In 2014, Zhang Guoguo's birthday, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Wang Zhongjun and other friends in the circle came, Zhang Guoli also specially invited an old friend, the director of the movie "Stubborn Lord" Mi Jiashan, Zhang Guoli publicly introduced: "This is my teacher."
Feng Xiaogang, who won 700 million yuan at the box office with "Private Order" in 2013, directly called out: ""The Stubborn Lord" is the ancestor of "Private Order". ”
Yes, Feng Xiaogang even let Ge You call "Yang Zhong" more than twenty years later in "Private Order", which was the name of Ge You's character in "Stubborn Lord".
In fact, the "Three T Companies" in "Stubborn Lord" and the "Good Dream Day Trip" in "Party A and Party B" and the "Private Customization" in "Private Customization" are all in the same line in form, but in the spirit, "Naughty Lord" may be the purest and most enjoyable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the ancestor.
"Stubborn Lord", a film filmed in 1988 and released 32 years ago, has changed the way comedy films are made in China in a certain sense, and has also become a turning point in the lives of many people.
Director Mijiashan
1988 was the famous "Year of Wang Shuo's Films", he had four novels filmed at the same time, namely "The Great Gasp", "Reincarnation", "Half flame and half seawater" and "Stubborn Lord", it is said that Wang Shuo was busy to the point of "laziness" at that time, directly from the magazine to cut out his own novel paragraphs and paste them on the script.
Among the four films, Wang Shuo is most satisfied with "The Stubborn Lord", he said that the reason why this movie is good is because the directors of the other three films are too capable, where they frantically change the original novel, and the movies are made into the director's own things. The director of "Naughty Lord", Mi Jiashan, has no ability, and simply does not change the novel, so the effect is the best.
If Wang Shuo said ten years in advance that Mijiashan had no ability, at that time he was an artist in the factory in the movie, and he followed the teacher Fu all day to do miscellaneous work, coincidentally, Feng Xiaogang was also born to do this work.
Mi Jiashan wanted to make a movie, but even if he tried harder, he would have to have a chance in ten or twenty years on seniority, so he went to Nortel to study directing for two years, starting with making TV dramas, and as a result, the first TV series "Crooked Stone Path" won the award, obtained the qualification for filmmaking, and also discovered Zhang Guoguo.
Before filming "The Stubborn Lord", Mijiashan made three movies in a row, each of which was very bumpy, which made him hold a fire in his stomach.
One day, MiJiashan happened to see the novel "Stubborn Lord", and he immediately reported to the Emei Film Studio where he was making a movie, and the factory had no interest in this kind of "nonsense" novel. Just at that time, the economic benefits were not good, mijiashan set up a military order for the factory, making money equally, not making money to make up for it, and now we call this practice "betting".
When "The Stubborn Lord" began filming, listening to the actors' lines, Mijiashan said dirty words in his heart while shooting: ****, this is what I want to say!
Starring Zhang Guoguo
Zhang Guoli was an actor in the Second Bureau of the Railway Literary troupe before he met Mijiashan, and was seen by Mijiashan in a science and education film. On the day his son Zhang Mo was born, Mijiashan found Zhang Guoguo, invited him to star in the TV series "Crooked Stone Path", and promised not to delay him to go home to take care of his wife and son.
Since then, Zhang Guoli and Mijiashan have been bound together for several years, he followed Mijiashan to learn directing while acting, when "Naughty Lord" was preparing to shoot, the original male number one was set to be Xie Yuan, but Xie Yuan did not have a schedule at that time, and Mijiashan arranged Zhang Guoguo.
To be honest, Zhang Guoguo's role as Yu Guan in "The Stubborn Lord" is not particularly brilliant, and he himself said that he feels that he can never find a sense of relaxation, if it were not for ge you and Liang Tian, two Native Beijing natives, Zhang Guoli would really be a bit choking.
After filming "Stubborn Lord", Zhang Guoli went to Antarctica, where he was awarded the collective first-class merit and the individual second-class merit, and after returning, he cooperated with Mijiashan to shoot "Yuan's Legacy Case", and after working as an MTV director for several years, he finally became completely popular with "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo".
It can be said that Mijiashan can be regarded as Zhang Guoguo's Bole, leader and teacher, and also the person who changed his destiny, and "The Stubborn Lord" is an important part of this process.
Starring Ge You
Before "The Stubborn Lord", although Ge You had a movie star father, he still ran in the literary troupe for ten years, accidentally electrocuted two movies, both of which were supporting roles, not to say that they were not very brilliant, in the words of Ge Cunzhuang, "the performance is very stiff". Ge You's mother has been persuading Ge You to change to photography (used in "Big Shot"), Ge You did not say yes or no, he just wanted to "wait a little longer".
When Mi Jiashan was looking for an actor for "The Stubborn Lord", there was a friend of Ge You's who applied, and the photo he sent was a group photo in the dormitory, Mi Jiashan did not notice the people in the front row, but at a glance at a guy in the back row who looked very special, that is, Ge You.
The director's idea was that Yang Zhong was a special role, and he could not play with an actor with thick eyebrows and big eyes, so he needed a special-looking actor to shape it, so he bought Ge You a plane ticket to let him audition in Chengdu. It was the first time ge you had taken a plane in his life, and hiking his curiosity didn't feel scared at all.
