"Send You a Little Red Flower" as the first blockbuster in 2021, released for 4 days, the box office will break 700 million, the performance of the "four-character brother" is remarkable, and more surprisingly, it is "Girl" Liu Haocun.
The tomboy of "One Second" at the beginning, the performance was unnatural, stiff, and the tone was obvious;
When it comes to "Send You a Little Red Flower", it is the whole process of relaxation, and the big eyes that roll and smile have become a big killer, convincing people that this is a sunny, clever and strange little girl.
Liu Haocun's visible progress in acting skills once again verified the viciousness of Zhang Yimou's vision, taking this opportunity to take stock of the generations of Mou girls, we can figure out why Liu Haocun can impress Zhang Yimou.
01, the first generation of the girl: Gong Li
In 1987, Zhang Yimou, who had worked as a photographer and actor, switched to the field of directing. This year, as the director of the movie "Red Sorghum", he and the screenwriter Mo Yan jointly looked for actors, and the two people were very cautious in the choice of the heroine Jiu'er. After layers of screening, two people were finally shortlisted - Gong Li and Shi Ke.
At that time, Shi Ke was one of the "five golden flowers in the chinese drama", with a graceful figure, full of charm between hands and feet, coupled with good acting skills, in Zhang Yimou's view, Shi Ke was more in line with the image of Jiu'er, who had a fat buttocks, just when he wanted to set the tone with a hammer, but "killed a Gong Li".
After meeting Gong Li, Zhang Yimou immediately made a decision and decided that Gong Li would play Jiu'er, according to his words: Gong Li's appearance is very pure, it does not look spicy and flamboyant, but it can show the character well. So the 22-year-old Gong Li became the first generation of "Mou Girl".
"Red Sorghum" was on fire, Zhang Yimou won 17 awards, and Gong Li, a newcomer who was still in the second grade of Chinese opera at the time, also became a hit and was remembered.
Moreover, it is not only the film, the actor and the director that are on fire, but also the emotions between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li. At that time, Zhang Yimou, who had a family and a child, was deeply attracted by Gong Li, and the two of them quickly came together.
In the following eight years, Zhang Yimou's heroines were almost all Gong Li, and the careers of both sides ushered in a peak period: 1990 "Ju Dou", 1991 "Big Red Lantern Hanging High", 1994 "Alive", 1992 "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit" and other high-quality movies were frequently released, Zhang Yimou won the award and won the soft hand, Gong Li also became a real movie queen.
Nowadays, the relationship between the two has long come to an end, but the glory of the two is still continuing. On September 25, 2020, Gong Li played Lang Ping in the movie "Win the Championship", which surprised the public; on November 27, Zhang Yimou's new work "One Second" was released, with a high score of 7.8.
02, the most "smart" girl: Zhang Ziyi
After Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi took over the next class of "Mou Girl". Coincidentally, Zhang Ziyi was also discovered by Zhang Yimou when she was a sophomore in Chinese opera.
She entered the audience's attention with the role of Zhao Di in the movie "My Father and Mother", this simple girl on the slope, a smile is too eye-catching, let people follow Zhang Ziyi, into the emotional life of Zhao Di, back to that beautiful era.
Since then, Zhang Ziyi's film career has been like an opening and hanging, "Peak Moment 2", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Ten Faces Ambush", "Memoirs of a Geisha", "A Generation of Grandmasters" and other masterpieces have made Zhang Ziyi a household name, and even rushed to the world, becoming an "international chapter" with a global reputation.
It can be said that Zhang Ziyi is lucky, fortunately she was discovered by Zhang Yimou and won the opportunity to become popular; and Zhang Ziyi is hardworking, she uses her own strength to seize and use every opportunity.
Some people say that she can become a girl because of her looks, which have both traditional oriental beauty and a touch of freshness. Some people also call her "Little Gong Li", believing that Zhang Yimou's cultivation of her is because of his residual love for Gong Li.
