Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?
If you're still here, this April, you're almost 65 years old.
65 years old, not a young age, but when I think of you, my mind is full of what you looked like when you were young.
Leslie.
This name, this face, has contained too much meaning and energy, and as a legendary figure, he does not exist in history, and to this day, he is still not forgotten.
How to describe Zhang Guorong in one sentence? I agree with the answer: how long my brother's life is, how regretful and how brilliant. In his body, any adjective seems thin, and any language looks pale.
The three words "Zhang Guorong" are enough...
He is the duke of Huang Xia's eyes, Ni Kuang praised him for his picturesque eyebrows, a smile has a strange charm, Chen Kexin said that he is not an ordinary person, he is a fairy...
In the 46 years of Zhang Guorong's life, he has participated in more than 50 film and television works in the past 26 years, including many classics, and many works are an important part of Chinese films.
In 2005, sponsored by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association and co-ordinated by the Hong Kong Film Critics Association, 100 directors, film critics and cultural workers were invited to vote for the "100 Best Chinese Films in The 100 Years of Chinese Cinema".

However, the two people's understanding of the relationship between drama and life is essentially different, Duan Xiaolou knows that drama is not life, and Cheng Dieyi is inseparable from human drama.
Duan Xiaolou married the famous prostitute Ju Xian (Gong Li) when he thought it was time to start a family, which caused Cheng Dieyi to believe that Ju Xian was a shameful third party, making Duan Xiao Lou a traitor, and since then, the love-hate war between the three around a play "Farewell to the Overlord" began to escalate with the changes of the times, eventually resulting in tragedy.
This movie is the peak of Chen Kaige, but also a completely sadistic film, Zhang Guorong's brilliant performance, the change in Cheng Dieyi's mentality is vividly expressed, the whole movie is slightly biographical, that special period of performance is in place, sad and ignorant era, all let people regret the protagonist's encounter.