Very smoothly, Ge You got the role of Yang Zhong with his somewhat wandering acting skills and some strange looks, and the sentence he chanted most after returning home was "How did he fall in love with me?" ”
When filming "The Stubborn Lord", Ge You's slow half-beat and wandering were completely played, but Ma Xiaoqing, who played with him, was miserable, and there was a scene in which they talked four times, and the result was that Ge You's lines and state were different each time, which made Ma Xiaoqing feel very mad.
After the filming of "The Stubborn Lord", Mijiashan gave Ge You an 800 yuan film remuneration, and Ge You exclaimed: "I have never seen so much money when I grew up."
With "Stubborn Lord" Ge You was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, although he did not win the award, but it attracted the attention of the film and television industry, and all the big directors came to find Ge You.
Zhang Yimou found Ge You to act in "Code Name Jaguar", then Teng Wenji asked him to shoot "The Ballad of the Yellow River", Huang Shuqin found Ge You to act in "Siege of the City", then "The Story of the Editorial Department", then "Farewell to the Overlord" and "Alive", and finally a series of Feng Xiaogang's New Year films...
It can be said that Ge You's film and television career has been particularly smooth since "Stubborn Lord", he has been popular for more than thirty years, and his mother's name for Writing Ge You's novel is called "All Caught Up".
Ge You said: Mijiashan is my benefactor, and "The Stubborn Lord" is my turning point.
Starring Liang Tian
Similar to Ge You, Liang Tian was also more hesitant before becoming an actor, although he was backed by a family of high-ranking intellectuals, But Liang Tian never knew where his way was.
What is stronger than Ge You is that Ge You found his starting point in "Stubborn Lord", and Liang Tian found his own film and television positioning in "The Second Son Opens a Shop" before "Naughty Lord": old Beijing late-entry youth, hutong strings.
Ge You was accidentally brought into the crew by a friend, Liang Tian was recommended by his girlfriend, when he was in love with Sun Fengying, Sun Fengying participated in Mijiashan's "Unsinkable Horizon", and the director is very familiar, she recommended her boyfriend Liang Tian when she reported to the "Naughty Lord" crew, Liang Tian was very smooth to impress Mijiashan.
Unlike Ge You, "The Stubborn Lord" is not very important to Liang Tian's film and television career, and the "I Love My Home" he starred in is more important, as well as the comedy movie "Comedy Star" tailored for her by her mother.
Other actors Pan Hong, Ma Xiaoqing, Hou Yaohua and Li Geng
The relationship between Pan Hong and director Mi Jiashan is very complicated, Mi Jiashan was once ordered to find an actor in Shanghai when he was an artist, he took a look at the young Pan Hong, snatched it from Xie Jin' hand, and dragged her to Emei Factory to star in "Slave's Daughter".
After that, Pan Hong and Mi Jiashan married, and the marriage lasted for eight years.
In "Stubborn Lord", although Pan Hong is the female number one, her biggest relationship with the film is "out of place", she is still suitable for a movie like "Man to Middle Age", by the way, the original work of "Man to Middle Age" was written by Liang Tian's mother.
Because the Shanghai Theater Academy did not allow Ma Xiaoqing to go out to shoot a play, she simply went through the withdrawal procedures in order to star in "The Stubborn Lord", and this character girl has since become a "North Drifter".
In "Stubborn Lord", Ma Xiaoqing was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance, and the reason why she did not win the award in the end is said to be that her mentor Xie Jin "obstructed from it" and was worried that she would go abroad after winning the award.
Zhang Guoli moved to Hou Yaowen's house after arriving in Beijing. Hou Baolin has an apprentice named Yang Ziyang, Zhang Guoli and Yang Ziyang are colleagues and teachers and students, Hou Yaowen lived in Zhang Guoguo's dormitory when he went to Chengdu to study, the two were particularly close and Zhang Guoli could also say cross-talk at that time, so they established a deep friendship.
However, because Hou Yaowen is busy, often take care of Zhang Guoguo is the second brother Hou Yaohua, he and Zhang Guoli have cooperated in several film and television dramas and many sketches in those years, "The Stubborn Lord" and "Yuan's Legacy Case" in Zhang Guoguo is the starring role, Hou Yaohua is a supporting role, Hou Yaohua is the starring role in "The Story of the Editorial Department", Zhang Guoli is a supporting role.
Li Geng, who was regarded as a "runaway youth" in the movie, has since cooperated with Zhang Guoli in many film and television dramas, and almost every drama is playing a more obscene role.
Li Geng's other identity is China's first generation of advertising film directors, such as the famous "Whenever I see the oasis in the sky" and other advertisements are filmed by him.
"The Obstinate Lord"
"Stubborn Lord" is a special Wang Shuo film, which is full of all kinds of Wang Shuo-style spit, satire and small cleverness, and is hailed as the "most intensive oral movement" film, but it is also regarded by some experts as the most outlier and most reactionary film.
Also, Wang Shuo is wrong, Mi Jiashan is not a director without ability, he added a lot of visual expression to the film on the basis of Wang Shuo's novel, especially the "model performance" that was not in the original novel, which represents the classic lens of an era.
"Stubborn Lord" has not only changed the fate of many people, but also changed the way Chinese comedy films play in a certain sense, directly affecting the ideas of comedy creation in the next few decades.
The significance of "The Stubborn Lord" seems to have never been highly valued, and the movie is full of ideas, but many people find only jokes after watching it.