Whether or not because of Gong Li's appearance, Zhang Ziyi proved herself to the world that the transformation from Xiao Gong Li to the International Chapter was not easy, but she did it.
After experiencing Huo Qishan's hurried year, the love of a wealthy Jewish businessman, and the love affair of CCTV host Sabine, she chose Wang Feng, who seemed most unlikely to others.
As she herself said: "The person who can look at me with a halo, I think is the one who really likes me." And Wang Feng was exactly the right person for her. Now Zhang Ziyi, the eyes are full of happiness, is the peace and elegance of being a wife and a mother.
03, the most "bad" girl: Wei Minzhi
The appearance of Wei Minzhi has somewhat subverted people's perception of "Mou Girl", people call her "the most earthy and the worst Mou Girl", and even the director Who discovered her, Zhang Yimou, also said that she was not beautiful and thought that she was not suitable for the entertainment industry.
At that time, Zhang Yimou wanted to make "No One Less" out of the realism of the documentary, so it was particularly important in the choice of heroine. Wei Minzhi's newborn calf is not afraid of tiger momentum, the original ecological unpolluted temperament, so that Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up, through the audition, he immediately made a decision by Wei Minzhi with his real name.
Not surprisingly, "No One Can Be Less" achieved brilliant success, and Zhang Yimou won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival and the Best Director Award at the 19th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Film.
At the same time, this movie also made Wei Minzhi popular, and even after 21 years, people still remember that the little teacher who has gone through countless hardships in the city in order to find her student Zhang Huike will still cry for her.
Since then, Wei Minzhi's film contracts have come and gone, and at the age of 14, she seemed a little overwhelmed by the temptation of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry, and after listening to Zhang Yimou's advice, Wei Minzhi resolutely withdrew from the entertainment circle and concentrated on completing her studies.
I have to say that Wei Minzhi did not live up to the title of "Girl Seeker", she is like the two predecessors (Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi), she has a tenacity and can give everything she has in order to complete her goals.
Although she failed to apply for the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, she did not give up, and instead was admitted to the Department of Editing and Directing of the School of Film and Television Media of Xi'an Chinese University, and then went to the United States to study and study directing.
Today, Wei Minzhi, like her own nobleman Zhang Yimou, has become a director and continues to shine for the film industry.
04, the most "pure" girl: Zhou Dongyu
Zhou Dongyu's first appearance was Jing Qiu in "The Love of hawthorn trees".
The personality is melancholy and cold, the face is clean and pure, the facial features are shallow and small, with a pair of eyes that bend with a smile, the beauty is not aggressive, and it just performs the pure temperament of Jing Qiu, showing the purest love story.
The success of the film allowed Zhou Dongyu to withstand the aura of "the purest girl" and opened her dazzling acting career.
However, after her debut, Zhou Dongyu still received a lot of controversy, some people said that she was incredibly beautiful, and some people said that she was the ugliest girl, only the temperament of playing a beard. In the face of many questioning voices, Zhou Dongyu, who was originally introverted, became more inferior and less reticent.
However, the girl is worthy of the girl, and no matter how vicious the words are, she cannot be completely defeated. A "July and Ansheng" let people see a different Zhou Dongyu, many people before hitting their faces.
Since then, Zhou Dongyu has worked hard, and her acting skills and strength have also been recognized. A "Young You" let people see Zhou Dongyu with a story written on her face, and also won her the Academy Award and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress.
Although Zhou Dongyu is just 28 years old, she has become the first "three golden shadow queens" after the 90s.
Ten years after the release of "Hawthorn Tree Love", Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yimou have collaborated again to create a crime police film "Rock Solid", which is inevitably expected.
05, the most "style" girl: Ni Ni
Among the many "girl girls", Ni Ni can be described as the most stylish one. As a girl, Ni Ni's first appearance was in the prostitute Yumo in "Jinling Thirteen Chao".
Every time I see this character, four words come to mind - "smoke and beauty". Yumo's temperament, style and tenacity are all vividly interpreted by Ni Ni. It can be said that Yumo was played by Ni Ni, and her smile and raised her hands and feet showed the style and high cold temperament that Yumo should have, and I have to say that it is really beautiful to the bone.
