At the North Film Festival, the modesty and group photos of the stars were on the hot search.
Because of this year's "Crazy", the previously unknown Zhang Songwen was once popular, and with Zhang Songwen's participation, the North Film Festival also gained unprecedented popularity.
At the Beijing Film Festival, a detail made the media pay attention.
Because the Beijing Film Festival is one of the most important film festivals in China, many big directors and well-known investors will participate, and new films that have not yet been released will also come to promote it.
Therefore, for insiders, the North Film Festival is full of two words: "opportunity".
On the 46-year-old Zhang Songwen, this aspect of the Beijing Film Festival is vividly displayed.
When he met the 70-year-old Chen Kaige, Zhang Songwen was not only warmly greeted by Chen Kaige, the two also shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, and when taking a group photo, Chen Kaige even "hugged" Zhang Songwen in his arms, which was extremely cordial.
This picture, a year ago, dared not think about it.
Zhang Songwen also maintained his humble posture, looking at Chen Kaige with one hand in his pocket and a high posture, and then looking at Zhang Songwen with his hands clasped in the lower position of humility, this Beijing Film Festival red carpet also allowed Tomato Jun to see through the mystery of the entertainment industry.
Today, Tomato Jun will take advantage of this red carpet group photo and event to talk to you about the group photo, coffee position, relationship and the "potential rules" behind the entertainment industry.
01, look at "status" on stage, status is better than "coffee position"
Don't look at it is just an ordinary group photo, behind this group photo, there are many ways.
In this Beijing Film Festival, the most powerful is the team of Chen Kaige's new film.
All the team members were present, and the scene was so large that a group photo could hardly fit it.
First of all, standing in the C position, it is worthy of director Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige is one of the most heavyweight directors of the fifth generation of directors in the mainland, competing with Zhang Yimou and playing a pivotal role in the entertainment industry, so the crew took a group photo, and he must stand in the middle.
This basic rule, whether on the red carpet or on stage, is kept secret by everyone, but it must be "strictly observed".
Standing next to Chen Kaige is a company executive, because he is not in the entertainment industry, Tomato Jun does not say anything about him for the time being.
And radiating from the middle C position, the arrangement of other stars also has strict and meticulous rules.
Chen Kaige's left except for the executive, next to his wife Chen Hong, Chen Hong stands second only to C, because she is Chen Kaige's wife?
Of course not, if it is according to kinship, then Chen Kaige's son Chen Feiyu should also stand on the right side closest to the C position, why is he standing on the very side?
What everyone doesn't know is that Chen Hong's position is not determined by kinship, in addition to the role of "family", she is also the producer of this film.
The producer has a very high status, she is the boss of the crew, and she has the right to decide who the crew hires and fires actors.
In addition to business, the power of the producer is much higher than that of the director, so it is natural for Chen Hong to stand next to the C position.
On the right side of the third highest C position in the entire photo, stands Zhang Ziyi, that is, the "International Chapter".
Because among all the actors, Zhang Ziyi is the oldest and most famous, not only in the circle, but also abroad, but also the existence of C position.
This position is left to Zhang Ziyi, which is a matter of course.
In the group photo behind, it can be clearly seen that Zhang Ziyi has been next to Chen Kaige.
And when her position changes in some group photos, Zhang Ziyi will also react immediately, and this expression can explain everything.
The most interesting thing is the position next to Zhang Ziyi, to whom.
According to the official information of the "Volunteers" crew, the first male protagonist of the movie is Xin Baiqing, but Xin Baiqing has occupied the position next to Chen Hong.
And the second male protagonist is Zhu Yilong, according to reason, Zhu Yilong should stand next to Zhang Ziyi.
At this time, an interesting scene happened, Zhu Yilong originally stood far away, Zhang Songwen, who was well versed in the rules of the entertainment industry, wanted to invite Zhu Yilong next to Zhang Ziyi.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yilong gave way, he knew that Zhang Songwen at this time was in the limelight, and the coffee position was naturally not reluctant.
