Preface
After many actors reach a certain age, they will no longer want to be bound by the identity of an actor and want to try to be a director. And among this group of people, there is a being who is called "God".
He is wonderful as an actor and director, and even so wonderful that no one can surpass his status in the director's circle. Back then, he only used 6 movies to let him enter the list of outstanding domestic directors and was in a high position.
This "ghost director" is Jiang Wen, a director who "inspires to make women gods", and still remembers his "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" 6 years ago, which made Xu Qing, who is very poor in "passers-by", regain the recognition of the audience.
And now Jiang Wen, who has not appeared in any new works for 6 years, has been questioned by many netizens whether he has "exhausted Jiang Lang's talents", or is he secretly preparing some "surprises"......
It's wonderful to be an actor or a director
Jiang Wen has to admit that he is a "magical" character, everyone says that actors are "acting like whom", but Jiang Wen was commented as "acting like Jiang Wen", but this can't bear Jiang Wen's excellence.
In the first year after graduating from Chinese opera, he was assigned to work at the China Youth Art Theater, and at that time he had already appeared as a leading actor in various classic plays, and in the second year, he was directly favored by director Chen Jialin and played "Pu Yi" in "The Last Queen".
After the release of this movie, the 22-year-old Jiang Wen directly won the nomination for Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards, this is the first time he has participated in a movie, and he can have such a high evaluation, and he is like a "miracle" in the entertainment industry.
The next year, he successfully won the Hundred Flowers Award for the role of "Qin Shutian" in "Furong Town", Jiang Wen was only 23 years old that year, and he had already reached the height that many actors need more than ten years to reach.
And this is just the beginning of Jiang Wen's acting career, and then as long as Jiang Wen acts, he will be nominated for the best actor if he does not win awards, and his line skills are so good that he can refer to his junior brother like a template.
Jiang Wen's "uniqueness" back then was something that many actors couldn't reach, he was very recognizable, no matter what drama he played, the audience could recognize this Jiang Wen at a glance, but he never let people play, this is where he is strong.
And Jiang Wen doesn't pick roles, once many viewers thought that Jiang Wen would only play "tough guy" and "rough guy", but the feminine eunuch was played by Jiang Wen, and he could play it vigorously.
When Jiang Wen was an actor, he could be selected as a top performer, but he didn't expect him to have the talent to be a director, so he first said that when he first started participating in movies, he couldn't help but discuss with the director how to shoot.
In the end, after shooting according to his requirements, the whole shot can be "sublimated", as long as the director who cooperates with Jiang Wen, there is no one who does not say that he is good.
It was because of this that Jiang Wen began to have the idea of wanting to be a director, and at that time, he had only one requirement for himself to be a director, that is, he wanted to shoot all the women in his lens as "gods".
The first movie he directed, "Sunny Days", had a too high starting point, and this movie won numerous awards as soon as it was made, but obviously the starting point was particularly high, but after this movie, not many audiences expected Jiang Wen to have a "masterpiece".
is mainly afraid that Jiang Wen will be like Chen Kaige, his "Farewell My Concubine" has already been "canonized", and no matter how much he makes movies in the future, he will not be able to surpass his "Farewell My Concubine". The audience is afraid that Jiang Wen will be like Chen Kaige, a "masterpiece" will be "Jiang Lang's talent", and he will no longer be able to make interesting works.
But I didn't expect Jiang Wen's talent to be more than this, the follow-up movies he directed were better than the other, and only 6 movies allowed him to directly enter the top of the domestic director list, and he even had his status in the global director circle during the most "peak" period.
Three "unforgettable" relationships
Jiang Wen is indeed talented and powerful, he is wonderful as an actor and a director, but in addition to his career, his love life is also wonderful.
Jiang Wen, who was once 23 years old, met Liu Xiaoqing when he was filming "Furong Town", Liu Xiaoqing was 32 years old that year, and the two of them helped each other in the crew, and they both had a good impression of each other, so they began to talk about "sister and brother love".
Later, the two of them often starred in movies together, which can be said to be "falling in love at public expense", and in the years that the two have been together, they have been supporting each other not only in life but also in their careers.
When Jiang Wen was not an actor and wanted to be a director, Liu Xiaoqing also gave full support, making a movie needed a lot of funds, and when Jiang Wen encountered financial difficulties, Liu Xiaoqing immediately asked a friend to borrow 3 million to Jiang Wen.
It's a pity that the two broke up in the year when Jiang Wen decided to transform, and finally couldn't wait for the release of this movie, and the two of them broke up first.
Liu Xiaoqing witnessed Jiang Wen's brilliance as an actor, but he didn't have the opportunity to stand next to director Jiang Wen, which made many people feel that the two of them were too "uneasy".
In the second year of breaking up with Liu Xiaoqing, Jiang Wen had a new emotional experience, in 1995, when he attended a party in Beijing, he and a French beauty "fell in love at first sight" and started a new relationship.
In 1997, the two of them chose to get married, but Jiang Wen wanted to stay in China for his career, and the French beauty also had to return to France for some reasons.
Later, they had a mixed-race daughter, which was able to temporarily alleviate the emotional lack of the two years of separation in a foreign country, but this was only temporary, and such a separation would only consume the feelings between them little by little.
Although Jiang Wen wanted to make amends, he also knew that this was not something that could be made up for by a short period of companionship, and finally ended their 8-year marriage in 2005.
In fact, after divorcing his first wife, Jiang Wen wanted to stop and rest for a while, he wanted to change his state, but "people are not as good as heaven".
Zhou Yun broke into his life like a "breeze", and Jiang Wen was tempted again, but this time he believed that he had met "true love".
The two of them got married in a low-key manner, but with a high-profile show of affection, Zhou Yun became his best "muse". In Jiang Wen's lens, Zhou Yun seems to have what he calls "divinity", free to come and go, and bring Zhou Yun's beauty to the extreme, no wonder they all say that the lens has "feelings", and Jiang Wen's lens is the best evidence.
The son's name became controversial and never stopped on the path of creation
They had two sons after marriage, but Jiang Wen's name for his son became the biggest controversy for Jiang Wen.
Jiang Jiro, Jiang Taro, no matter how the name sounds, it feels like "Rili Riqi", and the name of Jiang Wen's eldest daughter Jiang Yilang will inevitably be taken out and discussed.
Although there may be a bit of a "stereotype" reason, I have to say that this coincidence is too big, and the names of the three children have a bit of a "Japanese style" flavor, which makes netizens have a lot of doubts about Jiang Wen.
And when you already have a bad impression of a person, then it is very likely that what he does is "wrong", it has been 6 years since Jiang Wen last directed the movie "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice", Jiang Wen has not made movies again in the past 6 years, and many netizens have questioned whether he is really "Jiang Lang's talent" this time.
In fact, there are rumors that Jiang Wen has a movie in preparation this year, and he has been carefully polishing the script for the past six years.
The reason why he has been able to shoot classics for so many years is that he has always been patient to precipitate and accumulate, and each of his works has undergone the polishing of time, and this time is no exception.
And the child's name is just an expectation that Jiang Wen pinned on them, he expects his children to grow up to be good sons in the future, although the name will be a little too much, but this is Jiang Wen's own child, as long as Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun don't think about it, it's enough.
Now 61-year-old Jiang Wen is still moving forward on the road of improving himself, and he will have more excellent works in the future, although the interval is a little long, but every wait is worth it.