Zhang Yimou once commented on Ni Ni: She is a new type in a new era, her future is unlimited, and of course, she needs opportunities.
But Ni Ni, who left Zhang Yimou, is obviously different from the fate of several other "Mou Girls", "Jinling Thirteen Chao" has been released for 9 years, but in these 9 years, she has not had any works to come up with.
But fortunately, in 2020, she met Pang Ling of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and Zhu Suosuo of "Flowing Golden Years", and circled a large wave of fans, expecting her to get better and better.
06, the most "pity" girl: Dong Jie
When Dong Jie is mentioned, many people think of the cold and beautiful autumn of Qingli Xiuya, and may also be interspersed with the scene of her and Wang Dazhi kissing in shock. But many people may not remember or do not know that Dong Jie was once also a "girl".
In fact, among the many "girl scouts", Dong Jie's starting point is not low. The millennium is destined to be a special year for Dong Jie, this year, she appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV, holding hands with Xie Tingfeng to star in the song "This Life Together", which won the attention of many people.
In the second half of the year, coinciding with Zhang Yimou's filming of the movie "Happy Time", the "Happy Girl" draft activity was launched. Dong Jie also became one of more than 50,000 draft picks. But fortunately, Dong Jie stood out and became the heroine of "Happy Time".
In the same year, the film was released, and Dong Jie won the 2001 "Huabiao Award" Film Newcomer Award for the role of the blind girl Wu Ying.
In 2003, dong jie's TV series "Golden Powder Family" starring Chen Kun was broadcast in the central eight sets, winning the CCTV annual ratings championship. She plays Leng Qingqiu, who has the knowledge of the scholarly family, and at the same time has a strong sense of modern women. As the poem says, "It is better to die with incense in the branches, and He once blew down in the north wind."
For a time, whether she was a cold and clear autumn with a clear temperament, or Dong Jie, who had a pure image, she became the white moonlight that people yearn for in their hearts.
But after "The Golden Powder Family", Dong Jie has no more works that can be handed.
Nowadays, Dong Jie and Pan Yueming are divorced, and her relationship is not smooth, and her career has not improved. And her forced tender appearance in the TV series "Macao People's Home" has also been complained about by many people.
07, the new girl: Liu Haocun
It has been more than 30 years since the debut of the first generation of "Mou Girl", and zhang Yimou is still selecting new people with his accurate and poisonous eyes. Liu Haocun, who starred in "One Second", "On the Cliff" and "The Coldest Gun", became a new "girl".
For Liu Haocun, Zhang Yimou did not hide his appreciation for her, not only praised her on the set as "very talented, born to eat this bowl of rice, can't help it", but also directly called her Zhou Dongyu's successor.
As a new "girl", in fact, Liu Haocun's own conditions are already excellent enough. Her appearance is in line with the consistent aesthetic of Guoshi Zhang Yimou, and the high-grade freshness also has a hint of traditional beauty. In addition, between her eyebrows, she also revealed a stubborn feeling of not easily accepting defeat, and her look and aura were quite like gong li and Zhang Ziyi's feelings. This is indispensable in the body of the "girl".
In addition, her acting skills can be said to be good, in "Send You a Little Red Flower", her bright eyes are full of aura.
In addition, in the last ten minutes of "One Second", she wore two twisted braids, her face was clean, and she smiled shyly at the camera, which made people shine, and she saw Zhang Ziyi in a trance, and it is no wonder that Zhang Yimou praised her.
The so-called "if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight", and if you want to top the aura of "girl", you must have the strength to match, and you must be able to withstand the pressure brought by this aura. After all, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, who once bore the aura of "Mou Girl", were all first-class celebrities.
What is the future of the new "girl" Liu Cunhao, we cannot make any assertions for the time being. But then she has several big-budget films coming out, and I look forward to her being able to speak with her business abilities and works. (Author: West Window Snow)
