Director Qing Qingran began to prepare for the shooting of the large-scale costume historical film "Xichu Overlord", in order to ensure the quality of the film, he specially invited the well-known director Zhang Yimou to serve as the producer.
Zhang Yimou was planning his new film at the time, so he recommended actress Gong Li to audition for the heroine "Queen Lu". Qing Qingran readily agreed, and took the opportunity to invite her longtime friend Guan Zhilin to audition for the role of "Yu Ji".
Guan Zhilin has been interested in costume plots since she was a child, and has long had the desire to star in a big-production costume film.
She gladly accepted the invitation of Director Baptist, and voluntarily gave up the position of female number one, expressing her willingness to audition for "Yu Ji". When she got the script, she found that the scene of "Yu Ji" was far inferior to "Queen Lu", and she was immediately sad.
At the same time, Gong Li also coveted the role of the heroine "Queen Lu" and vowed to take it for herself. When the two met at the audition site, the smell of gunpowder immediately appeared.
In order to be fair, Director Wash proposed that the two have a mandarin duck bath duel and let the producer Zhang Yimou judge. Originally, Guan Zhilin was very confident in her chances of winning, but she didn't expect that after Zhang Yimou's attitude was obviously biased towards Gong Li, she could only grit her teeth and accept the arrangement of supporting roles.
The film started filming smoothly soon, but the atmosphere on the set was quite boring due to the disagreement between the two actresses. One day, Guan Zhilin arrived on the set early to wait for filming, but Gong Li was nearly an hour late, causing all the staff to be delayed.
Guan Zhilin couldn't bear it anymore, went directly back to the hotel to rest, and refused to cooperate with the shooting. Faced with a dilemma, he could only persuade her softly, and finally coaxed her back to the set.
When the movie was finished, Guan Zhilin had a whim and took the initiative to ask Director Qi to play the theme song at the end of the record, and she was frustrated before washing.
Director Qi readily agreed, which made Gong Li very dissatisfied. The ending theme song has always been sung by the heroine, which is an iron rule. As a supporting actress, Guan Zhilin's move is simply offensive.
As a result, the right to sing the ending theme song has once again become the focus of contention between the two sides. Under the mediation of the staff, the two sides finally reached a compromise and decided to sing the Cantonese and Chinese versions of the theme song respectively.
After the completion of "Xichu Overlord", it has been generally praised by the audience and critics. Guan Zhilin and Gong Li's performances were also affirmed. But the relationship between the two has broken down.
Some commentators believe that from different positions, it is inevitable that the two will compete for interests, but overcalculation is often difficult to resolve the contradiction, but it makes them more painful. Regardless of the outcome, seeing through is a necessary condition for success.
What do you think of the acting skills of the two? Which character do you prefer in the work "Overlord of Western Chu"?