So he took the initiative to give up his position and gave it to Zhang Songwen, and he stood on the right side of Zhang Songwen.
When she realized that this position was the focus, Zhang Zifeng behind was so frightened that she quickly "fled", it seems that Zhang Zifeng is still "young", and she finally chose the side position.
So why, in the entire group photo, Chen Feiyu stands on the outermost side, that is, the most inconspicuous position?
You know, in the cast list, he is the third male protagonist, second only to Zhang Zifeng, and his father is a director and his mother is a producer, no matter what, there is no reason to be left out.
In fact, this low-key arrangement should be deliberate.
Chen Feiyu has been exposed a lot of news not long ago, so now he can't be too high-profile, so standing on the outermost side is the best arrangement.
In such a group photo, there are so many "unspoken rules", from this group photo, a rule can basically be summarized, that is, "look at the status on the stage, the status is better than the coffee position".
The group photos of other films also have the same characteristics, such as the "Temple of Heaven Award" jury led by director Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou, standing in the well-deserved C position, on the left and right sides, is Zhou Dongyu, the second-highest-grossing Chinese actress, and Zhang Songwen, who recently caught fire.
Director Guan Jinpeng, Israeli director Nadav Lapid and Thai director Pingpaka Tovira are in a more secondary position.
Also applicable to this rule is "Eight Women One Play" directed by Jinpeng and starring Zhao Yazhi.
02. "Ladies first" in the audience is the main influencing factor for the group photo station
The red carpet of the film festival is generally not only on stage, but also many group photos offstage.
It is worth mentioning that the rules for group photos offstage are completely different from those on stage.
Because offstage group photos are informal occasions, they are generally not used as official stills of the movie, or photos officially released by the media, and other official uses, so the rules are relatively not so strict.
Of course, the most basic rule to follow is that the director is absolutely central.
But other sub-important positions will most likely be given to women in the crew, such as this crew photo of Chen Kai's opera crew, the C position is Chen Kaige, and the middle position is illuminated by the spotlight, Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Zifeng.
This time, the modest Zhang Songwen and Chen Hong stood in the most marginal and unimportant position, while young actors such as Zhu Yilong stood on both sides of C Wei, appearing happy and harmonious, and not so serious.
However, a group photo is a group photo, and when speaking, the microphone will still be in the hands of the most important person.
This tradition of "ladies first" can not only show the crew's care for female actors, which is a manifestation of "gentlemanly manners", but also show humanistic care for women to the outside world, which can be said to be an "unspoken rule" for offstage group photos.
For example: "The Legend" cooperated by Jackie Chan and Tang Jili put Guli Naza in the middle position, and Jackie Chan and Bona boss Yu Dongdu were separated on both sides and became "flower protection messengers".
And "Disappearing Her" also puts Ni Ni in the positive C position.
In the informal group photo of the movie "Guan Suoling", Chen Duling is placed in the C position, next to men watching.
In Zhang Zifeng's other film "Journey Through the Moon", she is also standing in the middle.
In the offstage group photo, if the director or investor is not present, most of the actors' group photos are mainly female C positions.
This "unspoken rule" applies on any occasion, because this move is also a universal value in the international entertainment industry.
For example, the combination of the drama "The Wandering Earth", although Wang Zhi has been very "interesting" to go around.
But the café is as big as Wu Jing, and he will also give Wang Zhi the C position when taking a group photo.
Even, helping female actors lift skirts and helping actresses walk are the embodiment of gentlemen, which many male actors also practice.
At the North Film Festival, Zhao Xiaotang chose a black dress with a long skirt.
But when walking, she accidentally tripped and fell, but Chen Feiyu helped her up.
Later, when she took photos, the hem of her skirt was always carried by the man next to her.
Similarly, when getting out of the car, Chen Feiyu also helped Zhou Ye lift the skirt.
In general, in the group photo offstage, the coffee position is not the most important influencing factor, but the actress has been taken care of to the greatest extent.
This is also the best place for male actors to shape their own gentlemanly image, at this time, "ladies first" has become the main influencing factor in the group photo position.
