introduction
Wang Shuo once commented on Jiang Wen: China needs such a person.
And Zhang Yimou also had high hopes: I believe that Jiang Wen will be the best director in China in the future.
From this point of view, Jiang Wen has a high status in the hearts of industry insiders.
Indeed it is.
Otherwise, the circle will not call it a "ghost talent".
But it is Jiang Wen, who is favored by everyone in this way, that he has only shot 5 movies in more than 20 years.
And most of them have been questioned and badly evaluated by the outside world.
Because of this, some people jokingly called Jiang Wen "Jiang Lang's talent".
Non-ya.
At the beginning of February, the movie "The Legend of Shi Jianqiao" publicized the record form.
It is clearly stated that he agrees to shoot, and the director column is also Jiang Wen, who has "disappeared" for 6 years.
Obviously, only after understanding the story behind Jiang Wen did he understand why he chose another life.
Ready to go
Directors in the entertainment industry are divided into two categories: one is a director from beginning to end, and the other is an actor who transforms into a self-directed actor.
However, no matter what type it is, there are countless in the industry.
But with the change of the times, some people will create perfunctory creations if they value fame and fortune, while others spend a lot of time studying a drama.
Just like Jiang Wen, who has been silent for 6 years, this is the case.
According to the information, his new work "The Legend of Shi Jianqiao" is expected to be released next year.
Of course, the protagonist is still unsurprisingly his wife Zhou Yun came to play.
In fact, if you don't know, if you strictly calculate it, this movie is also a work that Jiang Wen has been waiting for 1 or 20 years.
As early as when Zhang Ziyi played the role of "Gong Er" in "The Grandmaster", he had already bought the copyright of "The Legend of Shi Jianqiao".
And the prototype of this "Gong Er" is Shi Jianqiao, a chivalrous woman of the Republic of China.
But at that time, Jiang Wen wanted to prepare two works, "The Legend of Shi Jianqiao" and "One Step Away".
It's just that due to Zhou Yun's schedule, the former was suspended and shelved, so that "One Step Away" came out first.
It's a pity that the outside world didn't give much praise to the latter movie.
After all, this is Jiang Wen's new work after "Let the Bullets Fly".
However, how popular the ratings of "Let the Bullets Fly" are, then how dull the reputation of "One Step Away" is.
In addition, "Evil Does Not Prevail" released in 2018 is very different from the latter.
The two movies that "hit the street" in a row have also made Jiang Wen questioned by the outside world, which is nothing more than words like "Jiang Lang's talent".
To be honest, there have been countless rumors surrounding Jiang Wen over the years.
In addition to the absence of works, his name for the child is also a major public opinion point.
Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, the reason why Jiang Wen "disappeared" was to avoid the limelight.
But is it really the case?
In fact, if you look back at Jiang Wen's behavior over the years, you will find that his choice has never changed.
一战成名
In the summer of 1987, Jiang Wen was invited to the crew of "Red Sorghum" and partnered with Gong Li to play a couple.
As a result, during the filming process, Jiang Wen quarreled with director Zhang Yimou a lot for his role.
It can be said that this drama ended in the constant dispute between the two.
But since then, Zhang Yimou has concluded that Jiang Wen will be a "genius" in the industry.
Sure enough.
Six years later, actor Jiang Wen also entered the director's line and filmed the masterpiece "Sunny Days".
To this day, there are still many viewers who compare this movie with other films under Jiang Wen's name.
And most of the time, it was "Sunny Days" that was better.
Having said that, the sudden explosion did not let Jiang Wen strike while the iron was hot.
On the contrary, after 4 years, he launched his second movie "The Devil is Coming".
But unfortunately, because of the special theme, this film was not released in China.
However, "The Devil is Coming" abroad, which can be said to be highly acclaimed, even won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes.
However, success is also here, and failure is also here.
Who would have thought that Jiang Wen would violate the rules of the event and let "The Devil is Coming" be shortlisted for Cannes without review.
As a result, he also received a "gift package" that was banned from being a director for 5 years.
Fortunately, I am frustrated in the workplace and proud of my feelings.
It was during this period that Jiang Wen met Zhou Yun, who was 14 years apart.
When the time came to 2005, the lifting of the ban on filming "The Sun Also Rises" and the marriage of Zhou Yun went hand in hand.
But it was also at this time that the audience began to make similar voices of incomprehension and questioning Jiang Wen.
It's just that "The Sun Also Rises" has many blank spaces, which are jerky and obscure.
In this way, "Let the Bullets Fly" came out in a wave of doubts.
And this also made Jiang Wen fight a beautiful turnaround.
Just one "Let the Bullets Fly" has won countless awards, and the praise from the outside world is like a tide.
Unfortunately, reputation and criticism often go hand in hand.
The original intention remains the same
Many people may have heard that Jiang Wen's three children are named Jiang Yilang, Jiang Taro and Jiang Jiro.
The former is a mixed-race daughter born to him and his ex-wife, and the latter two sons were born to Zhou Yun.
Speaking of which, you may suddenly have a question in your heart: How is it full of Japanese style?
After all, according to normal times, no one seems to take such a name.
After learning that there were countless doubts from the outside world, Jiang Wen publicly responded to the matter.
In his opinion, the word "Lang" is a good name for a man.
Just like Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, once called his son "Taro" and "Jiro".
It can be seen that the name with the word "Lang" does not mean "pro-Japanese".
I have to say that such a response is also full of Jiang Wen's style: I don't care about the evaluation of the outside world, just be myself.
And this can be seen from his film works alone.
In this era of traffic, many people will cater to the audience for the sake of traffic.
But Jiang Wen is not biased, he is only concentrating on creating works that belong to Jiang Wen's style.
is like Jiang Wen teaching Quentin's sentence of "national quintessence", showing a free and easy model.
A few days ago, some media posted the latest frame of Jiang Wen's family of four and international friends.
However, looking closely at the photo, he seems to be no different from when he was young.
Over the years, Jiang Wen has not appeared in his works, and the rare dynamic is Reuters.
Obviously, he didn't let go of his dream of directing.
Counting the interval between each of Jiang Wen's works, it can also be clearly seen that he is by no means a "fast food" person.
Even Zhou Yun followed her husband to slow down.
And Jiang Wen and his wife, who have "disappeared" for 6 years, have finally reappeared.
Although I don't know if this "The Legend of Shi Jianqiao" can fight for the top again, I believe that it must be full of "Jiang Wenfeng".
epilogue
Whether it is an actor or a director, Jiang Wen's strength can be seen.
Now, he's more focused on directing.
Although there are few directorial works under Jiang Wen's name, there are very few.
But it can be said that he can also be called a sentence "everything must be a high-quality product".
After all, a work has been polished for several years, which is rare in today's era.
Obviously, Jiang Wen, who never follows the crowd, has already chosen another life.
What do you think of the "ghost director" Jiang Wen?
