Miss Cinema Understanding (topcinema original, reproduction is strictly prohibited)

"Manjiang Hong" was released in 5 days, and the box office has exceeded 2.1 billion, becoming the highest-grossing film directed by Zhang Yimou.

Several main performers, all kinds of performances are unforgettable, and the characters they play are all distinct, and it is difficult to compare the high and low.

Even Yue Yunpeng, who is a non-professional actor, the role Wu Yichun in the film is particularly suitable for him, and the slightly playful performance is simply not too suitable.

I have to say that director Zhang Yimou is really good at choosing actors.

Even the supporting roles with few roles have their own brilliance, and being able to star in Zhang Yimou's movies is the dream of many actors, no matter what type and what kind of actor, they are proud of it.

Many people even recommended themselves, including Yue Yunpeng and Pan Binlong (as Ding Sanwang), who had recommended themselves to Zhang Yimou when watching other movies directed by Zhang Yimou before, but they didn't expect to really realize their dreams.

When promoting the movie "Manjiang Hong" before, comedian Wei Xiang also said that he had fulfilled his dream, and he was too happy to be able to play a small cameo role in the movie directed by Zhang Yimou.

This time, the role he played in the film, Harden, is a very small supporting role, is the translator of the golden man, just a scene, and soon after his appearance, he was killed by Zhang Da, played by Shen Teng. But as long as he can act in the play directed by Zhang Yimou, he is already satisfied.

Wang Biao, played by Guo Jingfei, is a character who died unjustly.

Guo Jingfei's cameo, although there are not many scenes, but with Shen Teng, Yi Yangqianxi, Zhang Yi have fierce rivalry scenes, full of conflict, impressive.

This role also has a lot to remember, a good actor can always leave an aftertaste in a limited space.

Zheng Wan, played by Ou Hao, appeared relatively late, because of the shape of the costume and beard, it is not easy to recognize him at once, although there is not much space for performance, but who does not want to appear in the movie directed by Zhang Yimou?

Lei Jiayin, who played Qin Hui this time, is the villain in the film, and "one person plays two roles", performing the multi-faceted nature of the characters, and his acting skills are explosive, which has been recognized by many audiences.

In fact, Lei Jiayin is also the first time to play the protagonist of a movie directed by Zhang Yimou, and in Director Zhang's last movie "Above the Cliff", he was only a small supporting role, playing the traitor Xie Zirong (below), and was finally killed by Zhou Yi played by Yu Hewei.

It seems that Lei Jiayin in the last play was highly recognized by director Zhang Yimou, and this time he did not live up to the director's expectations and acted perfectly.

In fact, in "Manjiang Hong", like Lei Jiayin, there are many "acquaintances" of director Zhang Yimou, all of whom are actors he has repeatedly used, it seems that director Zhang Yimou still has "selfishness" in using actors.

Zhang Yi, needless to say, from "One Second" to "Above the Cliff", to "Sniper", and then to "Man Jiang Hong", he has performed four consecutive films, which is enough to reflect director Zhang Yimou's trust and love for his performance.

Previously, Zhang Yi also won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Double Movie King with "Above the Cliff" (below).

Yu Ailei is also a lot, starred in three movies directed by Zhang Yimou in a row, the first two "One Second" and "Above the Cliff" are villains, in "Man Jiang Hong" he played Liu Xi, and finally became a good person once.

Among the few supporting roles in "Man Jiang Hong", there are also love generals directed by Zhang Yimou, Mou Girl and Mou Boy, all of them.

Next to Yaoqin, played by the heroine Wang Jiayi, there are two other dancers, Liu Yan and Qingmei, played by Lin Boyang and Feifan.

Lin Boyang previously starred in "Sniper" directed by Zhang Yimou as a female reporter (Figure 1 below), and Fei Fan starred in "Above the Cliff" and played a female spy in the film (Figure 2 below).

There is also Huang Yan who plays Hu Yong, and Chen Yongsheng, who appears as a herald soldier at the end of the film, both actors in "Sniper", Huang Yan plays Mi Lao Er (Figure 1 below), and Chen Yongsheng is still the male protagonist Dayong in "Sniper" (Figure 2 below).

This time, they didn't have many scenes in "Manjiang Hong", but the director still gave enough shots to let them perform a sense of existence.

However, there is one of the most special supporting roles, I don't know if everyone noticed, the clerk who appeared in the end of the trial scene, Chen Xi.

His actor is called Zhang Yinan.

Yes, he is the eldest son born to director Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting, born in May 2001, currently 21 years old.

As early as 2017, Zhang Yinan interned with the crew of Zhang Yimou's costume movie "Shadow", at that time, Chen Ting posted a photo of Zhang Yimou and his eldest son Zhang Yinan hugging on the Internet, writing:

"Father's gift to his son - a male crew internship documentary." One waited for his father outside the tent, and the other cut his son until late at night. The love between father and son is not a 'I love you', but a red eye after a hug. ”

The star-studded actors of "Shadow" include Deng Chao, Sun Li, Hu Jun, Wang Qianyuan, Zheng Kai, Guan Xiaotong, Wu Lei and so on. According to the photos released by Chen Ting, it can be seen that Zhang Yinan, who was 16 years old at the time, was interning in the crew of "Shadow", holding a camera, presumably following the shooting to record some tidbits behind the scene.

Although it was his son who came to the crew for an internship, Zhang Yimou did not give special care. Chen Ting later revealed: My son used the summer vacation to intern in the crew, eat and live with everyone, and although he was too busy to see his father, he was still very happy.

That time, Zhang Yinan also received "the first salary in his life".

Influenced by his father and with the crew's internship experience, in February 2019, Zhang Yinan, then 17 years old, acted as a director for the first time and directed the micro-movie "Over There", which premiered at school.

At that time, Chen Ting excitedly revealed that "Over There" won three awards at the Shanghai Student Film Festival for Best Film, Best Director and Best Music, and said that Zhang Yimou sighed: "I won the first award when I was 38 years old, and my son won the award when he was less than eighteen, what an opportunity given by the times!" ”

On May 26 of the same year, Zhang Yinan graduated, Zhang Yimou's family attended Zhang Yinan's graduation ceremony, and Zhang Yimou also gave a speech on stage.

In September of the same year, Chen Ting posted a picture of Zhang Yinan carrying a bag and about to travel away, and also posted a group photo of a family of five, writing: "The release is for a better return." It turned out that they sent their eldest son Zhang Yinan to study abroad and asked him to continue to study film abroad.

Previously, Zhang Yimou's eldest daughter Zhang Mo was sent out of the film to study abroad, and later she returned to China to participate in the filming of Zhang Yimou's movie "Hawthorn Tree Love", and then directed the movie "28-year-old minor" by herself, and later co-directed the movie "Sniper" with her father.

At that time, Zhang Yinan also appeared on the set of "Sniper" and studied with his father and sister.

Chen Ting posted pictures of Zhang Yimou and her eldest son Zhang Yinan communicating on the set at that time, and she jokingly wrote: Guess which one has in hand? None of them.

In the photo, the father and son are dressed very similarly: black down jacket, cap, white mask... The son is already half a head taller than the father.

The movie "Sniper" is of great significance, not only Zhang Yimou and his daughter co-directed the movie, but also brought his eldest son Zhang Yinan to join the participation and complete a "Zhang Jiajun work".

Unexpectedly, this time, Zhang Yinan starred in "Manjiang Hong" directed by his father Zhang Yimou as an actor for the first time, achieving another leap in identity.

I don't know if everyone has an impression of the role he played?

The eldest son of the Zhang family, will he continue to be a director in the future, or will he change to an actor?