03. Capture the most real, the status of the coffee is high and judgmental
In addition to formal group photos on and off stage, the most on the film festival and red carpet is the capture of the media.
Interestingly, the capture reflects the most real entertainment industry ecology, and from the capture, we can also find many "unspoken rules" in the entertainment industry.
First look at the entry capture, in this photo, it is obvious who is the leader of the crew.
The entire entrance queue is divided into three layers, and Chen Kaige and his wife deserve to be in the front, thunderous and imposing.
And the second echelon is Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Songwen and other actors with the highest coffee positions and popularity.
When it came to the "third echelon", Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yilong followed behind, and the other actors were even blocked.
With a basic photo, you can see the status, position and rules.
In addition, although Chen Feiyu's group photo is standing on the far side, he always follows his father during the capture.
Every photo of Chen Kaige has Chen Feiyu's figure, which also proves the starting point and reliance of Chen Feiyu's career.
Look at Zhang Ziyi and Zhu Yilong again.
In the photo, the international chapter is in his pocket with one hand, holding the railing with one hand, full of momentum, talking and laughing, on the other hand, Zhu Yilong, low eyebrows, smile on his face, hands do not know where to place, the status and position of the two can be seen at a glance.
And about Zhang Songwen's capture, this rule is even more vividly displayed.
In the conversation with his sister-in-law Gao Ye, Zhang Songwen was very relaxed, and occasionally said two "whispered words", the two had a close relationship, and it could be seen that the relationship was very good, regardless of grade or coffee position.
But when taking photos with Chen Kaige, Zhang Songwen was obviously much more restrained.
In this group photo, he also introduced Gao Ye to Chen Kaige, but Zhang Songwen's state when facing Chen Kaige was the same as being with Gao Ye.
The more people who have experienced the struggle at the bottom, the more sensitive they will be to these unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.
Zhang Songwen's sensitivity is not his "worldliness", but actually the endless bitterness of the previous humble struggle, and the hardship of finally appearing in the camera.
And Zhang Ziyi's Weibo later clearly reflected this rule.
Interestingly, Zhang Ziyi did not send out a photo with the actors of the same crew afterwards, let alone with Chen Kaige, but sent out a photo of himself and Wu Jing, and specially ate each other.
On the one hand, Zhang Ziyi, as an old filmmaker in the entertainment industry, is well versed in the rules of the entertainment industry, and she knows that Wu Jing is now the hottest man in China, with a personal box office of 32.6 billion, the first person in China, and full of traffic and exposure.
Sending out a photo with Wu Jing is, of course, more proof of his coffee position and ability.
The other two photos are also very meaningful.
Zhang Ziyi posted a photo of herself and Wu Jing when they were young.
The two photos surround the Beijing Film Festival group photo, which leads to the second deep meaning: the friendship between the two.
Wu Jing and Zhang Ziyi have cooperated three times. The first time was "The Legend of Shushan", but at that time, Wu Jing was still a newcomer, and the two actually had little intersection.
The second time was "The Climber", which was the first time the two had worked together in a real sense, and it was here that the two established a relationship.
The third time, also in "Me and My Fathers", the two as directors, co-directed short films, should have had in-depth exchanges.
And Wu Jing also replied to Zhang Ziyi very knowingly: A hundred years is just a test, see you in the next movie.
This interaction, the entertainment industry flavor is not full.
Zhang Ziyi's current acting career is in a bottleneck period, but Wu Jing is in full swing, and being able to establish a deep relationship with Wu Jing is crucial for every actor.
For Zhang Ziyi, it is no exception.
Having said all this, everyone should know that in the entertainment industry, every group photo is meaningful.
Behind the photos, there is either a dispute over Vanity Fair's status, or the arrangement of coffee positions, or the embodiment of gentlemanly manners, or the display of personal relationships.
In short, the essence of Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry, only a red carpet, a photo, can be fully displayed, you will find these "unspoken rules" in the entertainment industry group photo; And the relationship between the stars is self-explanatory.
