, Li Man
Among the many women, some are liked, and some are criticized.
And there is such an actress, debuted for many years, but has been tepid, she is Li Man.
Mention this name, perhaps many people have not heard of it, but people are indeed a "girl" like a fake bag.
In the "Golden Armor in the City" of that year, Li Man, who was only 18 years old, starred in the female number two in the movie, and has since entered the audience's vision.
Because of this film, Li Man was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award.
Born in Anshan, Liaoning Province, Li Man began to learn dance at the age of six, and she hopes to become a dancer like Yang Liping when she grows up.
However, fate played a big joke with her, due to a serious fall in her foot, Li Man had no choice but to give up his favorite dance to learn acting.
In this way, 17-year-old Li Man was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and began to study acting.
In 2006, Zhang Yimou cast the film "Full of Golden Armor", and under the persuasion of his teacher, Li Man went to audition, and this test was tried.
Although Li Man won the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival with this film, Li Man did not become popular because of this movie.
Instead, it disappeared after this movie, and there are very few films that look for her to play the heroine.
Li Man can only play some not very important supporting roles in film and television dramas, so her name is gradually forgotten by everyone.
Today's Li Man does not ask himself to be popular, and plain and simple is also a kind of happiness.
And met their own true love, the two have a stable relationship, I hope she can be happy.
It can be seen that the title of "Girl" cannot become an umbrella for the career to go all the way.
It is more like a stepping stone, the so-called "master leads into the door, cultivation looks at the individual", the opportunity is spelled out by oneself.
The above are the five most representative "girl scouts", some with unlimited scenery and some with obscurity.
And what new "girl scouts" will there be in the future? What about them? Let's wait and see.
