Zhang Ziyi starred in Chen Kexin's "Sauce Garden Lane" shortlisted for the Cannes International Film Festival non-competition unit, will hold a world premiere, and will be released within the year.
At present, Zhang Ziyi has started the promotion of the new film, and took a magazine cover with director Chen Kexin.
Zhang Ziyi starred in "The Grandmaster" after almost no more powerful works came out, the past 10 years are basically getting married and having children, occasionally performing some works, but they are not very distinctive, the short film "Poetry" directed by her has set off a heated discussion, but everyone still likes to watch her starring in the new film, the kind of role full of tension and uniqueness.
When the opportunity came, Chen Kexin had an agreement before Zhang Ziyi woke up to shoot "Sauce Garden Lane", director Chen Kexin was interviewed, Zhang Ziyi said that this movie made her reborn when she finished it, and the director also thought that he was also reborn. Based on one of the four strange cases of the Republic of China, the case of killing a husband in the sauce garden, involving many characters of all colors, is very considerable. The cast is also very strong, in addition to Zhang Ziyi starring, the actors also include Lei Jiayin, Wang Chuanjun, Zhao Liying, Yang Mi, Yi Yang Qianxi, Li Xian, Fan Wei, Lin Yongjian, Zhang Xueying, etc.
Director Chen Kexin was interviewed and said that he was worried that Zhang Ziyi would play too many stubborn roles, but Zhang Ziyi played his own stubbornness that was different from the past, and he felt right from the beginning, and never hesitated to make this decision.
Zhang Ziyi may not have the same opinion as the director when talking about the role, but standing in front of the camera, Zhang Ziyi is completely right, and when she acts, she seems to have become another person. There is no absolute tacit understanding, but standing in front of the camera is tacit.
I hope that this role will allow Zhang Ziyi to bring her a little more desire to perform and creative enthusiasm, this time I enjoyed filming, and what I can bring her is the urge to shoot a little more.
Zhang Ziyi revealed that the director wanted to shoot this movie as early as 2015, but it was not made for various reasons, and she was deeply attracted by the experience of Zhan Zhou, a legendary woman. Her efforts to be unique will allow the actor to have a lot of angles to explore, like a mystery, full of imagination, extremely powerful, rich in dramatic conflict, and always obsessed.
In 2022, the director sent Zhang Ziyi a text message inviting her to star in "Sauce Garden Lane", Zhang Ziyi agreed to the director without hesitation, in fact, she has been looking forward to the performance.
Zhang Ziyi believes that the "difficulty" in creation can be seen in every dotted play, but the "difficulty" hidden behind the performance is the unpredictable human nature. The weakness and extremism of human nature are often discussed, and they are often discussed.
Zhang Ziyi found that what she has in common with Zhan Zhou is that in different environments, our work and life will also change, and our mood will also change due to changes in the external environment. While growing up and experiencing at the same time, there will naturally be a different level of understanding of the psychology of the characters.
In order to deeply shape Zhan Zhou, Zhang Ziyi watched "Independence and Belonging: The Spiritual History of New Women in the Republic of China", how to show the common dilemma faced by Zhan Zhoushi and modern women through performance, so that the audience can empathize, which is the most meaningful and the biggest challenge.
I also collected documentaries of similar cases, studied books on criminal psychology, and touched real stories around me, etc., which are the most basic preparations before filming, and the in-depth understanding of the prescribed situation of the characters is in place, and the absurdity will be completely eliminated.
The most with the director is the tipping point of various relationships, including the tipping point of emotional relationships, what exactly is. Many attempts have been made to find the answer, but what is the answer? Maybe it's open, and everyone has their own answer.
The first day I arrived on the set was a heavy scene, and I immediately got into the state and was very excited. Before the start of filming, I just did the character modeling, and I didn't know what kind of work the director had, because I was still more confident in preparing for the work in advance, so as soon as the filming started, everyone felt that everything was right.
The creative process was very relaxed, there was a lot of interaction and discussion between the actors, and the director also created enough space and respect for the actors, and the three months of filming were very nostalgic and reluctant.
Director Chen Kexin is a person who is sensual and caring, gentle and benevolent, and kind and compassionate. Three months together, the rest of your life will be unforgettable.
For the many characters she has created, Zhang Ziyi believes that she is working hard, and every role cannot be copied. You don't have to care about your career, you deliberately seek to work for what it is, and it's nothing, or that sentence, "not obsessed". I hope that Zhan Zhou's can continue to give birth to the mind in the minds of the audience, and each has its own merits, so I am very grateful.
I feel that Zhang Ziyi's interview is very in-depth, very deep, very philosophical and Zen, maybe she has reached a certain age, her thoughts and foresight are high, she has been working hard to live and work, and has never given up her demands and wishes. Many people may interpret her one-sidedly, but she never gives this opportunity, so that everyone can see more surprises and changing Zhang Ziyi.
Netizens are also full of praise for Zhang Ziyi's magazine's style, carrying a kitchen knife to shoot magazines, it really has a very strong aura, this taste is very positive, very beautiful.
After watching the interview between Zhang Ziyi and Chen Kexin, I am looking forward to this movie even more, not only with 31 popular actors performing, but also will be released at the Cannes Film Festival soon, looking forward to the audience's wonderful comments.
